Tigers go round OZ.......

lentil · 11-07-2011, 01:01 AM

Gday all,

some of you already are aware but Philip and crew will be riding a couple of triumph tigers around OZ over 12 months....it wont be in a straight line, It wont be for charity, it will be to see big bikes punted around all sorts of places and see how they go!!

I will be posting photos as they get to me from phils mobile and phil will post picks as we go!!

The first leg is melbourne to bathurst with phil & Robin box (Aka Box head - in phils parlance) and I think they are in melbourne tonight??

Next leg in Janruary will be Great Dividing Ranges with rumours abounding that a certain inmate who rides a scrambler and lives in canberra will be partly reponsible for some of the leg along with Burren rider for the northern section. - I am also keen to revisit the racecourse (weerikembe NP and cells road in blistering australia day heat )

So hopefully tommorrow the photos will start flowing (I have a couple but I left them on my desktop @ work - so will post them up when I get back!)

Did they ever end up doing anything meaningful/remotely interesting with those bikes?
