Thanks John, glad you are enjoying the series. Ummmm do people actually film fake crashes and put them on here? That seems really weird.

Yeah its a thing

@@johnjakowenko8521 🤦🏼‍♂

thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you are still enjoying the series Luis. It would be cool to do something with the images in the future, maybe once I have done a few more trips.

Glad you're enjoying the series mate, yes Tasmania is stunning. There are a few more to come from this trip then the next adventure I am thinking of heading west. I hope the weather is good for riding where you are now, winter there doesn't look that inviting to be out on the roads.

Thanks David, happy you enjoyed the first series. I am thinking of heading back up through the Victoria High country again as I have to get to Torquay (may as well make it a fun trip. I have the Hema app but found it incredible hard to use. I'll see if I can find the 25 trails you mentions as I would really like to explore that area again. If you have any suggestion for the Victoria High Country I would love to hear them.

Yes it's alway good to have a bike still when you wake up, just stoked that it is not the alternative.

Thanks Tomosan, glad you are enjoying there series, there are a few more form this ride, then only the next 😁

Thank you for the information David, I'll start researching them now.

It is a great spot, I have stayed there twice now.

Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the series. Yes there are so many amazing places to explore and camp out there and thousands more I still need to find 😂

Yes a great area to ride though, hoping to go back once get back from my current ride in Western Australia. Hopefully I'll have more time to explore more dirt roads and tracks.

Glad you enjoyed it Corey, yes you're right there, nothing better.

Yes it is startling how many trees are dead, apparently it is do to the native longicorn beetle.

@@freewayproject wow, thanks for the info. I haven't heard of them before

Thanks as always Larry, I'm happy you're still enjoying them. there are probably another 3 left in this series.

Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the series. I am a big fan of BC, I've sent a lot of time there, especially Squamish. Riding some epic trails on enduro bikes there.

Totally with you Kevin. so diverse, just an amazing place to explore.

Thanks Jason, yes it's a great camp spot. There are still a few to come from this trip. Then I'll work out the next one.

Thanks Simon, there are a few more to come from this trip. then onto the next. I am thinking of heading west, like way west to the Indian.

Thanks Currie, I bet I have miss hundreds of good places to explore too. I am going to come back to this area with more time and do a lot more research.

yes it's stunning. I am going to head back again for longer and with more research to explore a lot more, I know I must have ridden past so many cool trails and places to explore.

Thanks Catalina, well I am going to head west to the other side of Australia so if I get enough decent images from both the trip I might look into doing a book.

Thanks mate glad you are enjoying the series. Yer I suck at pronunciation, I think I get about 75% wrong, so in the more recent videos I have been putting the name of the town in text on the screen, now I just have to try spell them right 😂

Thanks mate, glad you liked it. The Himalayan I ride is under the 600cc or what ever the limit is so its a LAMS bike

Thanks Frank, I am glad you are enjoying the series, there are a few more to come from this trip.

Thanks, glad you're still enjoying the ride. That trail you mentioned is in the next episode, this Friday.

Thanks for the info Greg, I got confused with it having windows as I didn't think the yellow Firefighting helicopters I have seen before had windows.

Yes it is a stunning area. The Camp site is called Hinnomunjie Bridge near Omeo, definitely worth checking out.

Just stumbled across your channel, very easy viewing. Timely coming across this vid. I’m off on pretty much the exact route Monday for an overnighter loop from Melb over Eildon-Jsmieson, Hotham, Omeo. Great riding!

it is a great ride Trent, if you haven't see the episode before this one, I go from Melbourne to Eildon, camp on the Lake, there is some good camping there. Have fun out there on your ride.

@@freewayproject ahh I know that area well. Broke 5 ribs coming off on Big River river road a few years ago but we don’t speak of this 🙄

oh, breathing would have sucked for a while.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Carpediem, I barely scratch the surface, I'll be going back for a lot longer trip, it looks like there is a lot more great riding there.

Thanks Rowdyb64, it is a great camp site. The camp spot is called Hinnomunjie bridge. put this into google if you want to find it. 3J34+MQR Omeo Valley, Victoria

It has been a great ride, NSW, VIC and the lap Around Tasmania, there is a little bit left, then onto the next one 😁. I think West, way west. Definitely hit the road, it's always an worth the adventure.

I like what you're doing with your brand 👌🏻

@@freewayproject thanks so much! It has been a lot of fun so far!!

Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying it.

Thank you, it is greatly appreciated, it will go towards exploring more.

Yes the Victoria High Country does have some stunning landscapes, glad you are enjoying the series.

Agree absolutely stunning job, thks Joe

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. That Camp site was at Hinnomunjie Bridge in the Omeo valley.

that makes sense now. Yeh I knew I would screw Porepunkah up 😂. I got onto Google Pronounce I tried to copy the way it said it, but I am sure google gets half of them wrong anyway.

Thanks for the offer mate but I have already moved on. I feel I missed all the best riding in the area but definitely will be back with more time and doing a lot more research I can only imaging how good the riding is if you know the area.

@@freewayproject North East Vic / Southern NSW some of the best off road riding in Australia. I’m going through northern NSW to Cairns in Early June if your about .

So sorry to hear that Larry, I hope the surgery at least fixed the issue. Well I have finished the next ride, I am now trying to edit each episode, new episode should be up today.

Thanks for watching Elissandro, I'll have to see how I can do that, thanks for the idea. I love Brazil I got to surf in florianopolis and Rio.

