Another great post, love the socks Tina very bright and colourful.thanks for sharing.

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks Mark! They're high vis socks for safety on the road 😂

[@mugger2204]

Another great video and yes very colourful socks great views ❤ and need to practice putting up the stand 😅

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks mum. Yep definitely need to work on that haha

[@Chris_Z.]

Great area to travel in. Tip when lifting on centre stand. Try using the pillion peg to lift with.

[@TinaandJason]

Thank you, I’ll give that ago next time and yes it’s an amazing area to ride through 😊

[@3goldfinger]

Another stunning drone video. Top video again.

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks Michael!

Just tuned into your vids and I’m loving them. I’ve traveled a lot of the country on motorcycle and it gives me a thrill to see you doing the same. The Darling river run (nsw) and outback S.A are my favourite places too ride. Al

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks Allan, glad to have you along for the ride. Outback SA is beautiful and we are yet to do the Darling river run, it's on the list though!

[@jeffmalim]

I hope I can do this kind of long ride before I leave this world. I really do love adventures like this.

[@TinaandJason]

We hope you do too! Thanks for watching Jeff! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year :-)

Great video again guys. I carry a small 20mm thick block of wood in my Tenere pannier and roll the back wheel onto that before trying to lift the bike onto the centre stand. That or just roll it onto a rock or pile of sand. By the way, I had a Goldwing GL1800 and that weighed 900lbs/400kg, but the centre stand geometry made it easy to put it on the main stand.

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks! Someone else on here also mentioned the block of wood trick so I'm definitely going to give it a try. 400kg! we thought our bikes were heavy, sounds like the Goldwing has a better designed centre stand lol

[@dynamadnessadventures205]

Great video guys. Yes the petrol prices are ridiculous. On our last trip I filled my bike and Amanda’s bike $78 bloody rip off. Ride safe

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks mate. So ridiculous. We thought it was bad back then, little did we know! $78 bucks - unbelievable!

[@Peter760]

Another great vid guys. Every bike is a little different for getting on the centre stand, some good tips below, but my personal experience is get rid of the boxes first even 20kg can make a big difference. Looking forward to your next episode bc I just love the Flinders Ranges.

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks Peter - it only takes a couple of minutes to take them off so that's what I'll be doing in the future for sure cheers! Awesome we'll see you in the next one then :-)

[@lyndonevans8033]

I had awful trouble with my triumph putting on stand a few years back until I rolled bike back wheel onto a inch high bit of wood, made it so much easier to put on stand, Hope this can help you 😊

[@TinaandJason]

That actually sounds like it would help, thanks for the tip :-)

[@paulharrison3906]

I saw a post on adventure bike site about putting bike on centre stand, put on side and put a rock in front of front wheel,to stop it rolling forward, lay bike over on sidestand and lower center stand. I'll see if I can find the link

[@davidcauchi2837]

Hello, so good to see you both on the road and heading North; Quorn, Hawker, places I have been to; Safe Travels and it was fun seeing me again on your video.... David....Adelaide/Kilburn....Tiger 900GT & Scrambler

[@TinaandJason]

Hey David! Those are beautiful places you've got there North of Adelaide, the Flinders were one of the highlights of the trip. Cheers mate take care 😊

[@davidcauchi2837]

Yes they are and I go there a lot each year...@@TinaandJason

[@philmenzies2477]

I like your taste in backing music

[@TinaandJason]

Thanks Phil!

[@budget-adventure]

The adventure continues. Great looking country. How much weight do you have on those bikes? Are they at thier max?

[@TinaandJason]

It sure is! With the panniers, top box and duffle bag maybe an extra 50 - 60kgs depending on how much food and water we are carrying. Then we have the jerry cans which carry an extra 12 liters on Franco and 6 liters on Arnie. Apparently the limit that its designed for is 365kg including rider and bike, so we're definitely close.

[@budget-adventure]

@@TinaandJason well after all these Kms it’s a good sign the suspension is still doing what it’s meant to. Loving the adventure guys you guys are loving the dream

[@paulharrison3906]
