Simpson Desert double crossing 'unsupported' ! 

Well done the pair of you. As a dirt rider for the last 50 years, I felt every inch of your trip, due in no small part to your quality filming and editing. Thanks for you efforts.

I can remember about two weeks ago being at Poeppels Corner when two hot bike riders appeared and collapsed in the shade of the shelter shed. I'm glad you enjoyed the two cans of Coke from my fridge, you really looked like you could use a cold drink........

Thanks grant for posting this video, I was apart of the the 6 bikes and 3 4x4 group, my son who is 6 will love watching this. It was hard but rewarding and a pleasure meeting you guys.

From not doing much sand riding to a double crossing is a big deal Grant! Nice work gents!

As someone who will never get to see this part of our amazing country, thanks for sharing your trip. Just finished watching and it looked hard but fun. Well done to both of you. Well earned beers. 🍻

Great vid! thanks for the laughs, can't wait to see the next trek.👍

Good work Grant! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Thanks for the excellent video. A truly epic adventure by you two and great to watch.

It was great to meet you Grant & Adrian. Solid effort with the crossing! - Isabelle from Mt Dare

Great achievement guys, always wanted to do it, sadly I'm too old now. Love watching others take it on, great filming, great music, all up a great watch 👍

Good video, keep them coming!

I enjoyed every minute of your trip, thanks guys, so inspiring 👍

Awesome work lads. Loved it. Can't wait for the next adventure..... LOL 🤙

Mate, respect. A single crossing with vehicle support is challenging enough, but you two made the right choice of bikes in the WR250s and a double crossing unsupported, the ultimate challenge is now knocked over. Well done.

Two dudes in the desert, only one of us is wearing pants... classic! Thanks for the great vid.

Epic you guys, really enjoyed you’re BIG adventure, it’s so much easier watching it over a cuppa in the morning, but not as much fun, I know👍

Grant what an epic video mate. Loved seeing you on 2 wheels

Most people would say riding a motorcycle across the simpson desert was crazy but i think those hikers take the cake by a mile... Cheers 4 sharing sir.

Bloody awesome.. hope there’s some more coming

Great video mate, great to see a nice lightweight setup and you two absolutely smashed it.

Well done Grant, have been across a couple of times on bikes, the second time we had support and were on the wr250r's, nothing better than an ice cold can of coke with lunch during a hot day riding in the sand, it was so good we kept going and did the Madigan line ! Well done

Awesome video Grant! I just picked up a WR250R, so I'm looking forward to one day crossing the Simpson!

This is incredible. What a feat. I feel like we were there with you the whole way!

Fantastic! Hoping to do this when I move back to Aus.

Bloody ripper mate it’s a cracking ride gets the nerves going though ,you smashed it .well done cheers

This is bloody awesome, please do more Grant.

Great trip mate, bloody fantastic!!! I hope we get to see more because this seriously put a solid smile on my face. Legend!!

Well done!!! I have been following along listening to the podcast. So glad you posted this for us all to see 😁

Well done to both, awesome viewing!

interesting documentary,pair of larikins seeing our beautiful country,well done lads.👍🏍🏍

I’ve only gone to poppels crn in a 4wd. But watching this makes me want to do this on a bike also. This is on my bucket list on a bike now. And the night stars are amazing. Great movie Mate.

What a fantastic effort you guys. Tough going but how much fun.

Congrats on your double crossing Guys 👍👍🍻🍻

Great video. you made it look easy. Looking forward to more GD adventures

good call on nice light bikes and not overloaded, making it look easy :-)

''and thats how ppl die in the desert'' LOLz loved that bit hahahaha

Good on you guys have a blast 👍👍🏍🏍

Well done guys very enjoyable video great camera work. Like you I took a bike through with out much sand riding experience the first time. It gets easier one of my favourite places 👍

Great video!

Grant what an epic ride, well done, every time I saw the Just 1sticker I expected to see the Just Cuts logo😃

Iv just started watching this, great video. Can you do a gear and setup rundown?

Congrats on what must have been a daunting trip. I've done it in my car and thought the guys unsupported on bikes were either mad or just plain legends.

A great video, well done Grant and Adrian. That trip would certainly test a dodgy back. I was really concerned you were going to collide with vehicles coming the other way.

This was so awesome to watch! I'd love to give something like this a go... Chuck some off road tyres on my Tracer 9 GT and off I go 🤣. So you've done the desert, now you need to come to Tassie for a winter Moto-camping adventure 😉.

Well done mate!!🍺👍

Great video👍

I'm currently watching Terry from JAFFFA Adventures do a bike crossing with a few of his buddies... I've sent this to him as I think he'll enjoy this...

