@@MartynMoore You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed the video 👍👍

@@Phil300zx This is the Go Pro 12. 👍

Good for you, what did you buy? There are a few sections of this that you might struggle on but just take your time and build your confidence as you go. 👍👍

@@701Adventures I bought an old Ktm 250 exc. i know ill drop it so couldn’t bring myself to buy a newer one

@@simonworthing Good thinking. If you drop them it’s rare you cause any damage. 👍

@@gnarlybadger690 No difference at all but if I can get a good price for this one I’ll put it towards a newer one, simple as that really. I had one interested buyer who panicked when I told him it had done 11500 miles, he said that’s way too many miles which is a stupid attitude to take. Some people travel the world on bikes like this because they are so easy to fix if needed. 👍

@@701Adventures I just wondered if there was any difference and I'd missed an update. My 2020 690 has 16,500 trouble free miles on it, mostly TET both here and Europe. I think yours is a cracking buy at the price your asking, good luck with the sale

@@gnarlybadger690 Thank you. 👍

@@greengoblindave Thanks, this is an old video from early last year I dug out of the archives as I’ve been too busy recently to find time to get out on the bike. How’s things with you?

@@701Adventures ah. Okay well good video 👍 Good you been busy. Things with me pretty much the same. Just working. My backs a bit sore at the moment. Misses got me sorting out back room this weekend 😂… got the Harley and had a ride in that one day.. And back in work 😏

You sound as if you’ve been busier than me and I’ve been very busy. 😂 Are you happy with the HD?

@@701Adventures nah only working. Yes I’m happy with the HD. I’m just waiting for a heal shifter to arrive to help with the foot drop. Other than that it looks great sounds great and rides great 👍👍👍 Have you had any luck with your bike mate ?

@@greengoblindave Yes it’s gone. 😢😢

Yes they certainly do, how was the person you assisted? I once came across a horse rider on this stretch of road who had been thrown from her horse after a car passed her too closely and spooked her horse. I just saw some flapping hi viz in the dip to the nearside, below the level of the road. I stopped the car and much to my surprise there was a lady who had been there some time and who couldn't move. No phone signal so managed to get some assistance from a local farmhouse whilst my wife comforted the lady, they suspected they knew who the woman was so rang her boyfriend who then turned up with his father. The ambulance was incredibly quick at getting there considering how isolated the location is, thankfully she made a full recovery. 👍

Once got butted by a sheep whilst in Isle of Man. Slowed down to slowly pass sheep and a lamb, and one little bugger was hiding behind a bush and pounced when I was in striking distance..

@@Bitwobbley They’re sneaky buggers when they want to be. 😂😂

@@ConciergeMed Hi, no I didn’t have any towing issues, there are pro’s & cons to each option. The van obviously offers more security and discretion for the bike when parked up at Services etc but obviously the trailer is a much cheaper alternative. But no I never had any issues while towing the bike at all and the Motolug trailer served me while I owned it. 👍

I’ve done it a few times, it’s worth the effort travelling there and then once you’re there spend a couple of hours there riding it in each direction. 👍

Did you ride it both ways just for the experience or just go in one direction? Either way it’s a great route. 👍

@@701Adventures Yes i did it both ways a few times as i was playing around recording at the time for my channel it was great fun and on a week day so very few cars

@@PureEvolution I’ve just noticed on your channel you’ve done a video of it, I’ll watch it on the TV later today. 👍

@@701Adventures Thank you

Thank you very much, one of the best bikes I’ve ever owned 👍

@@greengoblindave Thank you, I’ll see what happens over the next week or two, see if there’s any interest in it. 👍

I agree with you, you can either drive or you can’t. It’s a fact that some folk should never have been granted a driving licence. 👍

@@cgln8760 The footage was fine because of the image stabilisation, however I was only temporarily trying out that camera position but I’ve since moved it to the front fender to give a more dramatic, wider view.

@@Achilles22 What’s your problem, if you don’t like the video don’t fekn watch it.

@@701Adventures don’t worry I won’t, I’ll fall asleep 😴😴

@@Achilles22 You won’t watch it? You already have. 😂

They are surprised that 4X4 doesn't help going downhill. ABS isn't a great help either.

@@markchallenger8512 How deep would you estimate the water was, it looked quite deep, even near where I dipped my toes in. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 👍

@@701Adventures my front wheel was totally under water so it got to be getting on a couple of feet deep. There’s big rocks in there too and rode straight into one and I just managed to catch before it went over. Two wet feet but the bike was saved😀

@@markchallenger8512 Ha, you’re a braver man than me, I’ll wait for the water level to drop, if it ever does. 😂😂

@@knuckles-3386 I absolutely agree with you. To be honest I was a bit disappointed in some respects in the presentations. It would be great if Itchy Boots did visit again, fingers crossed for 2025. 👍👍

How are you importing the GPX file into the Zumo XT and are you importing them as a route or a track?

@@701Adventures thanks for your reply On the TET website I’m downloading the GPX files as a track

@@stephenclarke9419 I’ve been thinking about this today and I believe that when I imported the TET GPX files onto my Zumo XT I did it via Basecamp. Have you tried that? If not save the GPX file on your desktop or similar, open up Basecamp and then import the file into Basecamp. Then after connecting your XT to the computer export the GPX file to it, either as a track or route, depending on your preference and that should be it. On an Android device, (such as my Samsung Galaxy Tablet) with OS Maps or OSMAnd installed it’s a much simpler process, you can simply open the GPX file directly from the Tablet into whichever mapping software you prefer. I hope that helps a bit but if not have a look at some Facebook groups and they may be able to explain it better than I have attempted. Good luck. 👍

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I created a mess, I made a daft mistake removing one too many links but since I fixed that mistake everything seems to be working just fine now. 👍

@@damianward2395 I’m using a Zumo XT which is mounted on the handlebars 👍

And you were correct. 😂

Pete if I’m honest I still don’t think I would get up it on the 701 but the 350 just flies up without any problems. It’s a confidence thing, the 701 is more than capable of doing this hill it’s just that I feel more confident doing it on a lighter bike like the 350. And trust me when I say the 350 is not lacking in power. 👍👍

That’s my problem, I’m too damn honest. 😂😂

Ideally get a 701 2018 onwards as the engine was improved from that point. However from 2022 onwards (I think it was) the 701 had an interchangeable map switch for normal riding mode and enduro mode. Just be careful buying used in case the bike has been abused and then dressed up to sell by putting new plastics on it to make it look tidy. Look at the condition of the wheels for dints and scratches, check the underside of the engine if accessible for any signs of damage from off-road activity. If you can buy new, do so. Husqvarna often have interest free options on their bikes so keep your eyes peeled for these offers. 👍

Very much appreciate the advise mate. Is a 2024 husky 701 really worth around £10k though?

@@leehughes9705 It most certainly is. I kid you not, the bike can do everything you ask of it. I have used mine for commuting, weekend leisure rides with mates, I’ve toured on it and of course I’ve done some off-road stuff on it. I sold my GSA 1250 and bought this bike in 2022 and have absolutely zero regrets. Obviously it’s not as refined as the GSA but if you can put up with a smaller tank etc then it’s a good way to still enjoy riding but at a lesser price. 👍

You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but did you experience any PTSD symptoms from incidents you dealt with? Certainly in the Police it’s not something which is openly discussed and I’ve even witnessed one Officer being mocked after he was diagnosed with PTSD and accused of being a liar.

@@701Adventures from 1984 I started noticing signs of PTSD and went to my own GP who told me to stop wasting his time and if I really wanted to experiance stress start a family ... great advice Eh? .. the service told you confide in your crewmate and talk with them, a cop out from management but back in those days there was little help back then and I certianly didn't want to go back to a GP (I'd changed doctors soon after the first Gem of advice). wasn't till I'd retired and was getting help for depression that PTSD was discussed .. yes I have ghosts as I like to refur to it and can recall RTA's and such if I travel down any roads back on my home patch which fortunatly is 90 miles away from where I now live.

@@Grint-XR Thanks for sharing that experience, I hope your mental health is, well healthy now and any demons have been dealt with. Thank you very much for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment. 👍

@@701Adventures demons come and go these days but social anxiety and depression still an issue ... afraid that's the nature of the beast of our simular career choice ... take care

Feel free to elaborate 👍

@@701Adventures I was suggesting some self reflection. Not sure why you expect me to do that for you🤔

@@ned3361 Perhaps the Triumph dealership should consider doing the same and ponder the question, would it really have hurt us to help this guy out and just do this simple five minute job. 👍

@@ninjaarcades7356 Yes if you’ve never done it you should give it a go. 👍

My local FORD dealership has a big sign outside saying FORD but I’ve still managed to successfully have my Vauxhall serviced there for more years than I care to remember. 👍

It’s quite restricting though isn’t it, only choosing to work on one specific brand, it could even be argued that it’s harmful to the success of the business being so tunnel visioned. 👍

You didn’t watch the entire video did you, I wasn’t asking them to work on my Husqvarna, I was asking them to assist in the joining of two ends of a chain together. 👍

@@kevin30b90 Many valid and pertinent points there. To reiterate from my perspective, this video was never intended to generate hate towards this specific dealership regardless of how disappointed I was with their approach and attitude to my predicament. This video was intended to seek others opinions on how common this situation was with other dealers. My personal experiences previously have always been positive with various dealers where they have been very helpful so this experience was alien to me. Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment 👍👍

@@stew8490 If you look through these comments I have provided a detailed step by step set of instructions for how to reach the beginning of the trail in Slaidburn. If you struggle to find the instructions come back to me and I’ll copy and paste them here but I can’t currently do that from my phone. 👍

@@roadwarrior8560 I suspect that I will have been using Michelin Pilot Road (whichever version was out at that time). The trail is achievable on normal road tyres with care.

@@701Adventures Yes I ride gravel trails on Road 6 no problem but the bike skips about on gravel a bit. I was considering changing to Anakee Adventure, not sure they'd be much better on gravel and likely worse on tarmac. People complain they are noisy too.

@@roadwarrior8560 Have a look at what the guys are using at the BMW offroad centre in Wales for example. It’s a compromise, if you get big knobbly tyres obviously they’ll give you better grip on gravel but they will be noisy and vibey on tarmac. I use Michelin Trackers on my 701, they are a 90/10 offroad tyre. Quite noisy on tarmac but the grip doesn’t seem compromised even in the wet. 👍

@@edgybikercop In what respect?

There are quite a few Triumph models I like, but one thing I can guarantee is I won’t be buying anything from them. 👍

@@aidens04 What’s a general motorbike garage, I’ve never heard of such a thing. I didn’t plaster this all over social media, it’s only on RUclips, if it was all over social media it would be on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and whatever else there is. Do you exaggerate often or is today the first attempt which is why you’ve got it so very wrong? Remember the golden rule with social media, you can always make that decision not to interact. Thanks for watching anyway and leaving me a comment 👍👍

@@701Adventures Geoff Westerbys off Canal Rd Bradford W⚓

@@701Adventures Given that you, in the description of the video, are asking for "a wider opinion from those watching", you don't get to get snarky when people don't give you the opinion you want. Well, you do, obviously, your channel and all that, but it only makes you look even more of an entitled idiot than the video itself did.

@@oldeconey It was deeper than it looked! 😂

There can be delays here in getting your bike serviced etc during peak times but for a quick five minute job I’d like to think any dealer would accommodate you at short notice. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 👍

Exactly my point, it’s not like it would challenge a competent mechanic 👍

I think it was you know. 😂😂
