GSXR Off Road damage update

She's alive! Got away with very little damage considering what I put that poor bike through.
Total cost £41. The rest I'm just going to leave as although cosmetically she has some battle scars, it doesn't seem worth spending a load of cash when its just light scratches.
I do have some treats lined up for her though.. ;)

Baron: "I do this, so you don't have to!".

[@chrisg4rr377]

Did the double decker survive?

[@stexibg6371]

It just got a bit bloody ;)

[@SounderAU]

Had to come back and watch this again. Some classic Baron.

[@unknownbuddha5992]

Watching again in 2022!

[@andygaras]

remind me never to buy a bike from the baron

[@cemoguz2786]

I can

[@TheGardenSnake]

Wow, it came out pretty good after all that.

[@Ihatedsigningup]

I ride a sports bike and live down gravel road in rural Virginia. Though it's not mud, I feel your pain. The key is to have a healthy amount of speed while avoid big ass rocks and high-grade slants.

[@Addy29plus5]

Coming back to watch these videos after years.

[@ClaudeSac]

Me too! 👍

[@Addy29plus5]

ClaudeSac the golden era of motovlogging 👍

[@BTrain-jw3uk]

***** Round two on your GS?

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

I wouldn't have taken a dirt bike through what you took that sports bike through..

[@DeiseRebel]

The relief is unbelievable, happy to see you got out of there with the bike driving.

[@grahamsmith2022]

Tips for your next bright idea;eating dinner with a chainsaw?,heating bathwater with an electric toaster?,going scuba diving with a propane bottle tank?

[@markpulling12]

you sound like alan partridge aha !

[@gwynnromano5881]

Been there, done that. Z rated street tires and mud or soft sand; a deadly combination. Lesson learned.

[@HMSDaring1]

Yet we've never seen a video of you on your BMW R1200GS Adventure offroad, you know, the bike which is pretty much a go-everywhere kind of beastie.

[@steeveedee8478]

Well I had the 1100GS and whilst fantastic on road it was lethal off road - too top heavy and tendancy for back wheel to spin you around and over on soft mud. With knoblies on it might have been OK but road-bias tyres were a no-no for me!

[@almightycheese85]

Well that would just be too easy for the Baron now wouldn't it? Haha.

[@busstopscum7383]

Wow, if that's how you treat a motorcycle you're in love with, I'd hate to see one you hate lol.

[@polarbear111000]

I was watching this and thought, the only thing that would make this more funny is if there was the sound of wild dogs/wolves off in the distance and getting closer..................

[@InsanityHere]

. I think what would be funnier than that is if King Henry the 8th, were to trot by on a horse, with his entourage, and look down upon our fallen biker.

[@polarbear111000]

Yep, that would be good too. Then he'd ride away, and the wolves/wild dogs could start up. :)

[@thedonqwet]

cant believe you even tried that. im impressed by how well you did though.

[@jamesfoo8999]

Ah thanks for the heads up mate. Phew, I was just going to try this too :D Do you also advise against driving my car across the seabed to France? I was going to do this, but maybe you have some words of wisdom about it :D Good vid tho, glad nothing serious happened in the name of entertainment :)

[@Chrus600]

Not just any Double Decker, a Double Decker Duo! Good to see the GSXR is back on the road after your adventures.

[@sirlloyd6386]

I do believe you can be in love with a machine, especially one you've worked on yourself.. I bought a brand new ZZR1400 in 2010, I rode it straight home and locked it in the garage & didn't look at it for 3 days.. It was like deciding to marry an attractive prostitute. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I hated myself for it and wanted to hide the bitch away and out of sight! Never loved her at all. Divorced after 7 awkward months together..

[@andrewford80]

+SiR Lloyd LOL!

[@roooooooory]

Glad to see the old girl lives and breathes! You certainly had us worried!

[@moviebod]

such a video tart. Great video. I have been there on an XL:125S with knobblies. It sunk to the tank.

