Back on the saddle after 4 months!

[@larry6941]

Hey Mark, this was why I started to watch and follow you nearly 5years ago. Back to simple and unpretentious Mark adventures, not the sponsors and social media expectations. I mis the Mark and Nay adventures and the home DIY’s etc. Secondly condolences on the loss of your Dad. Keep yourself and your life simple and uncomplicated. Keep away from naked flames and get out and do an Aussie Nachos. Bloody Ripper👍👍 and Cool Bananas 🍌🍌

[@AdamSuperAC]

Two wheels.. a check up, from the neck up. It clears the head. Best therapy mate ! 👍😎👍

Fantastic to see out en about on the bike again Mark! Good On Ya!!! Here’s to many more!!! Cheers, Graham from Gods Own Country!!!

[@Jukithesuzuki]

Hey Mark, I’m happy to hear you have been back in the saddle. I haven’t been on my bike as much as I like this year. I’m kinda down in a funk. Sadly our season is pretty much done here (New Brunswick Canada). We have lows near -5 daily now as winter is quickly approaching. Just wanted to say thanks for the content, it’s what keeps us going through our cold winter months. I bought my first bike last year (I’m 44 now), I bought a 23’ DRZ 400S. Man I love that thing. Keep on keeping on brother!

[@fishfillot]

[@richardvillar340]

Bike therapy! Good on your mate for getting you out and about! He should of roosted you one time for standing him up. LOL! Good to see you on two wheels.

[@tjracingteam]

Good to see you fellas out on your trusty steeds. I'm keen to get over that way soon. Some of the best flowing tracks around. Enjoy guys. Thankyou Mark for all the flames and lovelyness. Lol

[@Rad55900]

Hey Mark and Angus. Great to see you back out and about. Myself I’ve been off the bike for just over a month after two decent offs that fractured my back and tore up my shoulder pretty badly. Hopefully back out in the next few weeks. Keep on keeping on lads 👊

[@smittyk7810]

Its great to see Mark get some two wheeled therapy and good on your Angus for providing the needed motivation that only a good mate can provide. I forgot to say my condolences to you Mark and your family for the loss of your father. I am sure he will be glad to see you Keep on keeping on. I'm still healing and still planning to sell my bikes after the failed solo bucket list ride.

[@darrellmeganfoxall8830]

Welcome back, great video. Thanks for everything you've shared with us . Remember always stay upright..👍

[@pinkiewerewolf]

It's great to see you & Angus oot & aboot! I've been gearing up my 23' 501, the new T7 and bought a 2017 Royal Enfield Bullet 500. Sold my 890 Adventure to a nice local guy.

[@malspitty6424]

I'm so happy for you Mark, just to get out and about to ride your troubles away. I missed your rides and antics. I ride to work five days a week, rain, hail or shine. I must make an effort on a weekend to get out again.👍

[@matthewcoyne7962]

Great to see you on the bike again Mark! Watched this last night and went fuck it! it’s been to long, bailed on work and rode down the great ocean road today. You’ve just got to get on it and do it 👍

[@whiskybiker4505]

Hi Mark, great to see you on a bike again 👍. What I've been up to: buzzy with the kids, moving house and doing a lot of diy (lots of diy to be done in the next months).

[@scintilladesign4187]

[@outonthetracks]

Good to see you back out again Mark. Been quite for us, haven't been out on the DRZ since we did the crew ride at Anglesea on the Kings Birthday. Sorry you missed that one, it was a grouse!

[@padre27]

I’m a maxi scoot man….been riding out in country Australia and some coastal rides. Gearing up for a ride across Australia in October!! Raising money for men’s mental health. Come join me!

[@williamgulyas9199]

So glad you were able to get back out there Mark. Life gets hard at times like you know, but it's awesome having great people close to you that can help you through it all. One ride is the first step to many more. As always another enjoyable video.

[@1962clarky]

Nice to see you out on the bike, Mark.

[@RekimNZ]

Great to see the DR and the Unicorn are back on the telly :)

[@billy4rocks]

I’m a big fan of these types of vids, just chilling, shooting the sh*t. Good to see you back on the bike.

[@Tales_Of_Moto_Adventures]

welcome back mate, a pleasure to watch as always.

[@BlakesPipes]

Good to see you both again. Take your time, it's fucking winter and it's soon be over and then it will be winter for me. Enjoyed the simplicity of two men out getting back to off road life.

