Photo taken at Blackwater, Central Queensland, at the sight of another GCA cache. I was returning from Emerald, with a new laptop on the back of the bike. The bike is a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad, 1600cc fuel injected model. Used as a long distance commuter between Bluff and Gladstone (about 275km each way) and also for on road caching. Bought in Feb 08, I have used the Nomad on a caching trip to Newcastle and return, as well as caching round Gladstone and Rocky, and as far out as Emerald.
This comes after my 250cc Honda Rebel, which served me well on a trip to Singleton, as well as almost to Cairns via Emerald and Charters Towers last year.
Both bikes used the same mount- a Ram mount bolted to a plate, U bolted to the handlebars, and powered from the bike battery using a standard Garmin power cable. This mount has been used for both a Garmin GPS60, and now my Garmin GPS60CSx.
Future plans include a 2 up ride caching holiday in 2009 with Mrs Bundy up through the centre of Qld to Mt Isa, then across into NT to Darwin, and maybe the Alice/Ayres Rock area for holidays next year, towing a bike trailer. All up weight will be around the 800kg mark. More trips will follow in the future. Further plans may include a trade in of the Nomad for a trike in a few years time.

If you see me on the road, stop and say GDay.

Cheers
Bundy
