Yes Dooley down rd and skull springs road best two runs on a ADV bike for sure.

Great video ride safe

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it.

[@ride4adventure]

Dooley Downs Rd is awesome. 90kms of twisty Outback bliss. 👍

[@adv-moto-rider7216]

@Ride4adventue if you love Dooley Downs Rd you must get up and do Skull Springs Rd (if you haven't) mirror image of Dooley, Only twice the length. Thanks for Watching.

@@adv-moto-rider7216 I have saved it on my roads to travel, cheers. 👍

[@vegermite]

Great stuff mate :) What would you say your average speed on gravel would be?

[@adv-moto-rider7216]

Most times we sat on 85km - 95kmph more so for fuel consumption, But some times roads were just graded so we jumped up to 95-100kmph. I just tried to keep the AT below 5.5LPH due to having to run OPEL fuel (low Octane) and roughness of the road.

Great trip. How have you found the XT2? Did your routes all stay as you plotted them or did it pick a different way? Did you use the Group Ride bit? What sort of comms do you use between bikes? Too many questions huh? Sorry.....Cheers.

[@adv-moto-rider7216]

@1Witcomb Hi this is the Zumo XT I did not have one drama all trip and we tackled few 100km of corrugation also. I build all my Maps in GaiaPro then export and convert in base camp to tracks (removes 100's of unwanted Points) up load to Garmin in days and tracks traveling as you will see on Video Garmin auto picks the track closest where you start always at the top of list when you choose. We did have to change on the fly some days due to closed roads etc as you will see in next Video. some days i would get off the chosen track and use route mapping to give me indication of how much further to travel, I was shown this method by a fellow rider handy with the set up from there i just made small maps in my local area and continually just played/ practiced with mapping till i got to a point where i can change and mod tracks on fly with Gaia and blue tooth to Zump XT. Hope this helps?

@@adv-moto-rider7216 Great feedback, thanks. I thought it was an XT2 hence the group ride question - don't think the XT has it. I'm about to do first (very easy) 3 day ride and wanted an idea of what to expect. Look forward to the next video. Cheers.

[@adv-moto-rider7216]

@@1Witcomb yes Group ride can be added to Zumo XT from Garmin but I dont have that.
