I started this channel as a place to mainly show motorcycling videos of rides, roads and scenery around Far North Queensland (FNQ) Australia.
It will include segments from road trips beyond FNQ and any interesting events on the road. Note that in the twisty bits, it’s about the line more than the speed. I’m not as young as I use to be, and I don’t need the Adrenalin rush. It’s all about enjoying the ride!
I will not limit the videos to motorcycling, I’ll occasionally include videos of events, places, from my archives and general interest……..just to mix it up a little.
The inclusion of a drone, DJI Mavic Pro, will expand the variety of videos to view. I'll include places of interest and historical significance.
My channel intro and Vlog Intro videos will give you a brief history and other facts about me.
Hope you enjoy the view and find some of these videos of interest to you.

Great, look forward to your review on how these YSS shocks for SM650 turned out for you! Do let us know what the specs of these shocks are and where / how you got them…😊
G'day Moz. Had a Torana back in the seventies, then a sandman 308. Cool cars for a cool time. My one passion has always been, and always will be motorcycles. Owned them constantly for the last 50 odd years now and have never had a bad bike. Each bike had its own unique character and the way it made you feel about it, and thats why I love them so much. Now the most iconic movie about motorcycles has to be "Stone". That Movie was played in the drive-in in '75 in my town, and over half of the car spaces were taken up by bikes! Those were great times for a young lad with his first big road bike (Honda cb 750). Oh how times and motorcycles have changed.Cool video mate, stay safe.
@andyedmond248 Thanks Andy. I do have a movie overview of Stone in my channel. I recorded it either late last year or early this year. Thanks for watching. Cheers
G'day Moz. Just happened across your channel, and I reckon it's great. Watching the scenery go by, I realized that you live just a few hours north of me. The "Dragon Lady" (mother in law) lives up your neck of the woods!! Thats enough of depressing talk for now! I too have recently bought a new SM650, same colour code. Just waiting on the same YSS shockies to be delivered as I also had them on my 650 Interceptor. Interceptor traded for Super Meteor. Kinda like the RE's. My girl has the upgraded wheels from Enfield fitted, as well as Metzeler Marathon Ultra white walls. Also fitted "Ranchero" saddlebags, from Ukraine of all places! Didn't come with any bullet holes in them thank christ! LOL. Verex after market cans (Tassie company) in a black colour and the sound is just perfect. A somewhat deeper tone without being harsh on the ears. Converting mine to a bobber style as I am a solo rider only. Absolutely brilliant bike that suits my disabilities perfectly. I'm 65 and I reckon this will be my last bike, maybe, possibly, we'll see! Do we ever stop looking? Looking forward to following your channel. Subscribed. Stay safe mate.
@andyedmond248 Welcome to my channel. I'm on the Atherton Tablelands. Are you north of Townsville? Say around Cardwell, or am I way off? 🤔 😁. We're about the same age. I ride the Tablelands quite a lot and occasionally hit the coast via the Gillies Range Road. There are some great roads up here. We should catch up sometime. You'll find my email address on my channel. Flick me an email, and I'll forward my mobile number. Ride well. Cheers
@@Moz42 G'day Moz. Townsville based brother. Have been up your waymultiple times over the years and love the area. Just waiting on the new shockies and a couple of other items, and then for sure will take a weekend up your way. Cheers brother, stay safe.
Lazy does as lazy did. NO LOCTITE ( BLUE)! Do like the shocks.
Bolts Torqued up to spec. Bolts haven't moved, this is old school and works well when done correctly and is how it was done before loctite was invented. The best use of loctite is engine covers where it is important to ensure that steel bolts do not undo when bolted to alloy parts. (you can't torque these up too much without causing damage to the alloy ) This ensures the seals hold and oil leaks are prevented. I also like the shocks. Ride well. Cheers
Hey Moz, thanks for the review. I'm based near Newcastle just wondering about the landed cost for these in Oz?
Thanks, Michael, Check out Twisted Moto Royal Enfield Parts on line. I paid $950, delivered. When you order they will contact you and ask for the rider's weight, including gear. They get the shocks set up for that weight before they send them to you. You can also try YSS Australia. Hope this helps. Cheers
Wow! That’s awesome!
@UncleDan58 I thought so also, Dan. Cheers
Very beautiful video, stay connected! New supporter friend 16
Koombooloomba Dam fed Kareeya Power Station which opened in 1957 and was served by workers from Cardstone village. There is a (mostly) underground pipe feeding the water to Kareeya's turbines. The last segment of pipe is near vertical, cut inside rock, and has reducing diameter pipe which speeds the water flow to the turbines. Inside Kareeya's machine room tunnel is very impressive. The village was removed in the early 90's and now is greatly regenerating back to rainforest.
@garyoneill8868 That's so cool. Thanks for that piece of history. Cheers
Great video Moz. Great place too. Visited there many times as a kid....and adult too.
@@garyoneill8868 Yes, it is, except for the March Flies.🪰
In Sweden, this bang would be called a "bomb salvo" because it was not correct. 😮😮😮
@johnandersson3967 agreed 👍. It was an awful blast. Thankfully, the miners got their act together for subsequent blasts.
I saw quite a few Vespa pics in the café! 🛵💨 Another great ride in the books with a mate. It doesn't get any better. I'll go check out his channel.
@KrakensGarageandAdventures it's always great to make new friends. Super little cafe, Eric. The owner is a real biker, back in the day. I was wearing my T shirt that says, " Legendary bikers are born in 1959" She said " and 1958" 😁😅
Gotta love a bike and car show (and nice tune!) Great video and pictures Moz !
