Rebel Ryker’s return from the rainforest run.
Wow! Hasn't been your week. Take care of yourself!
Better, still gets wonky at 70+ though.
Mmm, I see what you mean. This is perplexing to say the least😭
@@thomaskaufmann226 I think it is usable as is. All in all I do think it is understandable and the volume is better than the old set up. I suppose it all depends on how much you want to tinker with it and how perfect you want the sound.
Good to know ya haven’t killed each other yet. Sound quality is a bit wonky but it’s louder and clearer than what you had previously so an improvement…
Thanks for the feedback. I did the exact same ride today using the DJI microphone and put it up so I can watch it on the big tv. Then I can do a comparison. I haven’t watched it yet but I suspect the DJI is better, just not as easy to set up and more prone to losing connection( chiefly because the USB type C connection is wearing out out from too much movement.)
Where did you get the jock shift bar from
Hello, Tom here. If you mean the gold coloured metal rod I cut up to make the jock shift handle, it was an old caravan jack handle. I'm guessing that a handle like that would be found at a car dismantlers yard, slash bone yard. Many cars had jack handles like that. Just don't use the one out of one your family's cars, you'll end up in the dog house. Hope this helps👍
Hi Kevin, Tom here👍. The cruise control on Big Rebel is factory fitted. It's their in house electronics you might say. From the way Wendy describes it, it works extremely well. There are a number of after market cruise controls available though, depending on what you ride. Of the top of my head, I can't remember the name of any of them( I blame age😢). If you search RUclips for cruise controls for motorcycles, I'm sure something interesting will come up. Hope you muster the courage to remove that battery 😂, cheers 🥂
Wow! Nice little park. Ya'll are having waay too much fun. I'm struggling to garner sufficient gumption to yank the battery out of the ol' girl and hook it up to the battery tender. I'm not looking forward to that fun little chore. Oh, lest I forget - What flavor of throttle control do you have? I've just found some kind of throttle lock, and the Peddle Commander. As I understand it, it just mucks with the throttle electronics; not really a throttle control. I'll have to send you a new hat!
Awesome scenery. Lovely ride.
Thank you both for taking us with you. Unfortunately some of the conversation is hard to follow with that background music which seems a little loud? Not complaining though 😉
@@warrenlilje9441 Thank you and we understand what you mean. Tom’s voice comes across much clearer than mine which means I’m the more meek and mild. 😜😜
Thanks for the feedback Warren, Im taking it onboard. Trouble is, I don't think I'm smart enough to do much about it😭. I'll try to turn the mike closer to Wendy's cakehole to lift the volume. Cheers, Tom 😊
@@thomaskaufmann226 You’re a lot more clued up than me so well done for all the great effort with drone shots and everything 👏🏻
Wow! Lovely ride! My hat is off to you. Me - I needs me some pavement! Oh, your throttle control - Does it just hold the throttle open, or does it maintain your speed going up and down hills?
@@kevinjones6435 Once the cruise control is set, it maintains the speed within 2 to 3 klms per hour. One touch of the brake and it switches off. It would keep the speed on hills but unless it’s hills on a highway, I probably won’t use it. I am getting very used to it now and find it great. 😊
Here we live on the rim of a state park. It’s a canyon. And the wildlife comes up out of the park. A lot of deer, mountain lions, cougars, red fox. Rarely a bear. Most of the bears are in our state are in south Texas. But frequently they dash in front of you. So I have learned to really keep my eyes out for them. Sunset, the amount of deer wandering around is scary.
@@jackiehorn3724 Yes, wildlife can be a worry when riding. Our biggest problem is kangaroos. They jump so fast and sometimes double back. Further down NSW and Victoria, there are a lot of wombats but not as dangerous as kangaroos. 🦘
Welcome back! I love your stuff. Say, do those handguard things work - what with the holes in them and whatnot...?
@@kevinjones6435 Good to be back and thank you kindly. You know, I don’t think the hand guards do too much. I’ve still had the odd stone get me. The one thing I did you them for was to rest my hand over when I was using cruise control. They are just the right position to feel comfortable. 😀
I like the rain scenery
Awesome, subscribed.
Ciao, anche il vostro ryker ha lo sterzo molto duro?
