GSXR Off Roading - Baron von Nightmare

Never ever do this. This is my worst ever experience on a motorcycle.
For some reason i decided to take my GSXR1000 green-laning - yes I am a complete penis. I apologise for the profanity - i was losing the will to live.
I could have easily broken my leg in one of the crashes, I had no cell phone reception, nobody knew where i was and worst of all, i had no Lucozade or Tracker bars to maintain my energy in the wild... Just one Double Decker which softened the impact upon landing.
Is this the last we hear of Baron von Grumble?...

BTW - I fully blame Mototrippin for making off road look like fun ;) go look and see!... / mototrippin

£41 poorer and one experience richer. Life isnt worth living unless you experience new things.

Seen this clip posted on various bike forums with many derogatory comments, personally I think its a great bit of comedy and entertainment and is probably what got the Baron noticed to a wider audience.

I have nightmares about my motorcycle, and this video provided me with the same stomach-sickness feeling. Excellent.

[@Harlo26]

I heard about this man from one of you’re moto Mondays

[@surg23]

It would be damn funny if you did this on a demo bike and come back to the dealership with mud all over it. When they ask you what happened, just reply, I thought it was a dirtbike.

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m a 53 year old “stroke survivor” and after stumbling upon 44 teeth I was inspired to buy my first (ever) motorbike - a Fantic Caballero Scrambler 125. I thought I may have bitten off more than I could gobble - but then I found this! Thank you again for your continued inspiration. Good job you had a bloody Double Decker for sustenance!

This is still my fave baron video, I rewatch it every few months or so

[@sickunit2096]

This one is a classic. I’ve had to go back and watch it a few times. Ive found myself on paths/trails like this and felt that same sinking feeling.

[@viscountpasty8124]

Ahhhh. Just come back to watch this again, after all those years, never gets old Chris.......Brilliant mate 👍

[@houldendub]

5 years later, this is still the pinnacle of motovlogs

[@krazyface8488]

How are there 245 dislikes to this video???? Some people have serious problems!!

[@krazyface8488]

I guess. I loved the video because I have on MANY occasions, done something really stupid, knowing it probably wouldn't end well , but let curiosity get the best of me. That's why I enjoyed the video so much, because I can relate to it. LOL

[@Meekerextreme]

I find people don't really understand the Thumbs up or down buttons. They might be giving the thumbs up for all the wrong reasons, and same for the down. For example someone might like a product so they give the video a Thumbs Up, someone else might hate the product and give it a Thumbs Down when the product is not what you as a viewer are reviewing as a rating. You as a viewer are suppose to be rating the VIDEO. Was it informative? Did it help you? Was it well produced? I don't see an issue with the VIDEO here. It's a little long, but not crazy long. I assume the 331 Thumbs Down are for tossing a sportbike on the ground...LOL Again not what the rating system was meant for you to rate. I wish negatives they required input like "I didn't like this video because it was too long" Or the village idiot would say "I didn't like the video because your momma is fat"...and then let you flag those stupid negatives to be removed. I pay little attention to them myself, as I know people have a hard time grasping the concept of the rating system...but then again I'm sure a lot of people are the stars of the Russian driving videos so what do you expect!!!

[@tonythies1827]

I gave him a thumbs down because I couldn't give him a trophy for dumb fuckery. Thumbs down for 12 minutes of stupidity. Although it does take balls to post a video of your complete ignorance.

[@chazphot]

Can't believe this gem is over five years old. I love you Baron, don't ever change.

[@cfcfubar]

I’m rewatching because you just bought this bike back and I must say this is a masterpiece of editing. The music is so tense! Incredible.

[@2500gamma]

The Baron does this, so we don't have to - love this vid!!!

[@my600cc]

Watching this nearly 10 years later is soo funny.

[@twistedlemoen]

You're a legend.

[@nichisjesus]

About 6 years ago, before I had ever even touched a motorcycle, I saw a particular one (either a harley softail or a honda rebel, I couldn't tell the diff at the time) on the road and was hooked, obsessed with obtaining my own bike. A few months later, after becoming aware that there are different types, categories, genres of motorcycles, I became really curious as to how possible it was to take something like a sports bike off-road. I quickly came across this video, which had not been up for long, posted by some British dude with a cool name (I did not yet know that the Brits were much more into bikes than us Americans). I was enthralled by the video and the genuine adventurous spirit that was animated in this video. In a way, this video portrays the adventurous spirit of motorcycling more than any legit off road video. Anyway, I spent the next year watching everything that The Baron put up, simultaneously failing all of my college classes because NOTHING mattered anymore except motorcycles. I spent all the time I should have been spending on studying and homework by scavenging the web for information on bikes in general. How they work, how it is to ride them, how to perform maintenance on them generally, the pitfalls of the various types, and the reputations of each brand. I became as informed as I possible could without ever having touched a bike. Throughout all this I started out wanting a Harley Blackline, because it most closely (or obviously?) resembled the bike that had given me the itch on that fateful day. I then got a chance to sit on one and realized it was not only ungodly expensive, but ENORMOUS and effectively unrideable for someone of my size and experience level. Around this time, the Ninja 300 and CBR250 came out, and I spent considerable time looking at them both, thinking that one of these might be the bike for me. They were both so good, how could they not be? But then I watched a video from Jake the Garden Snake and from his advice, garnered that sport bikes, even in their smaller CC forms, are still fairly specialized and thus restricted, and somehow from there I ended up looking at the also recently released Suzuki TU250 X, affectionately called the "TUX." I also looked at the Savage 650 by proxy, but son dropped the idea after sitting on one. The TUX was THE ONE. It was the bike for me. It was set in STONE. It was cheap, looked ok, fun enough to ride supposedly, and a good jack of all trades. My GF and I took our MSF course, and got our licenses, and I started saving up the cash for a new TUX. And then, one lonely night while looking around on craigslist just entertaining the idea of getting a used bike, I came across a particular bike I had seen outside of an office months before getting my license, but had written off because it was even smaller than the TUX and from some lesser known Taiwanese brand, SYM, whoever that is... It looked so cool still though... Almost a year went by, and I had moved out and had some dough in my pocket. Not enough for a TUX, but enough to lock myself into a downpayment maybe... And then, in another lonely, procrastinating search on Craigslist, I stumbled across the same SYM Wolf. I felt something for it that I couldn't deny. I called up the seller just to chat, and found out that it was actually THE very bike I had seen in person outside of an office forever ago. I felt a connection. The TUX was a great bike, but it could wait. I met up with the lady that owned this awesome little SYM Wolf 150, and we called it a deal. A week later I had a helmet and I took my first venture ever out onto the road on a motorcycle. After a few laps up and down my road, I ended up venturing further and further from home. Four hours later, I was 50 some-odd miles from home, on a bad ass FM road that I previously didn't know existed, looking out from a bridge over a river, smiling with pure joy that I had literally achieved my dream. For the first time in my life, I had achieved a dream, no if's and's or but's. Fast forward 4 years, and I still have that SYM Wolf, plus a 30 year old Honda 450 twin, an even older project bike, and I'm saving up for a 4th bike - this time something more dual sporty. I've gone on several giant trips on each of my 2 main bikes, and motorcycling has consumed every aspect of my life, every fiber of my being. Bikes fucking rule, and if you say otherwise... then hey man, to each his own. Something reminded me of this video recently, and I realized that it now represents a very, very early milestone in what has now become a lifestyle for me, and maybe it's the margarita talking, but I just felt like sharing. Peace brothas and sistas.

