Surviving 700km of the Simpson Desert on our T7 World Raids Ep 3

- Deep sand, extreme temperatures and massive distances set the adventure for Adam and Rodney as they take on the famous Hay track from Jervois Station right through to a remote cattle station in South Australia
The conditions turn treacherous as the mercury spikes to the hottest recorded temperature for winter in the Simpson Desert, right when the boys are taking on the mighty red sand dunes.
This ride is not only a test of their mental strength and endurance, but a testament to the performance and reliability of their fully loaded Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raids. Each carrying 30-litres of extra fuel, the boys soon realise they're not carrying enough water...

Loved the episode.....We are the 2 couples that were happy to share our water - Liam and Jo in the Colorado and Martyn and I (Larissa) in the Landcruiser. So glad to see you made it out safely. We ended up staying on the Hay River Track (loved it). To make you feel better the Colorado aircon was not working properly from the start and our aircon hose blew that same day so we were all feeling the heat also that day. But loved the adventure. Now this has made me decide to get on with the editing of our video too.
Thanks for giving these guys some water! I’m glad to see your response and know all of you folks made it out safely.
Thank you so much for the water and chat, you guys were awesome! I sometimes wonder if the good folk we meet ever find my channel ... so I have to ask, how did you? Is there a dirt bike rider among your friends?
And yes, edit your journey - it's so good to look back in over time!
@@MotologyFilms Liam's mate follow's you and when Liam told him about us sharing water with a couple of bike riders he thought it might be you, shared your youtube video from the episode before with us and we have been waiting to see your next youtube episode to see the Hay River Track episode and HERE WE ARE :-) I have to admit I was a little excited when we showed up on your episode (I am the one manning the water tank trying to get you to take more).......feel famous now LOL
Well there you go. I recently bought a DMax and look forward to taking the kids (and maybe the mrs) on some epic desert adventures like you guys!
This is so awesome to read! It adds so much weight to the story and how sharing something so “little” as some water can save someone’s day. It’s moments like these what makes this channel the best on YT ❤️
Damn….it never gets old to hear the ole “Bob and Marge” commentary
Yeah hits home, some times I'm in the bob and marge camp, others in the lone biker camp.
pls, can you explain an European why you call them Bob and Marge?
@joefigl in Ireland we say John and Mary.... just typical and common names to describe the "average" Aussie or Paddy slightly older couple... not meant as a slight , or as an insult.. like a term of endearment towards your fellow citizens
Better than anything you'll see on TV. Motology Films.
Rodney is a man of few words just getting it done. What an adventure.
All the fuel in the world for your bike won’t get you anywhere without enough water for your body. A good reminder how the Outback of Australia should never be underestimated. Another great video Adam. Safe travels👍
Your narration is right up there with David Attenborough, but with an obviously different style. What a delight. So glad to be a subscriber.
Love the "ABS Off" reminder written on the windshield! :)
Damm fine ride Adam…
You n Rodney seriously shift…
These are hardcore days of riding…
Those twisty two tracks and endless deep sand are incredibly demanding..
I can’t believe you run those Km’s and still document the experience to show with us..
Bloody great job, the share is really appreciated ..
Congratulations to both of you… damm fine riding
Great reel, really shows how the Australian outback should not be underestimated, especially on big heavy bikes. The boys made it look easy but remember they are both fit, strong and very good riders. Proper adventure ✅
Seeing Rodney struggling in the desert make you realize what a challenge you guys are measuring against to. Not to mention one of the best storytelling in this type of content! Proud to support this channel
Thanks for the support mate, every members contribution is appreciated!
You have to pinch yourself ever now and then to remind yourself you're alive when sitting on the sofa with a cuppa watching things like this. Can only guess at the heat and exhaustion. Awesome video ❤ 👏
Your sense of humor is one of a kind. Keep being awesome.
Awesome video! The kindness of strangers never ceases to amaze me. Best!
It's just the Australian way
It's the way of backcountry travelers everywhere, at least those from civilized stock ... 😉 😄
That Bob and Marge analysis was a delight 😅
Its good that you show how tough it is out there to prevent the inexperienced trying to do that ride. Good stuff!
