Surviving 700km of the Simpson Desert on our T7 World Raids Ep 3

[@cmoreoz1]

Loved the episode.....We are the 2 couples that were happy to share our water - Liam and Jo in the Colorado and Martyn and I (Larissa) in the Landcruiser. So glad to see you made it out safely. We ended up staying on the Hay River Track (loved it). To make you feel better the Colorado aircon was not working properly from the start and our aircon hose blew that same day so we were all feeling the heat also that day. But loved the adventure. Now this has made me decide to get on with the editing of our video too.

[@georgeferguson9779]

Thanks for giving these guys some water! I’m glad to see your response and know all of you folks made it out safely.

[@MotologyFilms]

Thank you so much for the water and chat, you guys were awesome! I sometimes wonder if the good folk we meet ever find my channel ... so I have to ask, how did you? Is there a dirt bike rider among your friends? And yes, edit your journey - it's so good to look back in over time!

[@cmoreoz1]

@@MotologyFilms Liam's mate follow's you and when Liam told him about us sharing water with a couple of bike riders he thought it might be you, shared your youtube video from the episode before with us and we have been waiting to see your next youtube episode to see the Hay River Track episode and HERE WE ARE :-) I have to admit I was a little excited when we showed up on your episode (I am the one manning the water tank trying to get you to take more).......feel famous now LOL

[@MotologyFilms]

Well there you go. I recently bought a DMax and look forward to taking the kids (and maybe the mrs) on some epic desert adventures like you guys!

[@mjfalcon007]

This is so awesome to read! It adds so much weight to the story and how sharing something so “little” as some water can save someone’s day. It’s moments like these what makes this channel the best on YT ❤️

[@andrewpeter6128]

Damn….it never gets old to hear the ole “Bob and Marge” commentary

[@lhurst9550]

Yeah hits home, some times I'm in the bob and marge camp, others in the lone biker camp.

[@joefigl]

pls, can you explain an European why you call them Bob and Marge?

[@paulburke6419]

​@joefigl in Ireland we say John and Mary.... just typical and common names to describe the "average" Aussie or Paddy slightly older couple... not meant as a slight , or as an insult.. like a term of endearment towards your fellow citizens

[@silexdebris]

Except when I’m not on my bike I’m Bob. Own it i guess

[@dandersonjr]

Better than anything you'll see on TV. Motology Films.

[@clayfarnet970]

Rodney is a man of few words just getting it done. What an adventure.

[@kims2r]

Truly a life-hardened legend!

[@mariomotorcyclediaries]

Seeing Rodney struggling in the desert make you realize what a challenge you guys are measuring against to. Not to mention one of the best storytelling in this type of content! Proud to support this channel

[@MotologyFilms]

Thanks for the support mate, every members contribution is appreciated!

[@johnnyblue4799]

Love the "ABS Off" reminder written on the windshield! :)

[@jasondunn8313]

All the fuel in the world for your bike won’t get you anywhere without enough water for your body. A good reminder how the Outback of Australia should never be underestimated. Another great video Adam. Safe travels👍

[@roysteves]

Your narration is right up there with David Attenborough, but with an obviously different style. What a delight. So glad to be a subscriber.

[@Libroer]

That Bob and Marge analysis was a delight 😅

[@jimbob67]

You have to pinch yourself ever now and then to remind yourself you're alive when sitting on the sofa with a cuppa watching things like this. Can only guess at the heat and exhaustion. Awesome video ❤ 👏

[@vahidvahidnia1643]

Your sense of humor is one of a kind. Keep being awesome.

[@MotorbikeCoach]

Great reel, really shows how the Australian outback should not be underestimated, especially on big heavy bikes. The boys made it look easy but remember they are both fit, strong and very good riders. Proper adventure ✅

[@mojoriden]

These desert run videos are some of my favorites of all your videos. The feeling of remoteness, danger, and adventure are what I enjoy in my own rides. Just this year I was down to half a liter of piss warm water when I finally rolled into camp on an unexpectedly hot day. Makes one appreciate how good life is to just turn on the tap for cool, clean water and a soft bed.

[@MotologyFilms]

Sometimes we need to be whittled down to the bare minimum in situations to appreciate how easy every day life is.

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! The kindness of strangers never ceases to amaze me. Best!

[@dutchie7302]

It's just the Australian way

[@userer4579]

It's the way of backcountry travelers everywhere, at least those from civilized stock ... 😉 😄

[@AndrewWilmotAu]

Its good that you show how tough it is out there to prevent the inexperienced trying to do that ride. Good stuff!

[@GCTO239]

Bloody legends you are! Regards from Germany, mates!

[@garysankey4618]

Amazing, thrilling and bloody scary all at the same time. Rippa mate.

