Epic trip and fabulous footage, including the drone tracking shots. And all within a couple of hours of Sydney.
Want some good Aux lights out that way at night. Was on a group ride there last year as sweep. A guy split his tyre at Gurnang and we spent 2 hours patching it up so he could ride out. Didn't get moving again until just before dark and had to put his bike back to Goulburn. Dodging many roos, wallabys and foxes on the way. Time for some offroad tyres, and more importantly, offroad boots! Lucky the damage was minimal!
Thanks mate, I've got both since then (boots and tyres). It's a surprisingly isolated and dark part of the world, that's for sure.
Just found your channel, enjoyed this one , i will subscribe and search for more from you, Enjoying the Tiger?
Loving the Tiger! Been tempted sometimes by a small lighter bike, but with the big distances we have to do in Australia it really is nice having a mid-sized bike that can cover the miles in comfort
how do U get the 1.2.5 version of the My Triumph app? I can't find it on the WWW. I'll send you all my money.
“How’s the serenity? So much serenity” 😊
Mate I was thinking it the whole time…
Good looking ride.Cheers.
Thanks mate!
Love these videos. Keep them coming!
Cheers mate, I will! :-)
Good to see you back, it's been a while. That's a nice route, I will have to add that one to the list. Preferably when its dry, as it looked like it would be very slick in the wet!
Thanks mate! Definitely has been a while, cold winter and rainy autumn slowed things down a bit. It’s a nice easy run, a bit greasy in a few sections but well worth the trip. Whole area would be good to explore.
It seems that your engine guard buckled a bit, it looks just like mine after a fall where it bent inwards towards the engine a bit. But I am glad you and your bike are OK. Well, it's not a real horseman if it hadn't fallen from a horse mate; keep riding.
Thanks mate, I’ll have a closer look tomorrow! Either way my knee is fully repaired, hopefully stays that way
Great ride I will have a go this weekend, thanks mate for the inspiration
Thanks mate
Amazing I will look into doing this run
You'll enjoy it especially Wild Cattle Creek Rd. Pretty remote that bit
@@australianadv yeah that feeling is great but also a bit scarry, we all have those moments, I was pin down under a 800 gs and barely got out, since then dowgrade to a 300L and loving it for the solo runs
Mate pretty shitty example to set riding those twisties using the whole road as you saw fit atwhatever speed you were doing. If you can't stay in your own lane you are riding outside your capabilities and showing you don't give a fuck about anyone else on the road.
Thanks mate, never bothered using it for obvious reasons - might give it another go now. Cheers 🍻
Hope it helps
im glad i watched your video you have given me a nice day trip i live about 1/2 hour from mittagong and i hope you have changed your tyres to ones that are better suited for off road keep the videos coming there good to watch
cheers mate appreciate that. I switched to Continental TKC80s and they are great
Peccato per me stavo cercando questo video specifico per la mia Tiger ma non parlo inglese e quindi capisco solo qualcosa ma non tutto. Che rabbia
Sfida accettata! Ho usato l'intelligenza artificiale per generare i sottotitoli italiani (e questo commento). Non ho idea di quanto sia accurato, ma forse aiuta?
Ugh y
Yeah a bit of a faff
Good info
Thanks
It was great to see the Bridle Track open again and to see it from a bikes view. It has been a long time since I was there last (45 years), and I was interested in seeing the bypass. It's great, but nothing like the old track. It was really impressive, very narrow and steep. Cheers
Thanks mate, it would have been great to see the original track.
Um, as a local it is Bull e o. Not rhyming with Jullio. Just in case no one has mentioned this ....From Yerranderie east to the west side of Warragamba dam is not open to the public, is gated/signposted and striclty off limits to public access and if you are caught there - very heavy fines. In the vicinity of tens of thousands of dollars. Sydney Water use trail cameras a lot and have rangers. Any roads on the map that start with a W are Sydney Water - old MWSD&B roads. Yerranderie is one way in and same way back out. Google maps shouldn't be used for these areas - or check and then double check. Same coming in from the Oaks side. No access. The long way around. Anywhere near water storage around Sydney, Illawarra and Central Coast the tracks are off limits - for very good reason.
