I can’t tell you how uncomfortable it made me to see you eat that Kit Kat that way 😂
-
The dude took a bite out of the whole KitKat like a psychopath

I ride a t7, and I pack 2x gloves, a spare tube, tyre levers, a bead buddy, a mini jack to lift one wheel, duck tape and zip ties. Couple of sockets to fit the most common bolts. All fits under the seat of the t7

I always found that an old car engine cam-belt was easy to pack and extremely useful for dragging the bike out of mud holes and gorse bushes. You can't break them and they even make ace tow straps. The teeth are good for grip too.

With your experience and abilities on your 300, you’re gonna nail it on the 890. Looked like a cool ride, narrating was awesome & entertaining as always! Good times ahead, looking forward to more adventure content 🤘

For tools to carry on an adventure bike, I would say: tire puncture repair kit is most important (air pump), the tools you used to change oil, and spark plug, remove gas tank, (there are many T25 torx bolts on my KTM). Then things like thread locker, zip ties, electric tape. Don’t bring the whole socket set, or wrench’s, just the pieces related to the size bolts on your bike.

Brilliant mate, more of this content will be epic . I ride a tiger 800 (as well as off road bikes) and was nice to see this type of video. appreciate your efforts bud✌🏼
-
Hearing that Tenere exhaust brings a smile to my face. KTM made a great bike, but the Tenere is a fantastic value and sounds wicked.
-
Hells yes! Well done mate. Cross-skill between the adv and enduro bikes is awesome. Switching between my T7 and 21 EXC tpi I find that engine speed is the greatest difference: the T7 can lug through anything at low revs and the EXC wants constant high revs. Also learning to steer with the rear on the adv makes for more speed through the corners - scary to begin with but heaps of fun once mastered. Keep up the good work mate - we love it!
-
Thanks for confirming that the 890 is easy to ride on trails like these if you got some enduro skills before! Loving this content.
-
If your looking for good duel sport tires or even dirtbike tires I suggest shinko duel sport 705s or if your just looking for a good dirt tire try the Dunlop MX33s. You won’t be disappointed with either
-
I really liked your 1st ride vid. You have purchased a fine machine for sure. While your bike is muddy, you can practice laying it over and then picking it up. Due to the unique gas tank design, it is supposed to be easier to pick up than most bikes of its class.
-
Love the video man and looking forward to seeing more of this type of content. I’ve a T7 and absolutely love some of the places it takes me. Been putting videos up each week of some of my adventures, hopefully will make it over to wales again this year too. Anyway keep it up 👌🏼
-
Nice real world ride, thanks for sharing. The 890 is my current "gotta have it" bike.
-
Dude, I just found this channel by this video and let me say that I am so STOKED to see more videos from you on the 890. Also you got some incredible riding where your at!!! So jealous!!!
-
I’m traveling America (Chicago to Balcarce, Argentina) on a GSA 850, right now I’m Costa Rica… I wish I had your skills! I like doing off-roading but I’m much slower (I blame it on the weight) 😂. Still loving every minute of it. Keep on sharing your rides!
-
Great vids mate, do like the adventure bikes stuff and do look forward to seeing more come along in action. 😎👍
-
Yo! Loving the new adv content! Few months back picked myself up a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro and it was one of my best decisions adding a adv bike into the garage! Keep up the good work and keep the content coming!
-
Another great vid, get some pivot pegs, they make a huge difference. Keep up the mix of enduro and adventure, loving it
-
Me and my mates have just started out on the 890 and it’s been great, we have tubeless plug repair kit, Co, 12v pump and the standard tools for now. Hoping to go around the TET in Spain & beyond.
