Thanks mum 😊 x

😂

Fkin brilliant mum on you tube ✊🏻👍🏻😂

@mbal4052 🤣 thought she was doing dead good, bless her. Not very tech savvy, I'm Impressed she got this far, to be honest 😆

Cheers Nathan 🤙 yeah it was a stressful day mate 😆 I was really missing Wales yesterday haha

Thanks dude. It's about the only thing In life that I'm actually confident in doing 🤣 it's all time in the saddle mate, you'll be at level of confidence to do this type of stuff easily yourself at some point without even realising it 👌

Awesome Shane, should have give us a beep and a wave 😄 I wouldn't have had a clue what's happening until now but hey hahaha. Still can't get my head around people finding me out in the country who've watched my videos... such a niche thing we do too which makes it all the more strange. Yeah yesterday was bizarre in terms of interacting with folks on the lanes, don't really get that round Wales/Shropshire to be honest, so cought me off guard, just shows how bikers are constantly being discriminated against 👎

This lad can ride Shane. Don’t think our 250s would keep up with that lad 😂

🤔 erm... Thanks? 😂 not sure what im a legend for like...

🤣 yes mate I found it hahaha. I cringe when I watch these videos back you know, I chat so much shite! Don't even realise I'm doing it half the time. The whole reason I ride in far out places is to get away from the public, these areas you're riding through hundreds of the c**ts 😄 I wish I could ride over some of them!

If anything the lad on the gasgas pissed me off more when he went through the gate and rode off 😆 wanted to strangle him hahaha

I'll check it out now dude. What areas you ride mainly? I'm happy to go anywhere and with anyone with knowledge of the local area, that's how you find the hidden gems, and I don't get stuck 😆 thanks for watching.

@@lewsdirtbikedays peaks are my local but I tend to head to wales and Shropshire mostly haven’t really been out much further than that.

Aw thanks very much mate, that maybe the longest comment has ever left me, I appreciate it mate, thank you 🙏 Glad you're enjoying the videos, is the Mrs fed up of me yet on the tele? 😂 I only ride the terrain I do is purely to show where these bikes can go with a very average, short arse, rider, I'm nothing special, just getting the message out there that people who own these big bikes shouldn't be afraid of taking them offroad as they're missing out on so much! Alot of it comes down to confide to and ability obviously, but the bike is more than capable as I've shown. Granted we're not all Pol Tarres, but we can be in our own little way 😉

@lewsdirtbikedays yeah, Pol Tarres makes it look so easy🤣At 5' 6" tall I'm curious how your feet sit on the floor🤔surely you must be on the balls of your feet? And does the world raid really feel lighter than the stock T7, lower down and not so top heavy? Cus that's what put me off the stock bike when I bought my 500x. Cheers😉

@ifindoubtbailout70 I can't actually touch the floor 🤣 I have to side saddle to touch the floor fully on one side. it's pretty hilarious! That's why most of my tumbles are when I come to an awkward stop and I can't touch the floor 🤣 I've dropped this at t junctions on the road and everything 😅 I've never actually ridden the OG T7, so I can't compare them but I'm told the Raid certainly feels lighter when on the move but it's a heavy beast when you stop, especially when it's full. But I really wouldn't have anything else, I love it to bits.

@lewsdirtbikedays 😄 you find a way to make it work, when you love a bike that much, eh😜sounds a bit scary at the T junctions though😬keep making great vids buddy😉

Burned my head out that. Set the tone for the day 😆

Awesome, what is it you think we have in common? I've just re done a similar route to this with my new camera, called round about buxton. But as you're already going through my previous videos, you'll see it anyway✌🏻 glad you're enjoying them 🙏

@@lewsdirtbikedays , we have the same bike and by the way you ride it i assume you also didnt start yesterday, same sense of humour, dont enjoy rude people and as straight forward speaking as possible. I must have watched most of your vídeos by now, found your channel yesterday.

