    Beautiful as always, Joe. And you'll relax more about tyre changing once you've done a few dozen! Top tip just in case you didn't already know, try to put the new tyre some place warm while you're removing the old one. In the sun, under an electric blanket, on the bonnet of a car, whatever. Warm tyres are softer and much easier to fit. Have fun and ride safe!

    • @freewayproject
      @freewayproject  Год назад +1

      Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Yer I’ve changed the tyres on this bike 4 or five times (pinch the tube once 🤦🏼‍♂️) . Thanks for the tip, I didn’t know that but it does make sense, I’ll try it next time. Thanks mate

    Absolutely fabulous! Each episode gets better and better. That intro was soooo cool. Perfect sync on the letters. Kudos. Please please make the drone shots longer. They are so good, I'm sure you can pull another 2-5 seconds out of them. The outro photos were fantastic too. Great selection. I've been moving house these last three weeks, so no motorbike riding except transferring them (3!) from one house to the other, but watching this video has pulled me out of the doldrums. Thanks so much.

      I am using a DJI Osmo Action for filming when on the bike (from the helmet) otherwise I using a Sony A7SIII. I am taking photos with a Sony A7RIII, I only have room for 2 lenses Sony GM 24mm 1.4 and Sony GM 70mm - 200mm 2.8. I also have an old DJI Mavic Pro drone.
      The blurry background comes from the large camera sensory and the lens having a wide aperture (which is indicated by the low number of 1.4) hope that helps

    Lovely. So how long did the tire replacement take? You mentioned it could be 15 minutes or 3 hours. You seemed to finish at night. So was it close to 3 hours? Amazing still pics at the end. With this much flat land, you must get some strong winds from time to time, eh?

      Getting the wheel off the bike, taking the tyre off the rim, swiping the tube get the tyre back on the rim then the wheel back on the bike was about 25 - 30mins, I waited a couple hours for the glue to dry on the patch on the tube I repaired so that was the reason I finished in the dark.
      Yes if the next couple of episode I have to deal with very strong headwinds forcing me to change where I camped as I needed protection from the wind.

    • @freewayproject
      @freewayproject  Год назад

      yes there was a bit of tread left even though it was on the wear indicator. But the next town with any help if I screwed it up or had a major tyre issue out there was Norseman which was over 1100km away. Also might find some dirt tracks I want to explore and there was no real grip left on it. So yes I could get a bit more life out of the tyre on the road but the risk reward out there, I choose to play it safe.

    • @freewayproject
      @freewayproject  8 месяцев назад

      Hi Jimmy, I got my Himi second hand as it is all I could afford, so it maybe sometime before I can get a second hand 450. But the 450 looks like they have improved it in just about every way, 6th gear will help, the better suspension will help get through the rough stuff quicker and easier, (with the 411 I have to slow it up a bit, it will still do it but the suspension throughs you around if you go too fast). The power will help when the bike has all the extra weight with gear. It will be interesting to see the torque difference at the same point in the rev range, the peak torque on the 411 is low, in the 450 it is quoted at a lot higher rev so I would like to know at the low end what the torque is on the 450 to compare (I still think it will be an improvement). I'f like to try one, if I had the cash and the test went well then probably.

    My girlfriend Deb says you have a good last name, she's a Ryan as well. Beautiful camera work. I got into a hotel just ten minutes before a storm hit on my trip. Later, after leaving a stormy Georgia, I dried my tent and sleeping bag at another hotel, but I can't remember which state just now..... 🤔 Fortunately, a tire change was not required. How did you maintain the tire balance?

    • @freewayproject
      @freewayproject  Год назад

      Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. ahhh the Ryan, a bit of Irish heritage doted in all parts of the world 😂.
      Making it by 10min is well timed 👌🏻.
      To balance if I had weights to attach, I put the axle back in then find somewhere to prop it up one side, hold the other and spin it, the heavy side will settle at the bottom so I make the top and attach weight to that spot, repeat that until it's balanced. But sometime I have to go with out if I don't have weights with me.

      @terrycavender Год назад

      @@freewayproject she's a Canadian Ryan, so yes, the Irish did get around a bit. 🤣 As for the wheel, I was wondering if you might have weights with you for the eventual tire change. I would have used the same method as you, and have before when services were not available. That said, I prefer using a service, changing a tire is a PITA! Mine is a bit worn, I think..... 🤔 I was surprised to find there are no wear bars on the stock RE tires.

    Do you ever come across another aussie rider on a HD on those off road tracks who always drops it and makes a whole video about lifting the bike?

      No, I haven't come across anyone on any of the dirt tracks on a motorbike and definitely no other person filming.
