- Join Mongrel Dog Productions as he travels thru the Australian Outback (again) on his way to the Off Centre Rally (OCR) at Mt Dare in South Australia and then join a supported group ride for 11 days thru Australia’s Red Centre. The journey even included a 4 day layover while waiting for a replacement fuel tank after the tank split in the middle of nowhere.
We even got Busted by the Outback COPS.
Group ride organsised by Moto Trekkin.
three cheers to safari fuel tanks.. can't beat that for customer service. top video mate.
Hi SD, yep, cant praise Safari Tanks highly enough. Glad you like the vid...thanks for watching
I tell ya what. Ole matey with the bent shock.
He needs a new shock and a new pair of jocks. Serious skid-mark moment that one.
Hi Peter T, lol...a lesser Rider may have lost it and come to grief but like a real pro, he rode it to the end. Pity I didn’t have the camera rolling. Thanks for watching.
Lol given a blessing by the police to travel, sounds like Australia to me
You need a permit to travel through Aboriginal owned lands. It's private property.
@@BalefulBunyip They have certain rights over their properties but not private ownership.
Another great video. The music montage - The Distance - would be great as a stand alone / intro clip on your channel.
What a fabulous way to learn about outback riding, vicariously! Love your productions, many thanks!
Hi John, glad you like the Channel content. Thanks for watching.
Breaking the law in the Outback, listening to CAKE, riding underground and charming the ladies...doesn't get much better than that. Makes me want to blow my digiridoo. Awesome video.
Hi Andy Black, hahaha....sounds like I’ve ticked all the boxes. Glad you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
He Black Fella, you play Didge you pay big money, - PERMIT APRA fees, and copyright laws apply, you no make black fella sound - OK !!
That’s what you call “cops with common sense” good on the cops👍👍
Hi V Kirisome, yeah, he was pretty cool about the whole thing. If we were runnin’ drugs it might have been a different story lol. Thanks for watching.
should not be asking full stop
@@mac9954 Should not be asking what? You make no sense. If you mean the cops should not be asking, it’s Aboriginal land, private property, cops given permission to come on and enforce this, stop drug runs, alcohol suppliers etc. Cops did a great job here. Should be more of them!
Enjoyed that. Your really do some serious distances !
Thanks for the journey.
Thanks....glad you like the vid.
Keep chewing gum handy, it fixes petrol and diesel leaks, sometimes permanently, fruit pastels work as well, I know I know, I thought it was bogus too until I tried it.
That was policemen on the track not officers at that point in time, which is handy.
Glad you got everything fixed m8, thanks for posting.
Hi John Doe, where I was going I needed more then just a temporary repair...I needed a permanent fix. I am aware that soap also may stop leaks. Thanks for watching.
@@mongreldogproductions you are most welcome, take care out there, cheers.😉👍
Yes soap does work , a rock punctured my car fuel tank years ago . It was a big hole as I had my thumb over the hole and fuel was still leaking out , 2 cakes of soap sealed the hole . Fortunate we were on holiday otherwise we wouldn't have had soap with us . It lasted for the rest of our journey (400kms approx) although I did need to replace 2 fuel filters to get home . Great emergency fix though to get you out of trouble . Awesome videos too Steve , very interesting adventures , cheers 👍🍺
@@petewielsma423 yup, just goes to show.
Oh and whilst in here, you can use super glue and bicarb to stick stuff like plastic, bridge gaps and the like.
Thanks.😉👍
All handy tips n tricks to get you mobile again ay 👍 I've used that putty type metal (think it's called Need It) to seal up a thermostat housing too , got me home 👍 cheers
The team at safari tanks are awesome, helped me out in the past!
Yes....deserve all the praise they get. Very helpful and accomodating.
Great Vid. Love the Cake, “Going the Distance” video clip you put together:) perfect 👌
Thanks Det...glad you like the vid.
Love your stuff, just did great central and around 4 months camping, around 24 thousand clicks big country outstanding landscape will be back west oz is amazing and lots of other places keep up the good work from Tassie over and out .
