STrangers big FarRide and Aussie adventure.

STill had 1 1/2 litres going on my refill of 25.5 ltrs

You should have had 2.5 ltrs left, its a 28 litre tank. Most I have put in mine is 27.6L. You can squeeze a little more in if you keep allowing the fuel to settle a bit and filling to top of lip.

Glad you enjoyed looking at a Wing all day Johnny. I also enjoyed the ride. We were just so lucky with the rain or lack of and our timing when passing that Toll Road Train  .
Enjoy your trip home. The FR, Micheal, on the Beema who we passed several times today arrived at the motel where I am staying, booked a room and then asked about a bike shop in Port Augusta. He had been travelling a little slower than us because he has wires showing in the centre of the tread on his back tyre  .

Just as a comparison I filled the tank at Penong and put in 25.23 litres 406 km later at Border Village with mostly a head wind and on par with Johnny's 1100. Going back the other way I put in 20.6 litres at Penong with a tail wind.

I didn't see those, that worries me. That may have been the same mob I nearly hit in a car a month ago.

I didn't see them either.

When I was working in Kimba last year I used to see a few between there an Iron Knob. It appeared to be the same lot moving east following the road.

  STranger really got to STretch his legs going north from Port AuguSTa today. FirST Stop was Pimba where I got fuel, what a delay that was when I went in to Pay. A lady ahead of me who used the diesel pump paid for my unleaded and they wouldn't let me pay, they wanted me to pay her $76.00 diesel bill. well you can imagine my response to that.  they manage to find the lady before she left, over near all the touriST boards and get her to pay her bill and finally allow me to pay mine.  back on the road there was hardly any traffic and I swiftly rode along, practicing for the NT limits. I arrived in Coober Pedy around 4pm here time, and refueled then checked in at Radeka's underground.
Went for a walk and had an Emu pizza from Johns pizzeria. for dinner and after checking emails, 2 ph calls back home to let mum know I'm STill alive.. I'm off to bed soon and will be back on STranger around 8 am heading for Alice Springs and maybe a detour out to Uluru.
STing around lets me know its good to be alive.

Gday Paul, I'm certainly enjoying the great riding roads in the NT and the speed limits. Sorry to read your not well, that's ok I was thinking STranger and I might enjoy a little roo spotting  under the full moon around Alice before bed 
it is a little cool this evening after arriving all sweaty from the heat...
where's good for breakfast before my tomorrow ride? Good idea Gary.. 

[NTRebel]

Hi Johnny if you go to the Coles complex there's a place called Tasty Treats the bacon and egg sangers aren' bad if you let me know what time I can possibly catch up.

today I rode from S.A. Coober Pedy, to Northern Territory, Alice Springs.689 k's. I didn't venture out to Uluru because it would have meant a 1260k ride and I wouldn't have arrived here to my booked room at Alice Motor Inn, till very late. Had no problems with STranger today and was happy as a kid when we hit the 130kph speed limits, which STranger went over and above himself.  I think he forgot they reduced it from 160 about 6 months ago.  The STuart Hwy coming into Alice Springs has some amazing landscapes. I was in aww and really, really enjoying myself scooting along. Lucky for us I reminded STranger about the 130 limit approx. 40 k's from Alice, and not long after what did I pass, not 1 but 3 heading south out of town
I'm holding up well and definitely WONT need the Zarkie heated gear till I'm headed south from Brisbane in about 12 days.
Tomorrow I'll be  heading further north towards Darwin. Not going to do the 1600 odd k's in one hit, will overnight somewhere around halfway. someone mentioned the Devils Marbles nr Tennant Creek,, will google map it and maybe actually do some sightseeing..
