does Karratha qualify as a far ride?

Depends on your definition of a far ride !! 

If you are referring to a FarRide, only if they decide to have one there. But it is also almost the required distance for an IBA ride ( which can be done any time )

I dunno, an overniter to Karratha or Exmouth sounds good!

We did a couple of Karratha to Kwinana and return rides during my time over there. The last 600kms between Carnarvon and Karratha never seemed to end.

You better make that 700km from Karratha as I find the 100km before Carnarvon just as bad.
Leaving Busselton this Thursday, first stop Vic Park for tyres, second stop bike show Friday.
Next morning leave Perth around 3am making Geraldton for breakfast hmmmm scrambled eggs on toast, lunch Carnarvon and finally home tea at the pub.
I always done a non stopper 1300km trip home after picking up my new ride, I fine it's the best way of getting to know each other.

Good thing you're a FarRider at heart Dave.  You've chosen the perfect bike for the job.  There are others that will tow, and some are comfortable and a few have decent weather protection, but none have the range of the ST.  Welcome to the fraternity.
