i reckon we should sponser a rider to do this ..Dan...!lol

[ashcook]

i had a couple of customers who did it one year a few years back. they weren't the most experienced riders either. they said it was great but I think it was almost half of the riders didn't finish the ride with broken bones. They said that year the bull dust was extremely bad and very deep, not postie terrain. Still they had a ball and I'm pretty sure the postie is yours once you finished.
like you guys, my mate and I have been saying we should do it for years now

[JackTar]

Can't believe he did it with a chick my wife would have told me to wake up to myself.

[-Dex-]

I would love to do it. Would be an absolute blast I reckon.

[Lucas]

My wife would be lovin something like that.

[Shadowzone]

She is only with them for the first part I'm pretty sure. The second part of the trip is the funniest.

Only cause I actually know Glen and am howling I didn't know they were doing the run. (My knee reco was the monday before they went anyway)
Still would be a blast. Maybe we should Fighter us up some Posties and do a run somewhere?

A bloke I worked with about 10 years ago did bris to top end with about 6 mates on CT110's. He said it took ages but was heaps of fun.

Another bloke I know did 400km of coast to the tip of cape york with 9 mates on quads, they carried zodiacs to cross the rivers with.
