Fixing my old Honda while trying to cross Central Australia - Episode 6

[@marklaity5436]

Riemann, I have watched all of your world travels, but none of them have come close to this trip. You are an amazing camera man and a legend of a bike rider. Thank you.

[@mjfalcon007]

I couldn’t say it better myself! That scene where Adam removed his goggles and we got to look into the legends eyes for a short time was one of my favourite scenes! So many emotions running wild in my mind watching this episode! This was better entertainment than Hollywood could ever produce.

[@samhill3496]

Great job mate, you never know til you walk a mile in my shoes, or ride a motorcycle RTW. So true. Warhorse is holding up just as it should, tough as nails. Very good cinematography.

The production levels on this is insane. No wonder no-one watches regular TV anymore. Thank you Adam

[@johnb7422]

"If you move through the world with good intentions, the world will move for you". Words to emulate and live by Adam. You are indeed a gifted story teller and film maker mate. 👍

[@beretgascon]

Easy to forget you don't have a complete camera crew with you whilst the complete mechanic crew is keeping your bike in tippity top shape. Awesome, mate. Inspirational.

Adam, this whole epic adventure should be nominated for an AACTA Awards........it really is to a high quality industry standard. I didn't/don't want this to end.

[@alanbateman605]

Rest easy Adam. No haters in the comments only a world of admiration for what you are doing. Thanks for inviting us along for the ride.

[@ktmkevin]

Amazing series Adam. Between the storytelling, epic landscapes, drone shots, bike challenges.. The phone call with your kid(s) at that fuel station got to me. It's easy to go on a multi week trip. It's not easy for your family. That short moment in this 45 minute film humbled me.

[@HyperS1B]

Couldn't have said it better. Honestly best bike series/filmI've ever watched. Simply inspiring.

[@ozitmanager]

26:40 to 27:25 is some of the best framed adv riding anyone has ever done, well done Adam

[@lessmore444]

“I’ll fire up the warhorse & show him who’s boss”… chomps a mouthful of his WA sized loaf…. Then that boot stomp of the switch. Yes! 😂 And finally solid words of wisdom at the end. All of it, priceless mate. Thank you.

[@mabecka]

Epic. A missused word but perfectly fine here. Cheers from Sweden!

[@arara513]

This is the best film about motorcycling, traveling, life, and friendship I have ever seen.

[@rovertasmania7033]

Those drone shots, just puts into perspective how massive Australia is and how remote you where. Awesome as always.

[@schalkvandermerwe4160]

Every episode of this series has been epic. I can’t believe we get to watch it for free.

Bloody sensational Adam! I've got no idea how you're editing these incredible videos and posting them as you take us through this journey with the War Horse but man you've definitely got me hooked on each episode mate! Good troubleshooting of the issues and overcoming them as best you can, as a mechanic I try to imagine myself in your shoes and what I would do. Thanks heaps brother, proud to be a supporter of Motology Films. Stay safe and I hope you get to see your family soon. Over and out. 👍👏👏👏😎🇦🇺🍾🍷🥃🍻

[@lauramorris4945]

Epic, absolutely epic. Just don't want this series to end, bloody amazing Adam.

[@adv4me]

As a father I felt the pull on my heart strings when you spoke to your daughter. I hope at some point in my life I’ll be able to pull off something as incredible as this journey. It’s difficult to carve out that time away from the family flow. Love your content brother, keep up the great work.

[@dirkhuman760]

My old F650gs left me stranded in the Karoo desert when its battery failed and the experience put a fear in me of riding solo in remote places. I could not imagine a battery failure and had no spare. This video of yours has given me the courage to go at it again. There is so much you teach riders in terms of preparedness in your stunning video. Thank you Adam.

[@warrenharrison5052]

[@MotologyFilms]

Thank you. Grateful for the channel support too, I really appreciate it.

[@Xanty55]

Hello, I have been watching your channel with pleasure and enjoying the videos with increasing enthusiasm. All down from Norway to the Australian desert. Inspired by these videos and the various incidents, I brought my own warhorse, a 1998 RD07a, back to life from the old barn where I parked it 9 years ago. I have now soldered the wiring to the alternator regulator and replaced the regulator itself with a modern one. I've been driving a modified replacement fuel pump for a long time. The first few kilometers on the roads (it's autumn here) didn't disappoint me. The familiarity with the driving behavior was immediately back. I wish you health and happiness on the roads. Hans from Bavaria, Germany.

[@MotologyFilms]

'The familiarity with the driving behaviour was immediately back ... ' I love this comment. Your choice of words is perfect

[@BrunoBA]

Impressive riding! Those drone shots with the cloud of dust behind the WarHorse are amazing. They reminded me of some Dakar and Baja's helicopter shots! Loving this series!

[@theoriginalracingsnake]

A breeze just came in my window and blew some dust right in my eyes. Extraordinary mate.

