Great video take care brother 👍👍👍🇦🇺

Gods country, top stuff

[@ritchieok29]

I’m loving seeing this though someone else eyes for the their first time. Trust me, you’ll be a different person and rider when you get back. You probably already are, and planning the next trip.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

Life changing, skill set has changed dramatically too, still on road and planning so many more trips.

[@stevetheaxe]

You bloody legend. Have just found you so cant wait to find part 1.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@stevetheaxe thanks brother! First few videos just finding my way around editing! Outback is where it's at!

[@roadstrom]

Excellent stuff 👍 stay safe mate enjoy

[@SeanC1959]

You've gone a long way Paul. Have fun, look out for those crocs and stay safe.✌

@@SeanC1959 thanks Sean, can't describe the feeling of freedom enough

[@SeanC1959]

@@TheIndianCrusader I'm gearing up to do a small tour myself Paul. I'll refamiliarize myself with touring and then take on a big one. Cheers mate.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@@SeanC1959 funny how it's a big country but like anything if you chop it up into bite size pieces it ain't that bad... and each day break down into bite size pieces too. No doubt your ride will bring back all the great memories for you and spur you on

[@SeanC1959]

@@TheIndianCrusader For sure Paul.

[@crhooke7449]

I'm enjoying your ride. Have to like the openness of the outback hwy"s and minimal traffic . Also video quality is clear. Great stuff.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@crhooke7449 thanks heaps for watching. I have no social media presence and this is a first for me to share something like this. Stay upright!

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@crhooke7449 and rapt to hear the quality of footage is working well. Hard to know when on the remote roads and no chance to review

[@motley95]

Its awesome seeing how you're getting more and more comfortable on the camera and finding your rhythm. Loving the trip so far and can't wait to see more of your adventure!!

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@motley95 thanks its been a bloody journey learning as I roll. Love the old chop btw , very cool

[@AnthonyZgolak]

I love the videos. Living vicariously through your trip. I did a similar trip 20yrsrs ago on a XJ900. There is so much to see in the land of OZ. Keep up the great work.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

Greatest country on the planet

[@nightsterfan]

Hubby and I love watching your travels. Cannot wait for the next road and next town.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@nightsterfan this has made my day! Next day of adventure loading now for viewing!

[@WreckingCrewHR4K]

Love it, Blue sky and glorious sunshine all the way, Pissing down here,..Hey don't let other people's opinions become your reality, the footage is just fine brother.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@WreckingCrewHR4K I'm dreading hitting the cold over there. It's good to also hear about footage. Sometimes overthink it

[@WreckingCrewHR4K]

@@TheIndianCrusader Hey up! your subs are slowly rising and it's so nice to see you have interest from other well known MotoVlogers and owners of other American motorcycle brands, there are to many brand haters in the world today, I've lost count of the number of bikes I have owned in my 58 years of riding, I have loved and cherished every single one of them, most of them were British of course, I would still own a faithful 80s H-D Tour Glide if it wasn't for a head on collision with a drunk driver that wasn't insured, still suffer with the injuries caused, Life sometimes throws you curve ball, just like you are doing catch it and kick goal.... Love the Charlie Puth song Attention, should make it one of your signature tunes.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@WreckingCrewHR4K that's quite sad to read about the accident, more importantly it is good to still have you with us after something like that. I agree 100% and don't understand the 'niggle' between brands, especially the 2 big American Goliath's in I and HD. They built a culture off the back of their brand and we should be thankful for both of them. I'm the same with cars over all these years, cherished every single brand and there have been a few! I reckon its a catchy tune too!

[@WreckingCrewHR4K]

@@TheIndianCrusader I love pussys too he he!! Nah I know you meant cars, or did you.

[@gregjameson2141]

Lots of barra caught in that Norman river

[@vk2aafhamradio]

aw heck, I was hoping for a Hero Honda or Royal Enfield. Them's propa Indian motorcycles!

[@MrSunnyuber]

80-90 kph is puuurfect.... you get to have a good look around. (and the reflection in your sunnies is like an additional camera...great stuff)

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@@MrSunnyuber 100% agree, less buffeting too

[@scottrubie6826]

I've found you day 9 where the real adventure is. Chieftain limited rider here did uluru from Brisbane triangle in 2019 with some mates. It's a bloody amazing country when you get out and see it. Safe journey and hope you don't have to do any causeway river crossings.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@scottrubie6826 I could spend the next 10 years on outback roads... it's taken a hold of me, not looking forward to rolling back to a city, bloody rat races! Even Geelong feels like a rat race now! Stay safe ✌️

[@scottrubie6826]

@@TheIndianCrusader yeah it will take some getting used to.

[@digbysdownunder]

Hey buddy.. good one , bringing back some great memories. I have a 2018 RM Elite.. have d9ne 2 laps of Australia. All video as well...124.000klms in 5 years.. 22 was my last one.. enjoy the outback there is nothing like it.. ride safe and c u out there..

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@digbysdownunder magnificent! I'm already thinking a clock wise lap next. Long haul has taken hold of me ✌️

[@digbysdownunder]

@TheIndianCruisader gets under ur skin hey.. unfortunately there are a few towns to avoid, or at the least fill up and keep going.. 😕 cheers

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@digbysdownunder bloody oath... I was going to talk about that in the next video about to drop... a lot of places to avoid, being warned by locals everywhere I roll too

[@Hipporider]

Back when I insisted on wearing a half face helmet in the late 80s,early 90s,i was getting a sun burnt face. I thought it a clever idea to put zinc cream across my face. I got a few k down the road and ran into a cloud of midges. I then had numerous midges squirming, stuck in the zinc cream. 😂. Bugger that. Another year after that, a bee sting on my face while using the half face left me with a swollen face, blinded in one eye from swelling for about a day and I can confirm your spatial awareness while riding with one eye working is a problem. I switched to full face helmets after that. Working with brain injured people helped my decision as well, regarding the switch to full face. But, each to their own. Enjoy the trip. 👍🇦🇺

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@Hipporider haha yes those stories are familiar. Windscreen on this bagger has made a world of difference. I have several helmets... this ride started off as a one day ride and now I've ended up half way around the country..... I have a moto x helmet with me now too... I just prefer to closed face and still get good protection. Stay safe ✌️

[@Hipporider]

@@TheIndianCrusader once you've ridden a bike with a decent screen /fairing, there's no going back to naked bikes, IMO.

[@johnmech4617]

Hey mate, been watchin ya and pretty cool what you are doing. whats your camera set up? I noticed no vibration and good footage.

[@TheIndianCrusader]

@johnmech4617 thanks, kinda learning as I roll. It's a gopro Hero 12 black. I have a jaws claw (around $60) which is awesome and grips onto just about anything. After 6,000km it finally snapped on me with all the twisting so just bought another one yesterday. Footage is standard 30fps but I'm messing with that for new footage at 60fps. Go the jaws and gopro, don't need anything other than that ✌️
