I was trying to make sure it didn't come across as clickbait (as that annoys me when the thumbnail doesn't relate to the video). Great to hear you enjoyed the first episode of the series. I hope you enjoy the series.

Thanks mate, it is great to hear you are enjoying the series. I hope you be riding in your mountains soon.

Thanks mate, the first episode is always a little slower as I am just trying to get to the good stuff 😂

I sure if you work towards it you will be.

Thanks mate, great to hear you liked it. The 450 is not in NZ as yet, still a few more weeks away, they have started closing down the tracks for winter and it is getting to cold to camp. Spoiler alert, the Scam 411 does a great job.

Sounds like fun, nothing better than getting out there.

Thanks mate, New Zealand is an epic place to explore, I could never do it justice, it a place you need to explore in person to really take in the mind-blowing scenery and the epic trails but I'll do my best.

When you get close to Queenstown and you need a bed, you’re very welcome. At the very least I’d be happy to buy you a beer and point out a couple of tracks to explore.

It's great to be back. Grateful for the loan of the bike. New Zealand is an epic place to ride, amazing trails and mind-blowing scenery.

You do live in an amazing place, the few rides I got to do around Queenstown were mind-blowning. Have fun out there.

Thanks mate, that was an awesome surprise riding down that dirt track through the trees and seeing that stunning empty bay. Lots of episodes to come.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. Yes should be good, but it is NZ so rain and cold are guaranteed .

Great to be back. Yes there has been no need for a summer jacket here haha. yes that Merlin one is great. The south island is an amazing place to explore, awesome trails, great camp spots and mind-blowing scenery.

New Zealand is an amazing place to explore, good roads, great tracks, awesome camp sites, and mind-blowing scenery.

Yes very grateful that they lent me the bike. Apparently some version did have a USB port but not this one. Yes I have been in a lot of airports and have actually heard checking staff say to people you have strapped 2 bags together so it's classed as 2 bags. So I got the bag that goes over my 70L hiking backpack (the bag is light and tough an used for when putting the back pack on the plane so all the straps and buckets don't get destroyed by baggage handlers). I got the 2 side panniers my 40L top bag, my tank bag and my helmet in there, all that under 23kg.

Thanks mate, I hope you enjoy the series, there is a lot more to come

Thanks Narayan, it is great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you like the rest of the series.

Stoked to be In NZ, it's an amazing place to explore, awesome trails and mind-blowing scenery.

Thanks mate, it great to be exploring again. New Zealand is amazing, great trails, awesome camp spots and mind-blowing scenery. Yes grateful for the use of the motorbike.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. Yes took me a bit to get it sorted, I think the episodes (tacks and scenery) should get better the further into the series we get.

They sound like some awesome rides, the Flinders is an awesome place to ride. Yes riding through the south Island has been awesome, great tracks and epic scenery. Finding places you can pitch a tent is challenging for sure, they seem to let vans/cars/RV camp anywhere, but I have manage to always find a place The App WikiCamp helped. I hope you enjoy the series.

@@freewayproject As always mate ! , hope you have a blast in NZ essentially South Island. Yes if your a RZ and have your own crapper 🚽 , your fine “ haven’t they heard of digging a hole 🕳️ 😂, “ or waiting to get to one ☝️ the following day . My recent trip cost my 65.09 per day total ( would have been 55 but love 2 coffees per day ) 😂😂😂.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. (I do have a back ground in making documentaries).

@@freewayproject I think I might have seen some of the ones you talked about in previous videos. You do have a real talent, your photography is brilliant.

Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series, there is a lot more to come.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes the 19 is definitely better on road when in those fun winding roads

Well there is always the options of riding to remote trail heads on the bike then hiking on foot.

Great to be back, New Zealand is an amazing place to explore, there should be around 16 episodes in this series.

Great to hear you enjoyed the first episode, there are are probably anther 15 episodes to come.

Stoke to be on another adventure. I hope you enjoy it.

Gosh I missed you 😊 you’re such an inspiration! I saw horses lol🐎

Thanks mate, that is awesome to hear, I hope Tasmania was fun, the high country is awesome to explore too.

Great to hear you are enjoying the new series, there will probably be around 16 episodes.

Great to be back, there's lots to come.

It is a mind-blowing place to explore, so good. Haha that's insane, or all the road to go down, then for me to actually be recoding at that time and then for me to actually include it in the episode HA.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. Yes NZ is a stunning place and the scenery gets better and better the further into the series we get.

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks mate, I picked out just the best shots for that first part, it started at over 15mins 😳 so had to whittle it down to under 2min. But it will all appear in the up coming series. The place is epic to explore, so many cool tracks.

Thanks mate, it's an amazing place to explore, great roads, epic trails, awesome camp spots and mind-blowing scenery .

@@freewayproject You’ve done an amazing job rooting out some great camp spots. I look forward to your next vids. Great style too.

Oh the Pacific North West is stunning, would like to ride through there all the way up the boarder into Canada. yes very similar to that area. it is quite dry here at the moment I have been told.

Olá Ricardo, espero que você goste do passeio

thanks mate, it's an epic place to explore, epic trails and mind-blowing scenery .

Thanks mate, New Zealand is an awesome place to explore.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. The Te WaiPounamu is mind-blowing, other worldly. Yes the 450 isn't there for a bit longer and the track will start to close by then and it will be a lot colder, the Sram is doing the job.

