[@CharlieOliverBates]

I love that you’re still making videos. I get all nostalgic when I see a riding with Tom upload.

[@snakeyez26]

Everytime I hear the "HOW'S IT GOING, GENTS?!". big smile

[@hackgolfer7352]

28 days, looking forward to this. Your wife is a saint for letting you go, hang on to that one.

[@RidingWithTom]

Oh yeah i should tell her...

[@AboutaMileAdventures]

@@RidingWithTom I'm sure she'll figure it out after a couple of days.

[@flangmasterj]

Love seeing dudes take 250's on monster trips. Can't wait to follow along.

[@mattyoz0]

I'm so excited about this. Your wr looks great with the new wheels and tyres.

[@ridebecauseucan1944]

Have an awesome adventure ! Can’t wait till you post it. WR250R is probably the most reliable bike in the group.

[@Porkycheun]

It’s going to be EPIC!!! Can’t wait to see the videos! 🤩 « It will be easy, they said… » 🤣

[@jaseferry1016]

Looks like a great trip and a good series to watch can't wait👍ride safe gents👌

[@Gurbinator]

These trips are friggin amazing, cheers for still making these videos. Will be following from the Netherlands!

[@brandonbenn8570]

This guy has made some of my favorite videos ever. Good luck on your trip man!

[@robpinter5431]

Hi Tom, it's going to be a great ride for sure, suggestion, route the spare clutch cable along the existing cable so if the original cable fails you just need to connect up the end points. Also don't trust the waterproofness of the bags, put your sleeping bag in a stuff sack, and your fuel bladder and chair in a duffle bag, so you don't lose them if the strap comes loose.

[@markbuilder1338]

Welcome back from Covid Tom.Really looking forward to this new adventure.

[@Flip01]

Have a great trip hope all goes well. Looking forward to some awesome footage.👍🔥

[@bloggs24]

I live in Broken Hill, they're currently filming Furiosa in Silverton, Chris Hemsworth is in town atm.

[@budget-adventure]

Yeah, might pay to get onto the museum fb page they post announcements if they are open or not

[@BradWebsterNOXQZ]

Good luck on the trip, looking forward to following the vlogs

[@RadSalacan]

Always a blast watching you guys get prepped and set up. Then make the trip!

[@AridersLifeYT]

14:48 - Tom, you should put some Polystyrene Panels inside the garage door, it insulates it well and keeps the garage warmer in winter and colder in summer. i did it at home and its noticeable. costs about $300. i got mine from ebay.

[@wobblysauce]

Makes quite the difference, cooler and warmer.

[@northwestrider369]

One day I would love to do a trip like this with you guys. Will never happen because I’m in America. I know it’s a lot of work to edit your videos with all the footage you get on these trips. But please continue to make videos. Seeing your adventures is the best content on KZbin.

[@woollybut]

Making my childhood trip, lived in Swan Hill and we had a sheep station near Boulia. Did a similar trip a couple times a year. Great country especially with all the rain lately!

[@paulr4378]

thank god , another riding with tom adventure! we were waiting for too long

[@bankaydin]

It woud be great to see a breakdown of your tools Tom. Good luck!

[@jasonalexander7434]

Looking forward to the "Everything went tits up!" Video :P Have a good trip guys, cant wait to see it.

[@lwrich2229]

Hey, as a WR250R owner/rider, just want to say, "Thanks for not giving ip on the WR250R" like so many have. Great bike, 300 or not. Cheers to your trip! From USA-SC.

[@bikeridernz6169]

Great to see another adventure trip Tom. Excellent.

[@Bornie205]

Enjoyed that. Glad you and the lads are back. Looking forward to seeing the trip

[@dirtroadadventures]

Hey Tom, curious what knee protection you're using on a long trip like this, could you say a few words? Looking forward to footage from the trip, have fun!

[@codyking3010]

Awesome video, looking forward to the trip. Just found a 2020 WR250R for sale with less than 100 miles on it, going to pick it up next saturday. Your videos are the reason I'm getting that bike

[@billcotton1551]

I 'll be watching Tom ,have a safe trip!

[@jemirandav]

Subscribed immediately after listening "11.000 Kms". Looking forward for the next videos, safe ride!

[@lockeddiffbro6177]

Great stuff Tom wish all the best on you trip! Love your content!

[@barrymurphy3554]

Nice Guys Look forward to the huge adventure Stay safe looks very cool

[@link1478]

LETS GO. this is something I'm gonna do. duke 390 camping setup. ideal offroad

[@davidgoodland6780]

looking forward to watching the series brother!