Geez mate that must be a tough section if Rod had trouble! Loving this journey with you both Adam❤
That dirt so heavy in iron hardly makes any dust I noticed. Amazing landscape! Hello from AZ USA!
It's all sand granules basically
@MotologyFilms I've been watching and learning from your sand riding. Making good progress! Thanks Adam!
Amazing, thrilling and bloody scary all at the same time. Rippa mate.
I can appreciate justhow arduous that section of the adventure was. Great video.
Yes every vid you produce is top shelf absolutely awesome thank you 👌
These desert run videos are some of my favorites of all your videos. The feeling of remoteness, danger, and adventure are what I enjoy in my own rides. Just this year I was down to half a liter of piss warm water when I finally rolled into camp on an unexpectedly hot day. Makes one appreciate how good life is to just turn on the tap for cool, clean water and a soft bed.
Sometimes we need to be whittled down to the bare minimum in situations to appreciate how easy every day life is.
That feeling... do I wait just a bit more or should I go ahead and turn around...? Always a great relief when your mate finally shows up and nothing serious is wrong!
Good banta young fella epic journey . Rodney is solid gold just "gets it done".
I’ve been riding various bikes my whole life , but I’m in awe watching both of you and the level of skill you display. Absolutely awesome.👍
Lovin' the bob and Marge jokes.
Been looking forward to this next chapter.
It sure gets hard when the sand is hot.
Looking forward to the next episode
@@joshuasarfati5520 T7’s are no joke in the sand. Even with perfect tyre choice. These guys go hard
Just getting it done 👌🏼the exhaust bark of the Tenere though 💥📣😎
Battle of the Titans! What an Adventure, Adam! It´s always a pleasure to watch your high quality productions. In about 2 weeks I work my way down from Switzerland to the gates of Morocco to spend 2 weeks of riding Tenere 700s with 3 of my mates. Hope we find the same level of riding and joy! ✊🤠
What a masterpiece. That was incredible to watch. It must be so tiring riding through deep sand like that. The scenery is truly spectacular and you and Rodney are both incredible riders. I can't wait for the next episode. By the way I could listen to that Tenere exhaust the whole day. It's gorgeous.
Absolutely remarkable scenery, riding and brotherly bonding. I love it and thank you.
I doubt you’ll read this but you’re one of my earliest inspirations for riding. When I got my first dirtbike 10 years ago I found your videos absolutely incredible. I’d watch some of them on repeat just to see you rip mate. The slow mo stuff, the full speed stuff. You’ve got a real gift for making Moto films and again, have been a tremendous inspiration.
Cheers 🍻🏁
You boys are tough, Huge respect
Superb video 📹 guys, great filming Adam as ever. That terrain looks harsh and unforgiving...but beautiful at the same time. Really shows how brilliant the T7's are, with such great reliability...essential in the desert!! Great stuff, Cheers Steve 💚
Ultimate challenge of man and machine. Remarkable perseverance and talent.
Epic! Thanks Adam
what can we comment? No comments, just the joy of the ride, the view, the nature and the challenge...
The joy is of whom does it!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
The sand starts to get tougher later in the season by the looks on top of wrestling with the the temps. Bloody good effort.
Amazing episode. It’s unbelievable how you cover such large distances through sand. Very inspiring!
You both are legends!!!! My god you guys ride at an intense pace! I always get nervous pushing it that hard in unknown territory. 🙇🏻♂️
It's gunna be funny when you call someone Bob and his name is Bob. Getting that water made your day.
Another Masterpiece!
Adam, we need Bob and Marj Tee Shirts !! I'd love to be walking around here in Japan with a Bob and Marj Tee Shirt mate 😅
All of this^^^ I’d gladly wear them here in the states.
Marge is shy until the makeup is on and hair in order. If Marge doesn't go her sister will. Bob and Marge are a pair, not only that, a team. Don't get between. They will join forces and turn that mean suppressed energy toward you. Incredible views. Glad you found a water source. At 104F it makes a long hard day when everything goes right. I was a desert dog for a few years. It will test you in ways you can't imagine. Laying on a sand dune with a hot bike on top of you and momentarily no way out will speed the mind into overdrive with warp coming up if you can't get out. Rodney did well. Always wanted a rider's view of the Simpson. All good from East Kentucky USA. Be safe in your endeavors.