Good to know. I wonder why it’s call Bullio?
Hi, we're planning on doing this route soon. How long did it take you on the off road section? Cheers for the video👍👍
I think around 2-3 hours. Really depends how fast you’re comfortable riding but it wasn’t too rough. There was a lot of road work at the eastern end, it’s possible the off-road section is shrinking.
@@australianadv cheers👍👍
Unfortunately it's still at working for me
Sorry to hear that. Not sure if things have changed since I first posted the video but at the time if you follow those steps exactly it would work.
Expected to hear you say “Bash Guard” and was surprised to hear “skid plate”. Enjoyed the video, ,thanks for sharing.
😂 not sure what it’s called but at least I think we’re talking about the same thing
Really good mate 👍
Thanks mate!
Do you feel like this is in any way more useful than using Beeline or a Zumo XT? Obviously those are external devices, but the amount of hassle with the pairing and the app leaves me pretty discouraged. Thanks for making this video, though. I was beginning to think I was technically deficient. 😂
It’s not as useful as an external device, and I usually just mount my phone on the bars and use that for navigation. It looks nice when I can be bothered to put though. Also handy on dirt where the vibrations can damage phone camera if it’s on a mount.
Thanks for this. Can you tell me if once connected to your phone is the speed limit applicable to the road you’re riding on is shown on the TFT as it does in my BMW app. ?
I don’t think it shows speed
About an hour in the weekend trying to get it connected with no luck …. Found your video…. Connected in 5 mins!! Thanks heaps!!!
How long is it in ks Sadly, I can only manage around 150K.
At a very rough guess I would say it’s about 75 km from Bathurst to Hill End via the Bridle track. Only problem is I’m not sure how easy it is to get fuel in Hill End, you might need to go further on to find fuel.
This doesn’t seem to work on the 2024 Tiger. I can get it to pair the phone part, but the navigation bit never prompts for a pair. Sitting on the main screen that the bike starts up with or any other menus, it would seem. Im running the newest version of the software also 1.2.10
That’s a shame, I would have thought they’d have fixed it on the new interface. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the new model so can’t troubleshoot, but if anyone reads this comment and has any tips please let us all know.
Great video. Greetings from Brazil! How many liters is this yellow bag?
66 litres. Highly recommend it.
@@australianadv I've just got a 60l, was afraid to be too large on the sides. After see your video, I'm not afraid anymore. Same bike, same bag. We're good taste man's. 😅 Keep riding, my fried!
Some people just have it😌
Great video. And your slow motion showing the reaction of the suspension is extremely useful. I have a 2024 Triumph Tiger GT900 Aragon, which I love riding, but our roads in rural Kent, UK are awful, patches of missing top layer Tarmac, with the odd pothole. That I almost feel like an off-road front suspension setup would be more useful.?? With your much appreciated experience of rough roads, can you correct my thinking please. I'm thinking I need a Soft damping to take the initial shock of a Tarmac edge of avg 40mm , but I'd prefer not to have too much bounce. Am I looking at a 15 damping and a 10 rebound, only I don't want to loose stability. Your thoughts would be much appreciated, I fully respect there are variables to consider. Thank you. Best regards Pete
Hi mate, glad it was helpful. I would keep the rebound and compression settings the same unless you’re carrying extra weight on the back of the bike. The lower the rebound and compression settings (the higher the number of clicks anticlockwise), the softer and more comfortable the ride will be, but the worse the handling and nose dive on braking. If I’m on a long ride, even if the roads not particularly bumpy I will often have it down to 15 and 15 which just takes a lot of the vibration out of the handlebars and makes the whole ride more comfortable. Unless it’s really spirited riding I don’t mind the slight loss in handling.
Great ride mate! Thanks again for posting... Yeah the brown snakes can go you for sure. He was thinking about it cause he flattened his head for a few seconds before he moved on. I haven't been chased by one but suspect he would have caught you in your heavy boots and riding gear, so good move staying still...
