    Fairwell N00bs

    after this years mission on a yamaha Jog, it was time to trump it.
    Unfortunatly, I am currently sick, but this is the plan

    And to do it all on a rental GN250

    I hope to survive it

    It all starts on sunday.
    I cant wait.
    Just finalising the details now.

    I have 3 weeks, so plenty of time!

    Hrm, that should be ok.. its only about eight thousand fucken kilometers.

    If you think you are sick now, wait until you get half way through that ride.

    And oil. Have heard the GN can be a little thirsty on oil on the open road. Had a friend find out the hard way.

    Boy, you bedda hope it don't rain outback while you there or there is no way you will return the bike in 2 weeks!( Oh, and slime? forget it-learn how to use irons well and take them as well as fittin HD tubes and carring spare std duty tubes-HD's too big to carry and too hard to work with roadside!))
    They are gettn rain in the Barkley today; prolly an aftermath of the cyclone that hit the Kimberley a few days ago.
    You like the heat huh? You really have no idea!

    Surprisingly, I wish you luck. You goanna need it.
    I'm no gynaecologist, however I would be happy to take a look......................
