    Dunno how I missed this the first time around but that's one hell of a paint job!

    (yeah yeah I grew up in the 70s ok, when bikes weren't just black and the better ones had sparkly shit in the paint)

    Awesome beast.

    Have to agree with everyone else, that colour is a ripper.

    Cheers

    Now in Broome. 'Goldie' going just brilliantly, a real mile muncher in true comfort. Just completed our biggest riding day of just over 800kms. Had a top time in Monkey Mia with the dolphins. Spent some time in Exmouth to tick off swimming with the whale & reef sharks!!

    Arrived yesterday in Darwin after a few days in Derby and a couple in the Bungle Bungles. Did a couple of 4wd bus tours and a heli flight over the Bungles & the dried out Ord River. Absolutly fantastice country. Will have to revist as some stage. Off to Kakadu NP then head down and east. Hope to ride up to Karumba on the Gulf then over to Atherton for a few days before the final legs heading south.

    Well finally home safe after 56 days and some 18,173kms. What a fantastic trip. I could turn around and go back counter clockwise.

    Whilst in Broome this reeeeally tall guy approached me when at the Info Centre.

    "Are you riding that Gold Roady?" he asked. It was Lofty from South Aus!! Great to meet up and have a quick chat.

    From Three Ways in the NT I rode the remainder of the trip on my own. My travelling companions Goldwing blew some diff seals!! wink

    It is expected back in Sydney some time in early August.

    The Road Glide performed as expected and a true joy to ride.

    Now has just over 29,000kms and just 28 weeks old!

    Time for another road trip!! 
    1 May and the commencement of the 'Up-the-Guts' adventure on Goldie!! From Sydney heading West then up through Woomera, Coober Pedy to Ulura etc. then up to Three Ways before heading East. Then down to Port Macquarie for the 2017 Ulysses AGM.
    I'll be trying to do a blog like the 'Round-the-Block' last year. more info here http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog/jeremy.nneylan/2/tpod.html 

    Goldie now has close to 38,000kms. Will be putting another set of tyres on before we leave.

    Maybe catch some other travellers around the traps.
