I'll be returning to Cairns on Friday 1 Aug to collect my GSA. From there, i will be going back across the Top End to Drysdale River to attend the OCR for the 9th Aug. After that, i may do some sight seeing around the Kimberley and Pilbara before joining the crowd at Gascoyne Junction on the 23rd.

SPOT link is here;

Having done the Gibb River Road twice and the Kimberly many times,( Best part of our state) I would say there would be heaps of wonderful and interesting video opportunities Steve

Have a great trip and see you at Gascoyne mate.

Left Cairns on Saturday and currently at Kunnanurra via Burke Developmental road to Normanton, Hells Gate, Calvert Road, Barkly Stock route, Elliot, Buchanin Highway, Duncan road to Kunnanurra. Bike has performed fautless (otherthan those pesky punctures). Covered 10,000km so far. Will leave for el questro tomorrow and smell some roses along the way. Drysdale for Friday (???)
Get out there!!!

I am riding a DKW 300cc from 1929 from Adelaide, arriving Darwin on 24 August. I might see you (you probably will battle to see me) John

By the sound of it John, I think we are now travelling in opposite directions

This adventure is over...it terminates in Broome (again). Had a minor oil leak in the Final Drive since Darwin on the forward journey. Kept my eye on it at it has developed to the point where i have had to get BMW Assist involved. Bike to be shipped back next week and i fly out Saturday evening.
Damn!!!
Dont look for me at the Gascoyne Races.

Sooooo does that mean the Gunbarrel etc might be on the agenda?!!

Does that mean you are flying home to pick up the reserve adventure bike and riding up to gascoyne junction

I reckon you'd be right Ahab, the XT has been rested long enough

Anyway, what else does he have to do, except maybe the Gunbarrel with Bowe.

Gascoyne Junction is not on the cards....the BMW may arrive back in Perth on the Friday and i want to collect asap. Gunbarrel might be on the cards but i will know more in about a weeks time. I guess i better decide soon as the warmer weather is approaching. Dont wanna become a pile of bleached bones in the desert!!!!

The only thing that is bleaching your bones is a oil leak. Mind you at our age that might help