[@zoranm6432]

Wow! if Rodney came off in this sand what would us mere mortals do! Good on you boys

[@dalemawby8717]

Geez mate that must be a tough section if Rod had trouble! Loving this journey with you both Adam❤

[@MotoGuzziMoto]

And I imagine having Adam's bike tracks in front of him didn't help either, especially in the slow sections.

[@docholliday2364]

Good banta young fella epic journey . Rodney is solid gold just "gets it done".

[@GaryBurns-c7g]

I can appreciate justhow arduous that section of the adventure was. Great video.

[@reinhardfernberg7574]

Hallo Super tolle Aufnhamen Danke fūrs mitnehmen.👍 Grüße aus Deutschland

[@NickNorland]

You both are legends!!!! My god you guys ride at an intense pace! I always get nervous pushing it that hard in unknown territory. 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@manuel3310mv-rm7vd]

what can we comment? No comments, just the joy of the ride, the view, the nature and the challenge... The joy is of whom does it!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!

[@iancharlton5530]

Yes every vid you produce is top shelf absolutely awesome thank you 👌

[@PeterZiegler2310]

Battle of the Titans! What an Adventure, Adam! It´s always a pleasure to watch your high quality productions. In about 2 weeks I work my way down from Switzerland to the gates of Morocco to spend 2 weeks of riding Tenere 700s with 3 of my mates. Hope we find the same level of riding and joy! ✊🤠

[@joshuasarfati5520]

Lovin' the bob and Marge jokes. Been looking forward to this next chapter. It sure gets hard when the sand is hot. Looking forward to the next episode

[@Plparadise]

@@joshuasarfati5520 T7’s are no joke in the sand. Even with perfect tyre choice. These guys go hard

[@Braapncamp]

Just love these series Adam, last episode was awesome and just started to watch this episode. I know i will get quality time, chilling here in my van in a winter landscape. Perfect to catch up while we have few hours of light and have an offday from skiing. Enjoy the holidays! 💪🤠🔥✊🏻✊🏻

[@themccullochsworkshop2421]

The sand starts to get tougher later in the season by the looks on top of wrestling with the the temps. Bloody good effort.

[@cccollarncuffs]

That dirt so heavy in iron hardly makes any dust I noticed. Amazing landscape! Hello from AZ USA!

[@MotologyFilms]

It's all sand granules basically

[@cccollarncuffs]

@MotologyFilms I've been watching and learning from your sand riding. Making good progress! Thanks Adam!

[@oldgreenbus]

Ditto from AZ 2

[@silewis65]

Just getting it done 👌🏼the exhaust bark of the Tenere though 💥📣😎

[@youtuberAstar]

You two have seriously BIG balls to go out there !! Not for me. Very impressed with your abilities. Thanks for sharing.

[@peterscoles1063]

Love these outback missions Adam epic adventures and the real deal. Bob looked pretty happy with himself leaving Marg behind in the van. Probably the only bit a quiet he ever gets 😂😂

[@MotologyFilms]

Haha, he was totally in his element with his mate in tow

[@shaunscully1173]

I’ve been riding various bikes my whole life , but I’m in awe watching both of you and the level of skill you display. Absolutely awesome.👍

[@castrejo67]

we need more Bob´s and Marge´s in this world , I recon cheers Adam, was looking forward to this video, cant wait for the rest :)

[@darrenwalsh6965]

Another ripper episode from that Riemann lad and his mate Rodney. Loved it - well done! 😀

[@NY-xx7hu]

It’s like diving. Never loose sight of your buddy. Great video again.

[@Dazza-u4c]

“ loose “ ? I guess you mean lose.

[@aidanreilly5469]

Another ripper of an episode. The scale of adventuring in Australia is still hard for me to get my head around. Safe riding!

[@11BADV]

Awesome. It's good to know that even the great riders struggle from time to time.

[@MightyMooseMovies]

My heart is in my throat when i see you guys ride through those sandy tracks. I don't think I will ever do the Simpson, but your videography has made it seem like we have been there with you. Looking forward to the next Episode.

[@twowheelrodeo]

Incredible scenery, really great location for moto sport. Enjoyed the film obstacle challenge and survival element.

[@hpo9535]

Very inspiring to watch❤ Love the quality of your videos! Thank you for taking us along 🙏🏻

[@reinmansmith]

That first section on the Hay trail must have been cut by someone who’d a few to many ‘tinnies’ 😆 The whole of a desert and he couldn’t cut a straight track lol 😆…. Love the trust you and Rodney have in each other’s riding that allows you to ride so close without taking each other out….. sublime riding skills in tough terrain….. as ever a top notch piece of cinematic filming 👍

[@oldgreenbus]

Was thinkin same 😂

[@TourmeisterTWT]

That feeling... do I wait just a bit more or should I go ahead and turn around...? Always a great relief when your mate finally shows up and nothing serious is wrong!

