Just completed a byron bay to steep point via flinders ranges due to the Simpson being flooded on my drz400. I put an Anderson plug on my battery externally, mounted a bracket on the helmet locking thing. So I didn’t have to take it apart to access the battery to jump start. I cut the alligator clips off the jump pack. Made it easy to start when my battery died. Just a tip. Enjoy the trip.
cleaver young fella , able to do all your own mechanicals .... best of luck for your trip with Lance. ..... hanging out for the trip videos !
Thanks mate. Always willing to give things a crack and learn how to do it myself. 👍🏼
We ran pool filter skins over the air filters up there. Quick, cheap and easy to rip one of every couple of days and replace with a new one. Enjoy the trip. It is a fantastic one.
Good, I’m glad you took the oil. Video evidence doesn’t lie lol. See you up north soon buddy.
It’s actually just full of alcohol 👀 😂
Guys, i am soooooo looking forward for the video's!!!
Great job Josh, can't wait for the videos. and all the best. Dunlop D606 are great, a bit noisy on the highway but great off road. After 5000klms your front will wear the knobs back on an angle. Best of luck 👍🍻
The side stand switch is a pain in the ass on the 300 rally too.
Hey guys, did the ride Oct last year. Was awesome. Take chain lube. Good luck.
Thanks mate 😁
4:34 seal is on the ground right between your arms underneath your hands.
Wow! Good spotting! I did not even notice that. Well I guess that solves it 😂
Love the videos Josh, keep ‘‘em coming. Going to be an epic trip fellas, you will have a ball.
good luck on your adventure
Good luck, its crazy up there at the moment.
what a great video mate !!! thanks for sharing all these details with us
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Awesome vid. the solarbattery pack for small charging. Not the jump start pack. Cost in that one
Im so jealous...did a partial ride through the Daintree but had the wrong bike ....looking forward to seeing how you go..cheers.
Sounds like a good excuse to go again mate 👍🏼. Thanks for watching
Can’t wait for the videos
An awesomely neat bike. Looking forward to your trip's video.
Thanks mate. I try to keep her shining!
Yewwwww! Can't wait
Frothing ❤
great prep work looks like you have most things covered , would be easier if you had the same bike as your riding partner , not duplicating parts etc...he has a DR Zed and you have a DR Zee....American and Australian hopefully similar parts
😂😂 good one mate
Love how the number plate just happened to have folded/ bent perfectly underneath 😂
Loving ur vids Josh! 🙏 went to Ormeau Hills yesterday and bummed it’s closed at all ends. Heading to Glassy today. Curious how that powerbank/ jump start gadget went? Looks like a beast. 👍 I’m testing an air inflator / powerbank myself.
Thanks mate
That’s a shame, even off Upper Ormeau rd? I haven’t been up there in 6 months or so. The power bank in the tank bag went ok but I’m yet to find one that works really well. They get beat up from all the bouncing around on a bike. The jump start pack I have separately always works well. Didn’t need to use it on this trip luckily enough 👍🏼
@@_JoshJB_ yeah m8, both entrances, noticed someone may have moved a large rock intentionally near the upper Ormeau Rd entrance… 🤔… I ended up finding a decent track out of one of the new estates nearby, got my fix 👌
@@_JoshJB_ btw glassy to Woodford then d’aguilar trails was a top ride, a tonne of side tracks glassy to Woodford Rd too. Might go spend a few days there soon to explore more
Hi Josh, hope you have a great hassle free trip. What brand is the side stand plate and did you have to modify the stand to get it to fit? I'm having trouble sourcing one that doesn't require modding the stand.
Hey, just wondering what navigation system you are using and do you recommend it? Do you have your eyes on any other models?
Cheers thanks for the awesome videos!
Josh what type of glue did you use for the case savers?? I've got B&B off road stainless covers and not sure what to use...cheers
Hey mate
I can’t remember exactly what brand but it’s just some heat resistant silicone I got from Bunnings
Did you reroute two carby breathers up under the fuel tank to stop the engine missing going through water
Yea mate I done that a few years back after my first deep crossing and wondering what the heck is going on 😂
Insect spray!!!!!!! Don’t forget the aerogard cob 👊🏾👊🏾
Good tip!
good luck dream mish.... whats ya chair?
Hey Josh, forgive me if you have already mentioned this, but just wondering if your sleeping mat is regular or large size?
Hi Josh
Got myself a DRZ and was looking at your Kriega bag review
In the first video you used three 12 Lt bags two on the sides and one on top
When you set your bike up to do the Cape trip did you use two 18 Lt bags on the sides ?
That's correct mate. I did the same for my Simpson desert trip as well. For those longer adventures I find I need a little bit of extra space.
Hey dude. Good amount of prep! What gearing (sprockets) do you run when you're doing your big trips?
I use 15-44 all round. I find it’s a good combination for everything I need to do.
@@_JoshJB_ Ah, okay. I ran 15-44 on mine for a bit but burned through my clutch pretty fast in a day of single-track... I found 14-44 or 15-47 to be a good all-rounder, but it still got real vibey up around 120km/h
Just wondering about your seat. Do you like it and where did you get it done
Yea it’s pretty decent. It’s a seat concepts comfort seat.
Hey mate looking the goods did you go for ultra heavy duty tubes after the Simpson? Enjoying the channel
Yea mate I always run the UHD tubes 👍🏼
Standard ones for the spares to save a little space and weight
Great job, looks great. Is 130 rear tyre standard size?
120 is standard
@@_JoshJB_ fits no probs? (Think I'll do that next time 🤔😀)
@@darrynellis2709 yea it fits easy 👍🏼
should've taken a Harley D, good luck
What’s your front fender off mate
It’s an RM fender 👍🏼
Just curious if u have an idea how much all the gear weighs?
I tried weighing it all for the video but my scales weren’t playing ball. I did weigh it all once boxed up. 8kg for the riding gear box. 27kg for the other. That’s including the 3 Kriega bags, tank bag and fender tool bag. It all adds up quick!
@@_JoshJB_ sure does. When u think about what u have though that’s pretty light though.
Hi how come you had two different number plates with totally different details on them? Here in the UK you get one plate and that's it for life unless you purchase a private plate. I'm confused!
everytime a vehicle is registered it gets a number plate so if you change states and register it in a different state you'll get a new number plate. if the vehicle is unregistered for 3 months it has to be reregistered and you get a new plate. you can also just pat a fee and change the plates and register a vehicle with new plates. it makes no difference as your name and vehicle details are tied to the number plate immediately at issue. the police have cameras that read the plate and all that info comes up on their screen.
@@6226superhurricaneFair enough, it seems a bit of a farce having to do all that but if that's the process, then that's the process. Thankfully we don't have to change our plates here in the UK when travelling between County's or even Country's. 👍
@@701Adventures you only change plates if you move to another state and live there. the only other time you'd have to change plates is if you let the vehicle sit unregistered too long at that stage it needs to be reregistered and and a new plate is issued.
so a vehicle can have the same plate forever.
Hey mate
I only got a new number plate as my one was damaged from off-road abuse. If I wanted the same combination I would of had to order it and wait. It was easier to just get a replacement with a different combination.
Just look out for idiot car drivers on your travels Josh.
Thanks mate, will do. 👍🏼
doubt it make it
looks too clapped out to make it
You look a bit clapped out yourself
@@Thunder-cx4yq dont be so idiots
