Adventure bike shred session with Adam Riemann and Ben Townley

Pull it up, pull it up, pull it up, pull it up boy! Good lad! Dropped the rear wheel over, didn't you? Oh, he's having a bit of a dig. Yeah, let's go. Oh, BT's having a bit of a dig. I love the blind corners like that, eh? Where you just start and that's it, you're in a... Come in. Here's a blind one coming up, ready? Start. Yes! You were totally full locked then. You had it to the stops. Once you're in, you're in. You had it to the friggin' stops there. I like those blind ones, the blind ones are the best. They really get the heart rate up. You know you're living then, Barry. Yep. Oh, a bit of a step down. Yeah, we don't often get Brock in the middle of the corner and he's on it, I'm honest. Blinding with these tyres and the thing gets that good traction, it takes the weight off the front wheel and just understeers it a bit. Watch out, watch out. Yeah, bit of a hole. Yeah. Only when you come in early and you sort of hurry down in. See, I run a Michelin Anarchy Wild and I have so much confidence as I go into the turn to brake hard. And lean into it. Let the brake go and then just steer with the rear after that, you know. Yeah, actually lean into it. Yeah, whereas I don't have much confidence with these to do that. Yeah, they're very street oriented like. Sure, yeah. You only have to take one look at it to know that. Yeah. And they insist on running these sort of tyres. All the manufacturers do it. Right. They go for this real, like they put, the good thing is they put. Here we go, here we go. They put the off-road geometry and performance and suspension travel and all that into the bike for riders like you and I that want to ride like this. But then they release them from standard in a gentle touring setup. Yeah. You know these. For the masses. Bald tyres. Whoa. Did I cause that? A lay there down. A legitimate lay down. Talking about tyres. Oh, the key's got to come off. And then back on. Did I cause that? Not really. Oh. I lost comm so I didn't hear it. You've got to turn your ABS off. Yeah, I do. It's going to neutral. There's no way we're going down here like that. Okay, back on. We're back on. Business as usual. Take the shortcut. On the left. Shortcut on the left. Yeah, that's my main issue with these touring tyres is exactly that. Shortcut on the left. Oh, yes. Yes. Let's have it. And then hip it onto the road. Nice little hip onto the road. Yes. Attaboy. See, if we were on our own mission right now. If we were on our own mission, we'd have been down there. Yeah, exactly. I folded my brake lever a bit in that lay down. Oh. I like it when you fold it up a little bit. They're too low, these. It is actually. In that regard, it's quite good. Just giving it a perk. Like a little titty job, basically. Oh, we've got some blue groove. Yeah. You can really get stuck in there. It's a fairly sketchy surface. I was going to go left and cut that. It's hard to know how much traction we have here. Yeah, they're definitely not my favourite tyres, I'll say that much. I'm going to ride the rail here. They're getting the job done. Look at that. Beautiful. I bet you could go straight ahead here. Yeah. Up and over. Yeah. And over. Some of the boys have been getting a bit of back chat there. Laying blackies in the clay. This would be so slick in the wet. Oh. Brown ice. Here we go. We're back on a bit of rubble. Yeah, yeah. Bit of drift. Oh, look at that. 20 drift. Someone's really crossed the centreline like that guy just then. All right, let's get it together. Ready, set, go. Oh. Oh, and again. Oh, look at him go. Oh, mine hooked up then. Oh, here we go. Here we go. This is us. Yes, mate. I suspect they've gone left and they haven't given a **** about us. They haven't given a flying ****. Haven't given a ******* rat's ass. Look at this up here. This is cool. I think we've got us a photo op. Let's come in real hot, like super hot. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, dude. Yeah, yeah, it's all good. Let's come in super hot. The whole crew's here, jittering around.
