There comes a time when everyone needs a change. Time to slip onto something that bumps up my pulse rate a little. Sorta like jumping from the back of a hyena onto the mane of a lion. Love Yamaha!

Swapping the Yamaha Tenere for a Yamaha XT660R tomorrow… will be nice to drop a bit of weight and slide a little lower around the corners…. Dreaming about stripping it down and building it back up to a Lost On… Thoughts anyone?

Features

  • Punchy 660cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single cylinder engine with SOHC four valve cylinder head to improve intake efficiency.
  • Rocker arms with roller bearings fitted for the first time on a Yamaha motorcycle in order to reduce engine’s friction related power losses (50% less than without bearings).
  • Lightweight aluminium forged piston, with an anodised surface treatment applied on the piston head to reduce oil consumption and to increase heat resistance.

‘THE ONLY WAY I AM COMING HOME IS BY BIKE OR BY BOX.’

Join Steve Crombie as he rides 90,000 kilometres from Australia to the Arctic Circle via South America. It takes him two years. He suffers from dehydration, starvation and disease. He rebuilds his motorcycle four times.

Along the way Steve not only tests his limits but meets the world head on – waking up behind iron bars in Tierra Del Fuego; traversing the length of the Amazon with a 260-kilogram motorcycle in tow; evading pumas in Guyana; skimming across the Caribbean on a yacht with wanted criminals; dodging bullets in Nicaragua and finally paddling
a few laps in the Arctic Ocean.

Lost on Earth is an adrenaline rush, taking the reader to the wilds of the Americas, with a man who made the dream of following a road less travelled into a reality. Hitch a ride.

The book will be released in Australia at beginning of September in time for Fathers Day…