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

Can’t freaking wait. 28 days off work to ride. I can’t even imagine…

[@VeeFour]

Holy crap! That’s an insanely big trip 😳😳😳

[@spudoc9]

I’ve loved your video’s for a long time but this little series might just almost top them all off. 🤙

[@KaneTerry]

Good to see the WRR is still being ridden, good luck with the trip

[@adriancurley2598]

Hell yer that's going to be an epic trip mate and enjoy your travels 👌👌

[@seekadv8066]

fuark moi. full send on this trip, jealous as! look forward to the footage & best of luck to yas.

[@Sheeeeepies1]

Fuarkin skitz lad, good luck, cheers for inspiring me to get out to the dunes

[@dynamadnessadventures205]

That’s a great trip. I thought you would have taken the orange beast. Ride safe and have an awesome time

[@AT2021Rocker]

Love your wr! Rigged up very nicely!

[@tbillington]

You're a madman Tom. Why the WR over the KTM? Must admit the WR is looking awesome after the refresh.

[@Porkycheun]

Because reliability! 😂

[@r1bayside276]

Best part was when you referred to it as Ayers Rock 👍

[@timmystan1]

i have a 9000km trip coming up lol. going to be riding in some of the same locations but ill be riding a xt660z ;)

[@ktmkevin]

When you first said 11.000 km I was like damn. But when you said 28 days I was like okay it's official now, he's mental. Almost 400 km per day on average. On a 250?! Wtf!

[@RidingWithTom]

yeah is a psycho planning this one

[@AridersLifeYT]

thats a MASSIVE trip!

[@erikz2754]

Goodday well you will need your wet gear and fitt hand warmers its a wash out in Q.land all the best on the trip

[@JoshDurston]

I don't normally notice tires, but those Motoz are eye catchers for a dual sport. They seem to be super expensive here in Canada (like everything).

[@davedakozman4966]

Hey Tom. They look like MotoZ Dual Venture front tires I think. I was looking at putting those on for a trip from Sydney to Cape York and back but try as I may, I can’t find a review on the net that says they don’t wear quite quickly. Everything else is great but the blocks ramp fairly early in the piece. Maybe okay on a lighter bike though. They say they are reversible which is great but better not to have to. Would you mind giving us an update on the wear because I would prefer to buy Australian If I can. Safe travels!

[@nyedavis922]

Can I just make one suggestion - the wheel bearings SM pro use seem to be pretty shit. That or they don't grease the bearings before installing in the hubs. I've had two sets of SM pro wheels now for WRs. Both sets the front wheel bearings have failed in the first 1-2k miles. Comparatively I put almost 20k on the OEM hubs and before replacing bearings. Since replacing the bearings they've been fine and are about 3k miles in with no play. Lovely wheels, the just seem to cheap out on the bearings

[@wv4life375]

Would it help if you crossed the straps on the Nelson Rigg bags? Make an X and move it back maybe just enough?

[@mosca3289]

Lightweight for the win.

[@Garifuna_Retreat]

Damn, you Aussies are serious with your dual sports😯

[@Glen-t7x]

Wow! Are you really going to do all that riding. I gotta watch this

[@richardlindsay9100]

Looking forward to the updates!!

[@mattyoz0]

Can i ask why you didn't want to try it on the 790?

[@mattpreece5112]

The Tractionator Adventure are pretty decent mate, i reckon youll make the 11k with some spare. Alittle stiff to change roadside but offer good puncture resistance so hopefully you wont need to. Havent tried the DV's yet, tried to score some but they were out of stock. Good luck, soak it up and stay safe👊

[@2fifty_ad819]

Do you have a video on your light set up ?

[@BobbyJovanovich]

Yes, I'm so keen to watch this and slightly jealous..

[@martibtube]

If you decide on Cairns instead of Townsville, I can show you some local tracks on my WR... Have a great trip..

[@zachhooper9080]

Love the setup. Does anyone currently sell something similar to those front wolfman bags?

[@grantwoolhouse8625]

Awesome trip!!!

[@mcdonaldslover52]

have you tried mosko moto reckless 40? perfect setup for these little bikes

[@jasonwelsford]

Just wondering if youve upgraded the forks base valve ? if so, any info on the shim stack youre running? im trying to work mine out!

