What about Oxford over grips? The "Hot Hands" , put them on in the months you need them, take them off when you don't. Fit them to a switched live and off you go. Put them on, take them off as you need.

HAHA Pastel De Nata yummo, great vid and the amazing Gas - Gas seems to be a great choice for your new adventures :)

Steven, you are living the dream as painful as it can be. Can't wait for the next t shirt. Cheers

Very interesting and enjoyable......looking forward to the next one, still laughing about the Portuguese tart!!

Good one Steven. 👍

Enjoy Mr B, Gas gas adventures look forward to hearing about them...

Its a great bike, I got mine in 2019 and have best. Best is the engine and the range, can do 220-240km on mine before gas refil What I dont like so much is the heat (very hot) from the muffler and the handguards as stock.

Great to hear from you. Trails on a gas gas in France sounds awesome! Looking forward to hearing more. All the best, ride safe.

thank you for your information. Going to Sardinia next September with two other friends from Malta.

What a Mare !!!!!!!!. Again modifications required & great job.. Left hooker Bike :) :) :) :)

Tiger Seal seems the way forward....Great job Mr B. PAin in the A%% however how fortunate you are handy eh eh eh.....And well done with the seals of doom...

Why has no one talked about this before, I would go one step further, take your wife/GF. There is nothing better for bringing a couple together and its safer with two sets of eyes. A few years back we bought a Vespa GTS 125 in north Norfolk and rode it back to our house in central Portugal...with the missus. You have the right attitude to biking and life. We have bikes and a small campervan and tour on two and four wheels, last year is was Greece and Turkey and like you went to the Red Sea in Bulgaria. I am 72 now and life is short, too short to stay home, even when that home is lovely Portugal.

Which fuel cap did you go with? Noticed you went past that bit pretty quick.

😂 “ theyre Indicators” what do they ‘ indicate’? Direction Then call them “ Directionals”😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks for the update, good to hear what you’re up to. Well done for finding a reason for another bike 😂

The star bordered in red. It's almost mocking.

With such a small drop in the level could just be the temperature of the fuel cooling down overnight.

I have the rade garage tank and it still leaks, how did your shortened bolt workout?

Thankyou great vid 🙏

Electronics are a safety features they are forced upon us by our government powers. You are correct in thoughts.

What a Great story just found the channel enjoy Your style of content.

Just waiting for my 701 and hoping to do a Spanish TET next year. Thanks for the videos, loved the style and content. Dealer woes, have I made the right decision - Hmmm

I bought a dirt bike but I don’t want mud on it! 😂😂😂

I ride solo 98% of the time. "retired" amateur roadracer, so most are too slow.. but some are too fast for my taste. I like Ienatsch's "The Pace", but make it a quick one. IBA member, so endurance is higher than average. If I'm out to really ride, it's solo. Everything else is "socializing with motorcycles".

A few years back I did a solo ride that was 80 days / ~ 43,000 km. There are 65 capital cities in Canada and the USA and my goal was to see 63 of them. (Exclude Honalulu & Iqaluit). I missed Juneau due to a rock slide that blocked the one road access so I reached 62 of them. The longest single day ride was 16+ hours / 1180 km - Whitehorse to Hazelton, BC, on the way to Victoria, BC. I always knew what my next destination was but how I got there was seldom planned ahead of time so I could never make a motel reservation. The other long solo trip was in western Europe - 70 days / ~ 24,000 km. I visited 17 countries. The only specific places I wanted to visit were some of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetaries, particularly the one at Ortona. (It was 70th anniversary of the end of WW II. ) Again I never knew where I was going to stop for the night. Riding solo permits a great deal of flexibility on the roure and schedule. I recommend it highly.

👍🏾👍🏾

I have had 4 x Rade tank failures. They claim to have fixed the problem with where the metal joins to the plastic but if yours have failed in the last few weeks, I don't hold any hope for mine.

Hahaaa, now you got it! Romanians are nice people, until your cross the Carpathians. As soon as you leave the region of Transylvania and go South, Lord bless you.

Have you filled your quota for the Spain trip?

at 165 Pounds for that seat gel kit, given all the work you put in modifying your seat, seems like you may have been better off buying the Seat Concepts seat.

That seems to be way with manufactures , take your money fob off your problems with b/s

Next time you do fork seals get SKF seals, more expensive but way better product than I saw in your hand.

Thanks chap, enjoyed that. Doing forks has always felt scary to me but you make it seem less so!

Thanks for your content..tales like these certainly influence which bikes I buy and I think I'll steer clear of a husky, thanks 😄

fill the wheels with 200ml of stans tubeless gloop as you mount them, it is liquid that seals and goes stiff if it finds air - as for fork seals, they go - that is life on dirtbikes and 4k is not bad at all, i bet you jet wash your bike ? Often you may have some shit stuck in there allowing the oil to leak and you can clean them out with a very thin piece of plastic or a specific seal saver tool

Very interesting, I would like to know what booking site you use to get offered truckers to share with !!! I didn’t get that offer . No seriously I’m on my way home now after a month in Spain , Portugal , Sardinia and Italy , bit of off road in Portugal ,riding in the mountains in Italy ,all on my own in Spain ,Sardinia and Italy , thoroughly recommend doing these trips as you say but be aware alone is dangerous in sparse areas . Be safe .

Good to hear your trip went well, thanks for the video, you make the point of being alone in the middle of nowhere and the possibility of getting in to trouble, something I'm not sure I would risk, we all know our limits I suppose but that would always be in the back of my mind. The pictures look great and I enjoyed listening, thanks

Sounds to me like you would be better picking a location somewhere in spain or portugal and going out on different loops each day, that would get you your preferred base/hotel of choice and you would also get the variation on riding and ability to choose what to do with your time. On your point about the concentration and missing the landscape etc, well you are riding a motorcycle off road alone and in a foreign land often away from anywhere as you say - focus on the challenge is paramount - your health is at risk as i am sure you well aware. There was absolutely nothing stopping you from making different choices along the way which you rightly did after a few days in the saddle, experience gained - well done for doing it and i hope the next one works out more to your liking, that said i struggle when i hear these stories because it is almost like people out there think what they read and see will not apply to them when on the TET. Simply out riding in the UK you may never bump into someone in a 12 hour ride, never mind in the Spanish deserts or mountains, my mind boggles.

OhDear, Great audio, found a joke at (about 'being able' to afford luxury @ certain stage in life) 20:06.

Did you have any other issues ? I mean Electrical or engine or injection?

Does any one know if you can get an after market exhaust or can you remove the baffles want it to sound more like a 650 single i feel the sound is poor but i do love the bike

Oooooh , always carry your V5 when you leave the UK.

Nice one, I agree and would add my take - it is often the stopping en route I love. I don`t use sat nav, I like to map read and often will have a chat with whoever is around, they will often suggest some cafe, or point of interest you would never have found.

Curious abt the new tyres. Were they the same diameter? I've seen another video criticising them.

Very useful video. I love that comment about the frond mud guard. 🤣

Your an entertaining man good to listen to funny in a good way 😂😂

Safe travels Mr B.. look forward to updates and glad to hear you have not opted for the Sainsbury`s bag and gone running water/WC etc haha....

I was recently in an accident where the driver in front slammed on the brakes and I couldn't do it on time. My motorcycle skidded and I had the whole left side rib cage broken. Underwent a chest reconstruction surgery. If there was an automatic braking and abs on my bike, I could have saved 6 months of agony. There is definitely some place for tech.

More like Temu ripped off the design, down to the serial number. This is not uncommon in China. The reflectors in headlights are designed for the bulb they use. So yes, you can change the bulb, and have a brighter light but don't expect the light pattern to be as good.
