Ok so im doing the tourismo 2008.

My intentions are to tow my bike to starting point and tow back to syd. I am in the process of making a 6 bike trailer. As you all know I have a large tow vehicle (not like supers festering toe ) but a F250 that seats a very comfy 5, so anyone that is interested in the idea let it be known. I have worked on the fuel costs and it will be aprox $1000 return trip 2800km  ,So I can carry 8 bikes total 6 on the trailer , 2 on the back of the ute and 5 passengers on the rig so return trip would be say aprox $125 per bike return any thing less is a bonus anything more its still cheep. The other option is to sent it by transport $430 return plus your air fair.

Aprox 15 hours driving to Adelaide and some good times along the way not to mention the fun on the tourismo.
Would like to depart from my shop by about 4 am for an early start to arrive in Adelaide by aprox  7 or 8 pm

so far the following are in.

Bike and pasenger.

1)Dock
2)Matty(shotgun)
3)Rusty
4)Andy

Yeah, but my toe smells better.

Yeah you know I'm up for that.....
Might have to be that and not the Snow though.
Being that we'll be in the snow later in the year.

So yeah, count me in if your looking for people to fill spots and share diesel costs.


TOURISMO FOR ME....

Hey Doc,

Please reserve a spot for my beast - I am keen to get my bike there and am happy to pay if that helps whatever you fancy

I can assist with driving passenger (ie: talking duties one way but don't have the available time for both ways.

Is this ok or am I being Presumptuous?

Thanks,

R_usty

Not a problem Rusty we can look after your baby on the way home 

R_usty I promise I won't do any test riding on the way home 
Seriously, you know you can trust other fellow Monster-orians.
She will be safe.

I have 100% trust in both you and Doc  Plus you can have a ride on the Turismo if you want anyway 

Cool, I look forward to it then.
Will I have to have my lid modified in order to runs the systems on board.....

damn it I would love to take a spot, but since I have already had a week long bike holiday this year, I think that I would be pressing my luck.

I am very envious, take lots of pics...... oh wait........ mattys going......  duh, ignore the last comment 

Pics of course.
We may even be on to front and rear facing video by then.
But yes there will be lotsa photos taken.

Matty I think we should lobby NFI to commission you as an official photographer along with a few assistants - nothing like a "business trip" on the monster(s). They pay you for your work, and pay for all of our travel and tourismo costs - now I could start to convince the missus 

Well i have there PR contact.
I'd be nice, I did see a girl out shooting photos at the NFI stand Sunday.
Maybe they are sorted but I should go ask hey?

We'll have a little Tourismo in Sydney when they scoot off to Adelaide, Nick.

How does that sound?

Hey Adam,

    Can you fire that snap of me on 848 to my email
Thanks a bunch. You had a look at that little item you picked up over the weekend.
