Anyone up for a tour of Tassie!

[Humperdinkel]

And it was from this point onwards that this became an epic journey, with participants coming from 3 states, with 6 States travelled through at some point!

Nearly 60000km's in total travelled by bike, car, & ferry between the 6 of us!

Excited.....

Just a little!

:rockon:

Thats is some EPIC mileage mate , we have to find a local rag somewhere to carry our story surely :thumbup:

$630 for tyres You guys get raped badly over there :spank:

My only cost me $425 including stems , my new rear when I get it will only be $256

Yes i thought $480 was expensive, and that's as good as it's gonna get in Adelaide, but $630 is a lot! The "Tyranny of Distance" maybe???

Humpy, you must take your towel when you get tyres....they are awesome prices!

Well i am taking two camera's for video, and photo's, and intend to write a blog, or ride report at the end of each day's ride, and i guess i am not alone in doing stuff like this.

It is a pretty unique trip, People coming from such far starting points, even the mix of bikes, and the male to female rider ratio, etc...

The trip across the Nullaboor for Mike & Kazza is going to make the ride to Melbourne seem like a ride to the shop for milk in terms of length of hours of nothingness!

I dont reckon i would mind Humpy & Kel's ride to the Island, some decent roads amongst the roads travelled there...

Still 2000km's each way to the Island makes it a long long ride, by the time you chuck Tassie into the Mix!

That's awesome news, hope you still fit in them by the time we leave Tassie! Lots of good eating to do down that way i reckon!

Only taking one set of Kevlar Jeans....my 2 year old Hornee's...which Jess took up for me last night, as they were 6 inch's too long in the leg! WTF!

Am going to see whether we can get Jess a pair at PI, at the expo, for a decent discount!

Check it out - Joe's Garage

Or there are a stack of other great places all along salamanca place. (thats where squires is)

Cant wait to catch up with you all

Been to Squires in Melbourne (Docklands and their old one in the city) and to the Perth one in Murray Street - gotta make it a trifecta and try the one in Tassie - especially when they have JS Porter on tap :iconbeer: :drool: :cheer:
