- Now over 10'000km into the journey through central Australia, I'm pushing my old XRV750 through problem after problem in the middle of the Great Sandy and Gibson desert.
In this, episode 6, I'm on a mission to get across the Northern Territory and begin the longest, most remote section of Western Australia ... crossing through the Gibson Desert.

Riemann, I have watched all of your world travels, but none of them have come close to this trip. You are an amazing camera man and a legend of a bike rider. Thank you.
I couldn’t say it better myself! That scene where Adam removed his goggles and we got to look into the legends eyes for a short time was one of my favourite scenes! So many emotions running wild in my mind watching this episode! This was better entertainment than Hollywood could ever produce.
Great job mate, you never know til you walk a mile in my shoes, or ride a motorcycle RTW. So true. Warhorse is holding up just as it should, tough as nails. Very good cinematography.
@@mjfalcon007 Like an astronaut travelling through space towards the sun on his spaceship.
@@prabal19 Except this is reality and more entertaining IMO 😂
@@mjfalcon007 Shure 😀
Easy to forget you don't have a complete camera crew with you whilst the complete mechanic crew is keeping your bike in tippity top shape. Awesome, mate. Inspirational.
The production levels on this is insane. No wonder no-one watches regular TV anymore. Thank you Adam
Adam, this whole epic adventure should be nominated for an AACTA Awards........it really is to a high quality industry standard.
I didn't/don't want this to end.
"If you move through the world with good intentions, the world will move for you". Words to emulate and live by Adam. You are indeed a gifted story teller and film maker mate. 👍
Amazing series Adam. Between the storytelling, epic landscapes, drone shots, bike challenges.. The phone call with your kid(s) at that fuel station got to me. It's easy to go on a multi week trip. It's not easy for your family. That short moment in this 45 minute film humbled me.
Couldn't have said it better. Honestly best bike series/filmI've ever watched. Simply inspiring.
26:40 to 27:25 is some of the best framed adv riding anyone has ever done, well done Adam
Epic. A missused word but perfectly fine here. Cheers from Sweden!
Those drone shots, just puts into perspective how massive Australia is and how remote you where. Awesome as always.
Every episode of this series has been epic. I can’t believe we get to watch it for free.
Adam, what a chapter mate, best one yet, I was really moved by that. The epic story of the Warhorse continues & while we all admire your adventure riding feats mate you’re as incredible a filmmaker…thank you Adam so good 🙏
Thank you. Grateful for the channel support too, I really appreciate it.
Showing us the dignity of living a dream with all of it's ups and downs - the charm of life "Grab, live, ride".
Thank you Adam - inspiration for what a man is meant to be.
Respect 🙏
As a father I felt the pull on my heart strings when you spoke to your daughter. I hope at some point in my life I’ll be able to pull off something as incredible as this journey. It’s difficult to carve out that time away from the family flow. Love your content brother, keep up the great work.
Bloody sensational Adam! I've got no idea how you're editing these incredible videos and posting them as you take us through this journey with the War Horse but man you've definitely got me hooked on each episode mate! Good troubleshooting of the issues and overcoming them as best you can, as a mechanic I try to imagine myself in your shoes and what I would do. Thanks heaps brother, proud to be a supporter of Motology Films. Stay safe and I hope you get to see your family soon. Over and out. 👍👏👏👏😎🇦🇺🍾🍷🥃🍻
Even here on the other side of the world in Germany I can here the sound of the warhorse flying through the desert. Adam you are such a cool dude! Thank you for this epic Story.
das geht uns ganz genau so!
Haha same! Inspiring me to do a trip round Europe
Epic, absolutely epic. Just don't want this series to end, bloody amazing Adam.
Rest easy Adam. No haters in the comments only a world of admiration for what you are doing. Thanks for inviting us along for the ride.
Impressive riding! Those drone shots with the cloud of dust behind the WarHorse are amazing. They reminded me of some Dakar and Baja's helicopter shots!
Loving this series!
Poet...who would’ve thought a biker could be such a great philosopher...great advice Adam ride on be safe 😊
What a legend this man. I've stumbled across your channel and have been watching every trip you did all back to back. I feel like i'm missing out on a different aspect of beeing a rider. I'll need to learn to ride off-road on a motorcycle but seeing these amazing films for the past several days gave me the feeling that if i don't do this, i'll forever regret it. Thank you Adam, for making me realise there's more to life then riding boring asphalt itinerary trips. Much love, from Belgium
“I’ll fire up the warhorse & show him who’s boss”… chomps a mouthful of his WA sized loaf…. Then that boot stomp of the switch. Yes! 😂 And finally solid words of wisdom at the end. All of it, priceless mate. Thank you.
