Hope to see you there. Not to mention, I owe you a lunch/dinner and probably a bevvy too. :beer

3 days ride, Paringa, Wudinna, Border Village, appx 700 k days.
Similar trip for me, day 1 Canberra to Mildura = 813, Wudinna = 791, BV = 689. Health might dictate another day to do it in. Dallas may be riding with me.

I'm looking to ride across to Perth before this and staying at BV on the way back.
On the Wing or Kawasaki?
There will be a few of us at Norseman on the Thursday night on the way to the Border.
We will be staying here http://www.therailwaynorseman.com.au/ (http://www.therailwaynorseman.com.au/)
Let us know if you are coming to Perth.

I have a motel room with 3 beds, one rider has had to withdraw, so now looking for some one to take over that spot.
I’m leaving from Canberra on Tuesday, 30/07/2024 morning if anyone wants to meet up anywhere along the way.
Cheers

I have fitted one of the early Henry Final Drives ( https://henrysfinaldrive.com/ ) and that along with a taller car tyre on the rear has dropped the revs by about 500 rpm to 2,500 rpm at 110kph.
Before the changes when riding with my mate, Steve, from Victor Harbor on his Indian I would always use about a litre more petrol than him and now I use about a litre less.
I am trying to convince Henry to make one for the ST1300. Hope to catch up with him in LA at Christmas so will twist his arm.
