RTE done and dusted, with Stinky Pete, Chris & Langers & Julie and myself attending.

Langers & Julie on Mark's new V-Strom, this being the closest vehicle to an ST.

Great night around Stinky Pete's fire pit.

No flag, so no photos.

We all had a wonderful gathering.   Chris and I took the carvan, Shillas was in his Camp Trailer, and we each spent time exploring some of the Flinders Ranges National Park.  It's a beautiful and ancient landscape.   Langers and Julie rolled up on Saturday arvo on the V-Strom.

We gathered at around 4.00pm at one of the Carvan Park BBQ shelters for drinks and nibbles, and didn't move for the rest of the evening.   As expected there were stories told, journeys recounted and the  worlds problems solved.   No one had a camera and we were too settled to bother finding one, but as Shillas has said, it was a memorable RTE.

Richo, great weekend and possibly a better weekend than this one weather wise.

Wouldn't have been fun on an ST or even Langers v-STrom.



Photo nicked from the web

But maybe given a couple of weeks, the wildflowers will give it a totally different perspective.

 :think1 Might even head back up  :grin

I have done many things in my life that, at the time, looked like fun but sadly weren't, and, resulted in either pain or embarrassment or both. I can however say, attempting to cross a flooded creek on a motorcycle isn't one such occasion. Then again, I suppose it depends on what is on the other side ......

2 bits of good news - - the ST's fork seals seem to be sealing again following running a piece of plastic around to clean them, so Scarlett will be heading out again. Secondly, the Wallaroo/Lucky Bay ferry has arrived in Adelaide from Venezuela so the service should be up and running within the month so a tour of lower EP is on the cards.
