Well they don't have cooling fans or a thermostat ,so you need to not rev it hard and for along time ,if your not moving it will boil ! You need to have momentum going up instead of entering them to slow, You'll bog nearly everytime .And with no airflow yes it will boil and light throttle going down them too, Momentum is the KEY ! It will draw coolant back to radiator once it cools down ,maybe stop riding the clutch so much and be in a lower gear to as you will cook the clutch plates ,I think you got the idea about 2/3 in and you enjoyed it more

The seat is a seat concepts low. Called something like that. I'm short... The padding on top is an Air Hawk.

How much riding experience did you have prior to this? For someone who appears to have little it was a huge trip to do…. Lucky you had support

Tons on road. Not a lot off road. Don't confuse experience and caution. Attempted the crossing with two friends a few months earlier, and one was air lifted out with a broken leg. Wasn't looking to do the same...

Huge trip! Lots of challenges to overcome with your friends 4WD. Very well done. Did you have a laptop you were downloading footage to each night? Or just lots of memory cards? I enjoyed watching the long sections of footage without music always playing. Felt like I was experiencing the journey with you!

Cheers mate. I had a USB-C card reader and 2TB SSD. Managed to do everything with my phone (Samsung Galaxy). Took the card from the GoPro and copied the day's footage to my phone via the card reader, then copied the files from my phone to the SSD. Bit of an ordeal to do every day, but not too painful. Did all the editing on a computer when I got home. If I recall correctly, I got the idea for this process from Rozalyn Veersma. Pretty sure she did a video covering how she did all her video work. I think she was editing and publishing via her phone...

This was the first time I had ever ridden on sand, so can't comment on how it was compared with other bikes. The tyres were Dunlop D606 front and rear. No problems with them...

How long you been off road biking before this trip? Also did you take padding out of the seat, it looks lower than factory?

Road biking? I live in Sydney. Trailered the bike to Tibooburra, rode from there via Cameron Corner, Innamincka, Betoota, and obviously Birdsville. Seat is a Seat Concepts low seat (I'm short), but I've put a Airhawk inflatable thing on top for comfort.

I'm surprised it took 9 months for a know-it-all all to surface. Went with a 'support vehicle' for a reason, so may as well use it. Getting 'rescued' wasn't luck, champ. The support vehicle breaking down has nothing to do with not being prepared either. Shit happens... Didn't see any others cars carrying a spare diff with them... We had a Sat phone (and other safety gear) for that exact scenario. The only luck was getting a cheap tow vs paying a lot for the recovery. Look forward to seeing your heroes guide to crossing the Simpson air soon.

EVO Adventure. Standard Adventure, not the high ones. I got these cause they were a better reach for me when standing. Seated they're maybe a touch high, but the trade off to be in a better position standing is worth it (for me).

Thanks very much for your vid mate. Myself and a mate are booked in to do a tour in the opposite direction on the same DRZ400’s next May and I’m really trying to get an indication of what it will be like, yours is the best thing I’ve seen to show all the different sorts of terrain and the pure relentlessness I think we’re going to face. Thanks again liked the longer format.
