Have a look at the route Geoff, looks to me like there is only one stretch of dirt that can't be bypassed. if it's dry it should be OK.

There were 5 in the starters blocks for the red centre but only 2 took off in the end. They did 8,900ks and had a ball. I got gazumped by a surprise property purchase with my Son that led to our house now being sold.

Looking at another attempt next March for anybody interested in visiting the Red Centre for 4-5 weeks.

It's just more time to be flat out!

You should be ok for the first day, the barry way has been done by road bikes. The second day you can by pass the dirt to Delegate. 3rd day dirt section can also be by passed. Better yet trade in the roadie for a adventure bike. Its the way of the future.

I've done barry's way, it's 50km from Buchan, it feels like you never get to the end of it, it's also quite rough in places, a lot of corners has big corrugations, it's good to do just so you can say that you have done it, I was on my KTM 1050 adventure, one bloke on a BMW 1000cc sports bike & a Triumph speed triple, & a Aprilia Motard.

Don't mess with old bikers, they don't just look crazy.

My first motor bike ride at the age 13, 58 years later I'm still riding.
