Hi folks,
Kez (the bride) and I have just completed a 14 day, 4200km ride (2 up) throughout Victoria (Australia) including the Great Ocean Road, and I thought you might be interested in a few pics of our trusty old Revere along the way.
I recently bought the bike (no name yet)in August, it had 98000Km on the clock and being 18years old I would say that its not the first time its rolled over.
To prepare for the trip we had had the bike serviced, a new rear tyre ( Bridgestone (Pirelli on the front)) fitted, a 56litre (Rjays) top box, and a pair for 40-66 litre (Motodry) soft panniers fitted.
I rebuilt the rack and made some support frames for the panniers. we purchased and fitted a Gemini Shark fairing (from Handcraft fibreglass in Sydney) had the seat lengthened, widened and repadded, very nice now, Bride was very appreciative of this modification. I also added a 12v socket for my Garmin Nuvi GPS and hard wired a Oxford BikeMike 3 intercom system.
Please enjoy these pics it really was a GR8 trip...

Day 1 leaving home, NSW.
At Adaminaby in the Snowy mountains NSW
At Tocumwal on the Murray River , great place for lunch.
Preparing waypoints and trip notes at Moama NSW
Heading for Bendigo, Victoria
Thats the Grampian ranges in the background , Victoria.
A little wet at the Cape Otway Lighthouse, Victoria.
GOR west of Port Campbell, Victoria.
The Great Ocean Road, Lorne, Victoria.
At Melbourne, Victoria. The start of the Eureka run to Ballarat with 500 other bikes, was a GR8 day. Harleys everywhere but mine was the only Revere. I'm a rebel.
Below decks on the Queeenscliff to Sorrento ferry, Victoria.
At the Home of MotoGP here is Oz, Phillip Island, Victoria. (thought i was Casey for a second, hehehehe)
So thats a little peek at our trip. thanks for stopping by..