[@RobVespa]

Riding for decades, but just added my first adventure bike to the garage after an "everything hiatus" secondary to... life - A BMW R1100GS (it was between this and an R100GSPD - I wanted to stay mostly analog). While it's a large bike and may not be the best for trails, I'm hoping to go camping and on longer trips - via scenic routes. See the sights and explore. Hope it happens. All the best.

[@joeeasterling5652]

Mark, i pray you find your way. The date I am writing this is 08/30/24. I lost my mom 4 weeks ago tomorrow, the day before, exactly a month ago today i was told i was going to have my right leg amputated below the knee. It is tough to deal with these things as you know. I haven't been outdoors in 3 weeks and have a long way to go until I can walk again with a prosthetic. I can get through this as you can. Just keep getting up and doing what you can, and soon enough, you will be able to function again. It will never be the same, but you can persevere. Good luck.

[@phillipscott9998]

Good to see you back mark

[@petertelford4900]

Loved it mate 15 minutes in and sounds like zombie movie " we got walkers" 😂 great to see you back on the bike mate .

[@badyride909]

Happy to see you from Chile,grerat¡

[@charlesspadowski5846]

Hello Mark. Great to see you back on the bike. The mental struggle is real for me also. Some days I talk myself out of a fun day on the DR650 because I can't get motivated to gear up and pack food for the day. Sounds silly I know. Eventually when I do prepare and go, I feel regret for not doing it more often. It's something I am definitely working on. Nothing beats a day or even half day up in the Watagans NSW just me, the bike and back-pack with hot drink, hamburger or sausage sandwich ingredients and cooking gear set up on a hill side somewhere with an awesome view.

[@trevorjones4463]

Hi mate good to see you back on the road I have 6 months two go had a hart attack but on my way back 👍

[@TheGravelBadger]

Great to see you back out, been a while for me too, life getting in the way as usual. Last ride out here in QLD was brilliant though on the T7, had a blast in the glasshouse mountains area 👍

[@jonnothetrucker]

Sure has been a hot minute mate for sure ! Really glad to see you still keepin on 😊

[@alexfladung]

Good on ya Mark!

[@paul4627]

Welcome back friend ! 🤜🤛

[@bung1e]

great to see you back.... did my 1st motorbike camp on the isle of wight (UK) last month on my Tiger 800 really enjoyed it and will be doing a lot more soon....

[@trevorjameson3213]

Mark, that was great. It was so much fun to go on a trail ride again, and great to see Allister again too. What happened to the KTM he used to have? The Gas Gas is cool though too. Anyway watching yall was like hanging out with old friends again, really enjoyed this video! I just got back to Texas from vacation in Colorado, tons of awesome dirt bike riding on some seriously sketchy mountain trails and I love that stuff! Me and my wife had a blast, lots of trout fishing too and nice and cool in the mountains. Now it's back to the insane heat of Texas and back to work! Have a good one!

[@stevenjohannesen88]

Another great conversation, and coffee stop I usually just take a thermos, so no mucking around with fires etc, took my Suzuki DL 650 , around a few fire trails in the Brisbane ranges near Anakie ,Victoria. Few nasty bog holes and rough tracks, keep on keeping on, good work Mark & Alister or Angus ? Cheers from Downunder 🦘🦘🦘❤️🇦🇺

[@SuHwak]

Just found your channel by the (it seems like your most popular video) review of the Suzuki C50 Boulevard, from 10 years ago :D Good to see you enjoying the ride again. I'm actually not a rider myself (yet), but hopefully within a year, and I was thinking a Suzuki c800/c50 might be great bike for me. Getting my first intro to riding for the drivers license tomorrow, lets gooo.

[@radadventure2606]

Good to see you back on the bike, mate!

[@GB.49]

PS, this is a Cracking Video with you Two Vagrants!!! Bloody Great!!! Graham.

[@slakk5093]

Good to see a ride vid! 🤜🤛

[@biyaherongmotorista6924]

i like the adventure watching from manila

[@JimmyCall]

The most important aspect to a good channel is personalities and conversation as all experience the video topic. That's what people want. You don't need to just serve up motorbikes & rides.

[@NzJohny]

Been periodically checking up on ya. Chers mate

[@robjones2852]

Glad to see you back in the saddle Mark...but...I wouldn't recommend deep, dry, sand on your comeback tour--it might-just-ever-so-slightly: Wreck the magic.