Another great vid. I was lucky enough to visit oz in my 20’s while out backpacking. Your vids are putting Australia right back on my list for a future motorcycle trip.
Hi GS Mad, glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching.
What an amazing country Australia is,it has for the past 60yrs or so fascinated me.I watched a wonderful film recently on english tv about the GAN railway journey from south to north passing through Alice,incredible.God if were younger I would love to drive the perimeter of that great country,and the outback people are so down to earth.
Hi Peter, we are blessed to live in a country as wonderful as Australia. We have the lot...deserts, rainforests, beaches, snow, jungle and much more. All without needing a Passport. Glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching.
WOW.... big ups to Safari Tanks - above and beyond. Great Effort.
Hi Jarrad Nash, couldn’t agree more. They really looked after me with the new tank. Thanks for watching.
Nice trip info. I’ve added a couple of your stops to my list of places to visit.
Stay safe, and cheers. 😎
Hi BD, thanks for the positive comments. Glad you like the vid.
Another great watch.. You always come up with a interesting scenarios. Busted shock!!.. Out of water!!
Just watched your recent 'Teaser'.....you've not been idle either. Looking forward to the final product.
Thanks for showing us Amazing Australia your way! Being so far, you make it feel so near! Greetings from Norway!
Hello Helder, glad you enjoyed the journey. Thanks for watching.
Deff's an outback junkie, good compilation of tracks n trips ,goodluck for all your future adventures, Straya, gotta love it aye !!!!
Hi GN, yeah, gotta love Australia. So much to do; so little time. Thanks for watching.
Great upload and love the way you guys just get on and do it.
Mount Augustus is a lot bigger above ground than Uluru! You can walk around Uluru in 3 hours. It would take 2 days to walk around mount Augustus! Worth a trip if you haven't been there!
Hi Genrules, i have walked up Mt Augustus but not walked around it. Maybe it is the fact that Uluru is surrounded by flat, featureless terrain that it looks so big. Thanks for watching.
I have not had the pleasure of seeing Mount Augustus but by all accounts it is 2 and a half times bigger that Ularu which is a magical place.
Love your adventure mate, keep sharing and enjoy all of them, cheers 🍻
Hi Mile's, glad you like the Channel content...thanks for watching.
Looked like a fabulous ride with some decent characters thrown in the mix!
Apart from the few dramas you had, but that is all part of the experience!
Safe riding and happy adventures for the future.
Hi EAT, yeah, it would be an Adventure if everything went according to plan. Glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching.
Hi Steve. Great video. Will be watching all of them when I can.
Hi Matt, see what you've been missin' out on all this time. Welcome to the fold. Glad you like the vid.
2:30 that old land cruiser didn’t have a uneventful day, lost the back wheel. Lol looks fun!.
Nah, just another day in the Australian Outback. Thanks for watching.
Excellent work on these videos thanks for posting
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I was born in Australia but only lived there until I was 9. It's great to see what a part of home looks like. Great video! Good on ya mate 🤙
Hi Chad T, glad you like the vid...thanks for watching.
Great filming, great country. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Hi David John, glad you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed the video and had me wishing I was "out there somewhere" right now. I've subscribed to watch more later. Thanks for sharing
Hi Mark, welcome to the Channel. I hope you enjoy the journey. Thanks for watching.
It's Australia, we should be able to go where we please, BUT "pigs are more equal" from Animal Farm by George Orwell seem to apply.
Bloody awesome adventure mate! Good on ya.
Hi C’est Moi, glad you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
Great video & thanks for sharing! You have quite the adventure when you go riding 👍👍 (edit: the music video was hilarious!! more, please 👍)
Hi SA, usually, everything goes according to plan, until you leave your driveway. After that, you no longer have control. I’m glad you enjoyed the music. Sometimes, that can be the hardest part of editing. Everyone has their own music tastes. Thanks for watching.
Wow! A permit to drive on Australian roads.Gee its nice at home.
