Wouldn't it be better to put the bike on a truck and fly there and back. I'd have to take serious drugs to drive that straight for that long.
How much would it cost to ship several bikes to say Tasmania for a week? That would be worth it surely?

[Sprint]

$240 fuel (guessing 15km/l and current fuel costs) each way.
Something under 37 hours @ the legal limit, including fuel & snack stops each way.
No.

i know some one who drove from here to brisbane in 36 hr in a car so it has to be posible

[madmike]

i would like to ride there but it might be cheaper to fly i can get there and bak for 300 so yeah um

36 hrs in a car Perth to Brisbane?

[Sprint]

Yeah - 4,348kms if you shortcut through Port Augusta SA.
That's better than 120km/h average for 36 hours.
Your mate should be in Le Mans.

And that is on average. Meaning they actualy had to go faster to compensate for petrol/piss and food stops, changeovers, slower moving traffic you can`t immideately overtake and so on...

It's definitely doable for short distances. For something that long where you would need sleep you would need more than one person. I cut a 3:30 (according to google maps) drive down to 2:30 without any trouble.

you can never be shore from asking a map they dont account for every condition or wat could happen along the way

[themadone]

When you add in food, accommodation and fuel it is cheaper to fly. Petrol in the middle is around $2 a litre and a hotdog is $10.

if ya not used to driving /riding for long hours
you will be knackered therefore becoming a danger to yourself and
everyone around you i remember when i first started driving a truck
from perth to melbourne i got to the border and i think i slept most of
the rest of the trip (2up) allow ya self some time to enjoy it

[madmike]

ive driven long distances no problem i just pop a few energy drinks off i go i think the longest was 13 hr with 30min break just looking for a cheap way there would like to do it but i think i will get a bigger bike first
