Awesome story, thanks for posting the link.
The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!
Yep, great trip report, loved the bit about the fire and following issues.
Sort of feel sorry for the poor bike.
www.remotemoto.com - a serious site for serious ADV riders, the ultimate resource in the making.
Check out my videos on Youtube including... the 2011 Dusty Butt 1K - Awakino Challenge and others.
Not read the post, but saw a guy on one do the RN 1000 miler this year!
quite a feat, considering the tank range is a tad on the low side...
Motorbike only search
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
In that it is the same pics and almost word for word from the ADVrider site.

I do hope Mr Yamaha has engaged the author to write this and not just helped themselves. Blardy excellent tale though, gets my vote for adventurer of the year!
Has been moved "outback" as it is now last week's news
Click on the supplied link then in the search box at the left put in "XT500" and enter. The story should be at the top of the page, it is called "RIDING FROM DARWIN TO SYDNEY, XT500-STYLE"
Same story and pics can be seen on the ADVrider link as per my last post.
cheers....
well that was well worth the read,,..........just goes to show how little someone can forget where hot exhaust fumes must come out, and not put things in its way ,,,,,,,,bloody awesome
