Not a bad day's ride....
« on: July 17, 2015, 09:24:57 PM »
Warning: Image may upset some viewers, and send other into a euphoria of disbelief...





This is OzSTOC's very own Wombattle out doing what he does best on his ST1300.


You can get behind him and follow his endeavours with this live link - but hurry - I think he maybe done soon - or not!     ;-*

He started at 0622 yesterday morning at Torquay Vic, and has just entered Katherine NT at the time of posting.    :rockon :rockon :rockon


Go Wom.    :-++

They are his Spot tracking device reporting his position. Yesterday morning - he started at 0622 at Bass Strait.
Click the link for a live update, and you can click any of the spots to see time, heading position etc.


EDIT: Technically - He started at Newcastle the day before... But this (official) ride started at Port Augusta.

The green numbers are short breaks and yellow ones are long breaks.
Cheers,

For some reason Spotwalla is now showing the start at Port Augusta at 00:42:11 on the 17.07.2015 and the Finish time 00:02:37 on the 18.07.2015. Which makes it just under 24 hours for a distance of 2703 km.
Well done Wom!!!!

Port Augusta to Darwin (or vice versa) is an IBA recognised ride called a Centreline 24 if ridden in 24 hours or a Centreline 36 if ridden in 36 hours.
He also picked up a 50CC, Torquay to Darwin. He is probably trying for a 100CC because of his short stay in Darwin.

After stopping at 20:54 last night, Wom was on the road again at 4:09 this morning.
Currently near Broome.
