Hi mate...enjoyed your video - good memories of my crossing 2 years ago right after rain too. Just like you by the time I got to Mt Dare my fork seal was weeping, so I slid the dust cap down with a flat blade screwdriver, and cut up a plastic water bottle and slid it up inside the oil seal and went around a couple of times and cleaned the oil seal lips. Never leaked again....they sell fancy tools that do the same thing - known as Seal Doctors, Seal Savers etc...but the cut plastic bottle works fine...(yes, you lose a little oil cleaning the seal, but there's lots in there, and you're losing it now too). Usually seals leak from having mud go hard on the bottom part of your fork leg overnight, then the next day you force it up under the lip of the seal when you hit big bumps....after muddy days I try to remember to wipe my fork leg lowers down in the mornings while the bike warms up. Cheers.

Great video.. loved it!! Just a quick tip to you and other guys on bikes on the outback tracks..if possible...switch headlights on (even if just parks as they even make a huge difference) for when you're riding through the dunes on open offroad especially and on overcast days you'll be amazed how far you can be seen up front just so you guys don't go get cleaned up by any bull bars on the way over a hill. Also, how awesome is sick Rick as when he saw you go down in one of the videos he jumped straight back on his bike and raced up to you to make sure that your ok...and how you kept a check on him with looking in mirror...and that's how Aussies look out for their mates!👍👍👍 Next trip, maybe look at getting a helmet Bluetooth communication kit for talking to each other and is best idea safety wise as for warning each other of dangers.. If not Bluetooth, look at Jaycar and get a pair of small uhf twoways with an earpiece... youll only need the 0.5w or 1watt units ($49.00 for a pair in a small case) where each unit is small as..like smaller than your phone and can get out to one another 2km away so not only can you talk to each other on a chosen channel, you press 'scan', so once you stop talking, it automatically scans all the other channels so if there is other drivers near you, youll pick them up talking and know someone's close so to keep eyes out, and when need to talk to riding buddy again, just press button and talk again..👍 That was totally awesome how you both got along so well as riding buddys!..now it would be good to see a few more episodes of the both of you out conquering all the different Aussie tracks around the country as everyone in 4x4s doing it, but not many bikes! We will all be waiting for next episode. Cheers! 🍻 👍👍👍

Fuck man, the new UFO is definitely adding some cool shots to the videos. That looks like an epic ride. Also looks like riding fitness is a fairly high priority out there! Your production skills are getting better too! Need to get an Ankor power bank for the backpack and a usb c cable to the gopro. Can run it for about 20 hours on one charge running full resolution with horizon lock. More footage to cope with later, but you never miss anything if the fkrs running all ride long. No swapping batteries.