[@RealHooksy]

Not sure I wanna be heading up “big sister alley”, but hey there’s not much to do in Bendigo I guess?😎

[@wobblysauce]

Watching the bush change from week to week in some places.

[@graygone2627]

Been waiting on all the accessories for my Gassa 700😊

[@holisticaustralia]

Well... I'm glad you asked, my last ride was with MadDog Josh MVDBR at Kenilworth state forest, me on my KLR 650 Hopper, and Josh on his Flying Pumkin KTM 690 @Kwakka Saké Adventure ❤ l9ve your work Mark.. Ha looks like my gloves 😅 Novel Over... ✌️😉

[@bruceaskin9645]

Dont get to ride that often now, but I still go bush at every opportunity. The cuppa on the fire is what its all about. Having two boys with disabilities , I opt for the baja bug, gets me most places. Not quite a 4WD, but a shit load more fun. Want a change of scenery, come down to Tassy for some bush riding. And stay clear of national parks, they charge you an arm and a leg and restrict everything you do. Forestry Tasmania is the go, unless you are in the way of a logging opperation, you can do what ever you like and no one will give a shit. Camp , drink , have a fire , bring pets , just dont cut trees down , thats the only no no. On a personal level dont leave rubbish behind , I f---in hate that.

[@zerotheklr650]

I've been playing F1 on my new 55" TV. And riding my bike around town.

[@bugman5337]

Hi Mark what's that little fire pit brand you have Mate looks a Winner Cheers 🏍👍

[@craigbaxter3026]

I've been to Naracoorte from Maffra weekend catchup with mates 1400km trip on the R18.

[@billpeat8984]

Rode the T7 through Tatong to Tolmie, was hoping to ride over to Lake Buffalo ,there's always next week.

[@cliff1551]

11:58 and er mark took 5he 701 LR out round the thetford loop in the UK at the weekend ,we had good weather for once

[@maxflight777]

701 is such a great bike !

[@MicOutdoors]

Alistair.......... you're the bloke other blokes need around in time of need. Hats off to you mate. We all need an Alistair in our life.

[@AdrianPrust-eh9np]

Work and fuck all else, went out with mate in Sugarloaf earlier this month, need to go out more. Local to Bendigo, got myself a WR250F last year, love it.

[@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449]

Hay glad your on the bike mate , riding is fantastic for mental health “ as we know “ but I have even been on a ride that wanted to come home “ the black dog was strong that day “ , 3 years ago I almost died in a motorcycle accident. Will keep it short “ hopefully “ 😂😂😂, many years ago I got out of the drug life because I found faith in God , you know that Jesus fella , and now I have a peace in my life that keeps the black dog away ! , not saying I don’t have crap 💩 days BUT the peace that God gives in that is well unbelievable, my marriage has never been better and I’m just trying ( with Jesus help to be a better man ) it’s not about being religious or church even it’s about having a chat with the man upstairs- but being fair- Dinkum about it . Anyway enjoy being back on the bike mate 👍

[@munter10]

Good on ya mate… Jesus is the answer!

[@MicOutdoors]

I'm coming up to two years of my dad passing. Still fucking sux but it's good to get out and keep the mind busy.

[@ozbulitsinces1996]

Im pretty keen on the gas gas es700 I just hate the fact there is no real motor protection and even with skid plate it bolts up to the motor 🤷 recipe for disaster. Hopefully one-day they fix that

[@KDSADV650]

Anyone able to point me in the right direction for these tracks. Stayed at one of the camp areas and rode but looks nothing like I was riding currently on a trip in mildura and was to camp and ride here on my south back home.

[@bruceaskin9645]

So easy this thing , then cant figure out how it goes together ha ha

[@ladytradiej8027]

I haven't watched this yet, actually i havent seen any of your videos, but I listen to your podcasts and you can add me to your 2.9% of female listeners in the 60 yr old age group. 😅

So...when did Alister become Angus? I definitely missed something....

[@DBmoto]

[@volvogt21]

Did Alastair change his name?

[@markrichardson8382]

Well, my DR650 is getting more road use than I like as my crew all ride BMW GS, DUCATI, HONDA & HARLEY DAVIDSON'S 😢. No-one wants the dirt (pussies) Anyways, I need other like minded riders with dirt orientations! FYI, looking at buying an AJP PR7 or Aprilia Tuareg and would love to hear ya thoughts about both on ya next podcast boys....
