The biggest challenge in riding in the south of WA is boredom and a sore butt. Its about endurance. The roads tend to be straight and run straight into the sun. There is little stimulus as all you do is belt along at high speed . You can often do any speed the bike is comfortable with. The Southern Cross to Kal region is more remote. But if you're on a main road....theres usually just one....theres lots of traffic and need help. Modern bikes and tyres are reliable .

Thats not the OutBack. Its open because they bulldozed everything to have wheat farms. It's why they have drought and salinity problems. Thats the most developed part of Western Australia. Theres 2 million people and hundreds of towns in that square Perth, Kalgoorlie Esperance . All major roads are crawling with traffic including caravans in their thousands. Its not the outback. All petrol stations are close together. Theres cafes in every little town. Theres RAC towing. Theres farmers to ask for help. With a reliable modern vehicle its safe andceasy. Roos come out at dawn and dusk only. They have set paths where they cross roads. The 1000 mile in one hit is hard, but not the location.

I’ve done a couple of Iron Butt rides back in the UK. It’s harder on your body than most people think and takes a few days to recover from. Did it on GS1200 the first time. I was knackered physically after 600miles. Ok mentally, but the GS was good for the first 500miles, I was sore by 600miles and didn’t want to ever see it again after 1024miles. Next time I did it was on a Rocket 111 tourer. I had done just over 1000miles when I finished in 19hrs give or take, but felt fresh enough to have done another 500 and made it a Butt Burner. I wasn’t prepared for it, but could have easily done it. I didn’t stay and ride the 300miles home after I finished. It was an organised event with specific start and end points raising money for the UK British Legion. It’s a great sense of achievement and knowing what you went through you have my respect and congratulations.

You wouldn`t find me riding a motorcycle after dark in the Aussi outback. Hit any of the wildlife and you probably won`t survive it.

Great effort. I would of been at the pub in Esperance for the night. Only because I'm a soft ass rider hahahah 😂

Bungees are so scary. My second one and it doesn’t get any easier. What makes us do these crazy things ?

Well done

Great part of the country. 😊

He doesn't sound Australian !! Midlands accent I'd say ? West midlands ? My brother lives around this area somewhere south west of Perth

Fantastic effort..Great to see people out and about where most don't dare go.

Great effort - I'm working up my distances to tackle an Iron Butt. What distances were you looking at between each stop/checkpoint?

i couldnt think of anything worse 😆

Merry Christmas and happy New Year 😃👍

😂

Congrats mate!

Interesting content

New friend here

😂 brilliant, well done Dave, trip of a life time ❤

Rachel martin Pinch for night camping last night

at least you got to the other side the ferries usually lose power, crash into the shore, lose their anchors ,worst than third world ferries

Absolutely beautiful mate. A shame that old bridge at Ross is now closed.

😂

Lovely and green

Loved it Dave well done, great how your lens bent the light house and flag pole, great images from the drone.

Well I don’t need to go now you filmed that brilliantly, looked a fab trip, glad you speeded up Bevs driving or I might have been sat up all night watching it 😅

Beautiful country isn't it!!!!!

Awesome video! Thank you for documenting your HBF run! I'm pretty hyped to do the 12km HBF RUN for this year :))

The editing is actually so good 👍

Getting good at editing 😁🤟 love it!

We have reached 40 Subscribers Thankyou for supporting the channel.

Great footage, definitely going faster now, glad your still dropping it, makes good viewing 😜

Brilliant

Cool video. My first bike was a wr250r, I’ve always wanted to try the 300L to see how they compared, it’s a shame Yamaha doesn’t make a wr300r. But ether way I love all things dual sport, and hope to get another soon. It’s the greatest way to experience life on 2 wheels. Also I’m a proud owner of a 2022 fxlrs 🤘 just subbed, keep up the good work and ride safe, cheers from California 🤙

Looks amazing Dave, it surprises me what the bike is capable of, some of those ditches and slopes look quite challenging. Have you come across any wildlife out there, kangaroos etc. nice river, carry a hand line to see if you can catch anything interesting, a small lure or worm might do the trick 😜

Love watching these boys down under, ‘Live to Ride’

Bloody hard work picking them up, good job on that slope 👍

Time to buy a metal detector Dave 😅

Brilliant video well done, loved the ride home as much as you did 👏👏👏

Your hills make me laugh 😂

Looks lovely and flat, well done 👏

Funny big hill lol, thought you came from Devon Uk 😜

12k Dave well done mate, was it hot looked like it, enjoy it don’t push it, setting me a target lol

Thanks for vid. I just got a 300L & about the same skill level. I wish I had others to ride with & same awesome terrain. Keep ‘em coming!

Nice one Dave, looks good fun, very picturesque 👏

Enjoyed that, nice one 👍

Awesome 👏🏻

We enjoyed watching that ride Dave, brought back memories, wasn’t it shut when we visited last. It’s nice that you can ride all year round over there, not a privilege we share in the UK.

Beautiful 👏 👏 👏
