Day 2 Devonport to Launceston (we are in Tasmania now)

[Doctor350]

Day 3 Launceston to Bicheno

[Capnrip]

Lobsta shack, Yes!

[Doctor350]

The Lobster Shack is in a beautiful little town on the east coast called Bicheno. Sign on the way in to Bicheno says something like "we welcome motorcycle riders to our town" Gotta love that

The Lobster Shack is right on the waters edge where the boats come in with their catch. It was the first time that Tanya and I had an actual lobster and luckily Wardy and Lisa showed us how to attack it properly and get all the bits out of the claws etc.

Day 4 Hobart

[cabnfvr]

And THAT, is how you wear out a tire!

[Doctor350]

That's the tyre on my K1300R. And that is evidence your honour, that the K1300R or S is not only still relevant, but is at the top of the tree in the sports touring sector. That is with a pillion and luggage.

Anyway, I don't need to preach to you. You know

[Doctor350]

Day 5 Hobart to Strahan

[Doctor350]

Day 6 Strahan

[Doctor350]

Day 7 Strahan to Devonport

[Capnrip]

Who's that creepy dude standing next to Tanya?

[Doctor350]

Never met him. He just latched on to her for the whole trip

[Doctor350]

Day 8 Geelong to Wangaratta

[Doctor350]

My girl was happy to have us home. That's her happy face.

and Ditto!

[Doctor350]

Tim, that tyre is on Smoggy's K1300S. It copped some torture as you can see. Pretty sure his riding is in contravention of several Geneva Rights