[@devilslawyer1646]

Sitting here in Canada watching this, both me and my 2020 Africa Twin are amazed, awed, and a little jealous of your ridiculously huge brass appendages! Well done mate, you ARE a legend!

[@TheAussieSamurai]

Adam of all the moto youtubers out there you have got to be the best! The way you tell your story, the cinematography and audio is special and as a guy who solo remote tours and dad of two young girls that phone call got me just like it got you. Well done and thank you

[@hossp2365]

Agreed. The India Million Dollar Bogan series was close in drawing you in to the narrative. Sadly bogan became an idiot.

[@stefanfrey704]

Just woke up at 3.30am, best time to join with you the warhorse spirit, riding in the outback. What a cool way to get up beside of the posibility to get today my own 20 years young Twin horse on the Road of Central America. Beside today is a special day, delivery of a green Africa Twin 750 to a new owner who likes to start creating great memories also. Ride save and enjoy!

[@LethalLee666]

thanks too you your wisdom your positive energy and way you see the world you help me summons the courage to keep fighting Leukaemia , 4 1/2 years later after being told i only have 2 months to live 1 brain tumour removed 14 days ago I'm still here like a old war horse keep riding keep sharing your films you my hero are a true legend , sure i would still be fighting without knowing of you but living the dream of getting on a bike again your vids keep my dream alive

It's nice to know my films are helping people who need real help. Keep going my friend, I hope you will yourself to ride again. Be strong!

This series of presentations is incredible. Just when I think one chapter cannot possibly be beaten, there’s another where the ante is lifted by a mile. Thank you Adam for sharing your adventure and even more for the inspiration.

[@tristan694]

I'm speechless watching this , I have jumped out of planes in the Military , played the drums in Rock Bands and rescued people in fires and people trapped in cars in the Fire Service .Your videos are inspiring and they make me want to get of my arse and get out there, thankyou for the motivation. I'm swapping my race bike for an adventure bike. Thankyou for your sacrifices that allows us all to start are own adventures. I even talk to myself when I ride down town on my scooter FFS 😀

[@marci232]

Adam, I discovered you when I bought my rd04 in December 2022, looking for information about the motorcycle, I saw your videos and I was hooked on your work, what you do is incredible. How you disassemble and fix the motorcycle in the middle of nowhere, you are a true mad max man. If you want to one day do the Paris Dakar with a RD04, you have mine to give you the adventure that I will never be able to, that is, if you have to come look for it in Galicia in Spain, it is the only requirement. Greetings and waiting for the next chapter.

[@husseinmdachi]

Adam, you are a hero and a great example, you have made me wish to have a motorcycle and how the life of a motorcycle is very happy, you have taught me a lot through your episodes. I'm in East Africa, I don't have much ability to buy a powerful motorcycle, but with your training, I was able to buy a 250cc single cylinder motorcycle as just the beginning of my motorcycle life, may you have a long life, Hero. My English is not very good, please forgive me.

[@MotologyFilms]

Haha, how did I miss this comment... yes, the Biltema fuel pump is still powering the horse!!

[@deldridg]

Great to get a glimpse of Papunya, where I first lived back in the late 60s. Mum ran the hospital and dad ran the workshop as a mechanic, the post office, the power generator etc. Back in around 2000, mum and dad returned there in their 4wd and waiting for them was a small 'welcoming committee'. Noone could have known they were driving in that day, but somehow they just knew. It was a teary reunion after about 25 years. In 2010, we joined the olds in our 4wds from NSW on a big half loop of the Red Centre. How I love that country and can't stop watching this amazing series! Can't wait to get back there myself. Cheers from Sydney - Dave

[@eliasmann7381]

Perfectly shot video. True hardship overcome through diligence and knowledge. The journey isn’t always fun, but it’s always worth it

[@schoolofmediocrity2801]

Adam, you're truly living the dream, mate. Thanks for taking us along with you. Your cinematography really has a way of sucking us in and making it feel like we're right there with ya.

[@michaelwallace8791]

I recently put my KLR650 down on a dirt road with some freshly poured sand and gravel here in middle of Kansas, USA. So, watching you bust along at 75mph is awesome. With all of my 1000 to 1500 mile trips people can't believe I did that. But, then to watch you make a trip like this is absolutely inspiring to me. Working through fuel and electrical issues with some degree of patience. Knowing your bike so that those small repairs don't stop you is what it's all about. Loved watching this, only wish I had a 10th of your riding skills. After my KLR650 I'm now on a 2016 Africa Twin. Loving this bike and hope to make some memories like you have. Thanks for the inspiration Adam!!

[@andyclark4428]

What an unbelievable adventure Adam. I’m transfixed watching you and the War Horse blast across Australia. Truly a momentous journey that your filming makes us all feel as if we are there alongside you experiencing every moment. Fan-bloody-tastic. Thank you.

