Thanks Beau, I hope so too, the trip was gunna happen, then not gunna happen for time reasons. Then I thought 'stuff it, I'll ride up, don't want regrets later on, it's only money after all' So I'm leaving work a week earlier, ride to Darwin and fly back the next day. Coupla days later jump on a plane to the states for a 3 week driving holiday. Get home on Monday, leave for Darwin in the car Tuesday. Start working up there following Monday! Not so sure about pics....... over 1000kms a day, don't wanna ride at nite! Life's an adventure after all!
When are you thinking about riding up, if you ride between 8- 5 most off the roos would have left the road , this time of the year with winter around they hang close to the road, make sure you have your winter gear with you.
Riding up this time next month. Winter gear???? Heading north..... it's warmer up north. OK, I'll take a jumper and hope for the best. Not too sure about fuel consumption...... Hmmmmmm
People are like turtles....... you don't move forward unless you stick your neck out!!