Oh cool man, how you finding your world raid? Fucking heavy aren't they 😂 I love mine to bits! Please subscribe to the channel dude, so you don't miss any new ones, and thanks for watching all the other videos, I must be doing something right for you to sit through 10's of hours watching them 😂 some commitmen that! Yeah, to be fair, all of my motorbike experience is offroad, bits of Motocross but mainly racing enduro's for the last 15 or so years... so I'm relatively comfortable offroad, road riding bores me to tears 😅

@@lewsdirtbikedays i have the normal T7, 2023 model, i like the WR but didnt felt the need to go there. 25 ish years riding super bikes, track days, zero off road. The T7, at least mine ( lowered) feels like a race bke, its incredible how it handles and the stock Pirelli have insane grip on tarmac. Off road i have many years riding cross country and enduro bycicles, love it, but for now the T7 if i took it offroad i feel it would be Like the firsr day of my first bike (FZR 1000 ) , took it from the dealer to the pump station and let it fall on the side 😄 . I will get there, need to let it grow on me and lose the love for the paint job on the New bike.

They always will be mate I think, it's an us and them situation, but I feel we have to be overly polite in fear they will complain and the lanes will be TRO'D for vehicles... we don't want that.

Alright Carl. Thanks for watching mate, I've done a few more vids since this one mate, on a new camera aswell, go check them out too 😉 Best purchase you'll ever make dude, I love mine to pieces! Total smile factory. I personally use outdooractive navigation app to navigate and create my routes. The actually see the green lanes I use 'Green Road Map' website, but that is only available to TRF members, that is really cool as it shows the location and status of the lanes, open with no restrictions, temporary TRO and permanent TRO's so you can stay on the right side of the law. You need any more info mate, give me a shout.

@@lewsdirtbikedays I’ll definitely have a look I’m the same as you I’ve came from an enduro bike so it’s all new to me if you ever come further down south in wales let me know

Thanks Dude. Post your email address and I will send you the GPX of the route mate. Or alternatively, if you download 'outdooractive' and search my profile - Lewis leadbetter - all kf my routes are on there ready to go 🤙

Cheers Sean. Yeah the STR's are bloody deadly offroad, the bike lies down on its own if it sees grass 😂 at the minute I'm running a 140 michelin tracker on the back, and a Pirelli MT21 on the front. Might try something different on the back next time round.

Hi marty, tha ks for watching. It's funny you say that, I done a walk around video while at 3 shires showing all the mods I've done and what I think of the bike in general.... and it was one of the videos I deleted by mistake aswell as the other side of that particular trail 🤦‍♂️ I'll get out and do another soon, she's just coming up to 5k miles, and probably 3.5 -4k of that has been offroad.

I’d deffo be interested in a video like that. 🤙❤️

I absolutely adore it mate, but I suppose it's very subjective, and it depends a lot on what you want to do with the bike and what you want out of it I suppose.

I completely agree mate. Its a personality trait more than the present situation with most people. Certainly want to get up to Yorkshire soon for sure, and lakes too. As awesome and beautiful Wales is, I'd like to start broadening my horizons a little so it doesn't get stale.

Alright mate. I've got a 140 michelin tracker on the back, and Pirelli MT21 on the front. Decent on the road to be fair, will do 70 happily. Bit noisy though.

@@lewsdirtbikedays thanks mate your doing brilliant, best ignore those clowns you pass by 👍

I was over correcting because everyone else seems to be a c**t 😆 I'm not gonna lie, it was exhausting saying hello and thanks to everyone.

I can understand it aswell, bit can't tar everybody with the same brush, alos, if they're touchy about the noise, find a bridleway and don't use a byway legal for traffic passing through 🤷🏼 can't have their cake and eat it mate. Can't be angry at us for riding on the one lane we're aloud to. Yeah the kid on the gasser pissed me right off man!

