Our speed ranged from 60kph to 110 ish ;) Probably twice we thought we would need it, but we always came across a fuel stop in the middle of nowhere. Do you know your route yet? Cheers Matt

Planning on getting an 800 myself at the end of the year and you’ve inspired me for a bit of a central trip i think.

Good to see the Wheelbarrow getting a dust off. Was on the Oodnadatta couple of weeks ago – wasn’t too bad, but not sure I’d do it on a bike. Still, its better than the WA end of the Tanami.

I just blew another chunk of cash at an outfitter’s place on new camping equipment. Why is it that when gear fails, it brings 4 or 5 other pieces with it? Somehow my tent ended up with a 2 foot tear in the side and the seam on my sleeping bag ripped open, my stove died, my headlamp blew up, and my thermarest won’t hold air anymore?!?!?! Maybe my ex-girlfriend broke into my place… haha.

Anyhow, my one question is (and bear with me here) how tall are you? I’m a bit thoughtful of the seat height for the 800 and I’m hoping it won’t be too tall. I recognize the shorter seat, and the rear shock can be dialed down but I have to ask the question. I’ve been watching “The Long Way Down” and I use it as my inspiration. Where are you guys located? I was thinking of doing a trip through Europe, down into Australia but haven’t looked into the scope yet. I think it’d be an epic trip for sure. Thoughts?

Cheers
