Having been excited for so long about taking some off-piste trails... The rainy season has had some other ideas.
We're riding our DR's from Indonesia to Malaysia to continue our journey from Sydney to London. There is the 'normal' way on the Trans Kalimantan Highway, and there was this other way that I wanted to try.
You can choose to support us here by showing our videos to people who you think might like them. We also have a Patreon www.patreon.com/ridingoneggshells and RU-vid will let you 'Thank!' me if you want to. Patrons get perks, early videos, and now-time updates (where you're seeing about 2 weeks in the past usually). They also get exclusive content, and can request videos (like Peter and Karin who wanted to know how I'd made my helmet (GoPro and bluetooth y'know).
The builds:
Two DR650's roughly 2014
Laila: Harry's Black Bike
DR650 2012 (I think) with many mods
Lynx fairing by Britannia Composites. Great product.
Safari 37 litre tank
Mosko Moto Backcountry 35 panniers with quick release backing. Also, AWESOME. No rattle, seconds on and off, easy to find the place to put it.
Pelican Top Case with Caribou mounting system. Unsure on this one. It bounces, as it only has two forward points of contact, so I've installed a thong dampener so it doesn't bang any more. While it has locks, it also has standard bolt heads accessible, and I reckon I could rip it off forcibly but I won't try.
Tyres Australia D606 rear, Tractionator Dualventure DV tyres front. D606 is great, Tractionator not.
Montana 700i with satellite tracking beacon and SOS and messaging, can share location with home and call for help in remote places
Airbox and carbs modded
Teknik suspension, highly rate it
Safari Seat - all these seats hurt I can't pick them apart
BnB Bash Plate
Risers
Doubletake adventure mirrors
Tatanka: Liss Eggy Bike
Lots the same
DR650 2014 with mods:
Safari 37-litre tank
JNS LED headlight
Yolk-tinted windshield
Doubletake adventure mirrors
Andystrapz panniers (they do the job and nothing more)
Yellow second-hand pelican case, bolted ingeniously to the bike with buttonheads underneath so only removable by opening the box and removing the camera and reaching through the foam. Works rather well, if I do say so myself.
Liss' bike has been lowered in the rear, but she doesn't want to lower the front.
