Day one was eventful, two guys crashed. A brand new Multistrada written off and rider hospitalised with injuries worsening by the hour. Second one down was a jap cruiser with scuffs and grazes that ain't going to buff out. Riders ok although a bit sore. Ended up with Richard leading the pack which was a good move. Overnighting in a real swanky establishment in Launceston. Off to explore the west coast tomorrow ..then we,ll be parting company of the WogsonWheels and heading down South. Tassie is truly motorcycling nirvana.

Sorry to hear a couple of riders have gravel rash of varying degrees. Roads here in Tassie are a combination of heaven & hell. Hoped to catch up with the mob but had to work all day on site & Sunday as well (make hay when sun shines!!) so have a good fang. If you get deep South give us a call (Ponters has my number) would love to chew the fat & swap war stories.

Would love to see some pic of bikes and landscape features if you have time..Some of us Yanks do not have a clue as to how your country looks..

I have watched a lot of TV showing Down under ......But never seen a palm tree

Will do my best. If not, there's a few cameras on some of the bikes and there should be some good shots and footage in due course.

Looks like you guys are having a good time. Try not to bend anymore bikes. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the boys that went down.

Yes there's more to Australia than gum trees. Any where north of Rockhampton you can get hit on the head by a coconut. There was a time back in the late 80's to early 90's everyone in QLD had to have palm trees in there yard or planted in a line each side of there driveway. Used to be palm tree farms everywhere not very many left now most people seem to be over palm trees.
