Helpfull. Thank you sir.

Excelente ruta 👍🏼

Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused how to set up my new mic with the shock mount and I was scared of just trying stuff out, so this really helped!

My early mistakes are: going out far by myself without a Spot and lifting the bike with poor technique. I felt my disc slip a little, but was unharmed. What I did well was wearing good boots. My foot was still bruised and I hate to imagine what would happen otherwise. And I took a class early on.

MIDDLE AGED fat. useless . no prep and plan. great protective clothing. well done you.

Don't get it, mistake that you got gs or what

Honestly I’m thinking about starting on the 750gs with no motorcycle experience. It didn’t feel to cramped at 6’1

Merci tres bien

Je roule en BM aussi, nice video, l’a je veux le titre de la chanson 😜

So true ,gear nb

Buy a 250-400 (beware of wheelies etc on 450s) with knobbies and go to some dual sport rides to learn to ride off blacktop if you haven't grown up riding dirt. Started dual sport events, a few each year for 11 years now. Still enjoy those days, some sand, some woods, some coal fields, some rocks, some hills and dales and dirt roads. Now own a 1200GS too and enjoy it one or two-up on dirt roads. For the gulleys, I'll pick the 250 that I can lift off my leg when I stall and fall.

I don’t really understand what your point is, you were just riding a dirt road.

C'est quoi le nom du groupe de musique sur ton vidéo?

Safe ride,..yes you done right desecion when you turn back,..with same mistakes you mentioned..one of work colleagues he was in same your condition and he continued to go ,drop the Mighty GS down,injured..( no safety gear,street tyres,..no basic skill..).. Thank you for sharing your story,..

Good video but very bad instructions; using "this", "that", "here", "there", as pointers can get really confusing when i sometimes can't see what you're pointing at.

Hey, dont be so hard on yourself. Life is a learning curve. Ive been riding on and off road 30 yrs and i still fuck up. Be nice to yourself. Enjoy, and well done on your English.

C'est vraiment le fun l'ile d'Orléans !

Brilliant honest video, don’t beat yourself up , learning a new motorcycle is an art that takes time , you’ll soon get the hang of it and start enjoying what it brings to your life . Cool bike 👍🏼

ok… ok…

Is this for real? You were just on gravel.

Thanks for being honest, on your faults. I was going to jump your shit, when I saw you with no jacket. But then you made your statement. I am 67, I have had my foot/leg pinned underneath my panniers, my r1200 GSA, had the BMW panniers, until I bent one, then switched to the Jessie’s , I pinned my leg on a dirt road, alone..I had cell phone service, had to call for help, I will be going to soft packs soon, I have dropped the bike 10 or so times, best time to drop the bike, is with friends..start learning how to pick up your bike, and carry a small rope/tie down, so you can use to pull your bike around, if it falls in a rut.if it falls in a deep one, you won’t be able to lift it. Good luck…

Great Video. You make mistakes just like everyone else, but at least you are Man enough to Admit them and Learn from them. Some of the Comments on here are just from Cocky Ignorant Riders that will be the First to get hurt riding. I think you did a Great Job. You turned around when you realized that the Trail was above your Skill level for now. You’re doing a Great Job recognizing and learning. Like I said, Great Video.👍 new Subscriber and look forward to more.

ok

This cable low noise?

Ride on

You made it to a windmill 😁🤙 I come d you for being open with your experience and sharing it. I'm thinking about getting a 1200GS. Looking forward to many adventures.

ok but why is it good quality? I get that it feels good to you but you shoud provide objective facts, at least the material: plastic or metal?

Useful video. I'm assuming that this same setup will work with any boom arm - not just the official RODE PSA1?

I also noticed you went offroad by yourself. That isn't smart. If you fall, there is nobody who can help you if you get stuck under the bike. Enjoy the bike, it's great

HI, welcome to these awesome bikes. Take a class, I learned the hard way on a long ride, way above my skill set. I HIGHLY recommend Rawhyde classes. Their beginner off road class will teach you the basics, starting with how to get on and then also pick up the bike. The confidence you will gain is AMAZING. ride safe

I just started a little offroad on my 2012 GS... thanks for sharing

What a useless video...

Thanks for sharing the errors you made and for emphasizing the associated risks. I too transitioned from street to ADV but DID take the Rawhyde course which was exceedingly helpful. I agree with every suggestion you made and have managed 3.5yrs on my F800 GS without injury. My new 1250GSA is on order and I will return to Rawhyde for specific training on that bike. They are extraordinary machines yet very different than other bikes both in stature and versatility. I wish more people made videos of this nature for persons new to ADV bikes to learn the various pitfalls before the lesson is learned firsthand.

Glad you protect ourself but don't be so hard on yourself.

Big GS is great touring bike but could be nightmare for off road.Way too heavy cow. Besides the weight tires is the most important issue for offroading.

You can put her on the central stand anytime and crank her around!

the feiyu on says my current version is 1.026 and the latest, however I know there is v1.027 which fixes the creep. Th eapp does not allow me to download that. Any suggestions?

Those hard paniers can be bad news if you drop the bike on your leg

J'ai fait le chemin en sens inverse et c'était débile

En parlant de cette région de La Tuque, roulez vers le nord jusqu'au kilomètre 150. Tournez à votre droite vers le lac Édouard. C'est la route surnommée "montagne russe" ! Vous allez adorez

BMW is over rated and is not the most dependable.

First mistake I saw is sitting down! Stand up it’s much easier to control the bike.

thank you for sharing it helps all new riders...cheers

At first, the text was like" OH! THANK YOU GS!" :/ And then you explain that you did not understand the Machine. You also explain how Full-gear is important for safety - Despite the Hotness XD Good on'ya! - Well done! <3 This video is important for me as a new GSA owner! Thank you! I am still intimidated by the power and heaviness of the GSA! It is a lot of Motorcycle for me! - But I am conscientious ;)

Thank You Man.

I can remember how intimidating my first GS was back in 2012, took quite a while to get used to it and my first time off road was a nightmare despite having a lot of experience at that time riding dirt bikes. Now I don’t want to ride anything else, and when I do I instantly confirm why. Tires do also make a difference, and a good compromise between everything is important. I found that in the Michelin Anakee Adventure tires, but we’re all different and finding your perfect tire is part of the fun. The only way to build confidence is through practise, and getting used to the bike moving underneath you on loose gravel. Training is also a great way to build confidence quickly. Most importantly, just have fun and don’t be too hard on yourself, we all start at exactly the same place, scared as hell and rather horrible at everything. PS: a light coloured mesh motorcycle jacket works even better on a hot day than a t-shirt since it keeps the sun off your skin.

I took my yamaha R3 on a road like that. And the key is just be loose, let the bike do its thing, let the suspension do its thing, You can hold the accelerator with a finger and thumb and go. Take you hand off the clutch ride with one hand and chill. Just watch the terrain and dont ride on the sidewall of a rut.

That is a main road for a GS , grow some balls

After many years of riding only road bike the transition to an adventure bike has been difficult for me. They are top heavy and sit really high. Going off-road has been a work in progress sadly most of the roads are full of deep sand and I continue to fall often. Hopefully I can get the skills I need by practicing and avoid injury. Definitely a challenge for me.

Nice video .
