THE NEW PLAN FOR DUB;

1) Dub flies to Australia. (It's just a hop, honest...)

2) Dub borrows my Daytona and luggage.

3) Dub undertakes an epic ride - South Australia, Great Ocean Road, The Snowies, then selected other choice spots.

4) Dub returns, tired to my place (The Mozzie Garage) to spend a few days recovering.

5) Dub gets on a plane some days later, just as tired and more hung over.

6) Everyone wins.

THAT sounds like a fantastic plan!!!

Umm....I can pay for the petrol! At least I can make that look like vehicle running costs. My best friends at the Tax Department might have trouble understanding how I managed to fly FROM America TO Australia and then back again, though. They are easily confused at the ATO.

Also a bit concerned that between points 3 and 4 there might be something like "Dub starts to daydream, crosses onto the wrong side of the road and has a narrow miss with a Road Train..."
