Back tracking on the little black Postie bike. Storm and clay roads make me take the black top stuff the long way around. This is Part 2 going from Pooncarie NSW to Broken Hill NSW.
My dad loved Honda CTs. We have owned a CT 90. I currently have a CT110 and CT125. I wish Dad were still alive to watch your adventures. Thank's for sharing.
I'm well impressed with the postie adventure mark keep going mate and stay safe got a omni cruise for me bike after seeing your report told brian C had bought after seeing it on your youtube site so seen in Aus bought in the USA been used in the UK cheers Graham
I started riding posties in Thailand... l don't recall ever turning back even though l would shit myself but then, l would see a complete Thai family crammed on a postie... felt ashamed and never worried about what may come again. That's when the ''adventure'' really started!
Great series Mark, watched the five parts in this series over the weekend and really enjoyed all of them. What a fantastic little bike the CT110 is, so simple and reliable, will be getting one later in the year. A classic!
What a great doco! Thanks for putting time in to make this! Am enjoying the shit out of it! Im about ready to go buy a bike and go! haha. Have a good one mate!
G'Day Carlos, LOL yeah you guys do... didn't think of that :-) Bloody legends! I reakon the Postie bike would have been perfect for the Great Ocean Road. Cheers... Mark
Hi Mark, the KTM did ok on that Pooncarie road, but I did almost loose it a few times.. I stay away from sand and mud now days, the old body does not heal all that well. Keep up the good work mate !!. Looking Forward to your Next Episode.
I was in Oz during Sept 13 for month riding a GS from Syd to Perth via red centre and those flys got everywhere i had to keep my lid shut to keep them out - guy in Coober Pedy told me after you swallowed your 4th they all taste like chicken. I used your videos for insperation and also took a photo from the same spot as you did on the Great Ocean Road. Thanks for the videos Mark - Oz is a fantastic place and is calling me back!
Us posties do every day mate ! and normally on the 'rough as' nature strips ! Fairly similar experience to the sand ! :-) Those flies look horrid ! Maybe with hind sight the postie bike should have done the great ocean road... Keep going ! great vids ! Carlos
Thanks for the info Mark! I have got two 5L Jerry cans and also the genuine Honda auxiliary tank that holds a couple of liters. Looks like I will get the range I am after! :) Looking forward to the next video!
G'Day mate, LOL surprisingly the big bastard bugs still stung when they hit :-) Yeah have to find someone as crazy as me to sit on a Postie bike day in day out for a week. Cheers... Mark
Keep going mate.. Love your videos .. Would love to catch up one day mate.. That Pooncarie to Menindee road I road on my 990' a year ago and was not too bad, but it looked a lot sandy on your ride. Good luck mate well done
G'Day Pez, just a couple more tough ones and then I'm done :-) I had 4.8 litres in the bike tank and 10 litres in a jerry can. I could have got away with a 5 litre jerry can. Roughly when on the highway going pretty much flat out I would get 120-130kms per 4.8 litres and when I was plodding along the back/dirt roads I would get 160kms easy. Cheers... Mark
G'Day Chris, thanks mate and yeah I have been looking at getting a Suzuki DR650. Yeah the type of bikes certainly add to the adventure :-) Airhawk made the long days on the postie bareable. Cheers... Mark
Blimey, were you even going fast enough to splatter bugs?! 50 clicks is pretty poor. I reckon you needed a mate with you to share the fun, makes any ride a lot better!
G'Day Charles, LOL you just have to get back on the bike as quick as you can! It's not like that everywhere, but you get spots like that which are as you put it "bat-shit crazy" :-) Cheers... Mark

Those flies...Holy $hit! Don't know how you deal with it, that would have drove me completely bat-shit crazy!
