Hi Alex, it’s great you realise and appreciate the effort that goes into the production of these vids. It is a labour of love but worth it when I get positive feedback like yours. Thank you. 😀
Thanks for the memories mate . When I drove port hedland > broome that was still mostly dirt . There are some interesting stories how the original Sandfire flats roadhouse started ---- like trucking in drums of fuel . I picked up a wooden leg beside the road east of port hedland . The bloke I was working for carted coffins to broome and they were stored on top of the office ---- you can imagine the looks we got after I stored the wooden leg 1/2 out of a coffin 😇 🤣.
Great vlogs love it, living vicariously through them and good to see regardless of the heat you keep all your gear on not like a lot of other cowboys who ride in tshirts, I only came off once as a 17 year old in a T-shirt and never want to repeat it, keep up the good work!
Another great episode thanks Steve. I really enjoy your outback travels even though I am not a biker. Many thanks for the hours of filming and editing.
The comment "A long dick drag" bought a tear to my eye. Thanks mate 😂. The BMW sounds back to its glorious best, thanks for dropping the right elbow and giving it its head on the bitumen a couple of times.
Yeah, a Dick Drag! Best way I can describe a not too pleasant experience. You start out strong, next thing you’re cowering forward, then your on bendered knees, next step is on all fours and after that you’re on the ground dragging yourself on your elbows with your Dick being dragged in the mud. Best way to explain it I reckon! Glad it made you smile. 😀
Thanks Steve. 18:10 stayed at that caravan park for two weeks in 2019 with the vehicle and off road camper (the chuck wagon) to make and mend, refuel, refood, rewater in prep for our five week Gib adventure - the other 11 flew into Broome and hired some fourbys (with Engel 50 fridges). I had made a frozen meat order (vac-packed), six weeks before I left Canberra. I also got a guy who does a mobile bearing service and also a mobile sparky for an a/c service. I carried a WAECO 95DZ (all freezer), a WAECO 50 (for liquids) and had the Evakool 47 as the ready-bin. I'm banging on, but it took 18 months to plan and we had the best time of our lives. 26:20 at Sandfire, I felt the aftershocks of the earthquake in Broome (at the time). It was the strangest thing watching caravans sway at the fuel bowser but no vibrations through the feet. Stu
I can’t believe how many people don’t know that a Suzuki needs T ‘s put into their carb breathers so when the hose is blocked by water it’II breath in through the high mounted hose that’s tucked into the frame or airbox.
Mate a great show what an adventure. I live in Kalgoorlie and am a retired soldier. Would love to come on a ride with you sometime if that would be possible. My name is Tony, please keep me in mind. Easy to get on with. Spent just over 20 years in the military and 7 years as a west Australian police officer. Sitting around at home these day not doing to much. I’m 64 years old.

