Thats an insane amount of extra weight for sand riding! Top effort!
Awesome! You guys don't know how fortunate you are to have such a wonderful country. Places to ride are abundant and you have a very good evacuation service provider. Why wasn't I born Australian!?? Nice videos Keith and well done for just about everything you put out for us to see. Excellent.
Great work Keith. Lots of work in that one. The desert is looking fantastic.
awesome! having done the french line want to do madigan now ;)
50 liters of fuel - beyond GS Adventure supertanker volumes😬. Impressed how you handled all that weight in those conditions👍
This is fascinating mate! UA-cam has just put me across your channel, i love the contrast of the archive footage and your own. Great ride there 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
@4:46 only in Australia would a border between states be a cattle stop!
Hi from NZ,
Anthony
Great video Keith! Thanks for taking the time to put in the extra info about the various places along the way and maps showing where you are riding in each bit of the video 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant Keith, loved the history to start. Looking forward to more from you mate.
Thanks! The history does add to it, doesn't it?
Excellent
Looks like some epic riding. Good on ya Keith!!
🙂 great video!
Excellent video mate. Perfect weather, very jealous going through on the 4th I think temp will be around 30
Great video Kieth, really enjoying your work
Thanks 👍
Great video. Did Madigan last year supported and camped first night at Camp 5. If I remember right it was a left turn and 100m down a track. Easy to miss!
Sounds about right. Next time I'll check it out!
Great ride. Think I'll do it the easy way,with no luggage 😆
That would be a great way to do it... you could actually have fun out there, not dealing with all the weight, nor worrying about literally everything that goes with doing it unsupported!
Hey Keith 4 of us are doing it support next year with a Canam (Fuel, Water and Fuel) following and the 4x4 in the front. If ya keen to come supported unloaded let me know.
“Jamie, put up that video of the Grizzly chasing down the guy on a KTM 500”.
did the simpson in 20 litres on my crf300 fully loaded, although that 30 litres less fuel weight is still there hidden away in that big fat red pig compared to the ktm 500
The one issue [ as with many other bikes ] is the carrying of fuel. I have a mate in Europe on constant watch for a second hand set of "rear rally tanks" for my EXC. Too exxy to buy new, but 14/15 L or so tucked away at the rear would be nice.....
In Europe you're rarely more than 100 km from a gas station. I have the same tank as Keith and most people just shake their head at me "needing" 400 km range. I kind of regret not getting a 12 liter tank and using a bladder for longer rides. :)
Noice!
It certainly had been done before and it's worth noting Madigan couldn't manage it without a "black tracker". Those so-called explorers discovered nothing.
Yes you are certainly correct; what I should've said is "not done before by a non-indigenous person".
Mate...what communication do you have
We used Sena 50R intercoms exclusively this trip.
I hate to say this but by overloading the 500 with so much weight you are negating any advantages of having a light adv style bike and the handling is way worse than say a Tenere with that weight on it. You’re using the wrong tool for the job.
flat country or what....holy crap