Hi Uwe Steinki, where’s home? Australia is going thru a ‘process’ trying to make amends with the original land owners...our Aboriginals. It’s complicated...it’s Political. Thanks for watching.
@@mongreldogproductions It is called, "pretend to make amends" by giving the country to them, then it is easier for the NWO to take over. NZ did it, but they gave it to the last conquerors, not the original land owners, after changing the history books. Fucking evil government traitors.
No you are wrong about the biggest monolith, it is mount phillip in your state.love your stuff!
Hi Peter, glad you enjoy the Channel content. Thanks for watching.
Another great video Steve, love them tracks 10/10 for Safari tanks
Hi Tim, yeah, can’t praise Safari Tanks enough. Really good back up warranty service long after the warranty period had expired. Glad you like the vid.
Good for the soul especially this time of the year, greetings from a cold foggy Blighty
As always, a great watch. Thanks for taking us along.
Hi astrobusa, glad you enjoyed the journey. Thanks for watching.
What a great video, all the places I love and wanna visit again on my KLR 👍🇦🇺
Hi Biker Bytes, glad you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Entertaining and informative and well edited. Thanks
Hi L M, no...thank you. 👍
Long time between drinks, opps i mean vids, a great watch as normal. Good to see a lot of places we did 4 years ago.
Hi Alan, I've been busy doin' other stuff. Could be a while before the next motorbiking vid. Glad you liked the vid.
Damn fine adventure mate and that's a KLR hiding under the red dust am I right? Tough beautiful country you got there. Thanks to one of my subs for putting me onto you brother.
Hi BritishBiker Philippines, welcome aboard...Suzuki DR650. Glad you like the Vid.
Love your videos a lot of areas you travel through I’ve done by 4wd would Love to do them again by bike but now living in the Philippines and 78 years old still bikeing with group here lots of fun but nothing like Australia
Hi Ian, glad you like the vid. I’m hope I’m still riding at 78! Good work…it must keep you sharp. Thanks for watching.
Very very nice.
What beautiful scenery! Makes me think of Namibia or the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Some parts could have been shot here, and you would not notice.
Keep it up, it's a real privilege to be be able to do that
Hi JS, I have a theory that Africa and Australia were once joined. We have similar climates, vegetation, resources (gold etc) and a few other things in common. Glad you like the Vid.
@@mongreldogproductions Hallo Mongrel dog
I believe in that theory as well.
I did a quite couple of adventure trips to Namibia and a lot to the Northern Cape, mostly with one friend (2 x bikes). Those trips are the most memorable highlights of my life.
I have sold my bikes and had my share of biking, but seeing your clips I realized that one could never tire of adventure trips. Not to many guys in a group. Just you and a friend.
The friendliness of the company replacing the tank reminds me of the people of Namibia, and the rural parts of South Africa.
My daughter now stays in the Northern territory, and if I may get the opportunity one day, I would love to explore those areas.
Very nice photography
@@mongreldogproductions In one word; Gondwanaland.
@@dunruden9720 thank you for this… I had to do a Google search but it all makes sense to me now.
Sweet adventures man 👍
Mount Augustus is the worlds biggest monolith.
Cheers for the videos 👌🏼
It's not. Monolith means one rock. Augustus has multiple rock types.
Great video, enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching
Uluru is the 2nd largest monolith, Mt Augustus in WA is largest.
Good job you did it when you did. Very difficult to go anywhere now with community restrictions in place now.
If you have a driving license I’d like them to try and take me to court for a permit, my understanding of an Australian citizenship or Visa includes a right to freely travel on public roads.
i was thinking that too
I found that bit a bit difficult to understand. Is a permit required to pass through tribal land I wonder?
Its good that your out there still riding having fun👍😀
Hi Keegan Fuller, hope you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
That’s ok it was awesome plus I love dirt bikes 👍😄
Nice production Mongrel
Very enjoyable to watch 👍
Hi Brad Eckford, glad you like the Vid....thanks for watching.
Great Video Steve . Love the look of the outback will get there someday :)
Don't leave it too long (although it has been there for millions of years). Thanks for watching.
