    I’m loving this series. Two quite different bikes and probably the best advertisement I’ve seen for the CRF. Quality riding by both of you too, a pleasure to watch. Good job with your editing too: easy to watch and enjoy.

      Thanks mate. You're right, I think it shows how versatile and capable the CRF300 is... especially keeping company with the big 990 all trip. and, thanks for your nice comment about the editing. I'm still new at the whole filming/editing game but trying to improve little by little with each one. I appreciate the feedback.

    The yellow flowers either side of the emu track were probably monster sized caltrop. horrible noxious weeds. Fantastic memories & can't wait to return.

    Great series Sean. You must have to carry lots of fuel everywhere, just in case your planned route is closed, and you have to double back a couple of hundred ks.

    • @ShonkyProductions
      @ShonkyProductions  2 года назад

      Yes, I was very cautious with all the road closures and tried to always have some in the fuel bladder... Just in case.

    @427walrus 2 года назад +2

    Well done Sir. You have shown that the 300 is the little engine that could. One question, how have you had enough Internet signal over the trip to post all of the videos? Most of the journey seemed so remote. Are there cell towers out in the desert? Thanks and great series. Looking forward to the recap once you are home. 👍

    • @ShonkyProductions
      @ShonkyProductions  2 года назад +2

      Thanks mate, and good question.
      I transfer and sort the days videos on a laptop each night. I also try to get some editing done late at night or in the early mornings before Dave wakes up (He likes his beauty sleep), he's become accustomed to watching the previous days ride as an episode when he wakes up!
      A few of the towns we stay at overnight have mobile coverage, and luckily Dave has a good/fast mobile plan on his phone that I exploit. If not, we wait for the next big town and I upload an episode then. It's a bit of a challenge to get that all done around riding and sleeping, but it's been an enjoyable challenge.
