Simpson Desert Adventure! KTM 690 - Part 6 of 6

[@m2eatspam]

I lost a friend a week ago. He was like my brother and the one that taught me most of what I know about bikes. He used to travel around the bush looking for places like this on a BMW GS650. I've been looking for a ride for some friends and I to do to honour his memory. I think the Flinders Rangers will be it.

[@Moleskineman]

Congrats, boys! I´d love to see a sort of debrief video where you all get together and chat about what you liked, hated, needed and didn´t bring, brought and didn´t need and especially about how the bikes handled it. I´d love to know what it was about the Triumph that made it struggle so much!

[@gabhanno]

Agree with James. I'd really like to see a debrief of the trip, gear etc

[@decidedtoride]

+James Murphy Did you see Nerb1's debrief video?

[@xavierbutler8257]

what

[@Moleskineman]

Decided to Ride No, I didn't! I'll give it a watch now, thanks :)

[@MotorcycleJosh1]

But, But, I don't want this series to end... :(

[@danielace4699]

[@AUSABCDrad]

Amazing adventure, a few different elements of our beautiful country into one trip. This is definitely on my bucket list now!

[@diegofianza3525]

Great series. Simpson Desert...Australia in general on motorcycle is on my bucket list.

[@RobsRacingMotoVLOG]

Thank you very much for sharing this with us. What an epic adventure.

[@thefoxx2051]

fuc i love this guy pumpin out the quality and long vids all the time he just keeps frothing u up to go

[@andypandy.]

what a brilliant area to ride, I could spend ages in there exploring all the tracks!!!

[@steve24822]

Added to bucket list. Thanks for the great videos...

[@lwkon3113]

You're a legend Tom RidingWithTom

[@TheHardscoper12]

What a fantastic adventure. Thank you so much for putting the effort into making this series. I watched the entire trip.

[@TheCrumble]

Really enjoyed the series dude. Thanks so much for filming, editing and posting. Really entertaining! Ride safe x

[@swirldr]

That was a awesome adventure! Glad you all made it home in one piece, sorta.

[@RidingJapan]

1mm knobby lefty.looks like you tried to preserve the front as much as you could

[@shirewark]

Awesome trip dude! I'm sure a journey like this has as much toll on the rider as the bike but they're kilometers well spent, a true Aussie adventure. Cheers for taking us with you all

[@Exodus227]

You where at that town during the Volkswagen commercial! They advertising a Golf that had automated parking and did it between a two Ute's/4WDs. Mad!

[@RidingWithTom]

+Exodus227 Yeap! It's a tiny town in the middle of NOWHERE!

[@Exodus227]

+RidingWithTom Maaadddd. P.S. Your videos are sick but this series was the bomb! I would do something like this, but believe it or not, my parents despise me riding a Motorbike (you can guess why). I is jealous.

[@thewhitewood]

Great work guys! Awesome to take the time and share!

[@calebperry7375]

Haha I don't know why but I was expecting that kangaroo to kick the shit out of you lol

[@recom273]

Really enjoyable series of videos .. Thanks for taking the time

[@whma0801]

Tom I gotta say, this was one of my favorite series I've ever watched on youtube. Thanks for sharing... Reminded me of all the good times I had in Australia! I wanna come back!

[@troyboy986]

I would watch a whole series on the Flinders Ranges alone. Great series. Might see you guys when you get to top end.

[@JohnDoe-qy9qg]

Excellent series, from a bike rider NZ

[@KrayyNZ]

Brilliant series. Loved it.

[@ludusvb5724]

Searched for KTM 690 and found this, watched all six parts now. So fun to watch, looked like a great adventure! Some great riding! Also; best ad for KTM 690 ever, now I gotta have one!

[@WarBeardMotoVlogs]

Just an amazing trip! I've actually been looking at the 690 and this has so much insight on how it handles. Thank you!

