It's easy to get riled up about a situation. The stress increases, heartrate increases, frustration multiplies.
Better take a 15 minute breather, take off your jacket, sit down, walk around, take deep breaths.
Take it easy man! No rush...
Excelente and so true! No point getting all worked up. 👍
REST and ASSESS
You are an EXCELLENT rider man.
If I drop my 890, I honestly walk away unless something weird is going on - gas pouring out on a hot engine, etc. No way am I getting amped up and wasting a bunch of energy and risking injury moving 500lbs - REST and ASSESS. I am old, but still quite strong and unfortnately my strength far outshines my sturdiness. And injuries are REALLY bad now and take forever to heal. The number of times I have fallen and "thought" I broke my hip are too many. LOL.....@@RichyVida
That was edge-of-my-seat action! Impressive how you got the Big Lad out of that spot!! 👏 I like how you pointed out the happy faces and welcoming people you've met along the way. What a fantastic series this has been...thanks for taking us along. Now, on to the next episode.
'Course this is why you should not ride alone. Yeah, right. Back in the '80s I got into trail riding and European touring by buying a BMW R80 GS. It's a trail bike and a long distance tourer? So I bounced it off the moors and trails of Derbyshire (Belper lad, me) and bombed off down to the Bol D'or. There is no better feeling than stuck on a trail..on your own..up on the moors..in February and then getting unstuck by your own effort and getting home. Good on you Richy. Inspiring stuff.
Exactly!
Another brilliant episode, the relief when you got out of trouble, had me on the edge of my seat 💪
Another class episode Richy, that was one hell of a B- Road mate the main think is you stayed cool , no panicking...well done Rich 💪🦾its going too be sad too see the end of this tour...
Regards Glenn👍
This series has got me following you. 66 tomorrow and me and SWMBO are setting off for Morocco either the first week in May or September, hopefully the former as you never know what's round the corner at our age. With the boss on the back though I will be avoiding off road where possible and my old knees can't take it so well now anyway. Thanks for excellent videos, honesty and the stills.
Thank you, Ian
Fantastic roads.. you'll not notice the potholes back home. Cheers to your tours Richy.
It’s been an amazing series to watch so far. Bit embarrassing to say I am doing a 3 day wales trip in a couple of weeks! Look forward to the next update. Amazing and inspiring. 👍😮
Well I was rocking on the sofa trying to help you get out of there. That looked really hard for you Richy. Nice to relax again. Looking forward to your next episode.
Haha 'Gotcha ya bastard'! Love it Rich!
Context! 👍👍
Well done for getting out of that situation Richy; it's far more worthwhile and satisfying doing something that is hard, we can all do easy things. Cheers, Andy.
Morning Richy, anither great video and well done.
Some thoughts for your consideration.
Stuck Bike
A large flat stone or two just in front of the rear wheel might have provided it a step to change the approach angle and free up the bash plate and allow the bike to climb.
Bash Plate and Accessory Bars
Honda describe the engine bars as accessory mounting bars rather than engine protector bars. This may be because of the relatively lightweight material and the fixings. I have Touratech lower and upper bars and have had to rely on them several times. Changing the "accessory bars" for something that provides protection I'd highly recommend.
Oh and don't ask me how I know that!!!!
Bash Plate
The OEM Bash plate is very thin material and IMHO won't give the protection rocks like that need. Loads to choose from. I've been pleased with the Touratech Adventurer guard and its pretty knocked about now in my 2018 AT.
Tyre Inflation
I used "Rocky Creek" for several years but have recently changed to a "MotoFlator" designed by a British Engineer and he and his wife turn up at many of the shows to sell them. Small, light and enables you to drop pressures for a climb like that and then reset them. I used mine several times last year for mine and other bikes. Highly recommended for being on tour.
StopNGo Plugs
The very best kit I have come across for tubeless tyres (think your new AT is running tubeless?) Again I've used the plugs several times now for a variety of uses including getting a Swiss Touring Couple on a GS going again when stranded here in Wales. Highly recommended.
Water
I'd recommend a hydra pack for riding in temperatures like that. Either in a small backpack (Kriega do a beauty) or the bladder in the tank bag or you can fill the bladder with iced water when available and tuck it inside your mesh jacket for cooling.
Dehydration is a real problem for all but particularly motorcyclists, one of our group had an accident and an off on an Alpine Hairpin last summer in 38 degrees through dehydration. Allows little and often easily.
Oh and it doesn't fall off the back of the bike. 😂😂😂
Boots
Finally, mentioned this before in your vids as I now have a permanent disability after an accident off tarmac when wearing inadequate foot protection, I know its hot but your boots, whilst armoured are not going to provide you protection in a variety of accidents, especially whilst alone.