Another great job Stevo! and well done Safari Tanks for outstanding customer service. Hope to be getting out to some of those areas in the not too distant future, only in the 4by from now on. What was the deal in regards to the permit?
Cheers
Davey
Hi Davey, yeah, big thumbs up to Safari Tanks. We had permits to travel Great Central Road because they are free and easy to obtain online. Permits for the APY Lands are impossible (in my experience) to obtain so why bother. Its a great road and very scenic. No fine or conviction this time...let off with a warning. I will try and apply for a permit next time but dont like my chances. I understand the desire to limit travel on those roads but dont really understand why they are so protective. Maybe its just me, maybe Im just selfish? Thanks for watching
I haven't seen a v8 pursuit interceptor special in any of your videos has max retired? Lmao 🤣
Love your vids.
Glad you enjoy the Channel content. Thanks for watching.
Yet another great vid there mate. It certainly wasn't an uneventful trip.
I dont think I've ever been on an uneventful trip. Thanks for watching. Glad you like the vid
Great video and a epic adventure, yeah a permit to use a road what a joke, but you got there had a great time with friends and knocked up a few thousand k's, heaven i say, love your work.
Hi Stewart, glad you like the vid..thanks for watching.
Good on Safari Tanks! Now that is service!
Hi Greg OnlyGreg, yes, excellent back up service by standing by their product. I can’t praise them highly enough. Thanks for watching.
@@mongreldogproductions I had the same tank fitted to my DR, loved it, and have never had a moment of trouble. Seeing the way Safari responded to your dilemma cheers me no end to see that there are still companies out there that stand by what they manufacture. Props to them, and props to you for continuing to produce quality entertainment on your channel.
Cheers mate!
That is what you call standing by your product.....If I am ever in a need for aftermarket tank Safari has to be the go.....well done
Hi PS, couldn't agree with you more...I'd recommend them highly. Thanks for watching.
Epic ride, thanks for posting
Glad you like the vid...
Great video mate. Bit of a win with the new tank. Cheers
Hi 4x4EastCoast, glad you like the Vid...thanks for watching. 👍 to Safari Tanks.
Love your vids
Hi matt, glad you like the Channel content...thanks for watching. 👍
Fantastic stuff!
Great content as always m8, thanks for taking us alone.
Hi Peter H, glad you enjoyed the journey...thanks for watching.
Permits required to drive across the land? Really disgusting that this is even enforced.
Do you think it's ok for people to just wander into your house/land when they like? Can I use your backyard as a short cut?
Someone’s back yard is different to trailing along a public road?
Really Loving your Vids. Silver Top, Dougie. :)
Hi Silver Top Enduro, glad you like the vid(s)....thanks for watching. 👍
For someone for who he still burns lol that got me laughing
As always, a great video. Pity there was no mention or footage of the trailer going up in smoke.
Yeah, it would've been attention grabbing. I was able to source some footage and photos but i chose not to include them outta respect for the organisers because he's a privateer. If it was BMW Motorrad it might have been a different story. I would've milked it for all I could. They can afford to take the hit. Thanks for watching.
well mate, you have a new fan, cheers for the great vid
Hi herb marsh, glad you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
Nice to see some DRs getting amongst it. Great old bike.
Hi Scott McLennan, I’m not sure where you are, but DR’s are very popular here in Oz for this type of work...tractors of the desert. Thanks for watching.
Mongrel Dog Productions I’m in Canberra and get around the bush a bit here, although nothing too exciting
Great videos. Have you done or could you do one on the gear you take on a trip, things like cooking and sleeping ?
Great video really enjoy it looked like fun
Cheers
Hi Jim, glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching.
Well done. Injoyed the video...
Thanks LenTheKiwi...
Good Video, I was going to the OCR and was going to look for you mate. Travelling from Dalhousie springs to mt dare I came off my bike and knocked myself out for a couple of minutes and awoke with all these people standing around me So the last bit of the ride to mount dare I did in a land cruiser, with someone else riding my DR650. I got rescued by the RFDS, the bike stayed behind the mt dare hotel.
