Can we make it to the beach for lunch?
Is it because you're in Australia that the indicators are above the handlebar as they hang below on European bikes?
Must be the reason I guess!
Hahaha you guys 😅👌 mate from what I saw of the Simpson recently, you guys will piss it in. Very little of it is like that deep nasty shit. Some bits are tho. Good vid man cheers
Haha thanks Josh, here's hoping that's the case! My main concern now isn't the sand riding, it's the heat at the time of year we're going to be there!
@@AusMotoooh yeah that will add to the fun, when are you going? I was freezing my ass off there this month haha, didn't take my rain jacket off till like 2pm. It was cloudy tho.
@@MVDBR Mid September 🥵🔥
You need to get more comfortable riding quicker on the sand. Try it without the luggage, build up confidence, then load the bike up with luggage. Keep the weight low if possible. 80kph + , dont look so close at the ruts.
Noted mate, but unfortunately gotta travel at least 5 hours to get to some decent sand to ride, so not something we can do often
Let us know in the comments below whether we'll survive crossing the Simpson Desert!
I reckon you guys should be fine..you've done Googs so you know Big/Little Deserts are much harder. As far as water goes everyone is different. On our recent trip the first day I drank 4 litres 28c but the next 2 days were cooler and drank about 2L each day. Extra for cooking etc and I had icy cold Coopers each night and rode with only a Camelbak which helped alot.
Thanks for the insights, Sausage, super helpful!
Great video Josh, this is one of the contenders for my new bike post my accident last week! Did well with this one!
It’s a ripper of a bike mate, I’d love to have one parked in my garage!
when in doubt go flat out
Great words to live by when riding sand!
Guys, look at your luggage set ups. 14 litres of water, how long do you plan on being in the desert? Keep the fluids low, repack as you go if need be as you use fuel and water. That CRF set up that is as wide as a semi, just no. Like a big pendulum. Piss the 5 litre plastic containers off and buy bladders, the adv ones are good. Anyway, you will have fun. And yes, the big desert sand is tough.
Planning for 2 nights, 3 days but the reason we want to bring 14L is we're looking at crossing in September which can be very hot from what I'm told. As for the width of the luggage racks on the CRF, he bought the racks ages ago and can't be stuffed changing them just for this trip and we do have bladders, used them on our last trip to Googs however they don't pack as well in the panniers as a jerry does but thanks for the info, we'll rethink some of our packing for sure!
@@AusMoto All good. I did it in September a couple of years ago, ended up quite mild, 26,27. 14 litres is probably a bit of overkill, especially if you are all carrying that. As for the CRF racks, if he can't be bothered changing them, that's up to him. Just don't expect it to handle nicely in the sand. A small wobble becomes a big one. Enjoy the trip.
@@andrewseeber1190 Thanks mate, fingers crossed it's mild for us too!
In really soft sand… Start in 2nd gear ;)
Gotta give it a shot, just want to make sure I don't burn the clutch haha!
@@AusMotoIn soft sand you won’t burn the clutch taking off in 2nd gear… Unless you are slow to get up on the pegs and get the bike ‘planing’… Hard at first, fun once it clicks! Have an awesome and safe trip! Drink plenty, pull up in shade and stop before the fatigue sets in!
@@alphonsvanmaanen Thanks heaps mate, appreciate it!
That looks like tough going boys. Frustration, fun and pain all at once🙃
All the makings of a good adventure 🤣
Ha ha fully loaded bikes in sand, comedy ensues. Maybe do it without the added fuel just to make sure the set up holds together, but year that sand is a lot different to the Simpson. Also I’m sure you’ve googled it already, but with that gas cooker you need to turn the top pieces outward so the grooves line up with the burner section. It had me for the first few trials as well ha ha
Yeah, heard the sand is much softer at Big Desert compared to Simpson, so at least that's reassuring! And yeah, my bro ended up working it out hahaha!
Sounds like you partook of the Electric Spinach before riding, giggle monster had you good. 15:38 Is why I'll never use hard panniers.
Haha yeah, for most of the weekend I was in stiches and could barely breathe because of the company I was with 😂😂 And yep, wouldn't want to get your foot crushed under hard ones.
Blimey,i got scared just watching. I went on my first big sand ride 2 weeks ago. I'm old and can ride,but not that well to relax. Cracker
Haha hope you enjoyed your sand riding experience!
