If 300 feet or over you don't. But I have permission as long as I don't go near the cows

I have seen a gyro with a Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 engine and the owner said it was good (very powerful)

Hey man, thats awesome, thanks for sharing! The bike in this video is a 1992, which my best friend and long time mentor bought brand new back in his day and rode the wheels off. I used to dream of this bike every day until I had the chance to buy it from him for $1000. I registered it and used it as daily transport as well as heaps of bush riding and adventures for about 2 years until the driveshaft teeth stripped inside the front sprocket. Sold it for $500 to someone who planned to cafe racer it :( XR600 is by far the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden (more than adventure bikes!)

@@omeobandit9928 No problem! The 1986 color scheme was my favorite of the XR600's! I walked into a Honda dealership looking to buy a used dirt bike and when I saw "Clementine" it was like love at first sight! I paid too much for her but oh well! I think I paid $1600. But it was only $100 a month after the down payment. I definitely got my money's worth out of her! I used to go camping every weekend and I would put 100 miles on her in a weekend, easily! I also used to take her down to Rocky Point in Mexico and cruise the beaches and ride wheelies up the sand dune! What a blast that was! Ride up to the bar on the beach, park her on the patio and go in and have a few drinks and then hit the sand dune! Oh, the good ol' days! I rode the wheels off of her for about four years before something started rattling inside the engine. I even had her street legal for a few months. I ended up getting paralyzed from the chest down from a bad accident on a 1985 Honda 200X ATC on May 21 of 2000. So I sold "Clementine" for $500. Definitely a legend of a dirt bike! Take care man and God bless!

@@krisjato Wow dude! How is your outlook on life since you've been paraplegic? Can you operate a steering wheel alright? What if you had a buggy with the throttle and brakes on the steering wheel in paddle form? Great story btw, sounds like heaven riding up to the bar for a cold drink before hitting the dunes and beaches. Wow. Why do people slave their careers away in the city when you can live like that :D

@@omeobandit9928 Well, first of all, I'm quadriplegic, not paraplegic. I would give anything to be able to use my hands! For the first several months or so after my accident I didn't want to live! I stopped eating and just laid in bed waiting to die. I am 6" 4' and I got down to 115 lbs. I finally snapped out of it and decided that I had two choices. I could either be bitter and miserable or I could make the best of a bad situation and see what I could learn to do. I made a special controller, using an airplane style dual joystick transmitter I wired my RC cars so that the throttle and steering were both on the same joystick. Then I got a piece of rubber fuel line from the hardware store to make the joystick bigger and taller. So driving my RC cars, trucks and boats is just like driving my wheelchair. After that I started getting out more and started an RC collection. Since then which was probably early 2001 my outlook has been pretty good. I cannot operate a steering wheel, especially now 25 years later because my body is getting very stiff and I'm just having a lot more problems. Yeah, it was really nice taking ol' "Clementine" down to Rocky Point and cruising the beaches, the sand dune and bar hopping on the dirt bike. LOL! Thanks for your reply! Take care and have a great day!

I paid $7000 for this one. It needed some work, a new rotorhead and some other stuff.

@@Zaphodbeeblebrox01 this is a gyro, it's very low maintenance and simple and it can land without engine (I've had a few emergency landings before). They cost $62 a year to register in Australia and this one burns 20 litres per hour or up to 25 if revving hard.

@ I know what it is I remember seeing them in the late 70S and no you’re not landing this without power unless you lose power about 2 meters above ground haha. This is a death machine never claim anything else even the original creator Acknowledged this

@ Completely wrong, I have had the engine quit at 100ft and at 800ft, both times I glided down and landed perfectly. Sometimes I fly for hours just doing 0 power landing drills over and over. Don't you understand that the main rotor flies with 0 power anyway? Can you see any drive shaft going to the rotor? ;)

@ Brother you’re arguing against basic physics not me haha. So therefore I highly doubt everything you’ve said.

@Zaphodbeeblebrox01 so when my engine quit at 800ft it was all a dream and I died and am now in an alternative universe? Have you researched how a gyrocopter flies? Is every video of a gyro doing an engine off landing faked by AI?

@@mowalton8806 nope

I bought mine second hand. I would recommend getting a bensen plan and slightly modifying it to have suspension and perhaps a lower thrust line if needed (drop tail like the yellow gyro in my previous videos)

Agreed, less and less people are picking up these homemade machines. Mine cost $62 (aud) a year to register and is cheaper than a car. Car engine, cheap and simple maintenance. I have this and the other gyro with a pod and windscreen.. but this open one is the most fun!!!

@@omeobandit9928 Damn! That's pretty much pocket change, with a little bit of exaggeration. Honestly I do not know how the laws here would be about flying something homemade, but my little crafting and postapoc loving brain loves that self-built flight is possible, hah! Looking forward to more vids from ya. Take care lad!

Was his name max tate? (the auto electrician)

@omeobandit9928 yeh, max. He moved to Vic for a while, last time I caught up with him he was living outback of Darwin

@@Gusto0172 He's still flying, lives up in wagait beach, NT. Check my other videos, I've got a few with him. He's a good mate :)

@@omeobandit9928 Thanks for that. Yeh, that is where I caught up with him, at Wagait. Do say hi to him from Angus, next time you see him. By the way, where are you based? I am in Indonesia, Aus base is Cairns. Cheers.

@@Gusto0172 will do, my friend. cheers from coober pedy, SA!

@@chimpychimp4921 yes it's very safe flying country out here, many places to land if an engine fails 🤩🫡

@@omeobandit9928 Well, there's also the added bonus that you have room to take off if you have to land! My gyro can LAND in a little field or a generous clearing. But then I'm, y'know, stuck. Lol.

@@chimpychimp4921 Yes, i know the struggle 😅 but as long as you can walk away with 2 arms and 2 legs, thats why gyros rule!

@@omeobandit9928 Amen!

@@vinniemon-i5h good point, I should zip tie a spare pair of thongs to the seat next time just for emergencies 😜

@ and a gallon of water could save your life and a knife or some sort of weapon for unexpected predators

@@vinniemon-i5h now we are sounding more and more like mad Max in the apocalypse 🤩🫡

@@humanbean3 I plan to make some teaching videos, just need to find a microphone first that I can speak with 🫡

@@scotttaxdal5297 the wind was strong but smooth and steady, I just enjoy tossing the machine around as it feels relaxing. I agree with you, they don't look like an flying machine at all 😂

@omeobandit9928 Thanks for the ride!

Thanks ramjet, it actually wasn't gusty, it was a steady but strong wind. I like to toss it around a bit because it feels relaxing and keeps me entertained 😂👍

@@mindfulmunchkin1215 not at all, Its a pleasure to fly 🕊️

@@omeobandit9928 keep living the dream

@@mindfulmunchkin1215 thankyou sir 🫡

@@joshuakerr9194 yes sir, great engine

Action gives an equal reaction, there is NO sideways/turning momentum. The vertical rotor is NOT DRIVEN by a motor, it spins because of air moving over the blades, creating lift when it moves forward. The only powered part is the horizontal pushing propellor.

@@rocksparadox Thank you!

The bike is designed for it and this is well under its limit. Tyres and brake pads are replaceable :)

thankyou sir

this video leaves out a lot of context mate 😂
