Motorcycle Adventure Australia - What are Aussie's riding?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- In this 1,500 kilometre motorcycle adventure we tag along with Greg and Crash of the rideadv.com.au crew, to sample a couple of days of the popular Central West Tour of New South Wales.
Clubby takes his brand new cyan blue Yamaha Tenere 700 and I'm on a 2021 KTM890 Adventure R that I'm testing.
Clubby and I walk around and check out the various adventure set ups and bikes of the 40 riders. It gives a great insight into what Aussie's are riding and what they're doing with their bikes.
Lots of great scenery and a little action and a later laugh, where a hill climb has the rut of doom on the left that catches a couple of riders and Clubby takes his new bike for a little bathe in an extremely shallow mud puddle. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
For those new to MAD TV I'd encourage you to look around the channel, we have international adventures, bike reviews and Chris Birch extreme videos and other stuff and most recently some great films from Nick Sanders. Occasionally we go live for some fun. Here are some links to help you find the good stuff.

Loved it Dave, more this this. Interesting to see how others set their bikes up.
Glad you enjoyed it. I thought people owuld like the different bikes.
Well done Dave! As an American, I truly enjoy seeing the Aussie countryside and the varied terrain. Beautiful country! One suggestion for these types of ride videos would be to add a graphic/map at the beginning showing the general location of the ride for us non-Aussies. Cheers!
Forgive me Robert, I did one in the 890 test and the 1290 test yet to be published. Around the same location mapped in the KTM890 test if your interested in looking at that video.
Liked the Clubby Clip! Great job.
It was like the NASCAR events when the announcers stop jabbering and the track microphones are turned on, and you can actually hear what you came to see! Bike sound, rocks clanking, and wind noise! "Crank it up!", they say. (meaning the tele-volume)
Not saying you should zip it Dave; absolutely love the spirited commentary. Look forward to future Clubby Clips! And more... You guys Rock!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sideshow here.....
I was chatting to you blokes while you were devouring those cutlets at Condobolin. You asked me how I went on the big 1200 GS in the Mud!
Happy to report I achieved my goal for the ride, which was to not drop it.
Day 1 and 4 were the most challenging. These guys really are a professional outfit. The focus on Safety getting everyone through was admirable. At one stage I was at the back after a flat. TB was sweeping. He was very supportive of my goal to not drop it in terrain that bike was not intended to go through. Was patient with me, and pulled me up once for a briefing on techniques and lines to help me achieve my goal for the trip.
As Arnie says "I'll be back".
Excellent. They've always done a brilliant ride.
Thanks Boys
I am unable to ride anymore, great to see many People enjoying themselves.
This is a sport, & keeping everyone fit & not couch potatoes.
Spending money in small towns & meeting other great People
Thanks again & stay safe Cheers
Well said!
Good stuff as usual Dave! I wouldn't be in a big hurry to give Clubby exclusive charge of the camera just yet!
Small steps!
👍
Nice quick video Dave “MAD TV”
Love it. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic episode, love the banter and the on and off bike footage
Thank you. Yes try to balance it.
Brilliant stuff once again! This channel is fantastic, always a ripper watch, well put together and very entertaining. Great riding, fantastic scenery, always a hoot riding with a group and it's great peace of mind knowing you have backup if anything goes pear shaped. All pumped up to get out on the Bush Pig again now. If only I could get paid to ride instead of work...
Good on you. ride safe.
The takeaway for me technics does great suspension, sometimes less is more, and watch where old mates hands have been. Great video review again, love it guys, keep it two wheels down as always.
Thank you
Great video boys. You Aussies are lucky blighters having all those trails to map a route on. I’ll look forward to seeing the next one 👌👍
Thank you.
Always enjoy watching your group rides through beautiful scenery. The banter is entertaining and instructive to see what others are riding. Also encouraging to see other - more aged - riders taking a few risks. Clubby is ready for London to Sydney!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video 📹...nice to see the variety of bikes. And you guys always have some great trails to ride! Obviously I'm biased...but it's the T7 for me every time 😇
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are really lucky to have great rides like that, I love watching you travel on the out back roads and back country you have there.👍👍
Yes we are really lucky and so close to the city.
Loved the review and the ride report Dave and Clubby well done !!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Always got to give clubby 20/10 he is just priceless . Another great vid mate hope you guys are always having fun keep up the outstanding work mate. 🍻🍻🍻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Thanks 👍
I love that retro IT livry on Clubby's T700.
Can’t wait to learn, I wish I was pushed out of my comfort zone when I was younger tbh. when I was around 8 I was too scared to go on a bike alone now at 18 I’m annoyed I didn’t because I’d know how to ride now
Just move on and get on with it.
Love the video as always Dave. Thanks for giving the rest of us in the world an insight into your beautiful country and the other parts of the world that you ride. It’s a bummer that you didn’t have more time to explore the (what looks like) 690 Aurora Explor build just before the rider’s meeting that you had to attend. I have the 701 version of the same kit in the US and love it. I know of at least one fellow in Australia that has an Aurora kitted 701. They’re amazing builds and turn the bike into something the 701LR aspires to be.
PS: Clubby needs to work on his helmet camera angle ;)
Yeah we got called to the meeting would have been useful to get a good look at it.
Really good and quick overview of real world bikes.
Thank you. When I saw them all parked there I thought it was a great opportunity.
Nice one lads, a good mix of bikes and setups to drool over. Clubby's first video, 8/10 (slight tweak to the camera vertical angle and a wee bit of onboard commentary and it'll be a 10/10 , but I'm biased, I mean, he rides a T7, clearly the best bike there ;) ;)
ha ha
Sad it's the end of season here, but glad it's the opposite for you guys and great videos are coming!
Really enjoyed this one, love the blue T7!
Cheers
More to come!
That was a great video Dave. Get yourselves on 7Mate! The recent showing of Adventure Motorcycling can learn alot from you Guys. Your videos represents what Adventure Motorcycling is all about. Whats more, it's so much more interesting to watch. Get yourselves onto Free to Air TV??? Keep up the great watching! 👍😁
Thanks Bob for your encouragement. Yeah I had a look at that show, I felt i was way way off the mark.
That looks an amazing event 👍all the UK riders are like I remember that one time I rode in the dry 😂
ha ha
Always good Dave commentary sound was really good while riding as well. Looked a great ride bet you wish you could do the 5 days.👍
Next time! Although next year I think I'm back in Western Australia at that time. Wellsee if the rides clash.
Top entertainment again.Look forward to your comments on the 890.Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. 890 test out. 1290 possibly this Sunday
Great to see a BMW F800GS in the mix, a bit of an under rated bike comes alive with a suspension upgrade, especially the forks. Very similsr weight to a T700, lower center of gravity. Cheap to buy secondhand.
An excellent bike. We've tested them on this channel.
Always love abit of MAD TV from over in the UK 🤙🤙
Thanks mate.
Dave your new bike has a nice exhaust note to it, not to loud and not to overly obnoxious, it does sound like a Vtwin
Kinda. I've given that bike back.
Good stuff boys🤩
I would love to see you guys testing the Himalayan ...that would be something to watch out for
I think that's going to happen soon, but not sure when.
Hello mate,from Transylvania,Romania,country of Romaniacs!
😊🥂
Hi Kristian
Clubby, gotta angle the camera up a bit, mate! 6/10 for effort 😂 Very nice video, Dave, and a great range of bikes and riders. Looks like a blast!
Thanks 👍 Yeah good to get out in a group.
I bought a 300 rally also because of your video.
Good. Well Clubby and I are having a devil of a time trying to acquire on for the Australian Adventure Bike Magazine garage.
Hi Dave.
I have an idea for a type of video/review that currently does not exist.
Test of fitment of differen luggage systems on different bikes. Say how does a Kriega OS-Base system fit different bikes. And how does Enduristan Blizzard fit different bikes and so on.
I'm thinking also looking into straps flapping and such. Not so much a review of the bagagesystem as a travel companion, but more a fitment wise review of a system on different bikes.
Just a heads up for content that dont exist on youtube :-)
Lot of work in that and so many trips to do and bikes to test.
I got a 390 adventure on your recommendation and I've added a few things to make it more better and freaking love the little guy . It doesn't lak power and I weigh about 250 lbs with gear ...no worries! And best of all it's light compared to my old tiger .
