Great Northern Adventure - Part 5 | From Finke to Uluru

In this part, after watching a bit of the finke desert race, we head into Alice Springs before going to Uluru, the biggest rock in the world... even bigger than Milmed rock! (if you get that reference in the first 24 hours of this being uploaded, email me for a free sticker!).
The original plan was to go straight from Finke to Uluru, but Silas had some leaky fork seals, to we did the extra to get them repaired in Alice.

Love your excitement at seeing Uluru. Almost as much as when you saw Nugget...

[@cjeremie]

Enjoy seeing Ayres Rock everytime I pass through. Climbing the rock was always tiring

[@bobdrakeford5731]

Finding "Nugget" = "Gold!" 👍🤣

[@FLYEAL]

Another great adventure. As an American, I’ve been fortunate to see Uluru 3 times in person. Once on a road bike trip from Sydney 30+ years ago (even ‘climbed’ it then as was common, 1989). Everyone should if possible - certainly Australians.

[@Nerb1]

Yeah, I wish I had seen it earlier before climbing was closed. I disagree with closing off nature to walkers (vehicles I understand). Especially for religious reasons. And even more especially for financial reasons (like Australias snow fields).

[@balkos450]

Great vid .... Thanks for the chat at Finke if i had of known i would of done my hair lol ... Your newest subscriber Nugget

[@stephenchampion2439]

Another brilliant video. I'm absolutely loving this trip 10/10 👍👍👌

[@robpinter5431]

It is amazing that in such a big country you bump into like mined people, at the OCR2022 at Adel's Grove QLD I met Simon Pavey, and Steve from Mongrel Dog Productions. Been home for a week now and need another ride....so great to do big trips on a motorcycle to reset the mind. 15.50 is definitely a wall poster moment.

[@Nerb1]

Yeah, it is amazing, but I guess there is a limited number of us type of adventurers and there is set times of year that are most popular.... so the odds go up. 13:50 i assume you meant ;)

[@luke6645]

That drive by of the rock was stunning

[@wobblysauce]

The thing about it is the scale... just a rock till you are next to it.

[@luke6645]

@@wobblysauce that's what she said

[@keithjob]

You're right, pictures don't do it justice. When you first see it, it is just mind boggling how big it is. Made me smile hearing your reaction! Great vid.

[@paulvanhout9695]

Two Nuggets sightings - the monolith and the infamous Nugget himself😀. Fabulous series and incredible scenery and riding.

[@tomosan1967]

Lived at Uluru for a couple of years back in the early 90's and once climbed the rock at 4am in the dark so I could watch the full moon set over the Olgas and the sun rise over MT Conner. Magical stuff.

[@Nerb1]

Ahh, the 90's! I'd climb it in the dark if I could ;) Thanks for your long term patronage mate!

[@wayde4192]

Love the enthusiasm. Great views of the Rock , only ever seen the standard postcard picture. Nugget = a goer 👍.

[@billcotton1551]

I'd say Uluru was worth the trip! The way the different light makes it look is amazing.

[@ronnieturner1675]

Looks explore life at 11:05. You guys both have some great content keep it up!!

[@Nerb1]

Youre right, it is. Ha. Well spotted. You will have to tell him he starred in a real youtube channel!

[@williamgulyas9199]

Awesome video Nerb, love seeing the different sides to Uluru. I've only seen post cards of it or seen it on TV and it's always the same. Keep up the great content.

[@dynamadnessadventures205]

Great video. Yep Ayres Rock is unbelievable I actually had a tear in my eye my first time at the rock I still can’t get over the size of it. Ride safe

[@lornejackman1161]

Nice, @nerb1 ! Love your music choices…

[@4x4junkie86]

cool vid nerbsan. lookin forward to rest of the trip. cheers.

[@nunores]

Another amazing episode, thank you 😊

[@wazza33racer]

Nerb is almost an unofficial ambassador for outback tourism.........Thats pretty good, 7.5l/100km at 140 kph.

[@haydenbyrnes3591]

Uluru is pretty hard to describe. I reckon your reaction is just about perfect. We hired bikes and rode around it earlier this year. Was a cool way to see it.

[@lostagain2992]

Love it! Great job!

[@toby7504]

That was spectacular. 🇳🇴☕. Not a bad fuel consumption with all that gear on. 👍🏻

[@roclinmotomedia]

Awesome video!

