Hey guys, and gals......go-on, tell me if you are all over this?

In Adelaide right now; got darkie free yesterday. I have to wait aoiund for a few days while some beaurocratic wheels grind, I'll stay with my mate Taffy till I can set out for WA.

A guy in border control yesterday, while inspecting my tent etc, thought I would put my bike on a TRAIN to get to WA!!!! He was astounded I would actually RIDE the 2900km I have to go to get to Scaddan, via Kalgoorlie( Totally NOT for pleasure-I have to go here just to renew my WA REGO!!).

C U dudes.

**NordieBoy** · 20th March 2010, 21:57

I take it WA isn't West Auckland?

How many refuels is 2900km?

Have a good one Jamie, the 990 seat better be more comfortable than the 640, my arse is sore from just 500kms.....typing standing up!

I would say 10 going by mine, perhaps 12 for Jamie?????

**ducatijim** · 22nd March 2010, 22:42

Yeah, I think 10 fills will get me there!

My first planned big adventure this trip was to be the great(?) Nullarbor, however today happened and all thay has changed.

You see, I spent an unreasonable part of today trying to navigate my way aroung SA's biggest carpark. Some folk, particularly locals here, call it,....Adelaide.
I call it unreasonable. !1/4 hr to go 20km across town this morning to drop darkie in for service....but wait.........it gets worse=

3 hrs to do the return trip to pick her up this arvo. I didn't bother with pix cause only the numberplates are differant to NZ.
Bring on the open road, soon!

**shafty** · 23rd March 2010, 00:03

That would make for a very expensive rego Dude.

Good to see ya still got the call of the horizon!
