I'm with Wom and saaz. For those on this forum that don't know skidoooo, he's done the CCCC150 (three time across Oz in less than 150 hours) and some impossible feats on little bikes. I think he's here for the RTEs, rather than the advice.
You'll enjoy the RTEs, Karl. :grin

Did the OzSTOC IBA SS1600k with him and had a ball. :grin
I've read some of your exploits and hope you've recovered well from the ride in NZ.

Thanks Gary. Ribs are much better, shoulder is still a bit lazy but working on it. Had a fairly long ride planned in a weeks time but I'm not fit enough, had to postpone it for another eight long weeks :(

Im not crook enough not to attend Nambucca johnnyYTED :eek It's one of my favourite RTE's.

At this stage I will be using the small bike :rofl I was in Adelaide two weeks ago (with Wombattle) and picked up the new GTR and it hurt a bit so we called it a short day after 800 kilometres, thought the small bike might fit me better |-i
