    Thanks for your video. Followed a similar route from Adelaide to Wilson’s Promintory on my Teneré 660 back in October of 2022. It’s a great ride including the ferry ride to Sorrento. Bought back some good memories👍

      It's a great ride through that part of the world, just a shame it rained along pretty much the entire GOR. The ferry is a great time saver and avoids a lot of boring (and dangerous) freeway.

      Thanks for jumping across to check it out. It really is one of the most beautiful parts of Australia, it’s a shame most people will never pay it a visit.

    Pity you had so much rain and wind, some of it is quite pleasant on a bike but day after day is miserable.
    I am enjoying the trip, been right round with you binge watching. It’s been great to sit down in a comfortable lounge chair with a cold beer, watching you freeze your arse off, looking miserable.
    Anyway I have decided I have done it now, no use putting myself through all that pain and getting ripped off everywhere I go. Been a great trip so far, bloody good effort. The Honda has done a great job. I live in Brisbane so will keep watching till you get home.

    I really like your storyline and method. Love to hear that V4 , always so smooth . Powerful yet very innocuous to the public. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing

      I plan on doing a short wrap up video after the final episode is done in a week or so. It will give an outline of what I spent, gear I used, and didn't use, fuel consumed etc. Short answer is it was cheaper than I thought it would be going in, but like any long trip, it adds up.

      Yes it did. However by the end of the first day I was back in the groove but it makes a big difference. Like having a pillion almost. I touch on the extra weight in my wrap up video that I'm in the middle of at the moment.

      @@stevestacey5272 There’s a million reasons not to go, you just need to do it. You only get one turn at this life caper. I would suggest keeping the weight as low as possible. Light bulky stuff up high, heavy dense stuff down low.
