Absolutely stoked for this part of your journey mate. Looking forward to your Russian adventure. Stay safe and have fun, cheers.

G'day mate, from the Netherlands. I'v been on a lot of tracks in Australia and recommend everybody to experience the stunning outback, on a save en responseble way. Good to see you are well and save after all. But am I right that you needed to be rescued TWICE !? As shown in a other vid on the same track? What a adventure, it may give you some more views youtube. But please put a big warning on your channel: 'this was stupid I'v made twice a big miscalculation and it went totaly wrong; I'm not proud!' A big P on the bike and with no capability to repair te bike on site by yourself, solo going onto these tracks is not to be shown as normal on youtube. I recon good decisions a much better then a device with a rescue button. No wonder you (had to?) leave australia! That may has been the best decicion.

Hey buddy, suggets next trip should be to New Zealand in the spring or Summer -small, compact country with wide range of roads scenery and people. Very friendly and safe. As a Kiwi, Im surprised by what happened to you. Im pretty sure it was a one-off, as Aussies are pretty straight up people

Everyone, do your bit and spread thos video. Drag Aaron's name through the fucking dirt. Scumbag prick that he is

This is most negative content I have seen in a while. I don’t know about 🇳🇴 border, but I am happy you can’t do it in 🇫🇮 👍

God damn alcoholic, slurring his speech after the first 2 mins of the video. You were in danger feom the mkment you got in a car with that dog.

Alcohol turns ppl into monsters, I appreciate you sharing this story. Come to Canada ! 🇨🇦

I wouldn't go into Russia these days if my life depended on it (and it just might). Tour decision to include Russia is just asking for trouble. After your Aussie Outback debacle, I thought you might be able to exercise more foresight.

This just popped up in my feed, sorry this happened to you mate, scary story and glad you survived! Terrible advice from the police too. Good luck in the future, Groetjes vanuit Australië. 🇳🇱🧡

Hey I hope you balanced those tyres for those autobahn speed? Missing the old jacket already. I will never get rid of my leather gear but the new stuff is good. Thanks for posting a another great vid. Looking forward to the rest of the adventure.

Watching your adventures from New Zealand.. so looking forward to experiencing this trip with you.. stay safe and enjoy ✨

Yoo Luke, toffe video en een nog toffer avontuur voor de boeg! Vraagje, zou je een keertje willen delen wat jouw video settings zijn van je Gopro? Ziet er altijd precies goed uit, goeie reis!

Much Enjoyment 👍😎

Super exciting to see your new adventure begin, congratulations. The new gear looks absolutely awesome, not to say the least. Happy Travels always. Looking forward to seeing the next stage of your trip.🌿⛺🍝🎊

🇺🇦

I always enjoy your trips. Its just you and me and twenty two thousand other friends on an adventure. A safe trip and a quiet night to you...

Hello from Norway. I think it is a very immature assessment to go to Russia as a motorbike tourist now. Actually quite provocative. I advice you to change your plans. If it gets you into trouble during your trip or afterwards, blame yourself. Have you even checked if the norwegian-russian border is open? Have otherwise a nice trip trough the nordic countries - and the Baltics. But don't go to Russia.

Looking forward to this tour bud, Ride Safe and have A ton of fun 👍

That's wonderful news about the new gear. Just a suggestion maybe a decent tent before you hit Russia. Good luck. I will be watching everything you put out.

Just be careful that you don't camp where you not suppose to camp, just like in France 😂

Good to see you getting a proper setup. Proper clothing and the rack less system will make riding a lot more enjoyable and easier. Also returning from Australia and having a go on the TET in the Balkans and setting up the bike for a trip to Morocco Mauritania for next year. Very interested in this trip especially Russia 🇷🇺

Dude.... with all the shit going on in Russia atm due to their invasion of Ukraine, why the hell would anyone want to go there?

Ga jij dit avontuur laten slagen? Zet m op!

