Any chance of purchasing more of the rally patches? Would like one or two more for other jackets.

Good call Pezzz.
I'm kicking myself for not getting more of the previous years patches from Glen

Home today after National meet and around 5,280km.

Rode from Cessnock to Oberon on Saturday, through the rain that stopped the horse racing. I like my OzSTOC jacket, but it ain't water proof.

Glad you're home safe and sound.

Thanks Marcus- you're in there!

Moderators can be nasty, and can alter post counts if they feel that they they havent been earned.

Marcus could be the inaugural -5000 post holder....

Perhaps a post count increment can be applied if the post contains at least 25 words in at least one meaningful sentence.
em-thingies may be liberally applied but not included in the word count.
Such a rule would decimate some of the supposed post counts we see on the Forum.

After 5 weeks and 5 hours, 12,863 kms, over 620 litres of fuel at a cost of over $900 I arrived home today with Theresa who besides joining me for a weekend in Sydney and again in Brisbane for the rally also joined me in Adelaide for the final 3,000 kms.
During a weeks stopover in Victor Harbor on the way home I had a total of 3 days when I actually didn't ride the bike.

Glad to hear that you are home safe Glen. An epic five weeks.

Rob’s finished his first loop. The bike’s parked up in the Blue Mountains and I’ll continue the Oz trip later in June.
Thanks guys for a fantastic Rally and the riding companionship both up to Toowoomba and then on to Esk.
Here’s where I went afterwards…
11,200 Km
534 litres of petrol
$825 petrol (includes obligatory coffee and pie at each roadhouse stop)

Nude swim at Crystal Creek, Townsville. Won't need a shower for another few days now...

Up Mossman way - Very nice

Heading towards Mt Isa in 40 degree heat

Nothing much else to see as you enter the NT

Yipeeee!

It’s not the size that matters…

The devil’s got big marbles

Check out Kings Canyon? – Naah!

A typical night on the road. Mate you've got some bugs in this country!

Pretty early morning start

Coober Pedy long-drops

Could use a corner right now

Still no corners in sight

Salt Lake Selfie thanks to a passing tourist

What a relief! I was ever so worried about what to do if I caught up with someone out here…

Woomera – A rocket parked beside some space junk

Falls Creek - Up into the Snowy Mountains to bypass the Melbourne Easter traffic

Last night in the tent on the way back to NSW

A really cool trip!!

Great photo-report, Rob. Love your imaginative photos!
Guess you don't see many long straight stretches like that in Unzud.

johnnyYTED · « **Reply #773 on:** April 13, 2015, 06:47:03 PM »

Rob great trip you've done, and excellent pics

thanks. Your OzSTOC jacket has probably travelled the furtheST now,,
It was good meeting and riding with you. let me know when your back in Oz I might come for a ride or part there of,

well done.
