Good luck with the bike, I will be there for a day trip Tuesday. Conditions look to be the best they have had for a long time.

Take plenty of everything especially drinking water....it's a long way from the local Aldi and it's bloody hot and dry. Don't forget something to read during the numerous down times. I went in 06 and enjoyed myself but I can't see myself going back in a hurry. Oh yeah....a HAT, the bigger the better + plus plenty of +30 sunscreen.

Aeroguard, zinc for your lips and sunnies (like being at the snow). If you don't want it completely rusted up don't take it there. Have fun and give us a report, everyone usualy meets at Whyalla.
