- čas přidán 5. 05. 2023
- Take a break from reality and join me on an epic ride through the stunning Italian Alps on the Honda CRF300L. This little beast is perfect for off-road trails and curvy mountain roads, and we'll put it to the test as we explore the beautiful scenery of snow-capped peaks, clear lakes, and charming alpine restaurant.

Awesome video thank you
Tnx for the video. It was great. Just keep them coming 😉😊
I will try! :D Thanks!
🤩 too awesome views... nice to see these places at least from viseo. Maybe someday I can go there too 😊
Definitely worth it. Take the niinivirta cargo to Milano and you can be there and back even with only 1 week of holiday time. You can send the bike a bit in advance and same coming back.
Or get fired and buy a van like me 🤣🤷♂️
Absolutely brilliant video, excellent views 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Many thanks! 😄🙏 Will never forget that ride. Amazing places in the Alps.
New subscriber here from Ireland🍀🍀☘ love the content have a CRF Rally....VW Transporter and a trailer. so looking forward to the van tour 🤞🤞 Came over from Pavel's channel. keep up the great work
Awesome! Great to hear there is some love for these ride videos as they are my favorite to do 😄 Never been to Ireland but maybe the van will take a tour one day.
Bro, this is an amazing video ❤ I want to take my bike here.
TET northern italy is pretty amazing!
Love your video's Patched! And they seem to get better with every new one. Did you drive the CRF all the way from finland or did you take them with a car/bus?
I have a Spinter campervan that can fit the CRF and me both :) I'll make some kind of vanvideo later about the setup as people have been interested in it.
Thanks for the comment! Means a lot and good that there is some progress 😄
Great video and great channel! That tunnel was really scary! 😅
I guess TET Italy is not a place for big bikes? 🫣
Cheers from Stockholm, Sweden 🍻
The route was doable with a big bike. Snow is not there during summer :)
Greetings to Stockholm! :)
Awesome ride, I kinda reminds of Colorado here in the US
Well that's one more place to put on my bucket list then 😁
Yes like, more would be good
I hope to do a lot more.. some exotic winter riding videos too.
Thanks for the video, would be very interesting to find out what the deserted village was, maybe was construction workers village for the roads and tunnels.
I think I would feel better having a plastic bag full of screw in studs with you so if the trail gets too icey you have some way of continuing going over alpine passes, looked an enjoyable ride all the same.
No idea what the village was but it looked very old. Probably more fun to see me struggle with the stock rubber though 😆
Good to see some of the TET in Italy. You might find a mapping App such as Osmond or Locus gives you a lot more detail on your phone rather than Google.
I'm using Osmand on the video too 😊
Greeting from Raahe.
It seems you have bit better views than view on top of "kyöpelinvuori" 😅
Great videos, keep it going.
Have a great trip 👍
Just a small difference. Kyöpelinvuori is still a very beautiful place.. 🤣
Thanks 😎
Fantastic video and content! I was curious (maybe you've answered this question already somewhere else), is the crf300 in stock form, in particular the suspensions? (Cause if so, then not bad at all the motorcycle)
Thanks! I have actually upgraded the suspension to Rally-Raid Level 1 setup front and rear. This is a nice dualsporting setup but the front forks still don't cope well in an enduro track. I'm currently trying to figure out if I need a stiffer springs in the forks.
All the Honda content can be found on this playlist and I have more videos about the suspension coming on top of the ones I already have done: czcams.com/play/PLjuLZY6TnpPnQWrKL7vgN6eCmeAY5Ea4Z.html&si=RtljurdRXHGtKIi9
The stock suspension is pretty bad. It can be ridden but it's definitely very soft. My sag in the rear was 51% and I'm not a huge dude at 80kg (without gear)
ahh so cool, keep it up! Thumbs upp for the vid!!
Thanks fot the thumbs 🫡😄
@@PatchedBandit How is the Finnish TET? I wanna try some in this summer...
Well I'm gonna be biased and say the best part goes from Piehinki to Raahe to Siikajoki to Lumijoki in Finland.. because I made it 🤣
Finland is a country full of beautiful lake areas but TET itself is not a challenging ride 99% of the time. Most of TET Finland is pretty easy with nice views and nature so easy to tackle alone with almost any bike. Lots of hard packed gravel roads.
But if you want difficult Enduro riding you must get off the official TET.
Welcome to both my Discord servers especially the "Moto Travel Europe" server where you will find a lot of Finns willing to help you find some good riding to suite your needs. Also helpful to find help if you are in trouble anywhere in Europe. Links in the about page if you feel like it's something you might benefit from.
@@PatchedBandit Thanks alot dude! I think TET is enough for me! I am not really hard enduro guy! Can i ask what kind of a software are u using to edit videos? Wow it was a really creepy tunnel:)
I have done most of my videos with lumafusion(for ipad). But rescent edits I have updatet my setup and I edit on a macbook. I use apples own final cut pro and it is much faster than the ipad setup I used before.
But it was cheap and very nice basic software that could do a lot. But the more I edit the more I do some finer adjustments for sound etc. those are so much faster to do on final cut.
I tried my hardest to use DaVinci resolve as the free version is very versatile but it was so hard to learn that I found Final Cut to be an easier step to take from the lumafusion I used to edit with.
I think your gonna get a lot of views on your channel as long as you continue to put honda crf 300l in the title or something like this because people want to see what this bike is capable of doing.
Keep them coming and good job.
Thanks! I will do some tougher tracks in the future too. People will probably just see what I'm cabable of not the bike as it's way more cabable than me 😅
@@PatchedBandit - Yeeh, we all are just waiting for you to shit yourself.... 🤣🤣☢
"Best regards" from Norway.... 😎
Will happen eventually 😆💩
I looking to go the same way on the same bike at the same time........next year. Cheers.
These northern areas in Italy will not disappoint. There would have been so much more to ride but some of the areas were still so very cold and I didnt have winter gear with me 😄 I'm definitely going to return to the Alps to do a long run some day. Austria would be cool too but I have been told offroading there is forbidden so maybe not that cool to ride there..
Hi, thanks for another great video. How did you get the CRF from Sweden to Italy. Do you have a vehicle as a base which you park up and ride in the area.
I drive a long sprinter van built as a camper with a big 'back stable' that easily houses the CRF. I will make a separate detailed VAN video later to show my setup. Some pictures are already in instagram but nothing much from inside the van. *Finland, Not Sweden 😁
I do like that Wikiloc track. Ideal for my Beta Alp 200. Is Wikiloc a good source - or too difficult for normal enduros and riders? The Spaniards from Embarra2 put their tracks on Wikiloc. Heated grips, how convenient. I know that ristorante on Colle Melosa! The vistas on via del sale in Liguria are breathtaking, not for the fainthearted. That cave - cani means dogs. Enjoy your stay in Rome with the family, Günter/Nürnberg
Thanks! Wikiloc has all kinds of tracks. At least the paid version of the app allows searching for differing criterions and types of tracks. For example enduro Medium to hard etc.
Pretty nice app and I have found some interesting tracks from there that are not the basic TET that in most places with smaller bikes can be a bit boring.
@@PatchedBandit Thanks, guess I will have to join the club ;-) Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg

Those abandoned "villages" are most likely some military places that they built during World Wars or even before. And I think this was close to French border so they were probably built already when Napoleaon was about to attack Italia. This place? Ingresso Fortificazione sotterranea dl Balcone di Marta?
Sadly I didn't remember to look the place up on google (had no reception). Tried to find it with reasonable use of time but italy is so full of these ruins it was too much work :D
How many kms can you roughly get on tank ? And do ever need to take extra fuel bottle with you ?
I think around 200km on a tank is pushing it especially riding a bit harder. I have also feel that the Honda drinks a lot when riding on highway speeds like even a 100kmh(60mph). But I havent measured anything so don't take my word as gospel :)
I don't currently have any extra fuel solution but I'm looking for one desperately :D I might buy some cheap fuel bottle solution just to have some in these more rural rides..
Huippu video mutta ajappa varovasti t. Huolestunut isä 😮
Hiljoskellen vuorilla :)
I want to see the video van
Already started making it. Will try to get it out Asap but I’m just learning to do all this so its taking a bit longer for me than some of the bigger channels 😅
9:04 I don’t know why someone wrote “Cani Marci” on the snow, literally meaning“Rotten Dogs”.
Isn’t even an advice to identify there were wolf or some wild beasts.
Probably a joke.
IDK

Thanks for clarifying! I tried with google translate but was baffeld by the unclear translation. Thanks for commenting :)
The muffler is as silent as a child's breathing. Is it the original Honda one? If not, could you tell me the acronyms of the brand? Thank you.
Fully stock exhaust.
@@PatchedBandit Grazie infinite dalla Sicilia.
