Hoping to be there. The plan is to leave a bit later and go gravel via Hyden. If the weather packs up, I might join you on black top

Looks like I will be able to go to the border. Put a new front tyre on the RT and am going to change the male side of the fuel in line quick connectors apparently they have a habit of braking of,then things can get hot. Rug up people it gets cold out there.

Good to see you can make it Goldie, I'm going to leave on Thursday, an easy first day to the Coolgardie cp, then a few hours in the pub. Next morning sleep in, a yawn, a scratch n sniff, then bump into whoever's upon the track.

I will be attending the OCR but my starting point will be Broken Hill after the BMW Enduro which finishes on the 29th July. I'm gunna smell some roses around that area to fill in time and maybe sus out Cameron's Corner. How are you returning to Perth? I'm thinking of coming back via the APY Lands....suitable for all sizes of bikes.

To smell roses, one must first learn how to slow down.

How is John Whiteman?, chatted with John at Norsemen, he was riding a ball of mud with handlebars, limping around like Forest Gump mumbling something about a sore knee and the Hyden road, didn't look too happy??
