Can't go past eggs on bread for breakfast when camping. Thanks for watching.😀

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.

@@robertmauter6493 thanks for watching. We certainly have fun on the tours. 👍

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

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it amusing, I enjoyed putting the edit together it brought back a lot of great memories.

@@muddyfilms2632 it was a serious side step, there’s no arguing that.

@@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.

@@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. 🤦‍♂️

@@Tassiedave sorry it took so long Dave. 👍

Glad you enjoyed the video Ben, thanks for watching. Sky Trek was a ripper track. 👍😁

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.

Thanks for watching you are very generous with your Legend comment.🤣

It's held in the Otways near Barwon Downs in April.

Gidday Leigh, thanks for your kind comment, if you are ever in the area, make a beeline for Skytrek you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for watching👍

Thanks you'll love the sound of the pipe, I still smile everytime I start the bike.👍

It was a great site being so close to the camp kitchen, loved the whole Willow Springs experience. Thanks for watching.👍

Thanks for taking the time to watch and write a comment, it certainly is a special place.

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.👍

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!

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.👍

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.

Thanks Bob, it’s awesome you’d love it if your in the area, definitely have a look at it. 👍

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 track and the Mt Samuel track are a must. 👍 enjoy your time there.

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.

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
