- 1st ride of the year 2024 skirting the Barrington Tops National Park everything went downhill quickly as a content creator drone failed controller turned off in-flight memory cards needed reformatting dropped bike lost my nerves skidded off the road lost loads off footage but was way better than a day at work no winging.
Great video. So envious of the trails and dirt roads you guys have there.
very nice way to start the year Markus! Really enjoyed the aerial shots and the garmin update. everybody has to practice picking up their bike well done it looked bloody hot and heavy!!
Was hot stano just a short ride to iron out a few things before the big ride early feb glad you liked
Great video mate, love your work Marky gotta catch up again
Mate your videos are the best really enjoy watching
Comments like that legend keep you going cheers for watching
Good to ear how easy the Garmin works. Mine should be in this week, and I cant wait!
You will love it
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful landscape. You r country are Amazing....
G Day Mate 👍👍👍
How funny G Day mate we say that daily to everyone cheers legend glad you liked
@throttleridingadventures I go few time in Australia... that the first thing a learn...is this expression...G Day Mate 👍
Great shot over the bridge 👍
Lovely video mate, I have subscribed.
Great video 😀
Great video. Nice scenery with you and jealous of the heat (I’m in a cold, damp London). Felt for you lifting the bike. I’ve gone for a 690 for 55kg less although less comfort too I guess. My next purchase is an XT2. Looks good.
Thanks for watching ian you wont be disappointed in the xt2 for us dirt toad users its gold .Stick around for tge next upload off to a ghost town next month
@@throttleridingadventures Love the countryside so I’ll look out for the next one. The XT2 will be procured. Its first outing will be in the US in May for a 4,000 mile ride over three weeks with an old buddy who lives there. He’s got the comfort of a Tiger 900 but it’s a heavy thing. He’s got height and weight on his side. I’m just north of 70kg and in dire need of some training both fitness and riding. We’re aiming to post our trip so I’ll give the XT and 690 a review as we go. Cheers, Ian
@@ianross225 tag me when you upload ide love to see it ...i loved my tiger 800 had it for 5 years it was awsome sold it to finish our new home i built at the time stay safe and keep uprith on your ride
@@throttleridingadventures I don’t like the vibration from the odd crank phasing. The earlier triples were 120 degree and smooth. Also a bit top heavy for me but, of course, age plays its part. Absolutely will do!
Did you say those were BATS!?? They are huge if so. Hey I have the standard XT and love it. Very reliable. I think the best thing is it doesn't leach off the battery. On my T7 I wired it straight to the battery just to see what would happen. I left it on the mount for 2 weeks and never started the bike. When I finally went out to start the bike, it fired up no problem. That proved to me that the GARMIN wouldn't drain my battery if left on the mount when hot wired.
Lol fruit bats they are big hey .... awsome about the no battery drainage was going to rest that exact theory cheers for yhat
@@throttleridingadventures 😳yeah they are huge. No problem, i know the KTM comes with a switched set of wires, which is what I used on my 1290 SA-R. Too many electronics to mess with on that bike so I figured it was safer on the T7 to experiment with.
Man down! It happens to the best of us.
Did you cut out the full send through the creek? 😅
Some nice drone shots 👍
Had a shocker of a day i must of hit camera mode instead of vid i didnt get most of the ride from gresford to lostock ....drones conroller froz then turned off in flight
@@throttleridingadventures I'm sure that was a nervous moment.
I went out yesterday with my two batteries near empty 🙄.
At least I got to capture the real reaction of the new ECU.
Bloody nice run mate, never knew about that bridge, very keen to check that out! How deep was the water crossing?
800mm or so in the middle outer edge 300 to 400mm ....was very cool
@@throttleridingadventures Nice!!! I'll have to go check that out in due course!
Worth the look 100% awsome ride that loop
What tires are you using and do you like them?
Bald rallz new rear tyre after that run
Wasn’t there a young fella (quite a handsome young chap) around the campfire a few videos ago with a chin mount GoPro? Thought you mocked him for the idea of it being more stable… perhaps like a natural gimbal hmmm.
If that big 790 is too much I’ll swap you for my 390 mate, bit easier to pick up and little lower too.
Your funny you would handle the big girl i dropped it to make you feel better
@@throttleridingadventures thanks mate, keep up the good work.
#966 Very nice video
Cheers mate not to bad for a shit of a day cheers for possitive comment
Maybe time for a 690
Lol or longer legs road cambered off on left .....ive been looking at the 701 and 690 now for about 12months having trouble cutting the cord to the 790 i just love the thing ..when its time to let go the 690 or 701 will be the next bike a 701 came up recently it had all the trimings on it if it was closer i would of taken it for a spin 100% and 790 would be retired cheers for watching
@@throttleridingadventures i am 60 years with short legs just brought a new 690 and got it professionally lowered waiting for my Lynx fairing to arrive which will make it alot better on longer trips,
@@jackchristodoulou197 awsome love to check it out sometime