Yer Grant that was awesome 💯fun🤙🏼

Well done, fellas. Oz,Oz, Oz 👍

Great video buddy awesome

Great Work mate. Do you have any video of setting up the bikes and all the gear that you took.

Sorry mate Big Red is not highest dune in southern hemisphere. Dune 7 in Namibia is +360metres high.

Looks like Greg from Ride ADV did a great job setting the bike up for the Simpson. Thought you'd take a Tenere since you did the Tragics ride on one.

Senbloodysational!!!!

‘Haven’t done much sand riding’ really? You’re fast learners! Great vid guys, really unusual to see a whole crossing in one vid on yt👍

Exactly what happened to my Rotopax on the crossing and I had already upgraded to a high tensile bolt. I had an Andy Strapz wrapped around it just in case...word.

Very entertaining 👍

Piss of piss now. Three weeks ago a 72 yo rider did a double crossing of the Simplson, unsupported, Mt Dare-Big Red-Mt Dare in three days. Its like Everest...everyone has done it.

Good stuff, I pulled into Wyndorah pub at about 10pm after driving for about 14 hours sat down to a beer and a pie and some dude just came to my table utterly convinced he wanted to fight me for zero reason. His wife kept pulling him back and his mates kept apologising but they just let him keep pestering me for about 45 minutes until I finished and left. Some of these small towns could kick ass and get way more business if they just weren't knobs. I know I wont go to that pub again.

Well Look who's on RU-vid Looking forward to seeing this channel grow from Sub No. 426. Some Bathurst content too pls

Well done

Good onya great effect you 2

Great video Grant, you said you hadn't had much sand riding experience at Big Red, I bet you are an expert now. I would like to know some stats of the trip please, like total fuel used, how many flats, how much water etc.

I loved the 80's porn music at the start and then some Scottish music by mid way. Brilliant

How bout that weather Grant !!!

What a fantastic effort, What was the sleeping bag you were using? It looked light and comfy.

Looks like you were doing a bit of sole searching sometimes

Well done boys. It’s a great feat doing it one way unsupported but to do it both ways is awesome. I would love to know your camera setup. Is it a gimbal? It looks fantastic. I’m riding 10 deserts in June 23 and would love to get footage as clean as yours

i rode across in november on my drz400e, much harder work doing it on the little wr250r and crossing twice.

Hi mate. How much fuel did you go through on the east to west leg? Doing this in July and same bike so would be great to know.

East to west that’s the real hard way don’t want to bye them bikes un ser ported to me means no one out there at all but that would be very silly thing to do an dangerous you boys are doing very well

That's a long way just to get a VB. I mean, if it was a Reschs Pilsener or a Coopers I would understand.

Great vid grant, loved watching it. How much fuel did you use each way.

Love it. Recently got a Just1 helmet myself and Im very happy with it (built in sunglasses on mine lol) Im vertically challenged like yourself and recently bought a new dr650 - tips of my tiptoes to reach the ground hahahaha (its got x2 height settings though i can drop it 1.6inches by moving x1 bolt and might do that) is your wr250r stock height or you change linkages? Thats one hell of a introduction to sand riding. I did about 500km of stockton beach on a cheap dirtbike to learn sand, its kinda opposite to what you think hey (eg if you start to get the wobbles go faster lols "if in doubt throttle out" lols)

how was the noise from the dirt bike helmet going 100km/h for hours on end? gonna be going from melbourne to simpson soon and cant decide on whether to take my adventure helmet or dirt bike helmet. Did you wear earplugs?

Now try the Canning Stock Route.

Gutsy effort. I would be happy with 1 way but 2?? 👍

Can you get uhf kits for bikes? I’ve watched a few 4x4 videos of this trip and they’re always on the uhf when they’re cresting those big blind dunes .

You did this on 250s?? Oh my.

Bet the arm pump was bad

Not exactly stock bikes. What are the mods?

Joli

😎🤙😎🤙

go grant

Weird question...are you on TikTok?

Great video Boys book to do 2025 june 21

Love this!! Definitely living life to the fullest 🤙 Have you seen the save our trails movement currently happening in NSW? It would be awesome if you could get behind this as a fellow motorcyclist ! Heres the 7 news segment from a week ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yr8eKCuV9iA.html Cheers Grant, Keep Ripping!

Sounds like the Yamaha’s need a 6th gear!

Broke back sand dune???? Put some pants on lol

You act like it’s life or death out there laying it on way to thick.

I soon will do a triple crossing with no shirt on..😎

How come your friend Adrian helped you so many times. You were incapable to help him pushing the bike up the sand dune. You were just laughing like a little prince..

Bet the arm pump was bad
