Hey guys.

A couple of pix of a 2nd Gen in Central Australia - trailer and all.

The owner/rider is Larry who has just joined us under the name Wedge.

This is how you travel in Oz - in style!

Hey Don,

They're all dead on the side of the road.

Never seen so much road-kill.

Nobody drives or rides out here after sundown, unless you're pushing a 150ft road train. Those things cruise through the day and night at 130km/hr and stop for nothing.

As I pulled in to Longreach in Queensland on my trip, I decided to count the roadkill in the last 15kms before town. Counted 58 carcasses - mostly roos.

Actually, the trailer is not that big. In the second shot the size is exaggerated by the fact that it's shot with a wide-angle (18mm) lens. The first shot is a truer perspective. All up I think Larry said it weighed 125kg (1/3 the dry weight of the bike).
