Hello! Newbie here.
        
 
         I'm from California. This April I am traveling to Australia and renting a Tenere 660 in Melbourne. I am landing in Melbourne on April 9 at 9pm. I am picking up the motorcycle from 
        
Garners Motorcycle the morning of April 10. My plane back to the US leaves May 9 at 9am.
         
        
 So, a breakdown of my itinerary (so far, still a work in progress):
         
        
 Arrive........Depart
        
 9-Apr........12-Apr Melbourne
        
 12-Apr......17-Apr Sydney
        
 17-Apr......21-Apr Gold Coast / Brisbane
        
 21-Apr......25-Apr Mackay
        
 25-Apr......2-May Cairns
        
 2-May.......5-May Cairns to Melbourne
        
 5-May.......8-May Melbourne
         
        
 In total, its 28 days on a bike in Australia.
         
        
 I'm looking to meet people who can show me around, show me what this bike can do, and in general just have fun!
