The Adventure Begins - Permission to Torque
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The first stretch of my 5000 mile solo road trip to the Balkans - Permission to Torque is a Mental Health movement set up to show others that you "get it" by displaying a discrete symbol for others to take comfort in. Its not about sitting around in a circle feeling sorry for yourself, its about shared experience and getting out there to find out what makes us happy - this is the aim of my trip and why I am sharing it on RUclips, the good days and the inevitable bad ones too.
I hope you enjoy the journey with me and find it at least vaguely useful! :)

So here we go! This series is a "no frills" diary of my trip - no drones or guffage etc. just chatting away and showing you the sights like its 2012 again 😂
Great stuff man, can't wait for the next part. Cheers from Texas.
@@illectrik wooo id love to go to Texas!
@@BaronVonGrumble everything’s bigger in Texas buddy
enjoying this, was that a grizzly bear in the intro?
@@adamryan1753 its not a grizzly, its a wild bear in Romania. there are quite a few that sit by the roads scavenging food
I guess I never did give you my name. I'm Lasse, but Lars is close enough I suppose! 😂 My trip continued through most of Europe for over 4 months and 30.000km further, after we met on the tunnel. Long story short; I had an incredible journey and gained many experiences along the way. All the way rocking the Permission to Torque sticker you gave me.
I'm so excited to seeing how the rest of your trip went. You went much further into the Balkans than I managed.
Also I can't imagine how much faff it must have been to film and manage the files... I had enough to do keeping a diary and tons of photos. So kudos for that.
Wow hey Lasse! Great to meet you mate and the rest of your trip sounds epic - well done
r/ wholesome
We found Lars!! (You'll forever be Lars now!)
Hi Lars !
Rebranded by Chris is an honour in the p2k community👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Maybe this is a weird thing to say but it's such a relief to have some quality motorcycle related YT content these days. Capable rider who isn't trying to prove anything, a lovely bike, beautiful footage and audio, a fun tour, and great post production. It's the whole package, Chris.
The cuts on the intro immediately stood out to me. Very good editing.
Can not bloody wait to sit down with a beer and enjoy this once the kids are asleep!! Baron, your daily morning walk to combat depression advice has been excellent for me recently. Cheers!
Thanks Jordan - much appreciated :)
Chris your recent videos have made a real difference to me. Still some massive hills but I have hope.
Sincerest thanks brother ✊🏽
glad to hear buddy - we're all in the same boat!
"Im on the brink of having some sort of collapse" yep that's the boat I'm on 😄
Personally I find seeing the softer/ vulnerable side makes you relatable instead of seeing all these others on youtube that end up being fake. I think that's why people like you so much. Looking forward to the next episode
Well done Chris.
I have suffered with depression for about the last 15 years. I haven’t really have anything in life to be depressed about, I’ve got a successful career, amazing, girlfriend, and beautiful children. My biggest enemy in life is myself. I really struggle to talk to people about it, so it’s really inspirational what you are doing, and the way you talk about your mental health. I’ve just got a bike again after six years and it really helps to clear my head. I’m loving the video diary and might look to do something very similar myself in the future.
Chris everything you say in the intro proves your human mate and from following your channel from its earliest days a very nice chap to boot, good on you for having the guts to keep going this will definitely be a good watch I'm sure kind regards mate .
Great to see a fellow biker promoting mental health issues. 👍
Really enjoyed that Chris! Looking forward to more 👍
cheers Chopsey!
When you got to the train and celebrated - I felt that. It was the culmination of putting your socks on and getting out the door, starting the bike and making it down the road. You did it.
Just imagine how many people you will be helping out by showing the happiness as well as struggles! Good on you mate! 👍👍👍❤️
I’ve got maximum respect for your openness and honesty Chris! Most people aren’t even honest with themselves, let alone others. Can’t wait to watch the services unfold
This is exactly what I needed, old school BVG. Massive respect for talking about your mental health, thank you. I sincerely hope you're feeling better, Chris. Gonna binge the rest of the episodes now. Cheeeeers!
BVG - I love 44 Teeth - But BVG is was and will forever be the best Motovlogging channel. Awesome journey Chris
Been looking forward to this and it hasn't disappointed mate, looking forward to the next one 👌🎬❤️
Proud Pure Blood!
