Set off at 0600 in the dark. Bit of a risk with the Roos but wanted to get across the Nullibor in one push if possible. Extremely tiring 14hr day. Rode in all sorts of weather. Literally hundreds of dead Roos on the road ..... so that's why Mrs Macs Road Kill pies are so popular. Robin took an alternative route but still caught up with the Transalps by the WA boarder. Shortly after crossing the boarder Robin was out in front again on the Street Bob when his exhaust fell off. Not noticing any difference in noise Robin rode on none the wiser while Henk risked life and limb kicking it into the path of an oncoming road train.
Been on some big long straights today. One of them 164km long. Had 7 fuel stops across the Nullibour. Henk ran out of fuel and Mikes bike ran out just as he was rolling into the servo. Both now carrying extra fuel.

Saw a couple of Dingos. Henk then made Mike zip his tent up at night and tie his leg to the bike in case the Dingo tried to carry baby Mike off in the night. Saw some fresh Camel footprints. Mike got down and felt the prints with the back of his hand (like they do in the Westerns) and said that they must have passed through a couple of hours ago. Eagles scavenging on road kill are another hazard to look out for. These Eagles bring back vivid memories of flying Turkeys crashing into Henks helmet on Turitea road Otorohanga NZ and the resulting crash and Triumph Trophy being written off.
Speaking of "offs" Mike had an off today.................no wounds though as he wasn't even moving. Bike fell on top of Mike as he scoffed his 3rd Road Kill pie for the day.
Until now flies haven't been too bad. But now a rest stop is a compulsory helmet on job. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to jam a Mrs M's Road Kill pie through a visor without swallowing a swarm of flies too.
