Hi Bill,
If you need Airport pickup and drop off to Traralgon please let me know.
Cheers.

That's mighty generous of you, mate.  I'll be in touch.

You guys are above and beyond...

I'll see how I go.  I can't get there this week, and besides, he's fitting new tyres and getting the RWC.  I'm looking at week of 13th.  Just need the Mexicans to get their weather organised.  It's pretty pathetic all down the east coast at present.

The weather isn't cooperating with this exercise, so I'm biting the icicle and going to Melbourne Tuesday morning and going by train to Traralgon to pick up the bike.
It will be wet, but I want the bike for the IBA Parkes ride.  The little V-Strom did the Moree FarRide very capably, but I want the ST for this bigger ride.
Thanks again to Denis for assessing the bike and the other offers of help.
The forecast indicates the weather will improve the further north I travel from Traralgon, especially getting up onto the Newell Highway.  I'll be packing the thermals, heated vest, gloves etc (after they dry from today's deluge).

enjoy your ride back Bill.  I will be interested in any information you have regarding the Newell on the way back as I am using that for Parkes.

Thanks for that, mate.
I'm in Mansfield overnighting.  Just got too cold in the rain at 8o.
I don't have a target for tomorrow, but do want to be home as early as possible Thursday.
Bike seems to be the goods.  There's a glitch in the side-stand switch because you can't start it with the side-stand up in gear with the clutch in.
Or is that the clutch switch?  Anyway, it scared me at my first stop until I put it in neutral to achieve a start.
No quote from the library today because I don't have the latest extracts with me on the lappy.    >:()

Good to hear from you Bill
Take care and enjoy your new toy....... I envy your trip home getting acquainted with Ruby IIsday.
I look back fondly on those couple of days back in October and the whole experience bringing my 2nd ST home from Tamworth.........Cheers Brian

Ruby IIsday.

Very clever.  I might even pinch it!  Maybe "Ruby 2sday".

Settled-in for the night in Narrabri.  Chickened out of continuing in the dark without good auxiliary lights.
Had a good run- no rain today but flooded paddocks everywhere and water over the road in a few places.
Gave the heated vest and gloves a workout- warmest I was was 13 degrees.

Home at 1:15.  Just starting to catch up with everything.
More details later, but it's happy days in the garage with Strom pleased to have a mate to show off his local knowledge.
