My very first "off road" experience was in exactly the location you're in but I was on an NC750x. Taking that through there, out to Mountain Lagoon and even down Gee's Arm Fire Trail where you went was a bit hectic but so much fun. I got to the part you were talking about and yeah, didn't go down LOL. I got better and better and in the end had the back hanging out around corners on a bike that's really meant for the road. So much fun. I've been out to your lookout (I won't name it) many, many times and just sat there looking at the bush and river below. Magic. Thanks for this vid, bought back some good memories and can 100% relate to what you were saying.

Set-up looks mint and looking forward to the upcoming trip!

People won't time if you leave in footage of you riding without talking for a long while. It's nice to pretend like you're riding alone when you're not able to ride. Keep up the excellent vids man. I hope to be watching you in many years to come. :)

thanks Lance, a very nice relaxing ride, something I live for, like that you've kept the stock mirrors, they really are the best

It's ok if the Kriega touches your legs. Use them as Steg Pegz (less fatigue). Awesome bags 👍

Awesome spot... and glad to hear you're teaming up with Josh for another epic trip.

As one of the followers sub’d to all three of the guys I can not wait to see the upcoming adventure and it being filmed from 3 different perspectives. Glad this ride was a bit simpler without any dramas because you needed a trip a lot less stressful than the last few. Thanks for sharing lance

Looks like a choice place for a shake down run. I've got a mtb trail network 600m away from my house and i count my blessings every time on the Emtb.Not so good are Moto rides. But hey... Can't wait to follow your trip mate. Sweet.

Nice mate. I’d like to check out those dirt roads myself with the DR650 I’ve had parked in the garage for a few years.

Hi love the chanel, ive got a drz too, what gearing do you use?i also want to hit some adventures too, what tyres have you settled on?e​@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer😢

Nice idea selling the GPX for the price of a coffee. I recognised some of those roads but the smaller ones looked unfamiliar and never seen that lookout before so purchased a copy to see what turn offs I’m missing around there. 👍

Yeah that idea was born from viewers suggesting it. I had never thought of it myself to make routes. Definitely a workable idea though. That last look out there is a little bit of tar to get to but it allows you to have lunch at kurrrajong and then finish at the lookout.

Welcome to team Kriega 👏🏼 😂 Can’t wait for the trip mate. Yeww 🤙🏼

Cant wait for the videos mate

Can’t wait, absolutely loved the trip to the Cape

i have had the kriega os 24 system, two 12 litre saddle bags for 4yrs no issues prefer the smaller bags to let my legs move around more. done a simpson trip and plenty of other trips no issues. i found getting some reusable cable ties and using them to limit the bags moving around is a bonus. they're easy to remove and adjust.

Bravo..... so looking forward to the upcoming adventure ride. cheers mate

Yeah it’s going to be epic. I’m super pumped.

The Kriega bags have a great reputation. They’re a bit pricey but I believe that’s because of the quality of them. I use a mixture of Kriega and Mosko Moto and both brands are outstanding. I’m looking forward to discovering where you are all going on this adventure and of course watching the videos, keep up the good work. 👍

Thanks mate. Yeah they definitely appear better in the quality department than my Nelson Rigg ones. Well stayed tuned. Only a few weeks to go 🤙

Trees look like red snappy gums, always come out like that after rain.

Always good to return to where it all began.....you said 3 people...I will be tagging along to see the videos.

I purchased Giant Loop Coyote saddle bag just befor my Christmas ride into the vic high country. It was great to move all the weight down lower and have room to ride. My riding buddy is looking at a set-up like yours for his drz400. Looking forward to seeing you and Josh on another adventure.