Well we are great a butchering the English language, I'm supposed it's not just called "Kozee" 😂

Thanks Frankie, I think I got confused with the helicopter having window as the others I have seen didn't seem to have windows.

Yes the bike is doing a great job. I got confuse with the large helicopter having windows all the way along it, so assumed it wasn't a firefighter one, I had only seen the yellow firefighting ones before.

Yea it's a Sikorsky S-61 based in Australia for the bushfire's. Also would you be able to do a gear over view? Including camera gear, camping gear and other gear that you carry? I want to start doing some adventure riding and camping, I would love to have an idea on what you carry, the size and weight of it all.

yes that road was awesome. so many fun roads in the area, I am going to go back with more time and more research, I must have missed so many good places to explore and ride. The camp spot is called Hinnomunjie bridge. put this into google if you want to find it Next time. 3J34+MQR Omeo Valley, Victoria

@@freewayproject Thank you, I found it! Here is a camp site for you for next time. Opposite your river camp site is Newman's Road, which leads to Mount Terrible. Don't take it! Good for coming down, not so good for going up! Take Mt Terrible track instead (off Eildon-Jamieson Rd closer to Jamieson) 15km off-road climbing and you get to Mount Terrible. Good place to stay for a night. It even has a hut with a wood stove!

thanks, that sounds awesome.

Thanks mate. I am using a DJI Osmo Action for filming when on the bike (from the chin of the helmet) otherwise I using a Sony A7SIII. I am taking photos with a Sony A7RIII, I only have room for 2 lenses Sony GM 24mm 1.4 and Sony GM 70mm - 200mm 2.8. I also have an old DJI Mavic Pro drone from 2016. I have a laptop with me to edit and use a portable hard drive as well.

Thanks Ron. I have found chain are fine to over 10 000km, they don't need adjusting but then once you adjust it then time between adjustments gets shorter, then it depends on the conditions you ride it in, an average chain I have found you get between 14 000 - 1800km, I am not sure if more expensive chains last longer. I gather there are forums out there with information on other peoples experiences (I don't read forums so not sure).

Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it. Yes I think I butcher most names 🤦🏼‍♂️ I try my best but I know when I ma saying them I am probably way off.

Hey mate, glad you enjoyed it. link to location on google maps www.google.com/maps/place/Hinnomunjie+Bridge+Camping+Area/@-36.9464157,147.6088626,16z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x6b2458d0657bf42f:0xba7842ebdbc711cb!8m2!3d-36.9458712!4d147.6077627!16s%2Fg%2F11cpq5y2fz?entry=ttu

@@freewayproject thanks so much

I'll have to check Freeze Out layers out I gather it is like a thermal base layers?

@@freewayproject Little bit like Thermal, but in my opinion better.

Cool thanks, I'll check it out.

No mate, still the same one, I have had it since 2016, still doing the job.

send an answer to the other comment.

Hi Grahame, I tried Hema maps but the user interface was a night mare to use. So in the end up just using google maps to get a round bearing then wing it, friends have said I have a built in GPS so haven't had any real issue yet but I might try gaia gps for the next time, so yer still looking for a solution.

@@freewayproject I'm heading to Cameron's Corner next month using as many back roads as possible and decided myself to use google offline maps ......then wing it as well. Cheers Joe keep the vlogs coming buddy

you can get google offline? okay I better look into that, haha I had no idea. Thanks. oh how are the roads to Cameron's Corner are they really sanding or just dirt roads? I was going to head to WA but go through the Flinders Rangers I though about heading to Cameron's Corner first (I don't know much about there area) but from what I have seen it seem to be pretty sandy?

Episode 2 I was on the bike for 16 hours and pushed through sand for about 10 of them, that totally screwed me. I stand up a lot as the bike is in a similar position as my dirt bike. Bigger foot pegs help standing. I can stand at 100kmph hour on the Himalayan which is a bounce. Having a strong core and being flexible really help, as you're not in a stressed position to start with. I was a professional athlete in a former life which I find now is helping me later in life so not sure if that has something to do with it. but also I explore stop take a photo it may only be 3 or 4mins but it gives that little break, don't get in the head space of needing to get somewhere by a time, think more as if you want to see more stop explore more. I've done it where you think I can get there by a certain time you push to do it, but then you don't explore more so you don't get off the bike as much, even for a few minutes.

@@freewayproject yes, very true. I get too caught up in getting there, and not stopping to enjoy. Although, I also can spend so much time looking for a place to stop that I miss enjoying surroundings

i.e. I get a bit tied up finding the PERFECT spot, which somehow lessens the experience. I think I need to learn to chill i.e. no MUST GET THERE, and no MUST FIND THIS PLACE. I used to have a Vstom and could do long hours, and though I love the Himi, I find it harder to ride all day. Anyway, its an inspiration watching your journeys, so, thank you, good riding, and hope you have much joy in your travels!!

haha yes I have had that issue too.

Well then maybe the Himalayan can help, if you can't ride as far plan for less milage per day on the bike. Again I am in the same situation as you and on the next trip are going to work on planning shorter days on the bike to slow down and take more in.

Thanks you as always Larry.

Thank you Catalina, I am very grateful. It will go towards the next trip and hopefully get me down a new path to explore, thanks again.

It would be amazing to explore Romanian on a bike, I have heard there are good trails in the forest.

@@freewayproject Yup, it's one of the last places in Europe where you can go pretty much anywhere offroad (at least before it gets banned here too), and we do have a lot of gorgeous routes through the mountains, both paved and unpaved. There's also a pretty big and helpful offroad community, should you need any help or recommendations.