[@michaelbrowne5684]

Brought a tear to my eye seeing you in the great sandy. We lived out there for 5.5 years. Fond memories of my IT490 and XR600 in the late 80s/early 90s. Yes, I could do it and after watching the series I just might. Great work Adam.

[@MotologyFilms]

It's nice when my accidental expeditions run straight through people's homeland, past or present, evoking memories and feelings of a chapter in their lives. A cool bi-product of what is otherwise simply entertainment...

[@bcab7955]

One element to this riding series I truly appreciate is the non-emotional roadside repairs necessary to keep the old bike in good running condition. This is a great thing for younger people to see not only to learn of maintenance on your bike, but also navigating adversity with wisdom and dignity.

[@AdventureswithFishbro]

Thank you for sharing episode 6 Adam. I had a trip planned to travel from Nullagine to Kintore and stop off at Jupiter Well on the Gary Junction road for Desert Raid 2023, but unfortunately a broken leg got in the way. After watching this video, I’m now going to complete this journey. Thank you for taking us on your adventure, cheers.

[@MotologyFilms]

Indeed. The way of the outback ...

[@apolloobel]

Wow. Just wow. Adam is one hell of a rider and an even a better film maker. Your narration puts me right there with you on the road and this almost moved me to tears.Its made me realize there’s so much to see out there and like you said, we are the authors of our own stories. I am Ugandan currently living in the US. Because of this particular series, I have decided to ship my 2015 Honda crosstourer back to Africa and embark on my own adventure. You put life into perspective and have made so many of us realize that life should be lived and there’s no better way to do this than on 2 wheels. Keep doing what you do mate. You are simply the best.🔥🔥

These clips should be edited into a feature film and played on movie theaters 👌

[@mjfalcon007]

What a legend! This was my favourite video of yours to date! Thank you for allowing us to look into your eyes while you do all the hard work! You are on a whole different level! We have so much respect for what you are doing. I genuinely felt bad for you when you had the rude awakening from the cops and I paused it in frustration, only to return with a giant smile on my face. Can’t wait for the next episode 👍

[@dedsxy38]

That big HUG💕💕 at the end is not just well deserved but profoundly necessary after the trials and tribulations you endured during this leg of your journey. Great job troubleshooting the faulty switch and the smarts to have essential replacement parts when you needed them the most; it could have been a very different outcome otherwise. Best wishes and safe travels, my friend.

[@whitedrguy6503]

So what I gather from this series is that you don’t need TC, ABS, TFT screens, EFI, cruise control, tubeless tyres, tyre pressure monitors, different riding modes and a plethora of other features to go on an epic adventure, just a little know how and some good riding skills, who would have thought !!! Long May old school bikes used for what they were designed for, hard to believe that back in the day of the warhorse they were never real popular in Australia along with the rest of the P/ D replicas, my how times have changed. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Keep up the good work sir

[@MidCoastAdventures]

What a legend this man. I've stumbled across your channel and have been watching every trip you did all back to back. I feel like i'm missing out on a different aspect of beeing a rider. I'll need to learn to ride off-road on a motorcycle but seeing these amazing films for the past several days gave me the feeling that if i don't do this, i'll forever regret it. Thank you Adam, for making me realise there's more to life then riding boring asphalt itinerary trips. Much love, from Belgium

[@dragonsmonk]

You asked a very important question in this part "Are you ready for the sacrifice". While I am ready for the camping, rough roads, etc. I am also well aware of my mechanical knowledge and riding limits. That in mind, the trip you've undertaken in this series (epic series btw) would very likely be suicidal for me. Thus I am very happy knowing my own skills will not allow me to do this kind of trip and rather stick to the 60/40 (on and off-road) throughout Europe and Scandinavia, not commiting suicide by face-planting in remote parts of the world, but also watching you do this while supporting you in the ways I can. Thanks for taking us along and taking the stress of leaving your familiy for those long periods of time.

[@robertdejoode2624]

Adam, absolutely sensational mate. Love your camera work and editing and most of all your inspirational words. I have also ridden across a lot of these roads in episode 6 and your video has brought many vivid and beautiful memories. All the best to you and the “war horse”. keep riding 😊

My God, the moment Scott passes by on his motorcycle to find you, he lets out a scream of joy and madness that completely moved me, it's what you feel when you meet a friend you haven't seen in years and it makes you want to cry, This documentary is magnificent, I watch it again and again, greetings from Chile dear Adam.

[@projectbiker]

I hope you realise just how inspiring your videos have been. I fully blame you for planting the seed in me to do my own off-road epic - difference is that I was a complete novice. I returned in one piece and made my own series...now just want to get out there and do more. You keep making these videos and I'll keep pushing the limit 🤙

Adam, the warhorse has done brilliantly over this Australian adventure. If you were on a brand new bike you could expect the same levels of drama's and breakdowns, just that in a new bike the technology may make it impossible to fix on the side of the track. Great ride and adventure Adam, very enjoyable to watch.
