Thanks for this video. It is a good concept and I hope that more motorists adopt a rider.

This is a nice idea. We have lane filtering here in my home state. When I see a motorcyclist coming through, I try to move over to give them more space. It is my way of saying I can see you. I generally get a quick wave from them as they come past.

What wonderful scenery.

Wonderful topic.

👍👊✌

Hey Mr T. It is an interesting concept. I think it is a pitty that most people just don't give a Flog about the safety of others. What a surprise to see my oogaly head in yr promotion. Thanks for that Mate. Cheers Benno.

This is great to hear. It gives us hope for us riders in this cruel world. Nice video bro. Enjoyed.

Good idea 👍 Windy Point ?

What a wonderful idea!

Not a bad idea TRP especialy in the rain.

Interesting idea...it could work..

Good stuff Tim, I reckon I've done it (inadvertently adopted rider's) before we gave it this title. Some though probably aren't adoptable unfortunately and it's like watching an accident waiting to happen, and nothing short of having a proper word is going to save them from themselves. The standards are scary. I'm sure you've watched rider's and can tell within a few seconds how experienced they are or aren't. Keep warm and safe mate 🙂

I never thought about that practice...will give it ago if the opportunity comes up. Cheers bro.

In the UK Highway code there's stuff about protecting people who are more at risk that you. It's a shame it's rarely done though. Good on her.

I've experienced rider adoption but from the front not the rear, the driver truly acting like a guardian angel. I was riding a narrow single track road through a Scottish glen on my brute of a Kawasaki ZZR1400/ZX14 when I passed a Mercedes parked in a passing place. The narrow road winds uphill then down with two nasty steep hairpin switchbacks one uphill one downhill. I stopped on the crest to take photos of the stunning scenery when the Mercedes passed me, I followed and ended up quite close behind it. Ahead I could see it stopped completely blocking the road and at first thought " what on earth are they doing?" As I got closer I saw the Mercedes driver chatting to the driver of a car in a passing place, which I had been unable to see before that. Obviously a warning was given that I was behind him and the driver waited at the side of the road untill I passed. As we both followed the road as it snaked downhill through trees another car approached in the opposite direction. The Mercedes driver slowed but kept driving forwards forcing the oncoming car to reverse into a passing place, clearing the road for me. Further downhill at the steep switchback again they stopped blocking the road, unseen by me was an Audi coming the opposite way. The Mercedes driver reversed slightly back forcing me to hold back, then pulled forwards into a gateway once I was tucked into the widest part of the turn and the Audi driver could see me. Had it not been for the Mercedes driver's actions I would have been forced to stop on steep inlines with a very heavy bike and nowhere to get past or out of harms way 🙏😇

Well first off I have to say what an excellent thought that was to help protect a rider on the road in poor weather conditions. My next thought was that it would be only most useful with an inexperienced or learner rider. Now hold that thought for a moment. I do think that most of us that ride look out for other bikes on the road when driving, I know I do, whether in a car or the truck, I even have videos showing just that! Remember that thought, well I got to thinking that as an experienced motorcyclist that I do not need a guardian angel looking out for me, then I remembered an incident from two years back. In bad weather I was riding from the east coast back home, about 3.5 hours ride. Anyway I had passed a truck and leaving a safe distance was starting to move back over to the next lane, I think there was 3 lanes each way there, the truck I'd just passed was blowing his air horns, I had no idea why but looking to see what he was doing I caught a glimpse of a car undertaking the truck and me doing 80-90mph. He raced by and I gave a thankful wave to the truck driver because if I'd moved over to the next lane I could have been wiped out. So I guess he was my guardian angel that day. Hopefully this might just make some drivers think of riders in these circumstances and just look out for them. Ride safe and Happy as always mate.🏍👍😁😁

I think that's a grand idea! I absolutely love what this lady did for that rider. 🙌❤️

Oh yes I've heard of this before, been dong that way before I heard it, getting none riders who don't ride to do this and understand the importance will be tuff...But worth trying for sure, I'm always grateful to have somebody following who I know is doing that, I give them a gestor such as a wave or thumbs up of appreciation when I can

sounds interesting

👍👍👍👍

Great idea.A sticker Adopt a Rider on your car 🚗 be a good way to promote the idea 💡 as others will see.

That is pretty cool 👍

I feel that many riders when they are driving a car think the same way when a rider is near by I know I do. But this is a good point to highlight to us all. Well done buddy good video.

riding back from a hospital app last year i calt up to a p plater motocycle rider witch i could see people passing way to close to and right up his ass ,really pissed me of 🤬 so i road behind him for about 80ks till i had to turn off to go to my house . made sure that no one would pass and cut him off or tail gate . this law restricting L and P plate riders to 80kph is just wrong in sooo many ways and puts new riders in a dangerous spot .🤬🤬 keep well mate and stay safe-ish 😉🍺

Interesting idea. Although I can see it becoming strange being followed by a car I don't know.

Very cool concept from a none rider.

A great idea, I have done similar in a heavy rain storm protecting a riders 20. A great conversation starter 😎👌

In my car I give a respectful distance if a motorcycle is in front. However on my bike I don't really like being followed, just because I feel I need to keep an eye on them in the mirror.

That’s a good idea.we all have to coexist in this world.look out for one another.

Good idea, but there's more chance of the buggers knocking em off round here🤣🤣

you put together a real nice video here.

Thanks a lot For subbing😊 up. I did the same hit all those notifications so look forward to seeing some of your videos that come out in the future. 😊

Hope everything is going well. Awesome video

Last time you were there was 75 year ago!😆 What is your youth secret?

This was such a beautiful trip. Loved every minute of it! Looks like, as it stands right now, I’ll be in Australia for about 2 weeks for business probably in October. It was scheduled once before and put off but now is back on again. So hoping it happens this go round.

soo fun!

Hello. Clear skies. Nice ride! comfortable road. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing! You will enjoy MOTO camping with your friends. The beach in the drone video is amazing. nice national park. Good tour! Thank you for taking me. Thank you my friend.

Yup, every 10 yrs or so "BAN THE BIKE" rhetoric comes up. Some radio jock is just trying to boost ratings with this old sensationalist hoohar, a typical mainstream media ploy. Seems to me that major contributors to the road toll are a serious lack of situation awareness, over confidence, the inappropriate use of the mobile phone while in control of a vehicle and the idea that she'll be right mate, it won't happen to me. Education is key but many don't give a F$%k. Cheers Mr T

Looked like a fun break... bit hot in all that bike clobber wandering around though I bet?

Fantastic video!!!

Wow! What beautiful scenery!

Very nice 👍😊

Doesn't YT have some nice free music?

Beautiful beach there!!

What a cool looking peninsula!

I see you have a producer there lol ...at the beginning

This is a great place and not too busy

Looks like a beautiful place. I see they leave wrecks alone down there too. We have a few wrecks near us I hope to visit this year including a concrete ship. I shan't be swimming though 😀

👍🌊😍✌️

Is that where the local Italians live?