Hey mate you’ll be fine, sounds like you’re enjoying your time out there 😂 brilliant👌🏼
😂 😂 Thanks mate, here's hoping!
Steering damper. Try and ride faster, momentum is your friend. Baggy front tyres. Get brutal about the weight reduction. Simpson is a lot firmer generally. Great vid.....
Thanks David, yeah I think a Steering damper would be a great mod to add and definitely noted your other points. Glad you enjoyed!
@@AusMoto And in a slightly ironic twist, myself and some friends are planning to come over and do a bit of Victorian High Country. People also say, do the Big Desert while you're there, sounds like a challenge now I've watched that.....🤔
@@davidfindlay5432 I'm sure you'll be fine, we just make it look hard haha and you'll love the VHC, especially if you've never been before!
Gday Josh Howard here met you and your brother last year on our way back from the simpson (quaundong pies)! What tyre pressures where you running
Hey Howard, good to hear from you mate, hope you and Dermot are well! We were running 14 front / 12 rear, but thinking we can potentially drop it down a bit more given we're running rim locks.
@@AusMotoGreat video mate very entertaining 😊 that should be about right I usually try 14 14 to begin with and it works most of the time but you can drop to 10 if you get in trouble with rim locks. A good test for the Simpson is the Bordetrack SA or scorpion springs. I would not try it with full Simpson load just camping gear fuel needed and 6 lites of water. Soft sand and some very technical dunes. If you can do that, the Simpson will be easy by comparison. Also it is easier for the bikes in front as they don’t get tangled up in the squiggly lines from the other bikes so they to have one bike keep left the other right and alternate to give everyone a break
@@tonyrdr7207 thanks mate, glad you enjoyed! I'm keen to check out Border Track, we just didn't have time on this trip to make the most of it but will definitely give it a crack one day.
🔥👍
🤙🤙
@@AusMoto don't forget in the sand as far as luggage less is more 👍
@@mototrailz Yep, we are cutting down even more on what we're bring, just the bare essentials!
Those were the days (the 1970s )when you could go trail riding without these dudes showing up...
I wish…
Not having ABS isn't real problem for anyone who knows how to brake. Having shit brakes is a real problem!
Yep!
On your weak front brake I would find some new grippy brake pads--your dad may have polluted you current pads with lubricant by accident. New pads may wake up your brakes--its inexpensive to try.
Noted, will let him know to give it a shot!
Alright, i need to travel to vic soon to see this 😂
This was actually in SA, in the Flinders Ranges 🤙
Dang it really got ya 😬
Got me good haha
So police can drive illegal dirt bikes???? And also he was on a track so he didn't broke the law
They’re on legal bikes
How about a 50 to 60 hp, sub 425 lb adventure bike.
The unicorn bike, one day hopefully!
Great explanation Josh thanks 🙏 I too have the POD 4's with their sleeves underneath and should wear them more frequently, especially now I have a big BMW 1250 GSA which weighs 268 kg! Cheers Karl in Tassie
Glad you enjoyed, Karl and good to hear you got yourself a pair, you can't go wrong with them!
Your dad looks like a real bruiser/destroyer !!! Obviously a talented dedicated man, great work on restoring those bikes ! Great video...Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it, I'll pass the comment along to him!
I hope the Irish police don't get any ideas like this... lol

8:44 “bloody four wheel drives”. Is he kidding? Sherlock homes there just deduced a random piece of wire is clearly the fault of the always irresponsible 4WDers.. Typical attitude of many riders. Funny the same riders that habitually whine about 4WDs are happy to get assistance when they breakdown, get injured or need recovery. The same riders will blame “cagers” on-road for incidents they as aggressive, immature and ego driven riders caused or contributed to. Like many Adv riders I drive and ride off-road and here’s a shocking revelation - their are dickheads in both communities.
I was the guy who bought Josh's T7, was a great bike in many ways but in slippery conditions it was a handful and was very topheavy. Sold it and went to a 21 690, just as much power but much more manageable in difficult conditions.
Small world mate! Hope the T7 served you well and great to hear that you found the 690 a more suitable bike, seems to be the case for a lot of people that like to ride in the tough stuff!
You are a bloody good rider mate
Haha thanks but average at best mate, just love giving challenging things a crack!
I didn't see anyone getting pulled over or did I miss something 😕 😮
Camera started rolling just after they pointed to us to pull over
@@AusMoto fair point buddy .
