    Oh wow mate, hope you don't get called out often. Was a lot of focussed effort to keep the bike upright on that trip down that long dirt road. Thanks for watching and thanks for the work you do 👍😁

    Now that was a wet long ride filled with adventure. I'm glad Red got you sorted on the tire. I very much enjoyed this one, and thank you for sharing.

    A lot of beautiful elements in this one for sure. Would have been easy for a mechanic without the attentiveness and care of Red to miss that piece of grit causing the issue, I carry some good luck finding old-school talented mechanics. Thanks Eric, appreciate the comments and your watching.

    Thanks mate, it's a terrific spot. That wet downhill part really had me out of my groove, that part was not fun at all. I reckon your photography talents would find a great deal of placement in Ouse, it's an interesting spot. Cheers for watching.

    Ha, Ouse beautiful - love an outsider's insight! 😉 Those wet roads tested my nerves just watching 🙈 Sweet journey and footage - nice to see my own neighbourhood from a different perspective 😀 Funky quirky tune! Well put together, even to a motorbike ignoramus like me 😆

    I'd love to know the story about Ouse from an insider! Pretty wild wet roads for sure, glad you enjoyed the ride. This is the trip in 2022 where I visited and we sent up the drone at the beach and got that photo of you pulling faces heheh! Thanks for watching Suf, cheers!

    I was mentally exhausted after getting back on the flat to the north of Tasmania. Not an ideal ride heheh!

    Good 'un Nic. I've found scooters to be a blessing with the coverage in rain, but the smaller tires makes those wet curves even scarier. But, like you, I forge ahead. Need to get off my duff and post. I've been riding, just not filming. Shame on me. And yes, small towns is where it is....woooot!!!!! Oh, sorry 'bout the low tire (tyre?) but glad is wasn't bad. I carry rope plugs and a portable battery operated compressor with me. Never used for myself, but have helped a cager pulling a camper once. They were amazed that a guy on a scooter was all it took to get 'em on their way. Later....

    There's a lot to be said for riding without filming - there's a change in the style of my videos coming up to require less filing while riding, while making the videos more personable and engaging while still retaining the "showing the beauty of riding, roads and locations" that my videos are currently. Good to know you're still finding good time to be out there taking in those roads! That flat tyre was a tubed tyre - I'm pretty much set on non-tubed tyres so you can do the "rope plug" and "inflator" thing. Much more difficult tearing a wheel off and changing a tube! Love the story about the camper, would have been mighty impressed with the prepared scooter driver! Thanks for watching mate, be well!

    Cheers mate, yep it was a lot of intense concentration and the scenery was beautiful - quite a long time focussing on keeping upright, that's for sure. Thanks for watching, hope you're well!

    Pretty stunning, that little road off the dirt road section - and the road on the way from Ouse towards Hobart just fills your heart with joy, it's so beautiful. Hope you're there soon.

    8 mins you the man.. jaqs impressed hehe. Man, those roads looked very wet.. yikes. I was waiting for you to shoot the drone up to check the dirt road. That song was off the chart, mate.. very weird, but i liked it, and it set in well with some parts of the ride. Couldn't hesr much of your chat at the end too much wind. Over all 8 n half points.. will change it to 10 with some bribery.. cheers mate

    Aw mate, a good 8 minutes is, well, a good 8 minutes. The roads were dodgy, that's for sure. This was in the 2022 flooding - so it got worse in a sense once I rode through Victoria from here, closed roads and such. It's a good tune - the artist has some other good tunes I'll use later on. Cheers for the watch mate, I knew you'd like the longer video heheh!

    Such a gorgeous area, I loved it there. Yeah that weather - in the time of the 2022 floods - was pretty wild. No doubt I'll be back again sometime in the future, fingers crossed for 2025. Thanks for watching Bert, I've appreciated you watching this cut of Tasmania.
