I'm just an amateur who enjoys filming and keeping videos of my little adventures on the motorbikes, boating, fishing, camping and going on holidays with the family.
Common vids and playlists include: Single Track Riding - 2022 Xtrainer 300 & 2022 Beta 300 RR for enduro, mostly around south-east Queensland; practice days in shaley terrain and often day-trips and camping with mates in more pine forest and rainforest settings Adventure Rides - 2017 KTM 500 Teaching my kids to ride - son on 2022 KLX 140L Road Touring - 2014 Yamaha Stryker Fishing and Boating - 2013 Surtees 485 Workmate with 60hp Yamaha Family Camping - 23zero swags and BT50 with Norweld canopy.
@@crashpad707 we didn't even see/speak with Clarky.... took the risky 3+ hr drive, filled out the form, deposited generous donation and had a ball. Fires were OK this time, were banned last time. Contact is hard but I reckon you'll be fine, haven't heard it's closed by anyone
@@AdvHQ OVER 2 hrs driving one way 😮 that would SUCK 😢 luckily i have about 4 different areas to ride within 30min from home 😁just tooo darn lazy to go ride 🤔😉keep well and ride safe-ish Sir 🙃🍺
@@jefftaswelder9154 we have our regular singles about 25 mins away, and some other awesome tracks within 1.5 hrs, but these ones are often a good meeting spot with some other mates 3.5 hrs away (and there's some awesome riding 3 hrs too - but usually make that an overnighter). Still plenty I haven't explored yet too. Such a cool country that we can watch everyone's local riding!
Did you ever make any changes to the suspension, gearing , pipe , that you were talking about last year ? If so what difference did it make ? Is it any better now for a little faster flowing kind of trails ?
@@thomastjg53 on the Xtrainer I did - got DFX suspension and upgraded Beta springs, Gnarly exhaust, JD kit and removed air box top. Heaps better bike to ride (was already good but now it's just better all-round). This vid was on a standard 300RR - have both now.
I really want one of these adjustable windscreen setups but I don't know how to modify it to a bike that it's not made for. I'm sure there is a way with handlebar & fork brackets of some sort to bolt into the grommet holes. Anyone have any ideas? I want this exact windscreen put on to a Triumph Trident 660. How could I modify it to work?
He's really impressing me lately. Still cautious which is good but willing to give almost any hill (within reason) a fair go - and the little KLX is a tractor! Cheers for watching.
@@mack73 compared to standard Xtrainer it's more pokey but definitely controllable. Xtrainer with gnarly exhaust, jet kit and air box freed up is pretty comparable power wise (same motor so makes sense!). RR standard suspension is way better than standard Xtrainer but the DFX kit in Xtrainer makes it much better - but not cheap. I'm probably quicker on the Xtrainer as it is a bit nimbler for tighter tracks, RR nicer on more open tracks but I want to adjust my rear brake as I think that'll give me more confidence to go quicker on the RR - has a LOT of free play before it gives much bite at all.
@@AdvHQ Good to hear. How about the frame size. You seem large enough for the RR, curious if the Xtrainer feels more crampt? I believe the rider triangle is the same between the 2, the Xtrainer is just lower (pegs are further down on the frame) so while it is closer to the ground the rider dimensions are the same. Just wondering if you feel any difference
@@mack73 I'm 181cm and have put on a few kgs lately, about 89kg before gear, so close to 100kg geared up. I was expecting the Xtrainer to start feeling a bit small since adding some size but it still feels so comfy, nimble and plenty of torque/grunt. The lower peg and bashplate height are its only downside I reckon. You do feel a little higher on the RR but still easy ebough to manage in most areas. I'm only a novice rider so take my feedback for what it is. 🤙✊️🍻
This video really hit home. Been counting down the days to get mine as well although I've only been waiting 2 weeks 😂 should be picking it up this Saturday fingers crossed. I'm coming from an air cooled Honda 250f so I'm really stoked to get behind the bars of the beta! Good video, thanks for sharing.
@@OdysseyOffroad thanks mate, I have a feeling you're gonna love it... and the little upgrades (after a while) make it even better again.... still my favourite bike to ride 🤙✊️
@@danielpineda3656 sorry mate, I'm not familiar with them or any other braces. But I'm still happy as with them, 2 and a half years of solid use so far!
@@thegutsyninja8851 was a nice bike, but I never really felt comfortable around 100km/h, especially in cross-winds. Tried the Givi screen. Have a 1300cc cruiser now - feels super stable and comfy at all speeds.
@@AdvHQ actually the DRZ is as far as I’m going with off-road and I also own a 2004 Honda VTX1300C. So I have all the bases covered. I’m 66 so I don’t think I need more performance in the woods. The DRZ works just fine and it’s paid for.
@@repetitivemotion awesome mate, sounds like you've found a good balance. I like the lighter feel in the bush as I'm getting older but I probably can't use that against you as I'm only 43 🤣
@@AdvHQ I know what you mean. My trail-riding buddy rides a KTM 350 6-day. I would like one but the cost is prohibitive, plus I’m just used to the DRZ it fits me. I’ve got a couple snowmobiles and 2-stroke racing karts too, so I ride on dirt, sand, asphalt, concrete, snow and ice, 12 months a year. I’m blessed
Hello, I also bought the airflow windshield. In which of the 3 positions did you mount it on the Suzuki holder. Did you also change the mirrors? Did it do anything? Kind regards, George
@@holden3083 bloody 500 left me for dead on Saturday - broke down, middle of bush.... 3 hrs pushing it uphill before mate came with strap to help tow. Replacing fuel pump and see how I go. Nav is Garmin Zumo XT - it's super easy to read on the go but I have no idea how to mark waypoints or anything technical - just never sat and played with it.
@@7450gwar101 not really. We bought the KLX new but he wasn't big enough and the CRF came up for sale around the corner. Both perfect for young riders. The KLX feels more comfortable ergonomically and power wise to me. Both easy bikes to ride and learn on.
@@nathancordova4618 I think so mate. I was gonna order the large online (as most items are L-XL that I order) but when I tried these the mediums fit well. Best to try a set to check for yourself.
Exhaust was Delkevic website, tyres, crash bar and skid plate (uninstalled and wouldn't accept refund) was Sunstate Motorcycles dealership. Good luck and enjoy the bike mate - I've moved on to a cruiser now (and dirt bikes).
Not too bad - great if you like MX, which we're not too keen on, some nice trails and heaps we didn't get to. Was great for Cal to get practise but road in will rattle ya falsies out!
was good to get that little stack out of the way (thankfully just a couple of scratches) - he learned a bit about down hills from that. Was good to get three back-to-back days in... started to back himself on little hill climbs, etc.