[@BigDaveTALKS]

Absolutely remarkable scenery, riding and brotherly bonding. I love it and thank you.

[@ryanroux5429]

Damm fine ride Adam… You n Rodney seriously shift… These are hardcore days of riding… Those twisty two tracks and endless deep sand are incredibly demanding.. I can’t believe you run those Km’s and still document the experience to show with us.. Bloody great job, the share is really appreciated .. Congratulations to both of you… damm fine riding

[@PaulvanBuren-1492]

I Love that sound of the T7 , great adv trip guys

[@stevetheaxe]

Bloody hell mate. Thats some hard riding. Much respect to you both

[@MaxUtley]

This is amazing to watch. Brings back many memories - although that red sand and the heat drains the soul. I did this route - or at least across Simpson Desert in 1989 on an XT 500 ( no tent, military bivvie bag and Kendal mint cake) - I broke down and was very dehydrated but had recently done a SF selection course and was as fit as a butchers dog - pushed to the limit. A Bob character came to my rescue with water, sweet tea and a hot meal of fried luncheon meat - I really didn’t know what I was doing and was lucky. This year (actually a month or so before I met Adam at ABR in U.K.) I dropped my 1190 Adv R fully laden in Namib Desert and was stuck underneath with right foot pointing backwards - wriggled free in the soft sand and found I hurt my knee - now seriously thinking of those knee braces - although my AlpineStar Tech 7s and my armour saved me from being crushed -- In Nubian desert me and missus were going through 10 litres of water a day - you really need to watch the dehydration as it creeps up on you and can make you hallucinate or worse -- trouble is too much fuel and water weighs you down - Still I’d do it all again

[@oldgreenbus]

As fit as a butchers dog 😂

[@HartyBiker]

Man, that's absolutely wild! I feel like I need a breather after watching this one. Good job to you 2 warriors. Look at Rodney walking gingerly at the end there, too! Hard yakka

[@vladimirgonzales9221]

What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing. It is an inspiration to ride.

[@gliderklajdkl]

Thanks for another fantastic video of a great, great ride from the two of You... I envy You, Your great country and fantastic continent ! And now ... The long., long wait for the next episode and the next video from Mr. Riemann... Thanks again !

[@benmiddleton8266]

Epic lads, I was tired just watching the twists and turns in deep sand go on forever .... and in that heat - brutal but great to watch.

[@davecalneggia6285]

... True adventure riding that is ... Thanks Adam , always educational and inspiring 🙏💪🇦🇺

[@kennethvernonprivate]

Epic guys! Wow, that's a hell of a day! All the best from Canada....

[@williamhodson8729]

Epic Gentlemen, looking forward to the next episode !

[@aussiehistoryhunter3111]

It's gunna be funny when you call someone Bob and his name is Bob. Getting that water made your day.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

"This is testing everything, Rodney, also you and me". Fantastic! Another epic adventure. Wish I could ride half as well as you. And have your courage and competence for crossing the Simpson desert. Love your films and undramatic get-it-done stance. You are an "influencer", Adam, but don't act as one. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg

[@johnsheehy69]

would love to ride outback one day...... thanks for sharing this experience!

[@paul.vanhout57]

Ultimate challenge of man and machine. Remarkable perseverance and talent.

[@phrytsiuk]

Amazing episode. It’s unbelievable how you cover such large distances through sand. Very inspiring!

[@DavidGibson-se1ev]

Great episode Adam thanks for the journey across the Simpson That looked tough not that you guys showed it and at 40deg Always lessons to learn thanks for sharing Rod man of few words but gets on with it what a champion Looking forward to the next episode Hope you had some good holidays with the family Thanks Dave

[@channehemiah1501]

always makes my day when I see Riemann post a video

[@habibnetanukefuel795]

Top film, puts you out there.when your out there you feel the land flowing up through you, It is an awesome feeling being in the outback. Good stuff Gents.

[@edwinmunyao2985]

Watching you made my fear of riding my motorcycle fade and found that motorcycle riding is a stress reliever and it's so addictive

[@Mark2U]

Great man, it's also wonderful to hear the Tenere roar like that :) Top

[@waffey2008]

Amazing episode, hats of too you and Rodney

[@eugenespreutels8305]

You guys are just animals! Hustling those loaded down adventure bikes all day through that sand and heat must of taken an immense amount of energy and strength. Glad you guys were able to make it out of there in one piece. Cheers!

[@shaneolivier1650]

Absolutely awesome, priceless,one life,live it 👌

[@excelpoint]

Awesome vids mate. Love watching them. The Motonomad films were what got me keen on the Adventure riding stuff.

[@MotologyFilms]

Hey thanks heaps for the support mate, stoked you've been inspired by Motonomad!

