for the love of bikes, if you plan to stay in hotels don't be like the video and add loads of unnecessary bollox to the bike - carry as little as possible and do not fall for the mass marketing machine that says you need everything, carrying camping and cooking gear is insanity unless you are going into the barren, take as little as possible - in modern times if you find you need something you can buy it at most locations

Being Lonely is a Massive negative when travelling alone as i found out when i visited Thailand in 2007 on trip i decided on 3 days prior whilst sitting in an English Pub Beer Garden on my Lunch Break. I had chosen a time when the bulk of tourists there were from China and i was lonely but after 4 days discovered an Irish Pub whos main occupants were American Engineers and to be able to share a chat in our common language REALLY lifted my spirit. up until then my Mum had never had so many phone calls from me 🙂. Loving your work Mr

@@projectbiker on the Norway side you have the breathtaking landscape. It depends on what is more important for you: enjoy beautiful nature and landscape or the best trails for enduro riding? BUT: one of the absolute favorite places in Europe for trail scouting and off-road riding is Bosnia. There you don't need the TET maps, you only set your navigation on B- and C-routes, than you go mostly offroad in Bosnia. otherwise, Bosnia is not in the EU (like Britain :)) so you should have your papers sorted at the border.

[@projectbiker]

Thanks Pi! As I'm a beginner to off-roading I'm thrilled with the bike as it's simple and reliable. It's not the best on highways but it can do 70mph very comfortably for as long as you like, and then once you hit the trails it gets over anything and is fairly easy to move around. I added an airmax seat cushion which helped a lot, and I'm sure a taller windscreen would also be a good addition in the future. I changed the rear suspension as I was travelling with luggage and worried that I'd bottom-out the otherwise (I went with YSS but there are better quality ones out there).

Hello Oz! I ran a high PSI and had no punctures, and the only mechanical was the throttle getting caught on the handguard after the drop - easily fixed. Honestly, you are going to love the transition from road to off-road. Enjoy!

[@Willberight2moro]

@projectbiker I have had multiple off road bikes over the years, including 2 strokes, and I do mountain bike as well. What I haven't done is adventure... I think the Rally is a good choice for solo rides because of weight and ease to work on. I also now live in an area surrounded by trails and beaches, have you tried riding on the beach?

The XR190 looks like a great little bike. You're right - I should lower the pressure more. I didn't at the start as I didn't trust myself to fix a flat tyre, but I've been starting to lower the pressure now I've become more comfortable doing mechanical work on the bike.

It was here that I decided to change my route and head south, so I joined that route from Assietta.

I enjoyed the video, clever editing and a great commentary. Felt like I was on the ride with you. Congratulations!!

[@projectbiker]

Thank you! Glad it felt that way. Much more to come!

The drone footage was quality, great film, was totally drawn in to your journey.

[@projectbiker]

Really pleased to hear it! Hoping to continue improving with each one - the newer Spain trip is out now and currently up to Episode 3. Enjoy!

Well I made myself a coffee and settled down to watch Nick, toe wiggle out of boot ride to Monaco and back....As I said in a previous post, I wished your videos were longer. Nick the movie delivered so much more and I loved the original posts but this just worked on a next level. Please excuse me if you already know, but your filming, music score and narration put me in mind of Adam Reimann.... his KZbin channel of the same name, I encourage you to watch!! Thank you for all your replies to my posts, I am transfixed by your channel.... spectacularly epic!! Thank you again 👍👍👍👍

[@projectbiker]

Thank you again for the kind words. I know Adam Rieman and enjoy his videos a lot! I'm really glad the music and narration were well received, next I'd like to improve the filming...

well its all about the now or never convidence ; love this Video

[@projectbiker]

Absolutely, thank you. Really appreciate it

Absolutely fair play to you mate getting out of your comfort zone. This will literally be me when I get time next year. In the mean time I will be doing a few off-road courses in the UK over the winter and trying to build up my "skills".

[@projectbiker]

Courses are a great idea. You'll feel a lot more comfortable when out there, instead of like me and learning on the trip!

[@simon1290r]

@@projectbiker learning on the job sounds like a better idea to be honest. The money saved on not doing off-road courses can be spent on a Garmin and other things to make my life easier

[@projectbiker]

@@simon1290r If you have the time and money for it, I feel having a course will always be preferable. But if not? Just get out there 😜

I'm not commenting on videos often but I have to comment on that one. Fantastic editing, great music choices, beautiful sceneries. Overall fantastic video. So far I only had road bikes but now I'm in the market for CRF300 Rally. I'm blaming that on you! Tkanks😂

[@projectbiker]

I'll take that blame! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, really appreciate it
