Well you ticked off a few of my favorite places up there Tom... Your camping spot, The Valley of the Dinasaurs (as you call it).... that is a frigging cool track up there.... also HillBilly Cider.... nothing better than a beer or cider and one of their pizzas after a day in the bush. 👍. And good on you for getting those grubs to pick up their trash.
Cracker vid mate. Glad you told the group to get their shit together. I head out that way a fair bit and it’s not just glass… it’s plastic bags, broken camp equipment, toilet paper, cans, plastic bottles…. Everything left behind is the issue. Personally If people bring glass I find it’s fine if they are responsible and they take it back with em. All about giving a good name to bike and 4bs and that’ll keep less pressure off them and the tracks that get closed down. Anywho, keen for the next vid!
2:54 Yes... there are people who like bush and camping, and then there are the Yoboos. Like everything, it is the few who can stop the many by their actions.
Loved the video as always mate! And also love that you taught the hypocrits some manners, and told them to pick up their trash! It angers me here when people throw their cigarettes butts everywhere... I would love to see them swallow their trash... 🤬🤬
I do live out in woop wang and the 23 is only just enough for the way I ride. Also I'm a very experienced rider with desert racing back ground and after 3000ks I'm now feeling confident on the world raid and it is efing unreal how well it handles.
I was trained from a very young age that you only take cans camping. as i got older, the only exception is that I will take a bottle of bourbon and a box of coke cans to mix my own. But the bottle never leaves the back of the 4by and then leaves with us and the rest of the rubbish.
So good. Bren Dog was right about the brake pedal (and the camping thing) and some companies have really expensive solutions for this but i just got a $20 brake pedal extension from NiceCNC and it helps heaps. The Tenere is one of few bikes that will allow you to ride stupidly fast on dirt with the standard 50/50 tyres especially uphill. As long as it isn’t bad mud or clay. Says a lot about the bike itself. You guys rock. 🤘🏾
I do live out in woop wang haha and the 23L is only just enough for the way I ride. Avg about 9L/100 Also I'm a very experienced rider with desert racing back ground and after 3000ks I'm now feeling confident on the world raid and it is efing unreal how well it handles. 10/10 would recommend a would raid.
I have the same frustrations as you about people not cleaning up after themselves. It shits me to no ends. One of my biggest pet peeves while riding/bushwalking is finding rubbish. I remember finding maccas rubbish out on the trails and thinking to myself, the nearest maccas is bloody 75km away, why the hell have you tossed it out of your window in the middle of a state forest. It absolutely shits me to no end and its people like that who give 4WDers, Trail bike riders and bushwalkers a bad name.
Your rant………..this happened in the early 00’s in the USA. My home state of Washington had TONS!! Of state owned roads and land that were legal to ride and drive on. Even shoot guns. Well, people would leave all their empty shell casings, trash they shot, or just up to dump trash. In the early 00’s the roads and access to the land started to get shut down. We lost lots of good spots. Any time we went, we usually picked up extra trash and left the area cleaner than we found it. But just the select few who were like us was not enough.
Great vids mate. I'm in the middle of research for a Mid size adventure bike. I see you've ridden both the Ducati Desert x and the Tenere. In your honest opinion which one is your preferred bike for tourring Australia, so everything that classsic Australian tracks can dish out..not Hard Enduro single but the rest. Which one would you prefer to be on? I'm leaning towards the Desert X. id be pretty interested to hear your thoughts.
I like the bike but You couldn't really call it a baby T7 as it's only 10 kg lighter or 5% difference, but a good price for what it is, I'd say they'll sell heaps.
What gets my blood boiling is that people can carry stuff into a camp site or onto a hiking trail but cannot bring it back out again after making use if it. I was passing a car on my motorcycle one day when a woman threw out a nappy, which landed in my lap. I pulled her over on tossed the used nappy back into her car. She gave me a peace of her mind. Like it was my problem. One cannot argue with stupidity.
+💯 about these dimwits that trash the tracks, forest & bush. You are spot on about it’s a sure fire way to have roads & tracks closed due to irresponsible dipsh*ts that dump trash, vehicles and don’t respect the natural environment.
I see no problem with glass, or anything else, as it is the people that are the problem. Like a knife is fine, but deadly in the hands of a ####. A personal story: Decades ago, my sister, on a family day out at a beach, suffered a huge gash in her foot after stepping on a broken beer bottle buried in the sand. She lost a hell of a lot of blood by the time she got to hospital, and screamed the place down when the doctor was cleaning the cut of sand. I don't recall why, but they had to clean the cut without any pain relief at the time. This was over fifty years ago. She was just a little kid about sx or seven.
I’ve never understood why people are happy to cart heaps of stuff into a camp site but then will leave cans, bottles, plastic wrappers and other crap behind for the next campers to come across and deal with. Very disappointing. My motto is - if you brought it in then take it out. Take only photos, leave only footprints.
Have bought tons of glass to tons of campsites and never smashed a single item, if I did I'd clean it up, simple. Anyone smashing glass deliberately in the bush is an idiot. We need less people banning stuff. Who would police it, the campsite glass force? Everyone's into it all of a sudden these days. Some people would be happy to ban noisy motorcycles on bush tracks because of wildlife and walkers.
It’s a shame with a trip this great the talking point is rubbish and idiots camping. Hopefully with the large sub count more will see this and not take glass into the bush. And also a camp fire is no where near as hot as a blast furnace. Beer cans, folding chairs and foil trays won’t melt away to nothing like you think. Sadly not enough will get this message, and in 5 years time national parks will have a blanket no camping ban followed by state parks soon after. You can’t stop humans being humans :(
Well done Brendawg for telling them to pick up their rubbish.
Should have got thier rego numbers and reported to the epa. Only way idiots like that learn if there’s a big fine in the mail
Broken bottles do the magnifying glass thing in the middle of summer… many fires get traced back to bottles and dry grass/leaves.
Always enjoy your banter. The beaut tracks are a bonus.
Loved you matching up with our old mates tenere... that one came over from Switzerland.. he would have loved that track u took..
Always enjoy Tom’s vids ☺️

