The Big Purple Lap

My dad and his mate are doing a lap around Australia in two weeks to raise money for pancreatic cancer. I’m super proud of him and thought this sub would appreciate the road trip! For anyone who doesn’t know already - Australia is MASSIVE and to do the lap in two weeks is insane. A lot of the riding once they leave the east coast is super remote with nothing but outback for miles. I hope they make their goal of within two weeks but as long as they get home in one piece I’ll be a proud motorbike riding daughter 🥲

The Big Purple Lap - has anyone ever done a lap of Aus on a non-cruiser bike?

My dad and his mate are doing a two week ride around Australia on their Harleys to raise money for pancreatic cancer. I’m super proud of him and given he only left Mother’s Day and is already on the way to Tenant Creek I’m mind blown. I only ride a CB125 (time for an upgrade 🤣) but it got me thinking - has anyone here ever done something like this on a bike that wasn’t a cruiser? I’d love to know what the experience is like on long rides on other bikes cause Harleys are not my thing but would love to hear other peoples experiences!
