Cheers thank you very much!!

Yes the sneakers were unfortunately really annoying for the film, however a fun little souvenir from a friend :) Cheers

@@hujeta6851recently i saw a video where a guy lost his leg because the wheel sucked in a loose sleeping bag strap so i check mine 3 times from now on )

Tack ska du ha! Hahah jaa jag blev lite rädd när det hände också kan jag säga 😂

@@hujeta6851 köper det!

Thanks so much man, really heartwarming to hear. I toured the Highlands a few years ago, on a GSX650F, and it was brilliant. Glencoe pass is unbelievable. Don't forget mosquito repellant!! I'd love to make a new video, got some more film equipment and honed skills now. My DR800 is in poor condition though, not sure if I'll keep it, get a new one or try another model alltogether.

Thanks for your hints. Looking forward to the trip :) How long do you own the DR and what would be an alternative for you, when you get a new one? I myself just love the simplicity and the looks of these 90s dual sports. Where are you from? Here in Germany you get those bikes in good condition for little money.

@@triumph4425 I had it for a year where I rode it actively, it was sitting unused for longer than that... Yes agree the 90's dakar inspired bikes are really cool. The DR's seems really undervalued overall in Europe at the moment. I just picked up an xt660r so hopefully there'll be some new videos of that this summer. I'm in Scandinavia btw

@@hujeta6851 Great! I travelled New Zealand on a XT660R - very reliable and comfy bike! Where from Scandinavia (if you don't mind me asking) - I'm a huge Sweden and Norway Fan. Did you travel the TET? Looking forward for your videos this summer. N

@@triumph4425 Oh that must've been awesome. I'm in Sweden. Haven't done much of the TET yet, but that's gonna change for sure as I now live only 20km away from it or so and that's part of why I got the 660!

Appreciate it, cheers bud!

Incredibly lucky! So unusual with this amount of snow this early in the season

@@hujeta6851 ya

Cheers man thanks, yeah awesome little bikes aren't they! :D

Thanks!!

They're nice! Quite different from Harley though. There's always one more motorcycle you need to satisfy all needs haha. Your English is no problem

I have a custom Harley I sold my second bike a gs 1150 and now I look for a dr 800, since I seen one at a gas station I know I want one.

hahaha

Ah, a fellow DR 800 rider! Yes passed through Antwerp and Brussels during my trip, a nice wee country! The port of Antwerpen was impressive, had difficulty finding any good dirt roads though...

Ah yes the Sr41! Those are getting rare, except if you're in the US cause that's the only models brought to NA. Definitely a cool machine, also the generation of DR's closest to the original Dakar race bike

She's a beauty to drive isn't she?

Do it, they're super fun, lightweight and flickable. Highways isn't where they shine thou haha

Thank you good sir! 🙌

Great to hear Chris! She's a lovely character allright. They're quite cheap at the moment, depending on where you are, but I suspect they'll soon rise in price

Thanks! I'm 6ft and it's great for me, the first generation (750) had less knee room though with the bigger tank. It was a great trip, only downside is it ended!

I think there's not really a problem getting parts. There is a German shop, Dr big shop, run by Rallye profile Stefan Hessler who still supplies some parts and also performance parts. I believe he also does engine jobs.

Cheers! :) I had a few days in Belgium on this trip, and some parts of the video are shot in Belgium. In Sweden there's no trouble finding gravel roads, pretty much everywhere when it gets rural it's gonna be gravel roads... TET app/ map is also useful. As for rest of Scandinavia I don't know how much gravel/ off road possibility there is.

I'm very happy to hear that, thank you!!

Cracking bike indeed! Cheers :)