what is the track called?
@@paullatsas5217 The real name is "Genowlan Summit Track".... but I do like "Valley of the Dinosaurs".... that sounds more descriptive 🙂
@@brentbat many thanks
The Valley of the Dinosaurs track looks like a lot of fun and it looks like you two had a lot of fun there.
Loved it mate!
Nice save during the rant, Tom!
Props on keeping the rant reasonable and respectful, you'd think you wouldnt have to say it but here we are

Loving the weekly vids Tom... you make laugh 😆👍
Great video Tom - thanks for posting. Loved the valley of Dinosaurs and the Ivan Malat connection.

Mixing bourbon? Only with ice, the frozen water variety, don’t really want to try the chemical ( breaking bad) version.
I love and prefer a clean bush!

“I cannot remember my life outside of this tunnel” 😂😂
We can dream of a lightweight Tenere 400 or maybe a WR300/450R...
Our latest video was getting to the campsite in time for the Sprint Race!! 😜
A clean bush is a happy bush.
Nobody likes a dirty or smelly bush. 😂
Shout out Oregon 🤘🏁
Very nice. Now, which one between Desert X and World raid would you chose if you had to pick one?
Twin tanks on the T7 is the way to go but 9 litres per side only thanks Mr Yamaha.
I do live out in woop wang haha and the 23L is only just enough for the way I ride. Avg about 9L/100

Hi Tom, what is the name of the camp site on the cliff side at the start of the video?
Great vids mate. I'm in the middle of research for a Mid size adventure bike. I see you've ridden both the Ducati Desert x and the Tenere.

You should have a look at the cfmoto 450mt give us your feedback
Did you avoid these toll roads
Are you running fuel bladders? Just got my T7 and the fuel light comes on so early keeps getting me nervous
It's the damn 4 wheel Bois. You never see 2 wheels with trash
What's with the no Gloves thing?
The new CF Moto 450MT is literally a baby 400 Tenere. They feel very similar it's actually a cracking little bike and selling like hotcakes
I really want to try one
They are nice lots of bells and whistles.
I like the bike but You couldn't really call it a baby T7 as it's only 10 kg lighter or 5% difference, but a good price for what it is, I'd say they'll sell heaps.
Where is this?
oi tommo do you still work a regular gig or is this your full time now?
also that tunnel sucks i have to drive that twice a day 5 days a week
Very much hobby and always will be, I spend 5x as much money making vids as I make back from UA-cam
@@RidingWithTom keep it up and that will be the other way around Tom
…. And he was never heard from again….
Get a super sport again ya dog
