Reverse gear ! My Himmy didn’t have that option ! Great video. I’m going to find that GPX file and check it out. The horse fence question has been answered above but in addition those farms that do choose to use wire fences will have a white ribbon as well as the top wire as horses find it hard to see the grey/silver wire and will run straight thru it. They see the white ribbon clearly.

finally someone picked up the reverse gear joke 😂 (just my feet). Thanks for the additional information, it all makes sense now.

Another great series Joe 👍 I guess I will have to start watching the NZ ones next ... 😂 BTW have you looked at the new model yet, I guess the extra horses would be nice but what you do with the 411 is probably all you need. There was only that one hill that you couldn't get up with all the gear on. And the big single sounds good. Bonus, at least you can carry an extra 10 lts of fuel, I don't think you can on the newer model. Happy travels and keep up the good videos ... Stay safe.

Thanks mate, it's always good to hear you enjoyed the episode, I bought my bike second hand as that's all I could stretch the funds, so it may takes some time before there is a second hand market for the 450, it does look like a more capable bike, but I have not ridden one.

So farm fencing. Think chicken wire (tiny circular mesh), pig wire (small squares), cattle and sheep wire (long strands), while all different shapes, they're all still wire. Chickens, pigs, sheep and cattle are OK with wire as they don't tend to jump much. But horses jump, and at speed, and can hurt themselves something shocking in a wire fence. Also their shoes get caught particularly in wire when they kick out backwards. So with valuable horses, the fencing is usually post and rails. Horses can see rails much better at speed and may jump the whole fence if going fast enough and are big enough, which most are. If a horse crashes into a rail, it will more likely bounce off than break the rail, but even if they break the rail, usually they just crack. And hey, post and rail fencing looks so much nicer! It's a status symbol too, with white-painted rails indicating millionaire studs.

Thanks for the detailed answer to my questions, at the time I thought it may have something to do with being easier to see the fence but wasn't sure. Now that you have mentioned it I can now see why they wouldn't use wire fencing, totally makes sense. I did film a lot of the studs be there was just so much of that brown fencing in that area it got me thinking why. Funny about the white fencing haha.

Established in 1985, Arrowfield Stud is the largest Australian owned thoroughbred stud and currently stands 8 stallions including the four-time champion sire Snitzel." Wikipedia Thank you again Joe.

G'day Joe. I sit with baited breath waiting with anticipation for your next upload. I watch them all with envy, hoping that I'll get the chance to start my own adventures soon, and nervous about whether I'll be ready when that time comes. One request, please take the time to show us more often where you are on a map.. You often cover 1000km in a single day and I often think, I love to do just "that" section in a day but I'm unsure where that section is.

Thanks mate, glad you like it, yes a lot of animals this time. I think the breathalyser thing is thought of very differently here, as I know some Americans might look at it as infringing on their Civil liberties, here in Australia it is only about safety, the statistics show the difference it has made with deaths and injuries. I would take the test a lot more often (even if it happen every week) and have no problem doing it, even the drug test (same thing but for drugs) to get the idiot that could potentially run into me and kill me off the road or even if it deterred someone from getting in a car impaired from alcohol in the first place. The actual penalty: Penalty for refusing a breath test The penalty for failing to take a breath test is the same as the penalty for blowing an alcohol blood concentration level of 0.15% or above. This offence attracts a minimum six-month license disqualification, a $4000 fine, or a term of imprisonment of up to six months. You would think people when in a public space (like on public roads) would show the respect to others that they would want shown to them, but sadly people don't so that is why the breathalyser test are still happening today. The biggest thing with taking the 20 second test, is that it is quicker and there is no judgement call by a policeman.

It is a lot trickier to ride with the backpack in technical terrain as the backpack is actually very heavy. When moving your body side to side sitting and especially standing, there is a delay of the momentum of the bag, so it a lot more difficult than it would be without, another reason why I am not tackling difficult terrain as all the camera gear is in the backpack, and I'd end up on the ground cracking stuff.

hope you enjoyed it.

How do you get the loaded bike up on the center stand, I can't get it up even with 25mm cut off, something maybe you can show us.

I haven't had an issue. I face towards the front of the bike with the foot on the stand that you push down on, I grab some part of the bike near the back wheel, and like you might pick a bike up facing away from it and kind of do a squat lift, I push with my foot but my body is leaning backwards while pulling up with my hand. Not sure if I explained that well.

Lift from the pillion peg mount, makes it much easier.

Hi mate, the site that does have the file is transaustraliatrail.com.au/tracks/mapview#content you can download it from here. You select the area, then mainly off road then easy to moderate and search. when you see a track you like, click the check box and it will appear on the map. then you can click on the left to down load that GPX file.

How's the reliability of the RE Himalayan 450 now, after 40K kms?

I am on a RE Himalayan 411, The 450 has not been released where I am as yet. I have done over 45,000km on my 411 and still no issue, so for me the reliability has been really good.

@@freewayproject I just watched a review posted by an Indian...I assume he is Indian, by his accent. Towards the end of his review he couldn't start the Himalayan 450 and apparently had to leave it by the roadside. That's why I asked the Q.

@@RUHappyATM Oh that's bummer for him, I had heard the 450 was available in India. Hopefully it is just his bike and not an issue with the model, as they do look like a more capable model.
