Many thanks to Miss Tyler R. and to UberKul Brad M., they stepped forward with tire changing capability for our Aussie Friends Kevin and Maree while they are in California.

Also, thanks to both SacramentoMike and to Old Michael; even though they did not possess tire changers themselves, they did offer to help K & M any way that they could!

You coulda just called in the swat team for that.

'Scott and Kevin are in touch and hopefully will get the tire changed on Thursday in Pleasanton.
Ty, You are the Best!
Best at?
Everything, honey… everything!"

+1, Gunny; I'll second that emotion, HUBBA-HUBBA-HUBBA! Maree and Kevin packing up in the garage at Casa de Stanley en el Barrio del Chandler ese, bound for the Land of Fruits (Bokerfork) and Nuts (Old Michael): Republika de Kalifornia! jes' sayin' and nuff said!

They seem to be nice people...
...but some evil person put a flat tire on the back of the bike.

Replace rear tire this morning, many thanks to Don for his posts on thru internet, Tyler for putting me in contact with Scott. And a big thank you to Scott for his time and effort.
Also thank you to all the other that offered help if I needed.

Thank you to all the group which made us welcome on your ride last Saturdays ride.

We have left the west and heading east, have some time in Las Vegas waiting on rear brake master cylinder.
Have had no rear brakes for 4 days, unable to get repair. kit, back ordered with Yamaha, Have complete cylinder on the way.

Kevin and Maree, that looks like a nice little park you were in. Was it chilly going over the top?
There's a bit of a contrast between Yosemite and Las Vegas, eh?

By the way, I looked up Cobar on a map. You are INDEED "out there", and a long way from everywhere. I'd love to see some photos of your
home turf when you get back.
I hope the rest of your trip goes well. Maree is a trooper!
All the best.

That's some good riding...hope all is clear sailing.

After 5 weeks in the USA we have had 2 days of cool and windy weather. Only 6 days before we fly home.

I hope you haven't been riding on that side of the road while you've been over here

I was on that side of the to miss a snow drift, we turn around about a mile up the road as I had no chains.
