Great video, I appreciate the work you put in to produce this, editing, etc. I'm just up the road from you in Port Mac. Would be great to catch up one day. I'm new to the area coming from Vic and definitely need GPS. Looking at one of these units for the Africa twin.
very nice way to start the year Markus! Really enjoyed the aerial shots and the garmin update. everybody has to practice picking up their bike well done it looked bloody hot and heavy!!
Since you started new with the Garmin Zumo XT2, and are now used to it, how would you suggest uploading trips from the track recorder to a PC? I've found the GPS stores all tracks in a single (huge) GPX file, and sometimes a single trip on the track recorder is sometimes broken up into numerous separate tracks in the GPX file. Thanks!
@@johnburgess2084 good question ive not recordered many trips i usually plan the trip and not record but in saying that i did record this trip to test how i can transfer etc but i havnt done it as yet
Great video. Nice scenery with you and jealous of the heat (I’m in a cold, damp London). Felt for you lifting the bike. I’ve gone for a 690 for 55kg less although less comfort too I guess. My next purchase is an XT2. Looks good.
Thanks for watching ian you wont be disappointed in the xt2 for us dirt toad users its gold .Stick around for tge next upload off to a ghost town next month
@@throttleridingadventures Love the countryside so I’ll look out for the next one. The XT2 will be procured. Its first outing will be in the US in May for a 4,000 mile ride over three weeks with an old buddy who lives there. He’s got the comfort of a Tiger 900 but it’s a heavy thing. He’s got height and weight on his side. I’m just north of 70kg and in dire need of some training both fitness and riding. We’re aiming to post our trip so I’ll give the XT and 690 a review as we go. Cheers, Ian
@@ianross225 tag me when you upload ide love to see it ...i loved my tiger 800 had it for 5 years it was awsome sold it to finish our new home i built at the time stay safe and keep uprith on your ride
@@throttleridingadventures I don’t like the vibration from the odd crank phasing. The earlier triples were 120 degree and smooth. Also a bit top heavy for me but, of course, age plays its part. Absolutely will do!

Did you say those were BATS!?? They are huge if so. Hey I have the standard XT and love it. Very reliable. I think the best thing is it doesn't leach off the battery. On my T7 I wired it straight to the battery just to see what would happen. I left it on the mount for 2 weeks and never started the bike. When I finally went out to start the bike, it fired up no problem. That proved to me that the GARMIN wouldn't drain my battery if left on the mount when hot wired.
@@throttleridingadventures 😳yeah they are huge. No problem, i know the KTM comes with a switched set of wires, which is what I used on my 1290 SA-R. Too many electronics to mess with on that bike so I figured it was safer on the T7 to experiment with.
Had a shocker of a day i must of hit camera mode instead of vid i didnt get most of the ride from gresford to lostock ....drones conroller froz then turned off in flight
@@throttleridingadventures I'm sure that was a nervous moment. I went out yesterday with my two batteries near empty 🙄. At least I got to capture the real reaction of the new ECU.
Wasn’t there a young fella (quite a handsome young chap) around the campfire a few videos ago with a chin mount GoPro? Thought you mocked him for the idea of it being more stable… perhaps like a natural gimbal hmmm. If that big 790 is too much I’ll swap you for my 390 mate, bit easier to pick up and little lower too.
Lol or longer legs road cambered off on left .....ive been looking at the 701 and 690 now for about 12months having trouble cutting the cord to the 790 i just love the thing ..when its time to let go the 690 or 701 will be the next bike a 701 came up recently it had all the trimings on it if it was closer i would of taken it for a spin 100% and 790 would be retired cheers for watching
@@throttleridingadventures i am 60 years with short legs just brought a new 690 and got it professionally lowered waiting for my Lynx fairing to arrive which will make it alot better on longer trips,
Thx for the ride!
@@aarem01 thanks for coming along lots more to come

These things happen to everyone. As long as nobody gets hurt everything is fine. Stay strong, ride on!

Lovely video mate, I have subscribed.

@@gpatton999 xt2 mate
Great video 😀
Great shot over the bridge 👍
Bloody nice run mate, never knew about that bridge, very keen to check that out! How deep was the water crossing?
800mm or so in the middle outer edge 300 to 400mm ....was very cool
@@throttleridingadventures Nice!!! I'll have to go check that out in due course!
Worth the look 100% awsome ride that loop
Man down! It happens to the best of us.
Did you cut out the full send through the creek? 😅
Some nice drone shots 👍