Thanks, Eddie
Stay dry up there mate, looks pretty damp
Will do, Rob. We're getting patches of rain alternating with patches of clear weather. I can live with that. Cheers
Hey there Moz👋 Nice ride and cafe👍
Thanks 👍 Dan. Cheers
Hey Moz. Great ride
Hey, thanks, Larry. Cheers
I will check out his channel Mate, cheers 😎
Awesome
Great little town and cafe Mate. 😎
It sure is
wow we can go fast at night on this hill
Beautiful little town, looked like Dorrigo in NSW! ✌️
It is! a nice town, very hilly. Cheers
I felt like that last night after a hot curry
Boom 💥
Awesome thanks for sharing 👍
It was a good day out. Cheers
Amazing eye candy to see at this show. Wow! There is a lot of money at this show. Loved the Joe Walsh tune! Good one, Moz.
Thanks, Eric. Yeah, it was a super turnout, best I've seen in Atherton. Cheers
Great bike and cars, and a cracking tune as always mate, enjoyed.
Thanks Nic. Good turn out, it's the biggest I've seen at Atherton. Cheers
Great collection of bikes Mate
Yeah, it was a good turn out. Cheers
Love the pink Charger number plate!
Yep
Love those Joe Walsh solo albums!
Me too
Great collection Moz 😎👌
Good turn out. I entered my bike and won.....nothing.😁
That's really cool. I missed it by a day. The V6 Capri, is the one i nearly bought as an 18yo, probably would not be here had I gone through with it 😊
Thanks, Nick. I've seen that Capri before. Unfortunately, it's the 4 cylinder model. Cheers
@@Moz42 the one i looked at was a leaky 6, I loved it, but my father dragged me away, bahaha
I love the old Monaro. So cool.
Yeah me too. Cheers
Love seeing these older cars being preserved and used.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Some take me back. I don't know what it is with YT and me, every now and again, it'll stop my comments. I did say cheers to all in the Prem, but YT stopped the comment ging through. ????? Cheers
are this 23mm lengthier and yes any mods to do on front forks to smoothen handling
These shocks are the same length as the standard shocks. However, they can be adjusted 10mm either way. You can purchase longer or shorter shocks if that is your requirement. For me, the front forks are just fine, and there is no need to adjust or change these. Hope this helps with your enquiry. Cheers
@@Moz42 thanks
Sounds like a great upgrade and having the ability to adjust the suspension to reach your favourite riding style is great ! Well done amigo. Take care Moz
Thanks, Eddie. It's made a huge difference improving the ride. Cheers
Can you share model number or something of shock absorbers please 🙏
The model number of the twin shocks I have is RZ362. Check the link below yssaustralia.com.au/filter?other_9=25&feature_11=101model-SUPER+METEOR+650&feature_12=2023&type=top
That is such an easy adjustment - very cool mate. Great to hear they hit the spot, I've never upgraded suspension before, might consider it at some stage.
If the suspension you have is working for you, then why bother upgrading. It's an expense you may not need to do. In my case, the STD shocks were giving my spine a hard time. I'm not bothering with the front forks as I believe they are doing their job just fine. Food for thought. Ride well. Cheers, Nic.
Mate, when you finally realise that the suspension is set right and the bike feels more balanced… great feeling. ✌️
Yep. Thanks, Roger. Cheers
Quality product mate 👍
Sure are, mate. Cheers
Hey Moz. Good to hear About your shocks
Thanks Larry. Cheers
I've got just over 1000ks on the YSS so far, still adjusting as i go, but she rides AND corners so much nicer now. Might try add a turn or 2 of preload next.
Good one, mate. They certainly improved the bike. Cheers
Cam you share the exact spec of the shocks? Or share a link to the shop?
There you go. Here are 2 sites. Cheers www.twistedmotoparts.com.au/ www.twistedmotoparts.com.au/
Nice Moz, great upgrade.
Thanks, David. Cheers
Dollar for dollar, the YSS shocks are one of the best values on the market.
Yes they are, Eric. They improve the bike, for sure. Cheers
cool suspension upgrade for a more comfortable ride Moz mate *🦘Au🦘💯full view always📺thumbs up👍enjoy your week😎*
Thanks, Billy. Cheers
I recon you clicked it to five across the road from the place I got my morning coffee from. The fuel station and caravan park? I forget it's name 😊
That be "Tall Timbers Roadhouse" Cheers
Well done Moz, worth taking the time to dial it in to suit you 😎🤙🏻
Yeah mate. I ended up using the 5 notches from soft. Thanks, BB. Cheers
Hay Mate Paul , just watched you vid , obviously impressed with the YSS shocks .
I am. catch ya tomorrow. Cheers
A worthy upgrade. Top stuff mate!
Yes, it's a different bike now for the better. Thanks Stef. Cheers
Awesome!!!!!
Curious what luggage rack you are using with your RE Touring Seat and Backrest? Looking forward to the new shocks evaluation video.
G'day, I got the rack from eBay. There are a number available out of India. Just about every Indian fabricator make racks for RE's. You need to ensure you get one for the Celestial, which has the touring seat and backrest. Cheers
My gosh! Somebody actually uses a torque wrench! 🙌😂
Yeah, I'm old school.😂 Cheers
He didn’t even “click” his elbow.
Great job on the installation. I'm sure it will ride like a new bike now when you get them dialed in. Are there any plans for the front fork springs?
Thanks, Eric. I feel the front forks are fine. The goal was to save my back, and bum 😁, from a pounding. Cheers
Nice work, you made that look easier than it is. Hope it works well for you.
It's pretty straightforward. Mucking about with the camera makes the whole task longer. Cheers
