What a fabulous trip Richard. That KLR must know its own way around every dirt road in Eastern Australia by now.

Not everyone's cup of tea but I love riding through country like that, even on the FJ.

Great vid.

Hope you can make it to Bermagui.

Great video Richard, gives a bit of an idea of how vast this country is and shows a little bit of what's out there even though you didn't venture to far inland. Millions of acres of land out there but you can always rely on the locals to come out to meet you to keep you on your toes and keep things interesting.

The KLR seems to soak up the corrugations pretty good, you can see how rough the road is in places but doesn't seem to affect the camera footage at all. How do these bikes handle the punishment, can they take a bit of a beating or are they more road orientated, would love to get into dirt riding again but don't think the body could handle it.

Too young to be old but old enough to know better.

I have done a few mods to the suspension on my bike but even in standard form these old tech bikes can handle just about anything and they are cheap

Loved the footage Richard, looked like a great trip and the vast amount of land travelled.

Loved the Sat Tracker info.

What's a Spotwalla?

So this was only going to the rally? Can't wait to see if you have any further video of the rally itself. Or the trip home. Great stuff.  Keep it coming.  (popcorn)
