Malle Moto riders truly are hardcore, Lyndon is a legend to me👍

I'm disappointed by email newsletter. Just some generic trip stories and promo for Linesman pants that have been out of stock for half an year in most common sizes.. Because half of your e-shop listings are out of stock, the production lacking behind, the only useful info for the newsletter is some sort of schedule when we can expect particular products available again. Or more info on product changes and new variants, also with some planned schedule.

nice video ! question: this bike have a USA factory ECU and original pipe ? and 45 HP ?

Thanks, that was review what I was looking for 🤙

Why is there such a large horsepower difference between the American version? Stock US dyno numbers (Dirt Rider tested) is 38 hp/27.8 ft lbs of torque at rear wheel. Mine has a Graves block off kit, twin air filter with lid removed, Vortex X10 ECU with trail power map (stock exhaust) yields about 43-45 rear wheel horsepower. With the Vortex ECU and a G2 throttle tamer, it is a very smooth power delivery.

hopefully we can buy the gravel suit this autumn, i really need this for my trip to the north cape in 2025.

This was excellent

Made respect. Holy crap.

Super quick and clear. Thanks 👍

as a professional photographer I just wanted to say how great the pictures were you took during the trip.

Thoroughly enjoyed this account of your trip. Thanks.

An inspiration… what a story… I’m 49 years old and only just getting into rally raid…and the dream of Dakar.. we’ll see what happens…the determination and the passion of your video. Just amazing. Keep it up.. well done…👊

Best bike kit I have ever stumbled across! ❤

I've got the OS base with the 12L's on my Dr650 and the same system with 18's on my Norden. Bought a pair of 6L's too. Can mix match, add, upsize, downsize, whatever. Really versatile system.

Very nice, very simple, and reasonably priced too.

Is the written report mentioned in 22:38 still available?

I wish I could test ride one.

Will this mini fairing fit with ROX 1 3/4 Pivoting Risers on my 2024 KTM EXC-F 500? Concerned about bar mount width with the risers.

I need to jack work in and do stuff like this before I am old and fucked😊

Hey, what outer layer would you recommend wearing the supershirt with to maximise abrasion resistance on longer adv trips?

J'aime beaucoup le côté humain que vous apportez dans vos vidéos Elle me rappelles mes propre expérience de voyages de groupe Merci et bonne continuation

Ktm is the plague

Great Video Greg Thank you What was the weight all up on your EXC 450( bags and Stuff in your bags ) Come to Aussie land and do an adventure ride maybe Western Australia 😅

Great discussion. Thanks guys.

Bearfoot shoes. Your feet are weak. I have seen you being a pansy walking to the water to swim in. They take up hardly any room. Crocks are massive!

Awesome vid, well done. Very entertaining 😂... any chance of sharing gpx map from your trip if you have it . We are planning Welsh trip and would like to maybe include some of your route . Thanks, Steve.

used to watch this when i was 4yrs old and this brings back a lot of nostalgia

Great stuff. Just need to get myself out there. Bit limited in Northern Ireland though

Small bikes??? 650?? You guys are kidding yersel on.

22 stone OAP did it on a YB100 in 2023 - we was bred well ‘ard in the 50s 😉

I let someone have a go of my 701…he did EXACTLY the same thing…but did his ankle,the swingarm fell on it in a similar fashion,I had forget to say NO WHEELIES !

Wear long trousers socks tucked in (Ticks) are rife .

There is uncertainty about Ferries at present (breakdowns ,lack of ships) .

Geordie leading the way 💪🏻

Love this film Greg - excellent!

If your ktm 450 the RFS engine by chance ?

Great video.what gearing did you use Greg 14t-48t ?

Excellent video, thanks!

Thank goodness Davie wasn’t a throttle-happy leader as you went past the wind farm, otherwise you might have ‘hit’ the sand in quite a different fashion. What a beautiful film, small bikes are definitely the way. Well Done. ❤️👍😎✅

I honestly don't understand how you guys do so many miles on dual sports. I'm 6'3" and 230 lbs, I would be in agony after an hour on any of those bikes. It's a good reminder why I bought a 2022 CB500X rather than a dual sport - the CB500X is capable enough off pavement (after a rear shock upgrade) to get the job done, but just so much more comfortable for long pavement sections. The upcoming Ibex 450 is looking like a very nice unicorn bike for my needs, just wish that a Japanese manufacturer would make a bike like that one.

