Only one???

Mate, I'd say PM Marty. He seems to make this trip on a regular basis.

Also, what would you take on a round trip to Halls Gap? Syndey isn't that much further.

hell yeah!!! i think i have a photo somewhere at home, but i had a "dodgy bros" gearlever break on me just inside the lower booth on the nasho,The past owner lost the broken bit of lever and instead forced in/WEDGED in a garden quality zinc self tapping bolt and put the rubber over the top of it.

Well i used 6 small sized zipties to put the lever on and i was able to make it all the way home. mind you i did the entire natio in third (didnt stop me still doing over 90km/h, love the tall gearing ;) and managed to split traffic enough that i only stopped about three times in the 20km on the way home.

definately gotta try and find that photo.

Might want some jocks and socks Andi, been known to be handy sometimes, wondering what you want maps for? Isn't there a GPS mounted to your bike still? :D