@@albertoadornetti5116 Hi Sorry, I had to use translate as I don’t understand Italian. For me, the steering is OK because I have not ridden 2 wheels. However, for anyone that has ridden on 2 wheels, the steering is very hard. I do have to work my arms on tight bends. 😊
Again, you have brought back memories for me. My great grandmother was the district midwife & lived in Nimbin. The butter factory was built on land owned by her & my great grandfather. My parents were married in the Presbyterian Church & I & my 2 siblings were christened in that Church. I have to agree with you both, the northern rivers area of NSW is stunning. Thank you.
I've just discovered your channel & am really enjoying it. This episode especially has been very special as my Aunt & Uncle owned the Chillingham butcher's shop back in the 50s/60s & early 70s. They lived in the house to the left of the shop looking from the bridge.
@@NarelleWalker So happy we could bring you a memory Narelle. We really enjoyed that area. I’m going to watch the video again to see the house. Thanks for watching. ☺️
Really like the videos, really helped me in decided to purchase. I actually went for a Spyder but same difference... Anyway, I like the low-key approach and the easy conversational tone of the narration. Maybe not the most exciting or professional of videos on youtube but I do enjoy just sitting back and enjoying them in peace. Unfortunately I usually watch on the TV as opposed to phone or laptop so don't usually comment but I watch them all.
@@716Spyder Thank you Kevin. Enjoy your Spyder, they are a beautiful 3 wheeler. Yes, we are very low key, we lack the ability to be professional 🤣. We love it that you enjoy watching and I think it is better to watch on the TV. We really want to get away again soon but things keep getting in the way. Hopefully another good ride before Christmas and before the serious heat sets in. Stay safe on your Spyder. ☺️😎
Is insurance for can-am in oz as expensive as car or motorcycle?
@@Wog68 Hi, we only insure for third party property damage and then there is compulsory third party ( personal damage which is part of the yearly registration fee. Third party property is between $100 and $150 and compulsory third can vary. It can actually be as high as $450 which is ridiculous. Full comprehensive is just too expensive for us so we take the risk against fire and theft and damage caused by ourselves or other uninsured people. We do insure our car fully and that is over $1000 a year. It’s all a rip off. Thank you for watching. ☺️
Allright! Looking forward to some overnight tent camping, round the fire, cook stove videos. That was a long journey. Your getting big rebel broke in. Since we’re in fall & going into winter soon, I can ride vicariously through you guys since your in the season. Keep on truckin’ on 3 👍
@@sci-fyguy7767 I look forward to bringing some entertainment to your lounge room. Trying to plan our next trip at the moment. ☺️🛵
I think Tom could do with a Garmin XT gps for Christmas.
Good morning Bob. I (Tom) appreciate your comments and will bring your latest to Wendy's attention every day from now till Christmas 🎄😂
Another good leg of your journey enjoyed. That was a close call on that one lane road on the curve-definitely anxiety inducing.😮 That was some nice drone work getting up that high & panning around to show us those mountain-like areas. I like your big tailbag on your Ryker. I’m sure that’s handy for gear, lunch & bottled water. I have one on the back of my bike but have a lot of emergency equipment in it such as my battery jump box, a tire plug/Co2 inflator kit & a cheap socket set. I also have a magnetic tank bag for other items. I like how you guys switched it up & we got to see Wendy riding the ryker in front for awhile. Looking forward to a couple more videos of this LONG ride. 👍
@@sci-fyguy7767 Thank you. Yes, I like my bag too. It holds a lot and extends if necessary which is really handy at times. Part 3 is being worked on. 👏🏼☺️ Thank you so much for watching. 😀
Oh, you also need to get one of those things where you two can talk to each other.
@@kevinjones6435 Oh now come on. I draw the line there. Admittedly, while filming it might come in handy but I like riding so I don’t have to listen to him prattle on. There’s enough prattling on at home. 😜😆😁
Wow - nice! I have one good riding day left, then it'll be rain and snow for the next four days at least. Hey ya'll need to get one of those mounted GPS thingies. Enjoy!
@@kevinjones6435 Enjoy your 1 good day of riding before the bad weather. We live too far north to see snow which is a little sad. Would have to do about a 10 hour trip in winter to enjoy the snow. Yes, we do need to get a GPS thing. Tom is looking into it but he doesn’t do these things in a hurry. 🥱☺️ Thank you so much for watching.
That was a nice ride. I feel Toms pain with the skin cancers. I’ve had to have two small surgeries on my face to have a spot removed on my forehead & the side of my nose. I’m thinking that I need to get a tinted visor. A lot of times when we ride I’ll put sunblock on my face. It looks like your getting comfortable on big ryker & enjoying the ride. Those quadcopter shots are a nice addition.
@@sci-fyguy7767 Thank you. Part 2 is being worked on right now. I was not that happy with this video; a little boring I think. Yes, skin cancers are a real problem in our household. I have had many removed and a few bad ones. Tom actually had a melanoma many years ago so he needs regular checks. I use a sunblock on my face because even though the tinted visor is great, I can still get a little burnt. Our helmets have flip down tinted visors built in as well as the full clear and now that I have had it for a year, I wouldn’t be without it. Loving the big Ryker, it really has some punch. Take care. ☺️
Welcome back! I love your videos.
@@kevinjones6435 Thank you. I’ve watched it back and I’m a little disappointed. I was a bit bored with myself prattling on about magpies. Tom is working on part 2 now so it won’t be long before we are back on your screen. ☺️
I’ve been wondering if Wendy likes that 900 rally as much as the 600 since she hasn’t posted in a while. 🤔
@@sci-fyguy7767 Wendy here. Yes, I do like it but I was so used to the 600 that it felt so comfortable getting on it and riding it. I know I will feel that way with the 900, I just need a few more distance rides. ☺️👍
Looking forward to a new ride with you two in beautiful Australia, soon. My Wife & I are planning on getting two ryker 600’s in the spring. (For us it’s april). I’m sure you’ll get used to your rally 900 soon. 👍
@@sci-fyguy7767 I bet Spring can’t come around quick enough for you. It’s very exciting. The bad news for us is that we are in for a very bad summer, heat wise, bushfires, storms etc. I don’t like being out in the extreme heat 🥵. We shall get in as many rides as possible before the bad heat hits us and we are off on another little trip later this week ( all going well ). Hoping for great scenery so watch this space. Take care. 😀
Did you buy the full rear fender? The rally in qld has a half rear fender. Keep up the great work, love the videos.
@@3D0WN_AUS Thank you. Yes, Rally does come with half rear fender but we decided we preferred a full one so ordered and changed. I guess it takes “the rally” look away but I don’t mind. ☺️
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder I was wondering if that was possible as that’s the only thing I don’t like about the rally. Thanks heaps.
@@3D0WN_AUS Yes, it is possible. It is the same fit as the fender off the 600. When Tom broke my 600 fender, we bought a new one and then when I bought the Rally, we moved it from the 600 to the Rally and ordered another one for the 600 before we sold it. ☺️
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder awesome thanks.
Hi Wendy, Just thought I would message you and let you know that I am getting my Ryker next week 😁, I am so excited and have been watching your videos! Thank you for sharing your adventures . I am looking forward to getting on the road and doing some long distances😊
@@antoinettelilje Hi Antoinette Congratulations on getting a Ryker. You will love it. Are you in Australia? Do you already have a licence ? My first little Rebel Ryker has just sold to a lady. I am going to miss her even though I have Big Rebel now. Thank you for watching my videos, I really enjoy doing them. ☺️😎
It's fascinating to learn so much about your neck of the woods. Lovely ride BTW. Take care and stay safe! - Oh, have fun!
Remember when you come to the USA, ride on the right side of the road! I have seen Aussies exit the airport in their rental car and crash.
@@jimaccornero3688 I would not even attempt to ride or drive in a right hand side country. I just know I would lose concentration and end up on the wrong side. 😝
Is it true that everything down there tries to kill you? <shudder>
@@kevinjones6435 Only the Drop Bears. 😂 No, we Aussies joke to the rest of the world about Drop Bears. As for other animals, it’s the same as anywhere else, if you invade their territory, they will attack if they want. Crocodiles will take a human quite quickly if you ignore the signs but they are Far North Qld, North Northern Territory and North WA. Brown snakes can kill if you get bitten and don’t get to a hospital quick enough and we have them around but very rarely see them. A big cranky male kangaroo could kill you if he kicked you but that would be rare. Sharks can kill and we have plenty of those. It’s really a great country to live in.
You and your husband are awesome. Have you two ever thought about getting Bluetooth comms units in your helmets so you two can easily communicate and listen to music, your phone, gps? They would allow you two to seamlessly communicate without needing to slow down or stop.
