Great video. Really appreciate your commentary and doing a freeze frame of the road signs, etc so we can get our bearings. My family tried to drive to Alice when I was small, but the heat killed the car on the far side of Coober Pedy, forcing us to turn back, and we limped back 100's of Km home to SA (driving slowly, regularly re-filling what was left of radiator with super precious water). One day I'd love to travel all the way around and across Australia ... One day ...

Good stuff Steve. It's obviously rained a bit out there with all the shrubs and grasses growing. That'd be why there are hardly any hoppers or emus near the tracks as they come to the drains for the last of the greenery when it's dry. I reckon it's a bit of luck to have some rain where it hardly gets a drop of H2o. Yes, it can make going a bit tricky but that just makes it more of a challenge you and better viewing for us stuck at home......

This has brought back fond memories for me . I did pretty much this ride starting from Kalgoorlie meandering me way all over and eventually up to Darwin and of course back again visiting other areas and back roads on the way back to Kalgoorlie. This was done on my Harley and towing a trailer way back in 1990 when the Gulf war was going on and petrol prices went through the roof. I remember paying $2.30 a liter at the Alice and nearly choked on it . Some of the roads were that bad I had to remove the trailer and skull drag it and the bike through bull dust and loose sand in some cases a couple of hundred meters at a time. The corrugations had to be seen and experienced to believe how truly destructive they can be. And by contrast sometimes ride and tow at over 100 km/h But this was the best adventure I have ever had by far and would love to do it again but now too old to try repeat it. My only regret was doing this ride by myself and not with other like minded mates. About three years ago I did the central road from Kalgoorlie to Darwin in less than 48 hours pretty much non stop apart from filling the fuel from a 44 gallon drum in the van just to pick up a motorcycle and trailer I had bought on eBay. That was a fantastic experience and great drive too but most of the road at least when I went on it was pretty darn good and certainly better than some of our highways.

Hi mg, I thought you would have been a little curious when we passed each other. I check my oil regularly (very regularly)...it doesn't normally use any oil between services (every 10,000km). The engine has done 100,000km. The bike has started to use a bit of oil but not that much that it is a concern. We got to the Olgas/Uluru lookout and I had an oil warning light come on. The oil wasn't low but because i started the bike on a lean i think the engine thought it was low. With 1,200km of Outback to transit through i didnt want to take a chance. I went back and bought a litre of oil (and used 500ml of it). JP and Chris should start their own Channel...this one is all about me. Thanks for watching..next vid (final) out on Friday (I think).
