Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Aw! C’mon with you & Ron in my team I couldn’t possibly have a better pit crew, anyone beats me (yeah, yeah, I know there are lots that do ) Ron murders them ,while you go raid their biscuit stash!

 

There was more soil on Billy’s bike than a 6 furrow plough would have after a day in the field

 

You are a funny, funny man Jez, you had me choking on my beer with that, you spanner!

 

You think the bike was soiled, you should have seen my leathers after the crash!

 

You are so cruel.

I had to change my underpants as I laughed too hard.

 

We could smell em Billy but didn’t want to say owt

 

This time of year the daily average top temperature is between 32 and 36 , overnight lows vary between 12 and 22.

Today we are in Roebuck near Broome (30 klms). We did 292•7 klms on one tank to get here, took 17•7 litres to fill, that's a smidge off 16•5klm/litre !

This was a rest stop called "stanley" about 1/3 of the way.
The old !
And now new toilets, very basic long drop for the old , the new are organic composting !!

Met up with crispey on my return trip from Windsor at Blackbushe Airfield cafe - bit wet.

This bloke had the right idea!

 

@steve lovatt and I met up at blackbushe airfield. I think we’ll call it a Bellingham climatation run, you can do it to even if it’s sunny, stand in the shower with all your bike kit on

 

put some quilted grips on to match the seat

 

Whereabouts is the cafe?
Popped in there when going past a couple of weeks ago but couldn't see the cafe, mind you Blackbushe was jam packed as the car auctions were on, so I didn't look too hard.....

 

Main entrance to the airport off the A30 - go to the left-hand side of the car park and you'll see it in front of you.

 

Went there a few weeks ago. That plane was there then.

Probably got stranded after the last floods..:

The entrance to the cafe area is NOT the same as the car auction place.

 

If you turn left into the car park then stop at the fence the cafe is on the right if you hit a plane then you’ve overshot

 

That's where I went wrong I think

 

Well still in Roebuck , but leave today, saw Two of these pull in to the Camp Site last night after dark, got up early and caught a Pic.

Hell of a School bus !! They put a passenger body on the Truck Tray so there is plenty of ground clearance. They use them in the Pilbara !!! Can safely Cross Creek's when in flood and travel over the rough out back terrain.

Cheers Mick & Brenda capt

 

Well, left Roebuck at approx 9:00 am. 100 klms out of Broome is the Meat Works, didn't the Kites, Hawks & Eagles love that place !!
Now in Fitzroy Crossing 387 klms for the day. New video camera working well, as the previous Panasonic one died after 4 days into this trip.

Our place tonight, there are Wallabies here in the camp site, but none close enough to photograph from here. Might get pictures tomorrow.

Cheers Mick & Brenda capt

 

Weather forecast said it would be a dry sunny day in the North East and it's never stopped raining all day so she's staying in the garage.

 

Did some miles to scrub in new front tyre on the Tiger (Gone up a size on the front and swapped the bias ply for radial) and try out the bigger top box and a couple of other bits ready for going to the Isle of Man on Tuesday

 

Went to pick up my new tank bag, well pleased with it.....
