Exploring New Zealand's Milford Sound - motorbike solo camping adventure Episode 6
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- I ride the west coast of New Zealand and explore the Fiordland National Park with it mind-blowing scenery around Milford Sound, then head to a stunning lake and its muddy trails to camp on its shore line.
I love the way you drop the videos on Fridays: it gives me a great way to unwind at the end of the week. And another epic episode! Those end shots are sublime. Thanks for taking us along.
I am glad to hear I upload at the right time Pippa. I also hope it helps people who were thinking about getting out there pull the trigger and go out for an adventure weather by motorbike, bicycle, foot or even car, there is so much to be explored.
@@freewayproject so much motivation to get out! Booked motorbike lessons so I can get out with my mates! seems rude not to in NZ honestly
@@freewayproject. Hi mate…how many klm is on your Himmie…I have a 650 V Strom, great bike…but really leaning towards the Himmie…Cheers
@@jameseddy5309 The Himi missed the New Zealand trip but it's at 50,000km. I personally have had no issue with it.
Thank you Joe. This is incredibly relaxing to watch. It brings out the free spirit in me ... once the kids get a little older i might buy myself a motorcycle
It's great to hear you enjoyed it David, riding does give you that sense of freedom, where you want to ride around the world or explore a local forest just putting around in first gear, you can do it any way you like.
Joe! Your New Zealand Adventure just keeps getting better and better. I'm totally amazed what you've captured. I'm sorry to say, as an adventure motorcycle rider, I laughed at that puddle you rode through, and it just got deeper and deeper. Great you shared that with the viewers. We constantly learn how to keep dry. Well done again Joe!! 👏😁
Thanks mate, New Zealand just keeps delivering.
I wasn't going to put it in but it happened, total brain fade that one, but it's all part of it.
Whoever dropped one of your videos in a Facebook fan page did me really good! I've enjoyed seeing the beautiful sceneries of New Zealand. Thx for these episodes🤝
It's great to hear you are enjoying the New Zealand series. The next series should starting in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for coming to newzealand Jo. With your photos and videos 📹 you show just how good our country is. Keep upright and safe and your feet dry 😅 until next week.
The place is truly stunning everywhere I go. yes I'll try to do a better job of keeping my feet dry haha.
Hey Joe! Thanks for the bridges ❤️. Stunning video and stills. Love the light. Cheers Annie
Thanks Annie, great to hear you enjoyed that episode, that cool bridge is coming in the next episode, I show it twice it's so cool.
I love this planet! Thank you for another beautiful video Joe. Take care.
It is an amazing planet, this region is stunning. It's great to hear you enjoyed this episode.
@@freewayproject I don’t think I would ever not enjoy something you have produced ♥️
I had missed these NZ videos. You're doing the epic country justice the Joe way. Cheers!
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying this new series.
Another epic part of your journey Joe. Absolutely awesome mate. 👍🍻
thanks mate, it has been epic so far.
Mateeeee!! Absolutely amazing and I said it before and I’ll say it again, your face cannot hide the pleasure and joy you are getting from this NZ trip. I’m
really enjoying this trip and following you. Thanks
Thanks mate, it is great to hear you are still enjoying the series. This place is insane, so much fun exploring.
More great videos, some amazing shots of Milford in there.
Thanks mate, yes Milford Sound is incredible.
Hi Joe, another enjoyable video. The scenery is amazing. Once again the still shots at the end were great. The colours in some of those valley shots were beautiful. Thanks Joe. 👍🇦🇺
thanks mate, great to hear you are still enjoying the series. Yes getting to shoot in that last hour of light in a place like that is amazing.
Thanks for the mesmerizing views, mate!
You are welcome, it is definitely a mesmerising place to explore.
Utterly amazing scenery Joe.
Thanks for bringing a little sunshine into what has been a miserable week for my family and I.
New Zealand is really that, absolutely amazing. I hope things turn around.