I was looking fwd to going to Lambert center too...... don't know how I'm going to do that now that 'her indoors' has forbidden me from traveling interstate. Im still allowed to do rallies in Vic, but my wings have been severely clipped
Sorry to hear about your accident and even more sorry to hear about your wings being clipped. The conditions caught a few people out...that's why it's called Adventure Riding. Hope you heal well. Thanks for watching.
yeah no worries mate. the effects of the concussion still linger with me feeling like I am thinking in a fog. It's quite bizarre but it has been recommended that I dont ride until 'the fog lifts'
Really sorry to hear that...I can imagine how that will affect your lifestyle going forward. Your life can change in a heartbeat. We got lectured by the local copper at William Creek on the Oodnadatta Track because us blokes "are having a midlife crisis" and are a burden when it all goes pear shaped. Pity they have that mentality. I just wanna do shit that makes me realise im alive!
I have a story for you, what is your email mate Im oz_johnno_38ATyahoodotcomdotau
Great vid and awesome adventure.
Hi 02bigkev....yeah, no two days are the same. Glad you like the vid.
Great video, the outback can certainly grab hold of you and spit you out.
Hi Covelli Covelli, glad you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
Wow. Busted shock!
You can't beat Safari Tanks for warranty. My fuel cap breather pipe snapped of and I received one a couple of days later without charge.
I agree...big thumbs up from me.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Hi Danny, glad you like the vid.
Great video mate 👊🏻😊👍🏻
Glad you liked it...thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the vid mate ..... we’ll done!
Hi Dan C, thanks for watching. 👍
Brilliant vid mate. Had no idea about the geographical center of Australia.
Hi Jason Foster, I didn’t know about it (geographical centre) either until I passed the sign. Travel is good for the soul (and the knowledge). Thanks for watching.
yeh,its the centre of australia,near alice springs,.known this since 70,s,at school.you know,,education,ex brit..
Awesome work as always mate :)
Hi William Moore, glad you like the Vid.
Good work. Stay upright mate.
Hi sthnwatch, I’ll try. Thanks for watching. 👍
I recently traveled from byron bay to steep point and back just before your trip by the looks of the sign at 5:48 (as i can see my sticker!) . Before leaving i looked on the apy website and read the same thing that they don't give transit permits to 'tourist' so i didn't risk it and had to go around, i also read you couldn't go to the surveyor generals corner without an aboriginal guide at a cost $150 but it looks like that was free in your vid ... I like your little jack stand at 15:03 is that homemade cause it looks like it does the job well. Another great insightful video , cheers 4 sharing sir.
Just Tex...soooo many questions. Here goes. The stand is called an 'Enduro Stand'. Do a google search. Surveyor Generals Corner...i know people who have tried to do the right thing and organise the local guide etc, etc, etc. They get nowhere as they never get a response. My advice, just go there. The track in is not very well defined (just twin track) and there is a sign at the start of it saying 'private property and comply with permit requirements'. If you see this sign, you are at the right place. I'm not a law breaker (normally) and comply (usually) if it is a straightforward process but i also enjoy the road thru the APY Lands so much that given any opportunity, i will use it. See you out there. Thanks for watching.
I'll look the stand up. And next time i think i will just do it and see if i get a warning too hahaha . Cheers.
@@mongreldogproductions The man that owns that land Mr Mervin donates the fee to the local youth club it is PRIVATE POPERTY why would you ignore that then tell others too.THE APY lands are also closed for a purpose you need to follow the rules as they are set by the communities for very good reasons. we have been thru both areas and did get permits so it is possible.
Another great vid. I've been watching from the USA for a few years. I'm an ex-pat Aussie who's now is doing the grey nomad deal over here with my Sprinter/Winnebago RV and Africa Twin motorcycle. I've been thinking about coming back to do the loop around Oz, but you make it look like too much hard work :), so I think I'll pass on that now, getting too old for that caper. Keep the vids coming!!
Great video.
Hi Anthony, glad you like the vid...thanks for watching.
