GoshuGoshu agreed they are risking their life to do it, so they obviously love it. And that is all that matters. People need to chill, I bet these guys dont even have bikes because I do and I just think of these people as people who understand the world I love of motorcycles.
Amen to that G, I've been riding for over 40 years ,never owned a car,ride all year round in sunny (2 days a year) Britain. Do what you want,make your own choices and lead your own life. Some like to ride in groups,join clubs,ride old bikes,flash bikes,sports bikes,tourers, sunny days only,down to the local cafe or across the world and everything in between. Why should anyone else bother? I ride a ratty old 600 Bandit that I've owned for 5 years and prefer to ride alone. What others do doesn't interest me,their bike,their life and if they enjoy themselves good for them. I've got a mate who did less miles on his Kawasaki Cruiser in 7 years than I do in 2 months,it's not a competition and he got as much enjoyment out of that bike while he owned it as anyone else does from theirs. I see plenty of posers around when the sun's out with expensive bikes they polish more than they ride but even then,I don't get their mindset but I don't need to,if they get a kick out of it it's their money,their choice etc. Too much hate and judgement in this world not least for totally ridiculous reasons like what kind of motorcycle someone rides or how they choose to enjoy doing so.
I finally found something to put on my bucket list. I'm 64 , been riding since the 7th grade , have been riding all over the USA and was getting complacent. Now I have a goal to shoot for. A cross country ride in Australia ! Thanks !
Really enjoyed the vid. I'll be 67 in June. I've been riding since I was a kid. When I'm not riding I'm thinking of riding. This definitely reminded me of younger days lol. I still have four bikes that I ride.
That was absolutely fantastic, probably the best thirty minutes I have spent on Youy Tube for a long time. The freedom, creativity, individuality and friendship was phenomenal, the ride awesome and the whole thing truly summed up motorbike riding.
I'm a crusty veteran rider and I don't do the group ride thing, but this crowd look like they are having a ball for all the right reasons, go easy on the rum unless you like riding with a head clanger!! More power to them.
I've watched way too many Motorcycle videos in my TH-cam lifetime, and this by far takes the cake. Love the dynamic, the cultural representation, and the cinematic collaboration as a whole. I swear to god, you better do another one of these...
I have done these roads in a bus with student’s twice now and I spent the entire trip on both occasions wishing I was on my m bike. Thanks for the docco.
Great little film how I envy you for the space and climate. Very hard to replicate this in the cold wet and very over crowded UK. How I wish I'd moved to Oz when I had the chance 30 years ago. Keep the videos coming as they cheer up UK Thruxton owners pushing 60.
Glad to see the route that they took included smooth and rough roads, Dirt and potholed roads. Beautiful country that will be missed by faster riders.. Excellent.
Thought it was about a guy named Jerry who was a really good rider, or had to overcome some stuff and found a love for motorcycles. Not disappointed though. Even if it is a commercial and not a documentary.
It is funny hearing older bikers complaining about younger bikers. I heard the same thing from road cyclists bitching about middle aged men getting into cycling. At the end of the day we all like to find a group that fits with the lifestyle we choose, and if it is a motorbike or a road bike than that is a choice we get to make. We may interact with the machine and the culture differently to other generations, but I don't see how that makes anyone less valid as a motorcyclist or road cyclist. No culture is exclusive to a particular generation, the argument has no grounding.
A pity AUS is so distant; one always feels at home in Brizzy, been there twice - not on two wheels unfortunately. And you just watch the doc, aussies are really great, everybody's welcome. What more can I say.
Loved the bike of shame!! I actually ride one (CB250) hahaha. Looks like a hell of a country to ride through...kinda made me jealous and I'm sure most of those who wrote sarcastic comments also feel the same way. A twin exhaust salute from Spain to all you two-wheeled mental cases out there. V
Glad you all enjoyed yourselves. I have done the same with perhaps a little more adventure. Great stuff. However, it was a little tiring for this to be only about personalities instead of the subject, which was the ride. People raving on about themselves when you have never met them has limited interest. I had to turn it off after 12 minutes
Enjoyed your video, being a (old) biker. Great to see youngster are picking it up, the bike virus. Myself, I also enjoy old sporty open three/four wheelers (anything up till the mid-'30s)... as long you remain a free spirit & explore, like what you all are/were doing > keep doing it, great!
Good on em... I hope they enjoyed the trip.. everyone has a different style...and screw anyone who rags you out for yours... Just stay true to yourself.
