[@Adrian-uq9mq]

gate gate fall over gate gate fall over, i can only imagine the big grins under them helmets looked great fun.

[@dietzness]

Lots of gates and horizontal bikes. Love it!

[@davidfirth6535]

Damn them UK GATES!!! great vid.

[@osimnod]

Great editing --- lots of gates and surprisingly rocky tracks. Beautiful countryside and friendly locals.

[@stuartcmorrison]

Thank you. I watch loads of videos showing fantastic scenery all over the world and you have reminded me that my own country is also beautiful. Great film 👍

[@twopoke]

Great video lads, fantastic trails. Keep filming...... Keep riding!

[@davemould5868]

Strata Florida towards the end, swamped my bike and left it there, as the van was in Pontrhyfendgaid. Rescued by some lads on KTM’s who gave me a backie to the van. Then drove to the other end of Strata Florida trail to recover the bike,😂😂great video.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Respect for proving it can be done on large adventure bikes, while at the same time demonstrating why its not the most sensable option .

[@JolanNC29]

Haha great comment! (And true)

[@africarie]

Wow, net een XT660ZA in mijn bezit maar dit lijkt me wat heftig om mee te beginnen volgend motorseizoen. Goed gefilmd en leuk! 👍

[@tshansen]

Great movie guys :-D Great edit and looked like fun. Can't wait to drive the TET UK myself... Cheers from Norway

[@OllyHitchen]

Really enjoyed that film, thanks! Looks like you had a great trip!

[@malcolmnuttall3165]

A lot of tough tracks you took, it tiring riding over loose rocks, the old 600 Belgarda with kickstart, they were damn good bikes.

[@stemoonie4136]

Fantastic vid guys. Made me laugh. Well done.

[@OGTylerP]

great video.. wish all videos of the tet/tat were this entertaining and well edited..

That was excellent!, great riding and filming...cool soundtrack too!. Some of the rocky sections were pretty tough...but the Tenere crashes well! Cheers, Steve

Sometimes I even think they like to crash, it happens so often :)

All theses gates ahah ^^ fun and hard trails !

[@atprodT700]

hello great off road traces, nice video I did the transeurotrail parts 9 and 6 from west to east alone, there are sometimes difficult passages made with a T 700 Teneré. See you soon

[@553392]

Dit ziet er zo tof uit, kan niet wachten tot ik mijn XT660Z zulke trails kan rijden! Heb hem net een paar maandjes dus word nog effe oefenen.

[@JolanNC29]

Ziet er uit als een pittige maar mooie route, de 660 heeft er in ieder geval goed van langs gekregen.

[@alonsocabezon1]

nice!

well done guys! So difficult level UK TET, right?

[@outlaw6660]

What a great Tour! Thank you for sharing it! can you tell me what windscreen would be on the TT ? looks interested , iàm look for something like these for my TT.

[@beardedbaldbikers4634]

Really excellent video. Looked like major fun. Were there a lot of gates?

[@JolanNC29]

Yeah there where, but that's only a minor downside to all the country beauty!

[@vitharod5277]

Mooi clipje, komt dat ik Dire Straits hoor dus dan heb je al een 'duimpje' binnen gehengeld ;) Onmogelijk om die gasten niet te waarderen als je van gemotoriseerde fietsen houdt. Geloof dat wij ooit contact hebben gehad over een eventuele overname van jouw 660 rally via ARM, toen vertelde je over de Yamaha en de mods. Mooi apparaat. Enfin, lekker bezig!

[@JolanNC29]

Dire Straits altijd lekker! De 660 is van een vriend, rij zelf op de TTR. Inmiddels heeft hij de 660 ingewisseld voor een Husky 701, mooi apparaat en een stuk lichter. Hoe bevalt de 640?

[@vitharod5277]

@@JolanNC29 TTR en 701 Enduro zijn mooie fietsen, die laatste lag boven mijn budget maar ben ook fan van de 640. Kick is geniaal en het is gewoon een sexy apparaat om te zien. Neem ik de trillingen voor lief. 660 Rally Replica's zijn super gaaf maar onbetaalbaar. Heb je al veel TET gereden?

[@JolanNC29]

@Vithar Od Nog niet helaas, dit jaar staat Sardinië op de planning. Jij al wat ervaring met de TET? Ik zag dat je Frankrijk had aangedaan, hoe was dat?

[@debaron]

Toffe beelden! Ik ben van plan om dit jaar ook een deel van de TET UK te gaan rijden. Welke delen zou je (niet) aanraden?

[@Braapncamp]

Great advride guys! Would love to do TET UK, what part of UK is this?

[@JolanNC29]

Hi Mattias. We rode the northern (lake district, yorkshire dales, peak district and wales). We skipped the south because we ran out of time. Have a great ride!

[@Braapncamp]

Martijn Thanks!

What about head light, do you use a special bulb or the original. Thank you

[@JolanNC29]

I had to look it up, but i bought a Philips H4 X-tremevision, still working after 20k and much better light. Original fitting.

