      Definitely an adventure!
      Thanks for joining me and making my original route much more interesting.
      Having good company made it a great trip!

    Great ride and an awesome trip! It was a really good watch. Andy's idea of keeping the finger ready near the killswitch on the deep crossings is good one.

      Good advice just in time, very next crossing I dropped it in the drink.

      Yes, big 3 days. 5hrs riding after signing off with only 2 quick fuel stops

    Great effort on the "Triple Treat"...I have to get up there and do them at some point...coming into a Victorian winter, I'm not too sure I will get up there until late in the year.

    • @OzADVRider
      @OzADVRider  7 місяців тому +1

      Thanks mate. It's going to be getting cold up there and some of the tracks will start closing for winter.
      I originally planned a 4 day trip which would of been a lot better, I rode from Blue rag to Ballarat only stopping twice for fuel. Next time.

    Good mate! can't believe andi carries a headlight bulb.
    You did the big climb leaving bluerag ok so you would have done the last bit to I think. Steeper but shorter. I've got a vid on it if you want to see it

    • @OzADVRider
      @OzADVRider  7 місяців тому

      He even had a bottle of wine with him. Finished it off over the trip.
      I could have done the last bit of blue rag once my clutch started working again but at the time I was worried about getting home. Gives me an excuse to go back and finish the job.
      I just subscribed to your channel. I'll check it out tomorrow.

    The 4x4 are ripping the track to pieces 😁
    Maybe go up in September....... I would be game to do an overnighter in Bright if interested. Take a fun way to bright and then up Blue Rag and then back down into Bright or Harrietville for the night. Let me know your thoughts.

    • @OzADVRider
      @OzADVRider  5 місяців тому

      Could be interested. Keen to finish off Blue rag.
      Originally this trip was 4 days, planned on camping near Bright and taking a more scenic route home. There's some nice campgrounds at Dangdongadale.

    That looked like one of the more challenging tracks you’ve shown us. Did you have to replace the clutch?

    • @OzADVRider
      @OzADVRider  7 місяців тому +1

      Very challenging trip! Hard on me and the V-Strom.
      I'm in the process of changing the clutch now. The friction plates were at the bottom limit, and the springs were under size.

    Mate , a lot of the time the video doesn't show up the steepness of the hills . Those hills must be steep as watching the vid me tense up . Cheers .

    • @OzADVRider
      @OzADVRider  7 місяців тому +1

      It was definitely steep!
      The scary bit were the holes that I didn't see till the last second. The video doesn't show how big they were.