Hi steve, love the videos of this epic journey, I want to share with you an old trick I was shown by a friend with a quad bike used for bush bashing when it comes to getting the tyre to seal on the rim, I saw the video the other day of all the dramas you guys had with your mates bike, and I remembered my mates solution and it is good old dish washing liquid, you run a small amount of the dish liquid around the tyre edge where it meets the rim, leave it sit for a minute or so and then inflate the tyre like normal, dish washing liquid is very slippery and because of how thick it is, it seals itself against air loss, because its so slippery, the tyre just slides up the rim easily and the extra thick liquid seals it air tight, with all the gear you guys carry on your journey , a little 200ml squeezy bottle of dish liquid ( parmolive works a treat ) wouldnt take much room at all, and it will save you many dramas out on the ride, cheers.
Steve, I reckon Tom would be the best company to travel with, he doesn't say much and has a go. I would like to see more of your " bush camps" set up and what has Tom got in that bloody big swag ?
You are absolutely right, Tom is a good bloke. You should see him in a real tough situation, he just gets on with it and doesn't complain. That ‘swag’ is a Military Dive Bag and contains all his worldly possessions.
Great to see Broome from your eyes, spent a few stints at different times in Broome, living and working. I Brought a VTR1000 Honda in the mid 90s, had to get it's first service done in Port Hedland, 20 litre jerry can of fuel on the Ventura rack and off I went, getting 130 klms to the tankful at 200 clicks, even less on the way back at 220 clicks. Great motor but boy did it suck the piss!
Tom is part of a Team employed by Suzukis R & D Department to see if there are any weak points that they need to address. So far, the DR appears up to the task. It’s Tom that appears to be the weak link. 😂😂😂
Wow what a sight Broome is, my cousin and family have a permanent caravan there and they go for a month every June for the last 30 years. Great vision thanks for taking us there, wonderful to see it
This is a great series, Steve. I worked at Goldsworthy for a while. I was saddened to see the beautiful landscape and to know that the town was removed. I rode a little Yamaha 250 all over that landscape. By the way, I asked my local motorcycle shop about that Lynx stuff you use, and they had no idea what I was talking about.
They reckon that anything you take on a trip should have more than one purpose. Lynx has had three uses so far. They could change the name to Lynx Start Ya Bastard for its Aussie customers?
Great video (and series) Steve! Was at Manning Gorge in 2016 - no barrel floats back then, we used an old aluminium punt on a rope pulley system to get across the first creek. As you said, well worth the walk in. We thought it was busy back then, seems to be next level busy now and so many changes. That Lynx got a good multi-use work out on this trip!
Since Covid, a lot of Aussie’s realise what a great country we have. There will be a lot of second hand Vans on the market in a few years. Time to grab a bargain. 😀
Nice ride, glad rthere were no Crocs in the river. Cable Beach is pretty popular gugles advertising. Hope the bloke who escorted you outa town wasn't a cop. Your right about Cable Beach. Gugle is showing adverts for Sunrise and Sunset Boat and Camel Tours 😍, be nice but airfare 🙄. Thanks m8, stay vertical everywhere, except sleepin.
Tom never seems to be fazed by anything going by what I see in your videos. I worked for Cliffs Robe River at Wickham and Roeburne in 77/78. I drove to Broome when the road was just corrugated dirt mixed with iron ore. When I returned the engine, diff and shock absorbers were leaking like a sieve. Broome was totally different then.
More beautiful drone shooting on the beach. Fine work. Thanks for sharing these adventures. It's getting down near freezing here some days, and I've got to be working on the bike while thinking of riding adventures. Thank you for the motivation. :)
Thank you for the trip along the Gibb River my partner and did a portion of south end beautiful but our vehicle not really okay and we had the rest of Australia to do. When we were at kunanurra we went as far as the Pentecost put the front tyres in and said that would have to be our crossing. I had been in Kimberley's before my partner was blown away at the country and beauty thanks for the memories and ride.
Near freezing….bugger that! 😂😂😂 Desert riding season is coming to an end here in Oz. Have to start making plans for next year. So much to do; so little time.
Hi guys, I always want to go to Broome and I want to listen to a song by Neil Murray called good light in Broome on one of my bucket list sounds a bit crazy but that’s the way it is. Keep up the good work guys Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺, I’m on the big island 🏝️
“Beautiful country”. ! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I watch all your videos Steve and really enjoy watching your exploits. Would I want to ride my motorbike through that country. No. My idea of beautiful country is green countryside, rolling hills, comfortable temperatures and interesting towns along the way. I enjoy seeing what that country offers through your eyes, in comfort, preferably with a cold one. Your passion is infectious, you are interesting, capable and very knowledgeable, a person I would want on my side if I were in a jamb. Stay safe mate, I hope you have many more years of the adventures you enjoy.
Yes, pretty much. You don’t have to travel on any unsealed roads to go around Oz. In some places you won’t be on the coastline but not far from it. Grab ya gear; Let’s go!
The road would have been closed long before that and no traffic allowed. The road is closed for many months during the wet season for that reason….water levels and temperatures. A definite no go zone for ill prepared tourists.
It will depend where I’m going and how long (km) the journey is. There is not a lot of tyre support out there with bikes shops every 1,500km or so. It depends on traction verses longevity verses cost verses resupply. If tyre wear becomes an issue I do tend to take a spare with me and swap it out on the fly. I know that’s not the answer you were looking for but tyres are always a compromise. No one tyre will do everything.
Myself and JP use old obsolete Garmin S62 hand helds. Tom has an App on a dedicated phone mounted to his bike…not sure which app. Maybe Oz Explorer or similar. Thanks for watching.
@@mongreldogproductionsit’s quite popular the walking around,, I travel a lot of back roads n see quite a few . I believe it’s one of the original modes of getting around 😅. Another great one mate ,, thanks
2016 BMW R1200 GSA with 150,000 km on the clock. Perfect for Outback travel (IMO) but you need a certain skill set for when you get in to the snotty stuff. Expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and expensive to repair. But for what I do, my weapon of choice. 😀

Love the bush machinis, I will always carry a can of Lynx now. Good to see your sense of humour coming out.
That beach sunset was incredible, Steve! Our hottest town is Needles, California.
Thanks! I love a good beach sunset.
The comment "A long dick drag" bought a tear to my eye. Thanks mate 😂. The BMW sounds back to its glorious best, thanks for dropping the right elbow and giving it its head on the bitumen a couple of times.
I've found myself using the term dick drag since discovering it on this channel. SO fitting for many occasions

Hi Stu, thanks for sharing. This trip was 12 months in the planning. Sometimes, the planning is half the fun and adventure. Thanks for watching.
@@mongreldogproductions My final plan did survive first contact with the enemy, but you do get the occasional Claymore in the distance.
Yes iron ore from Shay Gap to Hedland airstrip close to the original mine has been mothballed until it possibly starts up again in the future.
A good place for railrodders to play in the meantime.
Night fire slo-mo shots are your signature Mr Bly. Love your work. 🍻
Thank you kindly. There’s something about bush camping…that, and the night sky.
Brilliant as ever, well presented, excellent content just wish I could be there. Shows us Pommies what we are missing!
You have a spectacular back yard Steve 🍻

I did that trip in 1976 on my brand new XT500.There was two wheel tracks and no road houses,the only place we could get fuel was Gibb River Stn.

Steve. What make of tyres do you run? The only tyres that were any good on my old BMW K100 RS were Metzeler’s🏴👍
