The asphalt attraction seems to be intensifying, should be some movement shortly.
A very wise person once said "The shortest distance between two points ..." etc. (Obviously, that person never met Pete.)

Making good time, now more than halfway to Port Hedland before midday, and I guess that Chris is well on the way home.
Currently 19 in Hedland with a top of 35 degrees later.

Current temp at Hedland is 33 degrees, Pete should arrive in around 30 minutes or less.

At Port Hedland after another hot days ride. on what must be some of the most isolated highways in Australia. Between Broome and here thereare just two dusty roadhouses. I am not a happy camper and am alarmed at how quickly my PR4s are wearing out. They have less tha10,000km on them and the rear will not make Perth.
The only bike dealer within range is in Karratha, which of course is not open until Monday. It may be that I do a short run to Karratha tomorrow and see what I can sort out first thing on Monday.

How strange, I replaced a PR4 today, with over 20000Ks. What pressure were you running??

I am wondering if the heat has affected them? My last set of PR4's lasted 22K km before I changed them.

I use 38psi front and 42psi rear, which is the recommended pressures for the Beemer. The last two sets on the Beemer gave me 14,000 which is still not brilliant..

Use Malcolm’s trick - wrap a few layers of duct tape around the tyre to get you out of trouble.

While at Karratha, it might be well worthwhile to ride 20km to Dampier for photos of the Red Dog Memorial.

That 'short run to Karratha' is a 230km ride.

Many years ago when working in that area, we referred to the islands near Dampier as 'those f-n islands'
Pete is now heading back towards Karratha.

I am afraid not Kev. Best case scenario is that I get new rubber tomorrow arvo. Oh Well! That gives me a good chance to explore Karratha and Dampier.
