Always good to complete the crossing, well done. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see younger generation taking up the challenge. 😊Leave in a bit over a week to do my second solo unassisted on the mighty DRZ. And only 63yrs old! Me not the bike😊
@@markcolby5300 thanks Mark glad you enjoyed the videos. 63 years young and still out there having fun on the drz good on ya mate your an inspiration. Safe travels mate have fun👍
Great work man finally got the crossing ticked off. But you’re selling the 1000+km trip home short. Yeah it’s all about the Simo, but there’s so much in getting there and getting home. Congrats
Mate, how awesome is that!! I can fully appreciate the excitement of getting to the finish line on an amazing adventure ride! Where do you think you'll go next?
@@MotoRidesAustralia Yeah mate was certainly a great adventure for us. I’ll hopefully be doing a little challenge series next and the possibly heading south afterwards. Thanks for watching Vern appreciate it mate🤙
Curtis, that was freaking awesome mate! Just a joy to watch, smoothest edit, crazy cool scenery, and the skills needed from all of you guys was refined by the minute 😎👌 Nailed it buddy 💪😎
@@MidCoastAdventures Hey thanks Phil. Towards the end we all felt pretty versed in the language of dune riding😂such an epic adventure. Appreciate the support mate, for now the puzzle is complete…
That was bloody epic! Makes me wanna do it even more now. I know its a massive achievement to be able to say you crossed unsupported but damn it would be so much more fun on bikes not so weighed down carrying everything. That other dude near the end (on the husky i think) looked like he had the primo set up. Would you do it again unsupported? Or even again at all?
@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 hey mate , yeah id definitely do it again. I’d love to do a double crossing like they did with support and bugger all weight on the bike. The lighter our bikes got the more fun we had ridding a bit harder. Thanks for watching mate really appreciate it👍
Been watching since the cb125 days, awesome to see what you've achieved just a few years later, makes me wanna go do the same with my DRZ. Congrats on the crossing!
I very much enjoyed your videos re this Simpson Desert crossing. That was a fabulous motorcycle adventure for you 3. I was impressed with you all getting up Big Red, a finale to brag about. Well done! 👏
@@grantkorman8123 yeah it looked like a lot of the 4wd’s out there we having a blast as well. You should 100% do it, grab a mate or 2 talk them into it and go you won’t regret it. Thanks for watching Grant👍
@@anotherguyonabike4726 I know what goes into these videos let alone the adventure. Doing the Madigan line in a few weeks myself so your videos just help to motivate a little more 👍
@@bikeaction. yeah there’s definitely a lot of effort that goings into filming and putting together all the content. Sweet mate I’m now subbed I’ll be able to follow along your crossing as well👍
Awesome videos. I rode across about 3 weeks ago, thankfully supported. Big Red was super chopped up for us, and nearly drown the bike crossing the creek. And now subbed to your channel, keep them coming.
@@HardPackedADV ahhh gotcha I’m pretty sure I seen your crossing on sausage’s channel top effort from you guys. Thanks for watching mate, subbed to your channel as well👍
@@garryhern2908 hey Garry it was a fox hydration vest I was super envious of it as he always had fluids, snacks and other bits in there good bit of kit I reckon👌
@@Crofty__1. hey Sean I ran the motoz tractionator adventure on the rear and desert h/t on the front. All of us ran the adventure on the rear and Alex also had the h/t on the front like me. Performed fantastic didn’t even drop pressures either highly rate👌
