Loved when you passed the 4x4 best feeling

[@motozest7856]

0:08 - 0:12, 0:57 - 1:13 Mate, what do you think about that Safari fuel tank? Good quality? I'm thinking of getting one for my DRZ so I can vlog in the middle of nowhere!

[@samtoshner8002]

I can feel my front end washing out just watching this on a computer

[@TheJoshRodrigues]

Damn that looks like so much fun.

[@SquareLyfe]

Man, I found your channel recently and I have been enjoying all your ADV content. I have a 3900-mile trip planned this summer (July) across the Trans America Trail on my CBR250l. How about I trade you a trip for a trip? I'd love to check out Australia.

[@brock6286]

It’s hard enough to ride across little desert, let alone walk it?

[@BTBSean0]

Nerb ffs Liquid containment mate, there is no substitute, Desert Fox=Junk

[@maddude9650]

Was thinking exact same thing earlier today, I'll mention it to him in person next time I see him

[@fredthebarber]

42 PSI!!

[@jamieknight1853]

Great work Tom... love your vids. A note about tyre pressures, if your struggling run the Tubeliss systen and run like 8psi, but really its all about technique stand on your pegs...constantly. after a week up there I found I couldn't ride the sand sitting down but ripped it at 60-80 kph standing up

[@RidingWithTom]

I had tubliss on my Ktm 690, I could never keep the inner tube at 120psi while on adventure so I don’t like it

[@MisterPrecision13]

Was looking forward to the cooking and drunk around camp segment. 😂

[@raymondorzecki8660]

Hi Tim. What camping tent ..matress .. ground sheet are you using in little desert vids 🤔

[@alexzippel7181]

Shit I love these vids I live in dimboola so can relate btw if you get caught on those dry lakes they’ll take your bike on the spot

[@nerdytech7287]

I would give anything to ride with these blokes. (I have no friends) 😩

[@srartaertert]

hi i love your videos and love the deserts too. but can you give some advice to a beguiner in driving in soft deep sand? i live in Peru and have lots of deserts and hiuge sand dunes! thaks

[@tonyrdr7207]

Hi 👋 mate Tony here from South Australia I just saw no one answered your question I don’t want to hijack this tread send me an e mail at [e-mail] and I will answer your questions as best I can I love deserts also want to ask you about riding at your place Cheers Tony

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Well, I guess I'm first 😁 . Another good clip mate 👍

[@gettingoutdoors41]

How do you find the macpac bush cocoon? Much condensation?

[@iPedroMota]

I see you like it rock hard in the rear too Tom. That pressure ain't coming down unless it's absolutely necessary; Fuel economy, tire life. Brilliant riding, miss Oz.

[@gloomsouls]

People who live in Sydney: it can't be cold in the dessert

[@NippyMoto]

Make some night videos like the good old 2014 days. I loved those 2 videos. Probably my favourite

[@RidingWithTom]

Yeah they were fun, I’ll get the lads together for a night bush bash :)

[@kobeyberkers8486]

need to go out and try the border track in big desert, that will give you a run for your money!!

[@breakawayadv8626]

Awwwww yeah! Fantastic footage as always Tom 😁 keen to see the Simpson run!

[@PhiTonics]

That 60 fps is just *butter* love it!

[@jesse612]

Putting it down, hell yeah. Love the scene of you tailing Nerb at the end, well done.

[@wobblysauce]

And... straight ahead... 1190 fears not bush... but the rider, just a bit.

[@connormoore2118]

FIRST GEAR ALL THE WAY (>_*) lol

[@MrHorty88]

Yamaha should build wr450r

[@bithynian3700]

Very important comment. Yamaha pls step out of the band wagon. You should building bikes for the masses. People needs wr450r

[@MrHorty88]

Bithynian what's the chances? Slim I would say

[@williamdaniels1113]

What bike u on?

[@darkphoenix1756]

Melbourne is the best state not South Australia

[@darkphoenix1756]

2:34 what were the orange things in brendans ears

[@JKDun]

Hey Tom! I'm curious to know the best way to learn to ride in the dirt. Simply get out there and ride? Or would you recommend some kind of "training camps?" I've gotten nearly 200,000 miles under my belt on the road in the last 15 years. But I am a total newbie on the dirt. I'm planning to get a WR in a few months. Any tips and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! Kyle

[@wobblysauce]

The Love-hate relationship with sand...

[@BEETLEJ00CE]

Until I moved to WA I was like you and was a sand padawan. They key is to pin it. Simple. Flat change thru the gears until you get momentum. Love the vids. Only just found you guys. Keep living the dream!!

[@mototrailz]

12:47 Nerb is killing it!!!

[@MotoJournoKris]

This looks like so much fun (and an awesome challenge)!

[@Flip01]

Don't go pissing on SA mate!

[@isaacchambers9127]

South Australia is the and Vick’s like come and rip up are sand dunes in beachport 😡🤬🤬🤬

[@beejaytee]

Did you ever go on the Simpson trip? Awaiting the vid impatiently.

[@_droid]

Do you carry food like those steaks with you the whole time or get it when you get somewhere? Seems heavy.

[@knok2222]

Love your vids! On the other side of the planet but you make me want to visit the AU!

[@backwoodsriders1879]

So what’s the best way to ride sand? Weight the front or rear?

[@nagorracer1014]

@RidingWithTom, did you ride to iron knob in SA today ?????

[@bithynian3700]

Great gang! I love my WR250 ARRRR :):)

[@coopersimpson4745]

Nice job keep doing what your doing it entertaining

[@magoxide7777]

Been riding enduro most my life, sand is horrible when first learning to ride it. But once you get good at it You'll be laughing. Small tips is to give the bike some more snot, grip with your knees & Look further ahead, I can see you looking at your front fender. Great vid

[@magoxide7777]

And a 250 is more that enough. I assure you a great rider on a 250 will make you look like a chump on anything you ride.

[@robpinter5431]

Hi Tom and friends....crossing the Simmo you will find that between the dunes there are flat clay pans which will allow you to rest after riding up the dunes, ride the simmo like a marathon and not a race. Is any one taking some essential show stopper spares, Clutch kit, clutch cable, radiator hose repair, chain links? What do you think of the new tent?

[@RidingWithTom]

Yeah we been to the Simpson before, we have plenty of spares, it makes it easy as we have 3 WR’s, we are al carrying a spare item each, macpac tent is great, for a single wall tent it’s warm and doesn’t get much condensation

[@dridzzhuse1]

What phone mount do you use? It seems to work well.

[@berwickcomputers]

The more vids the batter... keep them coming

[@zemquoi]

Not even Salt or pepper on that fine filet? Question: do you prefer the 690r or the WR250 in the sand?

[@RidingWithTom]

Power was nice on the 690 but less weight is king in the sand, I’d take the WR any day in the sand

[@harley.s.gordongordon829]

Love you guys I am a big fan

[@ballzack4866]

Taut......i believe. Not so much......taunt.

[@jimdoolan2277]

Great video Cheers

[@smittyk7810]

As entertaining as always. Well done.

[@Simo559]

is there no part 3?

[@legomaniac4309]

Love your videos mate

[@tiuskilin2573]

Awesome 👍🏻

[@billcotton1551]

If it rains , does it help you in that sand?

[@RidingWithTom]

I thought it would but didn’t make much difference

[@JoeJoeMoto]

Damn that looked so soft!!!

[@c3147897]

Joejoe!!! Your cape York vids is why I got into adventure riding. Thou art the man!

[@J0RDYV]

What camera do you use to film?

[@RidingWithTom]

GoPro hero 4

[@archie3746]

Think that sand is soft go to WA
