That guy is not wishing he's on a DRZ instead of his T7 :) You should do a video where you ride one (maybe unladen) and give your impressions. It's a beast of a bike. You seem to be doubting it because it's a bigger bike although it has 20 more HP and a lot more torque. The snake looks to be an Eastern Brown Snake. Deadly. Keep uploading! I hope to see your channel keep growing. Maybe reach out to other KZbinrs to assist helping your content be promoted by the algorithm. I like and watch every one and share it to my riding buddies.

Went from Silverton through those gates but then went across to Tibooburra then to Camerons. Then went to Merty Merty and north on the old Strezlecki track to Inaminka, Birdsvile back to Arkaroola then straight south through Yunta to Morgan and home. Dosen't look like Riecks rd has improved since we were there. Thanks for showing me a couple of other tracks I will have to explore next time I'm up that way.
