Heidi's EXCELLENT Adventure.

[motoplast]

Umm, Max, if u are referring to the workshop manager at Red Baron at Liverpool around '99, '00, can't remember when I last worked there, anyway I digress, I held the "Around Australia M/C Endurance Record" in 1978 on a Honda F2 750/4 in a time of 8 day's 23 hours & 57 minutes, I was the first person to get this record below 9 days & the only person to prove I wasn't popping drugs to stay awake. This was done by Urinalyis in every Capital city. I was serving in the RAN as a Submariner at the time. This record was well published.
I have since specialised in Long distance riding and have just recently (FEB this year) joined the American based IBA (Iron Butt Assoc') and the Australian FarRiders, two records here, my dog, Bundy is the first dog to join the IBA (tbc) and FarRiders and secondly, my 'Busa was the first 'Busa to join FarRiders, 2044klms in 23hrs, (SS2000/IBA).

hey Tex, I wondered into the Red Baron about late '99 to get something for the bike, while I was on a course in Sydney.

Your bike was propped up at Mentor's for some time after the record run wasn't it?
8 days and 23 hours, I nearly got it right in hours then - that was so long ago.


I remember reading about the run in the Green Horror not that long after the ride.

You are the Guru of distance old man.

G'day Max, It was really great to catch up with u, Dan & Heidi last night, it made the wet trip down to Canberra worth it, The conversations, the scenery:, the Bundies! etc were all good!.
Bloody Heidi,Jen & I were a little seedy this morning, Bundy was full of beans! The run back up to Sydney was dry & cold. Heidi took us down to Tillies? for breakfast this morning, it was an awsome meal.
Anyway mate, take care, I look forward to doing a run with u, by the way, enough of the OLD!!!. Ur only as old as the woman u feel!.

Cheers,
Tex & Bundy
