So are you and Peta going to make it to this years Rally?
Or is that pesky work going to get in the way.
Be great to catch up.
Darran

Darran, Peta and I are booked into the Courthouse Hotel for Friday and Saturday nights.

Trailering down as Peta will be getting over an operation.
I have room for another bike and a couple of bodies in the car if anyone from up this way should need it.

Cheers

 :flag_of_truce: Howdy All. If anyone is still wanting a double at the Ningara Motel opposite the venue - if you are quick, you might get our room. Wasn't sure if we'd make it - but booked the room regardless a while back, hoping... It hasn't turned out the way we wanted. One upside is I have the Friday and Tuesday as days off work...yay! Sounds sad I know, sitting here typing on the keyboard, but I'm going to miss you lot - big time. Hope the event is as brilliant as usual and everyone stays safe!  :drinks:

Well work has conspired against me again..... I will be in WA somewhere around Kalgoorlie on rally weekend.

If anyone needs accommodation I have a room booked at the Courthouse Hotel for the Friday and Saturday nights which I will keep live for a few more days.
Just let me know so I can let the owners know of the change.

Have a great time guys..... I will miss everyone.

Cheers

Getting closer. I noticed on Facebook, there are quite a few of us doing last minute jobs on the bikes, myself included. Near heart attack moment, but that's another story. Getting real keen to get going.

Sorry I missed a few but
I just took the bike for a run around the block on the weekend to see if all was right to go on Thursday,
even gave it a run in a Thunderstorm and strong winds then I added fallen trees on country roads and very dark conditions (at least the Lightning was lighting up the roads) to make sure I was Good to go also.

1089k's all up was a good run around the block
