Thanks, appreciate the feedback.

Yeah, It's a magic road. Should be on everyone's to-do list.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes they are. One of the reasons why I haven't published any videos for a while is because of the issues I was having with GoPro cameras. In short, they are junk. I'm now using DJI Osmo Action 4 cameras. They are brilliant! Super reliable, don't overheat and seize up, great images. You can see the two remote controllers on a strap that's wrapped around the brake reservoir. They work really well. Brad

@@RidesRoadsPeoplePlaces Thanks so much for the info, I'll look into them

Thanks, Always welcome feedback from my subscribers. What's your opinion, which is best, the the moving map or a static map of the route. Do I spend more time talking through the route at the start? Take care .

Simo, yeah I enjoy that ride as well. Yes, Sutton Bakery is good.....but too close for me..... I need to do lots of km before my coffee !!

Thanks David, well worth the time to ride that region. I use Scenic as my nav app on iPhone. The thing I like about it is the ability to determine exact routes I want to ride on Google Maps, then use the URL of that to paste into the Scenic Web App and export to the iPhone. Of course, I have a backup navigator when it rains. Garmin Zumo 595.

Thanks mate! Yes, it's been a while. I'm in a better place to continue with them now. "Chillin" it was. But still loved getting away. Yes, when I rode past the Blue Duck, I wasn't sure it was open. I'll have to check it out next time!

Thanks for that. Yes, it's been a while. I'll get back to doing more rides and videos. Thanks for your patients.

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes, have not done a video in ages, for various reasons. I'll start to do more again. Agree on the Omeo Hwy. What a great road! February will be good. My toes and hands were burning and throbbing they were that cold.

Hi, the roads were in great condition. Yes, it's the driest I've seen that area. I'm planning to do a Spring ride down there in either early October or early November. Still have a number of roads to explore.

Looking to explore this area in december, thanx for the vid

Cool, Also try the Jingellic Pub for accommodation. It's right on the Murray river.

Awesome video. The alpine high country roads is some of the best riding in Australia. Appreciate the time you took to put this together.👍

Thanks for the feedback. Agreed, it's an outstanding location for riding. So many good roads. So little traffic too :)

Ron, Thanks for the feedback. A beautiful part of the country!

Hi, It was an eight day road trip. I would have loved at least twelve days (with no rain) to do it properly.

Yes, love it as well. spectacular road and scenery.

Thanks, will do! I have another trip to NZ coming up!

Very True. I'm going to give it another ride in the coming months. I hope I get a better run through it.

David, agreed, the roads in the alpine area of northern Victoria and southern NSW are spectacular. There's so many to explore as well. Take care.

Thanks buddy. Hoping to hit the road again soon and do some more.

Thanks Tony!

Thanks GiLi, going to do it again. In reverse......and fine weather! :)

Hi Richard, glad you enjoyed it. Was a fabulous ride! I bolted one of these to my Givi Dolomiti top box. Used a 90mm RAM arm. Cheers. motogps.com.au/ram-mount-4-hole-amps-plate-adapter/

Cool.

Thanks Simo, Yes, the fuel range can be a bit of an issue on some rides. Takes a bit of planning. A good app that I find helpful is "FuelMapAustralia". I'm about to start up again on some new adventures. Stay tuned!

Thanks

Mark, thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed them. Hoping to get out and do more adventures in 2023.

James, Thanks for the feedback and advice. I'm planning to do the whole trip again......this time going clockwise. I'll check out those roads you recommended. Take care. Brad

Thanks for that. It was such a great ride!

Peter, Yes! very observant. We had just completed a "coffee ride" to Trunkey Creek. Will post a video of it soon. Bugger about your battery. I remember passing the tow truck and checking out the bike for damage. Couldn't see any! Thanks for the feedback. Maybe see you for a ride sometime. Take care. Brad

Ron. Yes, have fitted a SH39 to the Tracer and a SH48 to my Tiger Sport. They are light and reasonably inexpensive. Not as high quality as Givi, but great value for money. Big attraction is the light weight!

