Yes, i'm afraid i need another purging of the emotions to rid myself of the everyday build up of crap which has accumulated over time. I will be leaving on the 3rd of October 2014 riding to Melbourne via Mildura, Horsham and Ballarat. Might even be a Bacchus Marsh drop in too. (friends and rallies)
My technical man ,Tony has helped me set up the Blog with the Transponder click button for you guys i'm visiting so you can make sure your home with the kettle on. Also for those of you who like to live the experience through the computer.
Another huge excuse i'm using for this ride is that my good friends, Shane and Ange and there two small ones, have just moved to Moonee Ponds (Vic) and invited me over to stay with them and go to the Melbourne Cup Races. Something that i haven't done before so why not. Princess Joy will be flying in around the 2nd of Nov and staying at a Palace somewhere so i will join her then.
Now without getting into too much information for you guys to soak up i will let you go and drop you a line closer to the starting time. Oh, before i go, this is not a blog that you have to participate in, merely
a "diary with benefits"but feel free if you like too but you have to sign up to a google account to make a comment. Whoops , just lost 90% of my followers.

Operation Melbourne Cup joins those other memorable operations Operation Sovereign Borders, Operation Bring Them Home and our latest humanitarian operation which involves Super Hornet jet fighters flying over Iraq which has the benefit of keeping us on a war footing without being in danger. Does this mean that you won't actually be talking about any aspects of your ride because you don't discuss operational matters?
ReplyDeleteNo not entirely, i can say that if i happen to come across any foreigners trying to cross into West Aust on bikes i will force them to turn around ,giving them one litre of water and two slicers of bread to cross the nullabor back again. It's all just another Operation i'm working on stopping the bastards ,Operation Stop The Bikes.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Trieste Italy at the moment but your 'Spot" shows you at 30 Sackville, if you don't get that sorted you could be in Mildura and the tracker shows you in Horsham. Love your Work

ReplyDeleteJust a lazy 3600kms like a lazy Sunday afternoon drive in the country.
Some piccies of Joy on race day when you get there pleeeeeez........
Shite I must be in the ten percent.
ReplyDeleteFinally figured how to get a Blogspot name- it didn't like my Google account login.
ReplyDeleteThe resemblance to Shrek is amazing....bet you'll look nothing like him at the other end of the ride. But, hey, you deserve a big win on the Cup when you get there son.
I am not sure I can cope with bro undertaking another long distant ride but I will give it a try.....
ReplyDeleteGrant, just a drop in the ocean compared to your last "around the paddock" blog.
ReplyDeleteI take my hat off to you for your sheer determination.
Have a safe and enjoyable (is that possible ??) bike journey from Perth to Melbourne.
Good luck and i hope you back a winner in the day too.
Bit of a gap going through Boorabbin National Park, hope you weren't stuck on a bulbar of a road train.
ReplyDeleteLow batteries buddy in the equipment but now sorted. Also Ian try and coment on the latest blog or are you only up to the first day so far.lol
