I hope you have a good samaritan who can solve all your problems. Also don't give up exploring this beautiful country, there is so much more out there to see and experience.
Hey mate! Hard to express how much I Appreciate you're super Thanks! It's very much appreciated you like my content so much! As you can imagine it is hard work to take all the footage, and edit all the Videos. Very time consuming, this feels like a huge reward Thank you! Stay tuned for more advantage, Appreciate the comments you have given me earlier! Thanks mate!
12k for a tow? Doesn't make any economical sense, man, with a 13k bike. Then again a desert is a desert, and the australian conditions are one of a kind. I would consider very carefully adventuring through it and not alone. I am like you a lone rider and love it, but some places to me are not to be traveled solo. Glad you made it out in one piece. I bet you learned a few valuable things about adventuring there, these are goldies for your next paths. Happy trails to you.
Good result in the end and thanks to technology you were able to get assistance. I hope others watching this realise the real risks, costs and potential consequences of travelling in remote Australia before trying to tackle tracks like this. It is very risky and those who know make careful planning and preparation before doing so. Even with the best planning and equipment you can and likely will face potentially deadly situations. Even relatively short trips in the desert are dangerous especially on motorcycles so always travel in pairs. I would also recommend travelling in the cooler months and avoid any desert trips in summer at all costs. Generally only employees of mining companies, contractors, government workers or the like will travel on these tracks in summer and with the financial backing and support that brings in case something goes wrong. They certainly don’t travel alone. You certainly should never just “wing it and hope for the best”. I hope you manage to get your bike back but from the sounds of it, it will likely be added to the long list of forgotten vehicles that have died out there. Just lucky you didn’t join that list.
True! Thanks for watching mate! Much appreciated! In the meanwhile the bike is out of there, due to some harsh events that happened after this, i wasnt able to edit or post any footage, hence the time delay! Thanks for the tip though! Thanks for staying tuned and watching my video! Much appreciated!
@@Adventure_Fever awesome news mate. Glad you got your bike back. It’s a big fear of mine that my bike may end up being left to the elements and scavengers after a situation like this and I have grown up and lived in remote WA for most of my life. Doing a big trip later this year and if anything goes wrong there won’t be any support other than relying on our EPIRB and the rescue efforts of the nearest community. I wasn’t knocking you over this I just want anyone who is watching to know what the situation really is. Unless you really know how empty and harsh it is out there then an unsuspecting person may get themselves into a very dire situation. 👍🇦🇺💪
@@Adventure_Fever second that, the 4x4 community in WA is amazing, I am sure there are some good people out there that would love to help. I dont have the means to do it but would 100% if i could. good luck mate. keep on keeping on.
One thing your adventures have made clear is that unless you are very well off financially, hard-core adventure riding can be quite risky! Life is much easier if you have new equipment, and large sums of money to cover unexpected events. But then, challenges are sometimes more rewarding if it isn't 'easy'.
Tue.... I wish i could say that i was rich.... however I'm not ;) But as your saying, challenges make the adventure as beautiful, difficult, lonely, empowering, but most of all, unforgettable! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
Hope you get it sorted man, hopefully someone can reach out and help you recover your bike. Lucky you got out with only heat exhaustion, Australia has some beautiful tracks but they can be unforgiving as you have found out. Good luck man 🤙🏽
Thanks for the comment Geoff! Appreciate you watching! Yes there beautifull, and this will certainly not be my last one in Australia, however.... For now other parts of the world will come frist!
Glad your safe bud. It's not A fail just A learning curve, it will for sure give you the knowledge and experience to go further and longer. Hopefully you can go back one day and redo the trip with the enhanced knowledge you have now. Defiantly looking forward to the next adventure Brother, Rest up And Rise safe 👍😜
Hey! Thanks for youre comment and you watching my vdieos! Much appreciated! I will definetly re do the trip! Frist i will go ahead and do some other parts of the world! But definetly be back in Australia!
You can rent a Ute (pick up truck) for a couple of hundred dollars a day… get a heap of fuel cans, water etc… and drive back and collect it yourself for much cheaper. I’m in Adelaide, and if I had the time I’d drive and help you for the costs of the fuel… but unfortunately I have work commitments. Don’t let company’s scam you the big dollars.
@BordertotheShore I wish that would have been a option, rental utes dont let you go into the Anne Beadell, if shit hits the fan you're getting a big time hole in youre wallet or even legal trouble hehe Thanks for watching Mutch appreciated!
Damn mate, those recovery rates are absolutely insane. But considering it's in the middle of nowhere, I reckon that's to be expected. I really hope that you're able to figure out a way to get your bike out of there. Love your vids and glad you're out of that situation.
