Almost done




It's hard to believe that I have been on the road for close to three months. I road about 450 km today and tonight I am staying in Mackay, my Gps tells me that I have 687 Km to travel and will most likely do that in one day. It seems like a lot of riding to do in one day however I have ridden 15735 km since I left home on the 12Th of Feb.

It has been the greatest adventure for me and apart from a few minor problems with service issues it has been very enjoyable. If you are thinking of doing a similar trip all I can say is go for it.

In regards to Can-Am I am sure their service will improve, the Spyder is a safe and so far reliable machine and Rotax engines can handle the Australian climate, for me however I think I prefer a traditional Motor bike, having said that the Spyder was certainly a lot of fun to ride, if I was earning better money I would most likely keep the Spyder and buy a motorbike as well, best of both worlds.

I plan to do the Nullabour and over to Perth as my next adventure hopefully in the not to distant future.
Well for those of you that have been following my journey thank you and if you want keep in contact via my email steve.dove59@gmail.com if you are ever up in Queensland drop me a line and we will go for a ride.

Check this blog I will be doing weekend rides and bushwalks more often now I have rediscovered the joys of camping and hiking.

Stay safe, God Bless
