  • This video chronicles an epic adventure through the Australian outback, starting with a comfortable camp near Narrabri. Along the way, you'll get to see some stunning outback scenery captured with my new drone. There are also encounters with some true outback characters at the Hebel pub. You'll hear some interesting stories and life advice when a local photographer interviews me on the side of the road during a tyre change.
    The ride takes in charming outback towns and iconic landmarks like the Betoota Hotel. Get ready for breathtaking views and wide-open spaces as you travel through some of Australia's most remote and beautiful country.
    The journey isn't all smooth sailing, you'll see a roadside tire change and the, shall we say, interesting, aftermath of using a makeshift rock stand for the bike. We'll also wait out some rain at the Birdsville Hotel, a true outback institution.
    So buckle up and join the ride for an unforgettable outback adventure!

    Hi mate...enjoyed your video - good memories of my crossing 2 years ago right after rain too. Just like you by the time I got to Mt Dare my fork seal was weeping, so I slid the dust cap down with a flat blade screwdriver, and cut up a plastic water bottle and slid it up inside the oil seal and went around a couple of times and cleaned the oil seal lips. Never leaked again....they sell fancy tools that do the same thing - known as Seal Doctors, Seal Savers etc...but the cut plastic bottle works fine...(yes, you lose a little oil cleaning the seal, but there's lots in there, and you're losing it now too). Usually seals leak from having mud go hard on the bottom part of your fork leg overnight, then the next day you force it up under the lip of the seal when you hit big bumps....after muddy days I try to remember to wipe my fork leg lowers down in the mornings while the bike warms up. Cheers.

    Great riding all out the Ridge and them areas as long as u don't cross over into people's mining leases. U missed going out to Grawin the pub in the scrub the Hilton and the sheepyards it's full of fuckin legends but Hebel was in your direction. Evan the pub in the Ridge definitely worth having a few coldys. Safe travels look forward to seeing the journey
