  • I went searching for a full size model of the Millennium Falcon from Star wars fame on my XT250 alone (big mistake), when I decided to head down hill to find a camp that is when it all started to go wrong .

    Good to see that you got out ok, and that you eventually found your gloves.
    Don’t ride without gloves.

    Sometimes, simple is just right. Getting back to the basics of touring and camping is good for mental health. Makes me appreciate how much I don't need to complicate my set up.
    I'm surprised you survived really. You don't have $20,000 worth of essential lithium solar set up!

      Hi mate you are so right, I love basic camping , I do a bit of hiking so cut the gear in half again, and get home safe and sound , When I first came to Australia ,I toured Queensland on a SR500 for nearly 2 years loved that time sleeping on the beaches

    Great video Peter, I often do Sappers as it’s pretty much my back yard but that hill is definitely a challenge! Full credit to you tackling that not only solo but fully loaded ! Braver than me mate!

    Good old sappers road, people who haven’t ridden it and only watched it on YT probably don’t realise how steep it is but if you keep left on the 1st bit you had trouble with and keep some momentum you should be good, previously I used to take the right side with a killed motor and using the clutch to help slow down but the left is def better

      @@peterhewitson71 yeah, I know what you mean, I get myself into strife like that on my DR 650. I try not to go too crazy out on my own and usually ride with my mate. I just put a In Reach on order, just in case. I'm 63 now but sometimes I forget how old I am lol.

    Beautiful ride and drone shots. What are u flying these days Peter ? Did not quite hear what u said. P. S. Was hoping to see Chubaka come out of the Falcon😂😂🤪. The path way was quite rough!!!!!! Like the fact that u did not try and edit out the falls. Certainly hope u are ok, but it was all part of the adventure.