[@charliem5332]

Great video. Looks like an excellent route. I have a 660z also. Is it a difficult bike to do a TET on? I see you have soft panniers. Do you think it would be unwise to do that route with hard panniers? Would love to try the TET maybe next year.

[@JolanNC29]

The right bike is always difficult to answer. It depends on your skill, if your new to riding offroad, a lighter bike will be easier and more enjoyable. But I have seen people on KZbin doing the most insane stuff on big GS and KTM's as well. With our amateur skill level the 660 is perfect for 90% of the route in England, I can't speak for other parts in Europe. Some small sections we skipped or detoured because of the difficulty. I do recommend going with someone else. About the luggage...we "like" crashing as you can see,. As a result I like soft panniers because they take the impact better and are less likely to be destroyed in a fall and are more easy to repair if necessary. But everything is possible with the right mindset and expectations.

[@charliem5332]

Martijn My experience is very limited and I appreciate your advice. Thanks very much. I look forward to seeing the next travel video.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Great vid, I love your humour. How many days did this journey take you? all of the TET UK? Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter

[@JolanNC29]

Hi, If I recall correctly we did it in 10 days. Only the north and Wales. We skipped the south because of time constrains. Have a nice ride!

[@enduromotorradtouren]

@@JolanNC29 Yes, thanks, TET UK looks absolutely amazing. What a tempting ride - after Corona. It'll take more than one holiday it seems. Cheerio, Günter

[@JolanNC29]

Hi Gilbert, we rode the northern (lake district, yorkshire dales, peak district and wales). We skipped the south because we ran out of time. Have a great ride!

[@playsatan2]

I see you replaced the forks and wheels on the XT660z. Could you please advise what donor bike you took them from, what was involved with the conversion and was it worth it for the performance gains. Excellent video BTW. Thanks.

[@JolanNC29]

Hi, it's not my bike but the forks are from a KTM 640 ADV. There was quite a weigh saving and the fork was adjustable. It was quite a pain to install. I remember that he would not do it again as it remains a relative heavy bike. If you are planning to keep the bike for a long period of time it might be worth the hassle.

[@playsatan2]

@@JolanNC29 Many thanks. Weight saving was my main motivation but better adjustability would be nice also. I'll do some research into parts availability and price.

[@Alex-zd9yf]

Hello, I am the owner of an xt660z, and as we all know the suspension is not good, I am thinking of changing forks and I would like to ask you several questions, could you tell me which bike the fork and seatposts come from? Have you had any problem mounting them? Is the new geometry of the bike okay? Thanks for your attention!

[@frankdomhof9653]

Hallo Martijn. Prachtige beelden. Kun je aangeven hoeveel procent asfalt is van het stuk dat jullie gereden hebben? Bij voorbaat dank voor je reactie. Met vriendelijke groet, Frank

[@JolanNC29]

Hoi Frank, dank voor je reactie. Ik schat in rond de 50%, geen lange trajecten asfalt maar veel korte stukken offroad afgewisseld met korte verbindingswegen. Veel plezier!

[@giovannitaiuti1805]

which kind of back luggage you used? Brand?

[@motenai343]

Road trip très sympa! Par contre, ce sont des fétichistes des portails non???

[@JolanNC29]

I must say, so many gates with a kickstart bike is not recommended :-P

[@cgmtv]

Nice video. How much of it did you do?

[@JolanNC29]

We did about 2/3 of the route. Mainly the north (Lake district) and west (Wales). Sometimes we skipped small sections because of the weather or difficulity. Apart from the many fences its really a nice route!

[@leesample9606]

fucking hell thats gnarly off road haha

[@Proof.Of.Groove]

Dit ziet er fantastisch uit! In welke omgeving is dit en moest je toestemming hebben voor de routes die je nam (hekken openen etc.) of loopt dat allemaal wel los? Toffe video!

[@JolanNC29]

Hi David, dank, het was een mooie trip! Geen toestemming nodig, de TET is juist bedoeld om volledig over legale paden te rijden. Het is wel de bedoeling om de hekken weer (goed) dicht te doen.

[@JolanNC29]

Lake District, Yorkshire dales, Peak district en Wales, we hadden helaas geen tijd meer om de zuidelijke route te rijden. Als je gaat, veel plezier!

[@stefgav]

What tires are you running mate?

[@JolanNC29]

TTR was running T63, not available anymore, XT660 was on Heidenau's I think, he regretted it as the tyre was too road orientated for the tracks we rode

[@speeddream]

Womderfull trawel

[@DragosRDS]

Super cool video. I noticed that you had on the TTR a gps. How did you power it? Do you have a 12V socket? How is it connected since you don't have a batery. Many thanks

[@JolanNC29]

I installed a small fuse kit (with relay) from Eastern Beaver www.easternbeaver.com/ behind the head light to switch two 12V sockets. I use the light switch to switch the relay. I always start without light the get the best spark for starting.

[@DragosRDS]

@@JolanNC29 Thnak you sir. Could you please give me a direct link to that small fuse kit, I have trouble finding it. By the way, I purchased the windshield you recomended and I am super happy. Thank you