@@ngg23 Thank you for your awesome comment. There is just one problem with comm units - it means I would have to talk to Tom because he wouldn’t shut up the whole journey. Seriously, it’s a good point and up until a week ago when I went off provisional, I was not allowed to use one. Food for thought now but there would have to be rules on how much talking takes place 😜
@RelishtheRyker-Downunder That's hilarious I guess I'd be like Tom 😂. I got my motorcycle permit here in the States about a month ago, started buying gear I (got a comms unit for the music and gps love it) took a 3 wheeler class and am actually finishing my deal and picking up my Can Am Ryker 900 Sport this morning in a few hours. I'm super excited (and nervous) to join the ryker community.
@@ngg23 Good on you and I can imagine just how excited you are. Different rules here in Oz; I had to have a year on a 600 before I could advance to a 900. If I was under 25, it would have been 2 or 3 years. Enjoy your Sport, I know you will. 😎
Just wondering what you are useing for camera gear as I thinking about recording some of my spyder rides. I have a go pro 10 with 3 batteries a wind cover a remote for turning the camera off and on to put on handle bars I don't have a mic any suggestions on them. what would I need to do for editing I do have a real good laptop.
Hello Bob, Tom here. Wendy told me about your question. Let's start with editing. I do it all on an iPad with the apple iMovie app. It's really intuitive at least for me. We had some issues with storage capacity so we bought a laptop to edit on and I have tried many different editing apps but the laptop sits unused. I simply can't get my head around the editing on it. I'm back to the iPad, it's just soooo much better for me at least. The iMovie app doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the " big name editing apps" but it's much simpler, (like my brain🤣). As for video, we have a DJI Osmo Action 3 with the DJI wireless microphone set-up. Have had issues with these under warranty and the camera was replaced because the USB-C port literally wore out, so no one has the perfect set up. There are lots of tutorials on RUclips for different microphone set ups for GoPros, so have a search there and you'll be well advised, I'm sure. Good luck with it all and ask anytime, only I'm not that clever, clearly, by the amount of cockups we have🤣, cheers👍
That comparison of Australia over the United States in size was very interesting. From what I’ve always known, road trains are semi’s pulling 3 trailers? They are only allowed in the rural ares when crossing the continent. It’s gonna take a while for me to get used to that 900. I really liked the black & yellow color scheme of your 600.
@@sci-fyguy7767 Yes, correct about road trains although we know that the law has changed to allow doubles into Brisbane Port on certain roads. Not sure about other capital cities. Agreed about the colour. It’s not quite the same when watching on RUclips, I think the black and yellow looked better on screen.
Beautiful country. Wow! <sigh> There's nothing quite like that round these parts.
@@kevinjones6435 Where are you located Kevin? I am sure there would be something beautiful near you.
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder Oh, silly me. I'm here in Idaho USA. Beautiful scenery here also, albeit a wee bit more mountainous. Have fun!
@@kevinjones6435 They grow potatoes 🥔 in Idaho don’t they?
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder Oh yeah. Idaho is the potato capital of the world!
good vlog Love the whole map thing you got about population nearly 27million compared to 334 million in America and here in New Zealand 5.5 million. I have seen a fair bit of Australia over many holidays over there and have traveled down from Port Douglas down the east side right down to Yorke Peninsula. Favorite places houseboating on the Murray River and Lakes Entrance. Have you ever been to New Zealand?
@@bobeden2067 Thank you. Wendy here. Yes, I went to NZ in 1981 at age 20 and travelled both islands. Tom and I went to the South Island over 10 years ago and hired a car and travelled about. Love it and would like to go back. You have travelled a beautiful part of Australia. I love the East Coast but Western Australia has beautiful beaches and towns. The Murray is lovely. Visited Mildura a number of times when our daughter and son in law lived there. Too many dust storms though. ☺️
Sweet looking Ryker Rally, the step up in power from the 600 to 900 would definitely be noticeable. Keep enjoying those rides 😊👍
@@Daryl-W1966 Thank you. Yes, it’s a very noticeable difference and I’m loving it. 😊
Tom’s one step closer to that adventure bike. 🤣
Well, wait till you see part 3 of this trip. Though I don't think the video will do the road justice. I think it was the most fun I have had whilst still wearing my diaper/nappy😂. No, seriously, it was an epic road/track. Hope I can edit up quick for you all👍
nice to see you are all legal now.
