Teaching The Art of Adventure

A seasoned Enduro rider teaches a young motocross rider the ways of Adventure, loading some basic camping gear onto their bikes and heading into the unknown.
Join Adam Riemann and Carson Bascombe as they take on the perils of Western Australia's South Coast. Impossible river crossings, endless sand tracks, torrential rain and a menagerie of erratic wildlife are just some of the challenges they face on their Yamaha Tenere 700 Adventure bikes.

So many awesome comments, such connection with the ride and video. I'll continue to have a subtle dig at the 'carpark ADV' bikes , if only to promote the idea of giving your bike a chance to show what it's capable of in the offroad world. And yeah, Carson is a racer and has never been scared to hold it on in sketchy terrain. He has all the makings of a Dakar rider. Thanks again everyone...

[@samhutchins5890]

im yet another viewer that became a fan of the channel when the first warhorse video came out and instantly became obsessed. i adventure in a little different way camping and kayaking and such but i will soon be purchasing an adventure bike as i’ve always had a passion for dirtbikes. thanks for the epic content and the brilliant views i see through them

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

While I may not have the talent, or audience that you do Adam, I too take a pop at the "carpark ADV" riders by taking my GS off road in search of adventure.

[@dunes2dust216]

Adam in the moment, living life large…. Brilliant story and cinema. Thanks mate.

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

Pure joy.... : ) My favorite day riding in my whole life was my first day riding off road on a YZ125. This video reminds me of how special that day was and how each day, each moment are gifts not to be passed by.

Absolutely sick ride and adventure! 👀 This is top quality on so many levels. Yamaha should pay you a bag of money for this video! Anyway, I don't think I would buy a used bike from you 😆

[@MeliusEsseQuamVideri]

“Age makes it easier to push your limits because they come earlier”… Such a narrative wisdom! Adam you are Great!

One of the best videos I have seen on dirt bike riding in ages. Amazing chemistry between the man and the machine.

[@henrygerwien186]

One of many riders on the channel with strong words and no unnessacary bulk around. Concentrated on the important spots, spoken well, concrete AND full of wisdom!

[@billyarsenault1970]

Fine- I’m gonna take your word for it and watch. You better not be wasting my time. 😅 Wow yeah this is refreshingly a bit different- Thx for the heads-up shiv.

In 1986 my buddy and I took off on what today would be called an adventure motorcycle ride. I had a 1981 Honda XL500, and he had a brand new XL600. We were both "hardcore" trout fishermen who preferred to do our trout fishing where others did not venture. We would ride our bikes miles back into Forest Service roads, down deep and steep river canyons, ford streams, washouts and even take game trails to reach our secluded fishing holes. Mostly we fished the Feather River, Yuba River, Truckee River, Mad River, McCloud River, Eel River, Trinity River and Shasta Rivers located in Northern CA. One day we decided to do what then would be considered crazy. We decided to do a fishing adventure that would take us 3,300 miles over 15 days from my home on the border of Plumas National Forest to the Canadian border and back, staying off road as much as possible and camping out of what we could pack on our enduro bikes. Many items we split between us. For example I packed the frying pan and coffee pot and box of two cooking utensils and seasonings, while he packed a very small cooler to hold a six pack of beer, a stick of butter, an onion and a few potatoes. We each packed a two man tent, sleeping bag, our own plate, knife, fork and spoon, as well as two changes of clothes, a towel and small shaving kit. And of course a fishing pole and small tackle box. A couple of weeks prior we spent a few hours, and a few beers studying Delormes Topo Map books of Northern CA, Oregon and Washington. We picked a variety of routes that ran for miles along rivers and large streams with the goal of tying our ride to fishing as much as possible. We stayed as high in the Sierras and then the Cascades as we could on the way up. We couldn't fit the big Delorme topo books in out packs, so we switched to folded paper state maps and tried our best to recall what we had seen in the books that day with beers. We made a pledge that even though our goal was to get to Canada. We didn't even care if we made it out of California, as our main goal was good fishing. In 1986 cell phones, GPS, and the internet were only in science fiction books. We never knew where we were going to camp until each day one of us would say, "Let's camp here." We completely altered our course on the way back when we ran into another fisherman who had just been fishing for sea-run cut throat trout on the coast in Northern Oregon. We headed west and followed the coast, then chasing up rivers that emptied into the ocean. Over the 15 days we stopped counting when we each reached 150 trout each. Every dinner we had potatoes, trout, and beer. Every breakfast we had potatoes, trout and any beer still remaining in the cooler. Lunch was always in a small town where we stocked up on gas, potatoes, butter and beer, usually a sub sandwich if it was warm or a bowel of chili if it was cold and wet. I'm 62 now, and still claim those 15 days as 15 of the best days of my life. It was beyond magical. We met so many cool people, got invited to full moon beach parties, barbecues, other's campsites. We met quite a few cute girls (including a couple who wanted to join us 8-). I'm fortunate enough to have retired a little early. This year I bought a new Norden 901 Expedition. I also bought a custom built off road trailer capable of carrying my Norden. I currently live in WA right on the US/CA border. I own a sawmill with stacks of maple, oak, elm, fir, pine and cedar lumber. The trailer I ordered gutted inside and will be doing the buildout myself. In a couple of years, I'm going to start selling my properties in CA and WA and will be heading out on what I hope to be an endless adventure that spans from Alaska to the tip of Argentina. Wish me luck! And if we run into each other, let's have a beer!

[@scottloftin1730]

Thats awesome!!! Do it again.

[@kollosytravel5796]

Well, another calm, enjoyable video of two exceptionally skilled motocyclists. I really enjoyed the tension between the young, bloke flying over sand like a god and the older, wiser and more experienced guy who doesnt even consider a drowned bike to be a problem, because he has faced so much on two wheels. ✌

Thought you should know I took my eldest son (15 yrs old) on our first ADV ride together in northern Michigan while we camp out. A TW 200 for him and a KLR 650 for me. Odd ball bikes that aren’t the focus of your channel - but your channel has helped inspire and motivate us to get this far - and boy has it been great! Just fantastic.

[@clukait]

Everything said!👍

[@HRRRRRDRRRRR]

Had to stop watching, my T7 was getting jealous.

[@HoagesMoto]

Man Carson's on board footage on the return sand leg, very enoyable to watch a guy my age rip an ADV bike with that kind of skill - not that there was ever any doubt, but damn that guy can ride.

[@DirtZen]

I have to say this is one of my favorite videos you've made. How incredible it is to pass on your passion to Carson. You couldn't have picked a better wingman into the unknown. He's humble, quiet, great attitude and wow can he ride! What a beast! Thank you for sharing this incredible journey with us and igniting the passion of adventure in so many of us. Cheers! ✌

What a set of rippers you 2 are. The skill to ride these terrains, the stream crossings, the water, and the forest and beach, man that is cool. Awesome production as well, it feels like there's a camera guy following you all around who rips more than you all cuz he's got a camera on.

To me this is what adventure bike riding is really about. Not being the urban cowboy. Finding new terrain away from the stresses of life. Doesn't matter your age, this is living!

Wow, Adam... I'm in love with your content! I've been wanting to get into adventure riding, but I'm 42, with very little experience in riding dirt, and I don't really know anyone that does it. But your videos are truly inspirational, and make me want to do it even more! I know that I will eventually get out there.

For the time being, I'll just keep getting inspired with Adam's videos.

Adam I am blown away by this adventure. I can't believe the skills you to possess to be able to handle these machines under these conditions. I feel like I'm doing good learning adventure riding here in America in New England with all the rocks and such. I'm a baby in the woods compared to what you guys are doing. If you had a 2-hour video adventure I would watch the whole thing probably twice thanks a lot for bringing us along on your adventure you guys kick ass

[@stefanpullitzky5853]

I was a Ténéré 600 freak back in the 80s until middle 90s, and haven't driven one since. But you inspired me with this, and a few other videos before, to buy the T7 now. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and thoughts about this motorcycle. I really enjoy your videos.

[@maazinahamed2245]

I admire your videography skill and the way you speak to convey what an awesome activity adventure riding is if it is done correctly. Your videos have inspired me to return to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and start riding in the dense forests there after I was forced to sell my bike and leave the country. Your films have made me understand how much more rewarding it is to spend time out in nature on an adventure bike than it is to live in a materialistic city like Dubai 🇦🇪 and run after money. Appreciate the time and effort you put into producing this masterpiece.
