Hard to understand why you don't have 91.74K additional subscribers Joe. I love these videos of yours, you reflect upon so many aspects of these types of tours that I want to learn about. Thankyou.
Thank you Rob, I’m glad you are enjoying the series. I have no understanding how that UA-cam algorithm works, I am probably doing something wrong for it. But I enjoy exploring on the motorbike and filming and editing the stories so it’s a win-win for me.
Another cracking video Joe and a fascinating place with some lovely deserted dirt roads to explore just a shame your visit was cut short due to the weather but am sure you’ll return at some point 👍
Wow Joe, that was a fantastic episode video, you handled the rocky rivers like a breeze, hats off to the Scram ..... New Zealand sure is one amazing country, especially from your photographers eye, end shots were as usual awesome ......cheers again ......
I am loving all your vlogs of rural oz. The countryside is amazingly beautiful. I don’t do cities and crowds. I’m much more at home out in the middle of nowhere taking in nature’s scenery
Geez I was worried that you might have been kidnapped by a kangaroo when you didn’t post last week. Great video yet again. Looking forward to seeing the next episode 👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. It takes me a while to edit each video especially while being on the road, editing in a tent at night, so sometimes I can't get one done in a week, but hopefully I should miss to many weeks.
Great videos. You talk well into the video too with an engaging personality Question about bike: what sorts of speed you cruising on highways ?100kph Does the Himalayan vibrate and does it get buffeted a lot by wind and/or oncoming trucks?
Thanks mate, glad that you liked it. I sit on 110kph if it is a flat HWY, strong headwinds or step hills will reduce the speed. I rarely feel the buffering from tucks unless it is a very strong crosswind that passes the trucks side first. I have done 2 reviews on the bike if that helps, the first is at 20,000km and goes over all the details of the bike, the second is a 40,000km and goes over the bike in certain situations.

Snake are way more worried about us than we are of them. Just by walking around they will normally take off as they feel the vibrations in the ground and know we are bigger than them. So when free camping in the bush, being in a cleared area where they don't have things to hide under right next to the tent, moving around while setting up, I keep boots and long pants on until I have sent up (just incase I come across one) . Always and I mean always keep your tent zipped up even if going out of only 3o sections (also prevents spider, scorpions, bugs) and keep your boots in the tent no matter how bad they smell). It would be very rare to have a snake come to you tent or camp site.
Bugga on the conditions, it's pretty exposed there alright.You really need a week there to soak it all in. It's big for a small island. Emu bay is a choice spot. Cheers .
Excellent vid Joe! I’m watching on a wet Saturday morning in County Antrim, waiting for the rain to stop so I can get out on the Himalayan. These vids of yours are amazing 👍
Just subscribed to your channel, what a place, our roads in the states are not so free of traffic, you have to search high and low for these places, I’m all about any roads I can find free of any people and traffic of any kind, getting really scarce here, leave next week to seek out these roads on our annual yearly road trip. Keep the awesome videos coming. Rob
Great 👍 vid mate , have been waiting in anticipation for this one ☝️. I’m glad their is a lot of dirt on the island 🏝, I’m hoping to ride to WA from Wodonga, , Kangaroo island, Flinders again , Finke , Alice springs , Great central road to WA and go riding predominantly down the south of WA loop around through Albuny and Esperance and back over the Nullarbor and whatever way home 🏠👍😂
Another great video. If/when you go back, at night-time in Penneshaw the little Penguins come out of the water and waddle across the streets. you are lucky to have the remarkable rocks all to yourself. So, cold, stormy winter weather has some benefits.
Just checking the weather before I head off on the himmy for a 3 day trip in North QLD . Saw your vid and had to watch it . Time to go , have a good one mate.
G'day Joe shame about the weather while you where there. Looks like the ferry back was going to be a bit on the ruff side. K I is a beaut spot for sure, fairly flat but the amount of dirt roads make up for that. Well worth the explore.
Sometimes you get great weather sometimes you don't, but there was enough good weather to be able to explore. Yes the ride back is a bit rough and arrived at night.
@@freewayproject poor snake, when we went to seal bay there was one sleeping curled up on top of a bush, getting the sun. Right on the side of the path.
It is 411 so only a smaller bike, it doesn't have a lot of horse power but it is tune for low end torque, that's why it is good for exploring getting through hard sections while looking around. There is a newer version (450) being released by the end of the year that will have nearly double the horse power if that's a concern, but I find this bike has enough for what I do.
@@freewayproject you got me thinking in getting a Himalyan to go to the end of the world (Ushuaia). It seems pretty reliable and easy to fix. Also, can you imagine making a South America documentary for your fellow aussie riders...
What a shame about the weather. It would be a beautiful place when the Sun shines, and the sky is blue. Those bushfires were terrible for many reasons. You're a true Motorcycle Adventurer! Another great watch Joe, and your still shots are amazing. 👏👏👏😁👍
Kangaroo island is cute place, but no kangaroos? 🦘 he he, glad you find some after camping, but i remember them too in prev series 😅 Also there are perfect views on salt lakes. Don't believe it is not the main part, but thanks for them, beautiful!

glad you're on board
KI is an awesome place 👍
Definitely 👍🏻
Thanks for the insight into kangaroo island, going on my to do list.
You're welcome, it is a great place to explore
Another great video, thanks Joe
Glad you enjoyed it.
Another cracking video Joe and a fascinating place with some lovely deserted dirt roads to explore just a shame your visit was cut short due to the weather but am sure you’ll return at some point 👍
Yes, it’s an awesome place to explore. And so many dirt roads ha ha
You are a master storyteller sir.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series. Yes the scram is having no issues with that sort of terrain.
I am loving all your vlogs of rural oz. The countryside is amazingly beautiful. I don’t do cities and crowds. I’m much more at home out in the middle of nowhere taking in nature’s scenery
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the series. Yes I am the same would much rather be in the middle of nowhere
Yet another great video joe inspired by your wealth of knowledge and amazing photography. H

Question, how do campers deal with snakes in Tasmania? Or do the snakes kinda stay clear of camp grounds?
Snake are way more worried about us than we are of them. Just by walking around they will normally take off as they feel the vibrations in the ground and know we are bigger than them. So when free camping in the bush, being in a cleared area where they don't have things to hide under right next to the tent, moving around while setting up, I keep boots and long pants on until I have sent up (just incase I come across one) . Always and I mean always keep your tent zipped up even if going out of only 3o sections (also prevents spider, scorpions, bugs) and keep your boots in the tent no matter how bad they smell).
It would be very rare to have a snake come to you tent or camp site.
Thank You :)
Glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic photographs Joe. I really love the one of the himmy between the overhanging trees.
Thanks mate, me too, just had to stop
Bugga on the conditions, it's pretty exposed there alright.You really need a week there to soak it all in. It's big for a small island. Emu bay is a choice spot. Cheers .
yes it is stunning and a week would be good, but was great to get a little tasted of the island.
Damn you're living the best life with that Himalayan!
it is a lot of fun
Glad you went there so I won't waste my time😅 Looks like a good Island for convicts or masochists
It is a great place to ride, so many random dirt roads and places to explore, I'll just have to go another time when the weather/wind isn't so bad.
Hey Joe, thanks and stunning photograhy, cheers
Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying it.
Shame the weather wasn't that great Joe.... oh well... shit happens I guess.

The trees look like green cauliflowers 😊

Thanks mate, glad you’re enjoying them all the way up there in Northern Ireland
Best video of the island I’ve seen, you are “living the dream” mate

Big brown snakes have a hood a bit like a cobra when they’re angry.
well hopefully it was one and wasn't injured

That sounds like a cool trip. You might be interested in the next few episodes as I do a lot of that area.
@@freewayproject sounds great 👍
Another great episode Joe, your photography is awesome ..... cheers

Have fun up there, great time of year to be exploring up there

Love the tree lined roads, and such epic backdrops, looks a lot of fun
Yes they are stunning dirt roads to ride down and so many of them.
The tiger snakes on KI are black.
Yes it looked like a tiger snake, so probably run over by a car
@@freewayproject poor snake, when we went to seal bay there was one sleeping curled up on top of a bush, getting the sun. Right on the side of the path.
How many cc is your motorcycle? Looks like a great adv motorcycle

@@freewayproject awesome. Thanks. I'm currently riding a KLR650. What speeds you normally run? I can go about.. 60mph-65mph.
@@black_widow_overland yes about the same 100 - 110kmph similar to 60 - 65km
Care to ride in southamerica?
would love to, Patagonia looks amazing, I am sure there are so many incredible places to ride and explore
@@freewayproject you got me thinking in getting a Himalyan to go to the end of the world (Ushuaia). It seems pretty reliable and easy to fix.

Yes it is reliable and if you do have issue again easy to fix as it is basic.@@jorgeandreslinares614 Yes hopefully I can do a trip like that
