Hey Geoff

I loved your brother's ride report, it brought back memories of all the kms I did in the NT.  It makes me wonder if he could have done it quicker in the old days because in the 70's & 80's when I lived there, there was no speed limit on the open highway.  Fuel consumption then may have been his main concern along with having less time to see wandering stock.

Cheers

that's one hell of an effort.

Not only from Scott Thornton but also from a 35 year old bike.

What faith!!!!!!

Justified of course
