Long Way Up Motorcycle trip

A spoof gone wrong. Between a camera failure (we lost some of the best footage), microphone issues (most of our on bike audio was never picked-up), and an incident that removed all chance of us filming the filler footage later in the week, the video looks nothing like what I originally planned. Sorry for the echo in some of the dubbed-in voice over but it was recorded indoors. I hope you still enjoy what we put together for you. Special thanks to Triumph for the great 2pc riding suit, gloves, and boots, and a very special thank you to Akuma Helmets for providing the helmet that saved my head.

Here is it 6 months after the crash and I still have numb spot on my lower back and keep getting electrical shock type pain as the nerve slowly heal. Still had fun though.

Nothing. It was a poke at the Long Way Round/Down series.

at minute 7 did he land it wrong or did he hit a rock or something that put him dead in his tracks?

Good vid guys.

[2WF]

Thanks Terramax.

Apparently there was a rock that was big enough to center-punch the skid plate of the bike and crack the outer case as well. When the bike landed and compressed the suspension down that was all she wrote.

oops

[Terramax]

right, I'll remember that. Off Roading is like a game of whack-a-mole. Gotcha.

[2WF]

Only if you don't watch out for the sneaky rocks that like to pop out of the ground when you least expect them to.....kind of like one of those "Whack-a-Mole" games.

[Terramax]

I've yet to go proper off road on my DRZ400 so now I know what to expect (gulp)

[2WF]

BTW....this was really my first time riding off road....in case that wasn't completely obvious by the video. - Kenn
