Great ride report of your Adventureland Outback in the Flinders Mountain Range! Beautiful mountains and nice trails to ride. The 701 seems to be an excellent machine. It will be interesting to see your all’s long ride on them soon. Ride safe mate and watch out for the kangaroos!

[@Erik-rp1hi]

Next week in Southern California the "Red Sticker" bikes are outlawed. Only old bikes like my 01' Honda CR250R can be used. After sitting for years I will be taking it out on a day trail ride this weekend. My lightest bike, Getting old and soft for much bigger bikes to push on. Will need to fresh'en up on my clutch control if I'm not to dig trenches. Hope it goes fun.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

What is a red sticker bike?

[@Erik-rp1hi]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV A Red Sticker bike is Identified as a air polluter and can only be ridden in the winter (6 months of year). My old 2 stroke is grandfathered in so it has a Green Sticker. California hates us off roaders. All KTM's except their EXC street legal bikes are made to pass the ca. emission test. They put a lot of stuff that kills the engine to pass regulations here. I think the EU is just as bad.

[@RockyRaymel]

I really enjoyed your Flinders Ranges adventure. It's amazing country, so well captured in your video. Sorry that you missed out on the road kill cafe at the Prairie Hotel, Parachilna - it's epic. I first visited - in fact stayed there overnight - when it was still the Para Hotel in 1968 and the original Ghan went past!

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yes we were disappointed by missing the Para.

I’ll never understand why a bike would come with features you have to turn off. Enduro mode on my desert x the and and traction control is incredible and I’d never turn it off cause it’s saved my ass multiple times.

It's a good setting when you're getting used to dirt or want to relax.

Yep Ben excellent footage of Beemrs on the loose coming in El Questro

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Same video twice? I'm confused....🤔

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It was to be two episodes but there wasn't enough footage so I joined it all together. But also improved the sound and remastered it in 4K for those with the bandwidth

[@MidCoastAdventures]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Cool, thanks for the clarification 👍 I'll find where part 2 starts

[@Dowent]

Will this be different from the adventure released on the 7th? I loved that one, it had the same atmosphere and almost tranquility of your more complex travels, but in a much smaller package. It really underlines how great it can be when you go without a group on a just a few days of amazing adventure. e: Finished the rest of the adventure from the 7th, turns out there is more, sorry for the dumb question, I didn't think it was episodic since there was no episode number and you've started making adventures as one long video (which I love). Looking forward to 18th!

Fuel efficiency good but I haven't taken figures. Nothing being changed.

[@cornestander3877]

Wish i had roads like this near me, South Africa only has really adventure type places up to the north east, by the south west its mostly tarred.. the pros and cons on being better side of the country infrastructure lol.

Those roos can be a real pain, I hit 3 of them when I was there on my vstrom1000. 2 hit the front of the bike and 1 jumped into my leg, cracking my footpeg mount. Had to ride home to Perth only standing on my right peg when I wanted to stretch 😂

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Do yuoo think maybe you were going a bit quick? Verytime I've hit one I was going too fast for the conditions.

[@garthbosworth8090]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I was down to 60kmh, but was stuck on the road between Blinman and hawker at night after a mates bike broke down. There were thousands of kangaroos everywhere, so it was unavoidable. At 60kmh they hit and bounced off without knocking me off, so I kept going. Definitely not something I want to do again tho 😂

What tyres are you running on the S10?

You have the roos. we got the deer. do the kangaroos tend to pick a direction and keep going? or are they completely random like deer? Ive had deer double back, run straight from me, and even try leaping over me. touch wood, Ive only had close calls. But Im curious if the roos behave similarly. BTW - Im envious of short dudes who can hop on and stand comfortably on a stock ADV bike and not have to spend another grand screwing around with the clearly defective ergonomics.

Both :), as long as the T7 is mine with the suspension sorted. I'd put the T7 on my back while going north from Beltana and then put the Husky on my back on the open stuff and black top.
