Cookie exactly how big is the tank on your bike if you plan to get to the Caltex at 5.30 to top up so you can leave by 6.00am - Big tank or slow hose?

tyre is good, have to ring the Kondinin shire on Thurday arvo. They had 15mm out there on Tuesday night, if they got any of this lot today could be a bit slippery.

The Black Top is good Bully, Play it safe mate, No Glory in flipping out on a wet, greasy track!!

I'm leaving tomorrow morning and hopefully will see you at the Norseman turnoff on Friday after lunch where I will be waiting for the main bunch.

Stay upright

Cheers

Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me."

I'm thinking down that line as well Swampy, travelling by myself, I might have to play it safe and then come home on the dirt. ( bloody weather )

Looks like the dump on hyden was on the hyden end due to the unstable tropical air mass that was sucked into the cold front , looks like the Hyden Norsesman road should be fine at least on Thursday Just my thoughts :roll:

I safe trip to everyone

Safe trip everyone, take it easy and err on the side of caution.

If anyone is running a SPOT, and wouldn't mind posting their links here, we can keep tabs, and also watch with envy :mrgreen:



Lucky buggers ! 8)

A couple of us are leaving Midvale Caltex at 5am. Will meet up with the main group at Norseman about Lunch time. If anyone wants to join us let me know on here.

I know Cookie and his group are leaving a bit later.

Also meeting a couple of lads from Esperance there too at Norseman.

Stay safe everyone and see you at some point tomorrow.