When you live for a long time far from mountains, valleys like in the video feels unreal! Can't believe, that places like this really exist in the world.
Also recommended your channel to 10 my friends
Yes riding through these valley with it in front of me I am thinking are these things real, it's like being in a movie.
Thanks for the support mate.
My god Joe, you're just teasing me now. I don't think words could describe how stunning that scenery was. Stay dry buddy 😁
Thanks JB, glad you enjoyed it. I'll try stay dry, but............ that's probably not going to happen 😂
Nice one Joe, looking forward to the next one
thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Yes in the next one Queenstown has some awesome tracks.
The drive or ride into milford is an experience. Take your time and enjoy it. Stop time and time again to take it in and get the memories.
Amazing videos.
you are so right, that drive in is amazing, like entering and different world.
Hope you are enjoying the series.
Breathtaking footage Joe! You do find some amazing camping spots to end your epic riding day.
I think they find me, they are everywhere in New Zealand.
Goodness! Those valley and mountains! They look like the Highlands of Scotland.... on steroids! Thanks for taking us along.
It is an incredible place to experience, hard to get it across on film. The highlands of Scotland sound more intriguing every time someone mentions it.
@@freewayproject you can wild camp for free almost anywhere (appropriate) in Scotland. Just sayin.
@@neilmackinnon3371 🤔 good to know, it does look epic, I think more investigating is needed into the area and what's possible.
Hi Joe, yes and again the NZ ride is epic, I have not ridden in that area only been there in a motorhome as well as on a cruise ship in the sounds .... I know you are probably time poor but should have parked up and gone on a boat ride whilst there, it one of the most awesome places on the planet ..... the whole of the South Island is pure magic, when you can camp up every night and have a river, lake or ocean view ...... the photography is once again fantastic.....ps I received the poster yesterday, great quality, and even the packaging was great, thank you .... cheers for now .... 🐦🥝
Thank Rodney, great to hear you are still enjoying the series. I can only imagine how epic it would have been on the water there, I'll definitely be going back.
Great to hear you got the poster and thank you for the support it all helps.
Joe, vos videos sont magnifiques. Absolument superbes. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series.
Kia ora Joe.
Have been totally enthralled with your NZ adventures.
You're a natural story teller with an impressive video skill set.
You've done really well, rolling with the good and the soggy.
Can't wait to go see a sliver of what youve seen. Have an icecream/steak pie on me.
E noho rā (safe travels).
Thank you for the support Mark, it is greatly appreciated. Great to hear you are enjoying the series.
Just stunning stuff Joe, such beauty. Looks a bit chilly there and camping nect to water-think my 58year old chassis would suffer a bit, really enjoing. My wife says youve got the most beautifull eyes and such a nice voice.
It is exactly that, stunning. it's getting a little colder but not enough to stop me riding, it is great during the middle of the day.
Great to here you both are enjoying the series.
Nice work mate!
thanks mate, great to hear you're enjoying the journey.
you deserve much more subscribers and likes, all the love from Cyprus
Thanks mate, I hope you are enjoying the series.
Thanks! Great photography . Brrrrr. Travel safe
Thank you again for the support Larry, it is greatly appreciated.
It is an awesome place to take photos so much amazing scenery.
Epic! What a days ride and really cool that you didn't edit out the scene where you washed your socks in the muddy pool. Those stills are magnificent mate. Cheers.
Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it. I was going to leave it out but I thought it might be a reminder to someone new to riding or someone thinking of getting on a bike that you need to be concentrating all the time, even if it make me look like an idiot.
One of the best episodes yet. How stunning is Milford Sound?! It's such another world that it's even in one of the recent Aliens movies. Pretty cool. Love what you're doing, Joe. The definition of inspiring. Thanks for putting it together and sharing it with us.
Also: no idea how you're managing to do this while also finding the time to edit your photos and put the videos together.
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series. Yes other worldly is a great way to describe it.
