KLR650 and Ural Tourist

Robert’s a 49-year-old farm hand who can find himself hauling two trailers behind an eight-wheeler one day and doing any one of a stack of jobs the next. In WA, a trip to the nearest civilisation can be an adventure in itself. Robert lives 125km east of Esperance, and that means around an hour and a half to get to ‘town’.
