Is this the World’s best remote area touring bike? Some would say so.
Join these three Adventure Riders as they go to the heart of the Australian Outback and venture in some of the most remote and inhospitable country that the land down under has to offer.
In this vid, the Three Wise Men start heading for home, a distance of over 2,000km away. The rain continues making conditions a little tricky for the next 48 hours. After that, conditions improve and everything is going swimmingly until…
Grab ya gear; Lets go!

Pedestrian crossing for Camels? Lol. Great video, awesome views.
Special mention to JP doing most of the trip with a busted ankle. Double tough!
Great series Steve. Already looking forward to the next one. Nothing brightens my TH-cam day as much as seeing a new "Mongrel Dog Production" pop up in my notifications. Inspirational stuff... as well as educational. Thanks again.
Hi astrobusa, glad you enjoyed the journey and the Channel content. Watch this space!
I think the winner is you ( for doing these trips and taking us with you) and your subscribers to get to view for another crackin journey. Thanks. Cheers 4 sharing sir.
Hi Just Tex, glad you enjoyed the journey. Watch this space.
Thanks Steve , great stuff!
I’m glad there are guys like you who make the effort to record trips like this. Respect.
I wouldn’t have the patience to do it , setting up cameras , sending up a drone, editing and all the other things involved ! Looking forward to your next adventure!
Cheers :-))
Hi Kiwizz 21, i guess you could call it a hobby..it definitely keeps me off the streets at night. There is a bit of work involved (editing etc). I'm glad you enjoyed the journey.
I see the elephants! Thanks for taking us along Steve , another great series.
Thank goodness somebody else sees the elephants…unthought I was going crazy lol. Glad you enjoyed the journey.
The legends back
Interesting camera angles viewing front and rear suspension working,we’ll done enjoyed it
Great video Steve, it's not just you, that definitely was a herd of elephants! Catching up on your videos, currently watching the "Milk Run" series. Keep up the excellent work you do. I always learn someting new on each posted series. Stay safe mate! 🏍👍
I'm not a biker but, i enjoy your vids greatly. Thanks to you and your two mates, mate.
Glad you enjoy the journey…
I check my TH-cam every morning to see if there is another Mongrel Dog Production video. I thouroughly enjoy every single one of them. Thanks for sharing
all your journeys Steve. Maybe one day you'll let me join you on one!
Hi TWR, glad you have something to look forward to each day...could be a few weeks till the next one(s). Watch this space.
Bravo gents. Nice ride.
Even better watching the second time 🍻
Great point, the best bike is what works for the rider. Loved the videos thanks for taking us on a ride!
Nice episode, I can’t believe in all that distance no emus or Roos jumped out of the scrub in front of you. Cheers
Hey Steve, Great trip mate, thanks for taking me along. Stay safe mate.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you not harping on subscribing etc... For me, youtube is a sharing platform, not a business or popularity contest. Thank you for another great video! Looking forward to your next adventure! Need my Mongrel Dog fix! Stay safe.
Hi DG, yeah, I don’t flog the Channel. You’re either a fan or your not. Glad you enjoy the Channel content. Thanks for watching. Subscribe and hit the notification bell for every up load hahaha. 👍
@@mongreldogproductions lol. You're the BEST!
Another great adventure and video series to match Steve.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for taking the time to make these vlogs and showing us your amazing country 🇬🇧
You're welcome.
I'm not brave enough to ride a motorbike but i've added many of the locations you visited to my future travel list
Great series of videos, loved watching them all , looks like your rear tyre did the job well , look forward to your next video, cheers.
Hi PD, the tyre behaved as expected. 6,400km and there wasnt a lot of life left in it. Thanks for watching.
Once again a great series Steve, well done. In the early 1970's a group of us travelled the Gunbarrel Hwy trialling motorcycles for use in the SASR. We came across a mob of camels which wouldn't get out of the wheel tracks (which is all the Gunbarrel was then) and we followed them for almost 9 kilometres whilst they did as you described, snorted, sprayed snot and foamed at the mouth, before we felt that if we didn't either force them off the track or just stop chasing them they would run themselves to death. The irony of that was that here we were out in the middle of absolutely nowhere, millions of open acres/hectares all around, and these stupid animals would not move off the tracks. Eventually we got up beside them and forced them out into the spinifex. We must have really depleted their long range water tanks for them.
