I'm not the kind of guy to get emotional that often, but the beauty on display in some of those areas made me want to cry.
I think the country boy in me has been in the city too long.
Mate it’s most certainly a beautiful area, sounds like your ready to get back out in the country and enjoy the surroundings for a bit🙌
I think a common mistake with most is assuming a viewer now has always watched your videos. Returning to the entry level stuff from time to time is a great way of giving new viewers content and reminding yourself how to do things. Great ride man
Yeah totally man, I like sharing the ride information with others to enjoy these great areas as well🙌thanks for watching mate👍
Just happened upon your channel, we haven't been off the sealed roads yet so absolute beginners. Thank you for making videos to help us. 🙏
No worries at all, enjoy your adventures☺️
good video, i enjoyed that, good commentry
Thanks mate👍
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. 😊
My pleasure👍
Great vid thanks! I am new to ADV and from the Goldie as well, so these begginer rides are great!
That’s awesome mate, welcome to the adv riding community. I’ll be doing more of these local vids in the future as well👍
Great overview of the region definitely going to ride the loop, thanks for the video 👍
You’ll love it Brett, thanks for watching mate👍
Awesome vid mate and great commentary throughout. I’ve lived on the NSW side near the Border Ranges and camped up at the top (took the ute), inspired to do it on two wheels now. Would love also to see a trip looping right around (north-south) to Wodenbong and down through to Kyogle, then retuning back thru the BRs via Lyons Rd. (south-north). Just on that, just chuck us a directional at the start so we can set our bearings, i.e. ‘Ok, hi… first-up heading east right now’ etc. Love your work!
Yeah mate I can let y’all know what direction I’m heading next vid. Glad you enjoyed it Daren thanks for watching mate appreciate it👍
Great video mate. I've been riding for many years now on road though, however I sold my cruiser and got myself a 2013 KLR gen 2 so looking forward to getting in the dirt. I've watching you vids now for several months and this is my first comment. More of these types of vids are very helpful so yes more please. I live in Logan so ride on dude.
Yeah awesome mate klr’s are a great bike for adventuring. Appreciate the comment too Mark I’ll be getting more of these vids out in the near future for people like yourself to checkout. Thanks for watching mate👍
Awesome mate, thank you. Yes would like to see more from you.
@@AntonyBigham thanks Antony glad you enjoyed it👍
Did this ride yesterday Curtis. Went from Canungra back to Canungra in a big loop. Great ride mate with awesome scenery (even if there were burns going on!) Great content and love your series on the Simpson Desert crossing. Hope more people subscribe to your channel. Take it easy....
@@jezza46 awesome mate! Glad you enjoyed the loop and the Simpson series. Really appreciate the support Jeremy thanks for watching👍
Never knew about the little off shoot on grady creekrd/lions rd , Cheers 4 sharing sir
Yeah fun little one mate, thanks for watching Tex👍
Thanks!!! Brilliant! Just found your channel. New to off road this vid is amazing! Will be heading down from Bris to check it out.
Awesome Aaron, it’s great loop mate enjoy👍
Thanks for the great video! Also, I appreciate you sharing the map. If the weather is good this weekend coming, I will travel the same path!
@@TR-jh5nd my pleasure mate, hope you enjoy the route🙌thanks for watching👍
Well put together. informative and relaxing
Thanks mate appreciate it👍
Thanks for that very pleasant travel through some nature, but very accessible to 'civilization' (no need for an Eper) some of us are impressed enough with the go everywhere there is a road, which is hard, perhaps corrugated, with loose gravel nearby.. that's interesting enough, and allows a great dose some remaining ecology (which we can ruin by 'over-loving' it and carving it up for "real-estate betting"). Some of us are not likely to acquire or set-up a serious dirt bike; yet videos of the stunts that are possible on suitable motorcycles helpful to some of us so we can see where to "draw a line". Thanks for showing us some of the moderate stuff; and some country; looking forward to the drone views!
I’m glad you enjoyed it Ron. Some of the best routes I know are mild dirt roads and a bit of bitumen with scenery, it certainly doesn’t need to be goat country to have a great ride. Thanks for watching mate👍
Just came up in my feed and glad it did. Looks good.
Thanks Simon hope you give it a crack mate🙌
Amazing riding , beautiful place mate cheers always enjoy and appreciate your videos 🤙
Thanks heaps Niah, appreciate the support🤙
@@anotherguyonabike4726 🤙
Great ride thanks for putting it online !
Thanks mate my pleasure👍
great simple and local rides always welcome
Roger that👍
Tried to go through today but the road is closed at the gate at bar mtn fork. And it's turn around not today haha. Other than that was very wet but nice.
When was this you went
@@personalaccount342 deadset? I went just last weekend. I just had a look on the nsw parks and wild life website and they have council repairs on that side of the range until the 31st of may😔
Nice scenery and great video!
Thanks mate👍
Beautiful area around there 👌 got a few hidden waterfalls to find out there!
