No rant there my friend!.. that was nothing but solid advise! Thank you ..& thanks for the checklist!

@richardconnoly Месяц назад

Australian outback or Baja Mexico, the same advice applies. However, we each carry a couple of Combat Applications Tourniquets (C-A-T) and know how to use them along with abdominal pads. Controlling a major bleed is one of the few very time-critical issues that must be managed immediately.

good thinking!

@maldeplume1674 Месяц назад

No rant Keith. Good advice for those who don't know. Well done!

@duketr4 Месяц назад

Thanks for your efforts Kieth. I'm planning a trip next year on my 950 adv across Oz (West to east), I'm confident the trip will be a success. I've taken plenty of note from your trips.

@djnmv Месяц назад

Some great advice there Keith, and the checklist is the icing on the cake 👍🏼👍🏼

@atlas_au Месяц назад

Interested to see a comprehensive video on every thing you would to the bike and gear before going.. for example - im in the process of loctiting, torque checking and replacing all critical bolts with safety wired bolts if possible. And other tips like carrying multiple smaller water bladders so if one leaks youre not screwed.

@nickg2431 27 дней назад

Even on day trips i have always done that, the thinking goes... You drink 1 bottle ,the second leaks and on the last trail you fall off one left.

@mabecka Месяц назад

Tip: A 21" tube will work in a 18" back wheel.

@bradmark1363 Месяц назад

Fair call, in the West (WA) most adv rides are remote, so best to be prepared and know your bike!

@keithjob Месяц назад

Great tip - know your bike! Do servicing yourself where you can, so you know how to fix stuff!

@greglipschitz Месяц назад

Prior preparation prevents piss poor performance. Great advice Keith.

@teenuc Месяц назад

Hey Keith - Love your Videos! Great checklist and I agree with it, but I wanted to know why you carry a spare injector? (I carry a spare fuel pump for the same bike as yours)

@keithjob Месяц назад

I'm expecting it to fail or get clogged one of these days...

@jethrowingnut13 Месяц назад

Nice to see another Nerd on the job, I have check lists for everything, no point in forgetting anything important. Makes life simple if you don't have to rack your brain every time you go on a trip, also easy to refine the list see what you didn't actually use and remove it. Great Job Keith, I'm a fan of your videos. 👍

@keithjob Месяц назад

Yep I have a few saved away... two week / one week/ 4 days / weekend ride, and camping or pub versions.

@jethrowingnut13 Месяц назад

@@keithjob Nice.

@andrewgreen1181 Месяц назад

That was the best example of some really wise words. Don't really mind your channel either 👍👍👍

@MotoPassport Месяц назад

I wouldn't say this is a rant just good advice & an excellent checklist to our biking community, thanks

@shieldsymusic Месяц назад

Guilty as charged, you Honour...

@nickg2431 27 дней назад

What does "buff"mean in your gear checklist Keith?From the net oxford dictionary example-"the driver was a buff blond named March" I hope you are not suggesting we all change our name to March and dye our hair blond for the trip ?That could create some tension in a remote enviroment😀😀There is also an entry for "lip balm"or was it lipstick.I must admit i am now having some reservations about these desert trips!

@keithjob 23 дня назад

Buff is a brand-name neck scarf thing. Microfibre. Keeps the wind off when cold, and I use it also when hot to keep the sun off my neck. Lip balm stops my lips cracking in the wind and sun!

@ogasi1798 Месяц назад

common sense is often lost on folk - fail to prepare: prepare to fail.... Oh and that bike in the desert with what looked like 60kilo of baggage hahahaha, my god man - really?

@gonegliding2966 Месяц назад

Biggest mistake I've seen people make is overloading bikes. Carrying the kitchen sink etc....

@BMXaster Месяц назад

Personally, my single biggest enlightenment I've ever had was in regards to alcohol. Fuck alcohol. I grew up with mountains everywhere, do stuff many ordinary people would call crazy and irresponsible in summer and winter. Everyone who is a remotely trustworthy person knows that you do not drink alcohol in the mountains. The same is true for any situation where you need to be focused, need to know your body, your limits and have sharp senses to be able to constantly adapt to anything coming your way. Alcohol is poison, it kills you. It kills your rational, it kills your next day, it kills your fitness. And in the wrong place, it sooner or later kills you. I am not talking the odd beer with friends at sunset ever so often, that one beer is delicious. Just keep it at that one beer. Or better, keep it clean and don't even start a potentially catastrophic evening by opening your first can of beer. Ride safe!

@ivorscruton5121 Месяц назад

Recovering alcoholic perhaps? Yes alcohol is a good friend but a poor master.

@nickg2431 27 дней назад

A beer in the evening after a hot and dusty ride is fantastic on a tour ,sometimes two but no more...

@Suzukiweekend Месяц назад

Make sure you have air ambulance and carry essentials

@keithjob Месяц назад

Ambulance cover, and gold roadside assist are pretty much mandatory if you're going remote. (RA won't pick you up in the desert but will help out if you break down on a "major" dirt road)
