Personally, I think you do a great job. We're talking motorcycles here. We don't need glitz and groovy graphics. I look for another rider's experience, perspective and ideas. You deliver. Thanks. Keep it up.

Ya done a great job, I liked the ratchet strap idea. Keep rolling along and be safe

i'm glad you're doing what you want and not stressing about feeding the KZfaq monster, but you should know that your videos are just right for some viewers, including me. It's nice to hear someone just talking normally and not trying hype everything up. Enjoy the ride buddy!

I've been an HD guy for 50 years. Added a 2020 1250GSA to the stable I. 2020. My biggest bitch is what you just said. Lack of availability to get maintenance performed. Especially on the road. Having to wait a month for preventive maintenance is ridiculous. Not sure if I'll stick with BMW after I wear this one out. Plus, our local dealership charges $195 an hour in Charlotte, NC. I drive over two hours away to a different dealership just for that reason. BMW needs to do like HD and give priority to a traveling rider. Great job on the video.

Keep making the vids. Nothing to be embarrassed about when we're budget conscious and trying to help folks that are like minded. I see a lot of clean fingernails on YT and they are mostly after a thumbs up for monetary gain. Good work man.

Wow! one of the few people that didn;t use a hammer to bash the axle in. Very good and informative video. Thanks and ride safe.

Your the real deal. I had the same problem with finding service on the bmw. Went back to the klr. Thank you

Hey Chad I think you do a great job on your video! Just the ratchet strap trick alone was awesome and I appreciate your honest review! Keep it up man and don't worry about anybody else, you do a great job. I appreciate down to earth honesty. Keep riding and have fun!

The secret to making videos is pretending the camera is your friend. 500+ people have subbed to you, and clearly there is demand for your content based on this video. You should come back, we need more genuine people online. Thanks for the review, these will be my next tires.

Hey Chad, I just stumbled across this vid as I think the tractionator gps will be my next tyre on my cb500x. Don't talk yourself down man. Obviously the average joe want have all the flashy editing skills but your vids are good and to the point. Its refreshing to see videos without all the BS filler in them. Greetings from Australia.

WOW 12,000 Miles is impressive. Thanks for the review. Truly enjoyed. Very Cool to see someone living off their bike. New Sub looking forward to checking out more.

Keep going! Almost 1000. Valuable and educational. Personal and no fuzz. Good Job

And here I am thinking "why did I not think about using ratchet straps years ago!" That is one hell of a hack.

I had an ADV instructor tell me about these 5 or 6 years ago. He said they pull through anything and stay around 20,000 km. It'll do what you need it to do. For the big heavy bikes, it's the best, "Idk where I'm going" kind of tire. Hands down.

Keep the videos coming!!! Love your reviews and adventures!

This is the first video of yours that I've come across, but I hope you continue to do them on occasion, since for me anyway this is a very useful video. I just bought a 1250GS after being a longtime GoldWing rider (still have the GoldWing, not that it matters), and my plan is to ride around New Mexico (BDR, CDT, etc) as often as possible. Trying to get smart on tires and it sure sounds like you like the Motoz Tractionator GPS, so I may give that one a try, so I can get out there and start practicing!! Thanks for taking the time to do videos, and please consider doing more, since you're a lot better at it than I think you give yourself credit for!!!

The ratchet strap for the rear is a brilliant idea, thanks will put that one away in the grey matter for the future.

Thanks Chad, you just made my job a lot easier with the ratchet strap. I have been looking for a new rear tyre and have decided on the tractionator. Hope you do make more vids because that awkward feeling won't feel so bad after a while. Cheers from the land down under

Ya bud, keep up the good work making vids.. helped me a lot. Just ordered some motion pro bead pros. Always worth the Kwan to make a tough job easy on the road or trail! Cheers and safe travels!

I look forward to your videos. Keep it up!

Agree. Tractionator GPS is best bang for your buck. Reasonably priced. Good amount of tread and longevity and beaut traction in variety of road and trail conditions. My "go too's" also' Thanks for good vid and advice.

Nice I really like the ratchet strap trick. I don't want to admit the different positions I've been in mounting my new tires LOL.

Your vids are just fine and very informative. Thank you, all the best and enjoy your riding. Cheers

I was glued to your video. I loved the honesty and how you conducted your self, it's a credit to you. I would love to be on a bike full time like you. Thank you for the review. I'm consdering this tyre. Please more vids.

