Five Chillies River KTM New Zealand Adventure Rallye

[@Isha048]

I never saw Chris Birch in trouble, always a piece of cake... amazing! Thanks for the video!

[@Mark1JT]

My local anti dirt and scratch motorcycle contingent is having a stroke just watching this video, 😆.

[@gumbyenduroadventures6225]

You're a machine Chris. Great video.

[@Beyond46]

Amazing adventure! I’m glad you took us with you :D

[@rulife2885]

Great video and such fun times. Still amazed by that little 390. Can't wait to ride with you again soon🤙🏼

[@ChrisBirchNZ]

They are an impressive bike eh!

[@pigeonpallz1733]

I smile when I watch your videos as much as I do when I ride . I even got an 890r after watching your videos and absolutely love the bike . I swear it makes me a better rider lol

[@ChrisBirchNZ]

Nice one!

[@wabo1]

Absolutely amazing ride!

[@BD-ww7go]

Looks like you kept the rads clean and the engines cool ❤

[@ChrisBirchNZ]

After all the mud on the previous days it was good to give them a clean out!

[@rodrigofabregas7756]

Excelent water fording!...and those high speed willies also!. Hey Chris...you have to explain that motorcycle undrowning technique...please!

[@65BAJA]

That 390 was getting it done. Very nice!

[@ultimatist]

Amazing footage and riding as always, Chris! Unfortunately, the new KZbin compression makes videos look terrible... hoping another platform can deliver footage as it was intended to look.

[@channelg1461]

390 is a beast 😊!! Awsome vidio 🤩💯💥

[@TubbyTrialTeam]

Great vid. Good to see your going to ABR festival in the uk.

[@DuncanJimmy]

These trails looks absolutely epic. I'm based in Wellington and the ferry's are a joke these days, but it's definitely on my bucket list to take a ride through some of the spots you've shown - with permission and guidance, of course.

[@ChrisBirchNZ]

They really need to get the ferry’s sorted. It’s a mess

[@ekaterinaenyutina3130]

Nice to see 390 there

[@adventurearyck64]

That lady does an awesome job. All of the people I ride with would turn around at the first river 😅

[@periwinkle227]

Wow man what a skill

[@fabiopavao8330]

Sou fã do Chris Birch, da KTM, e seria um sonho poder dar um rolê com ele e as motokas num lugar tão bacana como este

[@houjous5131]

I love seeing noobies learning the ropes!

[@houjous5131]

And Chris flexing his skills at the end.

[@justsomedude445]

gotta be honest i ride alone 90% of the time and id have been looking for a way around some of that water instead of crossing it , or turning back

[@kx8960]

Same here....PLUS the fact that I haven't ridden dirt on a regular basis since '91 (though I've still been riding sportbikes)....so, I'm DEFINITELY a noob! At this point in my life (59) I'm now more all about just "Dirt Touring" long distances and seeing the sights I CAN'T get to on my sportbike, rather than doing the difficult stuff where you might do 30mi/day. Awesome to watch Birchy and friends though, something to aspire to! As I get my "dirt legs" back, I'll probably challenge myself more.

@@kx8960 im 55 , ive had street bikes in the past even a brand new honda 1100XX at one time in my garage but truth be told while i had that bike i also had a beat to hell XR650L that i wound up riding alot more then the XX , USFS roads and Mt passes are my thing , old enough to be over the single track which i never likes as much as the USFS roads but i live in the NW so i am in a great area for off road travel and exploration

[@justsomedude445]

@@kx8960 rolled 180 miles with my son Yesterday most of which on dirt roads

[@kx8960]

@@justsomedude445 Nice! Been working on both bikes as a "staycation" this year for Memorial Day. I would LOVE to have a good riding partner, but, since I'm the anomaly at my age and single, most people I know and of my temperament are married with kids and grandkids. The single guys are in their 20'-30's and I don't have too much in common with them. I did almost all my riding in the desert of SoCal in the '80's to '91 when I moved, so, I'm more into the higher speed open desert stuff anyways. So, the dirt here and in UT are pretty perfect for my likes. I DO love mountain dirt roads/tracks (I'm from CO), but not the muddy tough single track where you're fighting just to stay upright all day. Dirt Touring is my thing now, with a hotel with AC and shower at the beginning and end of every day, and usually a hot tub and pool to relax in at night with a bourbon.

[@justsomedude445]

@@kx8960 we are more alike than not apparently , Bourbon , single more-less , workaholic tho , and yes my days of tenting it by choice are over

[@adventurearyck64]

Say no to drown motorcycles!😂❤

[@ninaadnirgudkar7752]

im new to adventure trail riding. Hope to reach this level of skill and comfort. I own a 390 adv

[@Jeff-vv9uy]

I wouldn't have the confidence to ride through the water especially on my 1290

[@Vahu19]

@ Birchie.... if I mention your name in the dealership, do you get any kickback? :) i'm ready to order a 890 adv r

Hello what is the driving mode? what is the configuration

[@gerardderuyter454]

Ah the pleasure we get from our CO2-pumping machines. Shame they also raise the planetary temperature.....ah well, best not to think about that.

[@pomaxa250]

woman- truble

[@adventurearyck64]

I think she does a very respectable job. Riding rocks and river crossings all day would probably have you pretty tired out. I’m surprised there weren’t more crashes and drown bikes from the whole party with the depth of water and that heavy current. Kudos to all of the riders. Well done!

[@kx8960]

Pro Tip: If Chris Birch asks you: "Are you SURE you want to do this?" ALWAYS say NO!🤣
