The Trans America Trail

[Phreaky Phil]

I still have Al's DVD on prepping for the TAT. I'll be sending it back to him soon.

Much to be learnt from the video ? We opened a T.A.T bank account today. Found on our last trip that it was a good incentive having a seperate account to put money into. The new bike prep has started in true Phreaky Phil fashion by pulling it to bits !!

Just wanting to say I'm still in for a 2012 or 2013 trip! Now got a couple mates there to pay a visit to, so double the reason to make the trip!

[gav24]

Yeah still keen too, but had to step away from organising this as I have some other family stuff come up that will stop me being at all useful. Will keep checking back here though to see how the plans are going, and maybe join in when my life is back to normal again.

With all these goings on, is 2011 a reality for a TAT? If yes I would like to put my hat or helmet into the ring!

Who is the ringleader or is it the blind leading the blind?

Sorry, but way too soon for me. I'm busy buying more houses and having babies and....(well it's not me having the baby, but you know what I meen)....and working and stuff.

I think I may have been for a while...
Like Bart, I also have a new baby on the way, (well you know - the missus does!) early next year, and my Dads just found out that he has terminal brain cancer, so I'll be back in the UK at some point. Thats why I'm stepping out of any "ring-leading" type activities for a while, still really keen and after all the ups and inevitable downs of the next 12 months I will probably need the TAT or similar more than ever.
So please, get organising and if I'm available and can afford it - I'm in! Most likely 2012 though.

Hi Eddie, no rush to return the DVD, rent it out to a few of your mates, get them keen to ride the TAT
I’m off to Darwin on Thursday 9th, going to join a group of 6 other riders and take 3 weeks to ride to Melbourne on rented DR650’s, heading over to the Western Australia boarder first and then down the Tanami Road, Alice Springs, Oodnadatta track, Coober Pedy, Flinders Rangers and the likes, intention is to see some of the tourist bits but via the more remote and less used roads.
Will cover something like 6,000 kms so I guess I’m to have a few sore bits at the end of the ride.

This is training for the TAT!!

Cheers

That sounds like a neat trip. Would like to get back to Aus to ride again. May be after the TAT.