@@lewsdirtbikedays your right, there are endless footpaths, I’ve not done a lot of green laning yet but done a fair bit of mountain biking and most are walkers are spot on but the further south you go the twattier they get 😂 Great vid by the way, my tiger is getting muddier every ride thanks to you 👍

@@TimZ750 you absolutely nailed it, im a northerner living down south and the people are absolutely twattier!

😂 apologies, didn't mean to upset you mate haha

Cheers mate. To be fair, I don't think there's anything standoutish enough that would take me down those areas anyway to be honest and if the walkers are worse I'd rather not haha, I'm a hot headed individual so would meet aggression with aggression so wouldnt be a great outcome for any party 🤣 I'd like to do the great Western trail at some point and sepnd 3-4 days in Devon/Cornwall.

@@lewsdirtbikedays yea probably best you don’t come this way then 😂 plus loads are being shut now anyway. Iv done the gwt, the Devon bits good and a bit of Cornwall but a lot of road and I mean a lot. Well worth doing but I won’t do it all again

@Hampshire adv riders oh, well that's a bit of a downer. I'm not a fan of the road bit, it irritates me, plus you have the Cornwall mile to consider and 9389 caravans and motor homes on single track 😒 might give it a miss actually thinking about it... 😆

As funny as that would be, I'd rather not want the charges that would go with it 😆

Bloody ramblers... 🤣

That's it mate, some people just refuse to be nice though. Can't please everybody all of the time, hey.

Nice one, Simon. I try and ride remote places to get away from people, but I guess the leak district is so dense and not very remote, the fuckers are everywhere 🤣 generally as a whole, most are 'okay' at best! Just have to learn to share the trails with bikes I guess and stop being so fucking entitled! 🤣

😆 glad it wasn't just me then. There was loads of encounters I didn't get on video too... I was properly taken back by the rudeness of the people in the area mate... must be something in the water 👀😆

@@lewsdirtbikedays they just think they own the place mate. Too many well off middle class types that think they're above anyone doing anything they don't do There's some better/harder lanes around that area too. If youll take a T7 UP holinsclough medium I'll buy you a beer at the top lol

@Adam Lee aaaaaaaah washgate lane... I would like to try it to be fair, but as I'm on my own a lot, it can be a bit too much of a risk on some lanes. Would deffo like to give it a go as some point though for sure! Might do a rekkie on the sherco fist before big Bertha gets a run 😆

To be fair, this isn't adventure riding, this is trail riding which the UK is full of. You can't really 'adveture' anywhere in the UK as its so small and you're always so close to a village or town. Plus we dot have the freedoms to ride anywhere we want, we have designated legal trails we must stick to. I must disagree, the riding in the UK is far from boring.

If you're annoyed by motorcycles on the trails who also have a right to be there as much as you, then walk on one of the many other hundreds of bridleways in the area where there will be no motorbikes. Our rights of way are being depleted at a rapid rate unfortunately, so our byways are becoming less and less all the time, you you have to respect the fact that the trail you may be walking on could be the only byway left for us in that particular area. Plus the fact that us as trail riders pay a none profit organisation every year, the like of the TRF and GLASS, who actually repair and maintain our trails and fight councils traying to TRO them turning them into bridleways. I'm nice and polite with everyone I come across, I'm aware my bike is an annoyance to some people, but hey, we just have to accept it and make the passing as pleasant as possible. If I'm nice and respectful, I would expect the same response back on an intrinsic human level. But to be snarled and sneered at really pisses me off! The ignorance and arrogance of some people is astounding and completely unnecessary. But generally speaking, most people I pass on the trails are generally quite nice, some I even stop for a chat with, happy days, but it's the odd few that spoil it.

Thousands of miles of footpaths in Derbyshire alone to escape from the motorised fraternity, I should know, I am a walker, mountaineer and motorcyclist (offroad, green lane.) So there is absolutely no need to complain about noise if YOU CHOOSE to walk an ancient right of way which is called a Byeway to ALL traffic, BOAT for short. Learn to read a map and enjoy the silence that does exist elsewhere.
