hahhah f*ck that flat at the first 2mins of riding. btw, I'd love to see a detailed video of how you succesfully replace the tube on the trail mate. I always find it extremely difficult due to the rim lock and stuff...it'll be quite helpful to see all tools you use as well. thanks for the vids mate, bloody awesome content.
A Beath of fresh air!! Thanks for making the effort to share your adventures. Moving to Aus from SA in two weeks!! Look forward to exploring your awsome country on me scoot!! Subscribed!!👊🏻👊🏻
Great content, really enjoyable videos. I had a 1985 DR600 and a XR600R Honda up until a few weeks ago but sold them to get my old Ducati restored. Now my only bush basher is the R1200GS. I think I'm going to buy a DR650 in the next few weeks, the GS is great on the open roads and tame tracks but I am struggling with the weight of the GS on the more challenging tracks. Thanks for the inspiration to get back on the dirt!
That's awesome to hear, glad the vids could be of some inspiration! The DR650 is so easy to live with and incredibly capable in a wide variety of situations. Cheers :)
@@SKIDSnSTUFF I am really looking forward to getting one. It will be great to have electric start, that was a bit of a downside for me with the DR and XR 600's. I wish I had found your channel sooner! I'm binge watching your videos now!
Thanks for that Ben! Now I know what I missed out on and am spewing it’s back on the bucket list! 🤦🏻♀️😂 Great ride & you’re a funny fark! 🤣 How’s your foot?
Cool video how's the foot worked up in western Australia 20 years ago hope to get back and ride the out back justs put a rim lock on my dr650 two Cheers from new Zealand 🇳🇿😀
Tire pressure? I run 24 psi front and rear. I believe a slow leak had reduced psi in the rear tyre overnight leading to the tyre spinning and flat tyre in this video
Desert 90/100 front and Rallz rear is working a treat. I haven't seen the Rallz in other sizes but this 130/80-17 has great spacing/pattern for an all rounder. RallZ review coming soon. You can check our Desert review here th-cam.com/video/BsZuALUZh2Y/w-d-xo.html Cheers
You're a funny guy, not enough credit for your puns in these videos. Nice rig, bikes not too bad either
I appreciate that!

wot!!! no rim lock... taking chances and doing stuff the hard way, yep skids n stuff, got it haha
Always gotta do it the hard way and I don't learn either haha
That looks like lots of fun. I'd love to go to Australia with my DR and do that ride.
Being that this is only 10% and the rest gets wilder by all reports! Enjoy ya tracks, there's always some new nook to explore :)
Thanks for that Ben! Now I know what I missed out on and am spewing it’s back on the bucket list! 🤦🏻♀️😂 Great ride & you’re a funny fark! 🤣 How’s your foot?
Cheers Roz. Resting the foot in a moon boot but it better hurry up n get sorted cos got a ride coming up next week!
@@SKIDSnSTUFF OMG ouch! 😲🤦🏻♀️😂 Fark you ant hills! 🖕😂 Good luck & carry on!🤞😂🍀
How’d your ankle/foot do in the post-ride examination...?
Love your understated style ...
Just getting about in a moon boot for a bit resting it up, cheers
I wonder if, for wheel balance, it would be better to put a rim lock on the opposite side aa well? Or, how do you get the wheels balanced?
I don't really bother with wheel balancing but yeh put the rimlock opposite the valve, makes for easier tyre changes also
Hi Ben!
How much fuel you use?
Thanks!
Oof. Something like 5.5 -6.5 litres per 100kms.
Might have to go blast it again mid June ay!
Cool video how's the foot worked up in western Australia 20 years ago hope to get back and ride the out back justs put a rim lock on my dr650 two
Cheers from new Zealand 🇳🇿😀
Foot is still tender but shouldn't be long now, still been able to ride carefully. Thanks for stopping by :)
Bloody kiwi's ay haha
What is under pressure,Front and back.
Tire pressure? I run 24 psi front and rear. I believe a slow leak had reduced psi in the rear tyre overnight leading to the tyre spinning and flat tyre in this video
You should always ensure that the riders behind you know that the gate was closed ,not just assume that they will close it.
Yeh they knew they came through the day before
How is that HT RallZ combo? I'd like it on my 701
Desert 90/100 front and Rallz rear is working a treat. I haven't seen the Rallz in other sizes but this 130/80-17 has great spacing/pattern for an all rounder. RallZ review coming soon.

@@SKIDSnSTUFF yeah I've already watched that, was wondering if the rallZ rear is better, waiting for the review!
I definitely like the Rallz over the Desert rear, by far.
Is it a race
No just an excuse for a rider meet up and riding something different