Nothing better than heading away on a solo adventure. I spent just under 4wks covering 4500 miles in Spain back in September.
Can’t say I agree with all your views especially around COVID but I admire your bravery to bare all that’s a honesty few would be prepared to share. Having a daughter who suffers from mental health issues I know how paralysing it can be. Enjoyed the first video of your trip and looking foreword to the rest. I’ve ridden for years but ashamed to admit rarely ventured further afield than a coupe of hours from home I’m determined next summer to make a few longer trips.
Thank you for the reasonable disagreement, that's how it should be! Hope your family is getting better 🙏
What a joy to watch Chris. Thanks for making this. It’s a true inspiration.
As someone who also suffers from anxiety, I know the bravery that this took. Well bloody done mate!
I suffer in exactly the same way, about concentrating on all the things I could have forgotten or may have lost etc etc. I can’t seem to stop doing it.
I did the same. But i think it was Chris who said in one of his older videos "as long you got your phone and wallet you can buy what you need". And i think of that everytime i go on tours and that seems to help
Passport, phone and wallet are all you need
I think you have left the gas on….and did you lock the car?
@@wl660 it's funny you mention that.
We went off on a tour (greenlaning) to France from the UK a few yrs ago.
Got back to the UK 10days later to find my friend had accidentally switched on his deep fat fryer when he was going around the kitchen sockets turning them all off!!
Everything was fine except his house was smelt like a chip wagon for about a week after! 😂😂😂
@@chrissmith7069 😂
Baron, can't thank you enough for the smiles, laughs and adventures you share. Your comment on Shania Twain on Radio 3 nearly made this Canuk piss himself laughing on the sofa.
@ˡᵉᵗ'ˢ ᵗᵃˡᵏ ᵒⁿ ᵗᵉˡᵉᵍʳᵃᵐ@Official_44Teeth
Seasons greetings fellas. What's the big hoopla that I'm in danger of missing out on? Need a Canadian guest rider to join you in Portugal for the next superbike shootout???
Ummm, let me check my schedule.... sure. Why not?
Hey Chris. A romanian here. Wonderful video that got me inspired as well. Nice to see that Romania was included as well on the list :)
Chris, You are a naturally very funny guy but you don’t realise it. You should be well proud of your videos, all aspects. Thank you for sharing your travels on a bike, not just any bike but a BMW1250GS TE.
"Trying to find Shania Twain on Radio 3." Ha! Love it!
Not getting my hopes up however
What a start to a day, watching one of your vids . Take care brother
Bleddy Brilliant, Therapy and Inspirational Travel Vlog all in one!
Just what my restless mind needs waking up Down Under. Can’t wait for the next instalment. Wunderbah 🤠
Bloody double decker! Just started watching your videos again after years of watching other shit - I've missed your adventures SO much!
Brilliant! Being a BvB follower since the early days of the “riding into London” faffery. It’s been great following your mental health recovery journey. Massive appreciation for you sharing and allowing all of us to be here with you!
It’s been a long time coming but we’re really enjoying this and can’t wait for the next episode - honest, down to earth and compelling! Thanks Chris! 👍😀
This is beautiful. Plan on watching this whole series. I watched the GSXR 1000 series 10 years ago wishing I was old enough for a street bike. Now I've had six bikes, two currently and absolutely loving it. Thanks for the incredible inspiration over the years
Your videos are the best, you have natural ability to relate back to what's going on around you and pull us into your journey, Topman 👍😊
Excellent looking forward to watching this cheers 🥂
Great to have you back BaronVonGrumble I missed you.
Watched about 5 minutes of it and loving it already... loving the anticipation.
I'm not going to claim to understand the struggles of mental health as I am not struck by them myself, but for me, I very much feel a mental "reset" when I go motorcycle touring. I recently got into solo trips and have come to enjoy the peace of mind I find when sitting alone deep in a forrest with a fire going and just enjoying the views and sounds of nature after a long day of riding.
Bloody excellent! With you on all levels 🙌🏻
Stay safe and keep up the great work 😉
Bon Voyage Chris. Looking forward to your journey. My new mantra is Enjoy Life - It's later than you think.
