Here is a short video I cut from footage on my Reward Mine trip.

That was a fun day.

DR350 Mission Accomplished

Mission accomplished.

All in all the bike performed very well this weekend. It ran great, the only mechanical issue I had was a sheared kickstand bolt, I made quick work of that Friday morning and went out on the above solo ride up the old Darwin toll road. It sure was a lot of fun to take the bike up the loose and rocky sections of the toll road and the Reward Mine access road.

2015 DVNR – Saturday Night through Sunday/Time to Go

Posted on by 0 comment

Saturday night I got changed out of my riding gear and headed over to the dinner and raffle. As usual the dinner was good and the raffle entertaining. I managed to win an ADVMoto subscription and dual sporting DVD and procured a machete for my KLR. That night I had a couple beers and went to bed a bit early, I was too wiped out for the sort of debauchery I was expecting to be up to.  I went back to camp to retrieve my bottle of Karma Tequila I had one in a previous year’s raffle, took one drink, then gave it to the folks at the campfire to pass around.

2015 DVNR – Saturday/Reward Mine

Posted on by 0 comment

Saturday. Today I’m going to lead a nice simple ride up to Reward Mine. Noobs welcome! Big Bike friendly!

We started out with 60 miles of slab. Given that I’m on a DR350 that wasn’t such a quick ride. I only feel comfortable up to about 60 with its current gearing, that runs me at 6000 rpm and gives me a little headroom in case I need to escape.

Group shot at the sign on 190.

2015 DVNR – Friday/Darwin Toll Road

Posted on by 0 comment

I got up at 7 and stumbled over to PSR for their breakfast buffet. It is nice not to mess with making breakfast nor having to clean up the dishes. After breakfast I tended camp a little bit and planned my kickstand repair operation (i.e. I procrastinated).

Good place to procrastinate.