Good to hear! They are a great bike.
Hi Dave, great video! what type of gps are you using to find those cool tracks? Are you ever come in the Northern rivers?
We look at Hema maps
Hi Dave did you ever review the 690 Enduro? Just bought one and love it. Nice step up from a CRF250l. Love your work as alway....
Not yet! I was setting up to test my 690, T7 and 701 for this very reason.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Look forward to it 😀
LOL I swap bikes, on the farm near Dubbo I am riding Yamaha AG200 n it’s mess in black soil with slippery sand tracks in places, yes dirt does set like concrete especially around back end. Farm also runs Suzuki DT200 n Kawasaki 250 stockman better bikes going through wet stuff but break downs are quicker then AG200. Definitely thinking of buying Honda 300👍
The CRF300 Rally is a good thing with a little work on suspension
Great job guys 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Dave what tire do you recommend for a KTM 690 mostly off road with a little tarmac.
Thanks
In fiarness to you, I'm supported by Pirelli. That aside definitely a Pirelli Scorpion Rally and there is a range of tires for the rear. At the end of the day the front is crucial in dirt.
Are you and papa nugget going to go on a trip soon ? I love you two together
Definitely,. He's been on dirtbike whilst I've been testing stuff.
Since you asked -
Film quality seemed a bit down on your usual quality.
Clubby needs to adjust the camera angle up just a little.
Otherwise - good show.
No, its the Premiere mode. If you go back and replay it now, you'll have 4 k option and it will be fine. It's an irritating thing with Premiere.
Great tracks great vid mates👍🤟
Glad you enjoyed it
I must come down from Canada and rent a bike and do some riding with your riders.
David that is surprisingly easy to do.
WR250R represent! 👊🏼
A couple there.
Ok guy's I love these videos and content, keep up the brilliant work. I must ask, what is the average age of the riders on this trip. I am 63 yrs young and have ridden motorcycles since a kid, but over the last 40 yrs only road bikes. I am looking at a Suzuki DR650 with view of doing some of these rides in the very near future. Any recommendations?
rideadv.com.au is one company, Maschine is another, Ellwood Motorcycle Adventures is another. All of these three I would recommend for their professionalism, but most importantly to ensuring that riders with a broad range of skills are catered for.
awesome video, thanks ... I don't see Ducati Multistrada, too expensive to fix or they are not right for the task ?
Not sure but they sure are expensive
Nice job Clubby! 👍
Nice? :)
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Yes, good videos and interesting interviews. I like it!
Great Video. Maybe you can help me gather some information? do you know more details about the equipment of the Tenere Rally? Which GL Tankbag does he use? What Support Frame he has mounted to the rack? Any possibility to make contact? Link to any Forum he Haus posted about his bike?
Giant Loop Fandango Pro tank bag. Rally Raid Products UK pannier racks and exhaust support. Look up Rally Raid Products UK all those parts and a heap more are there. Giant Loop can be purchased all over the world.
You mentioned adventure riding growing rapidly which is plain to see when you hit the trails these days. I'm curious about the future of dirt tails and tracks across NSW and companies like RideAdv. As any NSW resident knows, if ppl are enjoying something, the Govt will close it off or restrict it even if they are public roads. Its a double edged sword... a growing sport but areas to ride dirt are only going to decrease...
I fear that as well. I'm seeing it in a couple of places. Another phenomena is public roads being 'claimed' by residents and resigned to say they are private.
its happening, gardens of stone is next :/
Haha i also bought a crf300l after your video
Well Clubby and I are still trying to get one for a long termer to do up for Australian Adventure Bike Magazine.
Hey guys.... I tend to click around sometimes and miss key things so I'll ask.... I'm curious as to the cost for taking one of these adventures...... thanks mates
Go to rideadv.com.au and look at the range of rides and experiences and see their cost. Excellent value, the tracks are always stunning.
Look at all you old farts. Hope for me yet. 😉 Great vid.
Love live the old farts. Keeping ADV riding alive and spending their kid's inheritance.
yeh - lot to learn with the filming Clubby
I'm no better with stills. They happen too fast!