Very inspiring to watch❤ Love the quality of your videos! Thank you for taking us along 🙏🏻
You two have seriously BIG balls to go out there !! Not for me. Very impressed with your abilities. Thanks for sharing.
That’s some mighty impressive riding and some mighty impressive coverage of it 👌🏻
I want a shirt with: "just getting it done" on the back and motology icon and "absolute legend" on the front... thank you adam... we feel and live the freedom by osmosis.
Love these outback missions Adam epic adventures and the real deal. Bob looked pretty happy with himself leaving Marg behind in the van. Probably the only bit a quiet he ever gets 😂😂
Haha, he was totally in his element with his mate in tow
Love how everyone is Bob and Marge. And they reply to it 😂😂😂😂
Seemlessly in character aren't they ;)
Haha questioning what you where doing there, exactly the same thoughts were going through my brothers and I's minds when we recently crossed, also in September of this year! 🥵
Great video mate, loving the series!
And yet you wouldn't be anywhere else aye! 👍
@@ianthepelican2709 exactly right mate, already miss being out there
Those Tenere's sound so damn good!! What a run this episode was. Wondering if Rodney is still having a good time! He looked a little down at the end there. Or that's just the expression everyone has when it's 104F amd you've battled sand all day!!
You both are goddam warriors!! 🫡
Fkn Epic.
That hay river track is brutal.
It makes the French line look like a walk in the park.
Cheers for sharing, Guys 🍻🍻
Epic lads, I was tired just watching the twists and turns in deep sand go on forever .... and in that heat - brutal but great to watch.
I Tip my cap to both of you, It's actually exhausting just watching it! Hell knows what it was like to ride that never ending road, with that extreme heat!!!
Bloody legends you are! Regards from Germany, mates!
Such amazing views and it looks so technical with all that sand. Nice riding!
the auto smoothing of the camera does a great job but the knees will tell a different story ... great job lads
If old mate Rodney can drop a bike at low speed like that, I dont feel so bad.
Hahahahaha nothing like giving old mate Toby a spray, he's a legend!
bob and marge 🤣🤣absolutely brilliant descriptions
I was getting a lactic acid burn in my quads just watching, faark, awesome adventure. Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing to watch. Brings back many memories - although that red sand and the heat drains the soul.
I did this route - or at least across Simpson Desert in 1989 on an XT 500 ( no tent, military bivvie bag and Kendal mint cake) - I broke down and was very dehydrated but had recently done a SF selection course and was as fit as a butchers dog - pushed to the limit. A Bob character came to my rescue with water, sweet tea and a hot meal of fried luncheon meat - I really didn’t know what I was doing and was lucky.
This year (actually a month or so before I met Adam at ABR in U.K.) I dropped my 1190 Adv R fully laden in Namib Desert and was stuck underneath with right foot pointing backwards - wriggled free in the soft sand and found I hurt my knee - now seriously thinking of those knee braces - although my AlpineStar Tech 7s and my armour saved me from being crushed --
In Nubian desert me and missus were going through 10 litres of water a day - you really need to watch the dehydration as it creeps up on you and can make you hallucinate or worse -- trouble is too much fuel and water weighs you down -
Still I’d do it all again
Did the Hay sept 23 on T7. Was so much harder than expected. Was a relief to get on QAA line haha. Had the same issue with water . You guys smashed it !! Great filming as allways
Epic trip one that will stay in the memory banks for ever.👍
Thanks for another fantastic video of a great, great ride from the two of You... I envy You, Your great country and fantastic continent ! And now ... The long., long wait for the next episode and the next video from Mr. Riemann... Thanks again !
we need more Bob´s and Marge´s in this world , I recon cheers Adam, was looking forward to this video, cant wait for the rest :)
All 4 of you are fricken BATTLERS, man. Bikes and blokes... taking on the dunes and heat.. doin' it. 👊
Final test for the World Raid. Faultless in the hardest conditions.
Magnificent video! Great adventure! Fantastic humour!
Living in UK it’s hard to imagine riding in such vast places with no other riders or drivers apart from a few Bob & Marge’s!
