The day #22 of the #PowerTrip360 was the second longest one in terms of the number of kilometres covered in a day as we did around 1100 kms that day. A small typographical error in our distance chart led us to believe that we will be doing around 800 kms that day; however, we figured out the mistake the night before our departure and were able to make an early start rather than taking it easy.<\/p>\n

This was also the day when we came face to face one of the biggest challenges that we could face on this roadtrip; and that was the fear of running out of fuel. After the Halls Creek Petrol station, the next gas station was 293 kilometres. We were carrying 15 L spare fuel, which was enough to see us through to the next station. However, we rode very slowly in the 100-100 kmph range and figured out that we could do around 350 kms in one tankful and that spare fuel for the both bikes, which was impressive for these bikes. But riding slowly would mean a longer day on the road and we reached to a point where we figured out that the next petrol pump (Willare) would close at 8 p.m. and we were still 200 kms away from it, with just 2 hours in hand to reach it. So we called the petrol pump guys and requested them to stay open an extra 15 minutes; otherwise, we\u2019d be stuck 200 kms short of our destination on the road. They agreed to keep it open for an extra 15 minutes; but we managed to reach there 5 minutes before their regular closing time. Then from there it was another 200 kms run to Broome to reach there before all the restaurants close.<\/p>\n
