Enjoying this. It's great to watch this without rediculous music.

[@DanielSmith-vp5vn]

Lucky to get low levels. Great riding.

Great vid mate

Far out some of those tracks, ruts and holes 👍 Great riding btw.

[@distilledfreedom1840]

Holy moly, you guys have the best land for riding! It's a wee bit fair here in Utah, but there's something mysterious about that semi arid/tropical enviorns down there. Not to mention the fauna lurking deep in the bush. So jealous.

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Yeah mate we have a great country for riding. Every type of terrain you could want. Far apart but we have it. 👍

[@volvogt21]

Don't you love how we are all on the pegs for river crossings early in a ride then we end up boots in the water sitting down later on......

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Haha every time mate. It’s the easiest way to cross.

[@volvogt21]

@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer a couple of mates I made a pact when we started rinding around Oz. No standing unless the river base was perfect. No point falling off and drowning your bike and gear and costing an hour or two for no reason. Another mate joined us and stood for the first crossing and drowned his bike etc...... I get you mightn't do it in the high country in winter but FNQ ... it's actually nice to have the evaporative cooling effect.

[@gc1862de]

gr8 effort guys

[@BillyBoblovesthedirt]

I’ve been following you both on and off for a couple of years now. This ride and the videos are top notch . It’s great to get 2 perspectives. I watch a couple of Pommy travellers who have been teaming up in their travels and although they both do awesome content on their own, getting the other perspective really makes it interesting. That’s Bald and Bankrupt and Back Packer Ben if anyone actually reads this and is looking for quality KZbin content. Bald and Bankrupt is legendary. Anyway you fellas are a good team, no fuss and no BS. 👍🇦🇺💪

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Thanks for tuning in mate. We appreciate it. I’ll suss that channel out for sure 🤙

[@DraughtHorseMan]

Nice work

[@AusMoto]

Nice riding boys, OTT is definitely on the bucket list for me!

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Absolutely, you’ll get there mate. Hit me up when your doing it and I’ll hook you up with a super cheap transport company. Based in Melbourne to.

[@katojimmybling]

It,s amazing how quick things change the creek you crossed before camping was about 2 foot deeper than when we crossed only 2 week’s difference i walked my bike across

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Yeah for sure. We thought we were early and would have high levels. Instead we had perfect levels for easy crossings. I guess it’s different every week there.

[@robdotcom71]

Epic trip so far Lance.... you guys went at the right time with the water being so low...

[@AdvHQ]

Great vid mate - bugger about the blue bag, but looks like you sorted it on the fly. Some great crossings, and Fruit Bat Falls - like you said, I need to see it in person.

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Mate all apart of the ride. We don’t get it right every time that’s for sure. I was just to excited to pay attention. Absolutely mate, in person for a first timer is unreal.

[@MegaRich7]

Thanks

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Thanks so much for the support. That’s my first super thanks. I’m sitting in my kitchen showing my wife and we are both blown away about the generosity. 👍

[@MegaRich7]

No worries. Just interested to know if you get all of the money?

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

@@MegaRich7 good question. It’s all new to me but am of the understanding that I do. 👍

[@mototrailz]

👌

[@TwoWheelerSparky]

Have you changed your stock gearing? I own a CRF300 which has the handy 6th cruising gear. But I'm thinking about swapping for a DRZ as they have a bit more fun acceleration off road

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Yeah they are a great bike mate. I’m always playing around with sprockets. This trip I had a 15-44. It went ok.

[@MotoPassport]

bout time you change your channel name from Apprentice to Master 😎👊

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Hahaha mate I get that a lot. Problem is you only see the highlights. I’m always stuffing up and learning.

[@budget-adventure]

Oh man nothing worse then something like that happening at the start of the track. Are you planning on riding home or just back to cairns and flying home?

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Mate I’ve been home for three weeks with plenty more issues to come in the series. But yeah I kept riding towards NSW until I broke down.

[@budget-adventure]

@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer oh no

[@blakecrosby5123]

Do people ride many atv's there.

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Not that I know of mate. Pretty strict in Australia with those. It would need to be fully registered and so on.

[@wa7215]

Great video Lance, bummer about your bag gettin chewed up on day 4. Noticed that both you and Josh were having some stalling problems once you dropped into some deeper water, which makes me ask, have you both yet done the mod to re-route your Carby’s two vent tubes, upwards, from their normal positions where they usually exit below and behind the bottom of the bike’s engine sump, up to the top, and front of the fuel tank, just behind the steering column, to keep them free of water, unless, you are unfortunate enough to completely submerge, the bike, of course. 😉

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Yeah mate we both did that years ago. My bike use to conk out in 2cm of water. Lol. Just a stubborn bike I think. If I rev it it’s fine, I also wonder if it’s the rapid cooling of the engine when submerged in the deeper stuff. Mind you there were plenty of crossings with zero issues. 🤔

[@EddyOtway]

Your breather tubes from the carby are probably in the water that’s why she keeps stalling, gotta put them up high in the air box or something.

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Nah man they are way up there. That use to be a problem. Both bikes did it. Maybe I’m just weak on the throttle. Lol

[@REN-zh2wd]

How many ks can you get out of a full tank of fuel on the Highway

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Mate 400km for 20l is the general guide.

[@REN-zh2wd]

@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer really I thought it wood be more

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

@@REN-zh2wd it could. Depends on the weight and revs as well. Mine is always overloaded.
