Wishing you a quick recovery Keith. Happens to us all and often when you least expect it🙃🙄

[@wv4life375]

Thanks for sharing the downside of riding. We must always remain cognizant of the dangers to a fun sport. Good reminder to check your safety equipment (first aid kit, coms, beacon).

[@krusty9407]

Hey there, it's part of the game. If you're not falling, you're not learning. You've got the right attitude and a great ride.

[@bigg2768]

Love my EXC-F 500! Have noticed over the years though of crashing on dirt bikes that now it feels like i ‘crunch’ when I hit the ground. Seems like it used to feel like more of a ‘bounce’. 54 yo now. Glad ur not too badly injured.

[@keithjob]

Yeah crunch is a good word to describe it 😟

[@anthonyfox5337]

Consider yourself lucky Keith , I had harder but similar get off on my KTM300exc .... 2 broken ribs , punctured lung , fractured scapular and 2 spinal fractures ( now I`ve got 5 fused vertebrae in my mid thoracic and 2 fused vertebrae in my neck and more screws and rods than a Bunnings hardware outlet. Airlifted to the Alfred Hospital and spent a week in critical care .....Back on the bike in 3 months but it took about 6 months to get my speed back.

[@drummernads]

Gidday Keith, I can certainly relate, particularly when it comes to riding out with an injury. Over the years, I have upgraded my protective gear which has certainly helped with limiting the impact of some of my mishaps. It's great to see that your helmet served it's purpose (albeit with the expence of replacing it), but I'm Interested to know what you were wearing in the way of body armour and whether what you were (or weren't) wearing contributed to your injury. That is, did you hurt your shoulder because you don't think the shoulder pads were up to spec, or were you wearing top of the line gear but the impact was still sufficient to cause injury? Keep up the great work with your videos and I wish you a speedy recovery.

[@TwistedSCREWTVG]

Glad you are OK. Love your videos.

[@Tassiedave]

Thanks for sharing Keith. Having that communication is so important. I ride alone a lot and carry a garmin handheld gpsmap68 for out of service areas. Plastics can be replaced mate.

[@keithjob]

And they have been 😎

[@robsadv2012]

All the best for a swift recovery Keith. Thanks for sharing

[@blackers10]

Glad it wasn’t too much of a buster for you mate! Hope it heals up nice and fast and you are back out in no time. In other news, i just purchased a 500 and have been digging through all the resources for what things to get to set it up nice.

[@Paul_R_Canada]

Glad you're safe and the bruise is a nice reminder it happens to the best of us, get well Keith..

[@brendenvosper7772]

Humility is to be commended. Thanks for sharing and get well soon.

[@MotoWorld777]

Bummer mate! Gravity just comes up and bites us now and then! Lord heal you up quickly!

[@Auskiter]

Mate, bugger about the crash, but glad to hear it is nothing too serious!!!! Would love to join you when you have round two!!! Have loved your channel, so much so that I finally bit the bullet and brought a FE501!!! Love my DR650, but in my view, light is right… Live in Stratford north of Sale, if you are ever coming through let me know. Would love to catch up. Get well soon. Cheers Scott

[@keithjob]

Thanks Scott. I'll keep you in mind.

[@robsonenduro3316]

going down is part of the game, no pain no gain. It's good to practice some crashing techniques.

[@davidbadham3712]

It happens to us all Keith. I had a good one with my 1290 and did I blow, picking it up, solo! Loving the vids from Oz, get well soon mate👍

[@miro_s]

Oh no! Shoulders! Lucky it’s just a bruise. I dislocated mine 18mths ago an a silly fall, still struggling with broken ligaments. 😢

[@nu77byte49]

Quick recover, you will be back out in no time 😊

[@MrEtnorb]

Unfortunately falls like these are part of the life of a dirt rider. Had a similar off in mid 2020, wallaby came from the right, took out my front wheel and down I went onto my right shoulder. Fractured humerus but the worst injury was the 6 broken bones in my left hand, which I believe was caused by my hand whacking the bark buster as I was wrenched off the bike. Like you, I rode out but didn’t front at the hospital for 48 hrs. And like you, my helmet had large gouges on the right side and was scrapped. You will be right. The protective gear we wear makes a huge difference.

