Old Coach Road, What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 

Well done for having a go at it , Practice standing up more on the pegs if poss , this allows the bike to move around underneath you and a bit more speed will help the bike to go over those boulders rather than deflecting off them at lower speeds. Momentum is your friend 😀

Well done for giving it a go. I think you would benefit hugely from some training. Also it would make a good video 👍

Good effort Steve .. get back in the dry, stand up and you’ll smash it 👍👍

Well done for giving it a good go mate....I think as you said the amount and size of the 'rubble' that has been deposited on that incline have made it very difficult to overcome ....but you did your best and no harm in admitting defeat on this occasion ....maybe next time ?

Don’t beat yourself up steve ,I tried to ride stuff on my 701 that I rode on my enduro bike and you definitely feel the weight and loose a bit of traction easily….momentum is on your side but mostly weight is against you with the 701 it’s a heavy bike. You don’t want a 350 you want a 501 there’s nothing between the two weight wise but a 501 has longer legs more linear than the 450 that will get you there and over the trail and then back home. Maybe not as comfortable as the 701 on the long roads but it’s a good light adventure bike with a few mods.look at the oz vids on utube they love them

I think one you definitely need some adventure bike training it will be money we'll spent, two ride with another rider will give you more confidence in difficult terrain, and three momentum is your friend 👍

All about having a go. maybe a 890 r? lol

You are going to slow on the rough stuff and making it harder for yourself u need more momentum to keep moving

Local too me ..ive done it many times but always opposite way last year did it on my himalayan standard tyres and i just made it buuuut i can tell you i was sweating like a goodn🥵🥵🥵...your dead right its very steep and loose rocks awfull atb ps other entrance is best way in