[@jabbacraig]

so lucky your bike is fine, glad to see your both back on the road

[@JakeyFlake93]

I actually felt your happiness through KZbin.

[@SharpblueCreative]

I am addicted to your vlogs! Fantastic. Please come to Swindon and do one.

[@keltondeoliveira]

I did some off roading with my Fireblade once, but it was dry. Thre was no mud at all. It was kinda fun.

[@TheBong1993]

At times your voice reminded me of Mark off Peep Show.

[@Bikerboy051187]

Nothing wrong with being in love with your bike, i have even gone as far as to name every bike i've had, and loved every moment on all of them = me loving them :)

[@mk1rob]

Like how the story starts with a double decker and ends with one! Great vid! Glad the bike didn't come off too bad!

[@OwainapDewi]

Everything went better than expected.

[@PappaFro]

Just watched this now. Glad to see she survived. :-)

[@Nomads_Rowing]

Thankfully a follow up piece to GSXR green lane testing. I think you should have put a bill into Suzuki for all cleaning costs, parts and the obvious PTSD endured as I’m pretty sure the official owners handbook will not state “do not go riding on green lanes” Yes to a red Boxster but big thumbs up to speed yellow 😎

[@Hmsfirefox]

thank goodness you finally put this video up i been wondering for days what the damage was and am amazed you got away with so little i was thinking totally cracked and scratched fairings and a water flooded engine, where "Baron von am a spanner" dropped in it in a puddle. so whats next week a different green lanes with you fireblade lol?

[@wradford1]

Good to see the bike wasn't too bad after your off road adventure. Yeah, your country roads sure look thin, not like here in OZ.

[@Hunteratloppshop]

I live in Honduras, where actual roads is not a super common thing. It takes a long time to learn how to deal with the conditions on a streetbike, but you only learn them by being forced to. I hope you'll give it a safer go on a cheaper bike next time to keep an open mind! It really can be extremely.. adrenaline pumping. As always, love the video.

[@kentbyways]

Hat off to you mate. I do all my rolling around in the mud on a tiger 800 xc with full knobblies, so makes it bit easier. Good watch though. Si

[@bakerXderek]

Spell checker is a hell of a tool.

[@TriumphRascal]

Glad to see the damage wasn't too bad. Keep on the black stuff!

[@Razorback83]

With all due respect, what did you think was going 2 happen.

[@georgejohnson8145]

The Alan Partridge of Biking - A-ha.

[@zantalz]

Really enjoying your vlogs mate. I first subscribed when you dropped the gsxr in the greenlane so it's good to see an update on the bike - and it's looking good!

[@Boiga.]

This started off inspiring me to find a green lane in Southwell to take my little 50cc (Im a uni student, with little money, get me from A-B nicely)... But then there was that horrific fall and it put me off. Your videos are epic mate. Always make me laugh so blunt about everything. Pleased to see the GSXR was alright in the end albeit with war wounds, but something to laugh about aye?! Keep up the good work pal! =)

[@SyprusGaming]

She looks beautifull man xD Must be such a delight to drive on a sunny day! Especially after missing her for such a long time!

[@jimmythesaint5364]

Can you be in love with a bike ?? Fuck yeh , they make you smile they make you cry and they give you a big hardon ........... ( dis-claimer , no exhaust pipe of my Fireblade was breached )

[@davejh8153]

ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa

[@bloggs24]

Take you gsxr off road they said, it will be fun they said :) :P

[@suicidalhawkeye]

Did you record this in another country Baron?? I saw sunshine!! thanks for being back

[@stanley3647]

It's not a problem with bike, only with tyres ;) But (I believe) off-road tyres is not available for GSXR ;) For recreation i using my pushbike, and i've got 2 set of tyres - one for dry/warm, and second for wet/cold. Difference is huge. Great Vid! Cheers!

[@Harmonyww]

Watch out Baron, your intellectual nemesis has arrived.