It's good to be back. The south Island is an amazing place to explore, awesome trails and mind-blowing scenery.

New Zealand is an amazing place to explore. Yes I'll share my thoughts along the way the do a review of the Scram and how it compares the the Himalayan.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. NZ is an epic place to explore.

Definitely worth doing, trails are awesome, the scenery is mind-blowing and great places to camp. I think February is the best time. I was delayed a bit but still good weather.

Thanks mate, yes the place is mind-blowing to explore.

It's great to be back Larry, thank you as always for the support. New Zealand is an amazing place to explore, the roads are great the tracks are amazing, good spots to camp and the scenery is mind-blowing, lots of episodes to come.

@@freewayproject It will be interesting to see how the Scram performs vs the Himalayan

@@larrykaminski3269 yes, it will be interesting, I'll do a review once the trip is done.

It is great to be back, NZ is epic, good road, great track, awesome camp site and mind-blowing scenery. Yes very grateful for the loan of the bike otherwise I would not be able to do it.

@@freewayproject thanks for the reply Joe 👍enjoy

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. Yes it gotten down to 1 degree a little chilly.

Yes mind-blowing does sum it up, it is definitely worth going and exploring there. NSW has some incredible places to explore I see it as just different than NZ no worse no better, unique in it's own way. For example the first episode of the A rough idea series going out to the "Walls of China" in Mungo National park was mind-blowing on sunset.

@@freewayproject I love to see that too ! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos !

It's great to be back, this journey is a special one, I hope you enjoy the series.

I am glad you are along for the ride. Probably the main reason I avoid dust is I ride alone (most of the time), most dust normally comes from other vehicles. Also yes the backpack which is a Shimoda (shimodadesigns.com) is design for this type of thing, keeping snow (water) and dust out. So I have never really had an issue with dust. I also have sensor cleaners with me as I need to change the lens a far bit. I went through Wānaka and there was a camera store charging sensor cleaning starting at $90, you can buy a sensor cleaning pack of 10 for $20 and it takes less than 2 mins, I've been doing it for years in the middle of nowhere and never had an issue cleaning it. The camera stores try to scare people off from doing it yourself so they can make easy money.

It is good to be back, NZ is an epic place to explore, great trails and mind-blowing scenery and yes great camping spots.

thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed the first episode of the series. It is a lot of fun exploring a new country on a motorbike, roaming through the mountains and coast line.

Thanks mate, I hope you enjoy the series.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed the first episode. It is an amazing place to explore the trails are epic and the scenery is mind-blowing. Thanks for the offer.

@@freewayproject Thanks for your reply. By the way, I meant we're 30 mins from the Picton ferry.

Great to be back, yes New Zealand is an amazing place to explore and yes very grateful for the loan of the bike.

Thanks mate, it is an epic place to explore so definitely do it. Yes I am very grateful for the loan of the bike.

I hope you enjoy the new series Neil, yes definitely an amazing place to explore.

Good to be back. New Zealand is epic to explore, awesome trails and mind-blowing scenery. Apparently the 450 is a good step above the 411 so it should be a lot of fun.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. Yes it is an amazing place to explore.

@@freewayproject keep up the great work Joe. I see their have big Raps on the Enfield maybe you should him them up when you get back

Thanks mate, I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks mate it is good to be back. Well I can tell you I am quite surprised with the scram, even with the 19inch wheel on front it is getting the job done off road with no issues. I have not tried any really steep rocky hill climbs but the rest of it, the bike is doing with ease. Also it is noticeably better on the tarmac on winding roads compared to the 21inch knobbly on my Himalayan.

Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed the first episode anther 16 to come. NZ is an epic place to explore, trails are so much fun and the scenery is mind-blowing.

The south Island if definitely one to put on the list, mind-blowing scenery, awesome tracks, a riders paradise.

Thanks Richard, great to hear you are enjoying the series. That bike build sounds like a fun project and yes definitely get out there, you never know what you might find.

Good to be back, New Zealand is an awesome mind-blowing place to explore.

The bike was a score

@@stevematalone2512 yes it was, I am vet grateful

Yes stoke to be on another one, New Zealand is an epic place to explore.

Yes it is, actually some of the places are mind-blowing, like a movie set.

Yes New Zealand is an amazing place to explore, the scenery is mind-blowing.

Thanks for the welcome, I have learnt that since being in NZ. It an epic place and mind-blowing scenery. I have also meet incredible people.

Thanks mate, I hope you enjoyed this New Zealand series, there are a few other on the channel if they interest you.

New Zealand is mind-blowing and I know I will barely scratch the surface of what is here, you'll see in the next episode (episode 4) that the trails start to get fun. I would love to explore the trails in the Smoky mountain, i have traveled through there before but not one a motorbike. Hopefully I can plan a trip there in the not to distance future. Have fun out there.

It is epic to be here. Such an incredible place to explore. Really haha yes one other person said I rode past his house too. The chance of me taking the same road as you, then me filming at that time, then me using that footage, then you watching it is very small, which blows my mind.

Thanks, it is great to be back and exploring again.

Thanks mate, great to be back, NZ is an epic place to explore, so many epic trails and the scenery is mind-blowing.

Olá, obrigado, a Nova Zelândia é um lugar incrível para explorar, espero que você esteja se divertindo no seu RE Himalyan