(hundreds of them touring Scotland though!). Great series Adam….cheers from Cambridge UK🇬🇧
A lot of us can relate to heat and sand, but I'm sure that almost none of us have endured anything close to what this section just handed to you and Rodney. Glad that everything worked out. Well done. (pun intended)
"bob's your uncle", marge must be your aunt? Bustards, emus, camels oh my. Just aawesome stuff boys, thanks for taking us along..moto by proxy! That Akro singing kept me watching. Hoist a cold one to ya'll, Cheers!
Just follow the little blue line mate 😁i was sweating just sitting here watching you guys.
Epic guys! Wow, that's a hell of a day! All the best from Canada....
You guys are just animals! Hustling those loaded down adventure bikes all day through that sand and heat must of taken an immense amount of energy and strength. Glad you guys were able to make it out of there in one piece. Cheers!
Wow! if Rodney came off in this sand what would us mere mortals do! Good on you boys
Incredible scenery, really great location for moto sport. Enjoyed the film obstacle challenge and survival element.
Just sooo good! Thanks for sharing your great life experiences!
Absolutely awesome, priceless,one life,live it 👌
Great episode Adam thanks for the journey across the Simpson
That looked tough not that you guys showed it and at 40deg
Always lessons to learn thanks for sharing
Rod man of few words but gets on with it what a champion
Looking forward to the next episode
Hope you had some good holidays with the family
Thanks
Dave
It’s like diving. Never loose sight of your buddy.
Great video again.
“ loose “ ? I guess you mean lose.
Thank you for posting, I don't think I've missed a single episode of yours, your video's are awesome.
You boys are absolutely mad… and I love it. Rodney looked like he was pretty damn glad to be done with that section, and moving like the few spills he had along the way were felt. Stoked y’all got it done and, safely. Ready for the next part. 🤘
Perfect day for this to come out. I’m out for the weekend on my T7 and just stopped in and had a chat to Rod at his shop. 👌
Its crime to watch something like this for free. You both are soldiers!
I recently broke my foot and rode 500 miles off trail up Paddy mountain in the US. I heard you saying "just get it done" the whole time lol. Keep up the amazing videos mate
Insane riding! 🤟 What a country! ❤️
Absolutely hard yakka in the heat, youre riding is the next level.
Did that Hay River track on fully loaded fuel & water and camping gear with a wr250 and it is brutal.
Let around on the fully loaded adventure bike. Nice vid Adam👌
Marj, what a Girl. Heading out from the UK to Tassie in December for some off road riding, can't wait to meet her.
Youve lucky youve Rodney to ride with you ,few others could maintain that pace.
Beautifully filmed .
Adam, we need a 'Bob and Marge' T-shirt 🙏
You two brave and bulletproof men. Be careful mates. Cheers 💪👍🙏🖖
To quote a Sgt when I was in the Army in the Middle East, "Water is weight, the lack of water is death". May we always get the balance between the two, correct. Awesome ride. Adam and Yo Rodney made that sand look easy, I know it's not.
Absolute legends, the both of ya.
"Forward motion, the nomadic rhythm" 🙌 That was the longest 6 months I've ever had to wait for an episode to drop. And we all know Adam needed a rest and some time with his family, and prolly another adventure squeezed in there. But yeah, that was a long 6 months.....sorry, I mean 2 weeks.....🤣
If I wasn't convinced about getting myself a T7 World Raid before, I certainly am now. Keep inspiring!
It’s hard to imagine those bikes are well over 220kg loaded the way those boys throw them around. What a great endorsement for Yamaha having Adam as your test pilot !!!
Great Ride With the RAID's....Stay Safe..👍
I'm speechless.. completely dried of words yet living an explosion of emotions. Attenborough is kindergarten level compared to you, mate! Thank you for another unparalleled one, Adam!
I need some of this shit. Harsh hostile beautiful environment that brings back the human instinct to survive. Much better than the shit iam living through right now in the UK. Brilliant video and trip Adam👍
Hallo
Super tolle Aufnhamen Danke fūrs mitnehmen.👍
Grüße aus Deutschland
always makes my day when I see Riemann post a video
That's awesome you two are the real deal well done 👏