Great editing mate. Love the 2 second splits. Also love NZ, I've got unfinished business there. So good.....
thanks mate, great to hear you're enjoying the series. It is a stunning place to explore.
Another epic ride. Thanks again Joe...
Thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it.
That was stunning!! Amazing camera work. Just been enjoying your series so much. Great Friday night watch!
Need to go do this trip-feel so stupid I haven’t been there in years and I live in Dunedin. Spring trip for sure ✊
Thanks for the inspiration 🏍️
It is a stunning area to explore. Definitely worth the effort. If you like riding a bit of dirt, wait for a few episodes there is a fun way to get over there from Dunedin along a lot of dirt trails.
@@freewayproject ohh can’t wait to see!! Love doing dirt trails! Epic. Really could imagine you having a show with Amazon or Netflix doing these rides. They really are such great videos. Keep it up mate ✊
Awesome content again Joe
I have a down filled quilt wish I had found out about these earlier, it's made in Tassie and works well below zero in the AU desert.
The quaility of your picture's is quite stunning, keep them coming.
Yes I rate those quilt, so much more comfortable than a tradition sleeping bag.
There is a boat tour at milford sound, which I can highly recommend. Would have been great for taking pictures of waterfalls and sea lions. Other than that, this series continues to be as epic as the landscape. Good thing no one saw you dropping that borrowed bike :D. Just saw that there is a new trip coming up. Have fun on that one as well. Stay safe and dry.
I bet it would have been awesome. My budget was so tight (hence free camping and eating tin food) I wasn't able to do anything like that on this journey, but luckily there were so many amazing places to explore from the roads and trails.
Great photos,🤘
Thanks mate.
A testament to your coolness is posting a scene where you dropped the bike due to a momentary lack of focus. Most anyone else would let their ego and pride get in the way and delete it. Two thumbs up, mate.
I nearly didn't add it as I thought who would want to see someone drop a bike, but then I thought if people are new to doing this or want to do start riding, it might be a reminder to always be altered and stop before you get to tired.
Thanks for the continued support and I hope you are enjoying the series.
Did Milford sound last time I was in NZ.
Never disappoints.
I was waiting for you to film the mountain parrots when you got to the Homer tunnel.
Yes definitely didn't disappoint. Oh bummer I didn't see any mountain parrots. I just googled them "KIA" they look more rugged than a normal parrot.
@@freewayproject They are real characters and very inquizitive, also thieves and vandals :)
@@Dug6666666 haha, so keep vigilant around them
Great video mate, very well made
thanks Daniel, great to hear you enjoyed it.
Aww man, you should have taken one of the cruises around Milford Sound... well worth it and you got a bluebird day too!!! 3rd trip to South Island last Easter with the family and we drove to Milford Sound in a zippy little Yaris but was always saying to the family I wished I had a bike! You've inspired me to come back on 2 wheels!
Definitely work riding in there on 2 wheels, it is a magical place to ride through.
I just bought my first bike and it's a Duel sport and stumbled on ur vids and really inspiring me to go on adventures once iv gain some more driving experience
Thanks awesome mate. Yes try to get time on the bike on the dirt, if you can handle the rougher stuff it makes the trips a lot easier and a lot more fun. Enjoy the journey.
Love watching ur adventures and the next will be so at my ❤ as my son lives in queenstown and I’m hoping to visiting next year
Great to hear you are enjoying the series Lynette. Yes Queenstown is an incredible place to explore.
Hello Joe, wow what an incredible ride here in this episode, the one day u be proactive and put on a rain suit and no rain, you know the old saying in this country is, there are bikers who never dropped their bikes and their bikers that will drop their bikes, I’m no exception. Anyway look forward to your next video, seems you have the same problem in that part of the world as we do here, over crowding, guess the best thing about two wheels versus 4, nowadays here it’s about reservations, one of the tallest motor roads is mount Evans, just a simple ride to the top, reservations, you want to take a crap, reservations, I guess we try hard to get to these roads less traveled, anyway love this country u r traveling through, stay safe, see u on the next one buddy. Hang in there. Rob U.S.
