I had a rollover twice on sandpatches in the outback. I am okay, some brushes and blue stains, bit of blood, painful bones but that's all. Helmet scratched, trousers ripped. The damage on the bike isn't too serious. The rack of my jerrycans broke (has to be welded), wind screen broken, steer distorted. More worryful: I lost quite some bolts and the bolts of the rear brake disc came out. I heard a strange noise but couldn't locate it. In Marree I discovered that the brake disc was loose. Bolts are damaged. I have to replace them all. Hopefully the disc isn't damaged.
I learned to ride a bit slower. From William Creek to Marree, 200 km: 8 hours. I enjoyed the outback riding.
