Hard Adventure in Poland - Chris Birch KTM 1290 Super AdventureR

I got invited to Poland for an awesome ADV event that’s all about real off road riding on the big bikes. There were so many guys set up and ready to send it. This is the first day, before the rain came, check back for part two.

Omg that was one narly ride. Those polish guys are good riders.

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

Great to meet you today Chris I heard you were on track and thought that wouldn’t it be awesome seeing you out there. And ended up having lunch with you ! See you at ABR Molly sent me a vid of you wheeling on the tarmac section following simon on the triumph who joined us for lunch. Epic skills! 🙌🏻 Rich tubby trials team.

[@Rufus-OG]

Come on Chris, we’d all love to see you on your Kato out riding some hardcore trails with Pol on his T7 …. Surely you can make this happen as it’d be epic.

[@mototrailz]

Good job Chris ✊. Not fair they gave you the big mama while everyone is on mid size 😉

[@carlosmurgelcddr.1418]

[@boofstien2]

not too difficult :)

[@sapessi]

Up that vertical hill in 2nd gear?! To help with traction/reduce spin? and I don't even know how good you have to be on the front brakes to come down in control!

Oh sooo 🎉

Nice stitch up putting you on the 1290 and dropping you into single track hill climbs. 😂 💪👍

Sooo Chris ,how many km's a year do you travel , in a airplane I mean .😁

[@mikebelperio2579]

Which adventure bike do you prefer for off road 890 or 1290?

[@ElzbietaWe]

fajne tereny do jazdy - co to za okolica?

[@abominacja47]

Wszystko masz na filmie:) Startują z Rancha Adama w Peweli Ślemieńskiej. Radiowóz R567 należy floty żywieckiej policji. Objeżdżali Trzebinie, sądząc po reklamie sprzedawcy miodu. Natomiast druga część zaczyna się od tankowania na stacji Orlen w Jeleśni. Reszta to krzaki więc ciężko powiedzieć gdzie chłopaki dokładnie latali. Wszystko dobywało się w ramach Hard Adventure Games 2023.

[@PartsBMS]

What knobby tires are ya'll using?

[@braindead1353]

Will the 1290 SAR start with no problem in -30 celsius? Anyone know? Trying to find a bike that will work during winter as well. Was thinking of using a electric warmer used in the water hose , the smallest used in cars should work. There are no small ebersprecher or webasto that I know, that would be the best. If anyone has tips, please let me know.

[@MaRmAn1337]

What happened during that crash? Did your front get into a rut while the back was outside of it, hence it turned you sideways?

[@ecalzo]

i think the knobby of the back tire slipped on to the central rail under the grass while the front wheel passed trough

[@ChrisBirchNZ]

I tried to turn out of the rut but the back wheel stayed in the rut. Sometimes I forget I’m riding a 230kg bike ha ha

[@MaRmAn1337]

Yes, that’s what I meant, just confused the front with the back. Obviously the back got into the rut. Happened to me once and I drifted like that for like 30 meters. Luckily the back got out and I managed to save it.

[@ecalzo]

@@ChrisBirchNZ it happens.. :-) it's the proof you're human... and not an offroad alien

Chris, did you set offroad Mode and TC off?

Is that mph or kph ?

Does anybody knows who is the guy with the 890r with plates NO329F? The bike sounds brutal, I want it on mine too.

[@micharytych797]

In Poland you are not allowed to drive in the forests. You are a guest, respect the rules.

[@ChrisBirchNZ]

This was part of an organised event with full permission from the local authorities. In fact the Mayor of the local city came to visit us. Is that enough respect for you?

[@g000se99]

hahaha - WOW!!!

[@micharytych797]

@@ChrisBirchNZ No, because the Mayor of the local city cannot grant permission to drive in the woods. You and your friends drove into the forest, drove off-road and destroyed nature. It is illegal in Poland. Is that enough informations for you ?

[@MaRmAn1337]

@@micharytych797 stfu if you are not well informed, there are 100% legal roads in Poland which look like they are in the forest but in fact are not, these are called, in Polish, “wydzielenia z lasów państwowych” and ALL roads for the hard adv event were checked in respect to this to ensure their full legality

[@MaRmAn1337]

@@ChrisBirchNZ pls accept my apologies for this d***head which is implying you’re not respecting the rules while he knows nothing about the actual rules himself
