I decided to be fancy what was stainless steel tubing half inch male and female fittings with two extensions for the foot and for the ratchet round $70.00 overall but it's nice looking and sturdy and does what it needs to do 72 years old and bikes are getting a little bit too heavy for this old fart so that's why I made it tried other designs of ropes harnesses but I decided I want something that would lift the bike that would be easy on my body so that's what I did have a nice day and be safe out there

The Bluish Mushroom 🎉

I have the X3 and had the same issue. Got that fixed through the video. Thanks Greg.

For one slight moment you nearly had me!!

I'm not old as dirt but I love it!

I missed this episode - amazing part of the ride for sure! Awesome to have such a great guide.

Hey man !! Good info, I thought you’d show the most recent test of your device 🤔 (here it comes to save the day!!)

haha, drop bear! I almost believed it!

That's worked perfect,thank you very much. I thought I had an internally damaged lens.

Nice video ! Hi, Greg, can I know which software was used to edit this?

Very nice ❤

Haha. Trained wallabies is a million dollar idea!

Looks like a great place to spend more time! How long did you ride each day?

What was your favorite part of the ride?

Great video! Looks like you had a blast! (in spite of a few setbacks)

Great use of the GPS images and drone shots. Gives a very nice sense of scale and allows us to take in the scene really well. Great video!

Definitely inspiring!!

Awesome! Wonday i want to ride a motorbike around the place

The black Labrador hah

I think you will find that it is pronounced Gippsland not Jippsland. My source is 62 years in Australia.

Barn! You’re rocking it!! It wouldn’t be an adventure if you didn’t have hiccups!

Hey man - no sweat it’s only stuff! Keep on rolling and enjoying the adventure !! You have the right mindset: You’re doing something amazing ✊🏼 Looking forward to the next vid…

Wooohooo

Drive safe and enjoy

You are living everyone’s dream life !!!

Great views!!! I wish I could ride with you.

Want to jump into that ocean! Gorgeous views!

Some very sweet roads - especially the bridge. Take your time and enjoy the moments - you can always extend your trip if you find a place that’s too good to just ride through. I’m eyeing a new NX400 for longer trips here, hopefully when you return we’ll have time to venture out for some multiple day adventures! (If the wind is cutting through your layers maybe use a plastic bag below the top layer). Continue the journey and thanks for the vids! 🖖🏼

Awesome uncle ji

Awesome Greg!! Love that you're in my neck of the woods!!!!

looking forward to more videos!

Amazing, solo trip around Australia? Did u see any unique animals? Kangaroo?

Wow so happy for you! You have that bike packed like a pack mule on the Silk Road! Glad the small bike is working out for you. Happy riding on your bucket list, bike adventure! Your China friends are missing you!

zikes that luggage looks precarious!

Ribs mmmmmmm!

awesome.

Great advices! 😊😊😊. Very helpful

You got some great shots!!!! Amazing views you captured!😊

Greg. You did it!!! How far are you gonna travel with this bike? Are you camping along the way?

Can you show a map of your journey? Ride safe and enjoy the ride!!

Well done!!! Enjoy your ride😄

Wow! Thank you for that! You’ve much more experience than I but I’ve done a few of these; in 2012 I rented a Boulevard in New Zealand and did 2 months on that thing. Both islands and mostly camped. It was great! That’s why I’m good with this trip, although shorter. I’m doing 4 weeks on this bike. And I’m now 1900kms in and am loving it! It is slow, 110 is over 7000revs. It’ll do 120 or so but not forever. Your being still in your 60’s I’d say “a puppy”, jokingly! The key is not to listen to those who are afraid of everything. Hang out with young people who are in awe of everything and adopt that perspective and then keep moving, don’t sit! Bless you! Thanks for your great comment!

Having travelled extensively using motorcycles (and motor and scooters) have to agree … that the motorcycle itself isn’t the priority. Luggage however, takes some consideration … more especially, if you intend camping. After a year riding from NE Europe, to Australia, realised in hindsight that I had chosen to carry too much. The additional weight of luggage changed the handling characteristics of my F650GS Dakar. Enough to make anything other than good sealed roads challenging. Quickly discovering after leaving Europe, Central, SE Asia and the Indian subcontinent, good sealed roads can be something of a rarity. As I’ve aged, came to worry less when travelling in far flung places. And learned to be content with whatever is available. Two of the best trips during more recent years, were Vietnam, Cambodia and India with my wife. Renting whatever seemed good vale. In the case of India and Kerala, a Chinese built scooter. And Vietnam, a Chinese built Honda XR150. Relying on whatever accommodation we could find along the way, negated the need for camping gear. Meaning a small backpack each, was manageable on a small bike … one thing that’s crucial. Is to understand that the ability to travel at speed in many Asian countries isn’t an imperative. In fact, ‘going with the flow’ is the only way to stay safe … Australia though, is a different prospect. Where the main roads through remote regions are usually good. Meaning you can sit on (or over) the speed limit, all day. And where wild camping lets you stay longer in those remote regions. So long that is, if you’ve got access to fuel and water. I was interested to find you’re 75 … and still taking on long distances. And on a relatively small mount, too. I’m just coming up to 70 myself. And have given consideration to following a coastal circuit of this sunburnt country, myself. But first have to do some more work in my travel bike … which like me is showing its age!

Hey man ! Great to see you reunited with Benny - the bike looks like it’s ready! Where are you planning to go?

That looks awesome. Hope you're having a great time!

I’m sooo happy to see you in Sydney. Have a wonderful motorcycle trip in Australia

I also have a Suzuki Intruder, nice bike

Really enjoyed watching your video from Ireland. We hope to some day see the reefs in Australia too, thank you for inspiring us!

Go Greg!!!

My wife and I were on Spoilsport with Greg. He did an amazing, and accurate, job documenting what the diving was like that week. I look forward to seeing his future adventures!