It's a really gutsy trip to do on your own and perhaps in retrospect it would have been better to choose the cooler months, but hey hindsight, as they say is always 20/20. Most Aussies have never gone where you have, so I take my hat off to you regardless of the outcome. No one was injured during your rescue and I suspect that you have reimbursed Mick and the pilot for their time and expenses. Ultimately mate you rolled the dice and you lost, but you didn't lose your life and I'm sure that some big hearted Aussie will help you to rescue your bike for a reasonable price. That's how it rolls in the bush...
It's not an adventure if everything goes smoothly, no bumps, no knocks along the way - both to the bike and to the body. So, hope you recover soon and get back in the saddle and drive your bike out of there yourself.
This is the first video of yours I've watched, but I'm going that way in June in a convoy, we are planning to do the Anne Beadell Highway. We may be able to retrieve it if it's still there. Please reach out if this will be helpful.
@sunshinematthews3652 Hey mate, In the meanwhile the bike is out of there, due to some harsh events that happened after this, i wasnt able to edit or post any footage, hence the time delay! Thanks for the tip though! Thanks for staying tuned and watching my video! Much appreciated!
Glad to see you survived the “Aussie heatstroke” that on its on is extremely life threatening.. bugger about the bike.. hope you find somebody to retrieve the bike & hopefully it’s still in one piece.. what about the place you bought it from.. surely they could do something to help..did they offer warranty?.. reach out to Yamaha for sponsorship.. tell them to view your videos & what your doing..or even the place you bought it from to sponsor!! .. there’s got to be someone in the community to help.. or reach out to current affairs show’s / media.. your showcasing Australia’s outback & a great story for them of how you got rescued .. maybe they’d have a way to reach out to tourism to get sponsorship/ financially help… or even one of the famous pubs there in Kalgoorlie .. great exposure for them!.. let them know would love to receive some of the “traditional Aussie spirit” help a mate out.. try getting help out of cooper peddy.. Have enjoyed watching your videos and hope to see someone help so you can continue .. good luck..safe travels.. just keep pushing for the good old Aussie spirit to help! Get your 11k subscribers to use the $thanks button 😊
When rescuing you have to take into consideration the cost of petrol to and then return PLUS a wage. I wanted my car to the towed 1k km and it was going to cost $5K
You will find someone to help. Someone who is just excited for the adventure with a worthy cause. If the timing were right, i'd start packing the 4wd ;)

@roberthocking9138 That is exactly the reason Australians give me, the kindness, hospitality to travelers, and welcomeness Australians give i have never seen anywhere in the world!
G'day Luke, I have caught up been binge watching for two day's. Hope every thing work's out.What is it with you dutch adventure rider's and mirrors, Itchy brakes a few to. Good Luck👍
Much appreciated that you have binged my Footage! Thanks for that, good to hear you Enjoyed it! About the mirrors peter, well..... Its only extra weight isnt it haha! Thanks for watching much appreciated!
i don't understand why you can't fix your bike at the roadhouse and ride it to coober pedy and then go down to port augusta if you need more extensive repairs. i have ridden a good bit of south australia/ simpson desert etc and you have to be self sufficient and repair stuff yourself if you possibly can. northern motorcycles in port augusta are a yamaha dealer they can send parts anywhere it's possible. i wouldn't go out there on anything but a suzuki so i've never needed parts but i did call in there to get fresh rubber and give my bike a service and they were good to deal with.
@6226superhurricane Hey, Sounds like a good bike shop! Once my bike was consuming so much water, and i was getting lower and lower, i have decided to call for rescue. If the bike hadnt needed the water, i would have had plenty left... however, better to call for rescue before running out of water!
G'day mate, from the Netherlands. I'v been on a lot of tracks in Australia and recommend everybody to experience the stunning outback, on a save en responseble way. Good to see you are well and save after all. But am I right that you needed to be rescued TWICE !? As shown in a other vid on the same track? What a adventure, it may give you some more views youtube. But please put a big warning on your channel: 'this was stupid I'v made twice a big miscalculation and it went totaly wrong; I'm not proud!' A big P on the bike and with no capability to repair te bike on site by yourself, solo going onto these tracks is not to be shown as normal on youtube. I recon good decisions a much better then a device with a rescue button. No wonder you (had to?) leave australia! That may has been the best decicion.
That sucks mate, maybe ring the pub in cooperpedy and see if they might know someone who is willing to go and retrieve the bike.?. Anyway I hope it turns out in your favor hang in there bud.

Hi Mate, just wondering if you’d had your bike recovered yet? I might be able to help you out if you want to get in contact with me that would be great
Fly to Coober Pedy, surely for 2-3k you’ll find someone at the pub who takes you for the short trip to your bike. 400k is nothing out there. If I were there at the moment I’ll do it for fuel, food & beer
The rescue was by car, once the rescued me to the roadhouse, i had to pay for a air fair whit the mail plane to Kalgoorlie! Thanks for watching, stay tuned for more!