[@roytott]

Cracking myself up thinking about how hilarious it would have been if you would have convinced 5 or 6 of your mates to do a group ride down that road. Total sport bike carnage. Some stuck, others falling over every minute, everybody yelling WHAT DA FUK BARON!!

[@Bummer450]

Is good to have battle scars it gives character to the bike and every time you look at them it brings memories of wrong decisions and its consequences that now you can chuckle and laugh about it. Can't wait to see the goodies you gonna put on the bike. Cheers.

[@FredLeicester]

Glad to see your GSXR didn't come off too badly! Loving the vids!

[@Draycos99]

That was sneaky - "write it down and I'll watch it" Ker-ching! Instant cash for a rare Baron Von Grumble autograph ;)

[@zr9115]

Holy shit! I felt elation as you got back to cement.

[@ferrari1max]

Haha, amazing dude! I'd never have the balls to go down a mud road with my bike, but you did it. You are a crazy man. Much respect. Then you replaced parts and ride on. Very cool.

[@Zanderoony]

Glad you made it out of there, nothing better than a new knob to toe. Did you treat her to a full service also? Oh wait, maybe you just serviced the missus

[@MrRubyscube]

This shit is literally Jeremy from Peep Show making a motovlog. Love it!

[@Blahde]

As always mate, quality stuff from the Baroni

[@TheTheGuinness]

Happy to see bike is OK! :)

[@richardfld]

Svengalie, a similar sort of motorcycle vlogger attempted to take his ZZR-1400 down a mildly dodgy track... Ended up breaking his leg!

[@MaRK0849]

They're great machines. you'll love her.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Barron...if trying again and it MUsT be a performance road going bike,..make it an mt10 , DO shockingly well plus you wheelied and beat the hell out of the one you test so you've got the right frame of mind for it,..just need more speed and momentum lol. I honestly couldn't believe Barron Von Grumble was doing this on a gsxr lol ??? Crazy!!

[@PANDAC90]

Goldfrapp - Strict Machine, of course you can be in love with your bike! ;)

[@OrcaGT]

Good to see the GSXR back on the road mate. Still thinking of getting a cheapo enduro bike for round 2? :P

[@mototrippin]

Awesome Baron! you were a bit lucky on the damage. BTW filming the guy at the store was hilarious, great video!

[@TheWintersMedia]

2 GSXR 1000? You lucky, lucky man!

[@Spabber]

Wow, not bad! Hardly any damage at all. Thats it I'm taking the ZX10 on a downhill mountain bike track...

[@444lee]

So glad you've posted a update. I've been worring about that gsxr ha ha. Glad its not to bad for you buddy, take it easy :-)

[@FastNFearless]

wow can't believe the engine didn't crack when you fell into the water i now have respect for the gsxr that's one tough bike

[@879doogie]

glad to see the gsxr is up and running again. ever thought of adding a v-strom DL650 or 1000 to your collection? i've heard they are great bikes that can go most anywhere.

[@markpulling12]

i wonder who has the infamous bike now ? :)

[@DoctorSkyway]

Hey Baron just got into your videos yesterday and I've watched them all by now, you sir gained yourself a loyal fan :-) cheers !

[@ryanmalone2681]

I’m fairness, it went exactly as expected.

[@Taltsi]

Rieju MRT (AM6), Gilera SMT (Rabasa), Derbi DRD (Rabasa), Aprillia SX/RX (AM6), list goes on and on, i would reccomend Rieju myself

[@nervecentral]

I can't quite wrap my head around how you or anyone else could think the outcome of trying to offroad with a street bike could have been a "fun" experience or anything you would want to put your poor bike through. Made for an entertaining watch though... cheers!

[@dartagnan926]

I had what might be considered a silly question. When you leave the green lane and get back on the tarmac, is that considered a two-lane road or is it one-way? I'm an American who rides and to me that road seems really narrow. Just curious. I've enjoyed several of your videos this morning!

