I exchanged my ridiculously heavy bike for a much lighter 900cc Triumph Tiger. Now I travel bitumen and dirt roads with a greater degree of comfort and safety! Stay upright Paddy, and keep the vids coming!

[@PaddyOutback]

I used have a V-Strom which would be great on that road but I’m an idiot.

[@HippoDrones]

That was a big hole, followed by a big rock, narrated by a big dude! :D

😂😂😂

[@CalmBiker]

Completely agree on the geese.

I feel compelled to visit Australia based on your vids. It’s a beautiful landscape that is somewhat familiar to my home in the western US, but it’s also obviously a world away in more ways than one. Your videos are really something fun to stir the imagination. Some longer trips will soon be necessary, but that seems a really great “problem” to have too! Cheers Paddy!

[@PaddyOutback]

Definitely a good problem to have! Hopefully both you and I manage that soon. The Outback reminds me of parts of New Mexico and Arizona. The red dirt especially!

[@lisawilliams7304]

We were at Railway Hotel having lunch when you went past...plus Terry the Publican took us for a tour under the pub. Bummer we missed you.

[@PaddyOutback]

I saw some bikes outside as I passed and was half thinking of stopping but ended up filming first! Oh well. Next time! Under the pub is amazing. I was in there a while back. Such a collection of stuff!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Don't tell them to calm down, wow, rude. You didn't even ask how their day had been! Sneak down in to the gold pit to rob some. Buy all the bikes then. Hideously ugly but also really cool, sounds like the Kawasaki H2. Hahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂 (I'll let you figure out what I'm laughing at here) Look at you with all your hair. Ya bollox. Mine is migrating to elsewhere very quickly :'( Been eaten by drop bears. That's what I'd tell everyone. Geese are tanks. Class animals 😂 That's a really cool spot to be fair. The mine is bloody collosal!!! Is it still active? Great vid again amigo.

[@PaddyOutback]

One of them was being pure skittish man! She needed to be told! Thanks man. The mine is still going!

[@maxbialystock254]

Metric Fucktonne. Thanks paddy you just renamed my band.

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

It seems Australia is very similar to the US. Its almost like the US in some alternate universe.

[@PaddyOutback]

In some ways, it’s very similar. The size, definitely. In many ways, it’s very different though. Sort of like Europe and the US had an overachieving child.

@@PaddyOutback I didn't want to go into too much detail because I didn't want to offend armed people

[@PaddyOutback]

No shortage of guns here either. We just check first.

[@HippoDrones]

@@EpicAdamMotovlogs I have arms and I'm not afraid to use them to get my hands close enough to my keyboard to let my fingers do their worst! :D
