Circumnavigation of Oz take 2

Head SE towards Boddington, turn off on the Lower Hotham Road past Quindanning. You will come to a junction, turn right to Collie for fuel if needed, then south to Mumballup, right turn to Donnybrook, to Kirup, to Bailingup, then Bailingup to Nannup. You will not regret the Bailingup - Nannup road. Nannup good spot for food and overnighter before short ride to Walpole.

Yeah, definitely and miss WAPOL, point to point cameras and WA's Valium drivers on a couple of very boring highways.
 
Quindanning Pub is a good spot for a cleansing ale. Whenever I ride to Perth I always head for Dwellingup but go via Boyup Brook and Bridgetown if on the Motodd or the dirt option via Rocky Gully on the BM. Avoid the freeway/Forrest Hwy at all cost. Ride from Manjimup to Walpole is specky riding through the Karri Forrest.

Closing in on 11,000 km now, only some very minor electrical problems, other than that both Laverdas running well

Great riding weather today. Wash the bike time...

If you go south via Quindanning through to Collie from Dwellingup via the Pinjarra Williams road, the Lower Hotham Road is good. Turn off about 40k's east of Dwellingup.

Just noticed Davo mentioned the Lower Hotham road earlier. If you've already passed it, the Bailingup to Nannup Road is exciting. Maybe not a bad thing. Skull and bones type warnings spraypainted on the road. Blind off camber corners, gravel washed across the road, roos, farmer's driveways, more roos mixed in with great corners and elevation changes. What's not to like?

Lots of memories of many great rides on the Bailingup to Nannup Road and all its challenges several mates left a lot of skin on that road, more than once for some of them. Have fun, be careful, excellent thread thanks for sharing your ride
 
Up the road ... Down the road ... Hit the road ... On the street - quite a few variable interpretations there - amazing how Eengleesh can mince it all up.
 
The new stator arrived yesterday so will fit it over the w/e and hopefully see 14.5 volts. New stator and 2 RRs later if I don't see 14.5v I'm going to part the Motodd out and and carry on riding the ever reliable BM.

Saw Marty and Graham off this morning with a ride along my test track and a coffee at Bow Bridge. Had a pretty good night with the boys and Chris Gaff who came overs for the night with a nice baked cheese cake his misses made.
Really good catching up with Marty again after many years and meeting Graham who I enjoyed having his company.
They're only 2 corners from home, left at Esperance and right at Norsman then it's a straight run back to Sydney. Only about 4000 kays to go.
