I am a 75 year old American who just returned from the Flinders, included in my bucket list trip because of you, Brent and it was wonderful. I'm so glad I went. Your videos are exceptional, what I'm aiming for. Thank you!
Hey there... I don't even have to ask how you enjoyed the Flinders.... I don't think anybody could go there and not enjoy that magical place. Did you have a great time? How long were you there? What were you riding? Did you do some of the epic trails?
Nice and heart warming to see the older you get that the love for adventure on bikes never stop,it gives me hope that when i reach your age i would still be able to enjoy the feeling of freadom and wind on your face while doing what you lived for while we were young.Well done Gentleman you give us hope
I almost didn’t go! I made it to Adelaide and was ready to head back to Sydney. I rented a Honda CB300R, a little naked bike, not at all set up for dirt, but then I remembered your comments and thought what the heck, why not, so glad I did. I went up through Hawker, I camped at the G’day campgrounds I think at Merna Mora Station. I rode that Moralana scenic track and several gorge tracks, but I saw the place where you made a video on the track you have to make reservations, Flying Something, I actually went into the office to say hello, I told them they were famous and they brought up your name. They were great! The Flinders was truly one of the great highlights of my trip. I am making CZcams videos of my trip, 6 weeks, 6800kms. I just got back to China yesterday. Your videos are just fantastic! Thank you!
Thanks Brent. Anther amazing trip. I like some others really appreciate all the work and that you are kind enough to share the GPX link with us all. Happy riding.
Thanks Brent. Incredibly good of you to go to the trouble of filming and editing these videos. Then to top it all off, you make the GPX files available - that is next level generosity. I hope Coco is on the mend.
Wow. What an adventure. Beautifully filmed, edited and narrated with useful maps and infographics - it was a pleasure to watch your film. Thank you for sharing this- greetings from Germany, Oliver
Thanks Brent. Such a thoughtfully narrated, well shot, well edited, story. The structure of the journey was punctuated by so many step changes in the landscape...it seemed like we were being swept around one lap of a giant cycle of nature--the Murray watershed. Interesting that it is those uncooperative Northern sand dunes that cause the Wimera River to terminate in the Wiperfeld Lakes; rather that drain into the Murray...as they once did.
I have mentioned this before but your narration and cinematography is incredible. I need to find a way to ride Australia before they take my keys away. But a pass on 66k of deep sand😬. Hope your mate fully recovered from his off.
Finally man !! i was pretty sure that you prepare something awesome , after all those days that you have to upload ... A fan of Greece and T7 lover !! Cheers !!
Amazing Brent. Love your work. Just got back myself riding station roads in Nymagee, Cobar etc, my group got 5 punctures. 3 from fencing nails and 2 from a spoke poking past the rim protection rubber. The Skydio is amazing. I use DJI and hit lots of trees and bushes. Thanks!
So good to see your video after a long time. Keep it coming. Glad Coco is ok. I recently got into an injury off road as well and fractured my spine. Lucky that all is well. Really good video and story telling as always. 😊
Great content as usual. Sorry for the injury to your mate and the bike breakdowns. Although I doubt I will ever get an opportunity to ride in Aus, I appreciate your willingness to share your tracks. I wish more people would do that. Cheers from the US.
Another epic film and trip. A leaking radiator is very common on the 701 and can be easily fixed with JB Weld. Happens typically under the brackets on the top. We fixed one on the last VIC trip and I guess we were near you at the same time with the same problem 😂
Thanks for sharing GPX files. I had mapped out a route along the Murray not along ago for an upcoming tide, your as ridden GPX is really helpful. Loved the vid
As always bloody brilliant Brent, thank you for sharing and how handy was it that KTM living up to its reputation and creating a support vehicle, commiserations to Nick but so good he took on that job instead of just packing up and heading home.
Quality! Thanks for sharing the trip, I got excited to see an update on Mcdonalds Gap track, looks like you will need to go back after the seasonal closures reopen, and have another crack at stage 4😁
Thank you Brent and the guys.. This is high quality viewing. Great content and beautifully filmed. I wish Coco a full and speedy recovery.. and can't help but wonder if the 690 has been traded in. Keep up the great work mate.
Well done , really enjoyed this video , pity about the injury . A fair blessing for having a support vehicle . I was thinking most of the way through it was good to see a video where everyone was riding fairly sensibly and enjoying themselves , unlike a lot of content where guys are riding like they're in a Dakar race . But I understand anything can happen on the dirt .
Yeah, when we ride, we are typically just enjoying ourselves and not racing. Geoff's crash happened because he was a bit close to the bike in front and when that rider had a bit of a slip, geoff grabbed too much brake in response.
Some channels you watch for the crazy riding and this one for the amazing photography! It is just SO good! Great trip, great narration, looks amazing. I just traded my 701 for at T7 on accounts of reliability - and this video has not changed my mind. But then again, Scandinavian riding is much easier, so you don't really need a kitted out 501. Thanks again!
Good onya, Brent. Another great job, of course. I see you are getting a bit "Hollywood" on different aspects of the production..😃 I hope the World Premiere went off without a hitch! And sorry to see you guys had some hurdles...but you handled it all well...Thanks a million for the viewing! This victorian living in Cro really enjoyed it! 😃👍
loved it, better riding then I saw some older blokes doing tonight in OZ, thinking they were younger( very dangerous, no wonder older blokes get killed). After 45 years riding, I still don't do sand, and avoid it at all times. You did the right thing not doing it, riding sand is a very hard thing to learn, and either you have the ability or you don't and I don't.
Great video Brent. I did the Murray Sunset / Milmed Rock track sections over the Anzac Day weekend on the GSA. Tough riding!! Your video was great way to show the Mrs what I was riding through as pictures do not do it justice.
Hey Davey Yes, I did spend weeks planning it, but got a lot of help from locals too. I enjoy the route planning and research, so it's just more fun for me :-)
That was awesome Brent. Funnily enough I was thinking about you a day ago thinking I hadn't had an upload notification for a while and blow me down, what a way to finish a sunday evening. Your drone work is so distinctives and the icing on the videos you produce.
I noticed in the credits Nick had a Brazilian Butt Lift by Contour Clinics and was wondering if you can provide an affiliate link for those of us who want to make enquiries?. Great vid as always, thanks.
Brilliant production. The quality is so good. As good as anything mainstream. Love your work. It must take you days of editing to make these. Thanks for doing it.
Hey Tom, Yes, this was a hot topic amongst the group. Personally I love camping, but it seems that a bunch in the group prefer a hot shower. I am going to do more moto camping this year, even if I have to ride solo.
Fantastic video Brent, as a Mansfield local this is a bucket list ride! Best bit is you have shared the files, makes it easy for me! Unfortunately I have an illness preventing me from riding at the moment but this has inspired me to get well and get out there. Disappointed I didn’t meet you at the pub, maybe next time 😊 cheers
Just had this pop up in my feed, very well put together video. Sand does take some skill to learn, and it is far different from hard pack, throttle and keeping your weight back are your best friends, along with stiffer suspension and lower tyre pressure - for if you ever end up back in that nice soft shit
Great film Brent. I almost wished you had split it into four separate videos so that they would be longer! I wanted more of every section of your great trip. I have done part of the Murray myself (Echuca to Barmah) and it is very pretty country!
I actually like the sand...grew up riding in it.....drop the pressure and sit back, keep the front light and let the bike move under you. Hope the wrist injury works out. Garth
Looks like a lot of fun! You've give me some ideas for my 12,000km ride back through SA with a drop in to Melb before home to Newcastle. Hope your mate gets better quick.
Nice work. FYI you were at the easier end of Milmed Track. The south end is narrower, with two deep sandy wheel ruts. The KTM breakdown was a blessing as you had the support vehicle when needed.
Another great vid mate, stunning drone work (except for HD's crash), and edited like a pro, as you are. The one thing missing was some commentary from HD....lol. And I wish your mate a speedy recovery, that was $hithouse.
Great video great trip Brent done well , just in case you don't know sand isn't that hard with the right technique drop tyre pressures to half of what you run on the road stand on the pegs transfer as much of your weight to the rear ( big arse or belly helps here ) lean back and steady constant power half throttle is usually good in any gear and a light touch on the handle bars let it do what it wants don't try to keep it perfectly millimeter straight only correct it to stay on the track and yes you will weave all over the place in a flowing manner but it is manageable only gets a bit tougher over two metre whoop de doos 50 years ago my mates and I had this sort of stuff to play in on bikes no where near as good as you and your mates have ( read pieces of junk modded road bikes as trail bikes and they were heavy - cb350 twin honda - ) or maybe it was the weight pushing the sand away so we had solid ground again ? who knows but once we figured the best way to ride it then it was great fun yes we still had some offs but much less than any other way of riding the sand that we tried before . Try it see how you go you will be surprised with the difference and maybe enjoy riding sand . cheers
Well produced as always. Love the vibe of your rides and editing. So did the ride end at Mansfield hospital for the rest of the group? Any word on the issue with Nick's 690?
Yes we largely finished the ride there. 3 of the guys rode to Albury and the rest of us trailed the other bikes back there. We’ll have to come and do High Country ride again. Turns out the 690 timing chain had slipped a tooth on the cog and chain tensioner was also not adjusted correctly. All fixed now and running well.
Another thoroughly enjoyable video 😊 Have you ever considered an entry into the adventure film festival? Not only to show your skill, but show off our great diverse country 👍
Once again another great video. I am planning a trip along the Murray river and am wondering how many of the areas and tracks are closed. I have downloaded all your gpx files of the trip and studied them. I am wanting to ride all the tracks I can with as little main roads as possible. Parks Victoria don’t give much detail on what’s open or closed. Any advice would be appreciated.
You are dreaming, the Volga and the Danube are navigable a lot longer than the Murray, the Danube takes freighters for 2411km where they leave onto a canal, by small craft it's about 2800km.
@@brentbat A strange mistake! The Danube takes commercial barges for 2411km from it's mouth to Kelhiem in Bavaria and always has, the upper part is only allowed for non-motorised traffic but depending on water level the whole river is navigable for a bit over 2850km. I've canoed all the upper section and been down the rest in a 35m motor yacht, I worked in a yachtbuilders at km 2409 for seven years and we either delivered down the Danube to the Black Sea or up via the Danube-Main Canal then on to the North Sea in Holland. The Volga is navigable for commercial shipping for 3300km from it's total length of 3531km though presumably the upper part is usable for smalll craft. The Missisippi has been canoed for it's entire length of 4097km a number of times, commercial navigation is about half of that.
I envy your vast landscapes. I am here in Germany and I can only dream of doing such trips. That said, is there a tour operator in Australia who is organising this kind of tours? So maybe I can do it one time not on my own bike, but at least I can do it. :-)

Right up there for me regards channels on ytube
Absolutely beautiful cinematography, clicked just cause I was curious and stayed for the whole thing amazing video 🙌🙌👏
Thank you Brent. As always, you do an exceptional job showcasing your adventures
Thanks Brent. Anther amazing trip. I like some others really appreciate all the work and that you are kind enough to share the GPX link with us all. Happy riding.
Your videos are absolutely the best! Your IDBDR video is what inspired me to buy an adventure bike. Keep up the great work!!
Inspiring to buy a motorcycle - the ultimate compliment!
Thanks Brent. Incredibly good of you to go to the trouble of filming and editing these videos.
Then to top it all off, you make the GPX files available - that is next level generosity.
I hope Coco is on the mend.
Wow. What an adventure. Beautifully filmed, edited and narrated with useful maps and infographics - it was a pleasure to watch your film. Thank you for sharing this- greetings from Germany, Oliver
Thanks Brent.
Such a thoughtfully narrated, well shot, well edited, story.
The structure of the journey was punctuated by so many step changes in the landscape...it seemed like we were being swept around one lap of a giant cycle of nature--the Murray watershed.
Interesting that it is those uncooperative Northern sand dunes that cause the Wimera River to terminate in the Wiperfeld Lakes; rather that drain into the Murray...as they once did.
Amazing, relatable adventure riding, with the downs and ups. Good recovery Coco and thank you Brett and friends for sharing
I have mentioned this before but your narration and cinematography is incredible. I need to find a way to ride Australia before they take my keys away. But a pass on 66k of deep sand😬. Hope your mate fully recovered from his off.