Love your videos, love your entertaining style. I'm doing Picos this summer using some of your recommendations and this trip is urging me on as well.
Thank you.
Ride safe and continue to have fun whilst providing such rich life enhancing entertainment.
If you're ever passing Shropshire near Oswestry, kettle always on and there's a bed if you need it.
Cheers
Stuart
Thank you, Sir!
Bloody hell Richy had us all worried there mate !
Brilliant. Your hardest day so far. Amazing scenery. Thank you for sharing your experiences. 🏍👍🏻
You were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Well done Richy. It does show that we should stay physically fit as well. Great trip up to now thoroughly enjoyed watching.
From a manic start to a serene finish, a fabulous episode Rich. It does have that winding down feeling, but more to come!! Thank you👍
Amazing. I was looking forward to this episode all day and it didn’t disappoint. ❤
I have been a long time subscriber but this series has been way out there my favourite so far.I am amazed at how such a rocky sandy mountainous landscape can draw you in by watching on a screen.This series should be shown on tv it would be a sure fire hit
Thanks very much, Andrew 👍
Loved this series. Still amazed at the first day! Took 3 days for me to get to south of Spain and was still knackered.
An incredible series Rich. The stuff dreams are made of mate. Seriously well done on all levels. 🙏🏍️🎥
I don’t want this series to end 😢! For me personally it’s the best one yet! Love it 👏🏻
What a great watch! all that was missing from that first bit was the theme tune to `Kick Start` ! inspiring stuff Richy
great effort rich. all your years of riding and skill paying off there pal.
Started watching your vids based on a rec from The Missenden Flyer, but this series really got me hooked. You’ve got great, relaxed delivery and the scenery has been fascinating. Would love to hear a rundown of your riding gear, because it looks like it’s served you well. - a subscriber from the States
Another cracking video richy glad you got the bike and yourself of that track, looked a bit sketchy at first but a bit of perseverance did the job keep safe.
Loving the series...... great stuff man. :)
Nicely done richy, you'll not forget that experience.
Sad to see it coming to an end as they have been Fantastic Episodes....OMG your were lucky to get the bike out between them Rock's,,,,Close Call
Class! What a challenge that looked and what an adventure. Certainly different from your early tours through Europe
Fantastic as always ❤
I started with your USA tour , then watched the back catalogue...been watching everything ever since. GOLD.
Thank you 🙏
another smashing video! you should be really proud of yourself for undertaking such an amazing trip & for producing an absolutely beautiful video series, congratulations!
Thanks a ton! 🙌
Me and the missus were willing you on when battling with the stuck Keith matey, what a great adventure, thanks for sharing, really enjoying 😎👍
I've just started watching you after I told a friend I'm flying out to Morocco at Christmas and hiring a bike and he told me about your trip. I'm loving the series, great videos and Morocco looks amazing. I can't wait to go now!
Thanks Gary. You will love it!
Think this is my favourite series of yours I've seen Rich - really enjoyed it - thanks for taking the time to put it all together (I know how long it takes!). Love those transitions between the pics at the end too.....nice work mate!
Thanks Andy 👍
I have followed this series from the start and subscribed.
I already follow your buddies, the Missenden flyer, chopsy, and teapot one.
Now that looked amazing, but bloody hard going for you on the slippery boulder/rock section, well done Richy lad 🏍👍👌
Our first tour with you (from the sofa) , loved it ! ON the edge of our seats watching you get out of that jam , well done .
Awesome! Thank you for being here! Few more to come, yet 👍
Wow great effort with that first part of the road mate love these vids 🙏👍💪
A long time subscriber and this tour like all the previous tours has been amazing!
Glad you like them! Thank you for being here
Yes Richy, I started and subscribed with this tour - watched your Picos as well now, enjoyed both thank you. You must have been absolutely creamed after getting out of that snag!
Welcome, mate. Thank you.
Following you for quite some time,doing a great job.
Thanks and keep posting❤
Thank you, I will
Been waiting for this one 😁👍🏻
Well done, Richy, that looked tough.
Well done Richy, !
Keith was looking well stuck on those rocks. It looked a bit like the sump guard was balancing on the tall rock suspending the back wheel off the ground. Great footage though and keeping me glued to the screen. Well done Ricky you defiantly did a Houdini getting free from that one. 😂👍
I was sweating with you on those rocks!! 😅 So easy to suddenly find yourself in a very dodgy situation, well done in extracting yourself 👍
Well done Rich
Cracking vids
You did well there fella,never i doubt tho,top scenery and editing too ;-)
Ride Safe Mr B \m/
New to the channel for Morocco Richie but have now watched most of the back catalogue, fantastic content!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Big boy pants needed in that situation. Well done Mr Vida. Great series to boot.
