Coffee Break By The Macquarie River In Central NSW Australia

taking a coffee break along side the MacQuarie river in Central NSW Australia

Nice one Warro. I recognise this spot from two of your old clips - one with CB125F and one with Halcyon reborn. I'm interested in this GB350, but am determined to wait until they bring in some gloss colours (or a 500 version!). No question the reborn is a better looker, but the RE dealer network is poor, so if you breakdown far from home on a RE, you are on your own. Whereas there's always a Honda dealer nearby...

[@ridewithwarro]

to get to this location it was an easier ride in on both bikes mentioned BUT hard rough going on final run to the river. last wednesday on the gb350 it was rough going in as my previous clip showed but the drop to the river had been graded so no-where near as dicey...lol check out my previous clip and you see fb350 running along at 70/80 kph on the dirt and very stable plus i ran whole trip with traction control on too. bit of a hard call which would be better overall as both are good bikes. but in out of the way long distance runs id say the gb350 would be hard to beat

[@andrewgreen6060]

@@ridewithwarro What's happening Warro? I'm sure I'm not the only one missing your clips!!!!!

[@ridewithwarro]

@@andrewgreen6060 maybe...or maybe not...lol well on this trip i had a sort of sore throat and some-how picked up some type of URV infection - so next day i felt stuffed. a few days later went to the dr's after the tests he said nothing he can give for an upper respiratory infection so stay out of the cold and just wait it out. so im totally out of riding commission and have really no choice but wait it out till i feel i can take the risk. sounds a bit dramatic but i think if i did ride out in the cold-got into another coughing fit and have other issues then -id say it would be party over for me...lol i might go through some old files as id like to put up my 16,000 klm sports car road trip through centre of aust i did a few years back. some interesting landmarks and other stuff like local wildlife etc. might do that while i wait this out ....thats my plan appreciate the fact you inquired too. ...you could say FIRST..lol all the best!

[@andrewgreen6060]

@@ridewithwarro Well.....all the best, and get well soon!!! Don't know the Nmax but thought your Vespa would be enough scooters... each to their own! Road trip clips could be interesting. Hope there's a bit of bike content.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@andrewgreen6060 i still have lots of bike ride content ive never aired. mainly ride runs but still late model bikes. i may do a few of those

[@findingneutral]

Wow... what a perfect place to enjoy the GB and a coffee. GB is really cool looking with those chunky tires and bit of road dust. Cool drone footage. Thanks for sharing that beautiful place with us.

[@ridewithwarro]

Thanks 👍

[@norsehall309]

G'day Warro, that's a fantastic looking spot, should have taken your fly rod as their would be some nice big trout in the river, I'm going on a ride tomorrow Sunday with the bike club, we have had a day of rain 26mm rain but today fun sun 🌞🌞 and the same tomorrow only frost in the morning, cheers mate, keep safe, Neil 🤠.

[@ridewithwarro]

not a bad area indeed and more like cod territory as i know they catch the odd big one there. nice and peaceful day too. still cold and wet and windy here so rides are out for me for a few days. all the best!

[@paulstoker7650]

Huge thumbs up Beautiful area.

[@ridewithwarro]

Big thanks

[@chrisweeks6973]

Isn't it nice to get out into the quiet of the bush, Warro? Great location, photos and footage. 👍

[@ridewithwarro]

Yes, thanks. nice area to ride. although the road was a bit on the rough side.all the best!

[@bernardmitchell]

I know that spot very well. My old man and I used to go fishing down along there many years ago now

[@ridewithwarro]

That's awesome

[@voltairedentotalenkrieg5147]

you're so lucky to be able to get one of those GB350s, we can't get them here in Europe

[@ridewithwarro]

pretty good bike to ride so happy there. goes great. sorry to here not available over there

[@stevesanelli90]

What a beautiful place to chill out & enjoy the sunshine Warro! Nothing beats the peaceful atmosphere. Fantastic!

[@ridewithwarro]

Couldn't agree more! was very quiet down there but a rather steep ride in and out

[@Jonathan-L]

Fully agree with you Steve ... but there's nothing like being on your own in the natural goodness of the Australian bush with your bike and having a one-man picnic. I'm looking forward to the day when Warro brings a metal detector and finds a huge gold nugget the size of a Royal Enfield 500 piston.

[@Jonathan-L]

Biscuits? Bah, I wanted pikelets!!!

[@ridewithwarro]

that could be an option next trip...lol

[@daintree2455]

...absolutely and home made ones at that...actually puftaloons made on an open fire and with shitloads of proper butter and plum jam.

