Circumnavigation of Oz

Day #32 in Walpole (rest day) if you go to MotoddRobs shed/garage/house in the forest you will never want to leave. If you go for a ride with Rob on his favorite loop through the giant Karri tree forest don't try to keep up, just meet him at the pub, just saying, Cheers! Circumnavigation trip sounds fantastic, enjoy your ride mate take your time, schedules suck.
 
Looking forward to catching up with a couple of my old Sydney mates when they pass through Walpole. Besides Marty, Chris Cutler and Wlodek are a couple of guys I have a lot of time for. I hope they make the trip.
Hey Dave, Marty is no slouch and I'm somewhat slower these days so I'm sure he'll be up my clacker!!
 
6 km and nothing fell off! Venture a little further in the morning

Well spotted Chris! Waiting on my heel and toe lever to be made up by the el presidente. Actually works quite well as a forward and backward changer, which I can achieve with my gammy right leg.

Here is setup for the morning for fuel range testing.

Have been meaning to ask about the frame finish. Looking like Rickman-ish Nickle plated?

250KM / 155miles my guess...

Ran 46 km from reserve to dry. Will do full tank testing next. Good ride but very loud exhaust. Will need a bigger baffle, thinking supertrap.

Rear subframe is stock, pannier bags hang on the larger part of the frame, with strap over the back. Rear rack limited to the 5 litre fuel can, tank and sleeping bag on the back seat.

Northern beaches mafia in attendance to ensure no riff raff.
