Having driven those 'roads' before, both my wife and I picked where you were riding. But because we did it in 4x4, you got to see many better views then we did (I'd never even try to attempt some of those tracks you did). It goes to show you though, that you see more when riding then you do in a vehicle. Just going a different way to get to a location is what my wife and I love, to us it is what the trip should be. Hopefully one day soon, we'll be picking up our own bikes soon, we plan on doing many trips like this now the kids are grown up. Cheers for the video mate, I've sub'd and left a like. Have a good one mate.

Thanks so much. But you are right, you get to soak it all in when on a bike. Plus you can cover more ground quicker, and explore some places a 4WD may not! Thanks for the sub.

[@leighhill9185]

Great video. Love your work! Nothing better than getting out on the bike amongst nature!

[@_JoshJB_]

@@leighhill9185 I agree! Thanks 🙏

Out nanango. That's where i am. Great riding out here

[@_JoshJB_]

@@thebudgetadventurer1879 sure is mate. Wish I was a bit closer to it!

[@Jarrodshayadventures]

Spotto on the Shay Locomotive 👍🏻 somewhere somehow related to my ancestry. Didn’t even know it was there. Definitely going to check that out. Awesome vid as usual 🤙🏻

[@_JoshJB_]

@@Jarrodshayadventures yea nice mate! Definitely worth a look. Cheers for watching 👍🏼

@@jakewilliamson thanks mate. It was great

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Sweet ride and campsite Josh. Inspirational as I just bought a DRZ 😎👍

[@_JoshJB_]

@@MidCoastAdventures thanks mate. That’s good to hear, welcome to the club 😁

[@sorenmelchior]

Looks like a great trip so far. I have not done any camping yet with my DRZ here in Alaska, life has just been to busy to get away the last few years. Looks super relaxing though, thanks for the great footage.

[@_JoshJB_]

@@sorenmelchior thanks 😁 Yea things get busy sometimes. Just have to lock in a date and make it happen. You won’t regret it

What a spot, great ep man

I want that sunset and vibe. And your DRZ400e is gorgeous

looked like a nice ride and camp Josh 😎👌now to wait for p2 😁🍺

@@jefftaswelder9154 it was great 😁

[@philmenzies2477]

Hey man, that Lake Cressbrook was pretty impressive. I live in a rural area and its nothing for farmers to put up road closed/no thru/private property signs whether it really is or not. Especially the old timers who think because their father opened the area it "belongs" to them now. Only thing I could suggest if you want to explore the area more, is talk to Real Estate Agents and find out who owns which property and try to talk to the property holders. Most times the farmers are receptive to requests from respectable visitors and will usually have suggestions for more areas to explore. Looking forward to Part 2

[@_JoshJB_]

@@philmenzies2477 thanks for the advice mate. I’ve found that on a lot of my travels that “no through road” or sometimes even “private property” signs are just locals trying to keep people off a public access road. Not all but some. But yea a bit of respect can go along way and most people are easy going if you are friendly enough. 🤙🏼

Just awesome mate! Some great tracks out that way!!

[@timmcpherson9384]

@6:30mins - They had to build a steel cage around a 100 year old restored locomotive? what sort of locomotive thieves do you have in Toowoomba?? 🤣🤣🤣

[@_JoshJB_]

@@timmcpherson9384 😂😂 if it’s not caged or bolted down I guess it’s fair game 🤣

[@tims728]

Sadly its easier to put the cage around the item rather than the deadhead who wants to scribble something a child would write in crayon on or other dumb stuff to. ​@_JoshJB_

Awsome vid! Was pretty close to considering joining you on your instagrams story invite! I love filming and riding! Started my own little channel! Alwasy watching your stuff on the telly. Very clear resolution!

@@manandbikeadv need to get the bike out again 😁

[@jb26]

Cheers for another great vid mate! Hey what hot grips do you use? Had a wrist injury a while back in my left hand is always cold. It's also getting into the negatives in nz now.

[@_JoshJB_]

@@jb26 thanks mate! I’ve got the Oxford heated grips. 👍🏼 You’d definitely need them in NZ 🥶

[@glenns001]

Best pies at Blackbutt bakery, do you still have the T7?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@glenns001 T7 was sold a while back mate.

Mate I live near Blackbutt and have just bought CF Moto 450mt. Hit me up in you want to go for a cruise!

[@vindictive999]

great stuff again i f i may ask what plan are you using for your garmin ?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@vindictive999 just the base plan most of the time. I move up to the next plan for the bigger week or two week adventures.

[@191941pilot]

Hi Josh, great video. What helmet do you use and why?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@191941pilot Bell MX-9 adventure. Reasonable price, fits my head nice. Can use goggles with visor as well. I haven’t got to try too many different adventure helmets yet but it’s been great to me.

[@191941pilot]

@@_JoshJB_ Thanks, I have looking at the MX-9 to use with a visor.

[@adaminness8658]

Hey Josh, What navigation do you recommend?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@adaminness8658 I use a Garmin zumo XT. Works great

[@agro1942]

How many kms on the DRZ now Josh?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@agro1942 I haven’t actually looked in a little while. Close to 30,000 I would say.

[@cliff1551]

Josh do you use quad lock mate

[@_JoshJB_]

@@cliff1551 nah mate. I used to but it destroyed my iPhone camera. I don’t trust it anymore, even with the vibration dampener. I would use one on a street only bike but not an off-road bike.

[@brennoj79]

Haven't seen you in the T7 in a while? Still got it?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@brennoj79 Nah mate it’s been gone for a while now.

[@mamamiddleagedmotorcyclead6643]

Josh do you create the gpx with your Zumo?

[@_JoshJB_]

@@mamamiddleagedmotorcyclead6643 I make it on my Garmin explore app on my phone and then transfer it to my Garmin zumo 👍🏼

[@mamamiddleagedmotorcyclead6643]

Ok thanks!

[@mamamiddleagedmotorcyclead6643]

So you file is a planned file (and not necessarily the ridden file). I make my files at home for Nav purposes, but mostly end up riding a different track. I was wondering if there was a way to track what was ridden …..

[@_JoshJB_]

@@mamamiddleagedmotorcyclead6643 yea it’s a planned out route that I follow. Sometimes I might deviate a little and I just adjust the gpx file later once I’m home. But the zumo does have a track option where it could save what you rode. I just don’t use it much

[@danielpepper1731]

I think you should mention you're experienced rider because pushing people to ride like that is reason so many stack and get hurt. There's no way any new rider could or should ride like that. And very disappointing that so many don't point this out. So many avoidable injuries and damaged bikes because of videos like this. This isn't just riding to go camping etc it's over the top need to know how to ride and wanabe motocross. That's what it is and very dangerous for inexperienced rider

[@_JoshJB_]

@@danielpepper1731 I’m not your mother mate. Everyone can be their own judge of what they can and cannot ride. I’ve been adventure riding for 5 years now, but other than that my riding experience is limited. Just a regular guy who started having a crack.
