It seems that Dylan is one of those entertaining larrikins likely to get you in trouble, but having a lot of fun at the same time. Another excellent episode, thanks Joe.
haha, I think you are right Lester, as the saying goes "it not an adventure until something goes wrong" I am sure with Dylan there would be lots of adventures.
Sometimes, people use click bait to encourage you to watch their videos, which turn out to be absolute drivel. That's not the case with Joe. What you see is what you get, genuinely good, engaging content. Please keep them coming....
Thanks Paul, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. I have no clue how to do the whole click bait thing, and I wouldn't look good in a Bikini 😂😂😂
I'm a long time motorcyclist and I've spent 30 plus years in television production.I congratulate you on the effort and standard you've produced. I can appreciate what it's taken to shoot such a variety of shots with multi camera's. You're a gutsy buggar. Great edit you've held me for thirteen episodes.
Thanks mate, it is great to hear you are enjoying the series. I enjoy the exploring on the bike, the filming and editing even thought it takes me a while (I don't think I could do it if I didn't) . If you ever get bored there are 46 episodes of me riding around Australia on the channel as well.
Definitely Garth, I kept stopping in the last 30mins of dusk, the light was amazing and mountains in every direction. Yes always good to mix it up, Dylan and i had a lot of fun exploring and a lot of laughter.
Definitely Chris, so cool to ride some different tracks that aren't the known ones. You're welcome and it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in another stunning location
You never disappoint Joe. So much fun watching this one with your mate Dylan. Thank you for showing how beautiful this planet is again. Ride on, mount up and take care.
Great to hear you enjoyed that episode, we had a lot of fun exploring and a lot of laughs, and again in more stunning locations. The last 30mins of light at dusk was insane kind of Pastel.
You two make a great pair 😂I bet he livened up your day,what a lovely character. What a joy when your videos turn up out of the blue,made my day 👌 Cheers Joe 🫡
Great you met Dillon Joe. What a character he is. And to see areas not common to the average Tourist was invaluable to your Motorcycle Adventure. I'm still amazed with what you're seeing in New Zealand Joe. 👏👏
Yes Dylan is a great bloke, yes was awesome to get to explore somewhere different, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs and in more incredible locations. How was the last 30mins of light at dusk, I think I stopped 5 times to get photos, the colour all around was hard to describe almost like pastel colours. You and me both I am still amazed what I come across.
And then just like that, you outdid yourself. What a truly great video. The ride back to the campsite in fading light made my throttle hand twitch. Old mate Dylan gets a high five for “good dude” comedy cameo.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in another stunning location. Yes the last 30mins of light at dusk was stunning, I kept stopping for photos haha. Yes Dylan is a great bloke.
One of your best, it's a shame you two aren't travelling together. You two as a pair really hit it off,you couldn't have found a better guy to film with. Loved it.
thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun out there and a lot of laughs and again in another stunning location. yes Dylan is a great bloke.
yes Dylans a top bloke, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, and got to explore a absolutely stunning area and how was the last 30mins of light at dusk, what an amazing place.
Yes New Zealand just keeps delivering on the stunning landscape. The last 30mins of light at dusk was stunning, the colours were almost pastel. It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
That's great to hear mate, we had a lot of fun and laughs, in another stunning location, all in all a pretty epic day. Oh and how was the light at dusk, I didn't know where to look.
Thanks Philip, it is great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun and laughs in this one, and the last 30mins of light at dusk was incredible , it's hard not to get a decent photo.
Absolute top episode Joe. Not sure if it was the extra length or the Kiwi banter, but certainly some stunning scenery again. As a couch tourist I’m sucking it all in so I can compare when I get out on my next big ride, soon 🤞. Thanks again for the top entertainment 👌
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. yes Dylan and I had a lot of fun and laughs in another stunning location and the last of the light at dusks was amazing. Awesome you'll be out there again exploring, so cool to hear.
