  • A highlight reel from our 2 weeks overlanding Australia.
    We have been on the Road since the beginning of December 2018. Started in Sydney and hoping to finish in London around September 2019. All we have are our 2 Suzuki DR650s. This is Episode 1 of our little adventure.
    Australia... A massive country with stupidly long stretches of straight roads. But there is so so much more to it than that. We jam packed in a lot into our first 2 weeks of this adventure of ours. Wild camping in the snowy mountains, sunrises at The 12 Apostles, sunsets at Uluru. Hanging out with old and new friends. This is just a little highlight reel of our action packed time.
    Enjoy

      Tanks mate, I have watched loads of your vids too. We are actually running with the motoz tractionator gps tyres. Got around 8000km out of them, the back will need replacing soon but only because of the Stuart highway and 45 degree heat

    Just subscribed last night, binge watching your adventures now :) You are a little lean on your hashtags if i may say so. While you are not riding Harleys, tagging it and the PanAm for instance might open up a whole new subscriber pool to you. Same for Honda and Africa Twin, BMW blablabla, etc. Generally, i think adventure riders are rather interested in the journey and not so much into what specific bike you ride. Just my .02$ :) Ride safe 🤙

      Hi mate, we actually just tool local ferries through Indonesia and skipped Singapore as its quite tricky. We entered Malaysia on borneo and for us it was a great idea and really interesting. We hope to have a new video out soon. Are you also travelling Aus to Europe?

    Just wanted to ask if a Honda crf450L would be a good bike to ride around Australia?

    • @Northandleftabit
      @Northandleftabit  4 роки тому

      To be honest, I haven't ridden the crf450L. I have heard the US version has a bit more grunt than the Aussie one. Either way, I think it's the perfect size bike for a trip around Australia. Not the most fun on the boring freeways, but great when you get on the dirt. Check out this guy's video where he went from the UK down to Morocco on one. Pretty sure the UK specs are the same as AUS

      Too much overloud so called 'music' is in most t.v.shows and posts these days. Only speaking for myself but it really is getting intrUribe and bloody annoying.😱
