Thanks for the epic series so far, Tom! WR250R for life!!!

[@RidingWithTom]

Thanks fellow WR brother!!!

[@6Twisted]

Thanks for the years of content Tom. I got my dirt bike because of you :)

[@RidingWithTom]

Thanks so much! Hope you are enjoying the 250!

[@6Twisted]

@@RidingWithTom It was a good test bike. I just upgraded to a 2022 WR450F and I love it.

G'day, The "big white hill" is at "Phosphat hill" mine, What you saw is Gypsum along with other by-products from the mining procass. They make fertilizer for the domestic and international markets. Acid is made in Mt Isa and added to the fertilizer to help farmers control PH levels in the soil. The taller chimney is used but you cannot normally see anything come out.

Calling the woolworths a safeway.... controversial!

[@RidingWithTom]

It will always be safeways to me, shit now I’m sounding like a boomer

[@Healthliving1967]

@@RidingWithTom Its woolworths bloke,safeway has been gone for a long time.

[@wobblysauce]

Some still call the shops Franklins

[@suzyamerica4679]

@@wobblysauce Did Australia have IGA stores long ago? You don't often see them in the US anymore. Like finding a Radio Shack still in business.

[@mikeadz1]

@@suzyamerica4679 we still have them, but in city areas everyone just goes to coles or Woolworths, cause they’re usually much bigger and have better prices

[@streddaz]

Nerb’s videos for knowledge and facts, Riding with Tom for WHEELIES!!!!😂

[@simonjones2645]

Unfortunately Tom isn't too bright ..... I'll trust nerb1 to build stuff and for my facts in general lol

[@jmsask]

Much better watching your videos than looking outside and seeing 4 feet of snow and -10C here in Saskatchewan. Great video! Thanks for taking me away from this for a few minutes 🍻

[@jesseerhardt7678]

Second that here in North Dakota! Seeing nice warm sun, is a great escape from the winter.

[@davidziebell1693]

I’ve been to Mount Isa quite a few years back my Nan and Pop used to live there and I’ve been to the Isa lookout and also my uncle Steven used to work in the copper mine up there and we actually got to visit it and drive around the big hole that is dug out really would love to go back there

[@swashbucklingsapphic4215]

Always look forward to your videos, Tom 😊

[@RidingWithTom]

you are too kind! thanks mate!

[@barrymurphy3554]

Hi Tom & the Boys Great Series so far glad you got your backpack back Yes that WR is unbelievable yes everything has its place. You have shown Tom for many years to only take less is best. Not to many People can pick up there bikes except you. Thanks great videos stay safe Cheers

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Really enjoying the series. Great stuff Tom.

[@bondibeast]

Its so hard for me to get out and go for a ride, i have young kids and I work long hours. Just watched the vid and it gave me a fresh dose of motivation to make it happen

[@bondibeast]

also i found a mouse in my tek7's

[@PissTakeProduction]

I tell the family especially the wife Saturday and Sunday is ride days and that's how ya roll.

[@Adrianzx]

I remember trying to find a wr250r in the USA around 2014 and couldn't find but 2-3 that wanted nearly new prices for them. Ended up on a vrf800 but it's still daydream about the adventure bike life

[@Blake_Seven]

stock 701 enduro are 12 liter tanks but i seriously love my 2018 enduro 701.. so much fun after being on a heavy 800GS

[@martibtube]

Got my first WR250R in 2008, then another one in 2014 its a great bike and all that you need , handles better than the heavy bikes in the single track .

[@robpinter5431]

RWT living the dream that we are a part of....nice....

[@christinegreen7120]

Hi Tom, I'm a boomer, a 'real' one born in the 50's - rough and tough just like a WR250R! Nice video, well edited and great story telling; thanks for posting. BTW, acid has a low pH. Imagine learning something from a boomer! Simon

[@RidingWithTom]

jeez I always thought acidic was high on the ph not low! damn that's why my fish must have died...

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, Acid lower then 7 and Bases are higher

[@simonjones2645]

@@RidingWithTom 😂🤣 poor fish ..

[@gili7333]

Hey Tom, my bro keeps telling me to get a WR but worried it’s too little and underpowered, but seeing where you’ve been on it thinking of getting a used one, Im 70 kg, is that too big?

[@lucimoto2922]

nice mountains :) Some small hills in Europe :)

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Entertaining as always. 😊

[@OGTylerP]

love me some knowledge n' facts bout wheelies!

[@suzyamerica4679]

OK, I just about jumped out of my skin to see a pay phone in Mt Eisner.

[@MitchieVentures]

300k see tom you know facts not just a wheelie guy

[@billcotton1551]

And I thought pickup trucks were expensive here! 300k wow!

[@mototrailz]

9:43 🤣😂

[@glennboy66]

Come on Yamaha make us a WR300r and teach me to wheelie like Tom

[@mountainconstructions]

Must be Thursday

[@bazza8947]

You might be young and virile but they are old and wise...like a tortoise 🤣

[@maveric585]

Didn’t this same bike get stolen and it was recovered?

[@RidingWithTom]

yeap! stolen and purchased back from insurance auction

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, bike has history.

[@suzyamerica4679]

@@RidingWithTom You got it back. That says amazing things. One of my bikes is special like that because it doesn't die until it gets me home. It's gone up and down the US west coast, out to Sturgis and back, motocamping all over. A bike that's loyal like that or comes back to you like that - hang onto it 👍

[@chaplad25]

Whos gonna be the one to break it to tommo that its acidic if it has a low pH not a high pH 😬

[@ronprince1478]

[@acebenedicto]

[@dalewyatt1321]

10 grand at a Yamaha dealer??? Gets you not much. Safe travels, even though this one is dusted.

[@StuTheFarmer]

Would love Yamaha to make a WR450R as reliable as the 250

[@chainbenwa2713]

Same here. That’s why I didn’t get a 450 lol. Literally the only reason.

[@Scalihoo]

thumbs up 👍

[@1MrBryn]

I'd like to see your next big trip to be a tarmac based one for all us dirt dodgers.

[@stevedavis2473]

You'll be in your 50s one day, then you'll be the Boomer & You'll know what it's like.

[@budget-adventure]

Bright black? Lol

[@lucky3662]

i am so jeallous :D

[@stillettoRebel]

Cashed-up minors??

[@simonjones2645]

Miner ! As in one who mines !

[@Healthliving1967]

Kangaroos are no joke,i lost a friend to a single grey kangaroo and he was in a car! Rolled his 4wd trying to dodge one and a tree root came through the drivers side window and impailed him. You should be slowing down when kangaroos are close to the road edges,if you hit one of these big red kangaroos on a bike your screwed.

[@wobblysauce]

This is why you don’t dodge

[@marksummers496]

Yep. I hit a mob of greys while I was riding 1200 Tenere, I came off better than the bike. Both clavicles broken but the bike was a write off. Unpredictable bastards those 'roos. Edit: Sorry about your mate.
