  • After receiving a few messages as to why I haven't uploaded any adventure or dual sport motorcycle content recently, I thought I'd address the question on whether I have quite adventure riding.

      @AusMoto I am taking the F900 GSA and the 1300 GSA out for a 2 day ride review soon. Looking forward to it. Just released a video on the 1300 GSA (clutchles version) not too long ago. Was pleasantly surprised with the Handling!
      We should colab sometime .

    You do what you want to do, Josh. If people like what you do and tune it, good. If not, doesn't matter. Bikes will always be in your blood, and adventure is in there also. Your channel will grow either way. Cheers mate 🍻

    I'm stoked for that bike restoration! It's one of my biggest hobbies, and because I currently can't ride due to an injury, I'm trying to do as much of it as I can. Currently working on a 1990 Honda NX650 and some old KTM mopeds from the '80s.

    After my cape york ride (only 3000km) in October 24 I never went near my bike for 8 weeks and still haven't ridden much, not even my Beta 300rr. I did a lot of research on my next adventure possibilities. I am getting keen to adventure again now. By the way, your simpson desert episode's were awesome 👌 and is now definitely on my bucket list.7

    • @AusMoto

    I, and probably many others, know exactly how you feel. The high and LOW is real and after a big trip like that, just riding around local is quite boring. I plan a 2 week trip every year and how I deal with it is: I start planning my next trip on the way home from the current one. I consider the local rides and dirt bike rides as practice for the next ride. I'm counting the months to my next big ride in July. Just do what makes you happy bud, we will be here.

    • @AusMoto
      @AusMoto  Месяц назад

      Yeah, a lot of people have chimed in and said the same thing. I reckon you're right about the planning bit as well, having that to look forward to can make a big difference and that's probably why this stretch of not being motivated as lasted longer as I haven't had a trip planned. Thanks for the comment, Dave, I look forward to hearing about your big ride in July!

    Hey Josh; OK you need a break from the ADV rides on the 250...Considering your body injuries etc Perhaps it's the time to change bikes. There are Adv Bikes that can allow you to sit up more, allow you to have some fun and be comfortable; Honda Transalp 750, Suzuki V-Strom 800 etc...good secondhand bikes you can buy; You need a break to recover and its YOUR Channel so do what makes you happy; We are simply along the journey with you and if some leave that is their choice. Happy New Year, its a new year and time for some change... David....Adelaide....Triumph Scramblers 1200x and 900.....

    • @AusMoto
      @AusMoto  Месяц назад

      Thank you David and you may be right about the bike, if I had a more comfy, larger ADV bike, I’d be less tempted to tackle the tough stuff and would have been back on the bike sooner!
      Appreciate the support as always and a happy new year to you!