Clubby needs a bit of work with the camera. Great trip video Dave.
Working on it Thanks :)
Dave I find it amazing the diversity of Australia's land. From open flat grasslands, dessert and forest's.
I hope to visit sometime.
Thanks for sharing and opening up the true beauty of Australia.
Now if only I could understand some of your friends when they talk LOL 🤣😆
We tend to run words together and our slang at times is challenging.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV and you say two'er instead of tour :)
@@PazLeBon yep!
What do people think about the older tenere xt660z? I'm looking at buying one now
There are other fish in the sea that taste nicer. Suzuki DR650, or 400, second hand done up ready for adventure.
"Carnage!" says Andrew Clubb yet again.
I love the way he says that word :)
Another great video Dave,,,But please don't let Clubby video again, FFs
It's like me when I take stills for him. :)
Didn’t clubby already have a T7?? Why a new one?
Clubby is supported by Yamaha. Thye provide him a bike and replace it every now and again. But he swaps over the parts and accessories.
Shouldn’t the question be “are Aussies riding again?…” or do they need a vax card to go outdoors? 😖😉
SORRY 😞 it’s just a joke! Ok 👍🏼
How about an article on “How to escape lockdowns” and “where to ride without restrictions” also “world report” on open areas (damn sounds like something we would do post apocalyptic)
We are certainly riding again. All over the place. With a couple of isolated areas where there are vulnerable communities with low vaccination rates. Around 95% of NSW is vaccinated, one of the highest rates in the world.
I’ve gone and got myself a new 701. now your selling me on the ktms 🤦🏻♂️ wife isn’t going to be happy 😂
I’m very interested in the 701- do you know if they have fixed the clutch slave issue on the 2021 models?
@@JohannesDalenMC they’ve recently done a recall on 701/690s to replace o rings I believe
@@roblange1445 Thanks for the information Rob! Do you know any details? Just replaced them with Magura o rings or did they use any other brand?
@@JohannesDalenMC Oberon and possibly rekluse.... not 100% on last one mate. Utube it👍. I know some guys are buying 701s and replacing slave cylinder straight away so as to remove any risk of stranding
@@roblange1445 Thanks a lot for the help - much appreciated 👊
Saw myself in a few clips. Sorry Clubby, leave the video to Dave! Your stills are great though!
Legend!
Wheres nugget he's the man we all wanna see??
hes back on the next ride.
«Oh fuck» 😂
How come Aussies are not able to make their own bike? I can’t believe there is no one single Aussie bike made on whole continent until 2023 and counting.
Never have.
👌
thank you
Hey Guys I really enjoy the content you make and share . After looking with great interest at what and how guys have set up there rides I’d be interested in “ entry level” ( cost wise ) bike set up . Personally I’ve paid $6500 for a 2012 WR450F and about $4000 on adventurising it , 10 k is what I can afford and realise the limitations but am fascinated with making do with less . Just a thought.
We are testing a couple of entry level bikes in the next few weeks and hopefully we'll get our hands on a Honda CRF300 as well.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV fantastic, super interested in the 300 rally after your initial review/test , I’m short so that’s the shortest bike around 👍
Guess y'all need to go electric as might be only deserts to ride over in a few years :)
Looking forward to the conversion. Bring on technology.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV did you watch the btritish series 'long way down' etc with Ewan Mcgregor? Thet rode a few k miles with electric Harley's. Worth a watch ;)
@@PazLeBon Yes, I heaard of it.
They’re riding whatever their Government tells them they can ride without question.
I’ll set my alarm. ⏰ 😴 🇺🇸
It's not that spectacular. Sleep in and watch later.
starting to think the M stands for middle aged aussie
You're being kind. We're past that!

Its not really a sport its a pastime
Depends how you ride.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Yeah but a sport is a contest , a competition between 2 or more people or teams. Adventure riding no matter how fast you do it is a pastime. A fun pastime and one I have done a lot of over 25 plus years, but its not a sport, and saying it is to me just sounds like trying to give it more gravitas than it really should have. 10 older fat mates going for a ride is great and a healthy pastime that should be encouraged, but at the end of the day its just that , unless you gave out trophies???
