This morning we woke to our last day on the road as one big family. We packed up in the morning, and made a stop at Harley-Davidson's HQ at the rally to say a special thank you to Kim Williams, who had handled all the logistics of our ride at their end.

Then it was one last group hug, and back on the bikes and into the vans for the run into Adelaide.

We headed south back through the Barossa before cutting across to Gawler and the Main North Road back into Adelaide. Once again the weather held for us, with threatening clouds but no more rain, and we made it into the city dry and warm.

As we pulled up to our destination, Harley Heaven in the city, we saw towers of pink and black and orange (for Harley-Davidson) balloons, and a pack of friends and family who cheered as we pulled in. It was an emotional ending and reunion, and tears and smiles were shared all around.

Melbourne Donna had organized for one last surprise - a limo with champagne to take a group of the girls out to their hotel and the airport for their ride home. A few other riders hooked up with their families for the afternoon, but eight hard core bikers geared up once more for the ride back up to the HOG Rally for another night's celebration and the big Thunder ride the next day.

We made our goodbyes, and then headed back up the main road to Nuriootpa, anxious to get there on time for Dimi and Tanya to take test rides on the new 1200 Nightster. We pulled in right on schedule, and went our separate ways to soak up the atmosphere before the night's party.

Dimi loved the 1200 Nightster and firmly added it to her Christmas list, whilst Tanya decided to put the test ride off and take another bike for a spin in the Thunder ride on Sunday.

As we gathered for dinner, storm clouds rolled in and pouring rain and howling wind perfectly complemented the Halloween theme. Just before the main band, Wolverine, started their performance, we were all invited up on to stage by Kim to tell the crowd about our journey and thank HD for their support. We had a fantastic reception with many HOG riders chasing us down afterwards to make a donation.

Finally the weather became so bad, the band had to stop and we made our way to our tents for our final night on the road.