Adam, I discovered you when I bought my rd04 in December 2022, looking for information about the motorcycle, I saw your videos and I was hooked on your work, what you do is incredible.
How you disassemble and fix the motorcycle in the middle of nowhere, you are a true mad max man.
If you want to one day do the Paris Dakar with a RD04, you have mine to give you the adventure that I will never be able to, that is, if you have to come look for it in Galicia in Spain, it is the only requirement.
Greetings and waiting for the next chapter.
What a ride! What a landscape! What a film! Wise words! Thanks for your inspiration, Günter/Nürnberg, Germany
Wow!! Love seeing this pop up on a Sunday morning here in the UK. Sorted! 👏👏👏
Same,
Coffee, toast and warhorse!
These clips should be edited into a feature film and played on movie theaters 👌
Sitting here in Canada watching this, both me and my 2020 Africa Twin are amazed, awed, and a little jealous of your ridiculously huge brass appendages! Well done mate, you ARE a legend!
My old F650gs left me stranded in the Karoo desert when its battery failed and the experience put a fear in me of riding solo in remote places. I could not imagine a battery failure and had no spare. This video of yours has given me the courage to go at it again. There is so much you teach riders in terms of preparedness in your stunning video. Thank you Adam.
South Africa? - i rode through the karoo f=with 5 mates from Australia in. 2017 - great adventure.
A breeze just came in my window and blew some dust right in my eyes.
Extraordinary mate.
Just woke up at 3.30am, best time to join with you the warhorse spirit, riding in the outback. What a cool way to get up beside of the posibility to get today my own 20 years young Twin horse on the Road of Central America.
Beside today is a special day, delivery of a green Africa Twin 750 to a new owner who likes to start creating great memories also.
Ride save and enjoy!
This is just epic and inspiring, me and my new, 33yrs old Rd04 salute you from the island of Sardinia! I will someday be able to take care of her like you showed us in this absolutely masterpiece of adventure video. Thank you so much Adam!
2:10 What a legend. Fellow trucker moved to the right so the wind wouldn't cover you in sand ❤
Indeed. The way of the outback ...
Man that story about your RM80 was a match to what i went through with my 84 KX 80 when I was 14-15 Brought back alot of memories and smiles . Thank you!
Wow - you cant say Adam did not put faith in the warhorse - EPIC - A humble old Honda bike. Respect is due
This series of presentations is incredible. Just when I think one chapter cannot possibly be beaten, there’s another where the ante is lifted by a mile. Thank you Adam for sharing your adventure and even more for the inspiration.
What riding motorcycles can teach you about life.❤ Our precious time here is well spent on two wheels.
This is the best film about motorcycling, traveling, life, and friendship I have ever seen.
And now, all ADV message boards in Sweden (and Norway) is lighting up with a heated discussion about that fuel pump… crossing the desert relying on a BILTEMA part. Legend. 😂😂 Well done and thanks for an amazing film series. 🙏 Inspiring!
Haha, how did I miss this comment... yes, the Biltema fuel pump is still powering the horse!!
Thank you for sharing episode 6 Adam. I had a trip planned to travel from Nullagine to Kintore and stop off at Jupiter Well on the Gary Junction road for Desert Raid 2023, but unfortunately a broken leg got in the way. After watching this video, I’m now going to complete this journey. Thank you for taking us on your adventure, cheers.
Adam of all the moto youtubers out there you have got to be the best! The way you tell your story, the cinematography and audio is special and as a guy who solo remote tours and dad of two young girls that phone call got me just like it got you. Well done and thank you
Agreed. The India Million Dollar Bogan series was close in drawing you in to the narrative. Sadly bogan became an idiot.
I'm speechless watching this , I have jumped out of planes in the Military , played the drums in Rock Bands and rescued people in fires and people trapped in cars in the Fire Service .Your videos are inspiring and they make me want to get of my arse and get out there, thankyou for the motivation.
I'm swapping my race bike for an adventure bike. Thankyou for your sacrifices that allows us all to start are own adventures. I even talk to myself when I ride down town on my scooter FFS 😀
Adam,
i am speechless of how great your videos are it is so inspiring… thank you for every upload you do it just lightens someones day out there in the world. What a legend all the love from Kuwait 🇰🇼
Perfectly shot video. True hardship overcome through diligence and knowledge. The journey isn’t always fun, but it’s always worth it
You give the phrase "back yard mechanic" a whole new vista. Damn, but you're good!
Just magnificent, when so few words are needed as ol Richie Benno would say, "just marvelous".
Adam you're a legend a bloody national treasure right up there with Malcom Douglas, the Bush Tucker Man and the Crocodile Hunter IMO.
What an unbelievable adventure Adam. I’m transfixed watching you and the War Horse blast across Australia. Truly a momentous journey that your filming makes us all feel as if we are there alongside you experiencing every moment. Fan-bloody-tastic. Thank you.