Mr, enjoy your vids
my first bike was a 1967 ss Norton, in 2013 I rode from San Fran to Miami n back 14.000 km 6 weeks on a BMW 1200 gt, now maybe I should get something lighter, tamer and with LOWER COG , maybe we could connect, whatever maybe I need another bike as well as my 2010 disco 4
Hi stuarth43.....hahaha. You must be as old as I am. Motorbike riding is great therapy and a good equaliser. Get yourself that lighter bike and extend your riding future. Glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching.
Centre of screen at 6:24 - 25, I think a matchless? I swear I’ve seen that bike, he was with 2 side car beemers at Laura QLD on my trip to the cape 7yr ago! I would put my photo of it here but I don’t know how or if I can lol if it is the same bike it’s bloody well traveled!!
Hi Simon, on the OCR's you will meet and see people and bikes from all walks of life. It would not surprise me that the bike you mention is/was the same one you saw. A lot of these Riders are very well travelled and go far and wide to attend the Rallys. Hope you like the vid. Thanks for watching.
Great recommendation for safari tanks!!
Hi BEETLEJ00CE, yes indeed. I hope I plugged them enough in the vid so they got some business out of it. They certainly did the right thing by me. Thanks for watching.
I dont know if my caponord 1200 would be up for this fuel wise....but sure as hell I would give this a jam!!
Hi Mark Norman, a set of knobby tyres and an extra fuel bladder is all you need (maybe???). Thanks for watching.
Yehp, a few fuel bladders those v twins are thirsty. bigger wheels with nobbies for sure. I'll freight over from NZ and come for a blat - would be nice to see some ancient monoliths etc
Great vid..gutsy stuff mate unreal..
Hi Dave James, glad you like the Vid. Thanks for watching.
Permits are a blight and unnecessary . Jimmy
Hi Jimmy Somethin, yep, pain in the arse but sometimes nescessary here in Oz if you want to stay on the right side of the Law. Thanks for watching.
@@mongreldogproductions you got away with it, so I wouldn't bother with it since travelling doesn't hurt anyone lol. Pretty tyrannical if you ask me.
Always take a tube of knead it epoxy in the desert!
Mnt augustus in WA is larger but is mostly underground
Apparently so...
Awesome stuff 👍👍
Hi BRINGxTHExRUCKUS, glad you like the Vid...thanks for watching.
Did you send the damaged tank back to the fellas who make the tanks? In case there's a flaw in design and they could change it
They asked me to cut it up in pieces, photograph it and bin it. They did mention that there was a bad batch some years earlier of the white plastic tanks. Thanks for watching.
damn!! love your videos.. would love a adventure ride with you
What's stoppin' ya...Grab your gear; lets go! Glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching.
Just watched your vid sitting here in me recliner in Ireland makes me feel very lazy 👍😆
Hi Jim Aylward, lazy is ok...glad you like the Vid.
Jim Aylward, each to their own. Recliner sounds good.
But you could gear up & go adventuring yourself.
A lot of history & beautiful scenery up your way. 🇦🇺🏍🇮🇪👍🏼
@@966Mako .i do lots of different trips around Ireland this summer my mate and I did a couple of hundred miles on the WILD ATLANTIC WAY its a coastal road around the south west of IRELAND it would blow your mind did it on my new old bike Honda VTX 1800 . It's just Australia looks like a really tough going I'd like to see how i would do .👍😆
Makes me feel sorry I'm 80 years old. New subscriber in USA.
Awesome adventures MD.....
Thanks for watching...glad you like the vid.
PERMITS? Seriously? Not even the US Forestry service has tried that revenue enhancement trick! (taking the revenue from your hance into there hance) Planning to return to OZ end of summer hope to run into you sometime/somewhere. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍/10
Hi JG, it may be similar to American Indian Reservations...I note that they are off limits to tourists. Hopefully our international borders will open up soon. The COVID vaccine is being rolled out here in Oz from today (22 Feb) so maybe the World will start to return to some normality. Thanks for watching.
