EP1 - TET Pyrenees on Honda CRF250L - Light is Right! (by Shem)

Episode 1 out of 3 from my trip to Pyrenees Mountain Range on my Honda CRF250L. I always wanted to explore Trans Euro Trail (TET) in other countries and what's the better place to start than Pyrenees!

Great video, thank you for posting, told me what i need to know. Now part 2 :-)

[@Shem]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@2BoldlyGo]

nice video will be watching all the others, what tyres are you using ?

[@JohannesDalen]

What a trip my friend - and excellent video. Hope all is well with your leg ❤ - Johannes

[@AudioNostalgia]

Yup, recovering well, thank you. Cannot wait for our next trip 😁

[@davidmatthews3093]

A great video, thanks for posting it.

[@Shem]

Thanks!

[@Motoeuro]

This was excellent! Well done gents! Johannes did well on that huge T700, but the CRF is the bike for this - Off to watch PT2 now!

[@Shem]

Thank you, appreciate the comment 😁. Yes, despite all my UK friends having mid-weight ADV bikes, I’ve never felt that my CRF250L is inadequate and I need a bigger bike. If anything, I’m now thinking if I can get even lighter bike - something like adventureised KTM 500 EXC - short of 110kg dry sounds very appealing 😂 Do you still ride the CRF250 Rally?

[@Motoeuro]

@@Shem cheers! No 250 now, me thinking 450 EXC 😬 same boat! Hope you’ve recovered 👍

[@Shem]

@@Motoeuro Haha, brilliant! You’ll probably get yours before I get mine, so I’ll be checking your channel. Thanks, I’ve still got a month in the cast and then at least another month of rehab to be able to walk, but I cannot wait to go riding now 😁

[@Fromatic]

That looks very tough going but rewarding with the views etc, good job!

[@AudioNostalgia]

Yes, some parts of the TET in Pyrenees were a lot harder than I expected. I’ve heard from people that it’s all gravel and you could do that on the GS1200 - I don’t think I’d be comfortable taking the heavy bike like this on some of these knurly trails. Anyway, thank you for watching!

[@Bowlin01]

Awesome, the 'greener/ more overgrown' parts look a lot like some of the trails around me at the moment. 👍 Really got to get down to the Pyrenees on my CRF sometime.

[@Shem]

Wow, where do you live? That sounds like a lot of fun! I’d definitely recommend Pyrenees - I’d go back again 😂

[@patrickbc8649]

Where did you get the black plastics for your bike? Love your content :)

[@Shem]

Thanks. The black plastics are stock, Honda sold this bike in the UK in two colourways - Red and Black.

[@marckienast4657]

Hey, which app do you use to naigate?

[@Shem]

Hey. I use “OsmAnd Maps”. The interface is a little clunky but you get used to it. But for a one-off fee you can purchase World maps and download them onto your phone. So even if you don’t have reception (I.e. Internet), you can continue to navigate.

[@apptesting3785]

a GPX file of your trip will be appreciated

[@Shem]

With an exception of getting to France, I've been following the Trans Euro Trail (TET). You can download the GPX files for different countries here: transeurotrail.org/
