Just so that this is clear - My S4RS can get over 200k's per tank when doing country riding so I can keep up with you lot!!!! :bang (+I can put on a 38 tooth rear and 15 front and get even better millage).
Then if I had time available (ie 3 weeks) I would ride there and back but that is about a 4.5-5,000k trip and I just don't have the time to do this. The great ride would be to ride down through the Snowy's then over Hotham (great fun!) and down through Gippsland and on to Philip Island before getting to Melb. Stay a couple of night's at Spider's place (enjoy some real coffee - short macchiato at Brunetti in Carlton, just off Lygon street - Oh and some Italian cakes). Then I would head done the Great Ocean Rd stopping in West Geelong - (Botticcelli Cafe for some great food). Then I would haul ass along the rd and go to Port Fairy for a night before heading into SA via the best wine region in the world - The Coonawarra! :wine
But hey, I'm off to Laguna Seca MotoGP on a 10 day ride from LV to Laguna via Sequoia and Death valley on an S4RS and then back via Yosemitie so I just don't have the available credits with the wife and kids to spend another 3 weeks in the saddle - So bike must go via truck and I will take a week or so off to do the Turismo! (Just thought I would rub that little one in!)
So you can take that little bit of concrete and, well you know..... dr::
C U all there in Melb or SA!
