Welcome to our first motorcycle adventure camping trip together. We head to Mt Terrible in the Victorian High Country, with two Tenere 700s and a DRZ400, and aim to conquer Donalds Track.
It was also the first time we'd carried luggage on the T7, and it was definitely a lot more difficult to tackle the harder off road terrain, especially the steep and gnarly hill climbs.
I dropped it. I dropped it again. Oh man, I almost broke my leg. Oh there he is.
Oh my god, this is amazing. Beautiful view. Good day of riding.
Alrighty, packed, ready to leave. Gonna go meet up with the boys now.
Alrighty, just filled up tire pressures. Rock a roller. Yeah. Yeah boy.
Look at this thing. It's actually insane. It actually looks so cool.
Alrighty, stopping for lunch in Marysville. Hopefully get a good feed because we're not
eating till dinner so we need to fill up. Bikes are looking tough. Almost as tough as this Corvette.
Tell us about your setup. What have we got here? Mighty DRZ. We got the Adidas bag.
The Jerry with extra fuel. Is she in tight? Hopefully. I think she'll do the job. And then
we got the tents. That's all you need. You got the custom shorty levers as well over here.
Oh yeah, custom. Custom job. Yeah boy. Very good. The hanging blinker. Oh yeah,
let's take a look at that one. And most importantly, check out these fresh knobs
on the rear. We've got a bit of loose action here. Oh mate, look at this. Summer slicks.
Ready for the track. Get the side profile. There's not much there. Nah mate, she'll get us through
everything. Oh shit, we've had a bit of a mishap here. How's she looking? Not as sketchy as this
Oh yeah, that should work. No way it'll come off now.
Two cars. Yeah, yeah, exactly like that.
You've got to clear it. Oh, that is fierce.
Dude, this is way steeper. This is way steeper than it looks. Oh my god.
Yeah, I've made a steep drop. I'm ready.
Oh, here we go boys. Press the edges. Gotta paddle off. Jump these.
There he is. We should have bought the spare lever. Mate, we should have bought the *******
Hold on. It'll be in gear. So three, two, one, go.
Oh man, I just had to stall it. I dropped it.
Oh my god, this bike is so heavy. Yeah, I could hear you struggling. Are you all right?
All right, I'll come give you a hand. Oh ****, it's really slippery. Dude,
I was nearly losing it when I, that's why I kept, oh ****, that's why I kept going.
All right, give me a good push. Oh man, I'm actually nervous. I've never,
I've never gotten nervous riding until this point.
Fuck, again, I just, ****, I dropped it again. Oh man, I almost broke my leg. I'm so lucky.
Yeah. Three, two, one, go. Is it in gear? Yeah, it is. Hold on.
Mate, you're on a rock. All right, you ready?
Easy, man. Easy, bro. Oh my god, this is amazing. Take it real easy, Harrison.
The big drop off. You have no idea what the hell. Yeah. All right, boys, we've made it.
We've got our campsite for the night, which is probably one of the best campsites
I've ever seen ever. How good is it looking? Look at that view. We've got Artem started on the fire.
They left us with some, some coals. Just stoking it a bit and still some heat left. Beautiful.
So we're going to get a fire going here, probably set up dinner on the tables. And then when we want
to call it a night and go into the hut, they've got the burner in there. We'll try and transfer
some of the heat in there. Getting the firewood for the chimney going to keep us alive. It's not
going to be too cold, but we want to make sure it's nice and toasty in there. I just kept the
heat lower. It's about half. Yeah. So it won't burn as much, just stir it for a bit. Boys, the
jet boilers are making a mess. Artem, what are you doing, bro? Yeah, getting food quick though,
mate. Cooking with fire, mate. Cooking with fire. Oh, mine's all burnt to the bottom. Mine's not
even boiling yet. Yours not boiling yet? Good day of riding. Uh-huh. Oh yeah, it was a good
Suck in the air, Josh. Suck in the air. Fan out the smoke. It's smoking in here.
So we finally cleared the smoke out of here because we've got this thing shut. It's roaring
hot. We're going to go turn this fire off shortly. It's almost burnt out anyway. There's not much
wood left and we'll start wrapping up the night, getting the mats out, cleaning the place up.
All right guys, it's the morning. It's 5.58am. We said, **** it. It was too cold, so we just
started packing up. We had a mouse try to get in here. There's bite marks, but it never got through.
Fucking annoying us all night. Did you stay on the left? I don't think so. I don't feel warmed up at all.
Yes, please. Fuck it. Look at this. Look at this. It's already so fucked up. Okay, well.
Oh, it's pretty steep, man. Beautiful view.
Yup. My rear's just sliding everywhere, but deal with that. I'm like, oh shit, I'm on the wrong line.
Do not go right. Do not go. No, did you see the big boulder in the middle of it?
I almost just dropped the bike. I don't know. Pretty shit. I almost just dropped the bike,
trying to avoid it. It's nerve-wracking on the big bike. So nerve-wracking.
It's been a long time. All right guys, we're coming here for a nap. We are absolutely
exhausted. Barely got sleep last night. Gonna have a quick nap.
This is our napping location. How exhausted are you boys? Dying.
Quite peaceful out here with the lake there. Oh, I'd love to.
