another north wales mid week wobble around my local lanes route credit to the nw trf group. brilliant route but feels like winter and summer all at once with the rain we've had the trails are soft and slippery but over grown brushes everywhere creating it's own challenge in places as always great to get out on the bike. just fitted new rear wheel bearings and repaired the side stand so just out...

I did this route for the first time today, came from Windsor to ride it! So good to be able to watch it back, thanks for the video. I camped at Llandovery and explored the TET from there, best area I've ever ridden!!
@contisclassics that's awesome and I agree one of the best area's of tet I've ridden also 👌
Amazing ❤❤❤ viva Tuareg 🇮🇹 ..🫶 from 🇨🇭👏🏻
😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🇨🇭
is it accessible in a 4x4
@carlmatischok5420 yea we always see 4x4's on this one 👍
nice trails! too bad, i ended my trip at dolgellau. i have to come back!
@enduromatti Dolgellau is one of the best riding spots in Wales some awesome riding there mate thanks for watching 👍
Is it legal to ride around the south of the reservoir, I'm seeing things online about only using the north side?
@percusski no it's not illegal the information I got from good sources is that it's the bridge that is private property the trail actually goes into the river next to it not sure if you can see on my video just be polite to the farmer if you see him 👍
@@ads_rides ok cool where abouts on "the clock face" so to speak is the bridge in question re the reservoir?
@percusski 13:30 the bridge you can see the track to the left
@@ads_rides great stuff
which route it is mate, thinking of doing some rides in that area?
@WackyTourers this was a made up route on the go but if you follow the Welsh tet in that area it does all the best lanes 👍
@@ads_rides cheers 👍🏻
I tested this bike in 25 degrees and very sunny weather and the engine heat was unbearable (also the cath).
@Xavii1986 the exhaust really helps with the heat it very rarely hits 25deg in the UK so it's never bothered me that much tbh
What no green lanes on the way or the way back! 😁 Hey Ad, must be great to have a bike you can ride happy valley, the motorway etc then the next weekend jump on the motorway down to silverstone 👍
I know I did think about it but was pushed for time on both trips so was just all road like you say great having a bike that will do everything it's mega 👌 thanks for watching I know it's not the usual kind of video on here 👍
Fair pace then those blinking cows right in the middle of the track…🤣👌💪
@jasonperry1444 they wasn't bothered in the slightest 😂 cracking place to chill out that 😂
Phew, that some serious trial stuff on these rocks, got sweaty palms just from watching :D love how Tuareg performs. Good riding mate!!
@vojtamracek937 yea a great route this one very challenging in places 👌 thanks for watching 👍 the bike handles the rough stuff very well 👌
next time gadget, next time -
To do this on bigger bikes! Skillful & balsy !
@gumnaam18 thanks mate 👍 thanks for watching 👍
Bainbridge hill climb next year!
@@NorthWestEnduro be good to get us all up there on the big bike's 👌
It was a good day whilst it lasted! tough on the bikes and the body!!! Nice fix you done there mate. Until next time 😎
@trailswales i was feeling it by the time I got home too definitely a good but tough day in those conditions, fingers crossed for some better weather for the next one 👍
I used to live in Wales for 11 years. I miss it every day. I also regret having the wrong type of motorcycle back then.
@Thisweekin. I moved away from Wales for 6years and regretted it so moved back don't think I will be leaving again 😂 and is there such thing as a wrong motorcycle 🤔 as long as you enjoyed what you had at the time
why didn't you take a spare part if you knew it is a weak point? i always care a seperate bolt with me
@mrbase111 it wouldn't of made any difference as the snapped part of the bot was stuck in the thread that's why drilled out the thread do it's easily changed in the future 👍
Бедный мотоцикл😮
'kin ell ! It's like ssdt.
@@richardanderson3005 that's exactly how it felt going up this in the rain 😂
Now that’s what I call a proper adventure ride! - lesser mortals would’ve given up and turned round, hats off to you for persevering.
@@RichardS-qh8mi cheers mate 👍 yea shame the bike broke would of carried on further if it wasn't for that all good fun tho 👍
@@ads_rides I’m just about to launch down the ADV bike route after 30+ years of various superbikes - don’t need the brutal power anymore just want to enjoy the ride and enjoy a different type of challenge. Thinking of getting a CF Moto 450mt and slowing it down a bit whilst doing some proper adventure rides in places like beautiful Wales.
@RichardS-qh8mi nice mate can't beat getting away from it all on an adventure they look nice them cf moto I've been toying with the idea getting something a bit smaller myself but it's hard as the tuareg is such a cracking bike we will see good luck getting your new bike and getting out there mate can't go wrong with wales either it's stunning 👍
How does the 1290 cope with the hard core riding you guys do? My 1090 adv r just started to find it's pace on the green lanes. Mostly flat stuff in Essex. Keep the videos coming 😊
@aleks_the_Great13 thank you mate 👍 to be honest this was our first day out on trails on the big bike's was only meant to be a steady one but ended up a great little adventure the 1290 goes well off road but it's not the bike for the gnarly stuff we do my mate has since bought a crf300l for the trails and this is his touring bike 👍
In France, those trails would be cleared by riding volunteers. Why are we doing this, keep them open so nimbys or actually, walkers, won’t get them closed.
@mabsbry1318 yea same happens here too but some just get cleared by being riden also as some lanes bet used less than other would be a full time job clearing all the lanes in summer makes it interesting riding them also as they look completely different in the winter to summer 👍
Brilliant. You find good lanes, what is your main info source? Cheers
@@mabsbry1318 cheers mate 👍 and I use trf green road map and os maps to find the lanes 👍
Watching those bushes were giving me anxiety. Where I ride, in SE of India, every single bush is basically thorny bushes. It's like walking into a meat grinder.
@akhiljude8803 hey 👋 that's awesome I bet you got some great places to ride 👍 we are lucky although it looks bad their normally isn't to many brambles it's mainly just the ruts the bushes are hiding that's the problem
@@ads_rides Yeah, we got some fantastic places to ride for sure, being such a huge country with a lot of open spaces the moment you get out of cities. The area that I have around is just thorns and thorns only. My hands have a lot of scars from those thorns piercing through my gloves even....
ruclips.net/video/Jad4Ha64G1M/видео.htmlsi=uJSxqT99kBLTdbAb Moto photo adventures described the broken bolt problem on his channel. Every Tuareg rider should have a spare bolt in the pocket I think when riding offroad 😂
@@TheQQRYQ80 great if the rest of the bolt isn't stuck in the frame 👍 I definitely won't have that problem moving forward
When are we going to have some decent weather 😂 Well I got the coffee and sat down to watch the rest of the video, bloody brilliant, looks like it was a bit of a challenge in places. Must admit I am still tempted to get the Tuareg to sit alongside my Rally for those long distance journeys. cracking video subscribed 👍🏻
@MrSTAdventures I know doesn't look like summer is happening this year does it 😂 cheers mate all down to the weather really that's what I'm blaming it on anyway we've done these lanes easy in the dry but they do get pretty slippy in the wet shame the ride had to end but will be attempting it again in a month or so fingers crossed the weather is a bit kinder to us. I don't think you'd be disappointed with a tuareg at all been a brilliant bike for me very happy with it although I do have a itch for something lighter and smaller 👍
What's tyre on t660?
@@zhumango4728 anlas capra x
They fixed happy valley... 😮 And such a shame that a small bolt spoiled your weekend.
@lowek83 well impressed they managed to fill in that hole on happy valley fair play to them 👏 I know was gutted but just one of those things I suppose hopefully it goes better next time 👍
Great video, cracking day you had there, so clear! Gonna do this with the camp & pub... Thanks for sharing
How come you don't encounter horse riders ?
@richardanderson3005 bit of luck plus alot of the trails we do are to technical for horses I think 🤔 thanks for watching 👍
Bloody hell, that's like green laning through the Amazon forest.
@@SlipperyJack60 proper adventure 🤣 thanks for watching 👍
I thought you were going to park that bike in that cows arse on bombers lane😂
@@kevinmatthias1638 🤣🤣 cow's didn't bat an eye lid
I didn't have the issue with the gear and rear brake lever snapping becasue I swapped them for ones from Polish website bulldozer pl cheapes on the market and I can vouch for the quality as on the ABR Bridgesone loop my rear brake lever bent almost 90 degrees but the bolt didn't snap. Also both sides use same bolt size so can be swapped if needed
@gregs7194 yeah I just wasn't keen on snapping a even stronger bolt in the hole and after snapping the thread in the hole I just wanted to eliminate that ever happen again so just drilled out the threads and use a bolt and nut now so it's like a 2min job next time to change the bolt instead of ride having to end with snapped threads stuck in the hole. It's all about luck though I've dropped it loads of time's and it's been fine I too have bent the brake pedal all the way and bent it back and the original bolt still OK just unlucky in this case I think 👍
@@ads_rides I was on section 6 of TET Poland when somehow ;) I think it had something to do with the speed I've managed to snap the gear lever bolt. There was no Aprilia dealership near by so I went online, found mentioned website and messaged the seller. Some time later he replied and asked which part of Poland am I in and when I told him he said that he lives not that far and he will come over to help me ! An hour and a half later he arrived extracted the other half of the bolt and helped to install new ones. So that's how I ended up with getting them bolts :) I never thought about it the way you did - I mean the part about even stronger bolt and if I undestood correctly possile complications with extracting so thanks for poiting this out to me. When I have a chance I will do the same and drill threads out and use longer bolts with nuts. I should also be able to retain the sleves that came with currently installed bolts for better fit. Keep them videos coming, safe travels and good luck !
@gregs7194 bloody he'll that was a stroke of luck wasn't it what was the chances of that fair play to the guy 👍 yea I'm just hoping what I've done doesn't stop the ride if ever I break another bolt as all bolts can break if they get hit hard enough or for a number of time's. Also because I do the tet in Wales it's put me off going anywhere else to do it because it's a proper challenge to do it through wales so I just assume everywhere is the same 👍 same to you mate safe travels 👍
best riding in Britain is to be found in Wales. Not for whimps though, or 1150GS riders!
@grahamsmith8122 definitely the best riding spot in Britain but I dunno I reckon you could get a 1150gs in most places if you had the commitment for it 👍
Cracking video, as always. The lane you 'encountered' the cows?! where is it please? Cheers
@grumpsrides6074 that's bomber lane over looking Barmouth some brilliant view's on that trail it's also on the act UK route a bit bumpy in places but very accessible 👍
@@ads_rides awesome, thanks for letting me know 🙂👍
FFS Will, do you guys have no summer ?? 😂
We was thinking the same thing 😂 hard to belive this is July finger's crossed we get a late summer as we plan to try again later in the year 👍 thanks for watching Mike
This is a true challenge bro
Cheers mate it wasn't meant to be too challenging but when the weather goes crap it makes everything harder shame the ride had to end early but always next time 👍
Wow that looked challenging 🏴😮
The weather wasn't really on our side otherwise it shouldn't of been anything to technical just the overgrown lanes causing a bit of trouble as you can't see a thing where your riding and it was just full of soggy ruts all good fun until it I realised the bike was broken till next time thanks for watching mate 👍
Some great vids, really timely for me as I’m due to buy again and it’s between a yam world raid and the Tuareg. Your thoughts and viewpoint would be appreciated 👌🏼
@graysonchurch262 thanks for watching 👍 i think im to bias to the tuareg to give my thoughts as i think the tuareg is the better bike for off road and probably on road but if it was me id go for the world rally over the raid for looks and sound the yamaha is the winner there.just ask yourself what your after in a motorcycle the yamaha hasn't got any electrics the tuareg has everything but depends what your after. The tuareg has been a brilliant bike for me doing everything and more that i wanted out of it been reliable for me but like everything it does have its weak spots etc
Always wondered where that track took you thanks for posting
Would be nice to let everyone know where this actually is??
