Cheers Mark, already been looking at a few interesting stories but not looked at that site... quite sure the TDM is up to it really, but thats all dependent on route choice...
Not much to tell Chris at the mo,, wanted to do this for awhile now as not seen big sis for 32 years, she's in Adelaide.. not sure it will be possible even, well not for a while yet anyway !!!
Love thumpers though, had an XT 500 for ever.. reckon the TDM would do the trip easy....ish.

One that REALLY bugs me is the annoying little yellow 'shift' light when you're apparently driving at too high rpm to road speed!
I'll decide when I want to change gear Mr Vauxhall!!!!
