The hardcore postie riders emerged from discussions on the ADV Rider forum. Led by Phil Hodgens from Motorbikin’ video fame, rides were organised in extreme landscapes and filmed by Phil for inclusion on his DVDs.

Although they’ve done many rides over the years, this piece is about their 2012 Coast to Coast record attempt. Nineteen riders left Byron Bay, NSW in the east and blasted 5000kms across Australia to Steep Point, WA in the west.
