"JESOOS CHROIST" ~ RidingWithTom2015

[@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]

+MotorcycleJosh1 Yo MJ1!

[@MotorcycleJosh1]

[@lwkon3113]

You're a legend Tom RidingWithTom

[@calebperry7375]

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

[@AUSABCDrad]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@thewhitewood]

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

[@recom273]

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

[@FormulaFrancois]

[@TheHardscoper12]

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

[@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

[@CosminnYT]

All the videos were amazing. Great job guys.

[@KrayyNZ]

Brilliant series. Loved it.

[@RidingJapan]

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

[@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!

[@chrisdewhurst719]

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

[@Tiapinna]

[@whit3strat]

[@troyboy986]

[@steve24822]

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

[@banditBrian]

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@VeeFour]

What a great adventure. Nice one!

[@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.

[@andrewnoble7071]

Good effort Tom looked like a brilliant trip

[@schemkesa]

Awesome, enjoyed watching all parts at once.

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Great adventure and WOW what a save!

[@taldzor]

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

[@dheth]

Awesome series really enjoyed watching it!

[@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.

[@Meadie69]

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

[@Steves_ADV]

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

[@Tanishk_Y]

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

[@gs1doll]

[@ivobondptbe]

Hey Tom. I've watched now all of the Desert Adventure videos and I just simply have to say that I really enjoyed "following" you around in the outback. I think you guys are a really funny group to hang out with. I would love to one day have an adventure like this one. Btw really nice save Nerb1, I "shat" myself. And if that's not all you own my dream bike, S1000RR :D

[@RidingWithTom]

[@Butchrknife]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@RubenXB0X360]

cant wait for the next adventure!!

[@Zalonka]

that Triumph tiger though! haha

[@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.

[@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!

[@A_Blue_1]

Loved every part - keep it up !!! :)

[@postiepat1541]

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

[@Triplecheeseyo]

excellent entertainment! Love watching your videos :D

[@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 :)

[@Likeaboss10ification]

Love these tom

[@andymck6323]

well done lads great adventure thanks for sharing

[@simonchant761]
