From a dream ride travelling from Australia to the Arctic Circle to Lonely Planet/ Discovery Series. Also check out a review of the new Discovery DVD series written by Tom Foster the editor of TBAM.

Steve Crombie signs with Yamaha

Steve Crombie signs up with Yamaha to promote their adventure bikes.

“Yamaha Motor Australia is pleased to support Steve on his adventures, not least because the spirit of adventure is a driving force behind the Yamaha brand. Yamaha dominated the Dakar Rally for many years, which fostered development of the XT series and Tenere models, ultimately leading to the XT660Z Tenere that Steve will become the first Aussie to ride.
Steve and the Tenere are a great fit. They are both natural born travellers and with his charisma and the Tenere’s rugged good looks, we’re sure they will make a great couple. Steve’s future travel plans will be eagerly anticipated because his adventurous spirit is something that everyone at Yamaha can identify with.”

Steven Cotterell, Director/General Manager, Yamaha Motor Australia
