It's pretty damn cool 😊

It's frickin awesome. I appreciate 100%. It's given a lot of joy in life 🙂

I'd be up for doing that 😁😁

So if you go on the Trans Euro Trail website you can find most of this route 🙂

It wasn't that windy but I was camping with way worse kit 😅😅That was a shit night 😭

Thanks so much Robert. That's high praise. They're motorcycle royalty in my eyes.

Do it Dan!! That was a request from our Patreon members 😁

My pleasure. Had a great time every step of the way 🙂

Go for it Florian! I can highly recommend it

Right on! I was hopeful and it'd be rad if it was good enough. Maybe a silk liner would be a boost but I still think not. Was stoked on the pack size though 😂

Thanks man! It was really fun!

Cheers Josh! 🤣

It was!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

No problemo! :D

Thanks Jason!

I'd make more if people watched them 😭

Mate, so damn good. Thanks for assistance!

Thanks Steve! We really did!

Thanks Del!

Thanks man!

Sorry to hear about that. Hope the flooding isn't too bad 🙏

Awesome! Not many people watch ours 😅

If you ever want to come ride and /or shoot some content surrounding the LA area hit me up. I can help with that.

Thanks Kalle!

Thanks Mike 😁

It was!

Thanks Michael 🙂

Thanks!!

You're gonna love it!

Amen. How ya doing man?

@@BrakeMagazine 👍🏻

Thanks man! Working hard on being better 😁 Our hobby deserves better stories!

@@BrakeMagazine no, thank you. You are giving WAY more than you realise. I hope that me and my 8 year old boy can have the bond and adventures that you have with your father. You are inspirational for me 🙂♥️

@@BikingWithCraig Your words are too kind. 🙂

🙏🙏 Thanks for the kind words 🙂

Thanks for the kind words 😁

Thanks Rob! We had a pretty sudden temperature drop at night that killed it. The nights had been around 15 the day before we left but dropped to around 5. Noted, I'll take a look!

Same here 🤣

Thanks man! What made you anxious about my throttle modulation?😂 I really only ride that close for the GoPro and then make my lines up to work around it 😅

@@BrakeMagazine it was nothing technically wrong with your riding (nor would I begin tp critique it over a bloody video!), it was just the music, the scene, the engine rumble and my "c'mon on get up there - no foot-down" feeling that made myself anxious! Like I said, lovely stuff! ~ Peter

@@peterdclark Ah, I understand 🤣 honestly, it was my favourite trail of the whole three days of the reasons you describe!

Let us know what you're planning on getting!

@@BrakeMagazine my budget is super low so getting a Chinese built Kurz fs250, several hundred pound away from buying yet.

Thanks Peter! Is that a 690 is Spy?

@@BrakeMagazine Yes it is, it's ticking all the boxes at the moment Llel, but I'm liking the look of the ultra light 350 vibe

Thanks Michael! I like that track too 😁

The days were lovely and my sleeping bag sucked 🤣

Cheers man! We need to get out together this summer! I reckon it'd be tricky on the big ones. 😅 Be worth the story and you could always camp where you get stuck 😭😅

Jesus man. That's so unlucky! Good luck with the recovery!

Google the Trans Euro Trail. You'll love it.

For sure. We'll cover the whole thing in our upcoming pod episode!

It would've been different fun 🤣 I find a lot of enjoyment in the struggle 🤣 It was a poor choice. I took one for the team 😅

Thanks! How do you like the Versys? We haven't got the 250 in the UK. Massive shame.

@@BrakeMagazine No 250(300 now)? You're missing out. I thought the Vv300 would be good for rough trails too but not enough ground clearance and too heavy. 400lbs with luggage. So going to prep the kawi for those rides. Check my channel to see. Don't get me wrong. It's a blast in the twisties and on gravel roads with 2 extra teeth on the rear sprocket. My driveway ends on gravel road. K-miles of them here. Asphalt here is 55mph so 65 is a nice cruising speed for me...until the road twists, then it's Chubby Checker time. Cheers

Sorry it took so long! It was a hard one to edit I to something watchable 😭 I'm pretty stoked we get to do stuff like this together. It's rare 🙂 I reckon you're right. I love riding dirtbikes and they're ripper at a lot of stuff but I reckon you'd get a 300L through most of it fine. There are quite a few bits that are messier than they look and the ground clearance/suspension would make it a bit tougher but on the balance its probably a little better suited 🙂

I have a CRF250l and ride in North Wales, I’m not sure the CRFs are better? Yeah on the road and packing camping gear definitely but off road you really feel the difference between the CRF and a full on enduro bike. After riding the CRF for a while then trying out an enduro bike it feels like your somehow cheating! Maybe if your skilled enough you might be ok but the lack of suspension, ground clearance and power make it really hard work.

