Aussie Hodgo & his 950SE does USA Alaska Canada & anywhere else he can find.

Tank is a 30L safari tank 8gallons.
Not sure what the mpg works out to be.

8.2 us gallons. . Say you're pulling in to fill at 7 gallons down then 42-43mpg.

Okay, that's about what I'm going to be expecting then and 4 gallons down be filling at 160 miles or so.....doesn't seem enough. You've done we'll with the big tank!

I found your spork!

Hodgo, your are just teasing Rod with those goat photos aren't you.

How is the temperature so far?

The roads look to be a bit better than you find over here.

Where are you heading to next, and are you going to Gettysburg?

Hey Hodgo!

Caught up with Derek Friday nite, and he told me about your thread, otherwise I'd never have seen it!

Awesome report mate, I just read the whole lot and pissed myself laughing at your er.. interesting way with words.

Take care mate, we look forward to seeing you when you come home.

All the best, Strumm n Sandy

Good shit hodgo

Did ya pack your shirt with personality

Great pics, good to read the bearings have worked out. You're living the dream!


Nice looking goat, a bit of lippy, cold lonely night...nice looking goat..

Loving the goat pictures.
More pictures good.
Math is impossible.

So are you going to check out Yellowstone National Park?
Its worth about two days to see it all.
Lots of other cool stuff to see around here.
Let me know if you need any advice.

Q~

:eek1

I thought it was the "Other" blokes on that "Other" island that had all those likings for livestock.



And you always ask questions why us Americans are all armed.

To keep us safe from you weird ass foreigners.....

AND with him coming back to my place for a few days I am going to have to hide my dog from him......

Good thing I dont live on a farm.....

Well Hodgo stopped by Casa Questor last night.

I've never seen so much stuff piled on a SE before. :eek1


First we gave him a cold beer.


Then we cooked meat.


Then we drank more beer and ate food. :dg


and later we busted out the funny animal hats.


And finally Hodgo signed the shower curtain.


A successful ADV "Tent Space" experience.

Q~

Awesome but you will want to wash that hat before letting the next person put it on...



How many times did you have to say what in order to understand what he said?

Actually it wun dun nit too bad ter understandum whut ee done sid.

Adrian was a great guest and we all had a good time.
Q~

Took me three days, and if he got riles up and talking fast....

Was like a Sarah Paulin meth head singing the blues...

BUT

The time he spoke to the waitress in pigeon was priceless, I wish I got that one on film....

Apparently he speaks several languages...
One of them might even be English! oser

(Hey Adrian, this is all in good fun right?)

Q~

Now Now don't be mean its like having a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. Like the special Olympics or women's basketball, feint interest to keep him happy.

That's all.

Hey Hodgo, man you have to be baking, looks like your in Zion. gotta be hot. spent a month In Moab but that was November. was 35c here in Kamloops today was out on the hack. needed beer. have a great trip diverdown

I wonder how much longer that front tire is going to last, it look pretty sad when you were here, it must be close to showing strings by now?

Hey you blokes play nice,. I can also swear in a few languages, but English swearing lately is getting a hammering.

Twas good to stop over at eds place, Top bloke and a cat owner too. Also good to catch up with John too. Hope to see all you blokes i have met on here over in Aust in the not too distant future.

Well im down in page now after pitting a few more tank fulls of fuel through the SE. It sucks a bit of fuel at 140pkh so ve slowed down a bit to 120.

For Dave .... the front tyre is still on mate and going strong, i eckon about another thou should kill it maybe.

ChopChop will remember that tyre as he had to wait for me at xmas time while i took it off and turned it around. Molytek Maciek actually gave it to me.

Ed & John reckon that from Idaho Fall south would be a boring run of nothing, but i found the ride quite enjoyable.

Smug mug doesnt seem to be working here at he moment so will upload some pictures later.

I came down through Salt Lake City & was planning on a stop over at Park City but things didnt plan out, so kept the wheels rolling on down through the I15 & turned off at Cedar city. Temps are warm at over a hundred F but no humidity so it feels like 80.

So gunna try and follow along the Colarado river back towards La. Plan on a very early start in the morning but anything could happen.

Hey Guys glad you found the report and got a good old belly laugh out of it.

I will have to dig out the "Snails Trails" shirt for some photos.

Prior to Idaho Falls i stopped at Norris as they had a campground there as well.

Well it also turned out to be full of near naked women, beer and great live music from the band Wandering Wild. The fiddle player was a blonde hottie & the upright based had her tounge pierced.