At approx 19:20 is that Chris the bassist from Silverchair? Great video by the way. I love bikes and anyone who rides them. Put that together with music and drinking........happy days
Nice video, I don't care what they ride. They ride and they have done a nice trip. To all the haters, I know, you are the only real bikers on the road. Good thing that there are so many roads out there, so I think everybody gonna find a road to ride, alone or together. Hipster or not the video is great. I would love to see more of this :D Cheers
With the obvious exception of the blatant shilling for the corporate master, great stuff. Ride on, riders! Remember, you don't need "Jerry" to ride your bike.
Looks like a brilliant trip! The girl with the green thruxton...... where did you get that dual, brown seat as purchasing one would help get my gf to allow me to get one haha!???
I can't believe this crap that I am reading. I have been riding motorcycles for over 40 years and yes this is a promotion for sailor Jerry but it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor or whatever world you come from,if it's got two wheels and it brings you peace in yourself and you enjoy what you are doing then shut up and ride. I don't care about what people think or say about me when I ride,that's not what it is about.what it's about can't be explained and if you ride and I mean really ride,you will know what I am saying.if you don't then get a motorcycle and go get lost on it for a few days and then you will understand.
If you got a bike then your a biker in my opinion. No one has monopoly on being a biker & if you don't like or agree then don't watch the video & go do your own thing. Biking is about comradery. Ride on brothers & sisters!!
Peace be upon you. I hope that I have such a motorcycle and my dream will come true. I am from Morocco from the city of Berkane. My name is Al-Bouhadidi, Noureddine. I live in the roundabout of Habeel No. 3, Taourirt
The new riders of today remind me of when the surfie scene changed. Now it's bikes and they are so clean. Clean hair cuts, tattoos, nice clothes. They are having fun l suppose. Hipsters Mods what would you call them. Are they the reason our speed zones are dropping
It's been said in the comments before but I feel like giving my own two cents as well... I don't really understand why these guys and gals get looked down on by people who at least implicitly call themselves the "true" riders. I'm the same generation as the guys in the video, and yeah they may be hipsters, but that doesn't diminish their passion for riding. It's just as true and fulfilling for them as it is to those in the comment section who complain that they saw someone using a smartphone during the video, as if that would prove anything about that person's actions or attitude. As if they were somehow at fault for being born in 1990 rather than in 1960. Stuff like this says a lot more about the people commenting than about the ones being commented on. When have bikers become so elitist and exclusive? Isn't that the exact opposite of the "Freedom" and the "Community Spirit" that are so often hailed among riders? Those things that we all hold sacred lose all their meaning if people start excluding each other based on imagined distinctions, which makes the whole standpoint impossible to defend. Shouldn't we all be glad that the torch is carried on by the next generation, who share that passion and fire of the old one? In the best case, shouldn't the old generation take to the new one and show them their ways, rather than acting as if their own experience is somehow superior and more authentic (whatever that is actually supposed to mean) than theirs? The more you think about it, the less founded in reality this pedestal of "true-ness" actually is. The miles the young ones ride are just as real as the ones the old folks did.
Well, Stephan, I bet if you asked if you could ride with these people, you would be given the the arse. That is of course if you didn't have the right bike, the right tattoo, the right beard, the right job and drank the right rum.
@@jimmyjazz240 that actually goes counter to my own experience with the "hipster" crowd. The evidence is anecdotal, admittedly, but I for one experienced this flock to be very much on the inclusive side.
Looks like fun glad you enjoyed it even if it is contrived. but let’s be serious with a support van and mechanic it’s not hard to do. As for tattoos and rum you’ve turned it into a biking cliche along with the Deep meanings of riding a bike. As Bruce Lee would say just be. For real adventure riders check out your own Aussie Ruinners I saw them in Biarritz doing hard miles around Europe. In the Swiss Alps I met another Aussie hired a bike riding around going with the flow,we rode together for a short time. Set your sights higher especially when your young.
why all this hate?! i don't care if these guys are "real bikers" or not. They are enjoying riding their bikes and i'm totally cool with that.
GoshuGoshu agreed they are risking their life to do it, so they obviously love it. And that is all that matters. People need to chill, I bet these guys dont even have bikes because I do and I just think of these people as people who understand the world I love of motorcycles.

