Congratulations Scott Britnell Cape Byron, NSW to Steep Point, WA in 72 hours and 10 minutes. The double crossing in 173 hours and 50 minutes. Un-freaking-believable.
Last issue had a rundown on Scott Britnell’s KTM 690 RFR.The bike was built to set a target time for the run from the Australian mainland’s eastern-most point, Cape Byron, to the mainland’s western-most point, Steep Point, WA. The previous best-recorded time was just over 90 hours.
Scott wanted to not only do better, he wanted to do it unsupported. He did his preparation and research, some tough self-assessment, then made the attempt. His time for the east-west crossing was mind-boggling: 72 hours and 10 minutes.