Nice good video. Learned about using the strap to lift the tire.

Just caught this vid looking for a review! This was very helpful!! I’m subin so keep up the great vids!! I’ll love the easy going attitude toward it all! I’ll be watching! Ride safe!! 👌🏼👍🏼✌🏼

Looking at these tires on my 1999 Tiger. Great video! Will be using the tip about the ratchet strap! Thanks

This was an excellent video. Just perfect, personable honest and informative. Stay safe!!

Those motion pros are a life saver if you’re in the middle of nowhere solo, and have to change a tube!

I ordered them and am having a set installed soon, really happy to hear you like them! I'm new to ADV riding so I didn't want to go too aggressive off road right away, sounds like the choice will be a good one.

Good video man keep up the show and wheels rolling

Had the GPS on my 2015 Tiger 800, great tire. Got many miles on them, they worked great off and on road. I don't really do off road anymore on it, so I switched them out with a bit more of a street tire. I do have a 690 R and I'm thinking about putting a GPS on the back, I do off road on the 690, but I do cover quite a few street miles going to different places out here in the desert. Great review and a great tire...thanks.

thanks for the strap tip its a great idea , plus you seem to do a great job with the videos , keep up the great work .

They're a great all weather road tyre and decent dry weather off-road tyre, the second it gets wet off-road the centre ridge works like a slick. Good longevity as mentioned :-)

Oh, so sad to hear this is going to be the last video... :( well I encourage you to keep on doing them. Better than feeling like nervous with your partner, better encourage him/her to take the camera/phone and take some cinematic footage from the passenger view, fast no one does that because we usually ride solo, but who knows, this could be a nice angle and your channel could benefit from that. Also what we always appreciate is, not only the road conditions but low budget hotels, food etc 😉

I learned a lot in a short video. Thanks

Keep the vedios, your a kind man, I like your channel, just keep 👌 this nice vedios & record all your nice trips and travel & show it to us , tell us about it, each place you visit , make a vedio for it and talk about it. Also keep vedio wonderful maintenance, believe me , this channel will be #1 motorcycle channel.

Great and honest video, you are nearly doing it all, it’s just recording that you wanna work on and you’ll be hitting lots of subscribers. Great biking!!!!!

Hey Chad, thank s again for the vid and great usefu tips you give. I m taking it that you ve installed the rear in the 50/50 rather than the road

Dont stop making content, I just subscribed, I like your honest opinion. Keep it coming...

Good job thanks for the tire info

You are not bad at all. Thanks for the vid. One of the best years I had I spent in Maine.

Excellent tutorial mate! Cheers!

nice to see from you again 👍

I know how hard it is to do videos Chad. I've been riding for 44 years and have not recorded any like this; too busy riding I guess. You do provide really useful advice though, so I've just subscribed for when you do 1 more. I recently rode the SandRaiders Rally in the Sahara with an American enduro rider, so check it out if you want a change of scenery,.

Thanks Chad, I’m still curious about running these Motoz GPS in reverse direction. If no discernible difference on road & better off road as one of the comments suggests, why wouldn’t that be the default direction? Keen to hear from anyone who’s tried both directions. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

I hope you make some more videos like this! Thank You.

Really appreciate the video, and the tip re ratchet straps. Great job sir and thank you!

Just ordered a GPS tire. It's going to replace a K60 scout on a KTM 1090r. And your videos are great.

Excellent vid, really helpful guidance and tips. Please keep making the vids, when you have something to say, advice to share, us newbies to riding value your thoughts. I'm on a the baby beemer g310gs, planning to ride from UK over to the Afghan border, along the Pamir highway and back. Ride like you stole it, but ride safe!

Keep making videos. You ARE good at it. Great content. New subscriber.

I enjoyed the video Mate, nice relaxed and informative. New sub here. Just bought these for my bike, was using scorpion str but they were tragic.

Awesome video Sir!

Hi bud looks lovely there found your Chanel as I’m looking for reviews on that tire sounds too good to be true how good they are I’ll definitely be putting them on my African twin I normally get my tires put on but doesn’t look that bad changing myself I’ll be checking your other blogs out thanks for the review greetings and happy xmas as it’s not far away now from 🇬🇧 Uk 😁👍🏻

Ratchet strap! Right on to that, thanks for a very handy new thing. Really enjoyed your straight forward way and description here. Hope Maine was a great time, that's where I go a lot, I'm just above in NB, Canada. You should cross over: I can guarantee the roads you'll find across southern NB are going to be excellent riding times.

