I will keep that in mind. We will arrive in August, but importing the bike seems to take more time. It will only arrive end of August (From Chile), and as soon as the importation and registration is done, I'll be on the road. In order to avoid extreme weather (like heat) we might change the route, and even hang around some areas doing small temp jobs (Hearvast Trail?) etc.

We lived in Dubai for three years and know about 40-45degC. That is the time to take the Air Conditioned car and park the bike.

G'day to you both, My wife and I live South Brisbane Queensland so if your in the area keep in touch. We only live in a 2 bedroom unit, but have lockup garage plenty of tools if needed and a bed if needed! My toy is a KLE 500 and am wanting to get out soon. I can show you some nice sights around the area. Dirt or bitumen!
Cheers Mick

Hi Andy
Yes, my GS is going to be shipped from Valparaiso. (should be on the water one month from now)
Then we will fly to and back-pack a bit in New Zealand and arive in Melbourne mid Aug.
We will be staying with friends in Yare Valley just north of Melbourne untill we get the bike.

I´ll mail you closer to the time and we can meet up for a meal or something.

Cheers
Johan

Hey JC.... I have a garage and a couple of spare rooms you can take advantage of in Melbourne when you arrive.... drop me a note when you're around.
