Mile Munchin' Tour Fun and Fails – 2020 to 2024
I've witnessed plenty of weird and wonderful stuff in over four years of running motorbike tours. Recently while I was editing a tour video I had the idea to compile the crashes and fun moments that I and others from my tours had captured on video. The result is this video, it was a quite a bit of work and I'm sure I've missed some funny moments and crashes from the hundreds of hours of footage that has been captured. But one thing is for sure this video captures quite well, the fun we have on the tours. Enjoy!

This video was from a tour in December 2022, yes I'm a little behind with my videos, what can I say I've been busy. This tour was a little different because on the Thursday afternoon before the tour I got a phone call from the accommodation we had booked in Dargo for Saturday night to say they had COVID through the place and couldn't accommodate us. After a few phone calls I was able to organis...

With a packed field of guests this Little Desert tour brought together the fastest group of riders we've ever had. This kept Paul (our lead rider) on his toes and did make it hard to catch some of the guys to get footage, but when I did get the footage it was epic.

Part 2 of our August 6/7 tour got off to an interesting start when Dickie one of my regular sweep riders noticed he hardly had any teeth left on his rear sprocket. That was after he noticed his rear brake pads were down to the metal on day 1. Not great maintenance from Dickie, don't worry we let him have it, there is nothing like sticking the boot into a mate when he is down is there? He felt b...

Another tour of the Little Desert and the Big Desert Wilderness area. We experienced quite the varied weather on this trip, bright sunshine, sun showers to heavy rain and everything in between. The heavy rain before the tour meant the sand tracks were prime for riding but we did have plenty of large muddy puddles to deal with which at the end of the day added to the adventure. Thank you to my t...

Tenere 700 Black Widow Exhaust Sound Test

After an exhaustive amount of research, "pardon the pun" I decided to purchase a Black Widow exhaust for my Tenere 700. The value of these exhausts were so good that I infact purchased two different exhausts. I couldn't quite make my mind up, so I thought what the hell, lets purchase both and do a sound test and then decide. Black Widow is a UK business, so purchasing the second exhaust saved a...

In March 2022 while riding at the OpenRoads Rally I got a little carried away on a track jumping the erosion washouts. When I landed after a washout my back wheel skipped out a little and my change came off.

Fun watching. River/creek crossings in the dark…….that’s ballsy.
Great film and eggs on bread too. My favourite breakfast. ❤
Can't go past eggs on bread for breakfast when camping. Thanks for watching.😀
Funny stuff! Proof that the number one cause of single vehicle motorbike crashes is a video camera.
So true, my tour guests start to think when I've pulled over to film them that something hard is coming up, a steep hill or a creek and they start to get worried, ha ha.
A lot of fun to say the least, no pain no gain, as always enjoy your channel
@@robertmauter6493 thanks for watching. We certainly have fun on the tours. 👍
I should join you for some of your tours so you can make it a feature length film with all my crashes and mishaps! 😛
Are you still doing to 2day Otway tour rod?
Hello Travis, at the moment I'm in the process of working out a new Otway Tour Route, they have closed so many roads it was time for a redesign. Hopefully for 2025 I'll get a 2 day Otway tour back into the calendar.
@@MileMunchinAdventures got to enjoy a day out a few years back really enjoyed the day ride 👍 look forward to coming along again. Cheers
This was a good laugh...... Because I've been there many times 😄
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it amusing, I enjoyed putting the edit together it brought back a lot of great memories.
That was an incredible watch, I’m loving your productions. I had a 25yr gap in bike ownership, bought an F650GS November just gone, did Skytrek (up until my clutch died 3/4 the way up, Brendan had to recover me.. what a legend!)… I got back home, bought an FE501… happy days! I’d love to attend one of your rides. You owe Scooter a fresh engine rebuild 🤣🥳
Good stuff Rodney.
Great to see those hills again! Looks like a great ride
Great vid, and a good crew
29:29 that was a wild ride! She kicked me like a bronco! 😂
@@muddyfilms2632 it was a serious side step, there’s no arguing that.
Change the speed to 2x and it skins like a normal person talking.
I sure wished I could come there and test my skills, Rod how hell are you, hope your doing well down under, you guys seem like you all have an awesome time, if money was no object I’d be setting something up with you, oh well maybe another time. Me and my buddy leave in a few days to do our epic trip west then up into the Yukon then Alaska, so always look forward to our yearly trips, just a few days off yet, will be putting these roadsides to the test, might even force ourselves a little further and get to the arctic circle, anyway as always enjoy your amazing videos, thanks Rod, hang in there. Rob U.S.
@@robertmauter6493 thanks for watching Rob, your trip sounds amazing, I wish I could afford to get over and ride that area. I guess we are both pretty lucky that we’ve got such great terrain to ride and explore.
Another awesome tour. Had a lot of fun on that one. Thanks for the tour and for sharing.
@@muddyfilms2632 thanks for being a part of it Leigh. Sorry it took so long to get the film out.🤣
@@MileMunchinAdventures all good mate, I know what it's like. I'm over 6 months behind myself. Catch ya soon.
@@muddyfilms2632 6 months is nothing, I’m 2 years behind. I just realised I haven’t done the video from a Feb 2022 tour. 🤦♂️
Another good one Rod, great memories
@@Tassiedave sorry it took so long Dave. 👍
This has reminded me that if you’re going off road fit a chain guide no matter what the bike.👍
Looks and sounds great! Any idea how much lighter it is than the stock unit?
Top notch vid champ,well done.. Was up there 2days ago,you captured it well. We didn't make it up the Flintstones hill as my mate came off,then burned out the clutch and wore me out helping. I went back for help and Brendan the Legend picked him up in the near dark.
Glad you enjoyed the video Ben, thanks for watching. Sky Trek was a ripper track. 👍😁
I know it has nothing to do with it, but I saw that you cut the tubes attached to the passenger footrests of the luggage rack. How is it going? Any problems with load?
Thanks for watching and sending a question. To date I haven’t had any issues at all. It’s very strong without those supports.
@@MileMunchinAdventures ok thanks. I'll do the same because it's very noisy that in off road stand this tubes touch my legs.
Great story ❤
Looks and sound great 👏
Legend ! 🤙🤙
Thanks for watching you are very generous with your Legend comment.🤣
Great stuff. Did your rib heal in time for the race?
Where is this held ?
It's held in the Otways near Barwon Downs in April.
Hi there, what was the product code of the exhaust? Was it SC30H by chance?
What a special place to ride. Thanks Rod for taking the time to share with us. Great stuff mate!
Gidday Leigh, thanks for your kind comment, if you are ever in the area, make a beeline for Skytrek you won't be disappointed.
Gracias por el consejo 👍💪 bonita experiencia la que tuvieron por esos campos
*Promo SM*
Thanks Mate !
What's with the riding on great Ocean road ya flog
Beautiful stuff. Enjoyed all of this.
Thanks for watching👍
Great video mate, just ordered the same pipe.
Thanks you'll love the sound of the pipe, I still smile everytime I start the bike.👍
I camped at the very same site in 2021 with a few mates that all came over from Perth and 1 from Adelaide. The Sky Trek was a great ride and the last section was a real challenge at the end of the ride. The whole Flinders is an amazing adventure destination.
It was a great site being so close to the camp kitchen, loved the whole Willow Springs experience. Thanks for watching.👍
thank you
