Postie Bike Challenge?

[G005E]

saw an ad in the back of a bike magazine for the "postie bike challenge" where you go around Australia on a honda CT110... seems like a good laugh. anyone completed it or know anyone who has that could tell me more about it?

Yeah, I've got a work colleague who is over there doing the challenge. I told him beforehand that I/we need pics.:cool:

One of our guys from here did it last year ... http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=60433&highlight=postie+bike+challenge

cheers nasty. sounds like it may be a bit painful riding a bike with a top speed of 75km/h... i suppose it'll be all fairly tough terrain so there won't be much point in going too fast

I attempted it last year, and it is a hell of a lot of fun. Nasty has posted a link to my report on the ride.

oh cool, so it's well worth the $5000? did you donate the bike at the end as well?

[Jantar]

I gave the bike to Steam (a fellow KBer) for his use in Australia. Unfortunately, he had a similar crash to mine.