Interesting…I’d be interested to hear more about the types of bikes chosen (I’ve spent a bit of time with SF myself wink, wink).
Thanks for watching.
@@mongreldogproductions Yeah I agree. I'm guessing BSA's......maybe B44? Or could be the early XL series Honda's? I've never been SF or any other but I love old bikes and the stories that go with them. Cheers
another great video . great filming thanks mate take care
Mega déjà by as you went through the NP gate in the rain.
Another top trip, thanks for putting it together and sharing it Steve.
Next!
'Next'?...I'm having a rest! Watch this space.
Great finale to a great adventure. Can't wait for your next trip! Thumbs up all round
That was an awesome ride brother, I am glad I came across it while I was TH-cam surfing, stay safe and upright
A great series. Thank you for all your efforts in producing this.
I appreciate it from Missouri, USA
Hi CT, I am always humbled when i get a comment from someone outside of Australia. I'm glad you enjoyed the content and the journey. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Brilliant ride mate.
What an amazing trip mate, your storytelling and video skills are really improving, was such a pleasure to watch
Now you have that BMW tattoo there will be no changing of brands. Love your vids. Thanks. Tim
Hi Steve. Greetings. Fantastic trip. Thanks for taking us along.
You’re welcome.
Great vid, totally agree with your conclusion.
Another well documented video you’ve inspired me to do exactly what you have done. Just purchased a tenere 700 and are planning a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide’s outback flinders ranges & Oodnadatta track. One of my travel bucket list is Simpson dessert then Cape York hope to see you on the track. Cheers
Such a adventure you have taken, I appreciate your commentary and sharing your journey, stay safe on the road , look forward to seeing more of your fantastic adventures. Thanks Ella~Rose.
Thank you…watch this space.
Thanks for another brilliant upload Steve, you’re a true inspiration mate. I’ve got the DR, camping gear and can’t wait to tell my mates, “Grab ya gear, let’s go!”
Hahaha…I might have to Copyright that saying. Good luck.
@@mongreldogproductions I already have mate....sell it to ya or i can just keep an account for ya? Mates rates of course!
Thanks Steve great trip as usual !
Just love the sound of the big lazy slow revving BMW
Looking forward to the next trip !!!
another great show thanks 👍😎
You're welcome!
Onya Steve, very impressed with some great examples of snore zone etiquette observed in this series... you blokes know your stuff. But seriously a gem of a series, a real credit to you mate.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed the journey.
Another great series. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Awesome work lads
Enjoyed the series Steve, thanks for sharing
Thanks Steve, love your videos, I am in South Africa but keen to join you guys😎
Grab ya gear; Let’s go!
If you found the Reef, you managed to keep it pretty quiet my long lost relo. Thanks mate.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Love that red ground, miss it a lot.
Thanks for taking us along on your journey Steve. Great production and magnificent footage. Cheers mate.
I'm not a bike enthusiast, but gee these video's have been great viewing. I'm sure that you would have many a camp story to tell. Thank you very much for sharing, I've subscribed for hopefully many more adventures.
Hi P&tP, welcome to the Channel, enjoy the journey. Thanks for watching.
I have watched many overlanding videos but these feel particularly authentic.
Great series, appreciate the time & effort MDP.😎
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed the journey.
That was a beaut adventure.
Hope the mates ankle will get OK.
Nice to see no one died this time.
Whatdya mean…’this time’? Nobody’s died on my watch (yet) hahaha. Thanks for watching.
Living the dream mate, the quintessential Outback trip, hope to do this one sometime..
