Victorian High Country Motorcycle Adventure - THE HARD WAY - Part 5

Two Suzuki DRZ400E's take on three major hill climbs. Blue Rag Range Track, Mount Gibbo Track and Mount Pinnibar Track to complete this epic adventure ride.
A five day, 1250km Victorian High Country adventure ride onslaught. We chose the hardest tracks on offer and linked them all together to create 'The Hard Way' route whilst being fully loaded up. This ride was the hardest ride I have completed as an adventure ride.

    An awesome adventure, you two seem to get on great and that comes across in the footage and makes for entertaining viewing. The footage is inspiring and makes me wish we had trails like that here in the U.K. but unfortunately we don’t. I’m already looking forward to your next adventure, thanks for inviting us all along on this series 👍

    Great video of the high country mate, I lived 20ks out of corryong on a 50 acre property, I would ride my old xr600r Honda all over Gibbo and pinnabar and across the Murray to Tom groggin reserve and elsewhere I really miss that high country riding, I moved away 6 years ago miss it so much,keep up the good work.

Cheap rooms and secure bike parking, but more importantly they know the best places to ride. There’s also an excellent little bike museum to check out while you’re there.
