That looks spectacular.
Some friends and i are just getting our deposits back from a Road of Bones (Russia) trip which was planned for July but obviously not a happening thing at the moment. For next year I had been looking at Lumby (INOA Rally) then on to Alaska (Anchorage and Prudhoe Bay) - not sure whether that will come together.
 
Enough adventure runs around this Province for a life time , started many moons ago in the dirt , plan to slowly ease my way back to first love on 2 wheels , that is exploring wilderness and unpopulated areas here.... the ct90 is just my chosen entry bike , when I quit the dirt my ride was xl 500s ..... many memorable trips into the unknown for me at least .... have always had a 4x4 and used to take kids into the wild when young , after a certain age they had other priorities ..... the Jeeps caught on though and my wife still drives one as her daily ...

Come to Australia its a adventure everyday lol, a muti purpose bike would be ideal for traveling our great land down under from wild wildness to great twisty roads, to very long open distant roads to extreme outback roads, but riding across the country on outback roads is best done in our winter as in summer its to extreme for heat, but a lot of places you need to carry extra fuel as some fuel stops are over 500km distants between stops, cost him $10k all up for fuel, food and of course beers.
I asked him would he do it again and he said for sure but next time will take it a lot more easier and do the trip over a few months if not the whole year as he come across some great places he would have liked to spend more time at and there was still places he didn't get to see, as for the bike it never missed a beat on the whole trip and after 3 years of ownership it has clocked up a lot of miles well over 70k and still going as good as the day he rolled out of the show room, he is also a very hard rider on his bikes.

I did a lot of dual sport rides in the 1980's-90's. A friend and I put lights on dirt 600 singles (Honda XR 600-650, ATK604) got them street licensed, got some head work done, maybe make a cam change, and bolted up other hot rod parts, and rode AMA sanctioned 250 and 500 mile dual sport events in the California and Nevada high desert. The 500 mile events were 2 day, and food was included. We paid for our lodging and booze separately. Good times. Couldn't do it now physically, but it was sure fun then. I don't think I had a phone that took pics at the time.

Here's one of the event shirts I still have.