Just wanted to say hi from the USA! Hey! You're riding on the wrong side of the road! :)
@@kevinjones6435 Hi to you too. ☺️ If I rode on the other side of the road, I’d get myself into all sorts of strife. 😯😂
If watching on a phone or tablet, just turn it upside down while watching and it puts her on the correct side of the road 😅😅
Brian and Becky from Charlotte , North Carolina 😊
@@poppyclypsenoir9156 Hi Brian and Becky Welcome to our videos 😀
I interested in these. I ride bikes but illness and age are starting to make me think this maybe the way to go. Thanks for the vid.
@@Landylala Definitely worth considering, I don’t think you would regret it. ☺️
greetings from ballarat just reccomended you, great to see these videos. i enjoyed it, thanks for sharing,
@@AridersLifeYT Thank you so much; we enjoy making them.
In dry heat, dry evaporative jacked might help. You just pour down cold water in hole of jacket and it will keep you saved from disorientation and hopefully from heat stroke.
@@Wog68 Interesting information, thank you. ☺️
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder check ergodyne ( usa ). There is German made too ( I forgot the name), which is better and they even dry evaporative hats too. Price will drop as holidays are near and fall is next in northern hemisphere.
Can you drive three wheelers on car license or need motorcycle endorsement?
@@Wog68 Unfortunately, a bike licence is required. Rules might be different in other States but I really don’t think so. We are in NSW and formally QLD and it’s definitely a separate licence. Personally, I think it’s silly. A car licence should suffice.
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder in USA, in some states, you can drive three wheelers on car license, in some states, separate endorsement for three wheelers (means you can’t drive two wheelers, in the rest, you should have motorcycle endorsement plus training for three wheeler. It is how $$$ are generated.
@@Wog68 Yes, it always comes back to the $$$. Which State are you from, I am guessing maybe Florida 🤔
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder yeh. I used to live in Vic.
Here I south East USA summer temperatures started from early April and temperatures are over 95F with lot of humidity temperatures remain in 80s till late in night. So long summers are coming.
@@Wog68 Yes, we have humidity where we are. I don’t like it much but winters are great.
How much is Ryker in oz? Can you rent it? It would be fun to tour all around the continent.
@@Wog68 Ryker are expensive here compared to some other countries. You could get a good second hand 600 anywhere from $12,000 to $16,000 and maybe a 900 Rally from $15,000 to $20,000. A new Rally is approx $24,000 and that is the one that would be best for going around Oz. However, I have done 15,000 klms on my 600 including a 6000klm trip up to North Qld and back and I didn’t have a problem. 900 is best for off roads though. Fantastic country to travel around if you stick to the safe roads. ☺️
@@RelishtheRyker-Downunder AUD 12000 for used Ryker 600 really too much. Is it out the door price with all tax, tag and junk fees & charge? Because its MSRP is about USD 8000. If you make short but video is scenic places of OZ, people will love it. Cuffs Harbor is a nice area to live. Nice weather year around, beautiful shore lines, all Elecric train near by. I’m dreaming of coming back to oz with a telescope called Unistellar if I can afford one in retirement. There no better clean and quiet night sky on the planet then oz.
Enjoy the 900 rally, I'm sure you're going to love it 😊👍. We're waiting for better weather here in Christchurch NZ as itching to get out for some longer rides and sunshine 🌞
@@Daryl-W1966 Thank you, I hope I do enjoy it. You’re waiting for better weather and we want a bit less sunshine here at present. Been a bit hot for Spring in northern NSW. ☺️
Bless him, you're a pain in the A***.
First day of spring. 🤔It’s kinda the first day of fall for us. My Wife & I are planning on getting rykers next spring. We had a friend tell us he test rode one & said it was hard to steer so we test rode one ourselves. Neither my Wife our I found them hard to steer at all. The only thing hard was having to end the test ride! Guess once you have your rally for a while, Tom Will eventually have to get an adventure on road/off road type bike?
@@sci-fyguy7767 Yes, Spring has certainly sprung down under in our part of Australia but damaging winds, flooding and cold down in Victoria and Tasmania. You just can’t pick it. Hot here again today but cooling off back to Spring temps tomorrow at least. I don’t have any issues with the steering at all and I agree with you and am pleased you also found it easy. Tom says there is definitely a difference but he is not too bothered by it. You are correct, after testing out the rougher back roads and seeing if I enjoy off road, I think Tom will upgrade to an adventure bike. That is if little Rebel sells. She is up for sale but no takers as yet. ☺️