Thanks Rob, great to hear you enjoyed it. Yes the area around Milford Sound is truly incredible. Yes we have to keep searching and exploring to find the road less traveled.
Love the content, mate! Can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. Binged the series the past few days, really thought you had at least a few hundred thousand subs. Everything just feels so natural and professional.
Finally convinced me to get an ADV bike. Hopefully I’ll pick up an Africa Twin tomorrow!
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series. Awesome you'll have a ball on an Africa Twin.
This series of yours has been my first introduction to your channel and all I can say is I wish I found it sooner! Your videos are soo educational, inspiring and peaceful to watch! Thank you so much for doing what you do! I wish to travel on a motorbike like you are doing!!!
Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. I can only imagine the epic places you could explore in South Africa and north up the continent, it's probably more like the ride I did around Australia in the previous couple of series as the latitude's are similar. Just remember to enjoy the process of learning every step of the way, that's where the fun is when riding a bike not the destination.
@@freewayproject always a pleasure!! I definitely need to watch that series you made around Australia! Yeah I am lucky to live in Cape Town which has some of the best riding in SA! To ride up north in Africa is definitely a bucket list item and I will do it one day! Keep well and safe! And I’m looking forward to the new videos💪💪
Those slow motion laydown's are not fun, especially in stinky water. Great episode! Really enjoyed it. The lady and I are heading out tomorrow for a two week tour from Cape Town to Namibia (lots of stops and camping in between) then back to Cape Town 2nd June - might edit a video for this one (thanks for the inspiration). Safe travels further, looking forward to the next video!
Thanks mate, it great to hear you enjoyed that one.
Oh wow Namibia and the sand dune on the coast looks epic. Oh and the wave that breaks on the Skeleton Coast is mind-blowing when the swell is right.
yes make a video of what's out there, I'd love to see it.
So very beautiful.
Riding in was like riding into a film set, it just didn't seem real, hard to capture on a camera.
You were so lucky with the weather at Milford. It rains there a *lot*. A great ride in (probably better than the destination). One magic spot I've been to a couple of times is called "Key Summit" on that road. Lots of great photos at the end too! Looking forward to next week - looks like you're going to skippers. Cheers,
I can see with all the high mountains around it would create its own climate. Glad i got a good day then, truly stunning.
Yep Skippers is next.
Not the warmest of biking weather Joe but what a stunning place to ride and the bike seems to handling it all in its stride so looking forward to your next video at least we starting to get some better biking weather over here in the uk 🏍️👍
Thanks Alan, it is great to hear that you are still enjoying the series. It has been a little cold in the early morning but not cold enough to stop me. But during the day it is a perfect temperature to be riding.
Great to hear the weather has turn there and you can get out amongst it.
Well you are a true adventure cinematographer, taking all that time to set up the perfect shot about navigating a big puddle and then the crash happens. That is one of the things I admire about you, you show the good and the bad. At least your cameras stayed dry. Beautiful video as always. Glad you didn't get hurt, stay safe.
Just a bit tired after a big day and not concentrating fully haha. I wasn't going to put it in but it's all part of the journey. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@freewayproject I enjoy your honesty, it is very refreshing in the world of the moment.
I have my exams going on and decided to watch something to freshen up, and sir let me tell you your videos are best!!! I was so relaxed and the way you take us through the video it feels like being at present. Please keep creating and exploring. Once again love your videos❤️.
It great you hear you are enjoying the series. I hope your exams go well.
Epic!👍
thanks mate, great to hear you enjoyed it.
Another fantastic video!
I realise you would be travelling on a limited budget but, to me, the highlight when I went to Milford Sound was a cruise on the Sound. Absolutely breathtaking! 😊
Thanks mate, I bet the cruise would have been epic right up close to those towering walls.