Fabulous story and beautifully captured on film. Your an exceptionally talented guy Brent…thanks for sharing this adventure…
Always brilliant footage Brent.
Sorry to hear that you weren't able to finish it.

Adventure masterpiece as always Brett.
Love this content Brent . Keep them coming… great job
Thank you Brent and the guys.. This is high quality viewing. Great content and beautifully filmed. I wish Coco a full and speedy recovery.. and can't help but wonder if the 690 has been traded in.
Keep up the great work mate.
The 690 lives again to ride another day.
Simply superb! Pure adventure riding, varying terrain and scenery. I look forward to your videos Brent, the overall production is incredible.

Might be the best Vic tourism video ever made. Hope he gets well soon.
Another fantastic trip and production. Thank you, very much enjoyed.
Another awesome ride and cinematic production, Brent. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Brazil.
Congratulations on producing another great video! I wish I was a few decades younger to try a similar ride. 😀
Nice film, Get well soon coco!
Wow Brent, that would be an absolute bucket list, especially for someone living in Vic.
Bloody awesome Brent! You must spend weeks mapping out all those little trails over such a huge distance. Thanks for sharing the ride with us.

I assume you have been to Milmed Rock..... What is it like? I don't think I'll ever get to see it if the track is always that shitful.
fantastic, thank you
Fantastic!
Nice work. FYI you were at the easier end of Milmed Track. The south end is narrower, with two deep sandy wheel ruts. The KTM breakdown was a blessing as you had the support vehicle when needed.
Finally your video.❤
You’ve been quiet. Can’t wait to see this
Awsome Trails Guys. A lot of everything. Bit of a sad ending. Better luck next time eh? Kiaora. Stay upright.

Brent, your videos are simply extraordinary. Incredible footage, wonderful story-telling, and world-class editing. Bravo 👏.
Soooo good
Excellent content as usual,always look forward to your videos. What happened to HDs mighty GSA 1200?!
He's still got the GSA1200, but felt the Husky 501 would be better suited to the sand.

That was a bloody awesome watch, loved it.
What was the problem with ktm?
Timing chain jumped a cog and the timing was out big time.
I must have ammophobia, soon as i hit sand i tense up. I can make small sections of shallow sand look like I'm riding through the sahara.
Anakin Skywalker suffered from Ammophobia lol, should’ve added 2 days and hit the Otways 🤘🏼
