Thanks for all your kind replies, I arrived back today and must admit... at the last minute (after checking the long term forecast) I decided to
drive the limo, and now I can say I'm actually glad I did... my destination received 230mm

of rain in the 2 days leading up to my arrival, most of the area I drove had been underwater at some stage and for the 1st time in over 6 or so years the area's dams had filled.
Non-stop rain for the entire time with winds up to 90kmh at times!!
But, the first time family reunion in 16 years was good, Dad's funeral was good, and we all came out of it a little bit closer.
Thanks again, and sorry I drove

, but I said g'day to most of the riders at fuel stops along the way,
mainly in envy as I was really bored off my tree in a car and so longed to be riding, even in the wet

!!!
Thanks again, and once this unusual winter monsoon

stops I can get back into some fun rides, can't wait!!!
