First airing of this presentation so any constructive feedback would be great
My background and experience as a rider
What drives me
How did I get the opportunity
Hardest part – making the decision to go
Why – search for a bigger adventure, what's over the horizon feeling
When – gave myself a year out, needed to balance the seasons/weather
Where – started thinking east then decided on Aus and Dakar, easy bit first !
What for – to see what's over the horizon, personal drive to get my mojo back !

Bonus of friends in Sydney
Meeting up with the Dakar 2016
As much off road as possible and off the tourist trail
Solo

Bike key points
Only one major failure (but no breakdown) clutch in Simpson
A couple of minor fuel leaks, both in Aus
Lack of shakedown time
Learnt lesson of quality and frequent oil changes
Obsessive about fuel quality and filters
Suspension pretty harsh, compromise between endure and adventure bike
Plenty enough power
100% best choice of bike for terrain
Could lighten further
Tyre wear
Kit
Just about everything was 100%.

Camping gear, could go lighter still but compromise comfort
Tech flawless

Language skills
More confident in bike servicing/tyre changing
Best bit – completing the Simpson/cross Aus
SA – Punta Olimpica and Oxapampa
Worst – 100% Bolivia hospitalisation and missing the Dakar
