ha ha, just revisiting this video, having watched you again we took my CFMoto 450MT out. FYI it's about 18km to the sandy exit lol. Heaps of fun though, that beach is good.

Hard to believe you guys made it on those Groms. I rode the TAT back in 2013, along with 2 other guys. They were on first gen Kawasaki KLR650s, I rode a Yamaha XT225. I think a small bike is actually an advantage on the trail. Speed and power are worthless on the trails. My biggest problem was flat tires. We all had flat tires, but I had the most. I had 5. And we had tube type tires, which were not easy to fix. We all had aftermarket centerstands, and I had an aftermarket 4 gal gas tank. I was 54 years old at the time, several years older than the others. Thanks for the videos. Very entertaining. Hope you are still doing well.

Great job!

I assume you didn't use a portable compressor ?

That's definitely a workout

How was the Versys on the dirt? Did I hear you say "it's rough"?

Please describe how bad the rim was damaged... there is plastic spacers to protect rim... if the need to change tire was on the field then I see it would be fine, but now when the work is performed in the garage I suggest to improve... (YHG Motorcycle Rim Protector for Changing Tires, 5 Pcs Tyre Changer Guard Rim Blades Wheel Protectors Tyre Change Tools Tyre) - 10 pounds... and good luck with the bike travels :)

That back tire can be a real pain in the ass…

OMG, you’ve seen the best sights in Waimate where I grew up. We farmed Mt Michael, the peak a little lower than Mt Studholme, but used to start the muster from the transmitter. I’ve driven it several times, but my dad would never let me take the farm bike up it (it didn’t have a front brake). A couple of years ago on the way back from the TT I took Marty and Glenn up to the Woolshed. The road was clearly not maintained like it used to be. Your footage higher up would suggest it’s no better further up - and obviously I know it is way steeper, rockier and narrower further up. How do you reckon it would be on an unladen Super Tenere? Great vid.

Its nice to see someone show the reality of changing a tyre. Every other KZbinr seems to make it look easy but thats a full work out and you didn't even so it in the mud and rain.

Please do video on getting plugs out so quick. Ta

Good effort well done 👍

Very good! My turn...yikes!!!

Why do you have your passenger footpegs still attached? Is it an offroad oriented T7 or not?

Good work! Just got my T7 and was wondering how hard it would be to change a tyre in the wild. Looks hard! I better practice it too!

Great little clip guys and very tense..... and then it happened. So glad you got going again.

Soo close yet soo far! Some greats pics!

The manual does explicitly state the Versys is not an off road bike.

well done. shame you broke a mirror

Awesome. I look forward to watching this series!

Nice trip, what are the bikes here? T7's?

yes, it's a tricky exit getting back out of malings.....not for solo riders lacking in experience or confidence

Crikey, that was a moment. Replay... replay... replay... Crikey.

What fantastic trails 👌🏻

Holy smokes! Some scary stacks there.

That was a great day out - glad you were ok after the injury.

Another good one, you two.

Nice adventure.

I met your Kiwi friend Mark in June 2023 when he was riding the TAT and passing through Tellico Plains, TN. Is he going to create a YT series of his trip? Thanks!

Oh shame about that water, nice trip regardless.

Small bikes, big laughs.

It’s a pretty brown lookin river …lol

I am wanting to set up a free place to camp with shower , shelter , electricity just 8 miles from John day in Mt. Vernon. Trail goes right past my property.( TAT Riders only) Does anyone think this would get used or be of value to riders?

Rhank you for sharing your trip. You made it look fun. 😂 I did the TAT too and I was warned about Oklahoma mud fest lol

Nice video. You got some great weather there! Those mototokens seem a great excuse for a ride.

Beautiful. Its fun trying to spot the locations when you haven't read the title properly : )

Bit sketchy on that non guardrail bridge. 😂

Looks like you had some fun! The other thing to help get through the soft stuff is take as much preload out of the rear shock as you can. Helps the rear squat and pushes you up out of the soft stuff. Nice work! ❤

Wr and a tenere no better combo! Well done boys!

Your bikes are beautiful.

Can you think about posting an equipment video, what you like to wear and what you carry with you for camping and what tools, Also what you liked disliked and changed.

Good to see you guys again!

Mt Patriarch looks amazing haven't been up there before shame about the cloud drone footage still looked good. Was your friend on a ccm?

Nice quality on your video... makes me feel like I was there.

Nice 👍

Hi guys.. great to follow your adventures.

Very jellie. One of these days I'll be on a bike in this neck of the woods.

Promo-SM 😏

Hi guys, great to see your north island trip. And we've been catching up and enjoying your earlier films. Come and see us in the UK when you get there. Jacki and chris.

What program are you using for your map animation DaVinci Resolve? Absolutely looks amazing.
