Tough Climbs, Notorious Tracks & JetBoiled Steaks | Motorcycle Camping KLR650

[@SkunkMonkey991]

WOW! I KNOW the camera didn't do justice to that terrain. KLR ate it up. Well done. Beautiful country, greetings from SW FLORIDA.

[@NotShookADV]

It was some tough terrain for sure, but yeah the KLR managed it well! Thanks for tuning in all the way from sunny Florida!

[@leroyjenkins4123]

Quality editing, music, etc. 👍

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. It takes a fair bit of effort for me to put them together so means a lot to hear that.

[@leroyjenkins4123]

@@NotShookADV absolutely. Some excerpt early on reminded me of the track from Tron. Good stuff. Cheers.

[@pfdavidz]

Your riding skills are amazing

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks a lot!

[@fernandizo]

that was pretty awesome!! great riding.. dumping it is a part of the game..

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it. A few dumps are definitely part of the game.

[@AusMoto]

Awesome effort mate, so close to the top! Loved how you found some of the luggage on the way back down hahaha 🤣

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers mate. Sadly I got a bit overwhelmed with no rear break, and fuel anxiety, talked my self out of it. Annoyingly got to dargo with heaps of fuel in the end! Good excuse to get back out there and try again though! Thanks for watching.

[@Wugawamp]

Hello- subscriber 819 here. Great riding and amazing determination! You are one gnarly and tough dude! Have to say some bits were sketchy, especially so close to the edge near the steep drop-offs. Those areas are beautiful but the terrain looks pretty difficult. Please consider having a riding partner in the future for these climbs. It would really suck to be injured and alone so far out there. Hope you at least carry an emergency locator device. Lecture over! Very cool vid and glad you made it back ok. Best wishes from Upstate NY.

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks for the support! You are right these sort of tracks would be better with a mate. I certainly always carry my satphone on all trips.

[@JabboRockets]

Oh man. You had that for sure! I reckon you would have made it with the remaining fuel. My KLR still has at least 5 litres remaining when the light comes on. I've camped at the spot too! Great content mate 👍

[@NotShookADV]

I’d never really run the tank too low before this so I had no idea. That’s crazy that there is 5 litres left after the light, I must have had near half a tank left up there! ah well, it gave me an excuse to do another trip up there. I was always confused at how little fuel it would take when I filled her, now I know! Thanks for watching.

[@JabboRockets]

@@NotShookADV yeah pretty sure they are about 23 litres but mine only ever took 17 to fill it

[@lowend5566]

That was relentless. Thanks.

[@NotShookADV]

It really was! Thanks for watching.

Following your channel,Keep bringing it on,So is that the old Bell Moto 3 type helmet.

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks for the support! Yeah I love the bell moto, classic helmet.

[@Dashy1988]

Ballsy effort mate! Taking the big girl up there, in the wet with no fuel. Keep it up! Was up that way on my tenere this past weekend. That loose, shale rock crap is the biggest killer I find. Hit it, lose momentum and down she goes. Keep the videos coming!

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers mate! Yeah the loose stuff is real tricky. The T7 would be great fun up there. Thanks for the support, it helps me stay hungry to keep putting up videos.

[@Steves_ADV]

Pushing the KLR where many people wouldn't, well done! Some amazing tracks there. Keen to explore them myself one day.

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers mate! It is a really great spot, one of the best areas in VIC for adventure bikes I reckon. You should definitely explore it if you get the chance. Thanks for watching.

[@losttheplotcolin]

10 out of 10 for effort mate, I thought for-sure you were going to make it.. Good reason to go back :-)

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers mate! Next time 100%. Thanks for watching.

[@mikebetts1934]

Amazing video! The tracks, the skills displayed, the stamina and the views! Tell us a bit about yourself. How'd you get so good on that mighty KLR? My hat's off to you!

[@NotShookADV]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m just a pretty regular guy from Melbourne, who grew up riding trail/enduro bikes in the bush, I didn’t own a bike for a lot of years until this KLR. Cheers for the support!

[@the_drone_co]

Awesome video! Just did the high country solo also. Was a bit hairy, Vic based also! Geelong let’s do a ride 😂

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers mate, thanks for watching. That's great that you are getting out there solo as well. I'm planning to tee up a Vic high-country group ride for the channel in the future, so stay tuned and I will put up a post in the community tab of the channel.

[@the_drone_co]

@@NotShookADV cheers man, look forward to it. Keep us posted. More peeps riding the better.

[@anotherguyonabike4726]

Nice vid mate sending the big klr👌

[@NotShookADV]

She is big! Cheers for watching.

[@FirstLightAdv]

Not only you went up billy goat on KLR650, it was wet as well!

[@NotShookADV]

Yeah it wasn't the best day for it in the end. Thanks for watching.

[@tonyrdr7207]

Wow mate respect I did get my 650 up there but it was some time ago when the track was in much better condition like the blue rag. The Billy is really cut up now and I could not even get down it properly on my 300rally let alone up last year. You make it look so easy. Great riding indeed you really know how to pick your lines Excellent video shows the track really well.

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah it is in a bad way, even compared to late last year when I went up there, it just gets worse and worse. It really punished me last time I tried it, so had to commit a bit more on this attempt. The bluerag is definitely a better track for these big bikes.

[@bazz6670]

Great job , looks tough going. I've always thought the brake hose hangs out a bit far on the klr.

[@NotShookADV]

It was pretty tough in the end. The brake hose design is strange, not sure why it hangs out like that. Thanks for watching.

[@crispinleslie]

Good go mate- great skills and a lot of grit. I just put a Dirt Racks rear crash bar on my '22, I wonder if that would protect the rear brake?

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks mate. I think some sort of rear protection will definitely help. For this particular rear break issue keep in mind I had large soft pannier bags, which in theory would have cushioned the fall, so the break hit must have been direct hit to the caliper, and most likely crash protection in this case wouldn't have done much. But always the more protection the better.

[@OzADVRider]

Wow, you certainly had a good crack at it. That rear brake caliper looks very exposed.

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers mate, I gave it a red hot go. I’m not too familiar with how that calliper usually sits, but I think the video makes it appear like it hangs out a lot more than it does. I have my mate who is a mechanic going over it for me tomorrow, looking forward to picking his brain and learning about the breaks a bit more. Thanks a lot for watching.

[@coobye]

Nice work mate. Have you done anything to the suspension or is it stock?.

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks mate. Na I haven’t, it’s completely stock, she bottoms out a lot on the rear but still gets the job done.

[@coobye]

@@NotShookADV In that case I'd have to give you an extra thumbs up for that effort mate. Good to see you went back for a second crack at it👍.

[@NotShookADV]

I had to redeem myself! Thanks for the support.

[@coobye]

@@NotShookADV Understand completely. We only got as far as the top from the other direction ( Pinacles). Looked down and said Yeah, Nah and piked 😂.

[@Willie_MN]

OK.... about 1:50 in that's NUTS!!! That Trucker needs his/Her $hit Adjusted!

[@NotShookADV]

Yep it was a scary moment, just lucky I was over as far as I was, otherwise he would have skittled me! He was the only vehicle I saw out there over 2 days, so he must have gotten complacent and thought no one was on the roads, terrible driving by him.
