Riding 100 Kilometres of SOFT SAND for the BEST Campsite

[@plan_b_adv]

I've been watching your channel for a while now and growing from strength to strength. I'm keen to do a Simpsom Desert crossing next year for my 50th ( most likely solo), and this episode has me thiking I should head to Fraser Is for a few days of sand practice, and it's been a few years since I was there last. I've finally subscribed, keep up the great work mate.

@@plan_b_adv thanks mate. Appreciate that. Are you somewhere near to Fraser Island? You could always ride a beach on the mainland for some practice before getting over to Fraser if that’s an option.

Great video! Thanks! I'm thinking your number plate bolt fits in that brake calliper. Then just cable tie the number plate It's amazing where those bolts fit into. 😅

[@_JoshJB_]

@@ladytradiej8027 my number plate bolts are a lot smaller. 😆

[@FastWombat-j6s]

Fantastic as always mate, might be a good idea to give the bikes a wash with freshwater to get all that sand & salt off if you haven't already

[@_JoshJB_]

@@FastWombat-j6s yea mate. I went to town when I got home. Bike is shining once again.

great content brother, pita on the break caliper - had I been recording my usual rides I would have caught myself having a nice stack on the drz, last w.e, instead the camera chin mount got munched while the camera was safe at home... escaped with a decent bruise on the knee - found out my throttle cable was too tight and the throttle wasn't snapping back properly on right turns and that's where I whiskey'd into a ditch - re-routed the cables now and hopefully I can avoid the same occurrence. Look forward to the next ep.. shakka

@@Morphic-Realms. thanks mate. Hopefully no more whiskey throttle for you 😂 Cheers for watching 🤙🏼

[@Morphic-Realms.]

@@_JoshJB_ heh yeah try an keep it to a minimum event lol

[@williampclarke]

Such an amazing place mate. I actually proposed to my partner at sunset down at the water in front of your campsite at the cape about 3 months ago! Couldn’t have found a nicer place to do it.

[@_JoshJB_]

@@williampclarke that’s awesome mate. Congrats to you both. Great spot for it 👍🏼

[@stevenmarvellous2972]

Cool vid. A couple mates and I rode Fraser a couple of years ago on enduro bikes. A husky in the group also lost the front caliper bolts. Crazy. We pilfered less critical bolts from within the groups bikes until we got back to rainbow

[@_JoshJB_]

@@stevenmarvellous2972 yea right, good to know I’m not alone then 😂 Your solution sounds better than mine was. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

[@beejaytee]

Could take one triple clamp bolt out on either side to use for the front caliper in a pinch. The reason they backed out could be the threads were stretched.

[@_JoshJB_]

@@beejaytee thanks mate. I’ll remember for next time 😁

[@budget-adventure]

Great episode ... tough yakka towards the end! I'm looking forward to the return trip ... but maybe you're not! 😆

[@_JoshJB_]

@@WednesdayRideTasmania I’m always looking forward to a day of riding 😁

Sand fly heaven

[@scamperstephen4811]

What’s happened to the T 7 ,have you still got it

[@_JoshJB_]

@@scamperstephen4811 hey mate, nah it’s gone. Sold it a while back now.

[@jaichambers3312]

PART 3 NOW!!!

[@_JoshJB_]

@@jaichambers3312 7 days 🤣

[@jaichambers3312]

Ive got a klx400r and cant wait to do a big trip, watching these videos cures my feen

[@FatKidontwowheels]

I had a 690 and ended up selling and going to a 500 EXC-F, the sand I ride in (Florida) isn't as loose as the last part of the video... but the 690 with it's fuel in the back of the bike and all the extra luggage he has makes it harder. Great videos and this trip is costing you some money! Blinker and brake line and bolts. What's Day 4 bring?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@FatKidontwowheels you’ll have to tune in and see 😂 💰 💰

[@Modernday_Slave]

ha-ha definitely not a dull trip

[@_JoshJB_]

@@Modernday_Slave never 😉

[@brendenvosper7772]

I’m stunned to see you cut the brake line. Few things, the for clamp bolts might be the right size. You can live without one of them on each side. The brake tied up on you fender bag could have stayed there. You had the option of unbolting the whole assembly without breaking the hydraulic line. Oh well. Live and learn.

[@_JoshJB_]

@@brendenvosper7772 I tied it there once and it was slowly coming off. I just didn’t want to be thinking about it the whole ride. Easier to get rid of it. More expensive. But easier 😂 Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼

[@DIRTFARE]

Ripper edit mate, I’m still cleaning sand out 😂

[@_JoshJB_]

@@DIRTFARE hahaha me too!

[@adamsrcsandadventure700]

Nice vid mate 👍 do you fellas deflate your tires in sand, even a couple psi can make all the difference. Ride on

[@lavs8848]

That's what I was thinking. I know stuff all about dirt bikes but in 4wds it's easily the most important thing in the sand

[@adamsrcsandadventure700]

@@lavs8848 💯% mate

[@_JoshJB_]

@@adamsrcsandadventure700 yea I drop a little bit out. I was running 16 psi for the trip.