Thanks mate, appreciate it

Love the ratchet strap idea 👍

Awesome mate, thank you!

The KZfaq algorithm brought me to your channel. Great job on the video. I hope you can do more about more hacks or anything related. Thanks!

Great job thanks 😊

such a simple tip with the ratchet strap! well done!

Thanks, what I did like was no “fluff”. Rocky Mtn owes you a thank you for the purchase of some motion pro bead breakers. Safe travels

I like your videos, no bs..

Hi Chad. I had MOTOZ adventure on before. And loved them really. Great traction lasted around 9000 km. Now i have the gps on the back. I just can't make up my mind now for my next trip if i should reverse it into offroad.

I recently put a set of the Motoz Tractionator GPS on my 24 Honda Transalp. Must say they are an excellent tire both off road and on road. However, they are so hard the bike was no longer smooth on the road. Since I felt every bump in the road, especially in the rear, I have replaced the rear tire with softer Dunlop Trailmax Mission Raid

Ratchet strap brilliant thank you my friend

I might have to give this tire a try next time. Running shinko 805 now. Love to he price but it wears pretty quick

You make it look easy with these tires 😮

Hey buddy great video I just purchased the same tyres hope there good still in lockdown in Australia yes lockdown I will sub your channel great vid ride safe

hi there! nice review, thank you I was between the GPS and the Shinko E-805, but that millage WOW. Quick question, about your tire changing gear, could you make a little list of everything, I'm always taking them to the dealer and it's making a little hole in my wallet 😅, thanks!

Another easy way to set the bike up for replacing the back tire is to put it on the center stand and raise the front wheel about 2” with a block if wood or something similar I find it a little easier than the ratchet strap method.

Sorry Cad, didn't finish that last reply. I take it you put them in the 50/50 rather than the 80/20 road orientated direction? Thanks again for the great vids and don t be shy mate, your vids are great. Cheers mate

Thank you for the video, I just got the same tire. I didn't understand what you said regarding the tire balancing. What do you use ?

Awesome Explanation Brother !! Do you still have the Bike .

Have you tried the rear tire in both directions? If so, did you notice that smoother rolling on the 50/50 way vs the mostly off road way? Cuz I have heard there's not noticeable difference roadwise but there IS such a difference off-road wise.

Not sure if you're STILL using those tires after two years, but if so, I'm curious what pressures you're using to get that kind of mileage? I bought a set about 16 months ago and have about 7K miles on them..in the 50/50 direction. They still seem to have a lot of wear left in them, and I usually run them at around 35 psi. Looks like you haven't done any videos in a year or so, so I hope life is treating you well and you're still able to get out there and ride....and just don't have time to do videos!!

hello chad congratulations for your video, I have a question what is the tool you use to remove the tire?

Who's tubeless rims did you buy?

nice tip with the ratchet strap

Do you have a review on the Mitas e07+. I have not run this tire on this review. If it’s anything like the heidenau tires. Those were to slick for me.

I think you did a great job on your videos I was getting really interested in p and them and I'm from Dickson county originally when you pass by the school and you said it was Irvington high School that was little Irvington elementary Irvington high School was torn down there for years ago p at the top of the mountain before you took the forks to go out to Ralph Stanley's festival if you would have kept going straight on down the mountain then you would have passed by Irvington high School old site and you would have come out right where you said the high school was little Irvington at Lambert store

Good video, very good idea with the strap :) but didn't you said that you are going to mount it on the more "aggressive" bite direction? Because it looks like you've mounted it on the less aggressive one, maybe I'm wrong. I'm not hating, I'm just asking :)

What do you think about the Metzeler Karoo 3? Those were the stock tires on the 850 GS, right?

I saw Fort Davis cool I’m lived in Marfa

Love the ratchet idea

How do you balance the wheel? What sealant do you use? Thank u

What front tyre are you using?

How many miles are you getting? Did I miss it?

i got a warning from the t7 forum admins for telling people they didnt need a massive piece of equipment to change tires and a few spoons would do them.

what are the tools you used to change the tires?

2-3 thousand miles from tires is pitiful. Manufacturers should be forced to get their act together and have minimum wear standards and stop polluting the planet for a quick profit. I get 20,000+ miles from my bicycle tires made by Schwalbe Germany, which means it can be done but motorcycle tyre companies choose not to

Hey you're lucky that you can bend your knees that far
