A nice choice Alan. I see two days to ride home, I guess you know the road but those will be big days.
I am in Willetton so would be happy to pick you up from the airport and maybe we can organise for a few of us to say hello on the way to your sisters.
Let us know if there is anything we can do for you in Perth.

wonder how the Go Pro will go behind it.

Ha ha, that sounds something I would say.  When I was looking at bikes before buying the kwaka one thing I considered was where can I fit/stick the gopro.

Definitely not the first trip across there on the bike but funny in that I've never ridden from back Perth To Coolgardie. It's usually been to Perth and up the coast to Port Hedland and back across country to Kalgoorlie and back to SA.

At the moment sis is picking me up from the airport but with a few of you wanting an ad hoc meet up I could get the train down south to
Wellard a little later if I can get picked up at the airport and dropped off at a train station after.

Tuesday evening works better as I want to make tracks back home ASAP on Wednesday. Want to make Norseman before it gets to late.

Alan no need for a train, Wellard is only 40 minutes from the airport. My place is in the middle so 20 minutes from my place to Wellard.

What time do you arrive Tuesday?
I won't have cheap phone access until Sunday afternoon but have good internet access.

This is the nicest bike road from Wellard to Coolgardie but if you are planning on an early morning start I have often seen roos on the section from The Lakes to York.

It has taken me about 4 attempts to get this map correct.

Have been past there a few times but never stopped off and sounds good to me.

Haven't heard of any of those places and anyway I would prefer Maccas or Hungry Jacks and by the time I get there my tummy will think my throat has been cut.

Perth Airport to Maccas Cockburn Central at that time of day should be reasonably clear of traffic and about 30 minutes.
Will you be checking in luggage?
Based having to wait for luggage we could work on being out of the airport by say 5:50 to 6:00 so shall pan on being at Macca's by 6:30.
Alan if you are happy I shall raise a new thread for gathering at Maccas at 6:30.
I will pick you up from the airport and drop you at your sisters after Maccas.

Sounds like a plan I'll let sis know that there's no nee to pick me up.

By the way I happen to like Perth metro trains - a lot better than the old diesel railcars we have on the northern line to Gawler.

Southern line has been electrified but the northern one is only about half done.

Well done, nice looking bike.

Looking forward to seeing the farkling process begin.

What's first? trailer?
At the moment not much and in no particular order:-

Classic Towbar
Migsel GPS Mount
12 volt power supply
Cruise Control - maybe from this years grain harvest
 
 :think1 A rack for the pie warmer.........

The 1100 will still be the main ride and I'll use the 1300 for little old lady type rides on Sundays RTEs

So, you all missed this  :think1 A rack for the pie warmer......... from above.

an attempt at a little humour; I often hear how hot the fairing pockets get with the 1300 and some call them pie warmers -

The left one gets hot enough to keep a pie warm for sure. Right one not so.

And of course being opposite to the 1100 - it's the one that locks.

Will have to find a new place to keep the tyre pressure gauge.

Interestingly the top case is the same as the one I planned for the 1100 and it looks like the LED brake light kit is installed as well.

It seems there might be more bonus items than originally expected!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
