As a H-D rider i will greet you no matter what bike you ride even a scooter, to me anyone that rides on two wheels is a brother or sister of the road, we all share the same common goal of the open expanse of freedom having the wind blow across our bodies, you are more in-tuned with what mother nature has to offer than sitting inside a glass steel box. Have enjoyed watching S1 & S2 & now S3 of your trip around Aussie, hopefully I will be able to do the same, all the best from CHCH NZ🇳🇿and keep it twisted 🏍

The road reminds me of the trip between Eucla and Ceduna back in the early 70s when the road was unsealed and full of fine dust called bulldust. The road also reminds me of the roads between Laverton WA and the NT border when I worked for the Department of Community Development. Are you guys planning a trip to the Bungle Bungles, so nice that they named it twice? Safe travels, love your videos
@nowwatt8 ай бұрын
Hey Ron, nice to hear from you. Glad our trip brought back some nostalgic memories for you. Yes, we are hoping to do the Bungles when we drive back to Qld around the Top End. Sadly our two wheel adventures have had to be sacrificed for our need to work and plan for the future, but hopefully down the track in a different location we can get back on bikes. Till then the Prado gets us places we’d never get to otherwise….look out for our next video dropping on Thursday to see what I mean! Will keep making videos regardless so thanks for watching.
