Day 4 1st casualty

Chris and peter both dodged the first emu but when the second darted between the 2 bikes doing highway speeds Peter managed to swerve right only to have the bird change direction 180° into the path of his BMW, the steering damper kicked into action saving the slightly anxious rider from loosing control of the machine as it continued over the bird. 
On a lighter note this morning Peter noticed a retaining bolt had vibrated off of one of his panniers, Touratech being the champions they are will forward the part onto gympie. Meanwhile the pannier is strapped into place; luckily the roads to gympie are all bitchy.

  1. So, what does emu taste like?

    Sounds like it's been an exciting trip so far. All the best from the guys back in the office.
