Desert Motorcycle Adventure - full length

[@Nexus-6]

I love that little Honda CB500X ADV conversion. ❤️ Small, light, reliable and so much easier to handle in the sand and dunes.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Couldn't agree more!

[@MotoPhotoAdventures]

What a great adventure! Loved seeing what the Rally Raid CB500X could do! And the drone footage was spectacular!!!

[@RANALDO79]

Mate you have got to be the best story teller ever. I`ve watched all you videos over 10-15 times and still cant stop watching them. Keep doing what you doing.Nugget is just super to be around I reckon.

[@the_katman2181]

What a great ride. Beautiful country. And that little Honda is so impressive.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

We agree!

[@wendygerrish4964]

"We're in the middle of...." Most specular music and dance video I 've ever seen. Can't wait to get back down to show the family in NZ. You truly make the bestest xcountry m/c adventures ever, and..Australia rocks.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

thank you

[@boringbob9357]

John needs to be a regular, he is hilarious.

[@1mmickk]

If these movies are not on the TV that is a crime. Honestly some of the best docos Ive seen. I dont ride a motorbike either. You are a natural mate.

[@linwoodchatten6623]

Best part of the movie. “We work on KTMs everyday!” Buy yourself a Honda or Yamaha! Yup!!

[@pb8582]

The best way to cross the Simpson desert is not to ride a KTM...

[@aymanjoudar5425]

KTM, Made in China w Pride for sure /s

[@jordan_thegreatmuega3085]

Awesome people, Amazing Country, Fantastic Adventure, you guys inspired me a lot.. wonderful cinematography, worth my 50minutes to watch it..👍

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

thanks mate, that's all we wanted to achieve!

[@Null-zp3or]

It goes without saying for most but certainly the best Adventure biking channel in existence to date. The overall quality alone is astounding. Also: The audacity of them closing roads that they refuse to improve/pave. Plow through on principle alone

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

thanks Ricky. Telling stories is my passion.

[@reksubbn3961]

Love the final song. Fantastic editing. Seen it a few times now. A bit hard going through that sticky mud.

[@dustyroadsnl]

Loved it, as a viewer I can feel the friendship, the humor, the effort. Liked the footage with those drones that's a big extra.

[@GiantLoopMoto]

Bravo Dave! Great to watch it all as a single feature length film

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thank you Giant Loop. You've been a great support over the years. We've certainly tested out your gear and it gets our stamp of approval!

[@KellyWhitehouse]

Just loving the feature length format. Great job.

[@harryvbr]

In my opinion an awesome video with good music and clear comments. Using a drone is spectacular. What a scenery.

[@Niki_Parvanov]

awesome footage, bloody good job, great vid/movie

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thank you kindly

[@RiderMark]

It's truely amazing to see such challanging adventures. What inspires me most is to stay positive and have a good amount of humor. I really want to travel adventures like these in my life!

Really enjoyed that one! You're a great story teller. I've done the Birdsville Track but that was many levels above!

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thanks mate.

"Not the desert trip I was promised, this more of a North Wales in March" :D :D :D

This has been one of the best discovered channels - keep up the adventures

[@kathrynshirley4635]

Go the CB500X! Just an awesome bike! Loved seeing it keep up with the bigger bikes 🥳

[@brentmoran3646]

Great riding and John what hoot funny as. Good on him hitting it on a CB 500 shows bit suspension and Tyres you got it. Thanks again outstanding footage,

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

That was a great adventure.

Always fun and inspiring to watch your videos Dave. So nice to see you young guys have fun and goof around. This was a blast as always!!! Cheers from Sweden!

Glad I can across this video, great footage, well done guys, loved the banter....

Hi Gordon, there are many more motorcycle adventures on this channel.

[@Makelifehappennow]

Awesome video. Great camaraderie. Sounds like a true biking adventure. When you are ready to take on the North American Outback, give us a shout. Adventures abound everywhere.

We have our eyes on the North West of US. It's on the list.

Now having done an adventure ride of my own I have re-watched this Dave and it cracked me up - such a lot of humour. What a great Adventure with some great blokes.

[@ScottNicolsonntman]

An epic and inspiring adventure. The narration, music and camera work are very well done. Now I've just gotta kit out my CB.

[@haldhefairi]

It's the second time to watch it and enjoyed every single second

[@maxdawson6928]

Absolutely love these long length series you have inspired me to get a 950 ktm super enduro

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

They are a heap of effort to make. I was disappointed in the hits for this movie. It was a huge effort to film and then make.

[@marcinsmaga3441]

I hope number of hits will increase as I really enjoy those lengthy videos. Great trip and great entertainment.

[@powayimports4175]

I recently discovered this channel and i have to say I’m addicted!! Will have to come to Australia one day for a true adventure!! Thank you for the content it’s excellent 👍

Another video worth watching more than once ✌️

What a fantastic trip, and congrats on the editing and commentary, bloody fantastic! Makes me want to throw a big tank on the DRZ and head North... Need to sit and watch the rest of your vids now, but first I'm going for a ride ;-)

You got that right!

