Bruce, Simmo and Heidi trip and live travel map

[rave]

good to see you all made it home in one piece! well done

[1hotbusa]

Hey there,

Glad that everybody made it home ok. Bruce, how did you get on with the bike getting it home, have you any idea what the almighty wobble is. I'm wondering either a warped rim, or it's thrown a wheel weight. Did the wobble get better or worse with alcohol?

Well done. Looking forward to learning more about the trip as you all wind down and start to get back to relative noramlity (whatever that is)

Awesome effort guys'n gal! :aussie :aussie :aussie
Excellent venue at Max's, beaut set-up able to eat, drink be merry all with the backdrop of a vista of Busas...though not all the paintwork was sparkling clean due bit of of late

Haha late start due to photos and detox or maybe some careful removal and inverted replacement of a certain number of red pavers b4 Ms Max returned

Welcome back

[BLACKZOOK]

Thanks DJ and Pan for all the puter work you guys put in. Great work on the map DJ thanks again mate

[BLACKZOOK]

By the way we could easily cut 2-3 days from this trip, issues with broken racks and tyres then slowing down to arrive on time for the Canberra BBQ, this would have taken it back to 11-12 days easily.

To put this ride into perspective that actual around Australia record is under 7 days for the 14000+ klms. Impossible to beat and stay out of jail nowadays. Ours was a leisurely cruze compared to the actual record.

The revelation of the trip for me was how many people are out there on bikes either doing a lap or just riding huge differences for the fun of it. We met plenty of great people even one young lady riding around the country solo on a 250 just for the hell of it.

If anyone in the club is considering a long ride just get out there and do it it's really not that difficult apart from the first few days where everything aches.

Hi there,

From what I have read here Bruce was working on the pickup lines to make sure that he did not miss the best part of the map. I think he wanted to revisit Brisbane and Broome on that T shirt too

[DjPete]

that t shirt undies is a classic.
anyway cant wait for the summary report once you get your strength and sanity back

Well done to the trio. A hell of a trip. I reckon Heidi should have a slide night at her mum's place and invite us all
Great job to the riders and great work by DJ and Pan on the posts and the map.
So who's next and where to?