I remember my first time on the Island and rounding turn 12 for the first time and looking down that straight. That was the most exhilarating feeling I'd ever had on two wheels. I too started braking at the 200m marker and was almost stopped by the time I got to Doohan corner. Toward the end of the day, I wasn't breaking at all and realised just how much speed can be carried through that corner. I understand your trepidation coming up on Lukey Heights but that was my favour corner. I found I could carry so much speed through there that I made most of my passes there. The most fun I've ever had on two wheels. Thanks for sharing
Same feelings mate, it was an incredible experience and I’m already looking so forward to the next time I’m there which is hopefully this year when it warms up a bit 👌
FTP FTS
👍
The self-driving taxi was crazy to watch. I can't believe they're allowing things like this in California. Definitely very impressive if those things are reliable and safe.
Yeah, didn’t even know they were open to the public but when I saw them driving around everywhere, I thought I’d have to give it a try! No idea if they’re safe though haha
That could have been a lot worse if it had taken the chain off the sprocket.... After watching your video I went straight to the garage to check the bolts on the chain guard on my vstrom 1050!
Yeah, I was very lucky!!
Pumps are like that only in certain states like California and New Jersey. California has it's nice parts, but I certainly wouldn't recommend visiting it first. I'd have done Oregon and Washington state if on that side.
Ah good to know, never seen one like that in Australia, so it completely threw me off trying to use it haha!
“Incoming call”….oh hey boss cough cough yeah sorry I won’t be able to get to the conference I caught something on the flight over. I should be right in a couple of days cough cough. Ha ha thanks for sharing man. Around town I recon sticking to the right would be easier, just follow the flow of traffic. But out on those single carriage way roads, I recon I’d veer back to the left and have a head on.
Hahaha 😂 Yeah, had to keep reminding myself to stick right or die!
Welcome to the US. The gas pumps are only like that in California. The rest of the country you just put the nozzle in the tank and pull the handle.
Yeah, I had no idea what was going on hahaha
Looks like you had a great ride in CA. Don't feel bad about that gas pump. That's a CA thing. Every time I ride over there I forget what a bloody pain those are. 🤣 Cheers! Be safe, ride safe.
It was great time and I had no idea what I was doing at the pump hahaha, I actually cut the clip shorter but I was standing there fiddling around for so long before asking for help 🤣 Thanks and likewise!
I went to LA and SF prior to COVID. I have some vids on my channel of my escapades. Including nearly getting arrested. Alice’s is a great place. Any road out is absolutely stunning!
Haha I'll have to check them out and yeah, they got some awesome riding roads!
Surely an adventure bike trip in the future? I know its a dream of mine! Crazy country with how diverse the land is. Still though, home is amazing too!
For sure mate, the big road trip will be on an adventure bike with the intention of hitting some of the popular BDRs! And yes, there's no place like home, just can't beat the outback and speaking of which, there's a big outback adventure on the horizon!
Very cool man, glad you survived 😎🍻
Thanks man! 🍻
Next time in North America, come to Canada 🇨🇦 You have thousands of kms of amazing roads through British Columbia & a riding buddy too. Love your channel ❤
Thanks Eric, Canada is at the top of my list for a motorcycle adventure, absolutely cannot wait to visit!
Be careful in San Francisco get robbed real quick 😂
I did get that impression, so I definitely had my guard up 😂😂 It was also why I was so concerned about the bike getting stolen overnight 😬
I really enjoyed this. I hope you can come back to our state and ride here in San Diego!
Glad you enjoyed this and I will definitely be back!
I love how you didn't even comment on the Lambo with all the bikes around haha
Haha don't even bat an eye at them anymore, but I'll frenzy over the look of a 20 year old supersport 🤣
Just ordered one for $145 shipped, is that a good buy? Been considering this one for awhile
That's a crackin deal!
in aus and yes I live in Aus they have srts as cop cars and dirt bikes like showed and police trucks like the cargo truck but a police one and the have ford ranger and landcrusieser
Yep!
Yeah, wouldn't call that beautiful but got the job done and more than I could do for sure.

I love how there is no stigma against waddling your bike around... I always found it stupid when people said "stop waddling on your bike!" If you can waddle and you are positioning yourself in a parking spot or wherever else... waddle away! Who cares?
Exactly!
