Just got in myself. Great to meet up with Turtle and Ozrider. We followed Oz's centreline while on the road, well done!  Wish we had the NTs 'speed limits' as it would have made the trip quicker or able to go further in the same time.  Clocked up near 5000kms taking the touristy route of Canberra-Renmark-Ceduna-Border Village-Streaky Bay-Broken Hill-Nyngan-Canberra.  Only one 100km day, all the rest only a few 800+days and some lazy 600km days.  Tyres are a bit flat in the middle.

That's not a good look, unless they wanted to look at a great bike, what did they get you for Gavo? Bad luck mate :blk13

9 kms over 75 bucks zero points

seemed to be interested in the HIDs but that must have been a ploy to keep me subdued.

Sounds like a bit of revenue raising. What sort of tolerance do they usually show ie 5kph over or less?  We were doing 120kph most times in 110kph zones and barely raised any interest out in the more remote areas (SA and NSW).

Normally 15K+, they may have been told of the run and to use zero tolerance. Or they had a slow week and needed the stats... :|||| :||||