Absolutely, you have to respect them. They could mess up your day more than pretty much any accident.
Great ride mate! The Tiger is a lotta bike to wrestle on those roads and you did well not to drop her. I have an F850 GS and look like I have 20+ years on you, and am looking at getting something smaller and lighter so I can enjoy Sydney's backyard more. Thanks for sharing and for showing your route at the beginning of the vid...
Thanks for the comments, appreciate the feedback :-) I reckon the 850 GS is pretty similar to the tiger 900. Amazing bikes for getting to the trails, but definitely on the heavier side once you get there. Perfectly fine if you pick your trails right and don’t push the limits, and as an all round package pretty close to perfect. I do get tempted occasionally for a lighter ride, but don’t want something so light that you need to trailer it out there. Pretty happy with the tiger 900 :-)
@@australianadv Yeah that's the trick when living in the city isn't it? Small enough to ride on the rough stuff and fast enough to get you there. You want the dirt to be the most exciting part of the ride, not the highway...!
Another fine example of ADV riders cashing out an injuring themselves seriously, relying on helicopters and such, and also relying on "luck". A blown knee joint, ligament, tendon whatever...then you talk lightly about getting out again once its healed.....this is terrible example of motorcycling. Many many mistakes led to this near disaster....many lessons "learned" maybe....Tune in to AReimann1 fellas and learn before you head out, the do's and dont's .....
I’m sure Adam Riemann has had plenty of crashes himself, and luck would have played a part in the outcome of all of them. Motorcycling is a dangerous activity, but so is life, and they are plenty of less interesting ways you can be a burden on society.
@@australianadv Pure nonsense, a rider in complete denial over his head. Adam most certainly has had crashes, no where in my comment did I suggest otherwise. What I did suggest was that this new adv market has attracted an alarming number of riders going out on heavy bikes and hurting themselves badly, having to close roads, and require helicopter rescues...over and over....and over again. It was not an odd observation that you made on that one single day, passing a rider on the exact same bike crashing badly...like you did....on a flat road. Adam crashes jumping logs, racing at extreme speeds, competing etc. And even then the rate of crashes you would see at your local track is "without a doubt' less than the current rate of adv riders crashing out, dropping, endlessly, repeatedly, and hurting themselves inevtitably...as you said. To suggest in your comment that I need to be informed that motorcycling is dangerous etc etc, is a repeated comment pulled from the great book of motorcycling myths. Riding a hourse is dangerous, so is hiking in the mountains...so is ice hockey, and rugby. The point your missing in my contribution to your crash and injury video, is that if you learn from Adam instead of from nearly breaking your knee in half, that would be a better approach. Yes motorcycling in dangerous....duh.....but if you listen to Adam you would learn that intellectually, they are not dangerous...if you apply more thought, and less experimenting and learning from your mistakes attitude, all that will ever get you is an injury...that you may not ever recover from....whether its psychologically or physically. I say this not as grumpy comment, but as an experienced, championed, veteran off road and on road rider since 1979 to today, and spent 10 years as an actually certified instructor I ride two bikes, and have not crashed, dropped, or had to learn from an injury since I was in my 20's and I am 60. T7 and DRZE....simple as that. You can take my comment for what it is.....I have a slight limp stemming from a minor knee injury when I was mid 20's, my physiotherpist at the time predicted that limp, and low and behold it was true. Remind yourself mate, that injuries are permanent...and crashes need to be avoided at all costs.....ADV riders are showing a poor attitude, and take crashing...and the crashbar phenomena a little too lightly. Note on Adams bikes....no crash bars...and no bark busters....etc Because he knows they are not a good idea, and not needed. Crash bars, and bark busters...actually make injury risk go up...if you "think" about it.....Your welcome from Canada...good luck with your dangerous experiment.
I love your passion, and I’m sure it comes from a good place. I’ll take your advice and be more careful.
Great series of your trip. As a new 900RP owner its great to see how capable the bike is and thanks for sharing it.
Glad you liked it, it’s one of the best trips I’ve done.