[@gatoarispe]

Recuperate pronto , que bueno que no fue nada grave .

[@Ed00032]

Chin up mate, don’t be too hard on yourself, we all do it. Some have the balls to show others, some of us don’t. Love the channel, get back on it soon.

[@gianlucajandelli6387]

Get well soon. Best.

[@jimdiamond8246]

I feel your pain as I watch this vid Keith .I have the enduro version of the RMZ 450 and have done the same thing .the older you get the more it can knock you around when you hit the deck .at least you were not seriously hurt .when I ride now I have way more safe gear than I think I need but at least I'm trying to minimise any issues that may arise.and yes concentration needs to be 100 percent at all times .

[@bigals.ktms.9937]

Thars just a standard come off , if u ride dirt bikes long enough it's the normal.

[@MrCrs911]

Wishing you a quick recovery.

[@dougderby9454]

I have an older fox chest protector that has ample shoulder protection. Rarely ride without it.

[@Zobby447]

All good keith everyone has an off from time to time as long as your ok mate

[@volvogt21]

OUCH!!!! We don't bounce like we used to do we mate. After a couple of falls in the last couple of years the last being a broken tib/fib I worked out that my skills aren't what they used to be. As you get older your reactions slow greatly. I've tried to compensate by only doing the tracks on my smaller adventure bikes and only when unladen. I don't skimp on my gear anymore either. Getting old sucks but three cheers to all of us who are too pig headed to give up!!!!!!

[@frankenpixel]

Ouch! Do you have absorbing pads/armour underneath that jacket? I have like a mesh one with energy absorbing pads on chest/back/shoulders/elbows. We are not getting any younger haha. Hope you have quick recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@keithjob]

I wear some body armour thing, with shoulder, elbow, chest and back protection.

[@andrewgreen1181]

I road the same tracks from Binns road September last year on my dr, I would have preferred to have be on my sherco 500 riding up. Would have been awesome

[@julianhill7223]

Thanks for the post, hop your recovering well, you have inspired me to build a 500, very helpful tips, im sure ill crash too

[@keithjob]

Thanks Julian. I'm glad my videos are helpful!

[@DavidDouglas-jn1cd]

Hi Keith, speaking of injuries do you have a view about knee braces? thanks!

[@MrHumpo75]

Rest up bud

[@davidphillips4014]

Nice to see others crash as well

[@dewimtbmoto]

Did you get back there. One of my favourite places. Mate lives in Rawson so we day trip from there occasionally.

[@keithjob]

Not yet. Busy with other life stuff...

[@dewimtbmoto]

Well if you're keen I head out there reasonably often. Mostly on a 701 but just bought a 501 before xmas. Grew up riding and camping around Aberfeldi /Walhalla

[@jimdiamond8246]

Hi Keith,just a short question .did they the aftermarket fuel tank companies not have a tank for your 500 and is that why you chose the fuel bags hung over the front of your bike for the trip to the desert.

[@keithjob]

17L max tank for my model. Pre -16 you can get a 20L tank. But I needed 50L so bladders are the only solution

[@imds123]

Keith, what tank bag or bags you using? I’m in the market for one to use on my 450.

[@keithjob]

Enduristan Sandstorm 4X. A mate uses one from Nelson Rigg which looks good too. Small.

[@imds123]

@@keithjob Yes I just installed my Nelson Rigg adventure trails end light bag.. It will work and hold my tool bag etc.. good to finally take some weight off my back.

[@malcolmb3744]

How are you recording your intercom conversations to your video?

[@keithjob]

My setup is in this vid : How to record helmet audio YOU CAN USE AN APP kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH69pJmHn8Z0psU

[@malcolmb3744]

@@keithjob thank you

[@graemesydney38]

From what I can see, the front wheel got caught in the rut and tucked. Saving required body to rebalance the bike, some handlebar action to stop the fall and steer out of the rut - something you have probably done like 100,00 times before. Basic cause? concentrating more on commentary than riding. 🥴 The joys of vlogging 🙄

[@dominic9279]

All part of the fun Keith
