    It goes without saying for most but certainly the best Adventure biking channel in existence to date. The overall quality alone is astounding.

    Looks like some super challenging mud conditions. I've ridden in that in Kansas that doesn't seem to believe in paved roads. My friend told me it had been raining and I couldn't ride to his house. I didn't believe him. the mud taught me to believe him. Super deep, slippery, and capable of burying a motorcycle. Looked a lot like these conditions.

    I love the narrative and the narrator. Nice story, nicely told and good info shared. I watch a number of adventure riding videos from all over, Europe, the US, Australia and you always come out on top; You desribe the people and the bikes well and kindly and you are not too unkind to the KTMs. From my readings, it is obvious that the japanese are more reliable, less prone to stupid breakdowns. The DR650s, the Teneres, the Honda 650s are all maybe less exciting on paper, but oh so much more reliable. I am getting into adventure riding after a very long hiatus and one thing is obvious to me, I'll stay away from the KTMs and get a bike with proven reliability, like an old DR650 modified or a new Tenere.
    Ahain thanks for telling such a great story and forgive me for nipping at the !austrians!

    You need to list the all the bikes. That 250 had my name on it. I did big sections alone in the 80's on an XT600Tenere. Classic mistake no new rear tire when I left the Alice, Hit mud just as you described with less traction than I should have had and down I would go. Picking up that big tank sucker in that slop, by myself was almost impossible. Dropped the bike in a gutter full of mud and as I followed my bike on my knees and elbows ass first, my helmet acted like a jet boat bucket - in through the chin and round the top of the inside of the lid and then mud squirted down my back inside my jacket.
