    Found this and thought some may find it interesting, This couple travel the back roads and having been fortunate myself to have done the vast majority of them myself I can say it's an awesome place to go out exploring, best on a dirt or adventure bike though we hired dirt bikes and had a great time even taking trouble to seek permission to cross indigenous lands

    One giant playground the south west. Difficult to perceive. Difficult to perceive the fkn heat too! I describe it as "Hairdryer on Turbo."

    The heat is something else, but we where issued with camelbacks and carried extra water so it helped

    Hi, @Don the Don! I just now saw this thread and watched the video. Awesome! While I don't ride off-road to didn't recognize any of that in particular, there were some paved roads that I've seen and I've been across that bridge for sure. :) It does make me contemplate a dirt or adventure bike. But only a little bit. ;):joy: I don't even own a mountain bike as I've always preferred pavement. But a video like this makes me wonder....and dream. :kissing_heart:

    I dont know how you can resist! I would be more than happy with a wee CRF250L to plod about on. See mountain, must get to top of mountain! But pedalling up it, yeah,nah! :D

    Sometimes you dont know what you have got. Over here we are heavily restricted even for off tarmac tracks never mind proper off road. Scotland is even worse.:confused:

    Set of engine bars and some fat knobblies for the Speedy, eh?;)

    Dirt bike or Jeep, I have used both and loved it every time the place is truly awesome AZ & Utah and Moab well worth a look outback, the indigenous lands [permission sought] are an eye opener, got to do it @Sandi T. lives to short gal.

    As a keen dirt rider that looks like Nirvana, well almost, not sure I could handle the heat. Nothing quite like being up to the axles in a Derbyshire peat bog though......Really? o_O

    We had a blast in our Wrangler going off-road while we were out there. Not too far off road, the Wrangler has capabilities that my skills (lack of) as an off-road driver can't come near to exceeding. I must admit the Wrangler is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned that isn't a motorcycle.