You were the first of my watching you tube motorcycle video heroes with your Barcelona trip. Now your back for a new run. I'm here for the whole trip!!!!! your leaving in the snow had me hooked. looks so much warmer this trip.
Life hack for the chunnel/ferries. Carry a clothes peg. Dead easy to hold your boarding pass to the screen without it blowing away. Also handy to have for hanging your gloves up to dry, etc etc.
If hoped this is what, PTT meant...and it does. Sticker ordered. Great channel. ❤
I’m finally getting a chance to watch this series like the old days!
Bernie in Sydney
So glad you decided to edit and post these, I was getting worried. Thanks Chris!
Inspirational and motivational. Can not wait for the rest of the diary. Smashing it BVG.
Good work centurion, im struggling right now with my business and the pressure of trying to get everything done for everyone else.
Always enjoy your open and humorous thoughts sir
Brilliant video again mate 👍
Absolutely NAILING them kill switch presses! Been so ready for this I’ve had the sticker on my MT for ages now!
Love this type of video mate keep up the good work stay strong 💪 and remember as a biker your never alone 👊ride safe mate 👍
Did a similar solo trip last year. Great trip, I was out of my comfort zone most of the time, which is a strange way to travel when you think about it. Sometimes it was the greatest motorcycle moment of my life, the next I just wanted to teleport home. Eager to see the rest of your journey, I'm sure it will bring back some of my France to Romania memories.
Fair does mate! Cannot wait for the next episode, cheered me right up after a shite day at work...👍
Looking forward to the videos. I love your no BS attitude. And it sounds like you're suffering from some bad anxiety and depression. Finding a healthy release and a way to let go of the things that drag you down is a must. Sounds like you've got your walks to help you cope to a degree. Have you tried CBD? It was an absolute savior for me personally. I suffered a TBI and along with that came anxiety, depression, and the loss of joy from my life.
For me swimming, cycling and gardening are my therapy. Pushing through the anxiety and realizing I've been through hard times before help me cope and calm down. Best of luck with the issues you're suffering from.
This will be an amazing experience. I suffer mental health issues as well and scared myself by leaving my comfort zone on a 5000km tour of British Columbia and Alberta this past summer. I relate to the whirling brain about distances and time zones and clocks changing automatically. Stuff most people don't think about very much 😝 I couldn't afford hotels so I solo camped and admittedly cried myself to sleep more than once but all in all it was a positive experience and showed me I'm so much more capable than I ever dared imagine. It was very empowering and has made me a happier person to have had those experiences. I can't wait to see how you go. I'm going to bet brilliantly! ❤️🌈🏍️
I struggle to believe it's been 9 years since that trip...Good to share your travels again Baron.
I know, I watched these videos back when I was still in school! I’ve now 27 with a 7month pregnant fiancé where does the time go!
I absolutely loved the first trip 9 years ago. It seems insane that I’ve been watching the Baron for this many years.. Never disappointed!
you got me into riding mate still love the vids thanks for keeping on it
Cheers mate. I'm from Luxemburg and i was nicely surprised that you travelled through our lovely tiny country :) I'm pleased to see more of your adventure trip - i wish you the very best!! ride Safe mate!! btw, it the river that you past on the border to Germany, called "Mosel"😉
Just what i needed now. Thank you BvG!
Did my first solo uk to eu trip for years 2 months ago…….sounds so very familiar. Great video, looking forward to more.
Great stuff my friend! Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us . That’s why we love you so much . Keep on keeping on Chris, us Canucks are behind you.
here we go the good old days, we've missed you man 😀
Fantastic stuff, I met you at motorcycle live a few years ago, and you were a gentleman. Look forward to watching Chris
Great viewing as always looking forward to the next one 👍
Good start. That bike looks loaded for sure. Interesting series, I'm all up for it.
110 for one night...damn. These are expensive trips man. Travelling on a bike, best therapy! Just you and the road.
Can't wait to live vicariously through this next 25 mins. Been waiting for this video for bloody ages.
Aaaaah perfeeect. So excited for the rest of the series. The production on these videos is outstanding.
