Nice work Steve, glad the Ducatti rider was ok and the bike relatively unscathed. RE: side stand sensor - I fitted a bracket (Rottweiler) on my 890 Adv to relocate the side stand sensor up on the engine near the Arrow mid pipe. Alternatively with the OEM cat converter in place the bracket/ sensor can be re-mounted away from the side stand to stop the engine cut outs on jumps you're experiencing - simple fix. RE: Arrow mid-pipe - it's like a new bike with the cat converter replaced - my left leg no longer cooked by heat, improved throttle response, and a nice note from the (stock) pipe. There's still some heat from the engine for sure, but I run a carbon fibre heat shield (P3) to protect the shock from heat, which also helps reduce the heat on legs issue. Ride safe mate, happy travels.
Awesome ride. 👍 I’m glad the riders that had off seem to be in good shape after shaking it off. You caught some great water crossing footage! 📸 It’s a shame about the road but like you said good at the same time. On my family’s farm, before it was paved, my Dad would have a guy put down oil on the part that went by the house because it would choke us out when it was dry. EPA would have none of that these days.
It’s crazy to think that putting oil on the ground would cause global warming, covid and monkey pox. But what would I know, I thought it came from the ground. We used to do the same with fence posts, termites must be environmentalist as well, they don’t like it either. 🤷♂️
As a now older guy , who fondly remembers doing it all in the bush on a 84 IT 200 L weighing about 107kg wet from memory …can’t believe the guys like you riding the heavy new style adventure bikes through such challenging terrain . Part of me says “what are you all thinking “ the other.. yeah I can see it , power sliding a powerful heavy beast , and crashing through a river crossing on a bike with a windscreen and luggage …cool I guess😊
Big bikes are better for the longer rides and greater distances which generally require luggage. It would be great to ride a 200-500cc bike everywhere. Every ride across varying terrain is a compromise.
@@BigBikeAdventures - RUclips can be very frustrating. I had this happen once. Only way I found to fix it was republish - which is a bugger as you lose all the previous views etc.
So glad no one was seriously injured this time.

Thanks mate.
Cat delete coming next, not sure I’ll worry about the side stand sensor, probably use the 701 for the jumpy stuff from now on.
@@BigBikeAdventures love the 701. Unfortunately I have only 1 bike, so I go all out to cover the bases.
Awesome ride. 👍

@@BigBikeAdventures You hit it on the head, it’s a crazy world.

Great vid Steve, does YT throttle the uploads to 480 res as it seemed a bit blurry.
Not sure what happened this time mate. Same render specs as everything else. 🤷♂️
That’ll learn ya.
Has this vid only published at 480p?
Same render setting as all the rest in this series. Weird. 🤷♂️

It's a crack bar now.
😂😂 very good!!
Hectic
It seems like every time you go for a ride some one comes off
Tell me about it, I’m getting reputation. 😂😂😂
Seems to be stuck on 480p? I waited overnight but still the same
Weird. It was a 1080 render as usual. Just checked my TV as well and it’s the same. NFI 🤷♂️