There having more fun than most of the the bikers i know & that's what it's all about.
@@McPorky right on dude...
What a great gig. This is living. I would do this any day all day ! Forever Two Wheels..... ride ON ! 👍😎👍
I finally found something to put on my bucket list. I'm 64 , been riding since the 7th grade , have been riding all over the USA and was getting complacent. Now I have a goal to shoot for. A cross country ride in Australia ! Thanks !
Great documentary. There are many jealous people here because they will never do this in such a beautiful place.
Really enjoyed the vid. I'll be 67 in June. I've been riding since I was a kid. When I'm not riding I'm thinking of riding. This definitely reminded me of younger days lol. I still have four bikes that I ride.

I could get on just fine with all these folks! My kinda people for sure. Wish I was there now!
This is beyond awesome. Really enjoyed meeting all the characters, bikes, location, Rum and tattoos. Way to go in Oz. ❤

Glad to see the route that they took included smooth and rough roads, Dirt and potholed roads. Beautiful country that will be missed by faster riders.. Excellent.
Its amazing to see people happy while riding their bikes..hope i can join oneday..
Def.. what life is about. Thanks guys for the vids, cheers from México!
Nice video guys, I love that fun freedom spirit. It’s not the bike that matters, it’s where you’re going.
i agree a great video,but if i may add,its not the bike nor the destination ,its about the journey and they look like they had an awesome journey

Great Video. A lot of memories watching this.
Is that a Hemmy good sir?
What à ride.....shame Belgium is to far away . Great group to ride with.
what a great fun enjoyable video and great group, Im from Hawaii and would love to do a Jerry Can ride with you guys in the future...keep it going!

Ok....I made it to 10.40 and had yet to hear any sounds of motorcycles. Is this a ride or a fashion parade?
lol...
Lmfaooo
Bikes are loud, tattoos are like timeless y'know.
I only made it to 9.09... I love bikes and I love Sailor Jerry rum.... I hate people that are all "Look at me" ... ok I'm going back into watch more
yep.... I watched the entire video..... not a single sound of the faintest exhaust....
26mn in & just realized its just a phukn infomercial for sailor jerry liquor🤦🏽♀️...gaw damn it
Brilliant documentary! Brilliant!!
SJ tattoos - timeless.
Thanks for your video. It makes me miss OZ alot...
Good on em... I hope they enjoyed the trip.. everyone has a different style...and screw anyone who rags you out for yours... Just stay true to yourself.
The old z750 rocking it. Gold!
At approx 19:20 is that Chris the bassist from Silverchair? Great video by the way. I love bikes and anyone who rides them. Put that together with music and drinking........happy days

Great video! We here at VikingBags really support your content! Keep up the good work!
Wonderful video 📹 👏 ❤

That's one awesome video
Really enjoyed it real freedom in a rat race world love it 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Nice video, I don't care what they ride. They ride and they have done a nice trip.
To all the haters, I know, you are the only real bikers on the road. Good thing that there are so many roads out there, so I think everybody gonna find a road to ride, alone or together. Hipster or not the video is great. I would love to see more of this :D

