Ok so im doing the tourismo 2008.

My intentions are to tow my bike to starting point and tow back to syd. I am in the process of making a 6 bike trailer. As you all know I have a large tow vehicle (not like supers festering toe ) but a F250 that seats a very comfy 5, so anyone that is interested in the idea let it be known. I have worked on the fuel costs and it will be aprox $1000 return trip 2800km  ,So I can carry 8 bikes total 6 on the trailer , 2 on the back of the ute and 5 passengers on the rig so return trip would be say aprox $125 per bike return any thing less is a bonus anything more its still cheep. The other option is to sent it by transport $430 return plus your air fair.

Aprox 15 hours driving to Adelaide and some good times along the way not to mention the fun on the tourismo.
Would like to depart from my shop by about 4 am for an early start to arrive in Adelaide by aprox  7 or 8 pm

so far the following are in.

Bike and pasenger.

1)Dock
2)Matty(shotgun)
3)Rusty
4)Andy
5)

Bikes Only

1)
2)
3)

Yeah you know I'm up for that.....
Might have to be that and not the Snow though.
Being that we'll be in the snow later in the year.

So yeah, count me in if your looking for people to fill spots and share diesel costs.

Hey Doc,

Please reserve a spot for my beast - I am keen to get my bike there and am happy to pay if that helps drink Vino! coffee whatever you fancy waytogo

I can assist with driving passenger (ie: talking duties one way but don't have the available time for both ways.

Is this ok or am I being Presumptuous?

Thanks,

Matty I think we should lobby NFI to commission you as an official photographer along with a few assistants - nothing like a "business trip" on the monster(s). They pay you for your work, and pay for all of our travel and tourismo costs - now I could start to convince the missus  Evil

We'll have a little Tourismo in Sydney when they scoot off to Adelaide, Nick.

How does that sound?
