- I loaded up the Honda Grom with camping gear and spent a night motorcycle-camping in the mountains of the Hunter Valley. The video features some local wildlife, drone footage of Congewai, and a section on what I pack for such a trip.

The Grom is actually has great small adventure bike potential with the gas mileage. If you had an extra gallon gas tank on the back, it would do wonders.
The soft music during the drone flight from the hilltop was the highlight of my day. Seriously. Thanks for that.
That track would be "Flickering" by VYEN, which I found in the TH-cam Audio Library.
I’m from the U.K. but was working in the Hunter 2 years ago, lovely place, shame I didn’t have time to enjoy that much.
First Grom I got to sit on was the Honda dealer in Newcastle!!
Good on you mate, hope you had a good time.
Great video. Can't wait till we've finished setting up our Groms so we can get out in the bush too!
love it!
Relax an fresh brother I like your video 👍
Wow! This is really inspiring. I love the idea of such a simple, small bike out there instead of the heavy bike I've taken camping. Looks like a wonderful, relaxing time.
It's nice to be able to pick the bike up without help if you tip it over. And it helps to have some lightweight hiking/camping gear too.
Steve, I gotta say, brilliant!!!! Such awesome landscapes & mighty fine editing too, love your work buddy
Thanks Kevin. It's a gorgeous place. Been there dozens of times.
Super rad man! Grom offroad.
Go team Grom!
Brilliant. Great inspiration. Cheers from NZ.
Well done, good for you.
throw some maxxis 6024 tires on it, turns into a beast off road. nice video
That's the plan. Still in research phase at the moment, lots of Grom riders have recommended Pirelli SL60's. The stock suspension feels a bit ordinary too.
That snake is beautiful! Go team Grom 🤙🏽
Wonderful
Great Video, this is my dream I got 125cc lex moto atm but I do want a grom, exactly same plans as i want to do!
Doooo iiiit! And post the video link here :P
Nice man.love it
Thanks Majlee!
Im in Cape Town at the Moment and i would love to ride my Grom in this beautiful place 🤜🤛
A Grom is an awesome mini bike I have done 1125kms on 17 litres 95 octane fuel at an average speed of 80km an hour.Really great bike except for the seat.I am from South Africa.
Yes the seat is quite noticeable after even 20 minutes.
great video. made my day, thinking about buying a honda grom, the problem is, I think its to small. anyway wonderfull video
savage cool idea
Goes to show you don't need to spend a fortune on a large Adventure bike. Well done. Great camera work.
Thanks Bruce!
Thats sick man, exactly what I want to do, I prefer a hennessy hammock jungle though, with integrated pad to avoid 'coldbutt'. I wonder how much power the Grom alternator outputs/how fast it can charge a usb power delivery 45w device? Would be awesome to have it function as a generator as well.
I just slip a sleeping pad into my hammock and it serves the purpose. I show off my sleep system in a little more detail in my video "Snow at the Barrington Tops (Hiking/Hammock-Camping the Corker Trail) August 2019" if you're interested in having a look. I can't comment the Grom's abilities as a generator though, I find a 10,000mah powerbank is enough to get me through a weekend.
Great footage. You are an inspiration. Im working my way up to do what you do. Are you ever nervous about going it alone? PS bring your first aid kit next time.
Thank you.
Trips like this I enjoy doing alone, I prefer the peace and quiet. I'm not much of a mechanic though, so if the bike were to refuse to start then I'd have to phone a friend. I always breathe a sigh of relief when the bike/car starts successfully when I'm about to leave.
What brand of panier bags and duffel bags are you using? Great video.
The pannier bags are by 'Ogio', I bought them used and knocked around on the cheap, but have seen them in shops for about $200AUD. The duffel bag in the video was just a cheap Black Wolf from a camping shop, since then I've upgraded to a 'First Gear' waterproof one with tie down attachment points.
Thank you sir.
Great video!!! I gotta ask tho, did u wonder about the snake crawling up on you all night?
The snake was so humiliated by the Grom's sheer awesomeness, it took to the hills and was never seen again.
@@WildStuff hahaha absolutely!! I watched your first crash video! I have a pink Grom and just got my Ls on Friday. I feel your bravery, courage and pain brother!
@@ThankyouJesus4444 I made that crash video before I got the x-rays back from the hospital. Turned out to be a few broken ribs - and I had my provisional riders test booked in for the next weekend. Ended up passing the test while doped up on painkillers & anti-inflammatories.
So how did you even get your grom up to 80 with gear on it? Mine tops out at like 65 going down hill with only me on it and I’m only a 120 pounds 😂
I'm guessing that you're thinking of miles per hour. Being in Australia, my speedo displays kilometres per hour.
Wild Stuff Media oh I did not think of that 😂 awesome video my friend!
I thought he said “ and a pair of thongs “ 😂
I sure did! ;)
Thongs have more than one meaning here in Aussieland.
Wild Stuff Media well I have learned something new today 😂
Curious, what was your top speed with all that gear?
Never really did a top-speed with the gear to find out, though I had no problems doing 80km/h on the way out to this location. I think I was briefly around the 100km/h mark on another camping trip on a gentle downhill with the wind at my back, though cruising at 85-90 was more realistic.
What model saddle bags are those
The pannier bags are by 'Ogio', I bought them used and knocked around on the cheap, but have seen them in shops for about $200AUD. The duffel bag in the video was just a cheap Black Wolf from a camping shop, since then I've upgraded to a 'First Gear' waterproof one with tie down attachment points.
Where did you install the luggage rack? Thank you
It's the Honda branded rack specifically for the Grom, my local Honda dealer ordered and installed it for me.
Okay then...miss the Grom or not?
I sold the Grom to a friend so I still get an occasional quick ride on it for old time's sake, but I find it very uncomfortable compared to my newer bikes, and am usually keen to give it back after just 5 or 10 minutes.
@@WildStuff Yeah, good fun for sure but not for long rides. Thanks so much for replying! :-) Safe travels!
What pannier bags are those?
They say "Ogio" on the side. They have 2 large velcro straps that just sit over top of the seat, and an extra strap/clip that goes under the rear fender, so it's easy to lift them on and off easily. They expand and have built in rain covers too. I bought them used from a friend when I got my Grom.
@@WildStuff any links for the bags?
@@chesternafa I bought mine used from a friend and they are quite old and beaten up, but these ones here look like the current version:
