ok, my first attempt at posting some photographs,


The day after I picked her up from the shop, ready to head home.


In Grafton, New South Wales. Just covered about 400k's.




Naked in Sydney.


Heading through the Flinders Ranges, South Australia - Horrocks Pass.


Heading west, Penora, South Australia. Lots of furry spots on the road where little creatures met an untimely end.


Great Australian Bight, South Australia.




Eucla, Western Australia. Finally in my home state, just 1,400kms to go.


All distances shown on this marker are "As the crow flys".


Western Nullabor Plain, Western Australia. It gets lonely out here.


Finally, some company. About 1,000k's out of Perth.

Lots of bikes on the road heading both West and East. Great to see so many other bikers out enjoying the experience.
Total distance travelled since buying the bike, 5,618kms. All bar the last 300km was travelled in fine weather with some strong winds across the Hay Plain in New South Wales. The last day heading into Perth was pissing down rain, which made for a slow trip into the city. What would have been a 3 hour ride took over five due to the amount of trucks on the road, the rain, no electicity at some towns to drive fuel pumps.

A really good trip overall. The bike performed very well. Was pretty comfortable, after I removed the sheepskin seat cover. Will never use one of those things again.

Thanks to all for keeping me company on the trip. At every opportunity I got onto the net to check who had been following my journey.

Excellent attempt .
You made a great trip (yesterday, for me only 150 kms. trip around the sea ) and your photos gave me the will of come to your fascinating country.
Ciao

Francesco, all Ducati riders are welcome here.

I am sure you would have plenty of friends to call on should you decide to visit.

About nice fotos:

In that 1. foto: U have too much beer cans inside top box? That the hell is that Your saddle cover??? From some animal ????? Nice those Termis !!!! I wish plenty of nice miles/kms to Your 907IE... I would come there also, but unfortunately its just in other side of world... Not so bad idea to be there summertime and come here for summertime, so its only driving motorbikes then around year... no time to maitain them at all....

Btw, be carefull, that side bags dont take away Your clearcoating/paint from side fairings...

sheep skin seatcover - mmmh Thought one would need that only in cold areas.
this shows when it`s done the other way around
