I grew up riding off-road and racing flat track in the 80s. Then from 18 on 90s through 2014 just sportbikes. Picked up a 14 Husaberg FE501 in early 15. I forgot how much I like riding PNW single track. I'll probably get another sportbikes at some point, but for now I'm loving this 501. I do see a set of sumo wheels in my future though.
I have the same bike ... and I love it ... but the stock tires leave something to be desired off road..... on road... they are surprisingly nice for “knobies”
Dear o dear Mister Chops.!!! Mine it's a 17 MY and Grinch she is on an MY 18. Flipping good vid mate. Now I can not sleep tonight, have to put a loop together for Sunday.
Dan, make sure this loop involves a few near death experiences to make Chops feel young again...or curl up in the foetal position in the nearest bush. We was way too easy on him last time 😂
tritriplekylie i can not swear on Chopses channel but tbh it's your F....NG fault. U did beg me to take him on easy lanes, u know feed him with drips and all that shit u told me....
tritriplekylie it's a risky move there Kylie. If you force feed him he might enjoy lane riding and he will end up buying a dirt bike...and then we are buggered. We will be stuck with him forever.
Ha Ha mate I LOVED that! I know exactly where you're coming from with off roading, I haven't got a clue about it and feel like a total fish out of water if I ever find myself having to do it. But it does always look great fun! Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the 1290 👍
+teapotone thanks matey, it's good fun scary at the time but looking back really enjoyed it. Think I would get an enduro next time over a supermoto as they are just as much fun on the road 😎😎
Wow these "trails" look like a freeway compared to what I ride on. If you take that 500 into the Eastern us woods you will be wishing you had a lighter bike lol
I've always been a road rider but at the moment I'm bored. I'm just about to go and buy the EXC 500 just for shits and giggles. Was it as final and powerful as it looked?
Lamb Chop Rides I also spotted that, very silky. I came in on a courtesy Super Adventure S, a very nice thing Cresent have leant me whilst they fix my Superduke. I wouldn’t mind a blat on on this enduro though.
Lamb Chop Rides nothing serious, front brake switch swap as it’s temperamental after a wash and a tiny oil weep that needs a new gasket as it probably got nicked during production. In a year it’s put around 10 drips on my garage floor.
Thanks matey, yeah cant wait to try the 300 injection very interested in that one.. No more premix and super fuel economy! Sounds too good to be true!!
Sure no worries, 1080P 60 superview but the secret is some added saturation in post production using Vegas. Also I render in 2.4K hence why the quality is higher on RUclips with less compression. Makes a big difference
Do you use a vegas preset for rendering or have go got your own ? Sorry for the questions but you and Motonosity probably have the best looking footage !
Chop- check out the Aussie Cross training Enduro channel. Great riders, some Pro give some great tutorials that any rider can use/experiment with. Great quality video from a great host. It may save a bone or 2.
They really don’t like you do they Chops? Every time they stop and turn around waiting for you to fall off on camera? Who the hell was that construction worker on the Ktm? Bit of a fluorescent fetish going on mmm?🤔👍🏻😎
Yeah your right.. & I thought they were just concerned for my safety.. Yeah Kylie loves her matching Husky colours and Dan likes to dress like a bin man haha
Id rather be off roading than riding on wet tarmac with them chunky tires, off roading aint for me I really want to have a go on an injected 2 stroke, That puddle hahahahahahah
Yeah took me awhile to get used to the tyres on the road but actually they are really good and a surprising amount of grip! Trouble is with the power of the 500 they get torn up quickly when giving it the beans on the road.

Nice ride! It's fun seeing some dirt action from you,keep on riding the monster!!!
He's being modest... In the 80's he was lead singer for Try And Be Brave

Damn, I gotta get me some of that! Great video man. KTM will love you for handing it back covered in shite haha
+London Street Rider might have to run a hose over it before it goes back 😂
I really want to try one of those 500's, look like so much fun!
Very good fun, Im not giving it back, Im keeping it.. KTM dont know yet though haha
Great upload reminds me of my youth dt175mx green lanes across farmers fields and everywhere!!
Oh man what a bike !! I have an 04 450 exc ol thumper on the works I wanna get street legal! I wish I had a new ktm, good video
Now look at all that mud I misses.... Devastated 🤣
+spicy110 haha next time matey!! You still got the 125?
Damn carly sounds like a badass lol that is a LOT of bike for anyone male or female. great video
Good to see you back out on the lanes, makes me want to have another go with the Scrambler, but I really shouldn't.
Cheers Phil, its good fun has to be said, well afterwards when you look back, at the time just to scared haha
Such a good channel deserves way more subs
love it !!! i recognise most of those lanes
+matt 916 some good ones around here 👍👍

+Nukeproof Dan haha cheers Dan

WE NEED MORE ENDURO :D THis looks like a lot of fun once you get over the scary aspect ;p
+Gromzie ok glad to hear will be more to follow 😀😀
Wow these "trails" look like a freeway compared to what I ride on. If you take that 500 into the Eastern us woods you will be wishing you had a lighter bike lol
My thoughts exactly. So many knarley hill climbs ditches tight tree sections
Try a few track n trail events I think it would suit you
Enduro there looks fun I just have hills, dry rocky hills
+DabbinStanza 710 yes some interesting terrain for sure! Providing you like mud 😂😂
looks like great fun!
Got my key fob and sticker which was a nice surprise cheers chops
Your welcome Andy, thanks for the support buddy :-)
Cool video. Thanks. Scott in Costa Rica.
All good green laning days start with a cuppa at loomies
sooo good. more more more please...
+babur.karaoglu ok will see what I can do 😂😂
Was that kid dabbing at 7:09? Hahaha
Well done Chops lookin good
I've always been a road rider but at the moment I'm bored. I'm just about to go and buy the EXC 500 just for shits and giggles. Was it as final and powerful as it looked?
Lovely looking bike :p nice to see you out yesterday albeit briefly haha :D you were totally behaving too when you left loomies up the hill ;)
+MotorMarvin haha hello Marvin, yeah I may have left rather exuberantly 😂😂
it was an excellent display sir ;) :D haha
Lamb Chop Rides I also spotted that, very silky. I came in on a courtesy Super Adventure S, a very nice thing Cresent have leant me whilst they fix my Superduke. I wouldn’t mind a blat on on this enduro though.
+Dean Smith what's up with the Super Duke Dean?

Great video, where do you guys ride
I’ll happily sick to the road 😂😂😂
Another ace video dude :) would be great to see what you make of the 2 stroke injection!
Thanks matey, yeah cant wait to try the 300 injection very interested in that one.. No more premix and super fuel economy! Sounds too good to be true!!
That looks epic fun
I really enjoyed watching this. I subscribed :)
Thanks Franky :-)
So where was Kylie? ...I couldn't quite see her ;)
+Bimble yeah she was rather hard to spot... think the whole florescent husky thing has gotten out of hand with her 😂😂
....sees some mud. :)
Are you a beginner rider ?
Sorry mate I know I asked you before but what are your GoPro settings ? Looks awesome
Sure no worries, 1080P 60 superview but the secret is some added saturation in post production using Vegas. Also I render in 2.4K hence why the quality is higher on RUclips with less compression. Makes a big difference
Do you use the waterproof housing ?
+ElectricRides yes but with a hole for the mic adapter of course 👍
Do you use a vegas preset for rendering or have go got your own ? Sorry for the questions but you and Motonosity probably have the best looking footage !

Ok cheers will take a lookski
Top speed?
about 100-105 mph
but that's not something you'll want to be doing for any length of time particularly with knobbies
The urge to drop that 500 back off at the dealers as is..
+Jay B haha, well she's all gleaming now like a new bike again 😎 honest...
Oh balls. lmao
