    No point in being obsessed at becoming a "better" rider, when in you're own mind you're already a shit hot rider...:lol3 anyway, who can afford to shell out $500 on a course after purchasing an Akro muffler just to annoy @Eaglebeak ...:photog

    Just a short and sweet video of my preferred carrying method for my Skydio 2 autonomous drone. Initially I was putting the drone into a backpack - but this necessitated a larger backpack than I typically prefer to wear. This method of attaching the smaller hard case to the rear of the bike works very well, I can launch the drone quickly and easily and bike drops haven't caused any damage at all to the drone.

    Sorry for the delay on this one; here's some of the best footage from three separate Skydio 2 flights while riding Skytrek Trail @ Willow Springs Station, Flinders Ranges.

    I'm still waiting for the vid of our last ride with you guys in the Grampians.:1drink

    The drone footage is awesome Tori. The cinematics are amazing with that thing.
    Need to mix it up with a bit of action and potty mouth though I reckon. Always enjoy your colourful commentary.

    Keep them coming.

    Tori loved the panoramic shots of the last vid ,that vastness to me typifies the Aussie outback ,
    and gives Dans prisoner's something to look forward to after we finish our sentence in the big house.

    Hey Tori, I was looking through Gumtree at parts and accesories the other day and at the bottom Torimoto were the first three ads.

    Hey guys,

    Apologies for the delay in getting this next installment out.

    This is some great action camera footage of the Mount Gill Track - some of which you've no doubt seen in an earlier Skydio moto short.

    Mount Gill Track is private access only, and bookings can be made with Stoney Steiner : (08) 8675 2770 or by email : warraweena@internode.on.net

    This is the track that Lisa crashed on, she was a trooper and managed to ride back to camp - very sore. She had about 3-4 weeks off the bike after this little incident, but I'm happy to report she has made a full recovery and her and the CRF are riding again!!

    Stay tuned for more adventures! Cheers and happy trails, Tori & Lisa

    Last blast in the Flinders - this is a short ride to Nungawurtina Hut (and back) at the excellent Alpana Station.

    Sally and Dave run a great farm stay, whether you're bush camping, or after accommodation options. It's also dog friendly and doesn't have any 1080 spread about, as other stations do!

    Hey Hoots - yep, it's fantastic. I just lament that my other bikes don't have one!!

    Lisa and I had a fantastic day of enduro riding in the Wycheproof area last week. I got tons of usable footage; and I'll be editing and uploading perhaps a half-dozen clips from the day into short vids. This is the first installment - we met up with some local riders and chased them around. We tried to keep up with the Young Guns and get some good footage. Hope you enjoy :-)

    Dodgy Youtube channels everywhere nowadays, Tori. Looked like some great tracks. What's the old clapped out farm bike you own?

    We don't have it any longer Barry - it was an old K100 (Kawasaki farm bike) which I learned to ride on as a kid. I wasn't strong enough to pick it back up if I dropped it, I had to walk home and then get dad to come out and help me pick it up.
