Bro, had a similar “crash”, on a similar rocky back road. I was doing about 40km/h though. The Triumph aftermarket crash bar saved the bike. If you were debating whether to get them or not, pull the trigger bro. Worth the money. They saved me a lot of money on that crash. Lol. Awesome video.
Crash bars and put some proper barkbusters on. I have beaten the everloving crap out of my XE on OHRV trails and it is still going strong. Also bring tools to realign your bars after a good crash. You will be glad you did.
I'm taking possesion of one of these next week and to say that I was just in a permanent state of butt pucker throughout the end bit of this video is an understatement, good on you for taking the bike out to do the thing it's supposed to do, realizing it was probably dumb to keep going and turning around and not ruining the bike to save your ego. Subscribed.
That's why I love 270 degree twins...what a sound. 😍 I'd like to see this engine in small retro hot hatch cars. Would be smooth and godly sounding for sure. 👍
Haha cheers man! Never intended to be that way, but sure as hell showcases what these machines are about. I'll be uploading more stuff end of the year/beginning of next, following a 2000 mile adventure with the better half, earlier this year, so stay tuned. 🤙🏼
@@unparalleledtwin901 I started riding this year and have been looking at what to get next. I'd like to be able to take a few hour ride and carry some clothes for weekend trips and such. Our roads around here can be pretty gnarly. I think your video has done a nice job showing this Scrambler would be a great choice.
Love this video, a very honest genuine video of the bike and you as a rider pushing your comfort, that’s were riding really happens. Enjoyed and subscribed, keep, keeping it real and honest .
You say "absolute fail" at the end of your vid. I disagree, I'd say "absolute success" - you pushed outside your comfort zone, had a go, fell but didn't injure yourself, or your bike - seems like a big win to me. MASSIVE THUMBS UP :) Cheers, Campbell:)
Hardnott pass looks a lot easier with an engine! Ive cycled up it many times and its probably the hardest climb in the country. Absolutely love the motorbike!
Hardnott and Wynose are great for that bike. Don't think many realize how much more the lakes have to offer than just lakes. Oh and you can take pictures. Just snap shot your video.
It's right near an old quarry, just outside of Castleton in Peak District. You have to follow the road up, those woods are just off a little single track! Genuinely perfect for wildcamping, well out of the way. 🤙🏼
Hey man, did you compare this with the Ducati Desert Sled? Loved this video!! Thanks for showing the less desirable moments of riding - happens to us all - best wishes
Those single track roads have me all manner of confused on what bike to get next - On the one road I LOOOOVE sports bikes, on the other hand I was out on my Street 765 RS the other week on roads similar, thinking. I'd love a Scrambler - 1200 / Or Desert Sled etc...
The space between your front wheel and the high mudguard looks unusually large, compared to my XC at least. Is that just due to the angle of the photo or did you do something to achieve that? Thanks in anticipation for your response
Just got the same bike today. Totally in love and obsessed. Question. Did you install the pannier yourself? I got the escape kit, and nothing came with instructions. Thought it’d be straight forward, and I’m sure it is but yet there are a lot of unexplained spacers ! Anyone with some guidance for the escape kit and/or just the pannier!?
Yeah you really don't need to cross seas to have a good time and indulge in epic scenery. Last road was a shocker! Declined rapidly, and the terrain went from loose gravel to ledges and boulders, fun times. (I was crying inside)
100%, that's what I took away from it. The drop was my fault, lack of momentum. Sometimes you've just gotta go all in. Soft luggage FTW though! Took the brunt of the drop, Scram was unscathed!
Cool vid - and good on you for posting your 'hairy' moment down the graveled rd. Looked semi-knarly, but I take it you don't go off-road much. You should do some ADVing, it'll build those skills up a lot:) BUT I know that oh SH#T! feeling well :)
Yeah I still have a lot to learn, used to off road a little as a kid, but got into green laning over the past few years. 1200 Scram with some luggage is on par with a middle weight ADV, so was interesting to handle. I think the decline and terrain took such a sudden turn, that I wasn't expecting it. Footage doesn't quite do it justice to be honest. I met 2 Royal Enfield Himalayan riders who were on the way up, they bailed the climb and decided to come down with me. Wish I'd captured all that. Thanks though man!
@@unparalleledtwin901 Yeah, the camera lies. This stuff is often much steeper in real life than it looks on camera. Hope the Covid isn't stopping you from getting out on your bike. Just sold my DR650 and hoping to have an Africa Twin by the end of the week :)
Thanks bud! Yeah pretty much, or overgrown fields just off byways. Places that didn't look like they were in use, or would cause any problems should I pitch up. 🤙🏼
Awesome intro! Never fun is the loose shit when the front wheel keeps washing out. Is that a GoPro 8 (or 7) on your helmet with some ND filters on? Love how the POV turned out. I hate the quality of my Sena 10C.
Thanks man! Something a little different. Yeah, it was momentum that screwed me over, you've gotta fully commit, can't be half in. It's a Hero 7 Black, set on 'Superview' gives a lovely wide angle, can pull great stills. No ND filters, standard. The stabilization with the Hero 7 & 8 is awesome too, genuinely no need for a gimbal. Rate 'em highly 🤘🏼
@@unparalleledtwin901 I use a hero 5 and the DJI Osmo Action for shots mounted on the bike, but was planning I switching to one of my action cameras for POV. Need to try and compare the Hero 7/8 against the Osmo Action since they both have stabilization. Still, great job with the video quality, it's up there with your top notch photography!
You and me both, that's what I thought this was until the sudden decline, stones turned into boulders and ledges were forming in the road.. I learned more about my XC though! Weight distribution and handling characteristics off road etc. Coming out of your comfort zone definitely makes you better as a rider.
@@unparalleledtwin901 True. The only way to expand your comfort zone is to break it. I've ordered a set of Dunlop Trailmax Mission to get some more grip although the Metzeler Tourance is pretty good for what they are. What tyres are you using? Are you happy with them?
Good video and congrats on the trip but please mate, no more shots of deliberately wheel spinning and tearing up the land (the intro), that is EXACTLY what gives our sport a bad reputation and provides justification for the anorak-wearing-bearded-ramblers-motorcycle-hating-spoil-sports to stop motorcycles from going off road in this tiny island of ours.The few trails we have left open to us are precocious.Set a better example next time please. Not cool for the rest of us.
Thank you. That intro was literally in an old quarry, it's not something I do anywhere, anytime. I just wanted to test out the GoPro, somewhere out of the way in a safe environment, this was just the place. Apologies though, I respect the point you're making, noted.
Oi I’m a beard wearing anorak who goes walking in forests etc. I’m also a green lane rider! Although I don’t quite have the spuds to take my XE down them, my cheeky GS 800 does that. Great video. What pipe are you using? Glad I ain’t gotta clean your go pro after that intro.
Not a fail at all takes a while to learn to ride those paths. Not easy, also not easy being OK with dropping 10k of triumph. But if you want to ride roads like that you will drop it. Go with it . It’s what the bike is meant for.
I don’t see why you could not go up on that crappy road maybe try it again going faster your on a scrambler after all also you might want to turn of the AVS - I’ve driven on roads worse then that in Vietnam on my wife’s Honda Lead scooter but i was not going up hill it was flat and I saying fuck the speed limit after all I’m on a highway with no police presents these roads are crap and it was hot very sunny out I forgot my gloves and got sun burn on my hands on the way to the beach come from Ho Chi Minh City
The guys not claiming to be Graham Jarvis, 205 kg bike without his kit on it he obviously got out of his depth no big deal. If you want to see what the scrambler is all about I suggest you look up Ernie Vigil.

