Amen, brother, that's what these bikes were meant to do!Ken Talbot -
With regard to the "no support" in Australia. There are roads that go all the way around. There is fuel every 100 miles (160 km). I don't know what more support a person could need. :-) My brother-in-law warned me about my 4 corners trip too. He said that it couldn't be done without "support". He's from Australia. I guess we have stouter men here in the USA. I guess it just depends on your definition of "support". I lived in AU for a time, and the XS11 is/was a bike you could find on a regular basis. My only worry would be a catastrophic failure that would take more time to repair than I have available.
I could always rent a bike for the trip. I have seen one company that has goldwings for rent to tour Australia.
First bike was an: 1978 XS1100
Second bike is an FJR1300.
Now I'm restoring a '79 XS1100.Comment
