Riding in New Zealand with my Leatt team mate Kinga

Leatt adventure rider Kinga Tanajewska brought her travels to New Zealand and came by my home in the Coromandel. I got some lessons on the influencer game whilst showing her some of our local roads and scenery. It was a pleasure showing her around and having her stay with my family. Big energy and good times!
I’m on my KTM 1290 Super Adventure R running Mitas E12 and E13

"I don't want to be an influencer!" 😆 Chris, could you look any more awkward doing the promotional stuff but good on you putting up with it. I love the comment "you look like someone who knows how to ride an adventure bike" 😄 I gave that riding position a go today on my ride through fire trails and definitely felt the difference. Thanks for always being so generous in sharing your vast experience.

"no, that's bullshit..." Pure comedy gold! Loved this...

[@ecalzo]

Top instructions here in about riding position in just less time showing how to do it ... Weeeelll done !! wow thanks

[@greatfallskam]

Thank you Leatt. Keep the technical well ventilated hot weather adventure riding gear coming. Love some of your innovative products.

[@fox111qc]

Chris is a no bullshit man and not an influencer. I love your introvert style.

[@motorcyclingTo]

Thank you for the positioning tip Chris!

[@georgeferguson9779]

Wow! Never expected to see these two very different personalities together. It was good though! Thanks for the riding posture lesson.

She rides bloody well bro no doubt your passing on some of ya big bag of tricks too great vid mate cheers

[@ljuborajictt]

Hey cool 😜👍 great video and great driving. Big greetings from Germany

[@peterdawson7775]

That is a good ride up to the top of the peninsular , thanks for the standing tip🎉

[@misfitfarm1937]

As always you are the gentleman on camera, I don’t know maybe your the opposite off. Lmao. But she would drive me nuts being so hyper. You are giving her lessons and she is being silly. People across the world would love to have a lesson from you and get to ride solo with you. She is about the look at me and your about the ride. Good luck.

[@donewhiskey]

Kinga has a completely different audience and apparently, you aren't it. I watched her video of this Leatt promotional event, for the other perspective. Kinga's editing shows Chris to be a skilled motorcyclist and a confident rider. Chris' editing shows her to be be high energy and silly. Obviously, they felt very differently about their interaction. Kinga also included the camera crew in a lot of her video and treated them like people. You get a much better take of their trip, in her video.

Nailed it.

@@donewhiskey But did Chris edit this or was this edited by LEATT?

[@maximusmiles8435]

@@donewhiskey After reading your post I went back and watched her edit. This one comes off as a bit passive aggressive.

[@axamitidynamit8355]

That’s just the way she is, a big baby. Like it or not, she’s quite often the personification of cringe, acting like a child, hopping around, talking childish, etc. I too would go mental after an hour around her. But hey, she’s living her best life so maybe that’s the way to go…

Great Kinga 💪🏼👊🏼👌🏼👍🏼🤩

Love when CB drops some Science on us!!

Awesome 🙂

I love Chris review. The gear is good. Let's go home.

[@JakeyJay26]

Hi Chris, always love your vids and know you have a business to run but a small 20% discount on your courses would work for me. I’ve been waiting a while since missing the spinning wheel discount previously offered. Let me know and I’m subscribed. Regardless, I’m always promoting your content, which is likely the best available.

[@renboi]

awesome collaboration

[@Yangvar]

Cant wait to meet both of you at the ABR festival!

[@murraybown2502]

I'll be happy to meet only one of them, you know the one that can ride.....well.

Bloody hooligan 💯👌🏻👍🏼

[@christopher54179]

Would love a more in depth review of the new gear,pockets,material, water proof etc.and what knee braces you wear. Yes I am now more conscious of my standing stance. Thanks

[@silveriojohan]

Thank you Chris, I keep forgetting my technique every time I hit off orad 😂😂😂

[@mikescott9213]

That 1290 is sharp looking

[@baxabuxa17]

Chris, what's your favorite KTM model...?

[@strangecustoms8486]

His wife obviously lol.

[@michaelsupple6081]

When I try to imagine good technique and posture on a motorcycle I look no further than Chis Birch.

[@godfrois2408]

that went well

[@strangecustoms8486]

That looks like a handful lol my mother is Polish too emigrated here in her teens. When you live on the Coromandel why would you want to go any where else. 😁🇬🇸👍

[@sjbechet1111]

OK - I'll bite. Because it's 87km of sealed roads before you even see the 23km (30 minutes) of gravel from Otautu Bay to Port Jackson. In holidays/weekends/good weather it's heaving with ice cream lickers, campervans and boat traliers . Add 130km / 2 hours of tar seal each way if you come from Auckland.

[@strangecustoms8486]

@@sjbechet1111 ah ha so theres the problem you come from Auckland explains it all. We love our coro best riding area in the world.

[@sjbechet1111]

@@strangecustoms8486 No I don't - I live on the Firth of Thames so that explains nothing. Coro is OK but it's a long way from the best in NZ or the world, certainly not worth 2-4 hours of tar seal for 55 minutes of gravel.

[@bertraminc9412]

What a beautiful women to ride with. Lucky guy again!

In Chris Birch, We Trust!

[@nevadahardenduro]

One of the best parts of getting older, is learning how to listen and accept constructive criticism. When you learn this simple lesson in life, the amount of growth you can achieve is astounding. I hope you read this Kinga…..as it is very clear in this video, you are blowing an opportunity that most of us would, and do pay hard earned money for by learning from one of the best to ever saddle a cycle. You’re the man Birchy. Way to deal.

Meeting Kinga was a great experience, she stayed at our house and was a great guest, fitting in with our family almost instantly. We definitely have different styles but that’s what the world needs!

Chris you did great. I stopped following her years ago because she’s an immature overt attention seeker. Seems like no change.

Shame that the woman is a bit annoying. Great video

[@user-tx1pd5qz5z]

So awkward

[@dusdroadadventures7978]

Chris is humble to his core. Seemed uncomfortable as most men when a stranger touches us. Cool video promoting Leatt gear. I do truly hope Leatt has worked on their water backs. 80$ for a leaking plastic tasting waste of Money. The store wouldn’t return because I used it. Imagine that I filled with water because of this it was used. Do better