[@CaptainCarling]

Enjoyed this series, looking forward to more. Well done guys from England

[@Ts_Evildroid]

I did a 3200 mile trip from Washington State to Moab Utah & we rode Moab for 10 days, it was a 15 day trip in total. All on my 2008 KLR650 with 685 big bore kit. Almost 500 miles of offload in total. We took the long way down to Utah & then back the short way. Only thing that happened to my KLR was I bent my left side of my handlebars on a hard crash on the rocks. Would love to ride the dessert like you did some day. I'm thinking of going to Death Valley in a couple years for that dessert riding fix.

[@pudsboi5203]

been watching your vids since you had the Kawasaki and love em. Think the fact that you dont swear all the time makes it much better to watch than others

[@02bigkev]

What a great series, I thank you for Sharing the adventures of everyone. All I can say is thank you. RSM8

[@FormulaFrancois]

Wow! This 6 part series was great fun to watch! Makes me want to tackle such an adventure here in wonderful South Africa! Awesome vids Tom, Love it!!

[@Hooligan6]

what an amazing trip, thank you so much for bringing us along with you, it certainly has motivated me to plan for some adventure rides in the future!

[@andy1718]

Great series Tom, thanks for sharing. Great save by Nerb, pure Dakar stuff! By the way, the riding close clips come out real well, though getting pelted with rocks can't be much fun!

[@bradleywilde2353]

loved this series mate I will had to do the same thing one Australia is a very beautiful country

[@andrewnoble7071]

Good effort Tom looked like a brilliant trip

[@VeeFour]

What a great adventure. Nice one!

[@harveyparkin1710]

What an adventure, what a series!!!

[@kwest239]

now that's an accomplishment even if you didn't manage the Simpson well done !

[@Tanishk_Y]

5:15 I thought that the Kangaroo would kick the shit out of you for giving him nothing.

[@tkaakko2416]

Amazing adventure, thanks for sharing! Kinda makes me want to get a dualsport instead of a road bike. Also I didn't know that it can get that cold even in Australia. I live in northern Europe, and I've been under the impression that it never gets even close to zero in southern places like Australia.

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Great adventure and WOW what a save!

[@banditBrian]

hey well done Tom and Co. great few videos love it. enjoy your next adventure

[@ashleydickson62]

Great vid!! Crazy planning, 4 litres of water each out there, unbelievable. No rim locks on sand.. Lucky there were 4wds to say what was ahead. Chances are you would have run out of fuel.

[@whit3strat]

Enjoyed the series. Thanks for sharing it +ridingwithtom

[@DaveAppleton]

Great set of vids covering your awesome trip,so jealous. Agree with some of the comments that a debrief video is needed,what was good what was not etc. Thanks

[@BorgfeldRider]

Really nice footage in that last episode! ..and that save!

[@matthewcrosby3615]

Awesome series of videos you got there. Felt like watching Long way Down/Around.

[@Butchrknife]

Thanks for sharing!!!! I enjoyed your trip. Crazy sand! I always blow a motor in the shit. Happy trails Around Seattle out!!

[@CosminnYT]

All the videos were amazing. Great job guys.

[@ThisKory]

Sad to see it's over. Now the questions; would you take another 690 through a similar trip, or would you use a different motorcycle? If so, what would you want to use next time? Looking forward to seeing your next adventures!

[@Meadie69]

Great series, what an adventure. Good riding too...

[@sebchenkooo]

just watched it again. fatk what a great series

[@SMED-42]

nice ride Tom. Thanks for sharing

[@jayfinnigan7756]

Simply the best adventure ever. You guys went through all that just to get drunk at some backwoods bar and troll a few kangaroos? EXCELLENT!

[@WTFRichardMoto]

What an epic fucking adventure dude! Glad you all made it out in one piece. Wish I could say the same for the bikes, but it seems to have been well worth it. Awesome videos!

[@nicoow99]

+MrRichardCranium Well that's to be expected for such a hard, long ride. TBH i'm surprised the bikes aren't destoryed more :p

[@WTFRichardMoto]

Tom definitely got off easy. Missing a mirror and a busted fender assembly lol. I can't even imagine going that far on sand/dirt/rocks.

[@bigmak093]

This was honestly one of my favorite series on youtube. Very very well done tom!

