- This ride was the craziest thing I've done for sure. New bikes, new trails and a very uncomfortable experience.

Liking the adventure videos just as much as the enduro videos. Keep making them both!
Indeed!
The bridge is 100 % legal to ride over. There even used to be a toll both at the Barmouth side. I’ve rode over it many times , unfortunately you do get some evil looks of some of the walkers and happens these are always tourists and don’t know it’s a legal right of way for motorcycles. Happy adventure riding 👍
True that we hike and bike and do motorcycle. This look like walkers want one the roads lol
Enjoyed this edition and look forward to further Adv trips. Good work.👌
Really enjoyed this video was great fun to watch you try new things keep it up with the awesome adventures mate 👍
This video just popped up in my recommended, it was really fun to watch! Also it moved the UK a few places up on the list of where I wanna ride to
The adventure content is mega, keep it up!
Your windscreen has two different mounting options, it looks like yours is in the lower setting. Try switching it around and see if the buffeting gets better. It's just one screw in the front and you pull it out and move it.
As far as exhaust, Wings, Arrow, Remus or Dobermann slip-ons sounds the best imo, especially if you also get a decat midpipe.
Have fun and spend the entire youtube fortune on farkles for the bike!
Looking at getting a T7 soon so perfect timing for this content! Loving it keep it coming 😍
Great content! Keep 'em coming!
Loving the videos on the adv bikes mate !! Desperately trying to get my mate on one I’ve got a T7 and it’s amazing. See you in wales soon hopefully on a trail haha
Another great video! Just fitted a Black Widow slip on exhaust on to my 890 Adv R, sounds better with removable baffle and well made for not a lot of money if i chuck it down the trail. Saves my stock exhaust for resale.
New subscriber to the channel. Great content and I enjoyed the random commentary. You sound like me in my helmet when I'm out riding. Random tidbits, some singing, etc. Cheers from the other side of the pond in Huntsville, Alabama, USA!
I gotta say I’m absolutely IN LOVE with the new 890 Adventure R, I can’t wait to buy one my self 💪🏻
Awsome content and looking forward to more adventures, ever thought about considering the NC500 or maby the Isle of man? Before you guys start thinking going abroad lol. Can't wait for you guys to have multi coms 🤦♂️ 😂 the constant banter is gonna be so funny 😂
Love the enduro and the adventure vids keep up the good work
9:55 The only one that parked the correct way 🤣👌
boom!!!! haha I tried to tell em 😂
Had the same experience going over that bridge last year. So many dirty looks, great experience though. Can’t wait to head back to Wales at some stage. Cheers from the Emerald Isle 🇮🇪
Love it
yeah, I've been across Barmouth bridge on an R1200RT...in the rain!
That was fun!
It only just fitted in some places
Did the other toll bridge a bit further up as well - 52p as I recall and they don't give change!
I did it on my GL1500 fully loaded with the wife on the back too, great experience.
The ride and view along the A496 out of Barmouth North towards Snowdonia is stunning 👍
That looked like so much fun! If you're ever going to the eastern part of the Netherlands, I'd love to tag along for a bit 👍🏻
Great video would love to do this on my Honda AT have you got any links to the route you did
Keep up the great work
Loving this content and good to see your friends have adv bikes now too. Excited to see where you take this section of your channel …. As for the screen, the Puig sport screen and Rade garage rally screen are a good replacement for the stock screen in terms of improving the buffeting. Rebelxsports also make bolt on side panels which makes a huge difference too 👍
Just ordered my 890 adventure... Your video has made me so excited!! 🤣
Great to see, keep up the videos
Have done that bridge many a time. Some great trails around Barmouth! 🤙
I go over that Mawddach trail all the time on my mountain bike! I live in barmouth and it’s really cool seeing one of my favorite enduro riders take a trip there 😆really enjoyed this video, I met Robert marsh at the mickextance experience as well through your content🤙🏻😁
Great vid. Love my 890. You can adjust the screen, there's a bolt you need a torx key for but it has two positions. Not an "on the fly" adjustment, but adjustment none the less.
Thanks for the tip buddy. Appreciate it
Bala to Barmouth then tywyn via coast road thru,aberdyfi then to Corris, then lake vyrnway and back home nice Sunday ride 👍🏻
Mate, I grew up in north Wales and still come over from America to visit family now and then. Next time I'm bringing gear and renting a bike to explore this area. Looks mega!
