Hey mate it was nice meeting you out on the tracks! I was one of the guys helping clean up. Thank you for also putting in an effort to help us, it’s a shame that this is the reality of the bush we share. Glad to meet some like minded people out on the tracks!

Nice work legends! There’s a special place in hell put aside for people who litter. Much thanks for taking the time to pick it up ✊

My clutch lever snapped on a drop. Was riding solo on Howes trail. Luckily a guardian angel towed to top of hill, where I bump started it. Had two or three closed gates to contend with, guardian angel kept overtaking me whilst I rode slow and opened said gates. Got back to Putty Rd then had to ride home about 120km with ultra clunky clutchless gear changes and stressing about traffic lights or having to stop on an incline in traffic. Made it home with only two more bump starts. Needless to say I don’t leave home without spare levers or cable when I’m in those environments! Lance your ride home, I know how it feels mate - glad you made it I’m sure there was a few hairy moments

Haha that sounds as rough as my ride home. Nevertheless though another life experience that a will never forget and smile back on.

A love that “very well maintaines trail” cut to Titanic bog! 😜 Great riding through there.

To the blokes in the 4wd's, thank you. To all the people leaving trash, you suck!

No worries, unfortunately we have to share the tracks with these grubs so the least we can do is clean up after them and hope the message gets out to them before rangers find it and close places we all love down.

@@patrickwilliamson29 that’s a good point, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. There was about a whole case worth of bottles smashed throughout the bush.

don't waste your time carrying a clutch cable, just replace it every 6yrs or so whether it needs it or not. there's only 2 reasons they break old age and use or aftermaket levers or perches that cut the cable. replacing periodically avoids the age related failure, not using dodgt aftermarket crap eliminates the second type of failure.

13:05 I hate people dumping rubbish, its so easy to make a dedicated rubbish bag for the night and bring it with you. Such a nice video btw, I love riding my DRZ400E, nice scenery in the blue mountains and you see things others don't see on the bike 14:30 nice sediment rocks, you can see the bedding (the layers)

awesome ride mate 😁👌sucks about the clutch cable hay 😮been thinking about those kits you can get and keeping it in my tool bag for when SHTF 🤔 although a complete cable would be better 😁👍 keep well mate and ride safe-ish 😉🍺

I’ll be putting a cable back into my kit for sure. 👍

My rule of the cable is.....grease 2 years and replace the third, keep the changed one for a spare. It is usually rust that weakens them...and they are cheap for a 3 yr exchange. Garth

The good old leather man comes in handy

Awesome looking ride mate. Maybe now you won’t need the grip strength of the hulk to use your clutch 😂

Yo my man. You should stop editing out your hill climbs even if you mess up. Those are some of the best parts. Like the one around 11:20.

Lance, might be good to replace manual with hydraulic clutch, the kit is affordable and worth it, cheers.

I'm really interested in watching a snippet of you riding it home without a clutch

you get on the trail clutch cable repair kits but its a bit bulky to carry a whole spare clutch cable but a repair kit is super lightweight and would serve as a replacement for Throttle or clutch... that being said im 44 seconds into this video so forgive me if im ignorant :D also love it when a friday begins with some aussie dirtbike action :D

I'm enjoying this video like all of your others. Keep up the great content! Question: I love my DRZ400 (mine's an S with E gearing). Do you sometimes wish you had a lighter, more powerful enduro or is there something that makes you stick with your DRZ over all of these other nice bikes your mates bring on these adventures?

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer

I’d love a enduro bike but can’t afford two bikes so the DRZ in my books is the best option for all types of riding.

Legends... may be i could only do 20% of it.

Great action video, can the DRZ 400 be lowered by 50mm?

@The_Apprentice_Adventurer

Thanks mate. There are lowering kits but I am not too sure if they are pre set and or you can choose your height. I do lack knowledge in that department.

Krooztune do a 40mm lowering link then adjust the forks in the triple clamps. If you need to lower more seat concepts have a lowered seat (expensive) that's comfortable.