[@hanliemurphy7372]

Bob and Marge Germans: Dolfie and Eva French: Jacques and Edith South Africa: Johan & Petronella We encountered so many in our recent trip through Kruger National Park and had a good chuckle about Bob and Marge every time

[@xau]

I want a shirt with: "just getting it done" on the back and motology icon and "absolute legend" on the front... thank you adam... we feel and live the freedom by osmosis.

[@HartyBiker]

I'd wear that shirt for sure

[@Tim9974]

What a masterpiece. That was incredible to watch. It must be so tiring riding through deep sand like that. The scenery is truly spectacular and you and Rodney are both incredible riders. I can't wait for the next episode. By the way I could listen to that Tenere exhaust the whole day. It's gorgeous.

[@MotologyFilms]

How good is the Titanium Rally exhaust. I thought it was perfection when I fitted it on at home, but the real magical tune comes when it's loaded up and growling through the sand.

[@loup207]

Thank you as always for taking us with you.

[@kmeconst]

I just got back from a 15 day adventure on my T7 I had a couple of spills myself, watching your videos and this series inspires me! Now I need to change the oil and plan for the next one. Can’t wait for your next video 👍

[@hamz11c]

What an episode!

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Superb video 📹 guys, great filming Adam as ever. That terrain looks harsh and unforgiving...but beautiful at the same time. Really shows how brilliant the T7's are, with such great reliability...essential in the desert!! Great stuff, Cheers Steve 💚

[@SJW82]

I Tip my cap to both of you, It's actually exhausting just watching it! Hell knows what it was like to ride that never ending road, with that extreme heat!!!

[@casey3057]

You boys are absolutely mad… and I love it. Rodney looked like he was pretty damn glad to be done with that section, and moving like the few spills he had along the way were felt. Stoked y’all got it done and, safely. Ready for the next part. 🤘

[@oscarborlase2086]

Did the Hay sept 23 on T7. Was so much harder than expected. Was a relief to get on QAA line haha. Had the same issue with water . You guys smashed it !! Great filming as allways

[@glennaltschwager5234]

Fkn Epic. That hay river track is brutal. It makes the French line look like a walk in the park. Cheers for sharing, Guys 🍻🍻

[@MotologyFilms]

I'm yet to do the french line. I'll save that for a future adventure

[@michaelwallace8791]

another inspiring episode. I don't know if I could do that much sand. I hope to test myself someday. But, today I just don't know. You guys are beast for pushing through 700 of that kind of terrain. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@MotologyFilms]

It's tough, but I'm guessing you wouldn't just give up and cry for mum ... you'd be surprised what you can do when you have to do it. Just be prepared.

[@darrengoldsbrough1484]

Thank you for posting, I don't think I've missed a single episode of yours, your video's are awesome.

Haha questioning what you where doing there, exactly the same thoughts were going through my brothers and I's minds when we recently crossed, also in September of this year! 🥵 Great video mate, loving the series!

[@camiloverland]

you guys made it look easy! Thanks for such amazing episode.

[@MarkN67]

Watching this and hearing how such a great rider as Rodney was having a bad day in the dunes, makes you realise how tricky these tracks would be to an average rider.

[@jasonking9401]

All 4 of you are fricken BATTLERS, man. Bikes and blokes... taking on the dunes and heat.. doin' it. 👊

[@MotologyFilms]

Final test for the World Raid. Faultless in the hardest conditions.

[@silexdebris]

I’d still be out there. Thanks Adam for another great video. Reminded me of the desert around Moab, Utah

[@gonegliding2966]

If old mate Rodney can drop a bike at low speed like that, I dont feel so bad. Hahahahaha nothing like giving old mate Toby a spray, he's a legend!

[@Rufus-OG]

That’s some mighty impressive riding and some mighty impressive coverage of it 👌🏻

[@kipper2942]

Awesome again love watching your shows, man the sound of that motor and Acro is amazing music to my ears. Ya let’s take it easy, just cruise 😂😂😂. Ya right I don’t think you know what that means. Your like super man on a motorcycle 😊

[@beborodner930]

Those Tenere's sound so damn good!! What a run this episode was. Wondering if Rodney is still having a good time! He looked a little down at the end there. Or that's just the expression everyone has when it's 104F amd you've battled sand all day!! You both are goddam warriors!! 🫡

[@MotologyFilms]

Rodney started the trip with the flu so was a little fatigued before we began

[@rodneystewart4312]

Thanks Grizz for the new video , love the new bike , drone shots . The Northwest Passage seems like a fantastic route .Great job .

If I wasn't convinced about getting myself a T7 World Raid before, I certainly am now. Keep inspiring!

It’s hard to imagine those bikes are well over 220kg loaded the way those boys throw them around. What a great endorsement for Yamaha having Adam as your test pilot !!!