@@iangriffiths9930 I live around mid wales and ride most weekends anywhere from south of the Brecon Beacons up to Newtown in mid wales, and I must admit having owned two ktm exc’s previously and now a CRF 250L I find it way more suitable and I think it’s daft that so many people who just ride green lanes use enduro bikes when they have snappier throttles, ridiculous service intervals, and are generally less reliable as used enduro bikes will often have had much harder lives when they were new, than crf’s. When compared to the fact that CRFs are much cheaper both new and used, they are very beginner friendly having low power, they are a bit comfier and they have bells and whistles like abs and a fuel gauge which people dismiss, until they’ve had them and realise how handy all those small things are. The low seat height is a godsend on difficult terrain as you can easily flat foot and dab where most average enduro bike riders might drop the bike from not being able to get a foot down etc. Granted the CRF like any bike is not perfect and it’s low ground clearance is it’s main shortcoming. I have only ridden one lane where I met an obstacle which my ktm would have not even have noticed, but which stopped the CRF dead. Easily overcome by my fellow rider and I lifting the bike over the obstacle, and we were off riding again. I have to say that in my experience for south and mid wales lanes, which some people would regard as the perhaps some of the best and trickiest in the country, the CRF is almost the perfect bike. Plus you don’t need a trailer or van to ride 20 miles to a meet location as you can ride the CRF there. In a nutshell I used to spend my rides on the ktm’s never feeling comfortable because I spent the whole day wondering if/ when it would break down (and it often did). Whereas now I am way more relaxed and enjoy rides more because I know the good old Honda will not let me down and if i ride it somewhere beyond it’s limit, I can just turn around and go back.

Oh and I should probably say, my CRF is heavily modified (rear shock, fork springs, adventure spec parts, heated grips, etc etc) so in fairness what I say above would not apply to a factory stock CRF as they do need modifying to get them to that point.

I agree with all those comments 100% but the point I was trying to make was that it’s far easier to ride an enduro bike than the CRF off road. I’m not saying enduro bike is better or worse but for me when I’ve had the chance to try out a full on competition enduro bike it was so much easier! I wouldn’t swap my crf though 🙂

We'd better get on with answering that questionnaire then!

Also the video was really inspiring!! Loved it!!

Some of it will but most of it will be lovely!

Yeah, for sure. We're also going to do a pod about it on Patreon 🙂

Sheesh 🤣🤣 Defo not. Tbf, this crash was in tracking mode.😅😅

Most of it just the Trans Euro Trail from Aberystwyth North. 🙂

Not all. In this video I used a DJI Mavic Air 2S, a GoPro and a Canon R6. 🙂

🤣🤣🤣

Glad you enjoyed it! I dunno about that but we get around alright. Ain't no Graham Jarvis! The gates ruin me man. Horrendous. For the GoPro audio I use a Drift microphone. I velcro/stuff it inside the helmet by the cheek pad. Use the little stupid GoPro audio box velcro'd to the outside of the helmet. Works decent enough.

@@BrakeMagazine Yeah man, solo would be a gate nightmare. Always ride with a mate! Haha, there's not enough sheds for two of Jarvis... Thanks buddy, although I was hoping you'd say you had a better solution than that 'cause I also find that audio box a PITA. DM'd you on insta too buddy 👍🏻

Pretty normal interval still. Around 15-17 hours between the change. The additive won't really make it last longer I don't think.

It was a Trailtech Voyager Pro. Check out Episode One or the upcoming Episode 4 for more. I can't recommend it enough.

Mostly the Welsh TET 🙂

Yeah. As I said, I was hopefully but I was wrong...

I would not use a tarp in the UK. It's often windy cold and exposed. I have tried and it sucks. Any smallish, light two person tent will do. I generally think free-standing is better, but in the UK, the ground is soft and camping is easy to get your pegs in.

It's just the Trans Euro Trailm

I think the Trackers are bloody awesome for the money. They seem to last super well as well. I think for most riding the 90/90 is a better fit 🤔

Wales, Cornwall, Lake District and a few parts of Yorkshire yeah definitely. Everywhere else the 690 is probably a better compromise based on the amount of roadwork on the TET -my opinion only as someone who owns an exc350 and wr250r. In the aforementioned places I'd take the exc, everywhere else I take the softer, comfier, better mannered WR

Mmm, depends a but I think. Better for some stuff, worse for others and depends on your ability. 😊

Yeah, that's annoying 😭

The government asked for a landscape consultation,if you Google landscape consultation Defra you will find it.the TRF have notified all its members to take action,basically one suggestion put forward is a complete ban of recreational off road vehicles on unsealed roads and tracks in national parks or everywhere.we’ve already had thousands of miles of trails taken away,but of all the trail users we easily have the smallest quietest voice and this one looks like it could be the end for UK trail riding☹️