[@chrisbender5480]

This great trip. I`ve seen it right now and im very proud for you that you survived it!!! I am a great fan of you an your hardcore-group-friends. Wish i could make a trip like these in europe. I am from Munich, Bavaria, Germany. But also nice is that we have the alps in front of us. Only half an hour and i can crab curves... Like your your youtube channel... lets have more of it. greetingzzzzz Chriz

[@Dashalo]

absolutely amazing series. watched each episode. thanks for the awesome vids.

[@chrisdewhurst719]

Awesome video series Tom. Top effort from all you guys.

[@Nug_180]

[@Tech-49]

[@katsugi183]

[@Gumbile]

[@MrSanchezim]

Last part and I still laughing to intro. What a great job mate. Best series I watched on youtube. Thank you for that.

[@guyault7957]

Some tough riding but dam this looks like fun!! Can't wait to get out there and do some of this. And again awesome series Tom! Best ever!!

[@schemkesa]

Awesome, enjoyed watching all parts at once.

[@TheKruxed]

You want to get a quad bike with a small trailer to follow you guys next time, so it can carry all the tents and fuel yet still keep up, be cheap and never get stuck by the terrain while that guy also has some fun with your guys

[@Eelesie]

Awesome series man. Can't wait to see the American stuff.

[@EuroHeliMalta]

Nice vids mate @Nerb LEGENDARY SAVE mate! come over to Europe!

[@taldzor]

Nice enjoyed this..Thanks for filmed this in great video quality for us!

[@andymck6323]

well done lads great adventure thanks for sharing

[@simonchant761]

Andy Mck 63 . Ive got a good one for that bike by "moto concepts " Australia

[@dawn-moon]

Great series of video's , I was smiling all the time and dreaming of my own adventures very soon on my new 1190R who will be arriving withing 2 weeks. I'm driving a duke 690r , putting some off-road tires on the little bike and I could certainly beat that Tiger , lol. In Belgium the 1190R comes with street tires. Let's practice on those first :)

[@DN4AGDX]

Just watched all six videos. F'ing awesome. I'm looking to pick up a enduro and dual sport bike like the Honda Africa, KTM 660, 690 or possibly a 525exc. Got to get something to replace my ol KX500.

[@Zalonka]

that Triumph tiger though! haha

[@HalosouthparkFAN]

amazing series

[@JDUANE81]

Awesome ride and awesome video's. Very entertaining

[@postiepat1541]

3:30 sounds like the "Oooh! That's going straight in my basket" prank videos

[@m1cky6]

All and I can say is FRICKEN awesome Tom! Really well done, those bikes sure did cop a caining, and you guys must've been so exhausted by the end. Top job by all.

[@gunarslodzins]

4700km in 10 days with camping and at least half of it off-road - impressive to say the least! Next Paris - Dakar ?

[@dheth]

Awesome series really enjoyed watching it!

[@Kudu300]

Bloody awesome show man.

[@mr.mueller7704]

Such a good series bro! Any chance you could do a "how Tom breaks in a 690 enduro R" it would be my favorite moment of the year!

[@wademcghee497]

damn, im sad its over! cheers from Canada

[@HyoRidaamotovlogs]

Awesome series man, look forward to next time!

[@Tiapinna]

Absolutely FREAKING loved this series! Good job with the video making as well as very good riding skills! Cheers mate!

[@ddylanthomson]

Damn good save Nerb!!

[@RubenXB0X360]

[@aserta]

Nice save there, nice save.

[@SuperBRAZO1]

[@diggerswa6966]

[@j-rocksmoto1179]

Well that was a pretty epic bike ride

[@CCSconnected]

Tom you're incredible

[@mylofireblade9914]

Great series mate good job

[@Steves_ADV]

Nicely done mate, I've been enjoying this little series :)

[@theshineesideup]

i have thoroughly enjoyed this series. well done. apart from the fact that i would probably crash and die out there, this was inspirational to say the least. thumbs up!

[@robinlundqvist8048]

awesome adventure!! gonna miss watching these! :)

[@TheBikerScout]

I approve this riding footage!
