Kev and Karen have done more than 50,000 km so far on their trip from the UK on a modified Guzzi Spada. "Modified" is an understatement, check out their website http://www.guzzioverland.co.uk/ and explore the links.
Recently "resting" in Mackay Qld after a "problem" with using E10 fuel, and another shorter rest after some ring disintegration problems in Airlie Beach they are on their way up the coast. They participated in the Australian Italian Festival in Ingham on Sunday (7th August) and arrived in Cairns last Friday 12/08/2011. On Saturday they hung around a bit sorting out washing, updating their Blog (follow links from their web page) and various bits and bobs before meeting up with Paul Naylor for a run up the Gillies as far as the tablelands before turning back to get back to Kev and Sharons place at Gordonvale in time for a BBQ greeting from every one.
Sunday was spent soaking up the sunshine at the Cairns swapmeet at the showground before a quick run up to Ellis beach. Keep an eye on the Cairns Post this weekend for some pics and I will add some pics and a story to a page in the "Stranger than Fiction" section soon.
Kev and Karen have now headed up the coast to Cape Trib, Cooktown and all points in between but will be back next week for the Guzzis are Go! run next Sunday the 21st August before they go for the run across the top end to WA.