Hey Jarod, glad you like the videos. Cool bike the CB1300. Happy rides!

Thanks

Anthony, great to hear from you. There's some great roads around here. I particularly like the ride from Sutton to Oberon via Gunning, Crookwell and Taralga. So much fun!

Hi Marztube, Thanks for the feedback. That's a great suggestion regarding the accommodation. It's great to see that the majority of regional accommodation operators realise the value of catering for the biking community. I might include a list as a credit at the end in future. Take care. Brad

Very relaxing spot!

Hi John. I loved doing that ride. What stood out was the amazing terrain and the effect the river has on it. Was hoping to get a few more rides in before it got too cold. Unfortunately the rain has put paid to those plans! Important to acknowledge the musicians and their work. Thanks for the feedback.

John, that's very kind of you to say those things. I try my best and always looking to do better. Agreed, the NSW/Vic alpine region has to be my favourite touring destination. In fact, I'm going on a solo ride there for four days in a few weeks time. Keep an eye out for the videos of that. Take care.

It was a great adventure. Worth doing. Thanks!

Thanks mate. Lots of good roads on this video. So much fun!

Jeff, You raise a good point. I had to make sure the ride fitted in to eight days to allow the others to take one week's leave. That meant we had to do long days on the bike with early starts and not enough time factored in to get more footage of the surrounds and the towns we stayed at. If I was to do it again, I would allocate at least 10 or more days to do it. That way I would have the time to also do some drone footage. It's a stunning landscape....from start to finish. Well worth taking the time!

Thanks for the feedback. Stunning countryside. Amazing river system that cuts across the country. Next episode out soon. Take care.

Thanks for that. Take care.

Yes Geoff, most were really good. I make sure I always recognise their courtesy with a wave :)

Hi. All 3 GoPro cameras are Hero 7 Black. I also use a remote controller for each camera. Like many other moto vloggers, not completely happy with them. From the GoPro 5 onwards, they all suffer from overheating and just lock up. Just got back from a long trip and missed out on a lot of footage because of this. However, when you look at key requirements like size, mounting options, remote controll etc, there are not many alternatives. Battery life is also an issue.

Thanks for your reply Brad, I'm currently using the silver Hero 4, it hasn't got the stability setting and wondering if its worth updating my model.

If think it is worth it. Their image stabilisation is one good thing they do. Just be aware of the size change in latest models. It might be an issue depending where you mount it.

Hi, the app is called Scenic. It's a motorcycle specific navigation app. The thing I like most about it is that I can create routes easily on Google Maps and simply upload it through the Scenic web interface and import it to my iPhone. Many of the rides I do I want to ride a specific set of roads. Much easier to do that on Scenic than Garmin or Tom Tom. Hope that helps

Tudor, Glad you like the channel. What I do is far from perfect, but I try my best. You will notice on this video that I am using three cameras. All GoPro 7 Black with a controller for each camera. Two controllers mounted on the one velcro strap wrapped around the front break oil reservoir and the third on a shortened velcro strap on the left mirror mount just where it attaches to the handlebar. For me, the controllers are a must. Impractical to be reaching up to turn the chin mounted camera on with gloves. Impossible to turn the two rear cameras without controllers. Are the GoPro remotes foolproof? No. With GoPro, there are systemic issues and shortcomings with their technology. The main ones being software/firmware bugs, connection to microphones, poor battery life, wind noise management and overheating. Just to name a few. I might put together a short video on my camera setup and approach. Take care.

Thank you, that's very helpful.

Thanks, It was an outstanding ride.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Check out my Murray River adventure!

Thanks Wayne. Will have next episode out in about a week. Take care.

Thanks, there are some outstanding rides to the north of the ACT. Including great roads leading to Blayney and Oberon where there is almost nil traffic. Hoping to do a video of those in the next few months.

Thanks Ron, appreciate it. Brad