[@Jonathan-L]

@@daintree2455 Puftaloons? Never heard of those. Sounds like a wacky name for a rock band of the 1960s. Or politicians in 2024 :)

[@daintree2455]

@@Jonathan-L...definitely politicians...no sometimes called johnnycakes God knows why by kinda like a fried scone. Bushies and ringers used to make them way back...taste fantastic.

[@pmay222]

bit desolate but love the solitude... nice scenery... would it be worth spinning a few lures through that water..? any fish there..?

[@ridewithwarro]

the better eating fish in this river are the COD which quite a few people catch. I've never tried myself but one day.....

[@AG-si2wt]

Hi Warro! I have been enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing. I live in Orange and know the lovely rural areas well. I just got my L’s and looking to buy a Scram 411 to go on trips like this to get away. Looking for advice… Where do you get your RE’s serviced (the nearest RE Dealer is 3 hours drive) or do you do it yourself?

[@ridewithwarro]

well if you buy the 411 i would make sure you return to dealer for first service and after that its up to you. at least you'll keep your warranty or if you like suzuki vstrom 250 sx's local dealer has them for $6500 great bike i own one and well worth buying. no travelling for the services either

[@dondle2]

Lovely part of the world Warro.

[@ridewithwarro]

thanks. was a bit windy on the way in but pretty calm once there. maybe not topday as its been raining here 24 hours straight

[@dondle2]

@@ridewithwarro At least it keeps the dust down. 🤪

[@shadowdove3250]

I wish I could do these types of trips, just getting out of Sydney east coast takes over an hour, then 2 or 3 hours to get to a nice tranquil place without any people, then the return trip, it turns into an 8 hour trip, which is way to much for me. Not to mention the Sydney tolls which don't even speed the process up much but charge an arm and a leg. Great vid!

[@ridewithwarro]

keep that up and i will be depressed...lol yeah on another note nice area and about 45 minutes id say to gt there. i thught there wou be a few here but not the case. prety quie and no coplints my side either

[@dashamac]

Get yourself a stainless steel mug. That way when you tap your spoon, you won't chip the brim of the mug. lol. But seriously, those last still photos looked great, very clear, and the colours were brilliant. Cheers.

[@ridewithwarro]

good tip...lol great to hear you liked the photos too

[@stup1299]

There's a lot to be said for this retirement lark ! Lovely place for a brew and midweek in the countryside is something I can now do and not just dream about. I must admit I do like the styling of that Honda. It has exactly what the Hunter is missing. Not sure what but it just looks right.

[@ridewithwarro]

i think it was a nice spot to pull over. just a bit on the rough side road wise to get in there. new tyres worked a treat too -great grip!

[@bobd4442]

Hi Warro- was there a video where you talked about changing the front sprocket to 13T? How many teeth before the change? Keep going mate, love your work.

[@ridewithwarro]

running the 13t now, lotbetter bike to ride. easy fit. out on centre stand/ put in 1st/pull shifter/2 bolts on cover. remove cover and undo sprocket. fit sprocket adjust chain. buy on ebay eBay item number:314092946760

[@bobd4442]

@@ridewithwarro Many thanks (esp ebay number). I reckon your mod would make the ride better. Don't really need 5th as an overdrive. Got the link to the XR600. PS did the new sprocket affect the speedo?

[@ridewithwarro]

@@bobd4442 bike is gutless without mod and easuly better with mod. all for $30. didn't notice any speedo issues or abs fault

[@peterbowley6484]

G'day Warro, how does the GB350 compare power wise too the Royal Enfield 350

[@ridewithwarro]

its a pretty close call stock but i'd still say gb350 but i added a 13t front sprocket to the gb350 from ebay for $30 so it would easily beat the classic. ...easily!

[@geraldscott4302]

Not about this video, but do you know if a tank from a 2016 or earlier Classic 500 will fit a 2013 B5 Bullet 500 without any serious modifications?

[@ridewithwarro]

although i had both those years in the bikes its something i never tried.

[@klano8443]

Hi Warro, i love your tranquil videos , how come you don't use a more trail type bike for places like that, again not criticizing just curious.

[@ridewithwarro]

mainly i think because the classic 350 reborn gets a bit more interest on the channel. later on i will be taking out the suzuki vstrom 250 Sx. its set up now for these tyre of runs but from past rides....not much interest in it so overall its a hard call...lol all the best!