Did this in September with my brother. Africa Twin and a T7. Amazing place. I made a youtube video of it. You did better. Great work.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and write a comment, it certainly is a special place.
Once again you never fail to deliver great video, at the beginning you pointed out some dickhead that loves to screw with things that were done many many years before, these might be same dickheads from our country. Your country is world class when it comes to exploring all, between your videos and your other fellow countryman the guy on his warhorse as he calls it, it’s all truly epic to see such a country, only wish I was there to go on one of your tours. Anyway outstanding video as always. Rob from U.S.
Thanks for your kind comments, we are very lucky in Australia that’s for sure and you are correct in saying there are dickheads all over the world.😂 hopefully I’ll keep bringing more adventures from Australia in the near future I’ve got some big plans ahead.👍
Gas gas man here from the border track tour 2023, I’ve done this track on the gassy and loved it also! Any chance of a video on our tour?
Still working my way through the tour videos I’ll get there eventually😂 they take a fair bit of work, yes the Sky Trek is a track not to be missed.👍
@@MileMunchinAdventures thanks rod! Will be on the high country tour asap!
Would have been heaps better without the music.
Thanks for your opinion, I prefer the video with music that’s why I use music. Thanks for watching. 👍😀
@MileMunchinAdventures Yeah, it ain't my thing. I prefer to listen to the sound of the bikes, but hey, each to their own, the riding was fun to watch and looks like the kind of high country riding I'd enjoy doing so once I've got the rec rego on my bike I'll look up your business and book a trip.
@@n.tfisho6491 quite often the wind noise through the GoPro is not great so it’s better to put music over the section but I do like to include the sound of the bike when it comes through well in the recording.👍
Loved the wedge tail eagle part. I did the same trip on my dr650 even went the wrong way like you. Great area the Flinders
Skytrek is good, boring in some spots but the tough up hill section can be hard & to be honest Mt Samuel is a better ride
I rode Mt. Samuel the next day it was amazing also. I’ll be putting a video out on that ride too. I rode it a bit quicker because it getting towards the end of the day. Great spot the Flinders Ranges.
thankyou
Really enjoyed that. Added to bucket list.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video Rodney. What an epic motorcycle adventure! Flinders Ranges are so impressive, but that Skytrek was very interesting. Thanks for sharing! 👍😁
Thanks Bob, it’s awesome you’d love it if your in the area, definitely have a look at it. 👍
Lol
Yep sure is 6:28
Ha ha, very good 😂
@@MileMunchinAdventures thought it would make ya laugh
@@MileMunchinAdventures what you riding a Lyndon Poskit replica bike
@@cliff1551 the colour is certainly similar. 😜👍
This video is perfect timing, im about to head off to flinders ranges after christmas 😂
This track and the Mt Samuel track are a must. 👍 enjoy your time there.
Hi there. I added the original chain guide ordering a new T7. Using it since few days with 500 km on it and the chain does touch the guide making a lot of noise while driving. Is it supposed to be normal for your experience? Best regards
All of my motorbikes have chain guides, so I'm used to the noise, to be honest when I put my chain guide on I couldn't hear the difference. But the chain does touch my chain guide, it might be something you'll get used to. Thanks for watching.
I'm glad you keep saying you believe because it is only what you believe. You wont need to respond to this because it’s what I think, and we are all just sharing what we think I know for a fact Ride adv ran Yamaha XT660s in their tour company for five years without a single chain-related problem, they never had a chain guide. They were credited with over 400,000 accumulated kilometers on that model with no problem. They only do off-road. My BMW 850 and other adventure bikes don’t have a chain guide. Take some ownership of what happened, and be careful of your maintenance like at the 3.39 min mark where it's clear you haven’t even staked the front sprocket nut for example! For your insurance to pay your claim it has to be accident damage, did you claim accident damage because it can’t be the manufacturer's fault because insurance doesn't pay that? Did you put in a false claim?
Firstly thanks for watching my video, you are correct in pointing out what happened is what I believe. I'll respond to a couple of things you have written in your comment. Point No.1: Staking my front sprocket nut, this is not necessary because I use lock-tight on the thread, there is no chance the nut will come loose in fact when I've needed to undo the nut it is been a very difficult job to loosen. Point No. 2: Why are asking me to take ownership of what happened? And why do you think not staking my front sprocket nut has caused this issue, that is a very long bow to draw. Point No. 3: Insurance claim, the damage to the engine was caused by the accident while riding the bike. At no stage did I suggest it was the manufacturer's fault. Have you ever heard of a person putting in a claim to an insurance company claiming it was the manufacturers fault? Surely if I thought it was a manufacturers fault I would be speaking to Yamaha, not my insurance company. Point No. 4: Just because other bikes don't have chain guides and haven't had the same thing occur doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. Ask Greg Yager from Ride ADV if he has put the chain guide on any of his Tenere 700 bikes? I'll answer that for you, he has chain guides on his Tenere 700s. If he wasn't concerned about not having a chain guide then why would he put them on their bikes. Enjoy your riding and once again thanks for watching.
