AUSTRALIA 2006
Motorcycle: Ducati ST2
Where: Bunbury, WA to Zeehan, TAS
When, how long and how far: January 2006, approx. ten days and 4400km
Comments: First interstate trip on the 2 year old ST2. TTMS was working in Tasmania on a fly in / out, and I decided to ride in for the second stint, so I could use the Ducati after work on the west coast’s crazy roads, and also go in the Ducati Turismo. Sent the bike back to WA from Melbourne by truck and flew home. Carried a swag etc. on the bike.
