Spoken by someone that knows editing👍

@@kiwiadventurer I wish I was committed enough to do this sort of thing! Takes skill and time!

Yes, they were very good riders. They have my respect.

Thanks Jai... Glad you like it. It is a labour of love.

Hi James, thanks for your comments... Yes, I think my videos are getting better and better.... I learn lots from each one. I'm glad you are enjoying them, and at least now the worst of Winter is behind you... hopefully your days are getting lighter and warmer... won't be long before you are out on the trails again.

Thanks tshansen... glad you enjoyed watching it half as much as I enjoyed making it. Yeah Mud sure makes life interesting on a bike. Enjoy Norway... lovely country and people.

Thanks Ruffian for your note. You have some great riding in South Africa.... I've only done some 4wd touring through Namibia, but it is a beautiful continent you live in.

Yup, 701 sure isn't a lightweight, but it is compared to my old 1250GS.

.... "My Next Ride will be Adventure".... clearly you are saving the best for last ;-) Thanks for your comments.

Thanks Rens. It's a labour of love. I enjoy the video production and love sharing my rides to inspire others.

Hey Henry, I used to live in Boston, so I totally get you. The Winters are tough... We are lucky here, we can ride all year around. Hopefully our adventures give you something to look forward to when things warm up. I'm riding Colorado BDR, Utah and Arizona this year... Can't wait.

Thanks Peter You will love the 701. It is my Unicorn bike and suits me perfectly. There is quite a bit of content on my channel about the 701. If you haven't seen my Flinders Ranges series, that is a good one as it is the first really long distance trip I did on the 701 (solo camping). kzfaq.info/sun/PLT32jLKJaV8McL1KmkNZCG0brXFG3_L6Q

Yes, I actually watched the your Flinders trip part 1 last night also. What incredible riding country we have in Australia that I never knew about.

Thx Dave. Yeah, I love my Skydio, I've just upgraded to the 2+ for the increased range.

@@brentbat how you manage to buy it in Australia?

@@Mr-bd3bk I spend half of my time in Austin,TX so I bought it there.

Glad to hear that you are 63 and still getting dirty. I ran into a guy from Tasmania who was > 70 years old and still riding pretty tough terrain on his KTM690.

My Husky Rocks! I love, love, love this bike. Thx for your comment.

Thanks Roz... hey funnily enough I was just watching one of your old videos of the Flinders... I'm going to go there in April for a 9day trip. Any particular recommendations or "must do's" while in the Flinders?

@@brentbat oh you lucky bugger! 😂🙏 Absolutely loved Flinders & did it twice. Brachina Gorge Road, Bunyeroo Road, Glass Gorge Scenic Road, Chambers Gorge…all fantastic ‘must do’ dirt roads. I found a lot of ‘no access’ roads throughout Flinders but I’m sure you’ll find some off the beaten tracks! 😂👍 Though there were quite a few peeps in Wilpena Pound, I still loved it as I did a stack of walks including the thigh destroying Mount Ohlssen Bagge! 🥵😫😂👍 Willow Springs was a top spot to camp & they had their own trails/tour through their private property which I hear is awesome but I loved free ranging, so didn’t do it. Arkaroola was great food & drinks…quite flash considering…and then Mark & I left from there through Gammon Ranges up through Mount Hopeless to Strzelecki and into Cameron Corner via Merty Merty. Just loved every second of it and hanging to go back again! The most breathtaking spectacular view though was on Bunyeroo Road at the Razorback Lookout. Breathtaking & imprinted in my retinas & heart forever. I can’t wait to see your journey with your wicked editing & stunning drone views. I’m jealous & wish I could escape this Alcatraz state to get back on another huge adventure. Enjoy mate…carry on! 😁👍🏁🏍💨

@@RozalynVeersma Thanks Roz for your thoughts. I can't wait. I'm doing it at the end of April.

Thanks Charles... glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Dror, thanks for your comment. I can always improve and get better :-), Yeah riding mud is kinda crazy... often it is not much fun at the time, but put's a smile on your face as you recount it afterwards with your friends. Water crossings are fun as long as you don't drown your bike (I've drowned mine once).... If you are doing water crossings, make sure you buy the special spark plug removal tool and keep it on your bike... otherwise there is no way to get the spark plugs out and de-drown it.

I really enjoyed your riding videos of trips. I wish one day I will do a ride with you guys. Its a great honor to me. Bundle of thanks for sharing your experience with everyone.

River crossing was a challenge but you guys crossed the same by your skills, that was amazing. After river crossing the track was so beautiful 😊👍

Hey Odd Angry Trail, Yes, I loved the ride and was very happy with the video. I think I'm starting to get the knack of this ;-)

You must be in WA! Hurry up and open your borders.

@@brentbatthe are plenty of us that want it.

I totally agree with you. My wife would never get on the back of a bike with me.

Wow, you will have a great adventure. I've driven around Iceland on a photography trip, but would love to do an adventure bike ride there. Enjoy the shoot... I enjoy capturing and producing the videos, and it lets me relive them after the ride is over. BP

Several of the guys I ride with also have 1250GS and they have done this ride on the GS (not the muddy stuff). But all the creek crossings.

Sorry to hear about your broken leg. yeah, those causeways can be real slippery, I treat them with a lot of respect and generally take it real easy through them.
