Now that Matt has had an Australian Adventure Riding practice run, link to that video below, we headed off for an overnighter North of Sydney. The plan was to do an Adventure Ride go through the Watagan's, end up in Cessnock for lunch then back down through Wollombi to St Abans to camp overnight. The rain returned just as we were departing which had us changing plans before we even got on the bikes. Little did we know that the rain was going to be a minor challenge in comparison to the other challenges we would encounter throughout the day. 0:00 - Where to begin 2:14 - The original plan 3:55 - Red Hill Road 15:37 - I stacked it 20:45 - Everything's going wrong 22:45 - Murrays Run 24:25 - The wrong decision 26:38 - Is Yango Road Closed? 29:47 - Water Crossing 37:11 - The last bit 38:36 - East to Lake Macquarie If you'd like to support us, put some fuel in our tank for the next adventure. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/motorides_aus We also have launched memberships to support the channel and the MotoRides.com.au website.

What is the Cornerman, or Cornermarking System, and how does it work? How does Navigating large adventure riding groups work? What are the Lead, Sweep and Cornerman riders? The Cornerman System is a process for a large group of riders to remain together while navigating through roads or trails. It’s a great way to follow a route led by a lead rider without needing devices such as GPS or mobiles. If you’ve heard the term and Google it, it’s not a device at all; it’s a process. 0:00 - Introduction 0:25 - How it works 0:58 - How to use it 2:07 - Advantages 2:26 - Disadvantages 2:52 - Conclusion If you'd like to support us, put some fuel in our tank for the next adventure. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/motorides_aus We also have launched memberships to support the channel and the MotoRides.com.au website.

#AdventureRiding #GoProANZ Part 1: https://youtu.be/e1Pqa5Bi1uw After Part 1 where we tried out a technical trail following Leets Creek, we now crossed the Webbs Creek Ferry to follow Wheelbarrow Ridge Trail. This is more open road style dirt rather than technical but it's a good opportunity to understand the bike some more and get used to how it feels at speed on the unpaved surface.

I've previously talked about the legislation surrounding GoPro's mounted on the helmet and how that is a very grey area because of the lack of definition. You can see that video here from 2019, the legislation has not changed since so it's still relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgIcTv3dI6Q This study and its resulting document have just been released and it's a good result for Australian motorcyclists. https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/downloads/safety-impact-helmet-attachments.pdf 00:00 - Intro 00:08 - I'm no lawyer 00:40 - What the Legislation says 01:22 - The actual argument 02:04 - What is different now? 02:43 - Key points in the document If you'd like to support us, put some fuel in our tank for the next adventure. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/motorides_aus We also have launched memberships to support the channel and the MotoRides.com.au website.
