it's the team of Josh and Josh..2 people, not just one beside himself. Great ride, but you still are losing people......Sally is doing great....yes after all that time, the suspension is do for at least a service....throw in a new set of progressive springs and if not doing drop ins or revalve, throw in a heavier oil and a tad more. In the heat you guys ride in, a heavier oil is a must. Thanks again for taking me along. Garth
You guys are likely aware already, bicycle riders who ride zonks hard for hours use carbo gels BEFORE fatigue etc is likely. Hydration stops also key to new punters. Fab vid guys as always. Love your never ending commitment and humor in the face of adversity. True ADV riders.
Billy Goats is one hell of a track... seen a few 4WDs go up it... but watching you and Josh tackle it on bikes is something else.... Great stuff man and thanks for sharing.
Big steep hills here in Vicco. When you look at the tracks on a map it doesnt look far. King Billy is a prime example. Rocks and more rocks. Entertaining commentary as usual. Looks like you broke both of the Josh boys! Good stuff!
Haha, Sally and I had no input in the breaking of riders by the name of Josh. There were a few pep talks given though, and on the side of the track impromptu counselling sessions.
Absolutely, that’s the best way to think about it. Except this one hill in the bush that defeated me recently 😞 but I’ll revisit it and apply my own quote. Lol.
28k km with no service on the suspension and all the flogging you've given it in the simpson and the cape etc. it's just amazing it hasn't failed. springs, revalve and service and you won't know yourself it'll be like a whole new bike.
I know. I’m pretty good with my bike and engine normally, but the suspension I’m just so use to it as it is and never questioned it until this ride. Definitely on the to do list. Just need a sponsor 🤔
@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer would cost around $1k to have it professionally done if you take them the forks and shock. . a bit painful but worth every cent, good thing about the drz is the suspension doesn't need upgrade or replacement, just setting it up for the rider weight and use. that's a whole lot less painful than having to toss junk suspension and replace it or do extensive upgrades.
Lance, search up Jay Foreman, just north of you near Maitland. He's the DRZ Guru for suspension. Uses RG3 components. I know of a few personally, and many many more by reputation and socials that he's done. Used to run race teams running drz's. Champion bloke.
omg man that looks steep on camera so in reality being there it would be steeper. not for me. to old now. but love watching you s doing it. stay safe out there all of yous.
Geeze 6 yrs and haven’t serviced the suspension, I just changed my fork oil after 1yr 98hrs and 7000 kms and it was thick shit compared to new oil, also got the rear oil changed at the same time as I added an xtrig preload adjuster so the shock needed to be degassed to fit it anyway
Oh. O, at this stage it seems like josh_jb’s footage is gone and he can’t add to the trip. Although there’s some freedom in not having to record the trip anymore and just have fun and enjoy the trip. I watched aus moto’s video wrong, I thought you guys parked up at the helipad at the base of Billy goat and he tried to ride up but then came back and by the time he reached the helipad you two had left. The benefit of watching multiple channels to build the same story. Nice work man epic trip
Josh will have videos up for the first two days, I think he is doing a voice over. This Sunday it will be uploaded. Yeah we all rode together but just didn’t make the end of it together.
@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer sorry buddy I must have gotten excited. What I was going to say was that I enjoyed the footage so much I would love to see the unedited footage straight out of the camera.
Awesome ride and videos, mate! I've done this track last year on my DDX. If I'd knew this track i would never commit to it😂 .... but i didn't... Anyways, here is the video for it: th-cam.com/video/d47NPHBpu38/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AoRM65iLWpKu8ZrC

It's amazing how you can lose your mojo sometimes and it takes a bit of riding to just get your confidence and the feeling back.
Always love your positive attitude in these videos! Just a good vibe; keep up the good work. Cheers from California!
good man thanks for being patient with the young fellas.

30:00 the rock formation is from glacial activity. I believe they call it a Moraine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraine
Thanks mate. Josh and I are useless with any real facts. Beauty.

Another excellent episode mate!
The mighty DR-Zeds have served you boys well!
Shame you didn't make it all the way up... better to be safe than sorry though... glad you're ok.
Mate you were so close. So so close. Still a great effort. You gave us some awesome tracks to do👍
I’m now hungry as ever to conquer it, hopefully soon!
Billy Goats is one hell of a track... seen a few 4WDs go up it... but watching you and Josh tackle it on bikes is something else.... Great stuff man and thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate. Yeah it changes each year. I’d be keen to go back and see how quick I can get up it without stopping.
@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer 17 minutes you need to beat ;)
@@Nerb1 haha if I lived local I’d be there tomorrow. You would have done it on a big bike too though I reckon. Crazy.

Bloody awesome, well done fellas
Another awesome video Lance, I just love your enthusiasm. Quote of the day has to be “it’s just a hill in the bush” 😂

@@timdudeney5072 thanks for the heads up. But I have already sent mine away to be serviced. I’ll keep him in mind for next time for sure 👍
the rock is for water management I'd say 😊
awesome

@@CaravaningaroundAustralia ahh that makes a bit more sense. You’d just get me swearing my head off and or singing to myself. Lol.
Did you put that old oil back in the bike???!
We already had a spare bottle each. So we did replace it. But kept the old oil as a back up for later in the trip should we need it.

I’ll have to suss it out later tonight. Always fun watching others give it a crack.
Ok… Fatiguing, muscle cramping, loss of concentration,can be signs for other medical issues. Josh B… go get checked out
GoPro’s are overrated
Yep, at times they can be a punish.
So are you
