@@scotthuxtable5121 thanks for watching We did actually also test ride the KTM 1290r and the Harley Pan America both really great bikes but at complete opposite ends of the scale the KTM is super off-road oriented just like the 1090 was and we really wanted something more comfortable for adventure touring where the Harley is more on road and not as off road capable as the BMW in our opinion For what we are looking to do we think the BMW has the best road touring along with great off-road also. I think if we weren’t TwoUp then I would have stuck with the KTM 1290 as it is an amazing bike that for sure. We really are spoilt for choice these days with so many bikes on the market. Cheers

Thanks for watching. 🤙

@@totaratree99 thanks for watching. We had great fun doing this definitely tested a few skills but well worth it.

@@stoneybd the Haka pass was a great ride really enjoyed it and will definitely try do it again on upcoming trips.

@@davidellis9358 thanks for watching. Yes very happy to get probably the most challenging track we have done to date but was so worth it. Life has still been a little slow here not much bike riding while I still recover from being unwell. The flip side is I’ve had time to get these videos done for the channel and start planning some local trips so we are looking forward to getting back out on the trails again soon. 🤙

@@johnworth3184 Thanks we had pretty good conditions. It’s a great track so glad we got to tick it off the list.

@@stoneybd we are using Continental TKC 80 on the front which I think is a great tyre amazing off-road and still very predictable on road with not to much road noise, the rear is Motoz Tractionator adventure this my go to rear tyre I consistently get 10k km out of these and again a great off-road tyre some say they are terrible on wet sealed roads but I never push the limits in the wet so have never had any problems with it. They do become a little noisy as they wear. Tyres are a hard thing to get right as there is always a compromise for us we would rather have better off road use and just ride a little slower and not push the limits on road. Hope this helps thanks again for watching. 😁

@@Crust2013 great bikes for sure. We have moved on our 1090 here in Australia for a new BMW r1250gsa which I must say is extremely comfortable and I’ve been very surprised just how capable the bike is. We are certainly keeping the 1090 in NZ as we haven’t even been into the North Island yet. Thanks for watching 🤙

I can imagine the fun had taking the escort up and over the hill while enjoying the views. 🤙

@KiwiPokerPlayer Thanks for sharing how you over come not being allowed a motorbike during your younger years Better late than never I’m sure you will make up for lost time and as you well know Central Otago is an amazing place to explore. Bike is a 2017 KTM 1090 Adventure. Thanks for watching. 👌

It really is a fantastic ride only made better by having great weather.

Thanks for watching. I’ve never really been one for loud pipes and this was on the bike when we brought it, I must say I do quite like it though. It’s an akropovich pipe but I think it’s off a 450 or 500 as its different to the one made for the 1090.

This one is a must do ride. On a nice day the views are stunning.

Thanks for watching our travels much appreciated. For intercoms we run the Sena 30K which we find to be great. For sound capture on the video we use the DJI wireless mic system which is fantastic as it allows both sides of the conversation to be recorded to the video and makes editing much easier. As for tyres we run the Motoz Tractionator adventure on the rear and Continental TKC80 on the front. Safe riding. 🤙

Thanks for the tip on the gated road will make note of that for future trips.

Happy to help. Audio is a moto vloggers worst nightmare.

@@reganrides Tell me about it.

We are using the DJI wireless mic checkout this video. th-cam.com/video/5WRNgmDmp2I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HE_gqo_RXOw96di3

@@reganrides wonderful. Thanks.

Thanks. Definitely have a supply of those tablets ready to go.

Thanks David. You are spot on the comfort is amazing and we just had our first run out in the dirt and I must say I was impressed with it. 😁 looking forward to exploring on this one.

Thanks for watching much appreciated. On the KTM have been running the Motoz Tractionator adventure for the rear and the front was also a Motoz dual venture. Not super impressed with the front I would much rather the TKC80 or Pirelli scorpion Rallye. Not sure now with new bike which path we will take.

Thanks Rob. Passed you guys yesterday as we were heading towards boyup Brook hope you all had a great ride.

Thanks for the route. Really enjoyed this one. 👌

@reganrides hopefully in June I can get out on my own for more exploring solo while my girl goes home. Just gotta watch it being a tad slippery then

Thanks mate. 😁

Thx, email sent. Was just looking last night for any info about the route the old railway route went and looking on Gaia some people have had the same idea south of Pemberton but look to have maybe hit dead ends and turned around.

Great to hear. Such a nice place to ride around I really enjoyed Lake Kaniere and look forward to heading back that way in future trips. The map is a great way to keep track of where you have been. 👍

Yes all the sound is captured on the DJI mic and is recorded direct to the GoPro footage.

So good I own two of them in different countries 😁😁

Hey @Dannyboy974 we have managed to get a few nights on the new pads after initially having to much air in them the first night where we rolled around on top of them we reduced the air and had a very comfortable sleep the next night. Big thing we like is they are not noisy like our old Sea 2 summit pads and being able to button them together means they don’t slide around underneath you. All in all a great product the biggest down side is the foot pump and we have recently brought a flex tail tiny pump to blow them up as the built in pump is painfully slow. Should be able to give to a good review after we return from our next NZ trip which starts at the end of the week. Yes we are taking our camp gear this trip. Thanks for watching it’s much appreciated. 👍

Hey, Thanks for subscribing and downloading my gpx file its greatly appreciated. The Labour Day Weekend Route is about 80% offroad and 20% on-road. Nothing super difficult but that does depend on your abilty of course. We did the whole weekend twoup without to much trouble just one miss hap getting out of the camp spot. Let me know if you get down ther and ride this i would love to hear your thoughts on the route. Thanks again.👍

Glad to have another set of hands to help pickup.

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out happy to help out others.

Hi. Comms question. You're obviously talking to each other, what comms unit do you use? Is what you hear in your helmet as clear as the vids? Cheers

@@stoneybd we are using Sena 30K units which we find are great they work on the mesh network which connects and has great sound. As to how well you can hear the other person really comes down to your helmet and speaker placement. We love the Sena as it lets us chat about what’s happening as we ride along or if you’d not in the mood you can each listen to your own music or simply just turn it off it’s your choice. I think using intercom units in a group ride scenario is a great safety device also. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks so much for watching and happy to help out by way of sharing the routes we used. Content will be more southwest of Western Australia for a little bit as that’s where we live but NZ series 3 is in the planning stages along with lots of other trips.

Thanks for watching. -9.5 is definitely getting chilly. 🥶

Thanks for hanging out with us on Season 2 will be just one more episode after this one. Its been great putting them together and nice to see our view numbers and subscribers increase throughout this season.

Thanks for checking the channel out. Plenty of water crossings all throughout NZ so you tend to get good at them after a while. It can be a little challenging at times, we do try not to get ourselves into situations we cant handle but sometimes we get caught.

Just a couple of tricky little spots..Fantastic ride though and will be doing it again sometime im sure..

Great video of the Nevis!

It really is a great road and has left us with some great memories now too. Thanks for watching much appreciated.

Its one place everyone should have on there bucket list..

Thanks for watching got a few more episodes to finish out this season so stay tuned in..

Thanks. It’s motorcycle heaven over there. Planning our next trip back again at the the moment. Thanks for checking my channel out. 🤙
