Been laid low for 4 months due to smashing my knee in a dirt bike incident. Doc fitted me with new jewelry, plate 9 screws and long process to walk again as the incident also ripped my hamstring muscles off the bone in my left leg. Didn't know if I could ride again but yesterday picked up my...

Few POV videos I did when riding around Tasmania. Had a couple of dry days mostly wet. Still love this part of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrtuZMdy8yA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY21sb65H6M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDsNmFcewlI...

Tenere recal in Australia XT1200Z. Doesnt look too major. http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1056140

Got myself a DRZ400E so my Tenere wouldn't feel so alone. The perfect couple each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Had an absolute blast on the DRZ going through the Otways. Nothing the big 10 wouldn't of handled but in 40 degree heat it was nice to have a bike less then half the weight...

Had a great ride today through some testing trails with a mate. Heading up a snotty hill I took the wrong line and dropped the bike radiator side. The Fan bracket bent slightly and jammed the fan against the radiator. My mate and I got the bike up and over the hill only to notice the fan wasn't...

Last weekend I attempted to plot an ambitious route through the Big River area East of Melbourne. This is a favourite haunt for trail, enduro bikes and 4X4 cars. I scoured the maps and Youtube videos to see a path that I would be able to take the big Tenere and be able to come home in one...

Nice video of a super Tenere trail riding in NZ. Its by EDOG who has a channel dedicated to Adventure riding. I would of posted this in Video section but it kept giving me errors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vIuSEddMbPQ

Not often I get the chance to ride for five days but last week I did just that. With a mate, I put my money up to ride the Snowy region of NSW and the high country of Victoria. Taking is some of the best twisty roads possible. Their wasn't going to be any dirt this time as most of the group were...

I got this hack from a farm in Bathurst NSW. The old farmer used it to get around on his farm. Needless to say it was in really bad shape. Its not a full rebuild but it has had a lick of paint, engine freshen up, upholstery done. All electrics and carbs and airbox replaced with CR carbs. It has...

I was getting in some practice for the Tenere Tragic rally next March so thought I would do a local run up to Daylesford. Its about 80Km of dirt. You can go by sealed rd but where is the fun in that. After talking to some dirt bike riders at the entry of the track I was assured I would make it...

After a long day riding to Licola on twisty roads and not being able to keep up, a couple of us headed up for a little dirt. I wasn't able to go further, due to one bloke riding a road bike but it wet my apatite for when the roads start to open up. :) Tenere 1200 Bit of Dirt Just a few extra...

Got this camera for Fathers Day and have become totally absorbed in it. Trying to fine new and better ways to capture the moment. My attempts so far. This is an interesting angle as it gives a view of the wheel and suspension workings. Really cool. Sample video on how it runs...

Video speaks louder then words. Whitfield Rd http://youtu.be/ikQ0bX5oX6g Skyline http://youtu.be/38S_nvoqzIs Black Spur http://youtu.be/Mi6mewH5v3M Jamieson Rd http://youtu.be/iD_H-y6ecEA

First real ride since my off. A friend did the video and did a nice job of it to show the Proms beauty. Wombats and kangaroos are prolific in the area but to my dismay and friends mocking I managed not to see them. :-[ The Prom is so pristine and protected against development that to camp there...

I got my bike back after my mishap. $700 dollars to drive my bike 600km form Jindabyne. NO real issue with that but when I went to inspect the bike and gear my helmet that wasn't damaged in the crash as I didn't hit my head has been severely damaged and my Spot Connect has been stolen off the...

I had booked an adventure bike course for the 4th and 5th of may in Batemans Bay NSW. Just to get to the course would take two days of riding as I was planning not to take the Hwy. My plan was to head up what we call the high country. In the US most of you would laugh at what we call mountains...

Weather was going to be great so ended up taking the day off work and heading out to a road I wanted to try. Not a difficult Rd as I am still new to dirt but the scenery is wonderful. I did close to 700km this day and about 300km was on dirt. Jamieson Licola Rd. Very well kept rd but shale...

Hi everyone. Been a Tenere xt1200 rider for two weeks and road 1800km. Can't get off this thing. Got my heart set on a couple of trips. Never been a dirt rider or an adventure bike rider. Had a steady diet of sporty bikes. Other day I took the wrong direction on this road I was on and it...
