Roam New Zealand, following on from Australia I explore NZ on a solo motorbike camping adventure along dirt tracks, mountain passes, across properties/farms, back roads, the occasional HWY, camping beside lakes, on beaches, in the mountains and beside dirt tracks. Join me as I explore the beauty of this amazing country by motorcycle.

Right off the bat I absolutely love that you remake the thumbnail shot in the first few seconds of the video, there's something just so cool about clicking on that picture and seeing it come together. More videos should do this!

I was trying to make sure it didn't come across as clickbait (as that annoys me when the thumbnail doesn't relate to the video). Great to hear you enjoyed the first episode of the series. I hope you enjoy the series.

Thanks mate, great to hear you liked it. The 450 is not in NZ as yet, still a few more weeks away, they have started closing down the tracks for winter and it is getting to cold to camp. Spoiler alert, the Scam 411 does a great job.

After riding a mates 411 and watching your series convinced me to pick one up. As you have said in one of your vidoes it's perfect exploring bike which is my wheelhouse now I'm in my early 40's and take it a little slower.

@10:42 a bit of trivia for you Joe. The building that is coming into the frame from the left is/was a rock crushing plant. The unusual triangular shape is because it is built using some of the recycled piers from the Otoko Viaduct. The viaduct was on the Moutohora Branch which was built with the intention of eventually meeting up with the East Coast Main Trunk that was terminated at Taneatua. The Moutohora Branch closed in 1953. Good to see you in NZ, lots more of the scenery is familiar to me. Anthony.

Hi Joe. Your channel popped up in my feed yesterday. I’ve since watched all of the parts to your last roam which I enjoyed immensely. I will go back and catch up on your other adventures, but looking forward to the NZ trip. You truly inspire me to get out and adventure, currently I’m building an adventure bike out of a 90’s Kawasaki KLE 500, only problem we have in the UK is the lack of trails and tracks like you have down-under, but I’m sure there’s plenty to explore before heading out into Europe. All the best, Richard

Yes mind-blowing does sum it up, it is definitely worth going and exploring there. NSW has some incredible places to explore I see it as just different than NZ no worse no better, unique in it's own way. For example the first episode of the A rough idea series going out to the "Walls of China" in Mungo National park was mind-blowing on sunset.

Hi Joe good to see your back on the road to adventure. Very interested to see how the scram goes as it’s the exact bike I also have 👍go well 🙏
@freewayproject
@freewayproject 3 месяца назад
Thanks mate it is good to be back. Well I can tell you I am quite surprised with the scram, even with the 19inch wheel on front it is getting the job done off road with no issues. I have not tried any really steep rocky hill climbs but the rest of it, the bike is doing with ease. Also it is noticeably better on the tarmac on winding roads compared to the 21inch knobbly on my Himalayan.

Beautiful as always! We were wondering where you were, now we know. So nice of RE NZ to lend you a Scram. I thought the Scram had a USB port under the left switch pod like the Himalayan, it's odd how RE changes things up. I had a similar idea about how to get the Rinowalk bags through an airline. I was just going to strap the bags together and try not to worry, your way is better. Rinowalk does make a universal heat shield that clamps on to the muffler, but I think you could fashion similar out of a bit of tin and some large hose clamps.
@freewayproject
@freewayproject 3 месяца назад
Yes very grateful that they lent me the bike. Apparently some version did have a USB port but not this one. Yes I have been in a lot of airports and have actually heard checking staff say to people you have strapped 2 bags together so it's classed as 2 bags. So I got the bag that goes over my 70L hiking backpack (the bag is light and tough an used for when putting the back pack on the plane so all the straps and buckets don't get destroyed by baggage handlers). I got the 2 side panniers my 40L top bag, my tank bag and my helmet in there, all that under 23kg.

Intro was absolutely bonkers dude. Very excited to start this new chapter! Extremely cool of RE to hook you up with a bike, though tbh they should give you an official sponsor deal of some kind; I imagine you've inadvertently sold at least a handful of new Himalayans to people who watch your channel haha

New Zealand is mind-blowing and I know I will barely scratch the surface of what is here, you'll see in the next episode (episode 4) that the trails start to get fun. I would love to explore the trails in the Smoky mountain, i have traveled through there before but not one a motorbike. Hopefully I can plan a trip there in the not to distance future. Have fun out there.

Ride off to an awesome start. Really looking forward to this as I want to do a trip like this in the not too distant future. It was a bit of luck to get the bike as one of the frustrating things is that it is pretty cheap to rent a car in NZ but bloody expensive to rent bikes.
