    Anyone else doin the Postie ride?

    10 days throught the outback and Snowy mountains, 3,300k's, fully supported and only $5000aus, which includes worn out postie bike... AND you get to ride for charity.

    Postie bikes bite - ask Jantar!
    Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow aren’t just the 4 cycles of an engine

    Had two friends from the Wairarapa do it last year. They loved it. We had a photo night with them. A lot of dusty road photo's.

    They liked it so much they are back over there in Aus at the moment doing a private trip with their own bikes this time.

    All the best. Have a great trip.
    Ride it until the wheels fall off...

    Get in touch with Jantar.
    He didn't finish it but he might have some good advice for you.

    $5000 for an extended torture session...isn't there better things to spend 5k on???
    maybe a trip to Thailand would be more 'educational'
