Do it just about every year with a group, love it. Never had a problem with the bike and we’ve had some rough trips. Seeing this vlog has got me excited for our Feb trip next year. Thanks 👍
I’ve done it and it’s very smooth. Just be prepared to get down to your bike at the end of the trip to undo the tie downs in plenty of time to disembark
Im heading across from Tas again soon.
I appreciate that the crew tie down a lot of bikes and most are good, but it only takes one to bugger it up for all. I had an issue last trip where they squeezed the front brake on so tight it locked in place.
Not a good start to a trip. Complaint went nowhere, I now have some handgrip locks for our bikes Key operated so will be putting them on in future.
Luckily thats my only issue to date but have had others i know with bent bars etc....
Awesome stuff - coming over from WA in September so it was great to see the process. Apart from the waiting game to get onboard it all seems to run smoothly.
@CraigZilko The staff were excellent. And don’t feel like you’re being rushed as there’s plenty of time. Thanks for watching.
Great stuff and some great info.... cheers.
Good work mate! Loved it!
Ay thats so sick you guys took the spirit! Im from tassie so that is epic to see some new explorers here lol!
Hello Martin; Thanks for sharing the experience of travelling on the boat to Tas...all good information. Safe Travels. David.....Adelaide...Triumph Scrambler 1200X.....
Many thanks!
2:10 had to smile where the guy is asking about firearms and fruit in the same category but I remembered this is Australia. I had to throw an apple out of my bag getting off at Hobart airport once.
Yeah it's crazy.
nice video an yes it has changed from when I was on it back in early 2018 on my cb500x rally raid but now have the transalp in white
Nice 👍
Nice one Marty. I've only taken a car across before (as per my Whiparound 3 The Apple Isle video) and wondered about the safety of bikes. I didn't notice you mentioning the cost of transporting a bike across, unless I wasn't paying attention. Was it expensive?
Motorbike, $90 AUD each way.
A word of warning in tie downs with the Aprilia Tuareg 660. The handlebars must not be used to tie the bike down. It will ruin the VERY expensive "Fly by wire" throttle unit. It was never designed to be used as a lashing anchor. It also puts a bending force into the front wheel. Hundreds of owners have had to replace their front wheels for many other reasons but this is an avoidable one.
Thanks, that's good info to know.
Good vid and info 👍
A$400 RETURN😢
Yep, way out of my price range too :( . I can go a long way on $400 worth of fuel in the bike.
