What route are you planning? Probably not keen for the whole ride but possibly could tag along for a bit. Might be some others keen too...

Goodf to see you posting, Al. Bugger, eh?
To the newbie...that's a very big ride for a beginning biker. Biking takes much more energy than driving. Pace yourself. Stop often. (as the months/years go by, you will not need to do this so much). Company along the way is good.

John, Gidday! Bugger is indeed the word! Yep, had a bit of strife over the last couple of weeks with the bike. Ended up in a HUGE tankslapper on Sunday and am now looking at a few weeks recuperation. Bugger!

This will be a choice ride if the weathers up for it, and even if it isn't........
