  • With restrictions lifted I along with some mates get back out there for a Mini Adventure Ride. It's full of amazing sites, awesome tracks, great laughs, and a little carnage along the way.
    Hopefully, you enjoy the adventure as much as we did.
    Cheers, ride safe and see you on the trails.

    Your “production” quality is getting even better with each new video.
    I’m loving them. This trip has been full of “interest”. Just perfect viewing.
    I know what an effort it takes to produce this stuff but it’s going to provide great memories when you are no longer capable of riding these roads.

    • @Shadower75
      @Shadower75  4 роки тому

      Your comments mate make all the time and effort in making the videos worth it. And you are right about the memories when we can't ride any longer. Can you imagine in 30 years time and we all sit down and watch it with a beer. The laughter will be deafening.
      Thanks again for your support mate.

    Craig, I don’t know where to start mate. Thank you so much for your videos. I am currently laid up with a broken ankle from a recent Adventure Bike weekend away with some mates. I came off on our way to Nundle ( near Tamworth) and probably foolishly continued on to Nundle for an over nighter and then back home through Barrry Sration and Barrington the next day. I guess as I had organised the ride and wanted to see it through! 😩. The injury resulted in an operation with a plate and screws inserted and at this stage probably 2 months off work. Your videos have not only given me some inspiration to recover and get back on the bike but also they have got me through a few dark times emotionally as my recovery doesn’t allow me to do too much and being a burden on the family. The Simpson Desert crossing looked epic and the whole series was like watching Netflix! I was always looking to see what was happening next. So again thanks for your videos they have lifted my spirits and above all you seem like a good bloke as well. Regards Trev.

    Hi Craig. Really terrific video and thanks for posting details of your ride. My brother and I tried to follow your ride and did the Guineacor FT today from Taralga as it happened after last night rain. The going north was hairy stuff as you’ve shown but we made it. We reached the creek which was fairly high but knew there’s no going back as going down to the creek was muddy. And going down was steep! Riding DR650 and DRZ400 with packs we continued to the Range FT, Mt Werong road, 6FT track and pine forest roads home to Blue Mountains. Anyway, just want to thank you for your enjoyable and informative videos with great ideas for adventure riding. Kind regards.

    Just watched the first one when the Ducati goes down on the rough down hill section. Reminds me of a ride I did in August 2020 here on the West Coast of the South Island of NZ. One of the places we were going up was nearly 5000 feet high and the guy who had sorted the ride told me on the phone he'd been up it in his D-Max and I would get up there on my big bike ( Moto Guzzi Quota 1100, 245 kg dry ). On the day it rained ( he had gone up there in his D- Max in dry conditions ), the big bikes in the group were my Quota, KTM 990 and 1290, BMW HPE and 800 GS all the rest were 650 and smaller. The climb started ok but then got amazingly steep, with ruts and turns that were so tight I was having to slip the clutch in 1st gear to get around them. Some of the smaller bikes had pulled out in front and ripped the top off the surface so now it was wet clay and mud. The only way to get up there on the big bikes was to keep up as much speed as you could which was juggling between having the back sliding around under power so giving it less throttle and not enough speed and you would probably come to a stop and not be able to start again. Got to within 200 meters of the top and it was closed in cloud and you couldn't see so myself and a couple of others stopped there. The BMW HPE slid off the track on the way up, a couple of the small bikes didn't make it to the top, but the worst was to come we had to go down the same way, I just remember sitting on the bike looking at how steep the descent was thinking as soon as I start I'm committed, I'm not going to be able to stop easily if at all. It was so steep and long that myself, the 990 & 1290 KTM's and both BMW's all boiled our back brake fluid and lost our back brakes. First gear on my bike was too tall to hold the speed down enough and you needed to hold the speed down to be able to take the many hairpin corners. I dumped it on the way down, ( lost the front under brakes ), I slipped over just walking around the bike when it was lying on the ground. The 990, HPE and GS 800 also went down. But that night over a cold beer it was the most talked about part of the days riding and even though it trained me, I loved it and would have another go if I had the chance, but I'd make sure it's dry first and I had fresh brake fluid. Have enjoyed your doco's, I'm starting to think I might have to come up with some bucket list rides in Aus.

Its funny that we remember the hard slogs, where it goes wrong, bikes break or theres a bit of drama more then we remember the rides that just go smoothly. Guess it all adds to the adventure.

      @@Shadower75 Yeah going good, as I said I find the rides you are doing really interesting. My brother did an orgainised ride from Melbourne to Perth, across the Simpson when he turned 50. I think sometime in the future ( when my daughter is abit older ) I could orgainise a few mates to do something similar, but I would prefer to do it unsupported like you do, anyhow enjoy the vids, keep them coming and hopefully the light at the end of tunnel in NSW is not too far away.

    That was classic when the "expert" In the fancy Leatt gear went in the drink and the old BMW tractored across. those 701 keep boys drinking that husky coolade. But I just want to say, you are the best Adv rider vlogger on YT and its frustrating that you don't have more material , subs and views. But I get it. The whole work , family life thing is more important. But you are great at this. and better than some other Aussie floggers on here. keep up the great work and I hope to meet up some day to shake your hand. :)

    • @Shadower75
      @Shadower75  4 роки тому +5

      Hey Blenderbends, thanks heaps for some of your comments mate. Really humbling but I dont think I'm the best out there that's for sure.
      Not sure where you got the 'Expert' in Leatt gear from. Don't all adventure riders wear some sort of motorcycle jacket? Does the jacket indicate how good you are? I thought the jacket was for protection, warmth and comfort.
      I checked out your channel and saw you have a Klim Carlsbad jacket. Very nice jacket however its triple the price of the Leatt so does that make you 3 times a expert rider?
      I'm pretty sure any rider, at any stage, on any bike could have a moment and drop their bike. Therefore having a drop doesn't make you any worse or better then anyone else. There were no experts on this ride and no one pretending to be a expert just because of the gear they are wearing.
      Also I have no idea what you mean by the 701 boys drinking husky coolade??