8 lives left Rich . Balls of steel . Great videos . Keep em coming . Better than any terrestrial TV. 5 star. 🏍
Thank you 🙏
Bloody brilliant series Rich , really stunning and what nice people the Moroccans are.
Hi Richy, ive seen a couple of yours before but have followed this whole trip with envy, absolutely fantastic - thank you Michael (subscribed)
Thank you 🙏
Watching early. loving em. Thanks fella. 👍
I can imagine how scared you must have been at the thought of being stuck there over night. Well done for getting out and well done on another amazing video.
Another stonking Episode Rich 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great to see you get yourself out of that Boulder field 😂 mega work pal , Definitely my kind of Adventure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😘
Another awesome video from Morocco, I have to take my " hat" off to you for the effort you put in to getting "Keith" off the rock and back on to the track (couldn't really call it a road) I've ridden across the deserts of the Middle East myself and the Rocky sections are always tough to navigate and even worse to get stuck in, so you definitely did well to get the bike out without dropping it. Looking forward to seeing the next episode of your Moroccan tour.
Thanks Ian 👍
A lucky man in both ways 😎💪 another cracking vlog ✊
Trust me, it looked like a brutal climb. Glad to see you made it 👍
Hi Richy, you have showed keeping cool, level headed and thinking about it,you can get yourself out the brown stuff. Well done 👍
how much I understand you.
it's so difficult and tiring to get out of trouble with this bike on your own.
in certain situations it can become a big problem.
Focus, strength and determination. All you need 👍
F'kn awesome mate... Makes my local Aussie roads look tame in comparison.
Spielburg the tension the drama.. 😂 love it.
Yet again,another great episode and perfect editing well done.👍Manxman 🇮🇲
Top man, thanks!
Another great episode buddy 👏 🚜🚜✌
Nothing like getting yourself out of your comfort zone to no your alive. Mega effort that bud. 🙌💪🏼🤛
That was awesome man. Is it morroco make you addict? Isn't it? Awesome landscape over there 💯
Mate you’ve got me on the edge of my seat 😂
That was seriously worrying. Well done mate. And we are new to channel, watching as only came across it last week as we are going to morocco next week but renting a bike. Agadir, kenitra, chefchaouen, fez, gorge de dades, merouga, ouarzazate, and possibly somewhere else on way back. Riding the 5th most dangerous road in the world by all accounts😊
What software programme do you use pls
i am a long term subscriber the morocco trip was amazing 10 out of 10 for getting out of that tight spot
Absolute brute bud that was an epic glad your safe tho as you say it could have been much worse loving the series and channel
Thanks for taking us along on this one Richy! ⭐
You bet 👍
This just strengthens my argument that these bloody bikes are stupid. Especially when travelling alone.
When you have a very experienced rider, getting stuck in dry, reasonably grippy conditions? On a "fully specced adventure bike"? You have to ask yourself, have I chosen the right tool for the job.
Understanding we are all free in the country to have our own opinion and views and I adore living here for that.
To post the alternative, I've done 25,000 miles on my 2017 AT and have done many of them off tarmac. I've ridden lanes successfully led by an experienced chap on a Honda XL125.
I have the DCT.
Last year I rode 1000 miles in one go from Austria home.
Each to their own. I'm fortunate to have a choice of bikes to ride.
To go touring now I would have an easy choice.
The AT is my go to bike, I adore it and, unlike my sports bikes, I don't have to visit the Osteopath afterwards.
I think it's one of the single greatest motorcycle developments in the last 100 years.
Tackling stuff like that alone with that kit is a personal choice, I wouldn't do it but I respect Richy's freedom to.
Happy Monday everybody.
Cheers
Stuart
@@stuartmetcalfe547 the fact that you said you were being led by an XL125? Kinda reinforces my point. These are ego bikes, just like 1000cc sports bikes, 2000cc cruisers and hyper sports tourers before them.
I'm not immune to this rush for the biggest, best, fastest, blah blah blah. I've had an R1, Blackbird and several GSes among many other bikes. But I'm over it. I think many people would have a lot more fun if they were honest with themselves.
Tne bikes aren't stupid, but sometimes the use they are put to is shall we say " sub optimal". I've owned somewhere between 55 and 60 bikes and the AT sits at number 1. I've done single track on it, not because i thought it was the right bike for the job, but because it's the bike I had. It's a sublimely comfortable road bike. I won't off road it anymore, my body is failing me, but the bikes I use to replace it seriously under perform in comparison when you're blasting up an alpine pass. Everything's a compromise .
