Motorcycle Adventure | Unassisted Simpson Desert Crossing

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This was a crazy unassisted Simpson Desert. Nugget's bike falls to pieces along the way, Alex breaks his back, Philippe cracks his nose, Mal breaks his ribs and I film the mayhem.

    Man, As someone that's broken his back while on 2 wheels I can see in Alex's eyes exactly what he's feeling. That being said, I was not in a remote location but I refused to believe I was seriously injured and I pushed on as long as I could. It actually made me uncomfortable to see. I know exactly how he's feeling and the slow and ever building realization through increased pain and the depression of realizing whats happened as the fog of denial lifts, is like a bad dream. The pain seemed to last 10+ years.

    I'm always surprised at how many set out for the Simpson without good sand tires and a bit more practice with the bike loaded up heavy. I crossed it back in 74~75 i think with my Dad in a Nissan Patrol 4X4. We didn't run into anybody until Poppels Corner. The old French line looks like a track down to the beach it must be taking a load of traffic now.
