Ive never thought of the bike as heavy until I moved around my friends KTM's in the woods when they fell. I think the DRZ is heavy compared to them but then my bike rides 3 hours to the trails and back they had to buy 50k USD trucks to haul their 14k bikes. Ill keep my DRZ for all weather all sorts. You do seem to have made massive strides since I first saw you. The only thing I would suggest is when your making those hill climbs you should get your elbows out and arms down move your butt over that seat and get the position correctly dont worry about the fall. Its all easier said then done I know give Adam Reimans videos a watch he really started getting into instruction over the last year or so and hes a fellow Aussie so that ought to count for something.

Hey mate, great video. It's always good to see the Everyman out there having a crack. I re-watched part one before this one and thought I would mention a handy bit of gear I always carry is a small diameter tie down strap ( say 30mm/ 1inch), but the longest i can find, 5-6 m, because when running solo if you find yourself on a hill and have to manhandle the bike, get as close to the obstacles as you can and you can tie one end to you bars or fork and the other to a tree or root etc, that way if you fall or have to let go of the bike, worse case it wont fall/ slide far. The straps roll up small enough to go in a pocket or can zip tie to the frame etc. Cheers for the time you spend out of your ride time to set cameras up and all the time editing so we can come along for the ride 👍
