Triumph Tiger 900 in the Victorian High Country - Part 1

[@MarkAlexanderBuchanan]

It was a pleasure to join you on your exciting adventure. I did find it confusing though with the random animation of your maps without any indicators as to where you were/were going.

[@australianadv]

Good to know, thanks for the feedback. I’ll do better next time!

[@caseyworthington7092]

Nice post and a warm hello from my Tiger 900 RP here on Vancouver Island! Very different geography, same good fun!

[@australianadv]

Thank you, much appreciated! Vancouver Island is a lovely part of the world, I'm guessing there is some good riding there.

[@mountainconstructions]

Just stumbled upon your channel. Very Proffesional with great narration and the best use of Google Earth I've seen. Looking forward to riding along and watching this channel grow

[@australianadv]

Thank you! I'll try to keep improving.

[@martymayhem2286]

I love your films mate. You take us on your journey with you. It's great how you feature the wild life as well as the bike and route. Excellent😎.

[@australianadv]

Thank you!

[@theenduropest]

Great watch 🤟 quite the adventure

[@australianadv]

Thanks

[@brucekendall52]

Love the countryside although very similar to S Africa.Thanks.

[@australianadv]

Thanks mate, I’ve heard the countryside is similar. Have to check it one day

[@Kahlimero68]

Great Video 👍🏻👍🏻 greetings from Germany.

[@australianadv]

Cheers Kurt, thanks for watching!

[@peterharvey3451]

Great video editing. I have done the same ride to McKillops bridge twice and that drop down around those blind bends still has me nervous.

[@australianadv]

I'm glad you mentioned that, it always looks easier on the GoPro but in person those dropoffs really focus the mind!

[@richardgiles2484]

Wow, what an amazing trip and video 👏 I have a 800xca at the moment and picking up a new 900 rally pro next week 😂

[@australianadv]

Hope you enjoy the new bike

[@666dualsport]

brumbys do bugger all damage compared to a bushfire, great video

[@australianadv]

Ever since The man from snowy River, I’ve got a soft spot for them, beautiful animals

[@metalTriumph]

I did Canberra-Jindabyne-Omeo-Dargo about 3 weeks ago on my Tiger 900! it was sensational riding.

[@australianadv]

That's crazy, there are a lot of us out there. It's such a playground for ADV down there, can't wait to do it again, plenty more to see.

[@LazyJack2003]

Great video. Very nice bike, too, and the perfect countryside to ride it! I ride the Tiger 800 and am looking at the 900RP as my next bike. If we only had as much off-tarmac here in my part of Europe, too

[@australianadv]

Definitely recommend the 900 as a touring bike on road as well. Who knows, you might make it down to Morocco sometime!

[@LazyJack2003]

@@australianadv Hi there, mate. Yes, that could be an option. I am German, but as I live in Denmark I´ll start exploring Sweden first, though. Plenty of gravel there. Once I have the 900 RP (with more suspension travel than my current Tiger) I might even dare the swedish TET (TransEuroTrail). But that will have to wait until next (european) summer. Safe riding to you, my friend. Wolfgang, a new subscriber.

[@australianadv]

@@LazyJack2003 thanks Wolfgang, appreciate the Sub. I’d love to hit parts of the TET myself someday.

[@cactusman44-w9z]

Looks great ! The road into McKillop's bridge was quite sketchy when I did it in November. Great fun though!

[@australianadv]

Thanks Ryan, and thanks for the tips from your trip. I made a few changes to my itinerary based on them.

[@gremlin2288]

Nice............👍

[@australianadv]

Thanks mate

[@IsYeLizard]

Wonderful stuff! I really enjoyed that. So much land to explore! Wish I could travel there, but, it’s quite a long ride away from Norway. I really enjoy my 2022 Tiger 900 Rally Pro as well.

[@australianadv]

Thanks for the comment. Must be some good riding in Norway though, beautiful country

[@bobdrakeford5731]

That is such a great place to ride, but I am a biased Victorian. I totally agree re the Off Road versus Off Road Pro mode. I own a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro too and had the same experience. This was a great video to watch. Thanks for sharing. 👍😁

[@australianadv]

Thanks, it's was a great ride. I wish I had a week down there.

