SS1600 attempt for Streak
« on: January 17, 2017, 07:31:38 PM »
Hi Team,
            I am attempting an SS1600 on my V-Strom, have never completed one on it so challenge is up, here is my spot link, and my basic google map plan. Am on the road at 2am.

Spot Link: https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=131c4587de409b4976

Google Map Link: https://goo.gl/maps/y4PTxyxt8q52

Cheers

Map looks good- chance for a kip in your own bed is always a solid idea.
Will look forward to seeing where you are up to... when I get up!    :thumbs

Thank you sir, doing it with a mate here, we designed it this way becuase of the heat, figured a shower at home in the heat of the day, and a mind reset is a good thing

Had a quick yarn & a Pic as they passed through this morning....on track at this stage.

They got a little cool as they crossed the border into NSW just before the sun came up......that will soon change as they turn for Moree  :H

I'm sure Streak will be quaffing his shop's electrolytes and championing them in a future post.     ;-*

Just got off the phone with Streak :phone

They are traveling well and have finished their rest stop in Toowoomba (Shower, feed & rest) and are heading on the next stretch to Gympie :runyay

Biggles streak said to tell you:
"The Thorzt Hydration stuff I sell in my store is great!"

Here's the link if anyone is interested... (From personal experience I can agree it really is good :thumbsup)
https://www.austmotogear.com.au/product/re-hydration-50-pack-sugar-free/

Anyway it sounds like they are having an awesome time and are really enjoying the ride :runyay


Cheers

Only an hour's break in Toowoomba- he's not spoiling himself.  Should start cooling down somewhat.  He's in the high bushland, so is probably coping pretty well compared with Moree.

I thought he'd be up the D'Aguillar Hwy to Yarraman or Esk, but he's slabbing it all the way from Gympie.
You'll never see any roos that way, Streak!    :-(((