This episode has so much silliness going on - I need to watch it again. "Baby Sitting my Kind Tour Guide"... The Ex on a farm, The Gates, The Lake Fridge and a sleeping Jucy Van... Cheers Joe - had a laugh watching this one.
It's great to hear you are still enjoying the series Mark, yep Dylan is a great bloke, were had a lot of fun exploring and a lot of laughs, in more stunning locations.
I don't care what they say: I'm always touched when redheads bond. Jokes aside... I find that watching two blokes on bikes (irrespective of their hair colour): Belting along picturesque dirt tracks; Gently mocking one another's embarrassments and mishaps; Is a fairly agreeble way to unwind, on a Friday night, after a mongrel of a week. Great video, thanks--AGAIN--Joe.
haha that made me laugh out loud. It's great to hear you enjoyed that episode Rob, yep we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs and yes in an amazing place as well.
I think this might be my favourite episode of your New Zealand trip so far. Not only are you mixing it with charismatic locals (Cheers Dylan!) but the stunning footage in the dusk light is just superb!
Thanks mate. Yes we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, Dylan is a top bloke and kept thing entertaining. And yes the light, I had to keep stopping and take photos, that last 45mins was amazing.
Recognized that camp site at Lake Clearwater instantly! We literally camped in the exact same spot by the lake five years ago. 😊 Those dudes in the Juicy Van will get an expensive repair bill, as they are not supposed to drive them on shingle roads 😮 ...😂...😢
Another great video! Found your channel a couple of weeks back. Currently smashing my way through the big Aussie series. Looking forward to the rest of the NZ trip and whatever you do next!
Hey Geoffrey , thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying the New Zealand series and the Aussie one. HAHA it's funny I am hooked on your Land Rover Restoration series. I've done up one vehicle from the 70's and have another one to start when I get the chance.
@@freewayproject hahaha, that is so random. The internet’s a small place! So is the world - you would’ve ridden within about 30m of my driveway! Keep in touch. I’ll go find you on instagram.
Wow !!! Typical southern country kiwi that Dylan Ay ? what a crack-up guy, you are so lucky to meet these such hospitable people Joe, that's why NZ is such a great country .... keep it up Joe, amazing stuff ....cheers for now..... 🐑🐑🐑🏍
it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in another stunning location, Yes every New Zealander I have meet has been amazing, the landscape is mind-blowing but the people make the difference so so good.
@@freewayproject excited for that, more Royal Enfield content. Keep it up anyway mate, it’s been a good watch. Im a kiwi, live in Christchurch, was great seeing you explore the South Island & get the most out of it.
Haha dylan is a worthy cameo, seems like a bloody good bloke. Good to see those rhinowalk saddlebags handled a slide across the gravel well too, pretty convinced myself to get some.
Yes we had a lot go fun and laughs, great bloke. Yes I have dropped my bike several time and had not issues, he would have slid more when he went down so yes, they seem to be able to take a bit ofd a beating.
Hi Joe, good to see all the fun you've had in the SI. Just want to thank you for showcasing our country better than I've seen before from any previous rider vlogs. A great job very well done.
Hey Phil it is great to hear you are enjoying the series, I think New Zealand show cases itself, mind-blowing every where I went. I meet a Phil in Blenheim who was kind enough to give me a bit of oil for the chain after riding in the rain and dirt for a day, where ever I go on the island I keep meeting the nicest people.
I missed out on watching yesterday as i was out on the bike before dawn, and not home until long after dark. Sadly the exact opposite of your riding, just 750km of highway to meet up with my daughter for lunch. I really need to get more joyful riding into my life, and your videos have certainly been an inspiration for making that change. I've been riding some local farm roads that I've never been down despite them only being 50 km from home. And while it's not New Zealand, I've found some pretty valleys and nice views. So thanks for getting me out of my rut.
Yes Dylan said oh it's normal, the Juice Van company has a system it is so common, they drive out a new van swap everything over and then take the old one.
