I managed to see a goodly part of Australia in excellent condition. Haven't seen that much green in the Outback - ever.
Got to be a part of an epic 3000km in 24 hours ride by FarRider Ian (Tabledrain), got to meet up with 38 other FarRiders in South Australia for the unveiling of a plaque dedicated to Davo Jones, FarRider Founder.
Got to catch up and ride with Charleen for some part of the way as she flew down to be part of the Plaque Ride.
All in all a really enjoyable 10 days for me.
Today was pretty normal compared to the rest of the trip. Riding up the Newell Hwy isn't all that exciting. It is a good A to B road and that is all. I ran in to some rain here and there. Only put on the wet weather jacket as there was no real need for the pants whilst moving. The GoldWing protects the legs quite well.
Had a busy afternoon cleaning up the bike, with half a ton of locusts to flush out of the engine bay and radiators. Little buggers get in everywhere. I'll probably be smelling them frying for weeks.
Here's a couple of videos taken by FarRider Stu which will give an insight into what the Plaque Ride was all about.
Until our next ride
Cheers All
