    This video stood out. You guys were ripping on the track, climbed big red and finally polished off some beers. Oh and the backpack turned up. Definitely one to remember

    Looks great Tom & Guys
    Yes that WR is a strong little Engine & bike, I like the 701 but after what you have done Tom, I think a 501 maybe the go.
    Thanks very much for sharing all your adventures I am long time viewer & we love watching all your adventures
    Stay safe Cheers

    Great vid there Tom. So interesting seeing those familiar tracks ridden over at speed LOL.
    I was 10 days later (Madigan line) in my trusty Jimney and traveled with a Darryl Beaty mob and their mammoth Iveco support truck. So great being out in the desert. 👌

    The guy who pushed in those tracks over the sand dunes must have had a chip on his shoulder with bikes. “I’ll fix those pesky bikes. I’ll put a bend in the track just over the crest. Let’s see them jump that!” 😂

    A chain is the length of a cricket pitch, wickets to wickets. 22 yards. So they measured that distance in 22 yard increments.

    It might be the perspective from the camera, but it looks like some of those crests are a bit blind for the speed you’re taking them.
