Question for West Australians...

Or anyone else who's done it,
Perth to Kalgoorlie seems to be about 600km, Would that be a good day's ride
on a decent big tourer ?
Steve.

 

dude there is barely a bend in the road once ur over the hills. i rekon it
wouldnt take long prolly less than half a day. Just watch out for the "Fuzz"

OR if you are Clare, do it in 3 days, travelling slowly, stopping off
at lots of places to have a look, and generally enjoy yourself.

Ok, a V50 isn't a "decent big tourer", but it's all in what you are
touring for

kalgoorlie its self is a great place , if it was where southern cross is, it

Shame on nature for being so inconsiderate as to put all that gold so
far out! If only the open-cut mines and the slag heaps were 200 km
closer to Perth!

That road will take you through York I think? Check out the motor museum in
town. http://www.yorkwa.com.au/Motor.Museum/

Do they still have the road racing around the streets of York ?

"Round the houses" racing is making a comeback in WA. Happening in
Northam this year as well as regularly in York and Dowerin.

Block off the main st, chuck a couple of bales on the corner by the
deli, get out your lovingly restored irreplaceable 1940's to 1970's
cars and go racing.

Best in Australia I reckon, click on "some of the cars", there's a link to a
car called a "Clement", I can just see CD driving that!

the same thing. ;-)

Some people just get bored easily. I've not found it boring in a dozen
trips.

Yep. It's a tourer!

Nono, it's a misspelling of In Clem Ente, which is German for Clem
having consumed a duck.