I left Australia in the end of december, after having gone through some rough patches there, this not included. I needed some time to get everything back togheter and to start editing my footage, because i'm having a delay inbetween my video's and im not posting every hour for a example, the time frame is a bit out of sync!

Pro 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Pro 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. Pro 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. Pro 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. Pro 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
@Rickybobby1340 Hey rick, The tenere is a strong and reliable bike, it might not seem like that, but after doing some research a lot of 2009 teneree's (my previous bike) have got the issue whit the gear, the tenere's are high up in the list of reliable bikes, DAKAR has been ridden on them for a reason
Please read the text below this post, this journey wasn't recently done. but due to all the unforseeing circimstances that happened. I wasn't able to post my vlogs.

Go to google maps, find Australia, switch to satellite layer, see how much desert there is, the only inhabited places in Australia are the coastlines where there are greenzones.
Having ridden a substantial amount of the Outback on my Bicycle GCR, Canning, Munda Biddi, Oodnadatta Track. flinders, Tanami rd, Nullabor, Gibb river rd, Mawson track, Stuart highway....the one thing i would NEVER do is travel in the summer months while some may applaud you for your efforts i think you need to have you head checked only Stupid people travel in the desert in the summer months , you put you life at risk and your can put rescuers at risk and for WHAT! Please think of others and NOT JUST YOUR SELF and your false sense of glory...being in the bush in the summer is just plain Idiotic , your not a local and you have NO clue as to what your doing!
Hey! Thanks for youre comment and opinion! This track hasn't been traveled in summer, i can assure you! I put my live at risk for the adventure, and do everything in my power to make it through whitout getting as much as a scratch. this unfortunatley didnt happen here. Rescue is in most of my trips not neccesary however this one went wrong.... Putting a rescuer at risk is not a intention, intention is for everything to go right, when it doenst fix it yourself, and when that doenst work comes rescue. Wich was what happened in this case. Please have a look at earlier video's where i explain what time of year, and what my precations where.
@@Adventure_Fever Whether or not you explained your desires in a previous video...Going out into the outback in the summer is 100% the stupidest thing a NON local can do and when i say Local I mean Aboriginal the first men not the rest of us...we have NO idea how to deal with it and you could have died , the only smart thing you did was stop when you did AS A MEDIC I CAN TELL YOU FOR CERTAIN you were hours away from death ...I hope you think beyond yourself the next time!!
This just screams unprepared, the amount of unneccesary rescue resources you wasted because of your impulsivity, riding in late spring, thinking you're invincible... even admitting you ran out of water? It was raining when you got rescued, so you didn't check the weather. My word man, please use foresight to your advantage. This easily could've been another tourist tragedy.
Look at the amount of preparation he did. It seems to me you don’t really know what you are talking about. The number of silly people that have to be rescued every year simply because they are going flat out in remote areas thinking they are invisible is staggering. He was quite conservative in his approach. Regarding the water he took significantly more then most of us that have been through there. There is always a chance of something going wrong on these trails and he tried very hard to minimise that chance.
@@Kurtis8801whatever you say mate your ignorance is showing did you miss the part where he said on the video he still had about 12!litres of water despite the problems with the radiator. Oh wait you you don’t listen because you know everything don’t you 😂.
he said in the vid he had plenty of water, and that wasn't an issue. The heat affects people differently. Heat stroke kicked in and clearly he made the right call to get recused before he become delusional, I think it shows he was prepeared and aware of the danger. It's a harsh enviroment, one that has claimed a lot of lives, good to see someone came to the rescue. $12k for bike recovery is taking advantage of someone that is already suffered and is dishonourable.
You could restart your trip in a ute and pick it up. Definitely it's difficult manage your finance but try maybe looking for someone wants to do an adventure regarding. Maybe another youtuber that could create a content from this rescue? I m in Perth and there are few content creators 4wd. Try to contact 4xoverland or Ronny dhall. i wish you the best and if you come to perth and need a tool i will be happy to help
I wished, the rental utes don't let you go off-road, and you're getting in some reel deep shit if you break down whit that...... However that would have been a good idea, I'm a bit scary with four wheel drive trips, as i know bikes but got zero experience whit cars..... Thanks for watching mate! Much appreciated!
@@Adventure_Fever all the best, i keep following you! ps a good bike for your adventure could be the klr 650, i already made the service to a couple of them and great bikes. they remember me the dominator honda i was using in italy, simple and reliable. I hope you going to get back with the teneré :) ciao!
Why do people like you think you can come to a place like the Australia desert by your self and and then expect everyone ones help when get it all wrong , you need to have a partner in crime that place is dangerous when things go wrong and by your self you don't want to be .
