Is there anyone who hasn’t dreamed of riding across Australia? Here’s someone who’s doing it. Again. And this time on a Tiger 800.

Christian Loghem and Stuart Ball are dedicated blokes. In 2011 Stuart decided to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital in Queensland. He got some donations together, jumped on his 990 and rode from Byron Bay, NSW, to Steep Point, WA. At the end of it, he handed just over $5000 to the hospital. The Great Australian Ride (GAR) had had its start.

The ride’s been growing ever since.
