Noooo the picture isn't complete...it needs to stop where they started

I thought they would go west from Cairns (Townsville?) to do the figure 8.

Whatever the aim, it is a legendary effort.  (Mind you, the Credit Card bill for fuel will be scary!)

Good morning one and all.

A massive big thank-you to all the supporters, that supplied a happy smile, escorts (legal kind), phone calls, food, shower and bed to name a few :Blow.
More on that in RR.

Thanks for watching, I hope you didn't get too bored, we weren't.

We started with a dynamic ride plan, that was several months in the planning (by Karl)

Over 18,000 kms in 11 days.

All will be revealed in the ride report in a couple of weeks.

Till then, keep riding.  :thumb

To get the completed image, you just change the timeframe you're viewing.  I had it set to view 2 weeks so I could see the whole trip.

It was for the added distance required for an IBA certified ride.
It will be clearer when the RR is done  :thumb

Well done on this ride guys!!

Interestingly, this ride was shared across four different motorcycle forums, gaining an enormous following for the LDRiding community in Australia  :thumbs

Funnily enough, my son suggested I should have flown to Melbourne to meet the intrepid travellers after witnessing their forms in both Perth and Darwin......I decided against it on a purely financial basis....

Karl is off on another one (50CC) from Cooktown at 02:00 am Thursday morning. I wonder if it will be the same Spot?

He is a man on a mission.

Spoke to Karl yesterday and is in good spirits.

Has modified his ride plan from the last attempt a little, so fingers crossed.