What a chapter, what a spirit! Every word, every move and every action is just… pure adventure and true nomad stuff, thank You for this inspiring story!
What a legend! This was my favourite video of yours to date! Thank you for allowing us to look into your eyes while you do all the hard work! You are on a whole different level! We have so much respect for what you are doing. I genuinely felt bad for you when you had the rude awakening from the cops and I paused it in frustration, only to return with a giant smile on my face. Can’t wait for the next episode 👍
PLEASE show us when you're reunited with your loved ones at the end. I got choked up listening to her little voice.
Adam, your videos set the standard for adventure documentation. Each video I have the privilege to watch amazes me futher. Cheers brother, and thank you for continuing to bring us these amazing glimpses of your travels.
Thanks for another brilliantly produced video Adam, it was a pleasure to watch. Not only are you a fantastic video story teller, but your Philosophical Passage at the end is a really powerful tool for us all to draw upon as we inevitably encounter the naysayers you speak of. Beautifully said. Thank You
Evocative, emotional and inspirational with beautiful cinematography. You are a class act Adam
I hope this series brings you the success you deserve for all of your hard work and effort. And in turn I hope it allows you to spend more time with your family! I cannot get enough of these videos. I like many others don’t want this series to end, it honestly don’t know what you could do to trump this series Adam. I could watch it over and over 🤘
I recently put my KLR650 down on a dirt road with some freshly poured sand and gravel here in middle of Kansas, USA. So, watching you bust along at 75mph is awesome. With all of my 1000 to 1500 mile trips people can't believe I did that. But, then to watch you make a trip like this is absolutely inspiring to me. Working through fuel and electrical issues with some degree of patience. Knowing your bike so that those small repairs don't stop you is what it's all about. Loved watching this, only wish I had a 10th of your riding skills. After my KLR650 I'm now on a 2016 Africa Twin. Loving this bike and hope to make some memories like you have. Thanks for the inspiration Adam!!
Thank you so much for taking us along!! Love your channel!🙌🏼
So what I gather from this series is that you don’t need TC, ABS, TFT screens, EFI, cruise control, tubeless tyres, tyre pressure monitors, different riding modes and a plethora of other features to go on an epic adventure, just a little know how and some good riding skills, who would have thought !!!
Long May old school bikes used for what they were designed for, hard to believe that back in the day of the warhorse they were never real popular in Australia along with the rest of the P/ D replicas, my how times have changed.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Keep up the good work sir
Incredible I can’t believe the stories continue to get better, amazing message and incredible camera skills and story telling
We are sitting here in the comfort of my home with big smiles. Kudos to you for doing all the hard and challenging work.
Thanks for making this amazing series.
I will remember Bob and Marg forever!
Enjoy being home and we look forward to your next adventure.
Haha, that's great. Good ol' Bob n Marge.
Followed this whole series and much more, hearing you speak to your daughters, ya got me too. Leaving my boy would be the hardest thing to do. Thanks for what you do to give us the content you give.
I just finished up a 2 week 5,000km trip around Europe on my Multistrada - and even though it was on motorways mostly, it nearly broke me. You are a god. An Africa Twin on what look like clay roads and still flat out, fixing things yourself. Epic man, just epic.
AMAZING , absolutely AMAZING , by christ i even well`d up for you , your words , your vids , BRILLIANT
Brought a tear to my eye seeing you in the great sandy. We lived out there for 5.5 years. Fond memories of my IT490 and XR600 in the late 80s/early 90s. Yes, I could do it and after watching the series I just might. Great work Adam.
It's nice when my accidental expeditions run straight through people's homeland, past or present, evoking memories and feelings of a chapter in their lives. A cool bi-product of what is otherwise simply entertainment...
Amazing, absolutely bloody amazing. These films, this story show it all. Love it. 👍
The patience you have is remarkable!
I am in aww of what you do, I neither have the knowhow or the physical endurance to achieve such a thing myself but thank you for showing us what is possible, very humbling
You asked a very important question in this part "Are you ready for the sacrifice". While I am ready for the camping, rough roads, etc. I am also well aware of my mechanical knowledge and riding limits. That in mind, the trip you've undertaken in this series (epic series btw) would very likely be suicidal for me.
Thus I am very happy knowing my own skills will not allow me to do this kind of trip and rather stick to the 60/40 (on and off-road) throughout Europe and Scandinavia, not commiting suicide by face-planting in remote parts of the world, but also watching you do this while supporting you in the ways I can.