[@KathrynLiz1]

Brave little gixxer (didn't she do well?...)... and I think 'lesson learned' by you. That track was awful... a bit of a challenge on a trail bike, let alone a bike like yours... :-) I see you feel about your bike as I do about my Honda (in the pic).... good for you...Yes... you can be in love with a motorcycle! xo

[@Kid574]

hopefully you did completely clean and re-lube your chain after that nightmare ride :P

[@MrBlaaza]

hey baron, great motovlogs btw keep the good work up! very enjoyable topics and amazing bike! i was wondering however, you say you own your own business, what is it you deal in? electronics? media?

[@tweetchris46]

VERY LUCKY indeed, glad the damage wasn't too bad old chap. New knob and job's a good'un. stay safe....oh and enjoy the Olympics.

[@dresdaSDC]

Well done, getting out. If it had been dry you'd have been just fine in there :-) Tip: Get yourself a Suzuki DR650 with a set of karoos, just the thing for the novice DS rider. Farkle it out with plastic tank and a better seat and you've got yourself a bike you can play with and drop without a care in the world! I love mine!

[@RobbieSherman]

That was an intense two parter.

[@ChrisJohn_444]

Funny to think that that's your track bike now - trusty ol' gixxer. :D

[@JamesSS69RS]

Swap forks and tires and you can ride that thing anywhere you want. Hell I love watching the R1 dirt bike videos.

[@TheNoobishGamer]

It looks way better with the fairings off!

[@Deaconator1000]

Just a little FYI, across the road from that Shell garage there is a massive off roading area, might be good to take the scrambler there, or the GSXR... also, that video of you down the green lane was fucking funny. I couldn't have thought of a worse situation. Maybe if there were some horses or people on actual off road bikes to see you, that might have made it a bit better.

[@JulianDavidson]

Well done, very impressed, I wouldn't take my BMW Adventure down there unless we'd had another drought and even then I'd have to prep the bike first, dropping tyre pressures etc. Loved both video's, very good background music and commentary. Yes, can pick mine up and done the Off Road School :-)

[@SparkzArtz]

Aha, Glad shes back up and running xD Just wondering but whos GSXR is that in your garage other than yours?

[@jimbo80982]

BaronVonGrumble For some reason I can't reply... in any case, jump down to your local suzuki dealer and try out the suzuki DRZ 400. Other things to try are the yamaha XT 660 (if you plan on off roading , get the tenere). You are old enough to go a test drive on these bikes , I'm not (18 years old is too young for most dealers) so I just had to buy to try (and love) the Vstrom :). I had an XT 600 before and they are fucking awesome for rush hour filtering. The big bars help a LOT!

[@RogueRiderUk]

Lovely knob by the way!

[@dubiousricardo]

Not a good idea, you are quite correct! But thanks, it was amusing!

[@MicaNy]

happy for you man !

[@theonlynemesis]

You sir are a legend

[@Morebyable]

I know its an old video, but I'm glad you gave her some treatment afterwards, really - dragging that beauty through all that. If a bike could speak, that gal would've killed you verbally. Surprised it didn't just toss you off on the way back lol.

[@PeterMurphyceltic]

Ask for advice from @Teapotone. He's done the world on a gixer

[@ApexIXMR]

Man, what's with the Double Deckers in all your videos. Haha, i've never had one. If I'm ever over the pond over in the UK, i'm going to have to try one.

[@nataliacattaneo4237]

I did the same ride with my zx12 and didn't have an issue

[@weebl15]

Yes, you can be in love with your motorcycle. As long as you have place to put your knob.

[@ProbabilityWave0]

i just noticed spicy liked this an hour before it was uploaded....i guess he was going 88mph....

[@EZER1DER1]

mate how many bikes do you have just wondering and loving the two gixxers :)

[@Jamieb193]

Stickers are expensive though. For my Yamaha YZF-R125 it's £130 for the side fairing sticker