Brilliant ride 👍

Those skateboards on the wall were rocking.
amazing video, great crew, rnr !
Should make it an annual thing. I'd definitely join all the way fr canberra
The cb 250, the most reliable bike there, and the star of the show.
I LOVE MOTORCYCLE ❤🙌🙋🏻♂️🇧🇷☝️
nice i really like this video. ride thru life
Looks like a brilliant trip! The girl with the green thruxton...... where did you get that dual, brown seat as purchasing one would help get my gf to allow me to get one haha!???
Right
On
Mate !
You are a Nice group!! Hello people
I can't believe this crap that I am reading. I have been riding motorcycles for over 40 years and yes this is a promotion for sailor Jerry but it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor or whatever world you come from,if it's got two wheels and it brings you peace in yourself and you enjoy what you are doing then shut up and ride. I don't care about what people think or say about me when I ride,that's not what it is about.what it's about can't be explained and if you ride and I mean really ride,you will know what I am saying.if you don't then get a motorcycle and go get lost on it for a few days and then you will understand.
OMG you are so correct you can't put it in to words you have to experience it first hand 🙋♂️🇬🇧
La vie de motard ! Live to ride , ride to live !!!
7:21. that is by far the most epic road in the world... wait till u travel to Ladakh...
This is the most hipster video ever made.
a hipster singularity
What's a hipster?
If you got a bike then your a biker in my opinion. No one has monopoly on being a biker & if you don't like or agree then don't watch the video & go do your own thing. Biking is about comradery. Ride on brothers & sisters!!
The Best!!👏👏👍👍
Great bikes... have fun guys!! Keep riding... your going the wrong way on the wrong side of the road btw...
Sure its a promo for alot of the people in here. But hey, they ride... maybe not a “big adventure” but they ride... you cant be against that.
Hey everyone! I'm looking at a 1974 Honda CB360, would that be sufficient for this type of riding done here?
Looks like a blast
You lost me when you refer to riding as 'driving'.
Excellent great 👍
Take fiVE , Counter on , year. ..
.. .
LOVE NEW ZELAND KIWI.
Great vedio...wanna join them with my Yamaha RX
Are any of you still ridning biks or…….?
A good simple work
I'm still waiting for 2017 ride video, will there be one?
Cool, why did I meet these people
Nice video. But who plays ping pong with their beer on the table!? That’s serial killer shit.
man i wish i enough money to get my son and i to AUS to do this ride on our bikes
nice ride, hope i have lots of money so i could quit my job and do that kind of ride!!!
Coole Truppe! So macht Leben Spass ;-)
Peace be upon you. I hope that I have such a motorcycle and my dream will come true. I am from Morocco from the city of Berkane. My name is Al-Bouhadidi, Noureddine. I live in the roundabout of Habeel No. 3, Taourirt
Hey guys are you douing the same ride this year og 2018? i would like to join you i need to explore Australia.
so im in if you ride again.
I wondered who Jerry was and what had happened to him to make this ride so important... then the penny dropped. :/
I'm used to ride alone.
The new riders of today remind me of when the surfie scene changed. Now it's bikes and they are so clean. Clean hair cuts, tattoos, nice clothes. They are having fun l suppose. Hipsters Mods what would you call them. Are they the reason our speed zones are dropping
I love bikes. Not fond of hipsters. It's not that I look down on them. I find they look down on anyone who's not a hipster.
What is the name of the band/song featured @13:24
I want to be part of this hipster crew
Do you have a beard?
Do you at least one tattoo?
Do you have a non-office job?
Were you born after 1992?
:P
What did you do for fuel? stingy tank on the Sporty.
Pause the video at 15:20, every single one of them is standing there staring at there phones... tells you what you need to know.
updating their myspace on how epic the ride is
Haha the reality
someone knows the name of the track starting from 13:04-13:37 ?
Ruslan Veliiev have you had any luck? I tried soundhound and nothing.
Nothing .
I got to 1:40 and the shaky handheld video got too annoying.
Do you Y'all call em hipsters in Oz or do you got your own name for em down under?

This is more a giant advertisement for Sailor Jerry’s with clever product placement and less about riding. Hate to hate. But I want to see bikes
Old looking but new I'm confused
