Can I Come To OZ??? Can I Bring Toto?

1olbull said:

I am SERIOUSLY considering a fly to OZ and at least three weeks riding Brisbane - Melbourne - Adelaide and parts in between.
Suggestions welcome . . .


My biggest concern is a motor to ride and hotels.
Any of youse willing to RENT me a Rocket? (RENT not free - I have my pride and will happily mooch all the hots & flops I can)

What are the best month(s) to come ride?
Perhaps we could have sort of a upside-down rolling RDU soiree?
I could meet & hook up with M8s along the way for a ride . . . or whatever . . .

Around those dates mate everyone will tell you Feb or March although those months can be a bit wet, We got a bed for ya in Brisbane (got a rocket ya can use) mate and can hook you up with some overnighters on ya way down to melbourne if ya start this way, either way can hook you up with people mate, some to give ya a bed and or a ride through the best spots where they are, I have done over 750,000 klms over the last 12 or so years between here and melbourne I am never dissapointed! Always find a new way to go too, I make sure I never miss riding across the snowy mountains though, it is a million dollar trip always refreshing!

I hear that @Mittzy has a few rockets in his garage. But he has said that he may be hopping across to New Zealand in Jan / Feb for the Bert Munro Challenge.

Drop into Auckland airport on your way through Steve, that's only about an hour North of where I am.
Could come and meet you.