[@ManBikeSwag]

Is it pronounced Moto Z or Mot OZ? I have always thought the later because they are an Australian company. I'm looking forward to watching both yours and nerbs perspective of the trip. !

[@2fifty_ad819]

Do you have a video on your gear you have on your bike ?

[@moto-mart7021]

Awesome looks like it's going to be an exciting trip,well set up,why the WR an not the ktm,what happened to the 790??🤔🙄

[@TheProfoundPenguin]

I think he still enjoys ktm but the wr250r isn't going to let him down. He had a trip a few years back on a ktm690 that had the engine go and he was stranded.

[@RidingWithTom]

i crashed the 790, its been at ktm for repairs since feb :(

[@moto-mart7021]

True atleast your all in one peace an getting back out there,👍cant wait for your megga adventure😉 looks awesome, safe travels looking faward to your next production 👍🍻

[@Alien590]

Nice!! Im exited for the videos! :D

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

Do you also have the low seat concepts seat or std height? The low without lowering link looks like it would be too sloped fwd, but seems to look okay on yours.

[@justinwright6611]

Very much looking forward to your adventure! Will be epic as usual! I do have a question though: why did you and Brendan have lowering links? I’m short, so automatically think everyone is tall and would have no need for lowering links.

[@southerndeth]

It would be nice to have a Safari Tank for my KLX300.

[@mattpreece5112]

Thats going to be epic bro👌

[@lostagain2992]

Tom’s alive!!!!!!

[@ownyourworld]

When are the episodes coming out ?

[@travishimself1973]

How loud is that pipe? Thinking about throwing one on my wr. Looks like you can use the stock heat shield too.

[@timharris258]

Hi Tom, looking forward to see the trip. The big 500 is not ready for this kind of trip yet?

[@RidingWithTom]

500 is always going to be a 1-3 day trip bike, it will never do anything this size

[@adeavers7]

Please do a video on the 500 exc-f mods and upgrades you did!

[@davidfindlay5432]

I have same bike, try the front strap under the seat

[@kuladeeluxe]

What is the weight savings with the new rims?

[@venugopal-zu8je]

Epic. Take care.

[@Editname972]

How do you find the GYTR exhaust? Notice anything other than sound?

[@TechNoirJapan]

Mate can you do a review on the Yamaha Niken and Can-Am Spyder RT Cheers!

[@barrymurphy3554]

Looking forward to You Guys doing what you do best ride & enjoy yourself. My Mates are riding 701s LR So look forward to seeing this trip. The Guys are in there early 60s concerned about the weight. Ok stay say Cheers

[@rockbiterhd]

Are they tubeless tyres

[@AsphyxiationEnthusiast]

Hey Tom, What gearing are you running for your trip? front and rear?

[@lukebarton3974]

Yes I’m curious too!!

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

Wow finally uploaded a new video, I thought you were quiting youtube man

[@andrewheadland9341]

Hi Tom have ever had the topend rebuilt cheers

[@RidingWithTom]

The valve check was the first time the motor has been opened

[@rse617]

That strap could probably go under the seat if you don't intend on taking the bags off during the trip. The bike is looking clean mate.

[@Znybar]

Where did the Mt10 go mate? Looks like you're on an epic ride!

[@daniellindstrom9002]

I need those ims tank graphics! Do you have a link?

[@jameswesterman5882]

My old man is doing a fuel stop on the finke at the 80k mark, he's got a motorcross sidekart set up with him.

[@bryce6267]

what rear tail tidy is that? Also would you of taken the 790 if it was in 1 piece

[@anonymous_friend]

What phone charger was that? Is it magnetically holding the phone?

[@konradsosnowski6713]

Do the saddle bag straps fit under the seat?

[@gnutts]

I'm sure this info is somewhere easy to find or i missed it. What gearing you running

[@grantwoolhouse8625]

Where is the 790?

[@budget-adventure]

Stop in and see Adrian and Linda at the mad max museum, great spot. Can’t wait to see the trip, you seem to be packing light lol but half the time you pack too much shit anyway

[@heinejonker4981]

Good Luck with the trip ..... Do you have any programmer on the bike or just the GYTR exhaust and kept all the AIS

[@RidingWithTom]

It jus has o2 sensor, the gytr exhaust doesnt have ais or butterfly valve

[@heinejonker4981]

@@RidingWithTom Thanks enjoy your trip

[@MrBlunders70]

Can you fit those bag straps under your seat?

[@bobbuilder9813]

Is it me or is he on a newer model wr250 that looks new haha
