    Wow very lucky on the causeway, 9 out of 10 times your eating concrete in a situation like that. Wind turbines are a blight on the landscape. They’re are only there to power a suburb of a city and are set up in the country where the locals don’t want them. Plus the fossil fuels to build them out weights the power they make and thier shelf life is less then a Tesla. Great video man can’t wait for part 2

      @@RealHooksy He's correct.
      I've been riding for over forty years and seen a lot of changes. If you young people keep falling for this renuable energy crap you won't be riding in 20 years and then you'll be whining about it. You need to start waking up to the fact that they're trying to stop you riding/driving by converting to cost prohibitive electric vehicles that won't go the distance and pricing fuel out of the market.
      They can never have enough turbine/solar to power homes and allow you a past time like riding your electric bike as well. Not that you'll be allowed to travel to many cool places because they're locking everything up at a rapid pace and now that National Parks is controlling State Parks you can expect them to be mostly gated as well in the near future.
      Enjoy your riding because you won't be doing it in 20 years ... if you're lucky.... so get off your arse and start saying no to their "greenie" shit. Unless you're a closet greenie??.

    they've been having the same issues with new causeways in nsw too. somewhere along the line they forgot the concrete should have exposed aggregate or grooves for grip.
    another tip is stay in the car tracks where growth is less than the middle or edges.

    • @stevestowell-virtue3781

      I've found the moss grows thicker in direct sunlight. So crossings without shade are the most slippery.

    Those concrete causeways are a serious danger for motorcyclist and councils either have to stop installing them or find a way to stop them getting so slippery. (a rougher aggregate surface finish would help). Even using steady throttle control and low speed it is often impossible to get a bigger adventure bikes across them.

    • @_JoshJB_
      @_JoshJB_  8 หลายเดือนก่อน
