Paddy's Flat Motorcycle Camping: Steve's Northern NSW Adventure Take 3 Part 1 - MVDBR Enduro

I meet up with T7 Steve for another Northern NSW adventure, this time joined by Jorge on his Honda CRF300 Rally. We see some epic sights and ride some awesome trails on this adventure. Part one sees me making my way to Toowoomba to meet Steve, then on to Warwick to grab Jorge. From there it's scenic roads to our mint campsite at Paddy's Flat on the Clarence River. Jorge gets mauled by bot flies. Grab a sweet deal on an Olight Seeker 4 Pro during the flash sale ending 16/12/23: www.olightstor...

A foot note; Having the Two bikes, if you can, its the best. The T7 is perfect for long haul trips and camping The KTM690 is perfect for the fun Day Rides that you do a lot of, each bike has their merits and purpose...

[@MVDBR]

Yeah exactly my thoughts mate 🍻

[@RozalynVeersma]

And thanks for the review on the Olight…ordered one so I can clearly see the Yowie at Paddy’s Flat next time! 😂👍

[@MVDBR]

Hahaha yeah you have to keep an eye on those Yowie movements 😬

Go Black Betty! A true Thoroughbred 👍

[@mrwill1969]

Warm weather , stunning vistas , good mates , camping and beer . Living the dream bro. Keen for part 2 . Cheers 🍻

[@MVDBR]

I know sequels are rarely better than the originals in the movies but I think part 2 of this shenanigans will be the highlight, cheers ears 🍻

[@jockcampbell4233]

Gday mate. I bought a Tenere a few weeks back and the first job was to sort the back brakes. I live in Orange NSW and a bloke by the name of Johnny Prior runs a moto shop here in town called Orange Motorcycle Service Centre. He’s a very decorated dirt bike rider from his time. He hooked me up with organic material rear brake pads made by Newfren part number FD0206BD and we adjust the rear master cylinder piston so there was just the slightest contact of pads on the rear disc. Perfection and no more 3 inch’s of brake pedal plunging to the ground. That simple, I’m talking 450cc dirt bike rear brake feel. Look into lads 👌🏾 save money on that Camel foot pedal rubbish.

[@MVDBR]

Good tip, cheers Jock 🤘

[@RozalynVeersma]

Paddy’s Flat Road & the valley is a great little spot. Did you know there’s a little cemetery where you were camping? 🤞😂⚰️ It’s always an adventure…carry on! 😁👍🏍🏍🏍💨

[@MVDBR]

Hi Roz! Thanks for the comment, no I didn't know about a cemetery... hope it's not an Indian burial ground I have enough bad luck already haha. Cheers 🍻

[@anotherguyonabike4726]

How goods paddy’s flat camping great flowing river sand to camp on🙌

[@MVDBR]

It's a very nice spot and lots of room to spread out too. Pity the water was so warm that day!

[@soupysocksenduro]

loving the country side ride boys!! keep it up!

[@MVDBR]

Cheers mate 🤘

[@concernedcitizen5506]

I’ve ridden Paddy’s Flat about 4 or 5 times. The first few times it was so much fun and grippy. Since they’ve graded it it’s very sketchy in places and not as much fun. The swimming is amazing on a hot day.

[@MVDBR]

Yeah I've seen footage of it looking a lot better than that. But yeah the swimming would have been a lot better if the water wasn't like 30 degrees 😬 cheers

[@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449]

Fantastic views mate 👍, I brought a Rally , my my on his 701 Husky , KTM 890. ,1090 DRZ 400 couldn’t keep with me in the bush tracks ( except my m my mate on the 701 ) he was blown away “ power is definitely not everything. It does help out of the corners but . Rode in that slippery crap 2 days ago down a mountain with lots of sharp corners “ was pretty hairy 😂😂😂.

[@MVDBR]

Yeah no one really needs a whole lot of power but man it's fun to have. Cheers mate hope ya have a good Xmas 👌🍻

[@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449]

You to mate 👍

[@randycampbell4196]

Last time i went through paddys flat road was around april 2023. They were doing road works so big sections were compacted clay. Was fine when dry, but after rain it was like ice. And I’ve still got a layer of the mud from it on my bike.

[@MVDBR]

Haha yeah I can imagine that bulldust when compacted and wet would be pretty deadly 🍻

[@ianferrier235]

That was fun Josh, always good to have a crew.

[@MVDBR]

Good fellas 🍻🍻

[@OnyabikeMike]

Amazing scenery and riding Josh, except for the bull dust 🤔Looks like a great trip, be interesting to see how the 300 Rally goes, of course Black Betty was the choice for this trip, cheers mate 👍👍🍻🍻🥃🥃

[@MVDBR]

Mint area down there mate pity it's a bit of a hike from here to get there, would love to explore more. Cheers Mike 🍻

[@JustTex]

It doesn't seem to take much rain to turn everything green, cheers 4 sharing sir.

[@MVDBR]

Yeah real green on that side, plenty of water around. On day 2 we headed west a bit and it was so different 😬 cheers

[@JustTex]

@@MVDBR interesting , was bushfires when i was down there last...

[@davidcauchi2837]

Hey Josh! Thanks for sharing the ride, fantastic scenery, the variation of roads was tops, the camp site was great, to have a nice creek to have a dip is the best. Last weekend I had done the Flinders Ranges and managed a couple of tracks, its been pissing down here in SA for the last 4 days... OK safe travels and looking forward to the next one! David.....Adelaide/Kilburn.....Street Scrambler 900.......

You must be proud mate look at me leaving my state again hahaha. Not quite Victoria but it's something 😜 cheers mate

[@HippoDrones]

What an awesome camping spot. Them CRF300 Rally bikes had me quite tempted prior to getting my Aprilia, would have been able to sell the Beta then too!

[@MVDBR]

I haven't actually ridden a 300 yet mate (I'll have to have a go soon) but I reckon the power would be a bit underwhelming. Other than that a great all rounder 💪

[@HippoDrones]

@@MVDBR aye... but had I gotten it prior to my Aprilia, it'd feel more like my old Beta for power, so although less than my current Beta, it wouldn't be as noticiable compared to now vs the Tuareg 660

@@JustTex Perfect size and I didn't need the duffle bag on top. Kept the weight nice and low. Seems like good quality, see how long the straps and stitching last.
