Canning Stock Route - April
Hey guys,
Been on here lurking for a while now. Finally decided to post as me and my girlfriend have a ride planned in April and would be happy for other adventure riders to join us!
We're doing an unsupported trip on the CSR in our DR650s. Plan is to leave early April from Perth. The trip should total no more than 3 weeks (possibly 4).
Being unsupported fuel will be a major issue, depending on your bike but for my and the missus we'll be having a minimum carrying capacity of 70l (35l tank and 40l external)
So if you're interested in joining us please hit us up!
Your mate,
Gouldie

Hey guys
Just saw your post and interested how you ended up getting on, ride report or Info would be greatly appreciated. How long did you manage between fuel stops and was their much availability along the road?.
Where planning a similar ride from Perth to exmouth late September

The Canning Stock Route is not a 'hey guys .. lets do a trip here" kinda thing. You'll need some planning.. 1,800km ... one fuel stop, one fuel dump if you arrange it before hand. To start with read

Yep, one of the major issues is that it is like Bourke St at this time of year - biggest challenge is in avoiding collisions with oncoming vehicles.
Seriously Warin, I've just travelled through that area and the major concern of most 4WDers was whether or not they had brought sufficient alcoholic beverages with them to last the journey.