Scrambler, the dream bikes of my childhood. Love the Triumph and the sound.
Fantastic clip .
I got my xe1200 3 days ago, childhood dream made into reality fantastic bike.
Regards
Dave from Scotland
My sweet brother..you manifested it ( when you stop the bike ) before you show the crash..;awsmmm video and lots of love from india 🇮🇳
Wonderful machine and landscape.
I was using all my strength to keep that baby upright. What a beautiful place to ride!
Then you need to learn how to ride
@@twotubefamily9323 I was talking about the video. When he dropped it. Your comment doesn't make sense.
Wow!! are those XE risers on an XC...please share details of all the parts you've changed...love the look!!!
Got a '23 XE about a month ago. I haven't had this much fun riding in a long-long time.
Loving your content! Great to see someone getting a Triumph Scrambler out there. My 865 build is without doubt the most entertaining bike I've had!

Insane roads! Looks like a lot of fun!
Triumph should show people who purchase the Scrambler this video so that they know what they're supposed to do with it. It's like a promo video.

Great work brother love the video and loose stones will get the best of anyone!
fair play mate that was cool! Heavy Breathing it at the end! beast to lift i'll bet.
Great video, especially that downhill at the end. Good for you to stop when you did. That road was sketchy.

Hardnott pass looks a lot easier with an engine! Ive cycled up it many times and its probably the hardest climb in the country.
Absolutely love the motorbike!
Living the dream there bud 👌👌🤟😎
Flibbin awesome!
That bike is sick
So good!!
@4.35 It looked very much to me like your rolled down that slope with the clutch in ?
Awesome bike!!! Love the sound of that exhaust. Why you riding in the wrong side of the road? Haha
Fantastic video. What mirror is that?
Living the dream! Where's the footage of the camp setups - more of this!
Love it man . Great stuff
Great vid, well done for getting up and carrying on. Take it from an old fart it's the most valuable thing I have learned to do.
Nice vid Matt, lucky you didn't have the bar end mirrors on
Really enjoyed this video, ive got a Ducati scrambler and I’m hoping to get out and do some similar things on mine this year! COVID allowing 🙏
Hardnott and Wynose are great for that bike. Don't think many realize how much more the lakes have to offer than just lakes. Oh and you can take pictures. Just snap shot your video.
whereabouts are you camping/riding right at the beginning of the video? Looks idyllic!
It's right near an old quarry, just outside of Castleton in Peak District. You have to follow the road up, those woods are just off a little single track! Genuinely perfect for wildcamping, well out of the way. 🤙🏼
No worries mate ... you’re riding her like the Scrambler she is!
Would love to do this with my svartpilen 401
Hey man, did you compare this with the Ducati Desert Sled? Loved this video!! Thanks for showing the less desirable moments of riding - happens to us all - best wishes
Nice place, nice video, gorgeous bike. But, if you use a mirror like that, it doesn't hit the fuel tank when you push your handlebar to the right?
Those single track roads have me all manner of confused on what bike to get next - On the one road I LOOOOVE sports bikes, on the other hand I was out on my Street 765 RS the other week on roads similar, thinking. I'd love a Scrambler - 1200 / Or Desert Sled etc...
Great bike - next time give it some beans and power through it up hill

Great video....what mirror is that.
we need more🔥🔥
I want an extended cut 🤣
Where did you get the lightening bolt exhaust cover from, my dude?
Nice video,, having on off road will improve your skill in riding..👍..what mirror did you use?
Which Exhaust do you have? And we you have taken the XC over the XE :-)?
Brother can you help me… I’m looking where is the best place to buy the high front mudguard kit?
nice to see a bike getting used for what it was made for and not just a tarted up posing machine...looks better with a couple of scratches.
Oh dear, bit of heavy weight for that. I sometimes struggle with my BMW 650 and that weighs only 352lbs, well done for having a go though 👍
Lot to learn...
Awesome stuff new sub here!
Am I right saying The cross of greet was on one part?
What tyres do you use and is the back wheel widwr than stock?
Really nice👌 Is this the original Triumph exhaust?
Fantastic views and roads and on our doorstep. I need to go ride more 😕 but not on that last road. No thanks. I'd have been crying after that!
Yeah you really don't need to cross seas to have a good time and indulge in epic scenery. Last road was a shocker! Declined rapidly, and the terrain went from loose gravel to ledges and boulders, fun times. (I was crying inside)
bomb!
First instinct is to check if the bike is hurt... 😅
Great Video What tyres have you got on the bike?. Keep making more videos!
Thank you man! Tyres are Mitas E10's, awesome rubber. I sure will!
Thanks will take a look at the rubber. Looking forward to your next video
Good on you for trying! Only way to improve.
100%, that's what I took away from it. The drop was my fault, lack of momentum. Sometimes you've just gotta go all in. Soft luggage FTW though! Took the brunt of the drop, Scram was unscathed!
Dude, you should have put your back to the tank and pushed with your feet, it would have been much easier.
Good luck to you. Good video!
this my dream bike
What gear do you have? That jacket was dope bro
Thanks dude! Helmet is a Biltwell Lane Splitter, jacket is a Richa Scrambler, jeans are Course Wasteland by XLMoto, and boots are Merlin Clan 🤙🏼
Nice little view of the area, you just need to develop some skills with experience, and then you would think that was all a piece of piss. Good Luck.

Fantastic video mate, did you just find random woods to camp in?
Thanks bud! Yeah pretty much, or overgrown fields just off byways. Places that didn't look like they were in use, or would cause any problems should I pitch up. 🤙🏼
Friend, why do you ride over the gravel in sitting position?
👍
Is that exhaust stock?

It's not really a scrambler if it doesn't scramble.
Buys a scrambler, complains about driving on a stony path.. 🙈
Wow. If that’s bike can’t handle that little trail it has no right to call itself a scrambler. Poor show.
Dumb comment.
Yeah not a scrambler. Just triumph fanboy marketing tripe.
