By the way, it's been flat out at Joe's for the last 2 weeks fitting tyres and selling (approved) helmets and other gear to the local Rebels. They all left on Thursday, about 70 or so, to ride to Perth for the national Rebels get together. They were planning 1,000km days and were meeting up with other chapters at Port Augusta and then riding over together.

Be interesting to see how they go. I'm sure more than a few of them had no idea what they were in for. Those that did were buying practical stuff, even full face helmets and rain gear. But some were buying undersized open faces so they could shave the liner down. 8,000km in an open face, hanging onto ape hangers!
Have to say that appart from a couple of blokes who thought they were sh1t hot, they were a decent bunch of guys. Meeting them at a bike shop probably helped.
