We bought a bike for this adventure in OZ. A insurance write off. Repairable version which means theres nother much wrong withg it. 1000cc DL V strom 2005 14500kl for $3000. Another $1000 for my mate to replace the screen the handle bar and mirrors pull out the forks a little and straighten the plates and front whell and shees all like new again. About $6000 on the road with Victorian fre registering coming in at about $2000. Had th bike shipped to Brisbane were we set off on our first leg to Caines couple of months ago. Big country. Rains alot in Queensland

The pic here is omn Magnetic Island. Had this beach to ourselves. Recommend this stopover on any trip up Nth Queensland

left the bike with Wain at Suzuki dealer for 6 weeks while came back to NZ to mow the lawns

Must be a big lawn that you came back for 6 weeks.

The ride in Oz must be great though you lucky buggers.
