However what is everyone's opinion on having a separate forum just for FarRiders ?
I would tend to keep the private part here for contact details but over time who knows.

I have had one sitting to the side for a while now, register if you like just in case. However I am after imput from members. It's obvious that FarRiders is going to grow. Maybe this is something we should do now before that happens.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Aussiedav) http://gtr1000.yuku.com/topic/3572 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 11:33:04 GMT <![CDATA[ FarRiders Patches ]]> http://gtr1000.yuku.com/topic/3543/t/FarRiders-Patches.html These look great and are good quality.

the plan is to ride from canberra to mildura and back. but im not sure what time to start.

Up until recently (about a week ago), I thought I was one of a very small minority who thrived on 1000 km days. It appears that I'm still in a minority group, but the minority is much larger than I ever envisioned. So .............. here's the rub.

I am planning an attempt at an IBA 1600/24 and 2000/24 run, hopefully before the end of the year.

I rec'd a great email today and it reflects who we are, and in light of a lot of accidents around our area (sth east qld) this puts a new prespective on it.
Enjoy and forward to all people you know, especially non riders.

I think its good reading for anyone who wants to understand a big difference in a real riders rally and a general piss up rally that we have here.
I am suggesting a read of this for anyone but more importantly for those thinking of joining me one day on FarRally. It will happen its just when here in Australia.

Its always been that there has been a max 350 mile between dockets for proof. It seems that at some stage this changed for us in klm based countries. This is approx 60klms less than the mile based countries, which may not seem a lot but it adds up.

The max 11.5 gal rule still applies for the IBR, there is no max amount for normal IBA rides... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Aussiedav) http://gtr1000.yuku.com/topic/3332 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:43:42 GMT <![CDATA[ West FarRide #7 - 8th Nov 2008 ]]> http://gtr1000.yuku.com/topic/3329/t/West-FarRide-7-8th-Nov-2008.html The next proposed West FarRide #7 SAT 8TH November 2008 at Denmark W.A.

I've been following this site for a while, and I thought I'd post up the next ride. Two mates and I are going around the country (about 17 000kms) in 14 days. I'm a bit nervous about the bit of dirt we are doing up the top end, but I'm sure the Hayabusas will be fine, they are known for their off-road ability. We're taking an 04 busa (mine) and two '08 brand new busas. Sounds like a pretty extreme way to run a bike in to me.
