Hi everyone.

My name is Bill and I have just bought a 2015 Softail Slim and intend on riding it from the Sunshine Coast QLD to Darwin NT.

Cheers and hopefully get some much needed travel tips and info on here in the near future.

Bill

That's a long trip for a Cruiser.. over 4k miles.. you'll probably need to make some mods to make her road worthy.

Welcome to HDF, have fun and ride safe, from Central Indiana...