[@ABIKETHING]

I watched this video 10 years ago and again today. Still love it

[@portlandrider7966]

Probably one of my all time favorite motovlogs, some seriously funny shit!

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

What in God's name possessed you to do this Baron?! ...I sure am glad you did it.

[@regiondeltas]

Haha, oh man. When I watched this 11 years ago i was only just starting my bike journey. For 10 years now Ive had bikes - done the sports bike thing, but of off roading, adventure etc and this video hits so differently but every bit as hilarious. Ended up on a not that dissimilar lane with my VFR and i was utterly bricking it. Top quality work Baron

[@2WheelTrev]

This was the golden era of motovlogging. I had to go back and rewatch, funny AF.

[@FRFM00]

***** I watch this at least once a month! Love your vids, from Canada! I've rode a Daytona 675 for years! Thank you UK! You're so funny, love the music choice during the excursion lmaaaao wow!

[@krazyface8488]

LMFAOOOO!!!! I just spent the last 12 minutes cracking up laughing so hard!! And it wasn't because I was laughing at you, but because I've been in those situations where you want to do something, but something in your head tells you not to. Then you commit to doing it, and the second after you start, you're kicking yourself in the ass the whole time, screaming and cursing because curiosity got the best of you. Definitely one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time!

[@rjo2020]

Agreed! I'm sure a few of us have "been there, done that" in varied forms. For me, it was taking an unknown mountain track in Slovenia on a Tmax in search of a pretty view of the valley below. Once started on the track it was clear that it was a bad idea. Cracked asphalt turned to gravel, which turned to a rutty dirt path mixed with gravel and sand. Too narrow to turn around, and no clear indication where it actually led. When I ended up on a hiking trail that was heading toward a ledge several thousand feet above the valley I finally summoned the strength to turn that bike around. It was either that, or risk cliff diving. I avoid those off road tracks these days. Until now I was almost certain I was the only nut who tried stuff like that. Thanks for the reassurance that I'm not alone.

you should take a 1299s green laning, it would get you a ton of subscribers

Raymond Thomas It's not only him, few people sometimes get this stupid idea of offroading with a sports bike or sports car, i did the same with my Vrod Muscle and my Mustang, not because i'm rich as i barely could offer it used. but cause i think it will be a good experience which is definitely NOT!

[@Candesce]

Raymond Thomas Don't know if I'd say "ruined". Baron von Grumble can clearly afford to fix his bikes.

[@johnherasimtschuk3713]

[@MegaloGater]

video is old, i know, my first experience in the off-roads was on a muddy track in poland, very very similar to yours. Only was my bike a bit more suited to that environment - Honda Transalp 1996 with Michelin Anakee 3 Tires. Still was excited before and felt exactly like you when i entered the mud. Dropped it twice, almost snapped my ankle once (had the wrong boots), but when i was back home, i was so hooked! Following years i had different tires and more experience and it really grew on me :DD Thanks for the video - even if it is already old - it gave me lots of giggles and nostalgia :D

[@MegaloGater]

Also, the music is just perfect! Very nice :) almost made me re-feel the adrenaline rush that i had :D

This video reminds me of when I took my Ninja 250 off roading. Got it all on video, but it was a hell of an experience. Nowhere near as much mud where I was riding, but lots and lots of loose gravel and dirt. I did eventually get to a stunning part of the island that I have never seen before. And at 6:15 when you mentioned that alone feeling, I was on the most remote road I had ever been on, I know the feels. Only saw one other person on my way out.

Hello Baron! Been watching your channel for about a year now and finally decided to comment! I've been watching all of 44 Teeth from the beginning and had never seen this video until you referenced it in the face reveal interview. This is properly hysterical! I'm sure it was a rather miserable day at the time… Very well done with the music! That's some true talent to just compose all of that out of nothing. Please keep up the great content! Watching it all has been a blast.

[@SpiderRiderAdv]