I’m lagging with my viewing but it’s still just as good. Looking forwards to viewing the following episodes. Makes me want to go and do my own solo tour.. on my GSA1250, of course 👍
Thanks Baron! I’ve been so looking forward to you sharing your next video ❤
Great video. Keep up the good work.
Look forward to the next one 👍🏻
Baron Von tour. NICE. ❤ loving it !!
I’ve found that anytime you can push through anxiety lessons it in the future and really makes you appreciate what you’ve achieved, unfortunately any time anxiety wins it seems to increase it’s hold, stay strong mate and make the most of the good days.👍
"(...) trying to find Shania Twain on Radio 3". And that's why this fella is the 🐐
Wow. This is awesome! You are awesome! What a fantastic vlog. So impressed. It's content and rapport is first class. Great wit. I'm now watching your other vlogs. Cant believe you've been doing this for so long and only now I have found you.
Great viewing. Thanks.
Cracking trip, amazing, insightful diary. Thank you for sharing; I hope you are getting at least as much out of it as we do (empowered, understood).
Concerning the route itself -- if you don't mind, could you perhaps record your route next time and share? I'd love to see the GPX, then "reenact" arguably great trip.
*crackling speaker voice with an accent* “Have you had both your vaccines?” Fffuuuuucking CHILLING!
Sounds exciting, look forward to next uploads, great content 👍
hurrah another baron tour! great start looking forward to the rest.
Great to have a BvG vid to watch and look forward to the rest - have to disagree though about the Channel queues being down to the French - I put it down to us now being outsiders without FOM.
The fist pumps with a fellow biker filled me with pure delightful joy, abseloutely fantastic vlog Chris 👏👏👏👏 bring on the 2nd installment
Need to find time to sit down properly and enjoy this! Thanks BG!
Been looking forward to this starting! I like the P2T thing. Both my mom and brother suffer with anxiety and depression. My mom from when I was young and my brother after his marriage fell apart. So I know a thing or two about it, all be it from the other side. I only have to look at them to know how they are. It’s about time we had someone talking about it so openly. I have seen first hand the way my brother is treated differently to my mom. Keep up the good work. Xx
This is as magical as 🌈 rainbow🌈 🧚♀️fairy🧚♂️ sprinkled toast🍞!
⚡Big thanks⚡
Brilliant, what a strong and instant return to Grumblefoolery, still my favourite bikeologist by far. Thank you and can’t wait to watch more 👍👊🏻
Brilliant......looking forward to next vid thank you
Great to see you back touring - even better to learn that you have not had the britney's 👍
Been looking forward to this! Go Baron!
Good to see you back on the road.
ahh, the classic 'goose step' for getting on and off a fully laden bike. Keeps the Pflaumen locker 'ed
Brilliant Chris looking forward to all videos
Thanks Fella, As somebody that is at times crippled by anxiety, good on ya. Tiz a battle at times. So yup, I get it. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I have missed the typical BVG waffle...nice to have you back...look forward to the next episode.....
A good old no nonsense travel vlog video, well done. Definitely wets my appetite for the rest of the series, as well as makes we want to do more trips.
It is fucking amazing to see you back in full swing again baron, you have been missed sorely
This video has done more for my mental health than the NHS has ever done. Waiting for the winter to pass before getting to ride again in the spring destroys me at this time of year.
Something about a moto trip, and the excitement of leaving your driveway is just so thrilling. Making sure you have all the things, and it's nerve wracking, but then once you're out for a bit everything settles in.
God it makes me excited that you're back, you have no idea how happy it makes me watching these long form videos, that period that you went through where you said these kind of videos are dead, definitely not!! I love them, thanks Baron, keen to carry on with the series
Awesome. Love it Chris well done 👏
This is the best bike footage on RUclips thanks so much Chris for all the editing and footage I love it all!
A great watch Chris, am looking forward to watching the rest of your adventures. Stay strong, we love you 😊
Baron It's so good to see you back. Hopefully Spain next year. More uploads please lol. As always GREAT VIDEOS !!!
You sir are a Legend, i was first dragged to your channel watching you slowly take apart a Gsxr offroad " What was you thinking lol " to now, keep em coming m8 your videos do help other's. Thank you :)
