Thanks Josh! Well done, epic adventure and a massive effort putting them the vidos together!!!! 💪 Cheers Lukey

[@rexgabsch7351]

Rippa adventure/ride/effort 🤙 to both of you 🙏

[@budget-adventure]

Epic trip man, thanks for sharing. The high country takes a beating from you, there’s no way to prepare for it. Luckily your few drops didn’t end in injury because it can get a lot worse real quick. Also great to see the 400 take you everywhere without issue.

[@MrXrssv1]

Bloody awesome boys, massive hill climbs and those damn rocks, but you made it. Thanks for the adventure, cheers 🍻🍻

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks 👍🏼 It was a mission but we got it done! 🤙🏼

[@ejconquer3468]

Thanks Josh. Gr8 work. Will add some of these tracks to the bucket list. Legends!!

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks for tuning in 👍🏼

[@jefftaswelder9154]

AWESOME trip Josh 😁👍love to do a trip like that buuuut me tooo lazy and broke 🤣😒 keep well Sir and looking foward for more videos when you are recovered 😉🍺

[@ShadowVonChadwick]

Looks great, hope I can get there next year. 👍 I switched over to a KLX400e from a well sorted 250s/300r, a lot more grunt, but the vibes are travelling up a shallow seat into my spine, I need to get it fixed with good foam and cover. Tank & suspension are on the list but not urgent as I also have a Himalayan coming in the next few weeks. Mainly for long trips, but want to keep the 400 for the tough stuff. Might not be the roof of the world but still a stunning vista of our high country. Time for a cuppa. 😊 Carry on guys, love your stuff & some great footage 👌

[@MotoBloke1]

Fantastic series Mate. Awesome riding and camera work. There's no denying that you and Lance have great chemistry and both of your riding compliments each other. Ride safe and keep the videos coming.

[@_JoshJB_]

thanks mate 👍🏼

[@dr650supermoto3]

Awesome finish to a sensational trip mate. Was down there at Tom groggin and mt pinabar at Xmas time it’s such a beautiful place 👍🇦🇺💪

[@_JoshJB_]

It’s a beautiful spot to camp that’s for sure. Thanks for watching

[@simovision5894]

Great stuff Josh some of your best work. Your voice over sections worked well. I have done the cape and high country and would say the High country is definitely a better ride. I best get to making my Spur track vid after Billy Goats. You would have loved how crazy steep that track was.

[@neilsreal]

So good those views are incredible, awesome episode 👌

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks 👍🏼

[@mattswadling4572]

Well done 👏🏽 That was a great series. Am interested to hear what kind of maintenance/checks you do after such an epic ride.

[@JohnSer33]

Absolutely loving these videos. Although I for one, would be super keen for some easier GPX tracks for solo trips.

[@Two_legs_or_Wheels]

Awesome work bro.

[@syntec_101]

awesome

[@jamessparkes5492]

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks mate 🤙🏼

[@81clive]

Enjoying this series🏞👌

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks 😁

[@markustube]

Another fantastic series! An epic and sometimes brutal ride for sure, but you and Lance didn't let anything stop you. Great job, and thanks for bringing us along! 👍

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@cyphon4280]

Really enjoyed this series. Brought back memories of my trip last year. Feel free to hit me up if you want more upskilling at Glasshouse. I can help you get lost there 😂.

[@_JoshJB_]

Haha thank dude! I need to get back there for a ride soon

[@scottmoore9215]

Great job guys well done. 😊

[@adambell3175]

This series was awesome. Every episode was epic. Can't wait for the next one you do with Lance. You're slowly ticking off some of Australia's most iconic rides. Perhaps Flinders Ranges next!!!!

[@_JoshJB_]

Sounds good to me 🤣 See what happens

[@sammybeevg]

Banger as always

[@rileyvosper411]

gopro footage looks beautiful.

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks ☺️

[@raratate]

Good stuff

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks 👍🏼

[@douglassdunn4775]

Clearly I don't need to say anything more. Touchy touchy.

[@jw8556]

Probably running DUDLOP 606's mate been riding those high country tracks since the early 80s don't see what the problem is it's pretty easy riding any time it's not snowing

[@chilla1296]

Hey mate enjoyed the series. I covered very similar ground exactly 1 year ago on my DRZ. I live at the bottom end of the Goldy, if your ever keen for a ride hit me up.

[@_JoshJB_]

Thanks mate 👍🏼 Yea nice, I’m looking at organising some group rides around the goldy eventually. Just taking a bit of a break at the moment and then should be back into it again 👍🏼

[@scottyyy3608]

Thankyou for a great series. You struggled on the steep hills...next time would lower your gearing?

[@_JoshJB_]

I sure did 😂 Yea 100% I would. I contemplated doing it for this ride but thought I’d make do. Never again will I make that mistake.

[@TallyHoTech]

Great video. What was the front tyre you good grip with?

[@thegaviscon1419]

Have you had a ride of lances bike with the 440cc kit yet.

[@_JoshJB_]

No I haven’t mate. He offered me a go in the high country but the way I was riding I turned it down 😂

[@malavivius]

Hey Mate, Is the Kreiga system you use on the DRZ400e using just the standard OS base? I see they make a few different bases for particular bike models. Cheers 👍

[@_JoshJB_]

Yea mate it’s just the standard one 👍🏼

[@malavivius]

Thanks legend @@_JoshJB_

[@kostasrestas]

well man , i see some previous videos ,with mt09 .. I have one T7 and im thinkin to sell ot for MT09 ...But still thinkin and thinkin again and again ... If you can have only ONE bike ,witch bike you keep ???

[@_JoshJB_]

The DRZ of course 😁

[@aussieboi1993]

Hey Josh, you've probably been asked a few times but what size sprokets are you running and how do you find them on both road and dirt?

[@_JoshJB_]

15-44 is what I’ve got. It was less than ideal for a high country adventure though. Wouldn’t recommend it for that but for general adventure riding it’s good 👍🏼

[@aussieboi1993]

@_JoshJB_ what was bad about it in the high country

[@_JoshJB_]

@@aussieboi1993 it’s too tall for the steep tracks. I was in first gear for most climbs and in some sections I had to ride the clutch a lot. I should of put it back towards the stock gearing which would of been better for the steep climbs