Thanks for the journey once again
Excellent video. I will never get to do the trips you have so at least have an incling of what it's like, thanks from the UK.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Nothing quite like the excitement of watching a new series... then reaching the end of it and the associated sadness that its over and complete.. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
I agree with you regarding the GS, Steve. Although I ride an Airhead GS now, my previous bike was an 1100GS, so pretty much the same engine/suspension setup as yours, albeit more primitive. What a fantastic bike that was, 182,000km and still going strong when a sudden front tire deflation at speed from the then new tubeless Mitas E07 put me down the road big time and the bike at the auction. People scoff at the big BM chookies, but in the right hands they are great.
I won’t be getting rid of mine anytime soon. Thanks for your continued support. 👍
I agree. I had a 2004 GS1200 and it was a remarkably capable machine for such big bike. Even did some pretty gnarly hill climbs on it; crapping all the way up mind you. I regret selling it so I could afford to do some Vintage Scrambles on old BSA's and Hondas. Now that I'm too "broken" for racing I've got the urge for another GS1200 in part thanks to Steve!
Good series of videos, very interesting, thank you very much for sharing.
Just BRILLIANT !!!!!!!! thanks for spending the time filming , producing and editing Steve so enjoyable
Happy to share the adventure(s). Glad you enjoyed it.
Looks like a great trip, thanks for recording it and letting us all see it.
As always, thanks for sharing your adventure and looking forward to the next one.
Nice ride m8, some of the stuff showing the suspension workin, surprised me. I rode a bike in the Philippines 1989. Not since. Keep up the good work.
Once again you have succeeded in producing an interesting and informative video of your adventures, I think I speak for all of your followers it’s interesting to know a little about the history of the places you visit on your adventures, you have taken the time to do your research and it’s always appreciated .
Hi Graham, these types of comments are very much appreciated and make it all worthwhile. Thank you and thanks for watching.
Great series Steve, thanks for taking us with you. Anyone who ventures “out west” owe a huge debt of gratitude to Len Beadell. I think you’ve got a lot in common with Len. Thanks for showing the cat cage. Agree with your comments on the GSA.
Another great series Steve. Keep them coming.
Terrific series, always love when something pops up in the feed with your name next to it. What else can I say except thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing another great adventure. It makes me want to get the big girl out of the garage again and do some riding.
Grab ya gear; Let’s go! Thanks for watching.
You've certainly covered a lot of WA's more rugged trips, entertaining watching and that rain didn't bother me one bit. 😂 Goodluck..
Glad you enjoyed the journey...
Love your vids Steve. Having a binge at the moment in preparation for a Cameron’s Corner / Arkaroola trip.
H James, glad you enjoy the Channel content. Enjoy your journey. I've just returned from the Tip of Cape York. Watch this space.
@@mongreldogproductions that’s on my bucket list too. Eagerly awaiting that series Steve!!!!!!!
Your use of that big BMW, for going long distances solo in remote areas, speaks to your comfort level with the reliability of the bike. Wish me luck, I just took the plunge and bought my first BMW 1200 (used) except it's the authority version of the pavement-princess RT. Been riding it in city traffic trying to gel with it. Be careful of the test rides :)
@@suzyamerica4679 I think you’ll love it…it is all about the engineering and the build quality. Mine has just ticked over 150,000km and I have all the confidence in it to keep me going across this Country for a little while yet.
😀
@@mongreldogproductions I am very impressed so far. The seller let me take a nice test ride. He got on my bike (the Versys 650) and led me through some local twisties while I followed. We did ride somewhat aggressively. This one is an ex state police pursuit vehicle and it shows. I am trying to find out of BMW made a shop manual for these authority bikes, because they are mechanically different from the civilian models.
Thks for sharing Steve. Authentic coverage of regions, geography and realisms with off grid travel. Look forward to your next adventure.
Thank you. Watch this space.
Yet another cracking video and what an advert for the bikes and not forgetting the skill set of the riders 👏👏👏 Look forward to more video adventures 😀
Enjoyed that series.
Thanks 👍
That was an excellent series thank you. Your editing is getting very professional. More soon please!
Thanks for the positive feedback. Watch this space.
