Photos of my bike in Tasmania and somewhere else out on the long road.

The bicycle is not mine!

Those Tenere's look to be in good condition, very nice!

Nice RR, only in Africa. I did'nt realise bikes were allowed in game parks, do you know weather or not one can ride through places like Kruger, Okavango Delta etc?

Hi Marnus: Yes I did the crossing on the DR, put my feet out though and got to the other side with soaked boots. Hi Sprocketbek: You could spend less, main expenses being fuel (no savings here), Accomodation (could do more free camping, if you don't mind not showering) and food (I ate mainly...

The above pics show allot of dirt roads, though in truth of the 15 427kms only about 1200kms would have been on dirt roads (these just make for better pics) - you can however choose to do allot more dirt that I did. I have a 30L Safari Tank on my bike but if you have a 450km range you should be...

The Gibbs River Road which runs throught the heart of the Kimberly in Western Australia was by far the biggest challenge and the most rewarding. It is a 'Gravel Road', with endless corrugations, river crossing, bull dust pits, rocky sections and some really good bits. Though I found it a...

After leaving Townsville I hit my firt bit of real dirt road (between The Lynd Junction and George Town). Though I enjoyed it emensly I finished the day wondering what would have happened if I had come off. There is very little traffic, intense heat and the smell of rotting roadkill to give one...

Leaving the City is always the worst part of the ride for me, but once on the Sydney Newcastle freeway I started to relax and enjoy the ride. I camped at Woko National park on my first night where I was alone amongst the animals. That afternoon I could see the smoke from bush fires on the...

Distance:                15 427 kms Time:                      46 days Ave daily distance: 405 kms (not incl days off) Days Off:                8 days Cost:                      $4800 / R 32 200 I left Sydney on the 27th of August and headed North, with money in my bank account, some time on my...

I remember looking up at the old Tenere as a kid, and thinking "One day"! I now look at this new one and think the same thing.

Martin jy maak my lis. I still have the stock pipe and must admit I have heard jog scooters sounding better.

Sounds like all the 'official people' did their jobs well. Good luck with your sons operation and recovery.

Hey Ganjora, I've got the same bike on 10000kms now. My mods are the 30L Safari Tank, New bars and bash plate only. Next will be a Staintune exhaust as my bike sounds a bit like a Jog scooter at the moment (standard pipe). No problems what so ever - Loving it. Pic below of my bike as new, I have...

Here in Oz there are DR racks and Pannier accesories available, but they come at a high cost. I very much like what I see on your bike, looks way more robust than the commercialy made tubular steel racks. I also see you have a seat pad - Lets face it the DR is not the most comfortable bike...

Hello There.

Hello Katoem! :patch:

I have been dreaming about the Round Oz trip for a while now, and might be heading off soon. June, July,august is the best time of year, as it is cooler and drier in the north. The trip  will be around 17500 kms, and take around 3 months (taking it easy). An over budget would be around $5500...

Put a pic of my bike in the Wild dog Pictures, pics of you & your bike section (The pic is huge though, will shrink image size before posting in the future). Hi Craig, Been in Sydney for 15 months now. I really enjoy Aus, My woman and I were in Brisbane last month for a Week-end nice place.

This pic was taken in Tasmania on the Western Explorer. The white of the road is Silicon from a nearby mine. The western explorer is 100 odd kms of dirt/Silicon road in the west of Tasmania.
