    Hi Josh. How good is that track! Its Rohan on the CRF450L. My mate is in recovery mode and his bike was recovered. Big lesson for sure in hot weather to keep up fluid and electrolytes. Good meeting you all. Cheers!

    Great trip. My first off-road adventure was on my Himalayan 411 - part of which was the section from Bluff Hut to the Howitt plains. It was a miracle i didn't drop the bike: i was crapping bricks on that last water crossing where your mate dropped it! Thanks for the memories!

    The little WR just rolls over that rough stuff with ease, just love how you can go anywhere, carries heaps of fuel and not worry about if you drop it or get in a jam. Only down side is the open road, well that's what my AT is for. Might change the gearing on mine, 14/49 is good hey?

    • @AusMoto
      @AusMoto  Рік тому +1

    Looks like an epic trip. Just wondering if any of the crew you were with may have a GPX of the route you took?. Looking at heading to the HC in March and apart from Blue Rag and Dargo we don't really have a plan.