@@freewayproject About a month ago I woke up by the far side of lake Ohau at 4 am. The scene was amazing. Wished I'd had a good camera rather than my -$25 one. Yes the minus belongs there, the lens attached was worth $150 but since the camera was attached the price was only $125. I have Scottish ancestry. 😉
Another epic video, man love this place, your videos are stunning my friend, not sure what you are taking them with but none the less stunning, cannot wait for the next one as well. Stay safe out there Joe
Thanks Robert, it's great to hear you are still enjoying the series, we had a lot of fun exploring and a lot of laughs and again in more stunning locations. Cameras are just an DJI Osmo action for the stuff on the bike and a small Sony A7SIII for the rest of the filming, it's pretty basic.
So enjoying your NZ trip! I'll get there......one day! After watching your trip around Oz, I took the plunge and bought a used Himalayan. The first couple of rides on the highway, I was wondering why. Then, after a thousand kilometres of backroads and bush, the penny dropped. Brilliant bike for exploring.
It's great to hear you are enjoying the New Zealand series. Yes there are better bikes for going fast from A to B and better bikes for climbing rocky rutted out steep nasty single tracks. But yes the Himalayan is build for explore, I think of it like a tractor, I don't have to worry about the bike it will get me there, take all the punishment i give it, drop it, smashing it through things. When it's about exploring new places and it's all about what's in front of you that you're interested in and you don't have to think about what is under you, that's a great bike to explore on. Great to hear you are enjoying the bike and getting out there and exploring.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode and thanks for the support we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs out there in another stunning location
Great filming Joe....inspires me to go solo exploring at home in Tasmania. Wish i could change a tube that easy. Always paranoid about flats. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mark, it great to hear your exploring Tasmania such an epic place to explore. The best thing to do it change a few time until you get comfortable with it. Depending on what size they are they need a bit of muscling, the bigger diameter ones are a bit easier than the smaller ones. It helps to push the bead of the tyre in to the centre of the rim where the divot is at the opposite end to where you are using the leavers as it means the diameter is shorter there so easier.
What stands out for me is the quality of the roads, bitumen and gravel. The roads in Australia are in the worst state of repair I can remember after 40 years of riding. One of today’s headlines has a FNQ MP claiming that potholes on the Bruce Highway led to a fatal collision between a car and a bus. The truth is the roads are shocking now and the difference between the roads in NZ and Australia is evidently huge.
Good observation Jeremy, I hadn't thought about it but yes all the roads, dirt or bitumen I rode on were in great condition (obviously the dirt tracks in the series I am picking them because they are rocky and rough).
Man, I was just smiling through this entire video, old mate Dylan is a hard case. Being an aussie, you would have been fine drinking that meths near the end there, tastes just like aussie beer ;)
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in more stunning location. Haha, yes skipped the purple liquid this time.
@@freewayproject it was one of my favorites so far man, awesome. Loved the Juicy van, treat that green as a warning sign when you're sharing the road with one, they all get driven like that ha~
it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode Annie, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in more stunning location and yes the ice cream was so yummy.
Thanks for the inspiring video. The Braided river Tagliamento I have seen in the area of Tolmezzo Italy. One of the last unrestricted rivers in central Europe.
You are welcome mate, it's great to hear you enjoying the episode. I googled the river in Italy, it looks absolutely stunning, I would love to explore that area.
@@3goldfinger No they are in order this must would have been early April. They just take me a while to edit, so the first episode was at the same time, but as the are only one or two days between each episode it gets further away in the later episodes, if that makes sense
I have a gear review coming a the need of the New Zealand series that will go over everything, but the pants I am using are the John Doe defender, they are more comfortable than most, they are kevlar lined and have the protecting pads on the hips and knees. They are not water proof, to get water proof it's 3 or 4 times the cost and a lot less comfortable, so I have rain pants to through on over the top. Gloves I have 2 sets, Akin Moto the old version of RAIDER MX MOTORCYCLE GLOVES I have are done over 70,000km and I have a pair of BERING MOYA GORE-TEX BLACK WINTER MOTORCYCLE GLOVES, warm and water proof
Thanks Larry. No, the episodes take me a while to edit each one so I have left New Zealand, I managed to get by with the old tent as there were no nights where it rained. The new one will make an appearance the next time I am camping.