Thanks for sharing 👍
I’m loving how fast the content is coming out, the only thing I watch nowadays .. Usually with videos like this you’ll see one get uploaded then they won’t upload for a month or so after. Good stuff Steve 👍
I’ve had to work overtime to get these out so quickly. I’m goin’ off grid for a while just to get some rest. Watch this space!
well that was a awesome trip really enjoyed it thanks for making it available , be keen to catch up next time in perth say gooday , cheers Steve/Geraldton
Oooh how I love your videos.... sooo many memories and sooooo very many places I have never seen. THANK you. I rewatch many of them to give me the boost.
Hi KO’D, glad you find them entertaining…I couldn’t ask for more. Thanks for your continued support.
@@mongreldogproductions Beyond entertaining............... just totally jealous mate!! LOVE you trips/adventures!
Very enjoyable to watch, thank you Steve.
You’re welcome!
Rippn series, takes me away from the dreary Vic winter at least for 20 minutes or so cheers👍
Asm an Outback Travelling nut, I just love how the outback provides the best camping spots.......I just love the red dirt....thanks Steve for providing me with the inspiration to get my sleeping bag out again !
I keep getting drawn back to the Outback. I’ll be out there again soon I’m sure. Thanks for watching.
what a great series , thank you for all that great filming , i'm an Aussie living abroad and you sure made me homesick with this adventure , I think your the winner , cause it don't matter what bike your on as long as you're out there doing it ...Thanks again so much mate just real good !!!!
Well done I enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed it
Steve, what an interesting series of episodes, your trips are really inspiring for aspirational folks wanting to get out and explore our vast great southern land off the blacktop! Muchas gracias!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos Steve!
Another superb series. I live on the east coast and can't see a time in the near future where I could afford the the time or money to do a trip in WA. So many places to see, so far away.
Please keep the trips and scenic tour videos coming. 👍
enjoyed the series Steve, what a tour. Love the idea for the foot peg lift.
Thanks heaps for a great video makes may when you complete another video
I to own a BMW GS 1200 LC fantastic bike.
Awesome man 👍
Great trip and thanks for sharing!
Great series Steve. Your work just keeps getting better.
When is the next 4x4 adventure. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Mark, I’m actually on it atm. Heading for the Pilbara but with family so no video this time. I will be out again with Wanneroo Wanderers in July doing the Gunbarrel and Connie Sue. Watch this space.
@@mongreldogproductions can't wait 👍👍👍
Excellent coverage very enjoyable , the best I've ever seen terrific footage and commentary, can't wait to see your next adventure.
Thanks for watching. Glad you’ve enjoyed the journey. See you on the other side.
Great video really enjoyed them all
Thank 😊
Really enjoyed that series Steve, thank you. Cheers.
Well another highly entertaining episode Steve! I thought the rains would make the GCR a re-run of the earlier trip mud bath! Thankfully not 👍
He who snores loudest, pitches their tent furthest 😂 Well done!
Hahaha...it's not obvious how far away i am until you see it from the air. No re run from last year (thank goodness) but i will be crossing again later in the year....never say never! Thanks for watching.
So , so right you are! We are all different and Noraly (Itchy Boots) is riding a 300cc Honda Ralieigh ( I think it is) right through the Americas up to Alaska, F M dead! What a chick she is!! Thanks for your input mate!
Great trip Steve, Thanks for taking me places il probably never see. Bring on the next one! 🍺🍺
Gotta rest and catch my breath first. Watch this space.
Awesome series mate
Fantastic work many cheers
Great video and awesome series ride safe
this must have been recent mate. My mate took a tour to the rock yesterday and she was running waterfalls everywhere. You might have escaped the worst of it by the looks.. love your vids mate.
Great trip Steve. Thanks for sharing your adventure 🤙
Great stuff Steve. Was eagerly waiting for your next series of videos. And you didn't disappoint! Keep up the good work
I see you are using the vango banshee 200. Ive used that on a lot of moto camping trips.. great piece of kit! Great Vid.
Hi DS, glad you like the vid..I do spend a bit of time in that tent. This is the third Banshee 200 that i've worn out. I like the layout. Economical tent when its time to replace it. I know some guys who spend $800AUD on a tent and they STILL leak. Go figure. 😀
Another great series mate.