The highs and lows are part of the journey you made the right decision to push on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is this windproof?

I need to do this before the nationalists outlaw everything

Noel 🫵🏻😂

It's been way too long Greg, but it's an awesome piece of video. Thank you

Love the documentary style photography. Very jealous

I would agree with the light bike comment, especially as a short (29 inside leg) 61 year old rider who only got back into motorcycle ownership 4 years ago. My first bike in 2020 was a CRF250 Rally, which i took to the Netherlands (I was working out there) and a month later it was stolen, however my memory of 6 hours riding the CRF meant that when I chose a replacement it would be more comfortable. Next bike was a tiger900 RallyPro (yes i know, i picked the tallest option), that bike was as comfortable as i could wish for, taking it to Munich twice and Denmark twice, I also made a trip back from each location non-stop, 800+ miles in 15 hours and 19 hours respectively, however i never took it off road as I had no confidence in my skill level. Now I have a speedmaster Chrome, which is fine for what I do which is all tarmac, a jaunt down to lands end last year was a blast. That said I still have the urge to venture off road and have been seriously considering getting the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 as it is lower than the CRF and tiger, definitely going to test ride one. Scotland and Ireland are on the radar - need to make sure its not midge season though

That was a brilliant film of my country. I have been lucky enough to have traveled and lived all over Scotland including most of the islands. I agree with you 100% that the Outer Hebrides are magical and the vistas and beaches are stunning. There is a rumour that the Thai tourist board use pictures of those beaches to advertise their country. I was lucky enough to work on Lewis in Stornoway and had the same issue as yourselves because I constantly wanted to take my Land Rover off road but never really knew where I could go but did manage a few ventures off the beaten track. I just wish I had had a trail bike up there. The routes up to the windmills are one of the options for getting into the wilderness. I subbed and liked.

Interesting story, not all wine and smiles. the trick is to be able to have differences and even split before it becomes too sour even for a day or two, and not let that sourness remain to the next trip, that is the hardest. to avoid this people need to be honest and free speaking before planning about what they want to do and more importantly what they do not, having no plan obviously is risky for a group dynamic. I ride solo mainly, as its very difficult to find someone with a similar mindset, flexibility, attitude, enthusiasm that varies from day to day, group trips are usually smaller, simpler and with a more defined goal , its often if that goal is achieved the remaining time can become fractious for a group. I am a pre TET/GPS traveller so perhaps more willing to ride off a map line as opposed to a pink digital one or follow NC 500 or Wild Atlantic Way signs, so get exactly what you say about turning and looking though as you mentioned it can be frustrating, tireing, very time consumeing as well as rewarding. I have done lots in Spain and quite a bit in France using a GPS zoomed in tight and just jumped on any dashed lines heading the direction I am going with similar results, time is often the limiting factor. Use the tools and info thats available but do not let yourself be steered by them perhaps, saying that as someone who does only minimal route research I really do like the info boards on the WAW, but do not follow the arrows prefering to stay as near the sea usually trying all the littlist roads grass, dead ends en'all. Hope this little hi-cup in your group will be a learning lesson about wheelies far from home in a group, as well as a good planning session not just "I'll just go with the flow" . I disagree with your conclusion on bike I have owned a 450exc and now own a 250rally, 640adv and GS1200 and the trip you did and many similar that I have done the GS is the far better tool with a pair of trailee tyres fitted IMHO. Scotland is a fantastic riding Country, a number of years ago I set out to navigating the whole Countries perimeter staying as close to the sea as possible long before any clever person came up with a line on a map put a name to it so that peeps could flock to this "new" route, spent over 35 days so far and just completed the W Coast including Mull and Skye. Observation- Wild camping I do, open fires I do not anymore except on pebble beaches with drift wood etc where no scar will remain, fed up of seeing lovely green spots scarred by black spots, petty, Karenish, unfashionable but my thought. , Lewis and Uist to do may take the wet suit, fins and snorkel perhaps. Thanks for the vid.

Great video, organising these trips can be very stressful, the same route can vary based on who your with and what the weather gods have given you