@@freewayproject It certainly was! Add it to your bucket list. 🙂
How good is that drive/ride down into Milford Sound! Also my theory is if you wear your wet weather gear, it doesn’t rain. Keep up the great content. Stay upright
how good, epically good, nothing quite like riding in there.
i am doing my best to stay dry and upright, I haven't quite perfected it yet 😂
As we say, been there, done that and had a kayak on the Sound, awesome.
now that would of been a great way to explore the Sound, on a Kayak, but with my skill set I seem to be ending up in the water all the time, so maybe I'd need to have a wet suit on.
Amazing vids Joe
Thanks mate, I hope you are enjoying the new series.
Probably one of the most impressive scenery based ones you've done Joe. Te Arnau has the best glow worm cave. Even better than Waitomo if you ask me. Queenstown and Wanaka next week has me frothing :)
Thanks, great to hear you are still enjoying the series. You know what it means, when I find out I am missing all this great spots........ I am going to have to come back again for another trip, I'll add the glow worm cave to that list. Thanks for the information.
You were in my neck of the woods mate - if I had of known I would have come for a ride with you 😃👍
Well I have missed so much stuff along the way I'll definitely becoming bank again, you live in an amazing part of the world.
I've arrived late to this series and just gobbled them all in one sitting. So delicious. Thank you so much.
Great to hear you are enjoying the series, there are probably another 10 episodes still to come.
14:41: Glad nobody saw me do that... 6k views a day later lol. Great vid mate, glad you're enjoying NZ.
Great to hear you are enjoying the series, and yes I am loving exploring New Zealand.
I wasn't going to put in the lack of concentration fall, but if it reminds someone who is new to riding or wanting to start riding that you need to keep focused all the time, then I don't mind looking like an idiot.
I lived in Qtown for 14 years, sadly I only took up riding in the last year I was there, so never got a chance to do skippers on 2 wheels. Look forward to seeing it! Also, how good are the mavora lakes, one of my favourite camping spots, it's so good in summer there, though obviously a lot more busy, looks like you had the place to yourself.
Ah, and common mistake many many people make, there is only one sound in milford sound. You weren't the first, and wont be the last to pluralise it though 😉Honestly one of the best drives/rides on earth.
Mavora lake was stunning and yes an awesome place to camp, empty when I was there. Skippers Road is in another stunning area and a lot of fun.
Thanks Joe. Here's the first $20 to go towards buying your ADV Boots. A small price for me to pay for being able to share your epic work. Time for your growing audience to really say thanks. 😊
Thank you for the support Darcy, it is greatly appreciated and will go toward a pair of boots for the next journey.
What a location.. It'd be hard to take a bad photo there!
Exactly stunning place to explore and you have found my secret, I just go to epic places to take photos, make me seem like a better photographer than I am.
@@freewayproject Shhh.. it's all skill from behind the lens.
Use grocery bags or ziplock bags over your socks....Great Videos!
Thanks for the tip Ken, great to hear you enjoyed it.
The bird cinematographers don't worry me, it's the snake tent inspectors that get me down!
I didn't come across any of them.
Hey Joe, Great footage as ever. Just back from WA - no bike sadly. Did some of the south / west coast. Beaut beaches and scenery..
That whole region around Milford Sound is epic.
How is the west coast a totally different kind of beauty, I always feel so far away from everything when I am over there.
Yeah it feels miles away eh. Need some more time there
I knew this one would be epic! Didnt think id get emotional watching a RUclips video but it definitly got the heart strings going haha. Its a pity milford is so touristy, it was bad 20 years agoso if eould be terrible now.
Csnt esit for thr next installment,central otsge is where i spent a huge part of my formative years. If you wrnt to Queenstown i hope you got s chance to ride over hill i to wanaka? All the beauty of Queenstown with about a third of the touristy bs.
Anyway, great video!
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series. I'll definitely be getting to Wanaka, it might not be the direct route but sure to check it out.
