When I did the all rounder in 22 it was definitely the people you meet and the small acts of kindness that I remember most. so much so I am doing it again in 25. cheers enjoyed you vlog.
Awesome when you have a plan
Great video. I hope to one day be skilled enough to take on this type of adventure.
Look at those views rolling in! Timed it beautifully. Everyone is probably searching "floods" with all this rain as well 😁
River crossings, sand dunes, isolation, flooded roads, classic pubs, rim damage Mark this ride had it all, great video, great edit and crackn trip!!
Cheers mate
Camped at Noccundra on the postie last year & yeah the food is great. Neil & his missus are excellent hosts, the pub is a welcome sight after a long ride. Enjoyed the video, thanks for creating & sharing.
Cheers i was stocked to see the pub in the middle of nowhere awsome sight to see ..
enjoyed this recording to, thanks, i'll look forward to your next
Well done mate great video. Reminded me of my first crossing when it took me 6 goes and I eventually cartwheeled over big red more the rode over it lol. It gets easier with practice. Not a fan of those roads in the wet that was a lot of water. Still better then the ice skating ring the the Strez and Birdsville track becomes after the rain.
Awesome video thanks great effort
Great vid - thanks!
I was planning a cross-Aus (Byron to Steep) trip to have departed this month (April 2024) but the weather has quite firmly said ‘no’ :).
I’ve got the same bike and tyres are interesting to me: What tyre pressure were you running when you dinged the rim?
MotoZ RallZ or Adventure are brilliant. I went from them to Anakee Wild front and rear and took the Anakees off after 800km and returned to RallZ.
Give the RallZ front a go too - it has way more offroad grip than the Anakee.
A trick with the MotoZ is they can be run at 35 psi everywhere, zero rim damage but comfy and grippy at that pressure. The Anakee had to be aired down to 28-30psi to get the same off tar performance, reducing confidence with rocks.
Running the Anakee at 35psi off tar is harsh and sketchy. Moreso at the rear than the front. And the rear 150 wide Anakee is visually the size of a MotoZ 140 or smaller - they’re tiny.
Was that rear tyre at $180 a 140/80-18 tubed version? The 150/70-18 tubeless version is much much wider and usually goes for around $350.
If you’re keen to try sand again, a simple technique is to have nothing on your passenger area of the seat and sit there - reduces tendency for front end to tuck and the need to death grip. Keep speed over about 50kph and kinda ‘surf’ it around by gently pushing the inside bar and letting the bike tip and wiggle around; a fair bit of throttle to prevent slowing down. It’s a great way to approach that shit coarse gravel too.
25 psi front ...i did ride 18 months back rear tyre was 150 the tyre was the only one in the shop to suit my bike so surprised on price maybe cheaper back then
Awesome video brother, what an awesome trip!!
Get the $ and time we can do it again
@@throttleridingadventures One day hopefully
Great vid highlighting a wet outback...shaving cream 😂
Here we go didn’t take long sausage lol
I'll settle in for another holiday 👍
Yep time to downsize to the 690
every video of outback is flooded--- the place should look like a rainforest
We rode a postie bike from brisbane to darwin last year. Hells Gate to Borroloola was insane.
It wasnt you i made a comment about a while back 🫠 on fb ?
I'm surprised you made it that fsr up the dune in slip 9!!!
Just watched, awesome 👍.
When you made the comment Motoz where 💩 I thought what the F🦆. I've been running Motoz now for years. Desert H.T front & rear on the KTM 690 Enduro & Motoz Adventure tyres on the KTM 1290 , now called Dualventure & seriously I wouldn't use anything less.
Just planning my next Big ride & can't wait.
Anyway great vid, good effort 👍
When i said cheap i meant it .it was like $180 fitted lol now there like $360 fitted
When's your next Big trip
With in the next 6 months that big being from end to end of Aus but doing interstate a fair bit
It’s now Cameron’s creek
Technically you were on big red , but the real tracks are on the other side there's like 5 ways up on one side easy to hard.
100% i recon the muddy boggy side would be way eaier
Hey mate,
What tyres do you run?
Funny that trip was 1.5 years ago i loved that combo so much ive kept running same tyres on 3rd rear now done 20k on bike since that upload
What drone did you crash
Was a mini 2
Is your advice not to travel bush roads with tubeless tyres in case you bend a rim then your buggered jimmy WA
I would 100% take a tube if tubless ..if you bust a rim and cant get a bead your screwed
Smaller bike. Lern to ride.
Cheers mate awsome advice 😂
Learn to Spell 😂
Need glasses. Lol.
Learn to ride sand. 😂
Was half asleep. Like your riding. 😂
The rain just transforms the country doesn't it? Great footage, great ride!
