- Is this Australia's longest river crossing for a motorcycle? Two Suzuki DRZ400E dual sport motorcycles test the waters.
A five day, 1250km Victorian High Country adventure ride onslaught. We chose the hardest tracks on offer and linked them all together to create 'The Hard Way' route whilst being fully loaded up. This ride was the hardest ride I have completed as an adventure ride to date.

Great to see the perspective of why you guys didn't make it to Buchan to meet us before we took off, bloody Jacksons Crossing is no joke!
Awesome work at Jacksons Crossing Lance, it's no joke that one. Myself & a bunch of mates did almost exactly the same trip in May 2023. we camped at Jacksons & glad we had vehicles with us. We bitched out & put the bikes on the utes & 4WD truck to get em across. We didn't fancy wrangling 14 bikes across the river 1st thing in the morning. It started raining after breakfast when we left Buchan, did haunted stream & got into Omeo at 8 that night completely wet through, then it started snowing the next morning so we all chickened out & loaded up the cars & headed home to Moruya. Still I reckon it was one of the best trips I've ever done.
It's amazing how much country like this is packed into the smallest mainland state.
Ain’t looking to hard to me😅
I have found two things happen crossing rivers with four strokes if you stall or stop. The vent tubes get blocked of in in the water if you haven’t put a t fitting in the vent lines. Second thing that happens if you stop in water or fall off or over the engine cools off very quickly and all you have to do is pull the choke on and the bike will start. Hope this helps.

Those are some insane tracks, you guys are awesome.
Ok little water in the fuel hope you don't Go dumping your oil in the high country when think it might have a little water in the carb and if you do l hope you catch it and take it with you lol break failure typical Suzuki dr
Great to see ya back into it mate 🤙🏽
Sitting here waiting for my knee to heal after an off and living vicariously through your adventures. Keep it up Lance.
Good times!

Great watch Lance. I really like your Dad's memory is with you. Tough areas, but great scenery. Gotta watch those corners, I've experienced too many close calls. Be careful! Thanks for sharing your fantastic motorcycle adventures. 👏😁
I think that's well outside my endurance level now, funny how much difference a few years make. Still keeping my KLX400e but going for a second bike for tamer adventure/touring, I was hoping to grab a F800gs, but I think it's a few kg too much, though they surprising hide it well. That hill brought back some scary memories 🙃. Thanks for sharing 👍
those rocks . im on the ground more than on my bike in that terrain. you 2 are machines. i like the easier stuff. safe travels
That Sally is like a kid...loves to play in water...also turns into an animal when needed...had a split personality, I reckon..... Great work mates.....both take a pat on the back from me...and a double for Josh...... DRZ's don't make good hood ornaments.....stay safe guys...look forward to the rest of the series.
THE HARD WAY is the best way :)
Bloody hell,action aplenty..
Yeah it’s no cape York. It’s a completely different animal. Every time you go up, you’re going down just as steep. While most of it can be done by casual bike riders and 4wders there’s some tracks that are insane. Great trip man, and some advice for josh jb, always expect a 4wd coming around each corner at you.
Looking fwd to watching more of this trip. It's great to see both you and Josh riding again.
Nice work boys. Certainly doing some challenging tracks that's for sure. Just watching these videos you can hear the extra punch to your bike since you've done the Big Bore kit. If I still had my DRZ I think I would have been looking at doing the same. Look forward to watching how the rest of the trip unfolds.