We recently did a bit from the TeT portugal and it is brutal. Incredible how these machines performe ofroading. Just wish I could speek like you would make my videos so much better hehe
Love the new dimension to your channel mate. 👍
Glad you enjoy this content buddy. Super fun to make
Looks like a blast. Get on those other bikes and record it! That 1190 has got to be a beast green laning, or whatever it’s called 😅
Great watch 😊 happy you got some mates 😂 ….. but you need to pull your mirror rubbers down?
Hè man love your channel, the places where you ride are amazing. i have a Beta 300 2T and a KTM adventure 890R to.
Nice trip with beautiful place😊
Spotted the Havoc goggles, nice to see Voom Voom Dana and Joey Mac stuff about.
Subscribing after watching your adventure stuff, a tip for riding with your mates: Get yourselves a pair of Sena Intercoms so you can have some bants while riding on the trails! Especially with the very efficient meshing tech for the new ones... It makes such a difference for long rides and even while driving solo, because then you can have some music or a podcast on while also having google maps helping you navigate.
really cool of the boys to get adv bikes too. That's true friendship right there.
Unreal
Road looks awesome, TET? Just done Conwy to Ullapool on a CG125😂 great vid
You need to get to the end! Uwchmynydd past Aberdaron and you'll see coast of Dunlearie on a VERY clear day. Was this route taking in Strata Florida at all?
No we didn’t do strata but keen to keep going from Barmouth
Great lanes around there ❤❤❤
Hey mate! I'm from Brazil and I love your content. Keep us uptade with more awesome videos like this! shout out to all brazilians fans
Something big the end of May! Hmmm Midwest riding the Erzberg Rodeo😂😂
Great trip out, first of many! 😉
quite enjoying these adventure bike rides, just sat my mod1 test and got my mod 2 test soon ! What do you use for finding green lanes ? Northumberland has a load of riding up here, was camping last year and got talking to a bloke from london he had done over 800 miles in the 7 days he was up here for !!
Its amazing with all thoes small roads you got, wish we got some of that i Denmark.
I've been considering an adventure or scrambler style bike for a while now, cool to see you're enjoying yours so much looks like a ton of fun! Now I've just gotta talk my buddies into get some as well lol.
Do it!
The 990 is a tank. The 640adv was a good combination of performance and lighter weight adv, sorta before it's time.
So awesome your mates caught the disease😄The best of both worlds. Being so close to Isle on Mann, you guys need to make a trip for the TT some year✌
Funny how someone elses freedom is disgusting to others.
I wanmmmaaaaa do this , so jealous boys , this was diff to the pro jarvis enduro that we normally love to see , the road tires were definitely a bit sketch but hahahaaaaaa!
Norway would be an insane roadtrip.
Gutted, I'm just round the corner, could of join up at some point. Great video as always
Great video. Give strata florida a go or ba***rd Lane. Great fun. Keep it going.😊
we do the Llangollen to barmouth trip at least twice a year with RM trials riding,,,, its ace
I get similar looks when I'm on my ebike lol.
I'm thinking of getting back on motorbikes again now but would miss the ebike that can go pretty much anywhere, how many of these green lanes are there around Yorkshire I wonder?
I was thinking of getting a fjr1300 but now thinking an adventure bike might be the way to go.
Riding that bridge in the rain was…interesting when i got the chance to 😂
690 is a good option lots smaller and good on the road. I think you have the best of the bunch though! Great vids, love them welcome to the scene! Wherabouts in Wales were you riding? (Did you say Barmouth) Stunning worth the long trip I think from South East!!
Barmouth bridge is great 👍🏻
I sooo wanna go there! What a beautiful place.
Big bikes!!!! BAAAAAARP!
Ah I love picking them up after a crash!
I wish I could like the video multiple times 😂
you got da boyeeee's to get adventure bikes! #influence
I’d rather these videos the views were amazing looking forward to seeing more of this stuff
Glad you enjoyed
Hey mate just wanted to say I’m enjoying the adventure content!
I also have a bonus question if you will.. what’s the yellow klim jacket you’re wearing? Quite like the look of it
I can’t remember the actual name to be honest. I’ve had it a few years now but it’s mega
Beach Race is good at Barmouth if youve never been. On around October time
I rode that bridge a while back on a trip from rhayder and back to Barmouth when I was on a 125 it does just feel wrong but it is 100% legal because it used to be a toll road :)
Yeah it's a crazy feeling
I went to this place on holiday it’s called aberdyfi I think that’s how you spell it. But I thought it was crazy that you went to the place I recently started at😂. Loved the video
Awesome bike squad 🤛🏼🤛🏼
Where did the off-road trail start after you set off from the beginning so others can experience it?
By Machynlleth. You can find it on a green lane map
Brilliant video mate, I do the rallymoto events. You guys would love them 👍🏻
classic bridge 👌🏼
you don't understand how entertaining your content actually is
It’s hard to find what people actually enjoy as it’s such a mixed response. Appreciate you man
@@MidWestMX as another welshman, it's amazing seeing other parts of wales we don't get to see down in the south!
I love this video! I have a couple of mates who I’m going to tour Wales on adventure bikes. I have a KTM 790 Adventure. Any chance you could post the route or put a link to it somewhere please?
Barmouth, fairborne bridge,
Get yourself on the Santander ferry, Northern Spain, Picos mountains then down into Portugal 👍
Great trails - might take my Royal Enfield greenlaner along for a civilised bimble.
what is the mic that you use
Had a 950 back in the day complete wheelie wagon ✊🏻
Sorry if it's been asked before (too many comments to look through) but I'm wondering why the covers that cover up your mirror arm locking nuts at the bottom are half way up your mirror arms, I'm guessing you forgot to put them back down after adjusting them? My OCD
won't let me not comment on it☹
Cool vidos) Where can you buy a bike like this, how much is such a bike?
I thought that was you on Barmouth bridge on Saturday. I recognised the bike/coat/ helmet combo. I think you called us “real bikers” parked on the bridge. We did most of those lanes as well as bastard lane and happy valley bombers lane too. Absolutely mind blowing scenery, shame it rained on Sunday 😢
how do you guys find those lanes? im from germany and trail riding is illegal here so my wife and i plan to go on Motorcycle holiday this summer in wales. any tips how to start looking for green lanes? how do i know if i am allowed to ride there?
West Wales lots of trails down by me
Norway, Germany, Czech, Italian dolomites, Swiss Alps, French Alps, Pyrenees, France itself all over, Spain ... Poland ... honestly, if you're just getting into touring.. you've got loads to go at. Check out the TET, I'm sure you've already heard about it.. Trans Euro Trail ...
Yeah we have big plans to do some of the TET. This sport just has so many adventure opportunities. Love it
20:38 The Toll Booth being closed is one of the signs that the bridge will at some stage be condemned, as there isn't enough money to keep it in good repair.
What about the train line?
@@MidWestMX Actually I've just checked - after decades of neglect Network Rail has recently chosen to save the bridge and completely refurbish it for a claimed £30m. So looks like its survival is assured. 👍👍
I have a norden 901, 890 sister. And they are shockingly capable machines.
Cracking vid have got gpx for that lad love to do it.
The ADV bois!
How was your day/night? From Australia
Subscribing for the adventure stuff! Really dig these video's. Thought hard lately about trading my sport for an adventure bike.
Welcome.
Could you possibly make a video or paste a link to your chin mount for the go pro?
It’s in the description buddy
Wicked video
Dint care first already started already enjoying
best intercoms ive used are the cardo spirits
Is the UK considered MidWest? I live in the "MidWest" of America and have been confused by your channel lol. I love the KTM content though :)
Where is this route and how to i get onto it? is it a paid thing?
Heaven. I’m incredibly jealous
How do I find adventure friends, please do a video on it
I just convinced my riding buddies to get some adventure bikes. But try some facebook groups. Everyone's keen to ride with new people.
I'm pretty sure that there is a 12mph speed limit on shared usage roads like going over that bridge
Go ride in Bala or llanderfel it's a good place
890 is a sweet bike. I’m curious if the 690 was on your radar at any point when deciding what to go with?
No I never considered it to be honest. I knew the 890 would be good on the road and offroad. Just enough power to be happy
@@MidWestMX hell yea, looking forward to more adv stuff. Love it all, seriously great channel 🤙🏻
Davey Jones' Locker in Barmouth does a good breakfast.
It'd suggest wearing armored gloves now that your riding on roads, you dont want your thin gloves to make contact on tarmac.
Can't wait until you Moto camp.
Put a arrow exhaust and a quick shifter on would sound very nice
I have a quick shifter, I just found out 🤣
@@MidWestMX my friends dad has a quick shifter with a new exhaust on it and then every time he shifts it makes a pop noise like a golf 7R it sounds so nice
I prefer this content to the enduro stuff myself
