Not many invitations include a support crew for a six-week adventure trip to the Kimberley. Melbourne-based James Otto was quick to accept.
Less than four weeks out from the start of the trip I had a self-created problem. The DRZ400 had about 40,000km on it, and I didn’t think either it or myself would be up for the 13,000km round trip from Melbourne.
I needed to buy a replacement bike quickly.
