After the rally I took off for Roxby Downs to visit one of my daughters and her family.
Did a stop at Cobar and Broken Hill, there was so much road kill I was not going to travel at night, one point traffic had slowed because a roo had just been hit and was still alive so the police had to be called to come and put it down.
Ride was quite good, no rain, nice weather just a tiny bit cold.
New mod with the XS850 diff was fantastic, still need to work out the fuel usage. Speedo cable broke :-(
Daughter showed me the sites of Roxby, so that took 5 minutes rest of the time was coffee and driving out of town to Andamooka an old opal mining town.
Took off from Roxby headed for Port Augusta, on the way got pinged in the middle of nowhere doing 119 in 110 zone $226 (166 fine, 60 victims of crime levy?
) He could have got me for more....
Port Augusta got cable inner kit they crimped it their way but it only lasted 150ks. Them on to Kym's were he and his brother showed me around the good bits of Adelaide (thanks Kym and Gary)
Kym wanted something to do so head cover off, new gasket, hmmm while it's off he said we should check the shims.
All ok but he wanted tighter tolerances on 3 of them.
Ride back was good too but starting to get a bit cooler, had a couple of stops at night, Murrayville and Wagga Wagga, then home.
Bike of course went well all the way except for the speedo cable.
Will report on fuel consumption when I get all the receipts together, but that 750/850 diff mod is a game changer.
Forgot to mention about 4000ks