Enjoyed it mate🙏
Yeah there’s a few great ones I haven’t been to them all yet tho, thanks for watching man appreciate it👍
Great video mate, will do that on my next ride.
Thanks mate, you’ll love it👌
Good one Curt! Cruisy, scenic loops are a great day out, and like you touched on, great for those new to adv riding. Cheers for the upload buddy 😎👍
Yeah mate I’ll still love the cruisy rides like these just as much as the more intense ones☺️Thanks for watching Phil👍
Hey dude great to see you back another awesome video curt great channel keep up the great work 👍 cheers for sharing your content always look forward 💯
Yeah it’s been a while, thanks for watching Nathan appreciate it man👍
Great route thanks mate, gonna hit this up early next week. Love content like this
Your most welcome mate, I’ll try and get more of these type of vids out in the near future👍
First time viewer. Great drone footage of some stunning country. Goes to show we don’t all have to ride like Pol Tarres to enjoy ourselves on a ride. Great video👍
100% mate! Just getting out exploring on the bike and enjoying the ride is what it’s all about no matter how hard or easy the tracks are. Thanks for watching Jason👍
Great to see someone making videos for us beginners. I have the same problem in Victoria I really don't know any good places and everyone I watch on UA-cam have great spots in the high country but it's way out of my skill set. Great video👌
Yeah mate I still enjoy rides like these that aren’t super intense or difficult, we all have to start somewhere as well👌thanks for watching mate👍
Hi mate, love your work, I started doing videos of various dirt roads around SE QLD, your work is so good I gave up, you've got it covered. Really enjoy your channel. Robina, Gold Coast
Hey Ken noooo don’t give up mate, thanks for watching though, all the support is definitely appreciated👍
Looks like a great day out. Love to see more of the local rides. Keep up the great work. Cheers
Thanks Craig appreciate it mate👍
Great video Curt, looks like a good loop.
Thanks dad, it’s a great day ride👌
Nice one buddy. I think I've ridden over that way a while back but can't remember the road names. Definately looking at going back out there now and checking out the camp sites 🤙
Yeah mate some of those camp sites look great don’t they, thanks for watching man👍
What a ripper video and a great track. I'm trying to find courage again after dropping my V-Strom 1000 on a patch of sand & braking some bones. Fine on bitumen again but very timid on dirt roads. Your flick may just encourage me to get adventurous again. I think I'll bypass those slippery causeways along Lyons Road though.
Keep up the great work!
Yeah Oli breaking bones would definitely make you a bit gun shy. Get back out there mate and just take it easy on the dirt, thanks for watching mate👍
good to see the loop Open for you this time
Yeah mate weather wasn’t quite as good as the first time unfortunately. Nice to meet you as well Shane I’m sure will cross tracks again👍
I like the video. I live in the USA so it is unlikely that I will ever see your area. I like the long range shots from the overlook even though it was cloudy. would like to see some extra shots of the scenery would be cool. yes, more of this type vidoe would be good too. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching mate I’m glad you enjoyed it👍
Did the Border Ranges a couple of weeks ago. (August 2024) The bridge on the Lions Road where you exited onto the dirt is in the process of being replaced , so the Lions Road is closed at that point. Gotta agree the Range is a great ride!
@@douglipscomb3002 ahhh bloody road works. Yeah mate definitely a favourite of mine, thanks for watching Doug👍
great video as always!
Thank you mate👍
🇦🇺😎👍I just arrived back from a ride from Brisbane and you’ve got me all gee’d up for a ride through the mountains. I live near Boonah . Sometimes I get board so I go for a ride up border range , down through Legum , then down to Casino , up to the Gold Coast up to Archerfield then back to Boonah … Ok loop !
@@bigtrev761 yeah awesome mate sounds like a good run👌
@@anotherguyonabike4726 🇦🇺😎👍
Another great video mate
Thanks for watching Daniel appreciate it mate👍
Great vid matey. Boarder Rangers is always a great day trip. Some days its nice to just ride and take in the great views.
Mate I haven't done it though since I did it with you and the Gold Coast Adv rider crew. We doth got flat tyres that day...
Goes to show that every ride is an adventure ride when on two wheels. :)
@@baydencairns3088 thanks Bayden, yeah mate I definitely enjoy playing tourist just as much as the challenging rides. Bloody punctures hey😅I’m due for another group ride soon I reckon😉
A tip for riding over the cement causeways, always ride in the car tracks. The cars keep a lot of the algae and slime of the cement and makes it way less slippery.
Yeah good advice mate, I secretly love the slipperiness haha makes it fun😉
Loved the video mate! Subscribed 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it mate, very much appreciated👍
Funny seeing this on my youtube, I live in kyogle, (Have all my life) I have a friend who owns one of the property's on that gradys creek rd/lions rd, and often in summer go swimming at those causeway's that you drove over (the 3rd one, that rope swing is pretty shit now that im not a baby anymore haha) and will more then likely be out there next week with this hot bloody weather. its cool to see a place I know so well, be enjoyed by others.
