Dreaming of doing a lap of Australia its why i bought the ST :13Candy. Anyone done it?? Would be good to get some advice off anyone whos done it. Im wanting to stick to highway 1 only doing it for an endurance ride not sight seeing bucket list kind of thing😎. Looking for some MCL pegs if anyone is selling. Cheers Mick

Hi Mick,

Big Ted is currently doing a lap around the Paddock.

TJ189 has done it in, I think, under 9 days.

Wombattle has done lots of long distance rides including many IBA rides.

And that's only the ones I know about.

I'll save this so I can work out where your "where is this?" posts might be.

Ros and I did it in 2013 Clockwise in 90 days staying at Pubs and Motels clocking up just over 20k. Definitely not an endurance run but a great holiday none-the-less. We did a write up that was published in the Australian Motorcyclist Magazine that might be of interest. I have posted a copy of the Article in my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqipgr7bh2e52pm/Round%20Oz%20Article%202013.pdf?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqipgr7bh2e52pm/Round%20Oz%20Article%202013.pdf?dl=0)
