One month

[Al]

Well, I have been working in Darwin for 1 month, commute 200km per day and absolutely love it!
Travelled about 5000km on the Beemer in the past month - try to ride as much as possible over weekends too. I am so comfortable on the bike that when we do need to travel by cage, my wife does the driving!
The wet season is approaching and that means a lot less riding for me then, but till then I am really enjoying it. Daytime temp of 32 and night min of 17!!!
There are some FERAL BASTARDS in the Territory too and we have to keep our guard up!
At least 140km a day is done on OPEN SPEED roads, only problem is that the roads are pretty straight / boring, but I have found a rural tarred road with good twisties to get the adrennaline pumping again.

All you guys and gals take care out there

Maybe your Wet will be better than ours, down country, which is more of a "slight damp" - driest in over a 100 years!
Gotta watch out for those feral animals - and the roos!
Only 110k limit down here, but, when you see 1 cop every 2-3 weeks........hey - I commute 200k a day as well, but only take the bike once a week or so. Too f**kin cold in the mornings at the moment - even with heated grips!

soundbeltfarm, I am a Production Manager for a reinforcement company in Winnellie.
SP, the long timers are are predicting a "wet" with a bit more water than before, will have to wait and see what happens. I have a 4X4 ute lined up, will collect end of Sept, lot of floodways on my way home!

Roos/wallabys are not the main problem.... They don't get on the piss and behind the wheel of a car!

Have a great weekend
