I have no idea why bubbler and Spotwalla has not been doing its thing. After emailing the help thingy and checking API is enabled and other settings I finally got to activate bubbler again and it had 10 points waiting to upload, BUT it only shows a few. it finally has us at Morgan and I'm not touching it again hoping it all works tomorrow onwards. here's the link again

I was hoping to catch up with Johnny and Stroppy, but those plans have fallen in a hole.

Lack of water at your end, perhaps???

My spot goes live at midnight. What time I depart will depend on what time I wake up.

The bikes already to go but I'm not.

Going on my own because Heather had a recent minor issue with her back and doesn't want to make it worse.

John g · « **Reply #58 on:** August 01, 2019, 10:17:15 PM »

. The water is just fine

but I have a important appointment at 3 pm Friday that I need to attend (not health but financial). Google maps tell me I can make this trip in 14hrs but I think for me it would be risky to try it.So since I would like to wear out my st1100 only 83000 ks I'm going to err on the side of caution .next year is a must !!! .again ,good ride and God speed to all that go . Cheers John

I rode back to Adelaide from BV in 2017 in one day because I had to work the monday but in truth that's too long a day for me so made sure I applied for AL either side of it this year.

I'm sorry to hear this. Heather's not having much luck with Border Runs.

Arrived in Port Augusta and it's still dark. It's the first time I've seen my bike display minus for the outside temperature.

Have a good trip Bodo

That's not something that I am keen to see. Ride safe my friend, and say Hi to the gang from me.

You should come East more often, I had the snow symbol displayed on the recent Tarana RTE!

How is the Trophy travelling Terry? More comfy than the ST?

Comfort . . . Hmmmm . . Borderline better. But way more economical than the ST1300. Using around 4.6 litres per 100 ks. 26 litre tank, easily giving around 550 ks per tank.

Johnny and I are now settled in at Border Village.

See you tomorrow. I am in Ceduna for tonight.

alans1100 · « **Reply #70 on:** August 02, 2019, 08:42:38 PM »

No longer going.

Did what I need to do in Adelaide okay but the rear tyre went down about 10 km South of the Horrocks Pass/Hw1 turn off. See Map.

I rang Heather who came over with the compressor and we got the bike as far as Wilmington and left it at the garage. Just hooked the trailer up to the car and we're going over to bring the bike back.

Just new I should have registered the 1100A for this trip.

Bugger. It looks like I am going to be the sole SA representative there. The only mishap I have had so far is leaving my toothbrush set at home so I'll be dropping into On The Run as I leave Ceduna shortly.

alans1100 · « **Reply #72 on:** August 03, 2019, 08:26:45 AM »

Got the bike back on the back of our 6 x 4 trailer and tied it down. Drove home at slower than normal speed got back here about 12:30 am.

It got down to -6°C at Yalata this morning. I was feeling it. I'm defrosting at Nullabor now and having breakfast.