[@pedrovazquez9146]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV watching one of you other videos…although I’m from the U.S., as a kid spent a couple of years in the Island of Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. This was back in the 80s. We had some great adventures exploring the island, caves full of WWII Japanese abandoned equipment, great snorkeling, beautiful mountains…possibly a future MAD adventure to a lesser know location?

Another awesome adventure ride video Dave. Looking forward to the next video.

Awesome trip guys as always, i have became a fan of your adventures. I myself been involved in bike riding but till now it is limited to my home country only, one day hopefully i will visit this place on 2 wheels.

this video was wonderfull! Once you got into the desert it gave me great feelings i haven't had in a long time!

Brilliant, what a ride....I just wish there had been a xt660z tenere amongst the group! , but seriously a great film especially with the Drone footage. And a great bunch of people to ride with. Steve

Great Great Video, Lot of courage. Very good, Greatings from Spain.

[@BikerBytes]

This is a truly amazing awe inspiring video. It’s time to flirt with the dirt. Thank you.

[@SKgeostrat]

I love the narrative and the narrator. Nice story, nicely told and good info shared. I watch a number of adventure riding videos from all over, Europe, the US, Australia and you always come out on top; You desribe the people and the bikes well and kindly and you are not too unkind to the KTMs. From my readings, it is obvious that the japanese are more reliable, less prone to stupid breakdowns. The DR650s, the Teneres, the Honda 650s are all maybe less exciting on paper, but oh so much more reliable. I am getting into adventure riding after a very long hiatus and one thing is obvious to me, I'll stay away from the KTMs and get a bike with proven reliability, like an old DR650 modified or a new Tenere. Ahain thanks for telling such a great story and forgive me for nipping at the !austrians!

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Glad you like what we are doing. There's lots more adventure on this channel.

[@azdesertdog]

Another epic adventure. You guys have such a good time. I am amazed at how well the CB 500X did.Judging by yours and a couple other videos looked like a pretty wet season for you guys down there.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yep, it's been wet wet wet.

[@BlenderBends]

Great Adventure guys. I did the Louth to Cobar highway on my GS1200 this year a few days after a big wet. I totally know the feeling. its a sloppy road as best. I would love to come along some time. And i So want to do it on the CB500X. What a star that was. Made the whole vid IMO. Love your work!!!

[@tattoosgetyousextgys6137]

Cracking film! An inspiration. I hope to one day soon start my own two-wheeled adventures around our great land. :) Can i ask - what's the song at 13:20?

Good choice!

[@JohnWilliams-zt6yl]

Excellent show well done really enjoyed it.

[@baltsosser]

Looks like some super challenging mud conditions. I've ridden in that in Kansas that doesn't seem to believe in paved roads. My friend told me it had been raining and I couldn't ride to his house. I didn't believe him. the mud taught me to believe him. Super deep, slippery, and capable of burying a motorcycle. Looked a lot like these conditions.

amazing video! loved it... a little tip is you some of the riders can easily avoid some falls etc buy stand balancing...

[@1compaqedr8]

Thanks for the single upload instead of parts.

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

I'd be interested to know how many times, you chaps had to clean out the air filters of sand and dust, epic journey

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Not once during the trip. Because we stay out of each others dust.

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV that's impressive, especially with the amount of rain and mud that you had, that air filter that was caked in mud just being towed behind the 4x4, thought it would have been quite bad on the ride itself. The Honda did brilliantly as a road bike changed out to adventure spec. That was an impressive video

[@lyntonwebb9661]

Fabulous 👌.

[@veereshpatil2850]

This is just awesome!! Love you guys. Keep posting

[@wave6413]

You need to list the all the bikes. That 250 had my name on it. I did big sections alone in the 80's on an XT600Tenere. Classic mistake no new rear tire when I left the Alice, Hit mud just as you described with less traction than I should have had and down I would go. Picking up that big tank sucker in that slop, by myself was almost impossible. Dropped the bike in a gutter full of mud and as I followed my bike on my knees and elbows ass first, my helmet acted like a jet boat bucket - in through the chin and round the top of the inside of the lid and then mud squirted down my back inside my jacket.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Bloody excellent :)

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Hi Ronan, we've also ridden unsupported in the desert with an unsupported Simpson Crossing but we were prepared, but not prepared for every contingency. The desert is a dangerous place.

This is a great adventure - I’m interested in the route you took from Sydney to Birdsville. Are you able to share details of where you went? Considering the W2W next year (from SA) and might go back the long way via Flinders?!?!

Sorry mate can't remember the route. We do it differently every time. Our W2W is great.

Fantastic video guys, some great footage. I'm planning a Simpson crossing myself next year on my 690r. Roughly how much fuel did you use from Birdsville to Alice? Did you run standard gearing?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Standard gearing. Birdsville to Mount Dare or vice versa 38 litres. BUT that varies depending on bike, riding style, you really need to do the calculation yourself.
