Riding them right & proper, lads! Great tour. The Canadian softwood mill hits home from here on Vancouver island BC. New T7 arrives here early this summer. Inspired to return the favour & show you around Canada's fabulous wild west coast when it does. Keep up the good ripping!
I think you very rarely get such a good sound composition in motovlogs! I love how voice, motorbike, music and wind are so nicely leveled😍 and with the vivid colours this video really is something artistic!
Great stuff, really enjoyed that!. On the slower gnarly stuff and the creek crossings I could keep up....but on that fast Aussie dirt track probably not!! , at the pace you guys ride!! Good to see the land looking green and lush, and good to see the T7 going so well! Cheers, Steve
was a tricky day filming one guy just returning from injury broken wrist and one fast guy out front danny was only putting along was easier for me to film without getting showered in rocks
Thanks Kato Mr Bling 👍 I'm taking it easy for the time being. I need to regain some more strength in my left hand. I broke both wrists but the left wrist is not healing very well and is still a bit weak. It was great to get out for a ride after about 2 months off since my accident with a Bull earlier this year
@@katojimmybling I should have waited longer as per doctors advice in regards of waiting time to get back on a bike. I haven't fully healed yet, but I missed getting out riding. The old saying came into my mind: " Stuck between a rock and a hard spot " - along with my disappointment of what the doc said so I decided an easy / cruisy ride was worth it and I bit bullet so to say and got on the KTM 1090 Adventure R at 5:30am to be on time to meet the guys at the meeting point, about 2 -2.5 hours ride from home for me through fog, unfenced cattle farmers roads, high risk crash areas etc, but f_ck it, I like riding and I am glad i did, with little to no repercussions injury wise 👍 Not to mention I had a good day riding roads/ tracks I've never seen before. Good times
Great ride, well put together mate. Saw it was 50 odd minutes and thought I'd watch for a bit, ended up staying for the whole thing, like I was there with ya's. Cheers for that. Looking a bit like north Queensland there.. you've sold me on the bike too 👍🍻
Looks like the t7 hangs with bigger bikes just fine. I love the simplicity of that bike. I think we here in the US are going to get tis next year. Great video, looks like so much fun.
For me personally it was a great feeling to be back out riding after so long off the bike. It was good to see and ride through a lot of cool scenic areas with good views, varied terrain that I've not ridden through before to keep me on my toes and I dunno about you guys, but that steak sandwich, chips and beer tasted good at Yarraman Hotel 👌 Nice work on the video 👍
Great vid fella, deff upto your high standards also really nice to see Danny back out kicking up some dirt looked liked you all had a pleasant days ridding. only trouble is this has only wet the whistle too see more adventure rides from ya fella

Great video! About to get a T7 after having ATAS, at what weight would you recommend getting the rear shock done? I’m 82kg and often carry gear for overnighters
All depends on what you intend to do with the bike ,, you need to consider a lot of things there is no one setup that will be perfect for big loads camping weeks away touring the country and then no load just you and the bike on a day ride with only tools tubes pump and lite bag of clothes mabie pub stay weekend ,,,,its all a compromise ,,you need to understand this , so what i do is set it up for the later with lighter load of 15kg over body weight with correct spring so the rider sag is close to perfict with no perload on the spring ,so 82kg + boots helmet jacket back pack or water hydration pack , tools tubes compressor tire levers so say 15kg on top of your body weight you want 9.5kg/mm rear spring , now if you were setting up for touring with added luggage you now need to increase pre load on rear spring knob preload ajuster to compensate and increase the damping clicker and rebound clicker ,
Thanks for the advice.. will see how it rides and go from there. From the comments I have seen on line incl yours seems like it only needs some small improvement.
really depends how hard you lean on it ,just crusing around its pretty damn good on fuel ,10 liters goes a long way 250klm and its still got 6 liters reserve say easy 340klm or more per tank 16 liters .
you do get some fuel anxiety though as last bar of fuel starts flashing and trip counter starts counting klm traveled ,most time i pull in fill it up and can only get 11 liters in it ,so safe to say 5 liters left on last fuel bar when it starts flashing , cheers mate thanks glade your enjoying the show
