    I much prefer camping to trying to find accomadation every night and this can sometimes be more dangerous trying to push on into a town near dark and battling pissed drivers and Roos.
    Plus an adventure ride shouldn’t cost a million dollars I have budgeted on previous rides and after paying for accomadation the budgets blown and I’ve carted a tent etc. for thousands of km for no reason. Sometimes a motel or pub stay can’t be avoided if the chance arises to stay in cheap accomadation and it’s pouring rain I’m going to take it.

    I think the point to make on this ride is to prepare to camp every night so your not caught out with no food , water etc.

    …. and most importantly enjoy the adventure ;)

    I had these tyres on when I bought my Tenere , they had done 2200km when I picked it up. I rode 300km home and was very impressed on the road.
    I then road to Sydney ( 780km) and swapped to knobbies for the high country ride

    I then put them on and rode to Comboyne to meet Greg and Chicken ( 300km ).

    So all up they have done 3580km on the tar.

    They are a great rode tyre for sure , heaps of all round grip.

    I rode from Comboyne through a very wet Bago to Micknmelds house. This was a different story. In the red clay I lacked traction and they filled the grip quickly which made things a bit sketchy.
    On the gravel fire roads they were great , heaps of traction and good fun !!
    Just avoid clay TT and I reckon you’ll love’em !!!

    They are still only half worn so I think they are good for about 8000km ;)

    Look forward to your thoughts on then :)

    I got sick of all these supposedly motorcycle specific gloves letting me down and costing the earth. Heard there was some good gloves at bunning. I think they’re called ironsomething landscaper or something along those lines. Around $30 and are excellent. Have done a lot more work than any pair of mx gloves I’ve owned and are still good.

    Ironclad is the brand and landscaper is the model , I’ve looked at them too Bundy but never tried. I can see a business write off in the making mate !!!

    I have used Dirt Paw and Polar Paw . The polar ones were a bit thicker as I was wearing through the grip area at an alarming rate. I seem to wear them through where they only have one layer so don’t get more longevity as a result of the dual layer. The latest fox ones I have have plastic on the knuckles but the grip has still worn through. I think they could all do with stronger lining on the grip. You have to be a bit careful with some types of elastic as I glanced the header with the glove while repairing a damaged radiator and it melted and virtually stuffed a new pair of gloves. :(

    Same as mate , the grip area wears very fast with the dirt paw.

    I’ll have a look at the Bombers and platinum. Cheers

    Anyone used the pro grip ?

    The Mororo single looked fun Nick ;) . The camera gets a great perspective. The trail was a bit reminiscent of Kokoda at the cells. Lots of sticks and vines at eye height. Love your work. ;) How do you go when the strap gets stretched and the lens on the goggles get scratched are there many spares available.

    All parts are avalible mate , it was my first question too !!