@@fugiscute mate how cool is that! Yeah I reckon that rope swing is definitely for humans smaller then us😅I could imagine in the stinking hot summer days it would be a great area to cool off👌thanks for watching mate👍
Amazing Video!
@@wannabemotovlogger thanks mate👍
Now that was a very well edited video with great scenery 😎👍to bad its toooo far for me to ride 🤔😒would be a great ride to wind down the mind after a mongrel of a weeks work 🙃
keep well mate and ride safe-ish 😉🍺
Yeah mate it’s a great ride for exactly that…take your mind off everything else🙌thanks for watching Jeff👍
🇦🇺😎👍🏁The Big DRasaurass 650 🏁
Nice video mate 👍
Thanks legend appreciate it👍
I grew up in Wiangaree and remember getting to the border and had to wait for the gate to be opened by the tick staff worker and it was mostly gravel miss my old country town 👍
@@deancarbery3766 Wow! Thats pretty cool, it’s definitely changed a bit since then. Thanks for watching mate👍
@@anotherguyonabike4726 no worries 👍
Good video... Luke Combs and a DRZ ... Such good taste.
Hahaha thanks mate👌
awesome video mate, can i get the whole trip details somehow please? thanks
Hey Rico they’re all in the ride map mate just make sure to take the left hand turn at Grady’s creek road for the fun little crossings👌
hey if you want a jacket, come and see us at The Tweed Heads Enthusiasts Motorcycle club Swap Meet, Sunday 9th June @ Recreation Oval, Tweed Heads.
Oh awesome thanks for the invite👍
So need to get myself a more “adventure” oriented bike.
Just at my retirement age I prefer the cruiser comfort.
Some of the adventure bike options on the market are pretty comfortable as well so it may not be such a big sacrifice👍
@@anotherguyonabike4726 tried a few, but seat height is definitely a deterrent.
Once upon a time I could kick someone in the face, now I be lucky if I hit above the groin….lol
Yeah I know you can use the pegs as a step up, but I still need to able to flat foot on both sides. Only 4 feet 22….. lol
@@Robert-xs2mv hahaha yeah the height on most can be a challenge the best iv seen of late is the royal enfield 450 Himalayan however that’s a brand new bike which is not ideal for those that may be watching there pennies.
@@anotherguyonabike4726 looked up those $10 grand 😮😮🤪😮
Awesome, do you know of any calm dirt roads like this also near brisbane? I don't want to go off roading too bad with my pregnant partner, but we want to go out & explore. I got a 4x4 but trying to keep it to day trips on tracks like this!
Hey mate there’s like daguilar and mt mee which have fire roads, one which goes into a swimming hole called rocky hole (probably bit cold atm) nice scenery. There’s a smaller shorter little track called Undullah rd which goes from Ipswich area to flagstone, short but fun. Most of the nice scenic stuff is a bit of a drive/ride out of the city though👍
@@anotherguyonabike4726 Undullah road also looks like a decent spot! we decided to do the condamine track on sunday! thank you for your info I reckon mt mee will be next for sure! appreciate your help
@@graffitifinder9898 my pleasure mate👍
Excellent job mate..have you still got the google maps route for this one..looks like a great ride that i have to explore
@@matthewlovejoy9917 Thanks Matt, yeah mate it should be in the description👍
@@anotherguyonabike4726 found it..I was looking in the comments not the description...silly me
@@matthewlovejoy9917 😅👌
Is your gearing stock? My DRZ struggles at 90-100km and its put me off taking it on a longer trip with a lot of backroads
Hey Tim, yeah the stock gearing is not great for highway use I have changed mine from 14-47 to 14-41 and can sit on 95-100 for 400-500kms in a day. Changing the gearing makes a massive difference man👌
Great video, Any chance of getting a link for your GPS unit.
@@christopherhowarth4798 thanks mate. Yeah everything you may want to know about it with the product links are all in this vid mate👍

@@anotherguyonabike4726 Thanks. I had a look at the GPS unit. Not a fan of having it linked to the phone. But thanks.
@@christopherhowarth4798 yeah fair call mate.
1st
Bloody Kai😂
Great ride thanks for posting👍. I tried to copy and paste the link to google maps and it doesn’t work? Many thanks
Hey mate sorry about that iv just had a look and it works sporadically on my map as well, so next time I’ll try and upload a gpx file to see if that works better. Cheers for watching mate👍
@@anotherguyonabike4726 Hi there, It opens on a web page but doesn’t open in the app. It may open on yours a bit because you created it. Ask a friend or neighbour to try. These rides are great for a day out not just for newbies but also for people like myself new to the area but after 45 years of riding quite frankly a bit sick of dragging a heavy bikes over logs or through swamps. I have done some of that loop and look forward to exploring more. Love your vids. Gpx option next time would be awesome 👍
@@cobber427 yeah too easy mate I’ll try sort out a gpx on the next ones,cheers for the feedback👍

Dunno that one mate.
Which GPS Unit are you using?
