Bike trip documentary - Sydney to Alaska on 105cc
Discussion
I lurk a lot on here but don't post often. I did a bike trip a few years ago and someone just chopped together some footage to make a short film. It's about Sydney to Alaska on an aussie post bike.
I thought I'd share it.

I think I always liked that first section across Australia, inland from Rockhampton across and up to Darwin. It's flat and empty and very remote and I just liked that atmosphere. There'd be homesteads every 250 kilometres or so where'd you'd get fuel and food. Thailand's a good place to ride a bike. Pakistan's interesting because it's not what you'd expect. They have Subway and KFC for example. And then America through that Southwestern area. I've actually just been back out there but on a slightly bigger bike.

Haha. What a tool. I've just realised that bit about returning to America is mentioned in the documentary that you just watched. But yeah the chap who put it together did a great job. He just spotted some scraggy youtube pics I'd put up during that Sydney to London trip and thought he could stitch them together to make a short film. They have a few more bike related videos at www.makeyourbones.com
That was awesome mate, enjoyed every minute of that...I didnt see the girls crying too much as you left?!
Im flat after 10 days in France so I can well imagine after a trip like that, depression can sink in and the urge to do another long trip is the only way to cure that.
Just goes to show you dont need a new GS1200 and 2Ks worth of goretex to enjoy riding motorbikes.

Thankyou for that. It genuinely was awe inspiring. After a pretty stty day that was just what I needed. A man getting on and doing what you want to do. Don't look back, just go for it!
I'm sure you've heard it a million times before but it's like Forrest Gump on a motor bike! "I just felt like riding!"
Epic journey, epic bike(do you still own it) and a great story. Congrats on the marriage too!

Great ride on a great bike,
proving once again that the horizontal single was -and is- a small stroke of genius from Honda.
These engines are made for half a century now, can be badly neglected and still keep on running
or can be tuned to your wallet´s maximum and reach (scale) superbike levels.