Spectacular scenery, fantastic video. Looking forward to Queenstown, my favourite place on earth. Your stills are amazing!! Thanks.
Yes New Zealand keep delivering, it just keeps getting better. Queenstown is special.
I've been going to NZ all my life ,you've captured it beautifully.
Always more to see.
Exceptional stills as always.
Thanks Noel, yes som much to see I know I am missing a lot of things on this trip, oh well I'll just have to come back again and again.
Rode to Milford sound from Invercargill on my 50cc AC Suzuki while on a school holiday back when it was all gravel up to the Homer tunnel. Great trip never forget it.
Now right there Michael, that sounds like it would have been an epic adventure on that bike and when it was gravel, super cool.
I have been to New Zealand and queens-town too by train. But spent a whole year working on a sheep farm And never got to see the Milford sound.
It is an amazing ride in, definitely worth it if you get the chance in the future.
Another epic episode in this series, and what a bonus to capture that dip in the puddle. So glad you kept that in. 🙂
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't going to put it in, but it's what happened. It was a big day and I was tired and not concentrating haha.
Magical
the region definitely is that, magic.
Another cracking episode. Scenery is phenomenal and your photography and videography is on point.
Thanks for showing the barn - you know I salivated when I saw that.
Bring on the next one.
👍🏻
Yep that was put in for you. That region is mind-blowing.
such a stunning place mate n your just cruising along soaking it all in think i need to slow down a bit and do the same hope ya well bro cheers
Yes it is an incredible region.
When I am traveling it is definitely at a slower pace, rushing just means it over faster, and if I want to go fast I have a dirt bike for that.
Joe I can only imagine what you saw with your own eyes rather than the GoPro...
The Road into Milford Sound looks sooooo Incredible! WOW
Yes it is hard to describe a capture, it is an amazing place. I hope you enjoyed it.
I don't use a GoPro as the image on them is even worse, this was shot with a DJI Osmo Action.
Cheers, Jabbar from Canada
Thanks mate, hope you are enjoying the series. I have been fortunate to ride the dirt trails in BC Canada, I'd really like to explore the whole country on a motorbike in the future, It would be a real adventure.
Once again nailed it Joe..lucky enough to have been to Milford Sound and it is stunning
Thanks Mark, great to hear you are still enjoying the series. yes it hard to describe the place.
M8- Mavora lakes is one of my favorite destinations 😊 you should see the views further up at boundary hut
It is an amazing spot, well there is another reason to return (I know I have l barely scratched the surface) and I'd definitely revisit here so Boundary hut it is next time.
Thanks Joe 😊
You are welcome Hein, great to hear you enjoyed it.
Just two words Joe, EPIC and WOW 👌 🏞 💙
It is a stunning magical place to ride through and the lake wasn't bad either.
While my family isn’t from Fiordland they are from the next Provence, ‘Southland ❤’ I love the place. I was born in Sydney but feel more at home in a Swanndri hunting in the bush and over scree. Certainly more at home than in this putrid hole. There is an artist (icon) who captured the essence, his name is Peter Beadle (vale).
Yes it is an amazing region, stunning everywhere. I'll check him out.
You are a man of my ilk. More power and plaudits to you.
Born In Southland great RRRRIVERS
Looks like that ride into Milford Sound is on the bucket list. Thanks for another brilliant video!
Definitely worth putting on the list, hard to capture it on a camera. Great to hear you enjoyed it.
I think if you transcribed the whole trip, the word ‘stunning’ will dominate over everything else. New Zealand landscape continuously fails to disappoint each and every episode. It’s just mind blowing, and you can understand why Peter Jackson chose it as the setting for Lord of the Rings.
you are 100% ride there, no matter where you turn it is stunning. Yes I beat the initial location scout for the film was like oh we can do it all in one place.
