@@knfc89 they were fine, not in your face and helpful with dropped bikes

Yea all the staff were ok, help you when you needed and knew the course

@@CapelAdcenturer I’m aware and go into it with eyes wide open, you can get specialist insurance or just fork out for the bits you break

Yawn

Just get your bike to a road section and tell them you did it there 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@paulh617 yeah was thinking the same, that one is really easy to miss!

@johnstilljohn3181 according to the festival organization 8 miles.

Glad you enjoyed it!

@XanderHurley when we rode this lap, due to a crash, some parts of Bridgestone trail were closed. Rode the other Expert sections on Saturday, but didn't have chance during this lap.

@@theicebike ah no worries was hoping to see what they were like as I too missed them 🤣

It was fun if very dusty toward the end!

​@@XanderHurleyI the water crossing was OK with momentum, but the mud on the exit was very slidey! I was also watching to see how he did! 😂

I do NOT recommend the Carpe Iter ADV controller. Quality is very poor, it’s NOT water proof. A jet wash will get water inside. If you read the specs you’ll see it does NOT have any IPX rating, and they basically say that you have to trust their word in terms of waterproofness. Likewise, customer service is the worst I’ve ever seen. They will even reply to you with ironic messages trying to make fun of the situation. After so many problems, and terrible and very unprofessional customer service response, I took off the Carpe Iter ADV controller, threw it away, and moved to the ARN Remote Pro. I had zero problems with this controller, and I regret zero. Super good quality, and a top customer service support.

@theicebike omg... really? do not omg!

Thank you @Mike.4639

Not sure where that was, but it was due to temporary forest work. As I rode this 6 months ago, I’m pretty sure the forest work have been already completed. Good luck on your ride of the ACT Portugal.

@theicebike thanks my friend. Another question at what time did you depart from Gaviao and at what time did you reach Moura?

@Adventurebikeridersgib I usually departed each day around 8AM, and getting to destination around 5-6PM. You need to consider that you’ll lose 1-1.5 hours stopping for having a meal, topping up your camel back, and for some other needed things. Day 4 has quite fast trails, with mostly easy terrain. Day 4 is way far the easiest one. It’s 285km, but you’ll ride it at fast speed on wide easy trails mostly. Day 5 is the same, until you reach the Algarve for the last 80km or so, which is a non stop of up and downs, very demanding physically.

@@theicebike great stuff!! Thanks for your advice my friend!!!

Thank you

Yes @TimZ750, some sections are tricky, specially days 1, 2 and 3, but it’s a fantastic experience. Good luck on your ride. We might cross paths. This summer I’ll do days 3,2 and 1, but this time south to north and then TET in the north of Spain from Ponferrada to Potes.

Try to ride in a Honda 150 from Bilbao to the North of Portugal (300km), cross Portugal off road North to South (1200 km), and return back to Bilbao from Tavira (1000km). On top of that, 30kg luggage 😉

Thank you

@martinike123 I don't know if the tracks are on wikilock. You can download them from ACT website, but please bear in mind that since around couples of year ago, you need to be member and pay a subscription for it -> adventurecountrytracks.com/portugal/

They are both awesome on the highway, depends on if you have a Pro or not that would make the biggest difference

⁠@@jonathanvallely6598Rally is the Pro

The 900 is 35 pounds lighter than your AT.

This bike wasn’t bothered either 😅

It’s also explained the details for the workaround on the description of the video.

I agree with you but sometimes when your country riding you run into obstacles you don't expect..Knowing it's capable of pulling it off is a good thing..

Thank you. It’s in the video’s description. Tyres are Anakee Wild. Very good tyre.

Gracias!

Isn’t that the most odd comment 🤦🏻‍♂️

It sounds mad by adv bikes can be so fun off road! I enjoy my T7 on certain green lanes than I do my ktm xcf

@@TheZakkmylde buys 3 adv bikes but doesn’t see the point in what they were made for 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ having to be 100% focused, riding on the edge while managing risk at a relatively slow speed is why it’s so fun, it consumes the mind so much that nothing else can intrude on your thoughts. On the other hand, riding on the road requires hardly any brain capacity and all the risk is avoiding people driving like idiots

What you think off road bikes are for lol. You have more fun off road than on road. No speed cameras. Just freedom on the mud trail. Guessing you've sold your bikes and bought a brand spanking new goldwing or harley bagger. 😅

Umm buddy then you don't understand this style of riding

It’s a Tiger 900 Rally Pro.

Looks like it's really 900 model. My first thought was that it is 1200 as well but then I've paused the vid so I can see on the right side it says "900". Maybe we were confused because it's loaded with all options

@@Yanas_Olyah headlights, top crash bar (version 2), frame, swing arm, fuel tank, …. It’s clearly a 900 RP.

Why are you arguing with the owner of the bike?! I’m pretty sure he knows what model of bike he bought and owns 🤦🏼‍♂️
