That's a great read and some great photos.. I blame Andrew2 also because after reading his ride report, I've got the bug to go off-bitumen-ing and get my Buell out into the bush. If this weather holds up, and it looks like it should, I'll be heading out to the Thomson National park for a few hundred km of dirt Wednesday/Thursday this week and probably camp in Aberfeldy area. Unfortunately the Buell only has a 16.7 litre tank which has a reasonable range of about 300km, but needs high octane so there'll be a detour back into civilisation at some stage to fill 'er up with the good stuff about a 80km return trip from Rawson-Tyers-Walhalla. Might throw a bottle of octane boost in my bag too just in case I venture too far away from PULP.
The first dirt road ride I did on this bike after I bought it was to Woods Point and back, and I remember what the quality of the road there was like, so if that was as bad as the roads get I'm pretty sure I'll get on quite well... I have been a bit hesitant about going out by myself on unknown forest roads but I asked the question in ADVrider and I get the feeling the roads will be in better condition than I expect... plus I've had a few months more dirt road riding experience now.
