On Tuesaday, 21-06-2022, left for my first long solo ride on my ST1100. First 2km was over my Sandy and rough road. The risers and standing on pegs helped enormously. Stopped in Goondi for fuel for bike and myself. Roadworks before St George, another stop for break and fuel. Onwards to Mitchell, small finger clobbered by rock thrown up by trailer. Fuel and break at Mitchell, food at Morven, and Tambo, where accommodation fully booked out. As the sun set, sat in behind road train and dawdled into Barcaldine. Slow travel towards Longreach heading into sun and worrying about skippies. Then eventually a car passed me, so I could follow, using his lights to see further ahead.
The local Honda dealer is a pretty good bloke , found replacement screw for the lid of master clutch resiviour.
I have to get driving lights fitted urgently.
