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:

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:

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...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Hey Glenn. If you were going to do the trip again, what would you change? (if anything)   (popcorn)