Thanks for taking us along and taking the stress of leaving your familiy for those long periods of time.
thanks too you your wisdom your positive energy and way you see the world you help me summons the courage to keep fighting Leukaemia , 4 1/2 years later after being told i only have 2 months to live 1 brain tumour removed 14 days ago I'm still here like a old war horse keep riding keep sharing your films you my hero are a true legend , sure i would still be fighting without knowing of you but living the dream of getting on a bike again your vids keep my dream alive
It's nice to know my films are helping people who need real help. Keep going my friend, I hope you will yourself to ride again. Be strong!
This man has a spare African twin in his panniers!! Absolutely amazing and enthralling journey
That big HUG💕💕 at the end is not just well deserved but profoundly necessary after the trials and tribulations you endured during this leg of your journey. Great job troubleshooting the faulty switch and the smarts to have essential replacement parts when you needed them the most; it could have been a very different outcome otherwise. Best wishes and safe travels, my friend.
" if you move through life with good intentions, the world will move for you " So Awesome!
Epic work Adam.....this just keeps getting better and better. I'd rather watch this than anything else on TV. And I think its fair to say you've discovered the power of well chosen backing music.!
You’re taking life by the horns! Truly inspiring mate.
One of the best motorcycle video maker/producers in the world. Keep riding brother. Keep doing what you do!
You are THE warrior on the War horse, fighting your way through each and every obstacle that comes your way and your rite its the hearts emotion that is the hardest to overcome, this is not just about the War horse its about the connection between Man and Machine that cannot be explained but only be felt. SALUTE n HATS OF TO YOU SiR ADAM. your work is highly appreciated.
I love mate ❤. Your words will always stay in my heart, especially that part you cleaning up the filter.
Ich liebe es, wie Du Dich jedesmal darüber freust das die Honda nach einer Motorenumdrehung anspringt🤙
My mate got given a ring, by his mate's, on his 21st birthday. In January he'll be 50. He still has that ring. On the inside it's inscribed, 'Don't let the bastards grind you down'. Good words to live by!
Again....awesome Adam!!! Absolutely awesome!
I could watch this for hours and hours. 👍👌👍👌
I smiled at the familiar sound of the lift pump then laughed at your statement when finding a fuel leak "Old bike problems"...
If you know, you know...
Another excellent production.
Absolutely amazing once again. Your narrative could almost be described as cathartic. It blows me away.👌
This trip and series of videos is just awesome. The real Motonomad is back!
An absolute legend in both, riding a bike and filming! thank you for quite an epic adventure!
One element to this riding series I truly appreciate is the non-emotional roadside repairs necessary to keep the old bike in good running condition. This is a great thing for younger people to see not only to learn of maintenance on your bike, but also navigating adversity with wisdom and dignity.
Adam, you're truly living the dream, mate. Thanks for taking us along with you. Your cinematography really has a way of sucking us in and making it feel like we're right there with ya.
Sad, elated, teary this had it all. Thank you for sharing Adam, what a legend
I only have one word. “Passion” Thank you.
You have a Gift Adam, We are so lucky that you share it with us All.
Even more EPIC than the last episode. Well (very) done Adam, for the ride and the production. Cheers
Simply amazing! One life, live it! 👊
This was absolutely breathtaking! I didnt want this video to end ....... thank you for sharing this.
"Met" you in the Power of Sound video. Since then I've been watching your videos since. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 Welkom to be exact. Living Legend!!!!
Wow. Just wow. Adam is one hell of a rider and an even a better film maker. Your narration puts me right there with you on the road and this almost moved me to tears.Its made me realize there’s so much to see out there and like you said, we are the authors of our own stories. I am Ugandan currently living in the US. Because of this particular series, I have decided to ship my 2015 Honda crosstourer back to Africa and embark on my own adventure. You put life into perspective and have made so many of us realize that life should be lived and there’s no better way to do this than on 2 wheels. Keep doing what you do mate. You are simply the best.🔥🔥
Thank you very much for taking me along.
This series has been awesome, I’ve loved the warhorse story ever since you brought it in Norway. You are also solely responsible for me buying an 890adventure. Keep up the amazing work
Epic journey mate! Well filmed and captured all the emotion of solo remote riding. Top series Adam 😎👍
36min mark....I could feel the frustration, the emotions.
Another great video mate.
So many points where the story you tell just resonates.
The wry smile every time you hit the starter and The War Horse fires up is a favourite.
Well done.🤘
Adam, you are a hero and a great example, you have made me wish to have a motorcycle and how the life of a motorcycle is very happy, you have taught me a lot through your episodes. I'm in East Africa, I don't have much ability to buy a powerful motorcycle, but with your training, I was able to buy a 250cc single cylinder motorcycle as just the beginning of my motorcycle life, may you have a long life, Hero. My English is not very good, please forgive me.
Absolutely incredible!! Great production! Great story! Great dreams! Thank you
