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.
Watch this video for a video of the build and prep: • Preparing for the WORL...

Lis, a tip for moving the bike backwards, hold the front brake on and push the bike forward so that the suspension compresses, then stop pushing and as the front suspension springs back up, let the brake go. It will throw the bike backwards a little, keep doing it and you will move backwards.

Well done on that mud, it's like riding on ice, especially when the tyres fill completely. On a completely different tangent, I guess you've seen Kinga was robbed in Canada? Literally a brazen daylight robbery, by the cctv footage. Be safe, ride safe.

Great episode. Don't know why but this one really had me smiling. Unusual to see Harry being the one falling over more. I'm in awe of your language skills! I think the locals really appreciate when travellers at least try to converse in the native language and then smiles appear and doors open. The mud looked impossible … good call turning around, especially when you showed on the map how much farther you had to go. The impatience (or should that be careful schedule keeping?) from Lis at the end was very visible… Harry just gets lost in conversation and photo ops!

Hi, I'm loving your adventures, wish I had done something like that when I was younger. I'm in my late 60's and have done three tours through Vietnam with Vietnam Motorbike Tours and they were fantastic. I'm going to Northern Thailand to do an 8 day tour with Big Bike Tours in April this year, so that's the closest I can get to your wonderful tour. Your later posts in Northern Thailand have been great, gives me an idea of where I'm off to.

Wow good work!!Deep in the slime!! Once those tyres are caked every inch you move forward is an achievement! Some stylish wipeouts though, nicely done, I suggest rolling over a couple more times when you fall off, just for added effect 😂 and then there’s that one local guy with the completely overloaded bike who somehow, by some kind of miracle (teleportation?) got as far as he did without losing his load… what lovely people you meet though and such an incredible trip!

Good effort guys 👍 that mud looked Hellish. Although you'd have thought by now that when Harry says " lets go off-piste, it'll be fun", the alarm bells in Liss's head would start ringing 😂🤣😂. Great fun for scribble scrobblers to watch, I'd imagine it was a case of 'Type 2' fun for you both? I would have got off my bike and kissed the tarmac when it came 😂🤣You both looked a little taller at The Equator, careful you don't go too far and fall off the edge 🗺🌎

Hey guys you just keep raising the bar, pushing envelope so to speak. If that's not an adventure I don't Know what is. Great viewing and Harry, your language skills are amazing. You're both legends ... By the look of the map when you turned back off the clay road, if it had stopped raining you would still be if you didn't turn back. Good decision. Till next... stay safe and happy

We joke we call that "technical terrain"..ie, slippery ass clay which that reminds me of, deep sand dunes, Boulder fields god I hate those 😖 Which tires were those?, I don't know if you installed rimlocks on the bikes, but did you try knocking the air down to about 16-18 pounds in the rears????👍🥃

Did you let a bit of air out of the tyres for the mud? Makes a huge difference to the traction in that stuff. Obviously need to balance the pressure with your load.

@johnclowes3502 Год назад
Not wanting to speak out of school but, considering your speed and and terrain I would be letting out air to at half of what you are at. You foot print is not adequate for the wet clay. The terrain is very slick so there is no prospect of a flat. The tear is the first one to drop.then just pump it back up when your thru the worst of it...
