    Hi Guys,

                 Been looking at this site for a while now.

    Great site, lots of good and helpful info.

    I live in a mining town called Gove, Its situated in north east arnhem land in the Northern Territory. Population is approx 4500, we have 24k of bitumen road and that's it. There are approximately 40 Harley's in town, not a bad ratio for an adult population of around 2500.

    My new 09 dyna Fat bob shows up from Darwin via barge Monday   Have had it on order since Feb this year.

    It's a Black Denim, with Vance and Hines black side shots, SE pro super tuner, SE Breather and sissy bar. Man I've had some sleepless nights since i got the call from the dealer last week saying when do you want to pick her up. Wasn't expecting her to late october. How good is that !!! It works out really well, I work 4 on 4 off, and Monday is the start of my 4 days off, Gonna be doing some trips up and down that 24k of road, I can tell you.

    Oh well nice meeting you all, and everyone stay safe.

    Regards Leethal

    Welcome Leethal, stuff the 24K's of blacktop. The Fatbobs come standard with trail bike tyres,,, so just ride it in the dirt.

    G,day Leethal, not a bad bit of country up there. Too bad theres not much tarmac though, but the fishin is good. I skippered a mackeral boat up that way bac in 92, the best macca fishing ive ever seen at the tip of the wessels. Enjoy the Fat Bob mate they are are brilliant ride, mine is the same as yours, flat black.

    Hey kiwidave,
    700k of gravel road with 2 river crossings to either Kathrine to the north or mataranka to the south.
    The road is impassable during the Wet season from approximately Dec - May.
    Can get to Kathrine in Approximately 8hrs depending on how you drive.

    Cheers Leethal