Hi @@MileMunchinAdventures we've just been told about this thread this morning and you've mentioned us so I feel we should respond. Firstly you are wrong about us, yes we do have chain guides on most (not all our 700's) why some and not others? Well, I'm not %100 convinced they need one as pointed out above we did nearly half a million kms on 660s with chain guides and NEVER had a chain drama. We did this when this thread first popped up ages ago. The sprocket nut, you are wrong about the Loctite, it doesn't hold on a 700 we know, we've seen it at the rallies. They are double-staked for good reason. That you can take to the bank. Your insurance claim, what accident? The chain coming off isn't an accident, you say it's because it doesn't have a chain guide that's not by accident. Further that's not something we care about but was interesting how you explained it Poorly maintained chains come off even with guides, and even last ride a guy had a stick jam in his guide that derailed the chain and caused it to come off. Unlucky maybe mate, some times shit just happens. At least it is going again, good luck with it all.
@@rideadvtoursandworkshop3178 well hasn't this discussion turned into a beauty. Why are you suggesting my chain coming off is not an accident? surely you know it is not supposed to come off, this was a brand new chain, with brand new sprockets all checked before this ride. Why are you bothering to question my insurance claim, that is none of your business. I was able to provide photos and footage of the accident to the insurance company and in their opinion it was damage to my motorbike caused by the chain coming off. It might've been a freak accident or if you prefer an incident, but it happened. If you're not sure what the meaning of accident is then I've taken the liberty to copy and paste the meaning from a dictionary. "Accident meaning - an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury." Based on your understanding of an accident I'll use an example of what you are saying. You get a flat tyre while riding around a rocky corner which causes you to fall off and damage your bike, BUT it wasn't an accident because you probably installed the tyre and tube incorrectly or it wasn't maintained properly or you used the wrong tube for such a rough road or you had a road tyre on that was nearly bald. In my case the chain came off because of a number of elements meeting at the exact time, these include: I was riding a very rough road, my rear wheel landed on a rock after jumping the bike over a wash out. The sideways movement caused by landing on a rock combined with the compression of the rear suspension and swing arm, conspired to allow the chain to leave the sprocket. In my opinion (and it's only my opinion) in this situation my chain would've stayed on if I had a chain guide. With the front sprocket nut, clearly in this case my sprocket nut was not loose and had nothing to do with the chain coming off. FYI, you might want to proof read your last comment because I think you meant to say "we did nearly half a million kms on 660s WITHOUT chain guides and never had a chain drama." My comment to this is, that's great you had a good run, no issues and you can be thankful for that. But you said yourself, you're still not convinced the T7 needs a chain guide or not, but it's interesting you were convinced the 660 didn't need one. Why have you put chain guides on some of your T7s? Would if be because the motorbikes are different designs? From my experience, I'm convinced the T7 does need a chain guide and this is why I made the video. I'll use your double-staked comment as reason to back-up my statement. My T7 has done 57,000kms, the sprocket nut has had loctite on it instead of the double-staked method, it has never come loose, does that make my method right or wrong? It has 57,000kms of testing to suggest it works. I'm sure you're aware there are different strength loctite you can buy. You double-stake the sprocket nut for extra strength or support, the same reason I'm suggesting the chain guide is a good idea. This going backwards and forwards over what happened with my T7 is rubbish, you weren't there, I was, I know exactly what happened. I watch your videos and I don't agree with some of things you do or say, but I don't jump onto your You Tube channel and comment that I disagree. I know what I know and you know what you know. I'll still watch your videos and take what I can from them. You keep doing what you do and I'll keep doing what I do and we'll all ride our motorbikes and be happy.
@@MileMunchinAdventures Hey you bought me into this mate when you quoted something about us unresearched and incorrect. I won't even argue/explain your above comments. I saw the original video ages ago and didn't 100% agree but didn't comment because each to their own. Don't be afraid to comment on any of our videos we have multiple people, and multiple bikes and do huge mileages to arrive at our well-tested non-click-baited conclusions. Also, we value a second opinion even if it doesn't agree :). Have a nice day
Awesome.. Thanks! Just checked my stash for the two part epoxy.. chain guide check!