[@jethrowingnut13]

Just discovered your channel. Love your work. Professionally done, and well narrated. New Sub here. 👍👍

[@australianadv]

Thanks mate, just found your channel. Great content, subbed as well.

[@jethrowingnut13]

@@australianadv Thanks, and for the sub, cheers. 👍

[@HardPackedADV]

A good video, and subscribed.

[@australianadv]

Thanks for subbing, much appreciated:-)

[@russellgrubner1916]

What amazing country, so big and varied with lots of dodgy stuff to kill you 😂. Great videos. A kiwi fan...👍

[@australianadv]

Thanks mate, but I reckon your country’s got some incredible rides too. Definitely hope to do some riding over there some day

[@merkeynerk]

I thought the difference with Offroad Pro mode is that it completely disables the ABS. Traction control can be disabled in all modes via the "bike setup" menu if you want to keep the ABS active. (If you want ABS and TC to both be off then switching modes is much easier/faster.)

[@australianadv]

It's typical complicated Triumph stuff. The options for TC and ABS are Road, Off-Road or Off. If you have the Rally PRO version of the bike: Off-Road Mode sets the ABS and TC to "Off-road" but you can configure either to "Off" in the home menu. Off-Road Pro Mode sets ABS and TC to "Off" but you can configure either to "Off-road" in the home menu. If you have the regularly Rally (non-PRO) version of the bike you can only choose Off-Road Mode and this sets the ABS and TC to "Off-road" which can't be changed to "Off". I was originally pretty happy with just using Off-Road Mode rather than Off-Road Pro, because the "Off-Road" level of TC was 10X better than default "Road", but after experimenting with Off-Road Pro mode it's definitely better still. I'll do a deeper dive into the menu at some stage, but I can say for sure that if you're hammering up a hill with ruts and corrugation the Off-Road mode makes the rear wheel bang and shudder and you lose traction, but as soon as you change to Off-Road Pro you get linear force and much better push.

[@scottyq66]

I desperately want a 900 rally pro!. 😂😂

[@australianadv]

It's a good all-rounder, tours well but can take some pretty tough tracks. I'm loving it...

[@ThroughtheValleyADV]

So what tyres did you end up putting on?

[@australianadv]

Oh shoot, I was going to mention in this video but forget. I went with the Continental TKC80 front and back. Very pleased with them.

[@ThroughtheValleyADV]

@@australianadv that’s awesome. Should be a great tyre…

[@lpcsc]

Great video. Greetings from Brazil! How many liters is this yellow bag?

[@australianadv]

66 litres. Highly recommend it.

[@lpcsc]

@@australianadv I've just got a 60l, was afraid to be too large on the sides. After see your video, I'm not afraid anymore. Same bike, same bag. We're good taste man's. 😅 Keep riding, my fried!

[@australianadv]

Some people just have it😌

[@sambrown1779]

Awesome. So you just used the Gaia app for planning and navigation? Does that require a subscription? Great work

[@australianadv]

You can get a long way without subscibing, I haven't subscribed. All the planning you can do on a computer without subscribing. The phone app is a bit stricter, so make sure you've got everything planned on the computer first.

[@ChrisBrownFazer1]

Great video really enjoyed watching it. Envious of your choices over in the East. Good comments on the different off road modes, did you change your suspension settings when you hit the dirt? Recognised the squeaky rear break😄

[@australianadv]

Yes, I usually reduce the front compression and rebound damping from 8 to 15. Just makes for a better ride, smoother and stops the front end from being too skittish. I don't bother with the rear pre-load usually. Makes the bike a bit more wallowy and less flickable, so always set back to 8 once I'm back on tar.

[@swampymarsh7214]

loving the vids. i hope to upgrade to a 900 rally pro eventually. what sort of distance are you getting out of a tank?

[@australianadv]

I'm getting an easy 400km. A couple of examples: 1. Home to Cooma was 413km, mostly freeway speeds, had about 1/8th tank left. 2. Buchan to Swifts Creek to Dargo to Hotham to Bright, 350km total, about half of it on difficult dirt tracks through mountains, arrived at Bright with maybe 30-40km range left.