@@freewayproject I thought something was up because for a new tent it was not bright and clean. Any way, good show so far. I wish I was young again and could visit both Australia and NZ.
From what I have seen, India is an amazing place to ride. So can't wait to explore it in the future. I hope you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in another stunning location
If you think roundabouts are difficult and more so with a railway line through it, how about a 1 way bridge where the road deck is the same as the rail deck? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjJhr1ULvhE.html About 3.5km north of Kumara Junction was such a bridge, I've driven over several times but never by train as it is a freight only line that serves the diary factory at Hokitika. Since my video was shot a new road bridge has been built. Anthony
I'm find with the roundabouts there is just one country that freaks out when they approach them, I won't name it. Had a look at the video, well that is what is called utilising your assets.
@@notsorare Oh sorry about pronouncing it wrong and for helping me out with the pronunciation. As mention at the start of the series I will probably get all the pronunciations of places names wrong as I struggle with it due to my Dyslexia. my sincere apologies
Hi Joe, I've been following your trips for a while and I just love your cinematography. Are you able to please tell me what video editing software you use? And do you use GoPro cameras, or something else? Thanks.
Hi Pippa, I use Final Cut Pro as I find it the quickest to use also it renders files out a lot faster so for this type of editing it's the one that works the best. I do not use a GoPro, I have tried and they have always had issues, stopping, having to reset, battery issues, dying for no reason etc.... For the footage while riding I am using a DJI Osmo Action, I'd rather use a real camera but the weight would be an issue.
@@freewayproject Thanks so much for your prompt reply! I tried using Final Cut Pro but didn't warm to it enough to persist, and moved to Camtasia which I found much more intuitive and easy to use, but I've found that a lot of the professional videographers use Final Cut Pro, so may go back. And what drone do you use? I had a DJI Mavic Mini 2, but it just died on me mid-flight! Got the drone back, but the problem was with the controller which now can't be fixed. So I'm looking to get something else.
there are 3 main editing programs used by professionals to create feature films, adobe premiere pro, blackmagic davinci resolve and apple final cut pro. Premiere and Davinci work on the traditional NLE (non linear editing) format, where as FCP changed it slightly to make the editing process faster. Which ever NLE you choose it's all about sticking with it for the long term to which makes editing faster. For 99% of editing projects they all can do the same job. The Benefit of Premiere is the integration with After Effects (if you work with this). The benefit of FCP is due to Apple designing the software and hardware it is 3 to 4 times faster rendering exporting, less issues with retime playback etc... Davinci is great to they all do basically the same job and only have slight differences, so for youtube it's all about speed. I have a DJI Mavic 3 Pro ( I recently upgraded from the original Mavic) I also use it for the Documentary film work I do (my Job). I need it for the format it films in so i can colour grade it to match other higher end cameras, the drone that are less expensive don't have these codecs
@@freewayproject remember in NZ - vowels - ah, eh, ee, or, uoo simple man - great vids loved your Aussie ones too - The south Island is great but don't forget the north - come to Taranaki and I'lll take you on a great ride ;-)
Another epic episode. Dylan seems to be a bit of a kook like me. 😆 Deb and I laughed at his bouncing the bridge, I looked at her and said, "We don't know anyone who'd act that childish, do we?" 🤣 Something else..... I might have missed it in the store, but just in case..... Do you offer digital downloads ? Since I don't have an actual home I have no place to hang a poster, but, a image on my Mac homescreen would be sweet.
🤣 there is always one🤣 , it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in more stunning locations. I haven't got any digital downloads at the moment but I'll look into it
Hi Jonathan, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. I am using a JDI Osmo action for the shots when riding on the bike and everything else is filmed on a Sony A7SIII