Bike will feel so much better now mate 👌

It's a wakeup call heck downtown Chicago that will happen .

You said, “There has been a series of NUCLEAR TESTS there. That’s another COOL thing about this highway” There is nothing cool about detonating nuclear weapons. If you could read the book “MARALINGA” A chilling expose of Our nuclear shame and the betrayal of our troops and country written by Frank Walker. Your from Norway. I find it hard to believe you could think nuclear tests are cool. You might want to sit down with an older generation in your country and discuss their thoughts on the 3000 times bigger than Hiroshima Soviet Tzar bomb, nuclear fall out and radio active waste. I don’t condone or know what Alexe’s motives were. If you read the book you might understand why more than one nation of people might be very angry with you.

Typical Perth drunk.glad you made it out ok

Presuming you got the Rekless 80? I’ve got the 40. Great system.

Then is WAS you i saw talking to Kenneth in his video. Maybe you already know his Vlog. "Ride the bean".

Looks good mate on minute 3:18 it looks like your chain is a bit loose. I would check if it is according specifications. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy the new gear bud and ride safe 👍👍

Looking good.

The panniers are looking great mate and the rackless system will definitely be a great upgrade. Can't wait for Norway and Russia trip. Cheers.

Can't wait for Russia

Looks great 👍

More subscribers more money from KZfaq. I think that how it works Luke. Safe travels.

Aaahh typical drunken Aussie !!

Congratulations on the new gear. Super exciting. Happy travels always. 🎊🌿⛺🏍️🌳🎊

Hey! I am so glad you got those soft bags! I remember telling you about them as an alternative and you saying that they were expensive though, you would have to think about it. I'm very glad that you made the switch 🎉 now did you get new rain gear for yourself?

Looks good! Is there sufficient protection for the soft luggage from the exhaust pipes? Seen a few videos of soft luggage bags getting holes burnt through them and riders losing their gear as they go along.

Mate, looks a good fit , but i would definitely be re-installing your chain guard, you don't need any of your straps hanging down touching the chain.😎 Thanks for posting🦘au

How do you manage to travel so much and not work…? You have a trust fund or something? Curious to your secret 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks for the tour mate 👍

I’m sorry to hear of your unpleasant experience and assault by an Aussie … but not surprised, I’ve known 100s of "nice" blokes throughout my life … and seen them change into nasty cruel aggressive and violent towards others, even against their suppose-to-be mates, friends, family members, triggered and turned, when under stress and drinking excessively … alcoholism and violence, all too common, sad but try … you happen to have met one … I meet and work with many through my profession … and since 14yo of age when I started working, mostly in rural jobs amongst men usually several years older, I’ve learnt had to recognise these behaviours and traits 1st hand … yobboe, great fun guys, until they’re not … anyway take care, be well, and learn from your unfortunate experience… we’re not all like that bloke, but they do exist, more so in some parts of Australia than others 😉 … as an aside, when you get back on your travels … Romania and the Eastern European would be interesting, I have a really good friend in Cluj-Napoca, if you ever get that way 😉, and as for Sth America, Columbia, I have another in Bogota 😉👍🏼 cheers pal …

So sorry. About that situation you found yourself in please don't judge the greater part of Austalians on this one incident hopefully you fresh come back again.

Truly land of the free Where you cant even camp anywhere you want

In the time you have before heading off again, take some self defence lessons and hit the gym. There are a lot of crazy fuckers out there. Good luck from Australia.

Similar thing happened to me when I broke out a bad news to a former colleague in relation to his upcoming redundancy at work. The next day he rang me and whilst he was drunk he insulted and threatened me for almost an hour. I later realised that he’s suffering from some mental disorder. You probably faced a similar person. Don’t be disappointed, obviously not everyone is the same.

Appreciate the beep where you first see the French speaking guy. Family viewing.

Another great vid mate watched on the big tv with my wife yesterday. Did notice the music was a little loud at the very beginning, was hard to hear your voice. Amazing scenery and waffle!
