Hey Craig , 3rd time watching this series now mate, when are you doing some more stuff? Cheers cobber

Where are you Shadower we miss your adventures!

Love all your vids man alot of hrs at work watching em mate think I've watch em all 3 times over be good to see more by fare my favourite adventure blogger bike rider by fare still watching an checking to see if you up load more

Shame you couldn't do the Frenchman's tract. Advise... do it from east to west. Next time make your way out elim bay just out from hope Vale. Ducks nuts area. Stay at eddy's camp ground..... Beach ride with coloured sands hills.

Coming from a bike rider that has done the cape dozens of times, great show. 2026 is my next trip there. To up date with the second plane wreck... (ford bomber) it was sitting at the air strip when Japanese zeros flew in and strap the airport with their machine guns damaging the plane beyond repair. After removing usable parts from the plane they place the wreckage out where it sits now. PS... half way along the dumped fuel drums there is a cock pit of a kitty hawk. Half way between the airport and the east coast is another kitty hawk plane wreck in mangrove swomp area surrounded by land mines still today. (Restricked area)

This was an awesome series. 👍 I miss your videos. You always bring a positive attitude toward life and riding.

Loved the series. We are doing the Simpson Desert in 2.5 months' time. What gearing did you use on the Kato 690 would love to find out?

It,s been a while two years since the last video😢 anybody know what happened. Love the video,s thats why ,any new video soon,that would make my day.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Wow Fantastic stuff

Awsome

This is great just found it , do you still have the 1190?

I wonder if you might find you don't need those 1/4" extension bars.... Seems the usual reasoning is "to get at those tricky hard-to-reach fasteners" but in my experience the designers appear to be making life easier for mechanics in that everything is easier to reach than in the good old days. Worth having a canter around the bike trying to find if you do indeed have any hard-to-reach fasteners that you would tackle on the trail. My DRZ cylinder head bolts are easier with a 4" extension but no way I'm going to be doing that in the field, so it stays on the bench at home ...

Hi Craig, hope you’re well. Quick question what time of the year did you go on this trip? Also, any plans for a future trip?

My shims sit so deep in the cup that I cannot get the measurement tool to fit properly. Does this mean my valves need to be replaced?

Hey there awesome videos, myself and a few friends are wanting todo the same but from Melbourne already have the boxes for the bikes but am struggling to find someone to post the bikes from here up to cairns, do you have a contact you could share with myself ? I called direct freight but they are saying I need an account with them.

Cool video. Is it possible to use a clip from this for a documentary?

exactly the video I was looking for NICE! I just been there 4 days ago turned around at the white car.. it's still there. alone on a 790.. lot of trouble to get back up from the white car.. it ate my whole confidence :D

hey man been 2 years u ok ?

Whos the miserable mole watching at cockatoo Creek crossing 😅

Great video! I feel like we should know each other. I love bikes and I saw and outboard in the corner of your workshop. Hornsby Procycles is my local store.

Dude...the only way you got this is the guy in the yellow shirt has MONSTER legs!! I bet you could have just put it on his back he looks so strong! :) Nice video.

This might be a dumb question, but why did you change the gap from minimum to maximum? Wouldn't the shims/rockers/valves wear out over time increasing the gap anyway?

Awesome adventure Craig and great series thanks Fella. I felt for you picking up bikes in the desert but it all looked worth it. Stay safe, cheers Roey

Great adventure and thanks for sharing it with the rest of us!

Nerbs definitely not the first ktm1190r across the Simpson

Brill vids i was hooked from start to finsh . No house work done for two days had to watch all episode"s, wife not amused , 😆😆

Hello, I have a 690 Enduro R 2020 with 5000 km and I am convinced that I need to change the rocker arms. is it possible?

Where do you pack this? Especially when you are riding without your luggage. For instance on a day ride/loop when all your gear is at the camping

I´ve got to say, I´m gratefull that you were able to share this trip through these videos. I feel like I watch this whole series every year, it´s the 4th time, and this is my favourite part. It´s strange to feel connected to someone attempting Big Red and I wish to be able to meet it some day, even though I live in the complete opposite side of the planet. Thank you for the wonderfull display of respect to others, nature and life. Many have commented on this, one way or another, so it´s no coincidence, we all feel your positivity and great perspective. Thanks to Tom and Nerb as well, it was through their videos that I started watching your channel. Cherrs!!

Where are you?...not riding anymore?

Did that track in summer, 45c but in a 4wd with no ac. Wow be a heap of fun on a bike

When I crossed the Daintree in a 4wd after a week of rain, the water was up to my bonnet, and my bonnet is high, patrol with 35" tires, how would you guys have managed if the river was that high? Or do you pick trips when the river is low? I actually seen a group of riders while I was there, not sure how they crossed the river

What kind of fuel range do you need to do this trip?

Your video series on Cape York has underpinned our own crews trip to the Cape this September. Watching it again and again for research. Top job. Hopefully we can post a successful vid for others on our size bikes. Love to know how you managed to get the comms from the others on your gopro. 👍🏼 Oh and BTW we bought an icemule and started quaffing jimmies 😉as preparation.

Love this, brings back so many good memories of doing the same trip in August '22, i stayed in that end room at Loyalty Beach.... how good was the Fish and Chips!. That place did something to my Soul, it changed me as a person. I will hopefully get back up there again next year.... Shadower75 thanks for sharing this mate. As with all of your videos, they're always top quality content...thanks for the memories.

Hi there Craig. I stumbled across your channel some months back and have now watched every single one of your vids. Loved the trip to the cape and your euro trip was amazing.. me and a mate are gonna do that one some day soon. I’m in Adelaide and yiur googs track one was also tops!! Any new adventures coming soon? Love your work .. Nikko

Wet boots good drowning bike bad

What a brilliant vid Dave thanks for taking the time to put it together and sharing 😁🤟❤️

Gday Craig. Just watched your Cape York trip from start to finish.. absolutely epic! Back here watching this one now.. laughed till I cried after watching poor Greg go for that spill.. Great work on the production and look forward to more vids in the future. I ride a 22 KTM 1290 SAR.. 690 is a beautiful bike.. go Katos! Cheers Nik

No valve check on this job?

A joy to watch, thanks for the effort that went into sharing. Out on interest, how did you keep all the Go pro accessories charged along the way,. Doing this trip in June, albeit an organised one, still looking forward to it. Cheers mate.

Hanging out for new videos Craig. Loved watching every video you have uploaded

Just watched this and loved it. Brought back memories as I did it solo on my DRZ400 a few years back. You made the right choice. Hardest track I ever did - lost gear, injured myself, nearly ran out of water - but I made it after two days. Not bad for a 60yo unfit fool. Strongly recommend don’t do this one alone…

You and a few others have influenced me and get me to get off my butt and get my license and start adv riding. Bought myself a Husqvarna 701 LR and currently working on my license. Awaiting new videos :P Long time.... =D

You didn't check the valve clearance.

Ha mate, what a great ride, inspirational.

Are there any rebars in the brick posts? the bricks have strong supporting strength but the bending power is weak. this is very dangerous.

Great video. How long did the old coach road take you all up on the bikes mate?

Looking forward to the videos of this trip, hopefully it’s not to far away in the future mate!