@@freewayproject do you know the film Oblivion? It’s a Tom Cruise sci-fi film so may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of the scenic footage was shot in Iceland, and like New Zealand, the landscapes are just epic, but in a very different way. Since the launch of the Himalayan 452 I’ve noticed quite a few of the 411 version coming up for sale, some at good prices, and I was wondering about what differences you’ve noticed between your one and the Scram?, especially with respect to the windscreen whilst wearing a helmet with a peak visor? Do you find you get more or less turbulence with or without a windshield? Cheers Joe!
@@peakrider4886 I have not had any issue with turbulence with out the windscreen, I have not had any really strong windy days, but in normal conditions no issue. I'll do a review of the Scram at the end of the series, like i have done with the Himalayan
@@freewayproject excellent, thanks Joe, will look forward to that one. And I must say, your interaction with the comments is simply fantastic! I don’t know what time it is exactly where you are, but you always reply back to posts which you don’t always get with other YT creators. I’m sure as your channel grows it will become more difficult to answer everyone, so well done and onwards to the next adventure!
Great episode Joe. Your photos are amazing.
Thanks Ali, great to hear you are enjoying the series.
It’s crazy mate the sound I rode that way myself in 2018 I think 🤔, I reckon the mountains going in looks like that movie Avatar. Yes I just went in and out as well .
Yes definitely something you need to see to really get an understanding. Yes very Avatar looking.
Joe, your videos are true therapy. Calm, composed and totally immersive.
I feel so good watching these videos and its truly inspirational.
Makes me wanna explore the outdoors more on my Interceptor 650 😅🙌🏻
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series, definitely get out there at every chance, begin out there is calming and a whole world to immerse into .
Hey Joe (hehe_ ) I´m from Brazil and I´ve ridden on the same roads back in 2009 when I was just a teenager studying english in NZ. Now I´m a motorcycle adventure lover and your videos have been giving me a lot of feelings like nostalgia and that impulse to grab my bike and travel, all at the same time. I remember the astonishment of a teenager seeing these surreal sights, the excitement of doing it with friends, the joy, all of that. So thank you.This video put tears of joy in my eyes. Amazing work!!
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series and it brings good memories back. Yes it is surreal a lot of the sights here.
Epic! Great stuff - makes me want to go!
thanks mate, it is definitely worth going, so so good, hard to get across on camera.
Way to go Joe! Thanks for taking us along.😎
You are welcome Cody, great to hear you enjoyed this episode.
Don’t stop, Brotha.
Thank you for the support Andy, it is greatly appreciated and will go toward the next journey.
Totally Epic views and scenery Joe thanks
So true you have to stay alert all the time when riding good to see you are all okay
What a great series so far nice work
Thanks
Dave
Great the hear you are still enjoying the series Dave.
Yes I am glad I had the brain fade in a place where I wouldn't do any damage, but reminds me to stop when tired..
❤❤❤
hope you enjoyed it
Stunning !!!
yes it is an amazing place to explore.
gobsmacking, thanks for sharing Joe.
It is an amazing area to ride into, and the lake wasn't bad either.
I have seen Milford Sound from cruise ship on a misty rainy day, still awesome. If I ever go again, it would be doing it on a push bike.
I past a few people riding in there, there are so many places to explore just on the ride in, definitely worth the effort.
Thanks!
Thank you for the support, it is greatly appreciated and will go toward the next journey.
Always a pleasure to watch your travels Joe, thank you! Have you considered some seal skinz waterproof socks and carrying a length of washing line to hang anything wet from between trees?
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the series. Right now I have to use what I have, then I'll try work out some solutions from all the great information like yours ( seal skinz waterproof socks ) and others, then hopefully save enough to get it before the next journey.
I actually do have cord with me, but haven't used it yet.
Epic. Thanks for sharing Joe
Great to hear you enjoyed it. Milford Sound is an amazing part of the world.
Cinematic!
It is a spectacular region. I hope you are enjoying the series.
No ride complete without bike drop😂😂❤
😂😂 yes you are right, I do it a lot more but this time the camera happened to be on.
