Ha ha I wish.

I could place every road they showed - but there are still more that we locals like to haunt ;)

Next trip, Ron!

  If my legs weren't so stove up I would move to Tasmania myself.
 I spent a week there when my ship stopped there in 87 or 88.  We were moored
 North of Launceston.  It would be hard to find a prettier place to live.

So Kurt, how did the ride go?  How many of you went, what were they riding and how did the 1100 sport go? Highlights, lowlights or anything.  350 kms and I am guessing about a squillion corners to while away the time!  Would have loved to be part of the gang.
