The start at Newcastle on the east coast about 330am.




Cobar about 675km from home in the middle of New South Wales





Sundown at the Horrocks Pass South Australia Davo Jones memorial (located about 10metres behind the bike on the fenceline)

I didn't know there was one at Madura Pass - I've seen no mention previously.  If so, precisely where?  I've travelled that road lots.

Here's the Madura Pass Davo location the rock is in the red circle:



Here's the view and some location pics:

......... If you plan on riding after dark your first priority will be some additional lighting............

I'll second that.






Congrats on the purchase Dano90. :152:

Zombie thread Alert!!!

So a lot has happened since my initial post. I sold the Aprilia and went for a few months without a bike. I had been looking at custom bikes and the missus bought me a vTX1300s for my 50th Birthday :152:

I love the bike and riding it most of the time, but:

Its long and heavy and it doesn't instill confidence especially in the wet
I want to do my IAM (tried a few years ago but was let down by the observer too many times)
I have been let down too many times by trains going to work so fancy something i can jump on, laptop in panniers, and carve through traffic (plus the VTX isn't ULEZ compliant)
I can't get tyres for the VTX! It was big inthe US market but in the UK the front tyre is a bit of a weird size and i ended up importing the last from Germany.

So i'm looking at a 1050 (Would love a sport but pennies wont stretch that far) and have seen a 2009 bike with a little over 20k on the clock within budget (as soon as I sell the VTX).

One question: are there different types of clocks for different years and when did they change? This is a 2009 bike with the idiot lights on the tacho and not on the left hand side of the clocks - is that normal and is this likely to be one of the years which suffer creacked pistons?
