I was riding behind Jeff - those humps were great fun.

We only saw one 'roo. It was on a 'roo highway which crossed our track. As usual it didn't observe the 'Give Way' sign and nonchalantly hopped across the track between us. At least it wasn't texting.

Very enjoyable ride, Jeff.

It was indeed a great little adventure Charlie, I'd like to put a vid together of our ride. It takes quite a while to do unfortunately.
It was funny how we both had the same idea at the bottom of that disappearing, rutted track. :P

Perhaps we are growing up, Jeff.

You all know Jeff is an expert welder.

I think he's trying to prime all of us R100RS riders to take up adventure riding so he then has a market for sump guards, heavy duty pannier racks and repair services! :D

Jeff - you really ought to change your handle to ADVrider.
I'll bet those guys on that forum are jealous we have you and they don't.

Do you use stock RS bars on your bike? :shock:
