Ti sto guardando nelle tue avventure fuori strada..belle le proverò anche io in primavera con anche io con la mia Huscuarna norden. Sarebbe bello anche che facessi dei commenti come ti trovi mentre affronti certi percorsi. Comunque bravo ugualmente. Ciao 👌
Quando programmerai le prossime uscite, fammi sapere che ti mando i tracciati GPX per il navigatore/cellulare da seguire per i percorsi che ti sono piaciuti. A presto!
Hi, for next season i will also buy a Husqvarna Norden and after i watched your videos, i have to visit Italy again. Do you have any suggestions, how i can find more legal gravel -tracks in Italy? Greetings from Austria 👍
Hi, I'm very happy with the Norden, I wholeheartedly recommend it! The new bike is allowing me to push the boundaries of my exploration of local dirt tracks way further. To answer your question, my method is to search for dirt roads on the map (I use the awesome app Mapy.cz) and try them out. When private or restricted, they're clearly marked as such, and you just turn around. Of course this is annoying but easy to do, because I leave here and I can just try something else if plan A didn't work. I assume instead you meant to ask if I knew of a way to know before end, if the routes planned would actually be all traversable once on location; if that's the case I'm afraid I can't help you. However I will say that, to my experience, if target single-tracks, more often than not they're restricted to hiking to preserve nature and the peaceful experience, but if it's a double truck, I've found they're usually meant either as service roads and/or for local farmers and hunters on 4X4, and are free to use, as long as your bike is up to the task. If plan to visit Tuscany or you find yourself in the area, please feel free to reach out, I'd be happy to help, if I can, with GPX files of routes that I've tested myself, and even join you if you needed company. Cheers!
@@alistairbox Hi, thank's for your answer. Do i understand it right, if there is no driving ban marked and the track is wide enough for cars, it is legal to ride these tracks? After a test ride with the Norden, I can't wait to get one. My next bike-vacation is planed for june. It would be great meeting you for a ride. Best regards Michael
@@michaelk.8520 That's right, unless the access to a road it' clearly marked as either private or altogether restricted , than it's fair game. Mostly you wanna pay attention to private property signs, because those can take all shapes and forms, and some times they're not easy to spot while riding (should you mistakenly go up someone driveway however, fear not, apart from the occasional over-zealous dog, you'll be met with a smile and directions out of the property and towards your destination). The Norden is amazing. Incredibly comfortable: I ordered the additional comfort seat but I quickly returned it in favor of other accessories because the stock seat is so comfortable already, both on and off road, both for me and my wife, even during all-day rides (each butt is different but these are my two cents). Riding position is great, even better now that I had the bar risers installed (I added them for better control when standing, but they also make the sitting riding position more comfortable, for my 1.78 m of height at least). One minor negative comment on overall ergonomics: you're very well shielded from engine heat, except on your feet, especially the right one, where you definitely feel it. A blessing in winter, might annoy someone in summer. It doesn't bother me, but I though I'd mention it. Plenty powerful enough, on and off road; so much fun. The electronics are just great; in pure KTM/Husqvarna stile, they're literally ready to race, effective, but clearly designed to increase your performance by allowing you to put down as much as the condition and your skills allow and not, like other manufacturers, to simply rein in the available power. Also very intuitive and easy to use (even clearer on the Norden than on the 890 adventure). If you plan to go off road, do get the Explorer package: where in other brands is just a gimmicky way to tweak everything to the most minute detail, like if you really knew what you were doing, here it allows to have easy access to the few things that really matter! I'd be happy to join you for a section of your journey and show you around my little corner of Tuscany. There's one route for example, 210 Km of mostly unpaved roads mixed with fun twisties on tarmac called 'L'Eroica' (I have a video here on the channel of my first time there, bit boring perhaps but it gives a pretty clear picture of the loop) and it's a beautiful ride through the Tuscany hills and medieval villages such as Siena and Montalcino. If you sleep on location, then it can easily be tackled the next day with an early rise. Food for thoughts.
