Around Australia by Motorbike - Episode 1 - Three Big Things

This is not a new video, rather a re-upload with new music to address the copyright theft of the music on the original video.

[@robdotcom71]

Bloody copyright strikes are a pain in the arse.

[@abitofadetour7315]

@@robdotcom71 The original music was copyright free but third parties continually claim it as theirs. I have seen some songs with four different 'owners' in the two years since this video was published.

Loving your new video Steave. Stay safe. Look forward to next weeks episode…. 😊👍🚑

A few wheelstands would have been good to see . Nice one Hutch you should go around every year.

@@Hungry_Hunter Couldn’t agree more on the yearly lap idea, just need to get it past the finance committee!

lol, love the Billy Connolly quote, no doubt I will use it at a very inappropriate moment.

Which direction is the best, clockwise or anti clockwise when encounter headwinds.

[@abitofadetour7315]

@@3goldfinger I had no problems with the wind across the Nullarbor but the wind in the northern part of W.A. after I left Broome was fairly relentless and apparently that is quite common. I’ll do another lap one day in the opposite direction and report back.

Bugger. I thought you were going to do a trip on the new bike.

[@abitofadetour7315]

One day, but not this day. Sorry for getting you worked up for no reason!

[@grahamcairn8379]

@abitofadetour7315 it's algood. It just means people do really enjoy and appreciate your efforts.

[@andrewgroves4175]

At least you guys are on some decent machinery unlike some tossers that would attempt it on a Harley. Good luck to you and l look forward to all the good stuff to come.

[@chriscardwell7132]

I suggest you look up and read about Peter and Kay Forwood (both Australians) exploits before deciding who is a 'tosser'.

[@grahamglencorse307]

I just want to see if the road to Hells Gate has been graded since your last trip there 🤪

On the Queensland side, probably. On the NT side, I doubt it!

You're the bloke who bought the Himalayan 450 weren't you, if so, why didn't you take it?, because Petes on DR650 isn't he?, so the 450 and the 650 would have similar HP, and you would know good the himi would be for a long trip. EDIT: Just read your top comment and saw that this is an old vid, so disregard my comment, anyhow loved the vid though.

@@darrabase1 I started reading and was preparing a reply that talked about time machines etc. Pete’s bike is an original GS by the way. It’s a fun little thing to ride too, nothing like the current behemoths.
