This Tiny Part Nearly Ruined Everything 😱

The bike’s first problem in Australia is… not even mine! 🛠️🐱

In this motorcycle adventure travel vlog across Australia, trouble hits early — but it’s Ken’s Yamaha Tenere 700 that’s in the hot seat. A stubborn oil drain plug (yes, the one you really don’t want to strip!) refuses to cooperate, turning a simple service into a mini mechanical saga. 🏍️🔧

We roll up our sleeves at Christopher’s place to sort it out, with tools, patience, and just a bit of head scratching. While we’re at it, Christopher’s cats become unexpected co-stars — curious, demanding, and clearly in charge of the garage. 🐾

But the real milestone of this episode? Picking up Camely, my own Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid, fresh from Australian customs. After weeks apart since Malaysia, finally being reunited feels like the true start of my epic ride through South and Western Australia.

From mechanical motorcycle problem-solving to furry distractions, this episode is a mix of real-world travel challenges, behind-the-scenes bike life, and the joy of getting back in the saddle. The journey and overland adventure has officially begun — and the road ahead promises much more adventure.
