Re: Sunday ride
Jamie, Sorry I missed your departure as I'm down in Albany for a few days.
Good luck mate in your new venture in the East. There is some great motorcycle roads to travel there, one of which is the Putty Road to Singleton where I spent some time as a Firey whilst serving time in the Engineers (ARMY)
Some lovely places to travel through so enjoy yourself when you get time off from the eternal slog.
I hope it works out okay for you and your family and don't forget your mates in the West who are wishing you well.
Warmest Regards
Swampy

Of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jeweled sea.
Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me."

Re: Sunday ride
Yes out that way
Even the wiffe who's from Hornsby reconds a bike in that area is the way to go
I'm lucky enough through work to be supplied a vehicle which I will use to negotiate inner Sydney to enjoy a bit of surf with Koos
And being on the door step of some great rides the 1150 GSA will have to do

Glad to hear the Sunday ride went OK....or are you like Digger and saving the dramas for the video.
The daylight saving time change to South Australia is a real pain heading east.

Re: Sunday ride
Onya Jamie, sounds like the trek across Oz was a memorable one. Showcases what great bikes BMW makes that can handle trips like this with reliability and comfort. It should be on all BMW bike owners bucket list to do a trip like this it's character building 
R1150 RT, R1200 GSA 2009, K1200 LT, C650GT 2016, 2018 R1200 RT DR 650 2012

Re: Sunday ride
Jamie, hope your first day in your new job was up to expectations. We are all thinking of you, mate. Has Koos taken you under his wing yet? You've got to try and get him onto an airhead while you are there. Send us some pictures if you can and let us know when you're back in town. Don't look for a house on the Sydney's north shore, starting prices are around $2m for a shoebox on a handkerchief sized plot.

Just a bit on envy on this side of Border Village, just hope you don't feature in an episode of Bondi Rescue.
Have a $10 steak for me.
