Did a few hours out in the local forest this morning here's a few pics it's mid winter about 18deg and a bit of rain last night .

Managed to hit yet another roo and wasn't quick enough to get a pic of a snake grabbing a rare winter sunbake 

The new mt 21 WAS GREAT

Thanks for posting up the pics - proper outback territory biggrin

It's almost 7am here in the UK. 14 degrees outside and very cloudy. Just the wrong side of mid-summer day now.

Thnx for the photos. How do you get away with the number plate on the rear gaurd. Cops here in NSW TWEED HEADS would book you strait away. I wish i could have only one rear vision mirror but both Are the law.

The weather looks perfect for trailing in those shots. smile

As Brian says, the days are now getting shorter up here and today it's quite grey with rain threatening. cry

Here's hoping the sun gets out. hmm

never had any trouble here with the number palate and one mirror  , same laws as you  .

cant see the plate as is and the mirror is useless --but haven't been done for it

 I  was pulled up- by the cops just about to go into  the bush ended up with a very keen policeman pulling his gun on me and sending the police women to check my licence I started to chuckle it was so ridiculous and when asked why I said I must be a good thief I've stolen a full set of riding gear and it all fits and matches the bike the policewomen  had  god laugh  , had his moment of glory and sent me on the way .

I tend to be pulled up about once a month for a licence check and breath test but no other problems with them

 yeah had that one too.

As for number plates and mirrors I'm in NSW and we have it easy in the manning valley  . My brother in sydney got a defect for the rear reflector wasn't the correct angle between the Rego plate and rear axle .

 Actually Brian, that is not outback at all, more like bushland. This is a fine example of the ''outback'', notice how there is not many trees and they are not bushland trees-

thanks jarrah .ive done a simpson desert crosding ext but it was on an xt550 but planning a run to camerons corner some time soon . will get some pics of the ttr in the red dust 

plumbasse roos arnt exotic there bordering on pests a few good seasons and small acerage lots and they breed like rabbits .

the ones we usualy hit are called stinkers localy only a couple of feet tall and love crossing a bikes path the rest range from walabies around 3 to 4foot tall and grey and red roos from 3to 6foot tall all of which have a good percentage end up as road kill .

i do like em but thier bloody stupid things

I was reading Tim Flannery's Future Eaters book a while ago and was interested to discover that Australian animals have some of the smallest brains of any animals on the planet. Dry and desert animals develop small brains so as not to use up too much energy apparently. The Roo, Emu and Koala have some of the lowest brain power for their size on the planet! Doesn't surprise anyone from AU I bet! Roos and Emus all run out in front of vehicles like they were magnets but the feral goats bolt way before they can get hit.

And I thought I should add; any smart comments from non-Aussie members on the size of Aussie human brain size will be dealt with by us running out in front of your car next time we are in your part of the world. biggrin

 so true even riding second or third In the group the stupid things can still score a direct hit .