[@mototrailz]

Nugget is also my hero!

[@JustTex]

From 'the nugget' sighting to the big impressive uluru nugget. Love the excitement , it's kinda shocking when you see it from a distance but them it's even more impressive as you get closer. Not sure why when it's just a rock.....Cheers 4 sharing sir. You reference to the big desert has me stumped though haha

[@NoobRoutz]

Nice one :) how cool is the texture on the rock face!

[@Nerb1]

I forgot to look up if those burrowing giant wombats were real.

[@XLAdvRider]

Proper adventure 👍

[@andronuss]

Dam now I want to go ride there and see it

[@Nerb1]

You have to do it.... parks rules/prices suck, but the rock itself is amazing!

[@davewalton2358]

Brilliant views of the Rock, don't normally get to see it from those sides. What a trip, looking forward to seeing the rest. T7 sounds like the bike for the job. Don't know if I'd push the DR that hard, I know they are tough and the engine might last, but some other bits might fall off (both me and the bike, probably)!

[@morehanthanchewyproduction6823]

Outstanding

[@steven4783]

love it!!!

[@mountainconstructions]

Nice one Nerb

[@TheGardenSnake]

Great video. How much raw footage do you have from this? Like how many gigs.

[@Nerb1]

1.26Tb

[@DanielSmith-vp5vn]

Didnt know nugget was doing the finke.. I would of thought he would be as surprised to see nerb1! Nice edit.. great video and surprised the series is not getting more attention.

[@DanielSmith-vp5vn]

hope you dont have the post ride blues!

[@DanielSmith-vp5vn]

and lastly, I rode an XT660z up that highway at 130-140 and the fuel consumption was the same... went from 4.5l/100klm to 7.5l/100klm.

[@ownyourworld]

Nugget !!

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

Hiding with Tom doesn't seem to be as scared of the camera like he was in some of your other trips.

[@alphonsvanmaanen]

Great vid and edit Nerb! I’m very jealous that you had a full moon at Uluru! It is truly awe inspiring when you actually see the ‘rock’ for the first time! BTW, my 790R was running worst at 5.2L per 100kms at 125 - 130kph in the NT… Are you brakes dragging 🤓

[@Nerb1]

Your 790 must be lean! Ha. Id guess the additional horses mean its not working as hard at high speeds.

[@alphonsvanmaanen]

@@Nerb1 Nah, bike is definitely not running lean… I might be a little more aerodynamic perhaps… No cameras, lower (old man’s) BMI? I do have a bit of luggage on board though :) Looking forward to next episodes 👍👍

[@raptorthumper12]

​ I reckon your indicated speed is out. Just like Nerb's. 142 km/hr indicated is 130 km/hr true GPS. Drag goes up with velocity squared.

[@alphonsvanmaanen]

@@raptorthumper12 Yeah, yeah… I know. My speed is per GPS not the dash / speedo. I’ve been around a while. 👍 Plus I’m running F15 - R46 gearing! 30K km valve check today… All in spec and internals look like new! 790R(ules) 😅

[@peterdd4994]

Mt Augustus in WA is bigger

[@Nerb1]

Yes, but it's not monolithic. It is made of multiple rock types.

[@whocanmakeyourwholeweek7272]

why is ayers rock mostly photographed(comercially) from one side?

[@waynekerr8003]

[@xpllmmff]

How on earth, in every single video regarding Australia motorcycle adventure from different uploaders, Nuggets is always recorded in the footage loud and actively...

[@Nerb1]

Maybe there is more than one of them?

[@bjwilliams6115]

What did you think about the Fodsports on the trip?

[@Nerb1]

I didnt end up taking it on the trip because it didnt have a plug for external headphones and I was using moulded earplugs with built in speakers.

[@bjwilliams6115]

@@Nerb1 darn! No worries! I’m just on the fence between one of the big brands and it. Don’t want to buy twice

[@Nerb1]

@@bjwilliams6115 What will you be using it for? If it is just music/phone, fodsport or any cheap brand for sure. If you are connecting to friends.... get whatever they are using. Connecting different brands is a pain.

[@bjwilliams6115]

@@Nerb1 I will be mainly doing phone and music. That said I need to get my riding group all on the same brand so we’ll see where we land. Thank you for your help and videos and being willing to review the stuff the weekend warrior can afford
