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]

[@Moleskineman]

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

You're a legend Tom RidingWithTom

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!!

[@MotorcycleJosh1]

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

[@danielace4699]

+MotorcycleJosh1 Yo MJ1!

[@MotorcycleJosh1]

What's up!

[@calebperry7375]

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

[@andypandy.]

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

[@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!

[@swirldr]

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

[@recom273]

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

[@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.

[@CaptainCarling]

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

[@steve24822]

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

[@thewhitewood]

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

[@KrayyNZ]

Brilliant series. Loved it.

[@bigmak093]

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

[@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!

[@troyboy986]

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

[@MrSanchezim]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@whit3strat]

Enjoyed the series. Thanks for sharing it +ridingwithtom

[@CosminnYT]

All the videos were amazing. Great job guys.

[@banditBrian]

[@chrisdewhurst719]

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

[@harveyparkin1710]

What an adventure, what a series!!!

[@andrewnoble7071]

Good effort Tom looked like a brilliant trip

[@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!!

[@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!

[@matthewcrosby3615]

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

[@Jacob88rOblivion]

Loved the series Tom!!! Absolutely brilliant!

[@Tiapinna]

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

[@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!

[@Dashalo]

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

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Great adventure and WOW what a save!

[@02bigkev]

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

[@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.

[@RidingJapan]

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

[@VeeFour]

What a great adventure. Nice one!

[@kwest239]

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

[@opforr7]

Great series. loved watching them

[@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.

[@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.

[@BorgfeldRider]

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

[@Meadie69]

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

[@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

[@dheth]

Awesome series really enjoyed watching it!

[@bradleywilde2353]

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

[@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.

[@Eelesie]

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

[@JDUANE81]

Awesome ride and awesome video's. Very entertaining

[@JohnDoe-qy9qg]

Excellent series, from a bike rider NZ

[@Butchrknife]

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

[@SMED-42]

nice ride Tom. Thanks for sharing

[@HyoRidaamotovlogs]

Awesome series man, look forward to next time!

[@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]

+BeMoto thanks man!

[@joshuadavis8404]

+RidingWithTom where is our 2015 s1000rr

[@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

[@Tech-49]

[@Steves_ADV]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@SuperBRAZO1]

I swear your the best motovlogger

[@ProofBenny]

Loved it mate , well done

[@Angrywuukong]

[@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

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@tomw7763]

awesome series man

[@Tanishk_Y]

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

[@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!

[@katsugi183]

one hand with coffee ,riding on rocky roads like a boss ^.^

[@ddylanthomson]

Damn good save Nerb!!

[@RubenXB0X360]

cant wait for the next adventure!!

[@Zalonka]

that Triumph tiger though! haha

[@diggerswa6966]

Do we ever get to see you Tom, should do some self interview on your thoughts or worries

[@EuroHeliMalta]

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

[@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.

[@gunarslodzins]

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

[@Nug_180]

so this golf ad I've been seeing and it was even on this video... you were there wooow