Very usefull. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
What is a click? What is 1 click? Is it 360 degrees rotation aka a full single rotation? Or there's some magical sound while rotating it and we need to count how many times it clicks?
It’s a click that you can feel and hear. Less than a full rotation. Very easy to tell how many clicks when you’re actually doing it.
@lianadv thank you for the explanation. I only ordered the bike and waiting for the delivery, so couldn't go and try myself if there's sound.
Great set of videos , me and the wife are doing a similar route in April , did you carry cash mainly I’ve heard that’s the thing to do ! And did you purchase a Moroccan SIM card! Thanks in advance
Two good questions! Yes, you have to have cash, 99% of shops don’t have card facilities. Even petrol stations is usually a guy with a fistful of dirhams. I’d recommend keeping around 2000 dirhams on you so you don’t have to keep hunting ATMs. I bought a Moroccan sim with a provider called Inwi at Marrakesh airport before leaving the airport. Once you exit airport you can’t go back in so don’t forget to buy before exiting. It was 200 diham (20 euros) for 20gb data for 1 month.
Brilliant thanks for the info ! That’s a great help 👍🏻
Out of 5 this is about 4 stars more than I was expecting 😂😅 comic gold
lol yes he’s a funny bugger, my brother :-)
how much was your insurance for the bikes? Loving the videos!
Thanks mate, appreciate it. I paid $475 for annual insurance last October. Don’t remind me!
Is this just an iPhone issue? Or Android as well?
Just iPhone. It works fine in android apparently. Something to do with iPhone using two separate Bluetooth channels for voice and navigation.
looks a superb event - will need to get up there in 2024
The rally was well organised and great value for two days. Hoping to go again in 2024
Would the fully clockwise be good for sporty riding?
Yes, fully clockwise would be the sportiest, but the road would have to be really smooth and perfect. 3 clicks back from full clockwise is still nice and sporty but has a bit more tolerance for road imperfections.
It was a pleasure to join you on your exciting adventure. I did find it confusing though with the random animation of your maps without any indicators as to where you were/were going.
Good to know, thanks for the feedback. I’ll do better next time!
I need some advise can you also hire scooter 🛵
I think Tenere Riders mainly does Adventure Bikes, but I saw lots of tourists on scooters so there must be plenty of rentals available
Great adventure thanks for taking us along. Pleasure to watch your narration 🏆
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video followed it to the letter still no connection.........its driving me insane!
Ah sorry to hear that. I’m not sure why it’s not working, but I haven’t checked on the latest version of the app so maybe they broke something else.
Thank you for this superb sharing of trail adventure! Very nice track with a variety of landscapes and surfaces. And the Tiger 900 RP seems totally at ease in this type of driving. In France, it's winter at the moment, cold with a little snow and ice. Looking forward to receiving my 2024 Tiger 900 RP in the spring and restarting off-road trips with friends.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the comment! I would like to ride in France one day, I have heard that there are some good off-road sections on the TET.
@@australianadv: you are welcome! Definitely France is a great place for bike off-roading with a variety of landscapes (high mountains like the Alps, the Pyrenees, Corsica, plains, agricultural area, seaside,...), surfaces (rocks, mud, gravel, forest track , sand, snow and ice for the bravest and equipped for it), places to bivouac without danger (little risk of dangerous animals or insects like in Australia), regions full of superb little villages and heritage historic and great food everywhere! You can even make multi-country trips with our common borders with Italy and Spain. And apart from in summer where it can sometimes be hot (35 to 40 degrees Celsius), it remains bearable and manageable. And peaks at 50 degrees, it's in summer and in the southern part and because there can be hot wind from North Africa. Certain areas may be closed during the forest fire period. And overall you can ride all year round except when it's raining too much, cold and it gets muddy everywhere (not impossible but more pain than pleasure). Australia is also a dream for bikers, as we can see in your video but the conditions can be more extreme regarding weather & wildlife, distance with inhabited areas.
The gate to Warragamba was locked because of those wretched bearded Presbyterian’s
