so far ! at the moment, im in Australia , next few days i will be riding a ktm 530 on a 80 km beach and camping, just to get a taste of sand !!!lol.
i have rode in sand with the British army 350 Armstrong .
im not sure what to expect, except for riding stud up, arse to the back,brain turned off !! and give it hell !! :)
so far i have learnt NOT to underestimate water consumption in heat. just 1 hr in 30 d and walking through the sand is hard work ! and nothing in the uk can prepare you for it !.

WELL!! Im not sure what happened lol i came here for a month, Queensland !  was going back to uk to start the rtw trip ?   5 years later still here lol.  now settled in Queensland Rockhampton,  its a bit crap here, hervey bay is much better :)  it has a nice beach lol.

what im thinking now is ,to help people who come to oz,  iv learnt a lot .  im a mobile mechanic . and have worked on bikes ,buying and selling for a very long time. Im building a few bikes at the moment, and working on long range tanks, in oz you need fuel big time. 

Im now looking at a ktm 450 ,and adapting it for long range on and off road riding. if i can help people with info i will, and as i travel around oz, i will try to post what its like and how it works.  back soon
