    Yeah I've looked at that terrible start to the track you stopped at... looked only, haha! I had a half-assed look for Scout Falls too - was several years ago, and I don't remember finding any signs for it, and by the looks, it's a bit of a local hidden gem really. Well worth the rock scramble to get there Phil!!

      Hi David. Definitely needs that 17 litre tank put on asap...lol As for the Hwy, 90 kph is the sweet spot with the current gearing, so ok for me, not ideal for most I'd say.

    Thanks for posting another excellent vid. New bike WOW ! It’s s always a magic moment. 👍🏽 I’ve yet to do any beach riding. How do you look after the chain? My bike is a Honda CB500X ( 2020 model 19” front wheel running Mitas EO7+ tyres) Do you reckon a bike like mine would be OK on the beach ?

    • @MidCoastAdventures
      @MidCoastAdventures День тому

      Hi Sean, thanks mate, appreciate the kind words👍 As for the chain, first off, don't ride in the saltwater, second pre-spray it with a non stick type lubricant, and give the entire bike a good hose down once home. Then WD spray on any metal bits. The CBX would be fine on a beach, just expect some hardship getting on and off if the access points are chewed out or step. Low tide only first time. And go with a mate. Cheers 🍻

    Love the drz Phil! Tossed up between one of them and the dr650 in 2020 and the Tanami pack swayed onto the Dr. No regets as I do long highway miles some times and don't tend to do single track stuff. All the companies spending big dollars on developing mid size bikes and Suzuki has been here all along! Update them with a 6 speed and efi please!

    • @MidCoastAdventures
      @MidCoastAdventures День тому

      Cheers John! I did miss my 650. Loved the little Rally - 17,000 kays of super fun adventures. It's hard to pass up torque and raw power, the DR's are pretty bloody impressive machines! The DRZ's or off the Suzuki website, so either no longer available in Aus soon, or (very optimistic thought) they are revamping them as the true do everything ADV bike they could be.
