spear Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hey guys. A couple of pix of a 2nd Gen in Central Australia - trailer and all. The owner/rider is Larry who has just joined us under the name Wedge. This is how you travel in Oz - in style!
Freebird Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Nice pictures and a big welcome to Larry. Now, where are the ROOS?
spear Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Hey Don, They're all dead on the side of the road. Never seen so much road-kill. Nobody drives or rides out here after sundown, unless you're pushing a 150ft road train. Those things cruise through the day and night at 130km/hr and stop for nothing. As I pulled in to Longreach in Queensland on my trip, I decided to count the roadkill in the last 15kms before town. Counted 58 carcasses - mostly roos.
Brake Pad Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I think he needs a sign on the back of that rig WIDE LOAD
chabicheka Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I think he needs a sign on the back of that rig WIDE LOAD you forgot to mention...police escorts! one in the front and one behind....
Sling Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Nice set up You might want to put one of those "Hopper Stopper's" on the front of your bike!!
whozleft Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 That does look like a huge trailer. Good thing he got the right bike to pull it with.
spear Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 Actually, the trailer is not that big. In the second shot the size is exaggerated by the fact that it's shot with a wide-angle (18mm) lens. The first shot is a truer perspective. All up I think Larry said it weighed 125kg (1/3 the dry weight of the bike).
