     Hey all. I'm about to ride my bike back to the Goldy from Perth next week. Anyone got any good spots to stop along the Nullabor. Anything I should definitely take tool-wise. Anyting good or bad to add. I'd appreciate anyting to help a brother out. Cheers, Quirky

    Harley roadside assist cover , the one you get with a new bike for the first 2 years

    You can get it for a used bike , I got it for my US import bike no worries

    If you get a rear wheel puncture out there yer fucked mate especially on a spoke wheeled bike

    Make sure you will make the planned distance with the tyres you have on, once down they turn to shit pretty

    quick so one of the last things you need is to be sitting around in some small town waiting on a tyre to turn up.

    Made the run from Sydney to Perth, on the way back we put the bikes on the train from Perth to Adelaide as we didnt want to do it both ways. We then spent 3 boring days on the train, I will never do that trip again on a train, so glad to get off the train. 

    Tryes are one of the most important things they do tend to wear very quick. Also you will probably have to fuel up at every garage, most bikes dont have  a big enough full tank to do every second fuel stop.

    While you out on the Nullabor you will know everyone on the road by the end of the trip, good luck and have a fun time. Not much out there but it good to be able to tick that box and say you have done the longhaul :-)

    Do not ride at night
