Paul crashed. Barry Bled.The 450 MT Broke

What started as a cold Sunday adventure ride through the South Australian hills quickly turned into one of the roughest rides we’ve had in a long time… Paul sent the Africa Twin sliding into the clay. Barry and the KTM 390 Adventure R both hit the deck. The Desert Dingo took a massive suspension hit that jammed the forks solid in the fully compressed position — leaving us stranded trailside trying to work out if the ride was over. Wet clay, slippery climbs, trailside repairs, questionable decision-making and the usual Gravel Hound chaos… just another Sunday with The Pack. 🏍️💥 In this episode: • Paul’s Africa Twin crash • Barry vs South Australian clay • KTM 390 Adventure R off-road impressions • Desert Dingo suspension failure • Trailside repair session • Real adventure riding conditions • South Australian back-country riding No polished showroom review here — just real riders, real tracks and real problems.
