After not riding for 15 years, bought a 90’s 600cc enduro. Don’t plan on changing it any time soon. Any bike is adventure bike if you feel comfortable and unburdened with it.

crf rally dual over 40

I'm 45 and bought my first motorcycle last month!

For a moment before the clip played, I genuinely thought "you can end up in a sailing boat" must be a Swedish idiom for getting yourself into a bad situation.

They're here !!!

❤️

I started riding a Royal Enfield Himalayan when I was 45. It was my first bike and helped me a lot getting out of the pandemic. Last August I exchanged it for a Benelli TRK 702X and couldn't be happier. I totally agree with every single thing you are saying in the video - it is exactly like this. :)

I really enjoyed the video and completely agree with the logic behind the gear choices. I also watched your clutch video and would have loved to see how you replaced the clutch cable as well. Watching Tenere service mechanic videos are incredibly valuable for learning on our own... hopefully in the future

I’m getting my first bike at 47 lol

I bought my first one at 38. Hehe

Started with 30, quit with 35. Cars are just better 😂

I got my first motorcycle a crf300L a few years ago for a 40th bday present to myself!

How’s the suspension out of the box? Did you need to change the shock spring rate or anything? Clicker settings from AJP sufficient? Definitely on my short list considering what you get for your money, a lot less mods needed.

nice one, can you tell me what socket size for those 6 bolts underneath the clutch cover? that holds clutch plates.

what is the name and model of the black bike...it looks superb

Good video. We have a lot of the same Mosko Moto gear too.

I am 48, whole life i was scared to ride but deep down i have passion for riding bikes since i was kid, but the driving fear made me stop it, but seeing your video i feel that i should start it.

the thing I learned quickly about your buddy is that when he smiles at you he's thinking of something mischievous. He seems to ALWAYS be smiling.

Gday Robert, Steve here from Australia. I have a YT motorcycle review channel here in Aus, what you covered here is very good advice for over 40’s. I’m in my mid 60’s now and have been riding for over 50 years , I love my big heavy adventure bikes BUT am well aware of the fact that they are becoming harder both physically and mentally to operate. I have seen many friends that have suffered knee & shoulder injuries that probably would not have happened if they were riding lighter machines as you advise in your comments, in some cases they have had to give up riding. In many ways (excluding the lower power factor) lighter bikes are actually more fun ! They allow you to explore far more territory & will probably extend your riding years. First time looking at your channel, you do a great job. 👍

This time you will have to come to Turkeye alone. But okay, this time I'll buy the beers.

I'm 36, so apologies for being 4 years early. Getting my motorbike licence in April and these videos have been incredibly helpful, thank you. Love your relaxed presentation style too!

Thanks for inviting us into your home … ahem, …garage! I did not expect to find it as interesting as I did. And I could certainly smell it!

thank you for this video. I'm 44 and I just bought my first Harley!

Haha great video. Sons will eat you out of house and home!

I’ll be turning 40 in April😊, and I can tell that my 40s are going to be my best years, because I know my history, what I’ve been through, and how much I’ve changed. I’m excited to try new things, travel, explore, and just do things I’ve put off for so long.

Just getting started at 43 here, great video, thanks!

Hi Robert nice video. I've been riding bikes (motorcycle and cycle) since I was 20 (and less with cycles) , but all my motorbikes were road bikes. I did have a GS1200 at one point and did some long trips on it, but in my eyes it was strictly for the tarmac roads. Off-road was really scary (no lower seat available when the 2008 Adventure came out). I always fancied going off-road and when I got a Ducati Scrambler back in 2018 (what a great bike for eating up the road miles!) I thought: "Lets have a go on some of my local trails". Well, it was like trying to lug a few 25kg bags of cement around and definitely not to be recommended. So I went to the other extreme - my heart said: "KTM 300 two-stroke - what an awesome looking bike!". And it was awesome. Awesome on the road (even with knobbly tyres) and awesome off-road - like you said in the video it made what had previously seemed impossible to be downright easy. BUT - one caveat: the EXC300 is awesome off-road, but I definitely am not and I did have a few scrapes with it. I started doing roadbook rallies in the UK - lots of gravel roads with tarmac in between and I went for a second bike. Heavier and more road biased, a GasGas ES700. Very capable on road, but not so good off-road, especially in the tricky stuff. Then I had my two lovely bikes stolen in 2022 out of my garage. What did I replace them with? well, one bike for now and it's one of the lightest on the market here in the UK - a Montesa 4Ride. The off-road became even easier than with the KTM and I quickly wished I had started my off-road journey with this bike and worked up. The Montesa is easily capable of competing in a 500km 2-day roadbook rally, although it requires more fuel stops, and I swear I'm way faster in the tricky stuff because it's all so easy. Tarmac roads need a change of attitude though. Now I'm thinking of perhaps doing some longer trips as well as the rallies and have started to look at something a bit more capable on the tarmac. Perhaps a manufacturer will come up with something really simple in the 100-110kg range with a chassis like the KTM enduros, an engine as tractable as the Montesa (with a steering geometry to match) and the service intervals and reliability of a Suzuki DR-Z400. I'll keep dreaming!

I come here after watched you trip to Turkey, its algoritm!

I love motorcycling and I started doing it quite seriously from the age of 40. Now I am 46 and getting more experienced. The only so-called "challenge" doing this sport is, it can a little bit lonely. My friends or close relatives are either too busy with family and kids (I dont have kids which makes it easier to take time off for it..) or they are not into it. So cruising around on my own for a couple of days is fun. But I have been on trips for about 2-3 weeks on my own, and those trips would have been more fun doing them with like-minded people. I have been wondering how many people here are riding on their own vs. with other folks?

Excelente explanação! Exatamente o correto é isso compre pelo coração, porém ao final. Seja inteligente, a razão é mais importante!

I am 46 now, and I have always driven Harleys for my adventures :) Went across Australia (8,000km+) on a Heritage Softail! A heavy bike, incl. luggage, but best cruiser in my opinion. Had a lot of fun with a Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 when driving across Portugal as well. Smaller bikes are fun too..

This is great cliff notes... I've been riding my KTM 1090 for 5yrs, and I have yet to change my setting.

I am almost 70. I ride a KTM 790 adventure. Love it but getting heavy for my old bones. Will get. 300 kawasaki soon. Just keep riding slower but enjoying every minute

20k subs in 1 month 🫡 my channel feels so small hahaha , Im not crying , your crying 😅

Hi Robert, Ive only just found out about the Nomad Channel, my bad for not hitting the bell switch, Was thinking today that I haven't seen a post in ages, but found you here & subbed mate, my little channel's building bit by bit & youve always been an inspiration, So its good to find your new solo posts buddy Cheers

damn young boys around here ;-) I get 64 in August (this year) and i have a HONDA CF 450 L (besides TRIUMPH TIGER 1050 sport, YAMAHA TRACER 7), that I will complete this year for longer ADV rides biggest problem: enlarging fuel capacity (IMS 3 gallon available - IMS 4,5 gallon expected to come), fuelfriends / rotopax 1 - 2 gallons added ??? . At least I will end with a range of 350 -400 km. Hm, schould I have a look on the AJP ???? I am sure, we will see soon much more ADV-bikes around 50-60 HP, 450 - 700 ccm. Had also a HONDA 300 Rally (bought for my wife)... but sold, because to weak in power and syspensions. What is the recommended "solution" of you ... community?

i will be 40 this year. i have been riding since age 24. still have my first bike touring ready. over 130k km and still brilliant. yes ofcourse its japanese. Yamaha infact. yes already starting to not take care about what others say and inride for my self.

I'm in!!!

I hope you don't feel guilty living a privileged life that your ancestors built. Be thankful for that sacrifice and don't let your stupid guilt ridden politicians ruin all that hard work by letting in people that couldn't build their own civilizations.

Dolly Parton?!😂 where that come from?

Telling a guy he's having a "midlife crisis" is like telling a woman she has "daddy issues". Get a motorcycle.

20k subscribers already, not really surprising. 👍

Thank you, Robert, safe travels!

Started at 41 as my life became stale, only work-home, wasting weekends sleeping and watching netflix. Now I feel I'm alive again, planning new adventures, riding solo out of cities into the "wild"😂 The only drawback is that it becomes addictive!! I seriously have withdrawal when the winter comes and I cant ride😢 Wife, no kids, living in a bit poorer country😅 Love your content as I can relate:)

Lv. 42 here:) I'm in the process of downsizing from 800cc adv bike to a smaller one for more offroad😅

Sweet man cave. Don't know where you live but greetings from a hard core rider from the USA. BORN ON A MOUNTAIN RAISED IN A CAVE. BIKIN AND FUCKIN IS ALL I CRAVE.

Good video. For my mental health, I unsubscribed from all social media and the time that most people waste looking at a screen, I go out and enjoy riding my Triumph

nice info. Thanks Robert

Do you have electronic cruise control or a throttle lock. I guess no as you did not mention it. Do you think that would be a good upgrade? Thanks for your review.

Polls show that men report to be happier the older they get,, 20s to be the saddest reported age the 30s all the way to 70 its an increase on happiness, the slowly decades, unlike women that they are happier at their 20s and then slowly decades after 30. This are just thousands of people reporting how they feel,not how they felt in another time, not precisely science but still interesting
