Thanks for the vid. I do a lot of solo remote trips with my DR. Watching your vid, made me realise, that if I get stuck in a creek alone with a drowned DR I'll be in a spot of bother getting it out by myself. Immediate thought, carry at least some webbing/rope & a pulley. At least then there could be some slow progress compared to none. Cheers

They are such good bikes! Hard to beat in my opinion! I like them so much I bought myself a new as they aren’t getting imported into Australia anymore. It got a bit of a hard introduction to the world as you can see. Still can’t part with my old one. Don’t think I ever will 😁

Just a word of advice due to multiple big trips including creek crossings !!!! you are on motorbikes so you can ride, ride, and keep on ridin until you find the lwest shortest creek cossings. because spending half the trip pushing,flushing,reparing,drying, recouperating fom failed creek crossings absaloutly destroys the adventure.

I am amazed how capable the DR is!. I bet you all have to rebuild starters and replace wheel bearings and chain...right? Great job BTW! Color me impressed...very impressed! I wonder what other bikes could accomplish that? Can you think of a BETTER CHOICE of motorcycle ? I love my DR650. However at 70 and being a remnant of a man thx to covid, I would not try what you guys did. Yes indeed I am amazed and once again great job! Sub'd & T-Up!
@suziscram8892 Жыл бұрын
It’s great bike hey! Can’t fault it! Have only had to replace the wheel bearings fortunately, but not solely from this ride. I honestly can’t think of a better bike tbh.

Hey guys, nice crazy ride. How is it possible that bikes didn't suck any water? The water was higher than the airbox! Are you using some kind of waterproof filter/sock? I'm so afraid that my bike will suck water and looking for some "bullet-proof" solution (bmw dakar has dry sump, 2.3l oil, kinda pain to change oil on this bike, let alone several times).
