Welcome to the 500 club Scott. Set-up for adventuring they are unstopable. Get those risers on, a comfy seat and you are on your way. Just a big smile machine really.
Yes a smile machine for sure, it comes close to giving me wood LOL ill set it up a bit more for comfort but the 890 and 690 will still fill the adv roles. I would love to tow the 501 the the Vic high country though. Id love to take another shot at Billy goats with it.
I'm a big believer in asking the Universe for things. With positive thinking you can manifest the life you desire. Not always easy, i know. I hope you get that 501 in your shed someday soon!
Right I’ve watched the video which was excellent. I have a 701 and an FE350. The 350 has improved my off road riding ability considerably as it’ll go anywhere as I’m sure your 501 will. I’d definitely get a decent bashplate as soon as possible and some hand guards and then you’re sorted. Rider mode 2 is the more assertive/responsive engine mode but to be honest either mode is just fine for riding off road. 👍
Thanks for the info on ride modes. Ill play with them more next outing. Funny enough i have hand guards and bashplate on the kitchen table waiting to go on..
Funny thing, i tore the stem of an ultra heavy duty tube last week on the 690. I had no rim lock though, will install on this week when i replace the tyre. But yes these 501s are little mountain goats. I need to work on my balance now.
I was just thinking only yesterday, this guy hasn't posted any videos recently I hope he's OK. UK time is bed time now so I'll have to watch this video in the morning 👍
Hi mate just off subject a bit how did your rhino walk panniers go as I am thinking off buying a set I watched your vid on them when you purchased them so just wondering if they are any good

Cool video Scotty, doing well tackling some of the gnarly tracks 👍
Thanks 👍 these lighter bikes definitely instill more confidence on these gnarly surfaces. Luckily the sand was wet. It might have thrown me otherwise.

That bike is the same thing like the KTM 500
Nice bike, nice tracks. Good to see you back. BTW i recon Simo might be stalking you :)
LOL you might be right!
If ya got hd tubes in you can have like 5 psi in those tyres you will go anywhere 😂

Where is this ?? Looks like a fun ride
Glasshouse mountains in qld australia. Tonnes of fun track through this area.
😮 You still got the other bikes? 690, 890 etc
Yes i do 🤪 I've been using "biker nut' as a login for the last 25 years for a reason LOL I love all 3, i just need a 1200 now to cover the whole range

Haha Thanks for the concern. Life got busy and I got behind on the edits. I have a few rides still to edit. 2 were epic!
@@ManBikeSwag I wondered if you’d bled out after your last video demonstrating the simplicity of that tyre changing device 😂😂

The material is a little think when compared to the big brands but they mount well.
What happened with the SUV?
Some young girls lost control and rolled it a few times. They didn't want us to call the police or any help, they said Mum was on her way.
@@ManBikeSwag were they over the limit? Seems suspicious.
Meth
