Borneo Equator Expedition - Jungle, Swamps and Heatstroke

[BlueLghtning]

This is another ADV ride report (not mine) that is just amazing and I thought was worth sharing and cross posting here. This is turning into another one of those epic ride reports and really could probably be one of Paul's Adventure rides! :rofl:

This ride report is shared from the "KTMInduro" rider that is riding a Husaberg 390 and sharing the story about him and his buddies doing this epic ride in the Kalimantan wilderness along with a bunch of 4x4's also.

Follow this link and enjoy - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=585918

Just to get your interest!

5 bikes , some 4WD’s and 2500 km of Kalimantan wilderness along the Equator.

A taste of things to come.........

This was going to be some of the hardest and in some places the most scariest riding I'd ever done.......

Yeah, you won't get any work done while you read it and catch up! :D

[BlueLghtning]

I can't believe some of the winching they are having to do, just to get the bikes through the swamps and stuff! Yikes!

I think he was up to Day 9 (or something like that). Plenty more to go.

I can't wait for him to continue, but this was his last post to hold us over


The RR has taken a little longer to write up than I had originally anticipated !

My posts may slow down a little as I now have some family commitments for the next few weeks , so please bear with me.

There is more to come..........

LOL, yeah I wish I had one this good, but this isn't my ride report, I just find these interesting ones on ADV to drool over and dream! :D

So you saw Will & Amanda just made it back home (they got married along the way), and that they are about to head out on the Trans-Labador too. I've definitely enjoyed following them also.

I didn't know they (W & A) are off again. I'm a few posts behind. They were in Alaska last time I checked.

Next time you and Sarah are in the area shoot me a PM. Ginger and I would like to tag along with a couple "pros"
