Dontcha love, the DRZs. Whether slow bush bashin, or, high speed hard-pack cruisin, just such great little, capable, bikes. You guys are havin way too much fun, lucky buggers. 😉

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Yeah they are a top bike mate. Thanks mate, we had a blast.

[@mamamiddleagedmotorcyclead6643]

Great vid Lance! Really enjoying the content! Keep it going! MAMA central is following keenly!

[@roleyrevs_DRZs]

Awesome Videos. I am really enjoying your latest outing. Keep up the good work

[@JAOM]

ah you are that long leg guy with fluorescent yellow pant. Both you and Josh are awesome mate. Just subscribed. It is always better to see the same route from 2 different perspective. Good going mate, I am loving it. You Aussies are fun.

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Haha that’s me. Did you see us up there? Thanks for the support.

[@DraughtHorseMan]

Great video!

[@AusMoto]

Another great ep, Lance, this is shaping up to be an epic and memorable trip (even though we know how it ends 😥) Bloody GoPro's though...mine does the same with the mic where it will start using the onboard mic randomly...

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Thanks buddy. Sssssh no one knows how it ends yet. Might be a big practical joke 🫤 Yeah and it always happens at the good spots. I used three GoPro 9 on this trip and they all played up.

[@Chris-yt7nw]

Haha, This is the most random thing ever but I did the same trip a few months ago. I fell over in the sand and got my leg stuck under the bike at the same spot as you did. It took me 20 minutes to dig my leg out from under the stupid bike. So good to see I wasn't the only one getting stuck in that spot of deep sand.. Haha, ride safe brother!

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Haha really. That is random. It happened so quickly and was so stupid. Lucky I got my bike up real quickly and my knee came good. I feel your pain though mate 👍

[@_JoshJB_]

Nice ep mate 🤙🏼 I had a good laugh watching me running back to my bike at the Stewart river. It was sinking in the sand 😂

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Haha yeah I saw that. Now you know how I felt at every bloody river. Lol.

[@mikemale3034]

You both making good content, Lance what tent are you running

[@mikemale3034]

Edit, what tent are you both running

[@_JoshJB_]

@@mikemale3034 mine is a Denali zephyr 1

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

@@mikemale3034 thanks mate. They don’t make mine anymore but the new and improved version is the Denali Explore 2. Pretty much the same thing.

[@internet155]

Blessed

[@simonwedgwood967]

Classic adventure motorcyclists conundrum...you want to admire the scenery, but as soon as you take your eyes off the road it bites you. Great video 👍

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

It happens all the time hey. Lucky I have strong 🦴 lol

[@MegaRich7]

Beautiful red dust? You should be a salesman.😂

[@DanielSmith-vp5vn]

Nice work lance. Great vid and great riding.

[@juicefreak1969]

Top video…well done great to watch …be safe ..

[@marksteele4364]

Wow you guys are making it look easy....well done mate

[@volvogt21]

Looking good! Sounds like the knee survived. Nothing worse than an injury mid ride.

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

I was super worried hey. It felt terrible for a few hours but it definitely came good. Very lucky.

[@MikMech]

1:47 Looks like someone's sump got ripped out?

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Haha I didn’t notice that. Your probably spot on though.

[@budget-adventure]

Living the dream man. It’s deep creek crossings that make me hesitant about taking a bike up there, will be interesting to see how you go on the old Tele track. But the other crossings look mostly low and the roads seem dry so they must of had a good dry season this year. What map app are you using on your phone?

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Yeah we took the gamble and went early in the season and it paid off. All rivers were spot on for us. Very lucky indeed we were.

[@robertmcdougall6143]

Looks like loads of fun guys enjoy-just wondering what gearing (sprockets) you guys are using for your trip? And is it the same on both bikes?

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Thanks mate. We both had 15-44, worked just fine overall.

[@robdotcom71]

Correct me if I am wrong... but aren't all those rivers you crossed freshwater? Freshwater crocs aren't all that dangerous... unless cornered.

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Mate no idea really. I do know that salt water crocs can do just fine in fresh water if need be though.

[@6226superhurricane]

saltwater crocs are named that because they can survive in saltwater due to being able to regulate salt in their body with glands on their tongue. they can happily live in freshwater or saltwater. they can be 100km inland or 100's of km out to sea.

[@tonyanderson4774]

@@The_Apprentice_Adventurerplenty of salties at Kalpowar and Hann crossing. Wise move to stay out of the water. In fact anywhere in lakefield it’s wise not to trust the water. Last year we saw a 4m salty in freshwater well inland on the Mitchell. Basically in the middle. Pretty wild when you consider the Mitchell starts at the back of Mareeba and runs right across the lower cape and tips into the gulf at Kowanyama. If you think your safe because it’s fresh water, your playing a dangerous game in Cape York. Love the vids. Spent a lot of years on the cape. Ridden and driven to the tip many times, never get sick of it. Once went from Coen to Punsand for dinner and home to Coen the next day. Love cape York.

[@garykennedy9914]

Yes beautiful red dust! We have it here in The Mojave Desert also👍. Great ride thanks for sharing. Not many river crossings!

[@Tassiedave]

Going well guys, definitely jealous. My wife is coeliac and I understand your challenges on the road. How’s your luggage capacity Lance? Would you say it’s okay or a bit more side pannier capacity be nice like Josh?

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Mate I’d love Josh’s setup. Having the weight up high really affects how one can ride. I’ll likely upgrade my setup once my current bags are trashed.

[@Tassiedave]

Thanks Lance, understood. Appreciate your reply.@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer

[@zrx1100zz]

I may show up on your doorstep some day and say let's go here's my money 😁🥃🛵🛵🛵☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Haha maybe one day that might just happen.

[@OnyabikeMike]

What an adventure 👍👍🍻🍻