Great comment, but yeah, I also adore this bike. Yes, I felt the weight on this trail, but to (safely) succeed with this over a lightweight off-roader is much more of an accomplishment. As I said; if I could’ve magically transformed it into a CRF300 I would’ve - does second. Then I’d want the AT back. Best bike, by far, for crunching some serious miles and serious terrain. 💪 👍
@@RichyVida I don't mean to sound like I'm having a dig at you Richy. I was just thinking that when such an experienced rider looks like he's clearly struggling? (And I know you need a bit of drama for the clicks, But even on the latest video there is a lot of slow paddling, ooffing and grunting, not much chat to the camera and a sense that it was not "fun"). I think it sucks a load of riders into buying bikes that do not suit their needs.
Like I said, I've had loads of bikes, among which were "Adventure style" 1, 1100gs, 2, 1150 GSes, 1, 1200 GS, 650 Vstrom, Honda Dominator and Val Doonican, and a Himalayan. None of which seen the dirt, partly because of a lack of altitude, 5'6", and mostly a lack of talent.
I suppose it ultimately comes down to what works best for you at any given time, or trip. Just be aware of your limitations and realistic of the risks.
Keep 'er between the hedges🏍️🤘
Good job getting Kieth up there, well done!
Great vlog Richy. I take it that bit of the route where keef got stuck won't be on a wildbad tour 😮 I liked the comment...you see some right sites in these villages. I thought a bit like on a night out in Leicester 😂 then you corrected yourself 😊 🤙
Hahahaha 😂🫣
Well done fella. Positive mind will take you anywhere you want to go..
True story! 💪
And breath 😅
Good shot of adrenaline right there Richy. If I get into tricky situations I tell myself (i will laugh about it tomorrow )seems to work😂
Brilliant video….again 👍👏👏👏
wow rich. and it did look bloody hard work😂😂
I was definitely a bit nervous for you Richy that the Africa Twin was properly stuck. You were blowing trying to free it up!!. Well done mate and not one swear word (on camera at least 😜😜)
No Keith (sorry Richy),, more like well done Richy😮 how you managed to keep it up without dropping it, is beyond me. I've dropped mine on slight slope, let alone up hill with smooth rocks and uneven ground beneath your feet, with a bike that is so heavy. Once again take my hat off to you sir. Enjoying the series very much so keep it coming ❤❤❤
"Might not have looked like hard work on camera" I can tell you it did 😂 I'd still be sat there crying 😂
Haha phew!
Jeez. Glad you made it out ok!
Hi. New to your channel. Really enjoying the series.
Welcome aboard!
Fair play to you Ricky -fair play 👍✊
Just viewing because of this series, I am solo riding on my Ténéré WR in The south of Morocco right now👍
I'm impressed that the DCT can take this sort of abuse! Yeah you're a bit of a fool for getting in that predicament, in my younger days I've done likewise. Great adventure!
I´m a new viewer because of Marrocos, but ill go back to watch the prior postings. Great content (I took a look). On another note, Marrocos is amazing and I've been there so many time, almost every year since 2015, in many different bikes and still eager to go every year!
Excellent! Thanks
Well done on that, deep fried Vida almost on the menu 👍🏻
Fooooking Hell, Well done you and Keith amazing
Hi .. you asked how long I have been following your channel on RUclips… I have been watching your videos since you were having your USA tour for some years ago… I like your videos!! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Tusen takk!
Strained a muscle in my left leg on a byway here in the Uk .
I was remote and I couldn’t pick the bike up and that was on a CRF250l which is 175 pounds lighter than an Africa Twin , I managed it in the end and then had to get off the byway and then back home with strained tendons and a torn muscle .
See the adverts , you should be pulling wheelies up that track .😂
Hi mate just just done something similar dropped bike fell on me got a partial torn hamstring how long before you were fit again ?
my anxiety was through the roof watching, god knows what yours must have been like🤣👍
I was quite calm and focused actually! 👍
Hard to believe this land of such wilderness is but a few days ride away from the rain-soaked UK...
Yep. 🤯
another good one Rich , was thinking i bet he wish it was a light weight 300 , and then you said it lol 😂, loving this trip 😉👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job you had that breakfast Richy😊
Richi long time subscriber and l thought the Scottish adventure had me heart in my mouth until this episode well done jealous 👍👍👍
Thanks for being here, Malcolm!
Pure luxury of a heavy bike. Well done tho 💪🏽
My biggest fear when I go out on my own green laning on my AT is getting stuck but like you’re self always managed to get it home
Bloody well done fella cracking series don’t want it to end
I’ve been editing the final 2 episodes all day, and feel equally sad that it’s nearly over.
Cracking series, amazing what you can achieve when the adrenaline is pumping. Bet you tried to lift the rear end & pull him back 😂
