The 54-year-old was only the third Australian to recently complete the Newcastle to Perth return coast to coast "insanity" trip earning him a Gold Award from the Iron Butt Association.

"It's all about endurance," he said.

The long time Dubbo resident said he had a lifelong passion for motorbikes.

From a young age, he collected second-hand bikes and fixed them then sold them and bought better ones.

Bike after bike kept his mechanical mind active and kindled the zeal he felt since childhood to push himself further, one step at a time.

As the NSW Ambulance paramedic educator he was sent to Sydney for work and there realised his family and recreational time were limited.

He soon got back into fixing bikes and riding.

On one of his trips from the city to Dubbo he was surprised to see motorbikes on the highway between 11pm and 2am.

As he stopped to refuel, he stopped to chat with one of the riders and was introduced to FarRiders- the home of long distance riding.

"From there it is all history," he said.

Mr Pirchmoser purchased a 300 kilogram Kawasaki GTR 1400, fuelling his desire to endurance riding.

Within the first 12 months he clocked up 35,000 kilometres, but this was just the start.

In January he travelled almost 4000 kilometres in less than 48 hours from Newcastle through to Broken Hill continuing to Port Augusta and then crossing the desolate Nullarbor Plain in burning 48 degree heat ending at Fremantle, Western Australia.

"The other guy I travelled with had his tyre melt from the heat," he said.

This challenge was not enough as he went solo on the Newcastle to Perth 7941 kilometre test in four days.

With an average of 2000 kilometres a day, he insisted there was no speeding involved.

"It is against the rules, you follow the road signs," he said.

Mr Pirchmoser said his progress was monitored with GPS tracking and he had to fill a log book with his activity.

He had no caffeine to keep him awake and only a trailer mix of dried fruit and nuts with water kept him on the go.

The two real challenges he faced were mental and physical fatigue.

Mental fatigue was dealt with by listening to music, talking to truckies via Bluetooth on the phone and playing mental games to keep alert.

As for the physical exhaustion he said he kept himself hydrated and slept four hours a day.

Whenever he arrived in a town he would stretch his legs and move a little to exercise.

He admitted his bottom was sore after the challenging trip and skin chafed and covered with blisters.

His wife Jodi Connor said she feared she wouldn't see him again.

"I wouldn't argue with him or stop him because that's what he loves," she said.

"It sounds bananas but I've seen him doing it and I think it's rational."

Mr Pirchmoser said he was planning an extraordinary challenge to complete alone in a few weeks time.

Departing from Dubbo and crossing through all the capital cities on the mainland in eight days return.

Mr Pirchmoser said he was driven to push himself to new limits as he enjoyed the challenge.

"Why do people climb Ayers Rock or go to Nepal to climb Mount Everest?" he said.

"Is it crazy? Probably."

His wife added the new trip sounded "foolhardy and ridiculous".

However, she trusted his experience and skill to safely complete the trip.

One of the real problems he had faced was wildlife on the road.

Foxes and wombats were easy to dodge but small kangaroos, which came from the side were dangerous. Mr Pirchmoser said he always carried with him a first aid kit, jump leads and the right gear.
