A goodbye to my friend Jessi Combs— educator, welder and fabricator, land speed record holder, motorcycle builder, TV show host, off-road racer, Queen of the Hammers, beautiful, bad ass, intelligent woman.
Her photos are fun and striking. It’s obvious she was enjoying herself, conquering one road at a time as she made her way around the continent full of Kangaroos, Wallabies, and spiders the size of your fist. But this time around, we’ve got some videos to go with.
She did the whole trip around Australia on a BMW F800GS- the first leg was just under 6,000 miles (9500 km) and the second half was another 5300 miles (8500 km). And she did it all for charity (and the experience, of course).
“Riding through remote parts of Australia, where the only signs of civilization are petrol stations every 300km or so, was an amazing and eye-opening experience. I saw unique wildlife, stunning, untouched landscapes, and starry nights that stretched from horizon to horizon, and found that, despite not having any company, you somehow don’t get lonely or ever feel alone. Completing this adventure has only made me thirsty for more!”
