Hey Glenn!
I have been viewing this in 10-15 minute increments between turning wrenches in the garage. VERY well put together and what a GREAT adventure!!! It takes a certain amount of mental fortitude to travel that far by yourself. Well done, man! :drinks:
On a side note: The Tenere 660 isn't available stateside. If they EVER import that one here...or produce the rumored XT700Z, I'm ON IT!!!
Thanks for sharing your adventure!! :good2:
I watched & enjoyed every little bit of that! Many Thanks Glenn! :drinks:
Excellent video Glen, that would've taken days to put together. Great photos and clips showing just how vast and diverse this country is, inland Australia with miles and miles and miles of nothing, to the coasts with tropical rainforests and outstanding views. Looks like you had a great time but not sure if I could or would do it on my own like you did. Well done. :drinks:
Ok it should work on all devices now ,,,,sorry :dash2:
What a terrific journey! Awesome photos from the ocean to barren expanses. I had to take a break at Nullarbor Plains though- 52c/125f was too hot for me. :smile: Look forward to finishing it up.
Still picking through it, looks good. I will comment again when I get to the end...

I finished your trip tonite, great stuff. That must have been one hell of a ride especially with the heat and humidity. Did you keep any records like how many days, kms in all? How much fuel used, cost of fuel, campgrounds & hotels, food? Congrats on a most excellent adventure! :good2:
Recon this thread deserves a bump back to the top of the page.. :good2:
Well done Glen, great video.... :good2:
Great stuff!

Wow Glenn, just wow! Now I remember, I couldn't get it to play when you originally posted this. I love it.
You have ticked off what must be the biggest item on every true Aussie riders bucket list on home soil, well done.
You have a great eye for the quirkiness of the Outback and it's characters. Your photos and footage captures it beautifully, but nothing can possibly convey that fantastic sensation of remoteness short of being there.
I have been to many of those places but have never done "a lap of the block" although Iron Knob does get mentioned around my place quite a bit.
That was really well put together and I loved every minute of it. Having done a trip to outback SA a few weeks back, the "feeling" of being there and some of that country was fresh in my mind and featured some places I had ridden through and some I get to ride regularly.
It would have taken me longer to put the video together than the ride took, that is really well done!
Yep, the ride of a lifetime, half your luck.
So, how do you plan on topping that? Maybe anti clockwise on the FJ?
