Spain by BMW R1200GS Rallye : Episode 4 - GS off road on the mountain trails

[@jonathandorward]

You did the right thing going where the Sun shines unlike the UK.The views & riding look fantastic !!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

They were!

[@lpete531]

Wow, beautiful scenery. Awesome 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching and for stopping by! All the best - TMF

[@Mark1Spitfire]

TMF having fun and sharing - Thank you

[@benmpearson1]

Blimey, that is epic! Fair play for keeping calm when that big bike was stepping around underneath you.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It helps when it's not your bike! ;0)

[@brianyoung2203]

Looks absolutely great fun.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yeah it was Brian, thoroughly recommended...

[@ThumperXT]

Stunning ride,and good weather. What more do you need in life!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Exactly my thoughts....

[@palantir135]

What a landscape ⛰

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Indeed, gorgeous spot....

[@vonreaper8041]

Fantastic view on a great bike. Congrats on getting to the end without mishap 😀

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you - I'm not at the end quite yet! Stay tuned.....

[@robertburpovsky865]

great video, great comments as well, excellent narration

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you kindly!

[@livelymoto2039]

stunning views easy off-road makes for an amazing day! Can’t wait to ride in Spain

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well it wasn’t thaaat easy ;0)

[@livelymoto2039]

I appreciate that if one is not use to off road. i grew up off-road and enjoy taking my gsa off-road more then pavement. I also took the BMW low speed skills course that was very beneficial. Adds greatly to the enjoyment of the bike

[@cruxc4459]

I'm green with envy. That's what dreams are made of.

[@Kojak-zh7qo]

Absolutely brilliant again mate loving this tour ,stunning views .

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Mark - one more to come! Stay tuned....

[@02bigkev]

What an amazing place to ride, Those views and the track.....awesome. The GS suited that type of track well. Looking forward to the next vid. RSM8

[@pistolpete6321]

Amazing scenery!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sure was - thanks for watching as ever....

[@paulscr]

Looked great fun (and scary!). 6 days until my bobber arrives - although watching this series has me tempted for an adventure.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Take the Bobber on Tour! ..you'll certainly have plenty of fuel stops! ;0) ...enjoy your new bike, not long now...

[@TJ8]

Fab TMF! I've got the Rallye and put some Pirelli Rally STR's on and they are great both on and off road. It now opens up a whole new experience every tour when you can throw trails into the mix and ride traffic free and see sights and views that most won't ever get to see. I knew you would love it! As others have already said, have a bash at the Off Road School in Wales on GS's with Simon Pavey - after that you won't even bat an eyelid when your bike starts going sideways in the mud! Great fun!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching and for stopping by! All the best - TMF

[@continuum.explorer]

"Amazing view of that plain.. Glad to see there's no rain on it" (rim shot!) 🤣 As EVERYONE knows... THAT'S mainly where it'd be falling in SPAIN. The views, the teachable moments, the wittisysms, That's what keeps me coming back for more. I agree with lots of the comments here, especially one that said this looks remarkably like California. (Sierra Nevada mountains where I am) Pretty cool Andy. "I like it A Lot"

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Andy - appreciate the kind comments!

[@spetersonmusic]

Goodness, the views. Wow.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes, pretty special up there eh? Wait until next weeks episode, it gets better yet....

[@earlebacciochi9796]

Well done Flyer & Lyndon. Looked great on video,must have been amazing to be there.that's what I call adventure biking.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes this was proper riding like the GS was invented for - thoroughly enjoyed myself on this one as you saw....

[@MrG61-u9k]

That's the only sun I'm going to see in frost bitten UK today! Stunning ride 🖒

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Tell me about it - zero degrees here at the moment....wish I was back down Andalusia way riding bikes!!

[@tazzzxcsd]

Awesome mate, magnificent scenery, good tracks, scary drop-offs, beautiful weather, great company, it doesn't get much better. well done.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It doesn't indeed - one of those days where it was just good to be alive! Can't wait to go back if Lyndon and crew will have me....

[@ajcj1234]

Amazing trails.. looked like you fun and some scary moments..👍🏻

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sure did!

[@tucker9162]

Those views are stunning, those drops made me wince more than a few times and I'm 1 foot off the ground on the settee!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I tried not to think about those too mush...the GoPro flattens them out too!

[@russelllocke7180]

Great scenery, reminiscent of some of the areas along the Great Dividing Range between NSW & Victoria. Your comments on how beautiful the weather is brings me back down to earth here at home where it too, is quite temperate most of the time, so I won’t take it for granted anymore. Love riding my GS, but my previous 350 & 600 dirt bikes with nobbies would be a lot of fun on those fire roads.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching Russell - and as a brit in a freezing Blighty today (hovering around freezing...but the sun is out at least) then yes do be thankful of your great climate! ....there you go, a whinging pom for you right there....

[@michaelwilliams3861]

Awesome TMF, and great to know all done on road tires, so glad I’ve bought a Rallye.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes it's a lovely machine Micheal congrats - love that paint job too....

[@michaelwilliams3861]

I’ve got the adventure, white and blue paint job

[@tonyjshaw]

Wow scary stuff, very brave to tackle such a trail on a big bike fitted with road tyres - fortunately not a white van in sight. Great vid, thanks!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Tony - was great fun, best not to think about it too much though or I'd remember I'm not brave at all....

[@VeeDubJohn]

Exactly what you said about "drop offs." I don't ride, but I watch a lot of you guys ride along roads with crazy drops offs. I'm sure it looks more scary in real life, but it looks pretty scary on video too. Pretty sure I'd be freaking out! I visited Scotland and rode a horse on a very thin and high trail with a drop off, but I trusted that the horse didn't want to fall either. A bike has on such defense built into it. I give you guys a lot of credit.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers VeeDubJohn - it was scarier than it looks, but then again I am very very brave (yeah right!) ;0) Thanks for watching - TMF

[@micksmith1984]

Brilliant, loved it.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great :0)

[@sunbearavrigian5044]

You had me looking forward to the lunch stop!Guess i'll just have to wait for your next post! Jolly good show brother!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sorry about that, the lunch was worth the wait (as you'll see next Friday!)...

[@albertosbrolla8424]

Now that’s fun riding! Looks like you got up above sea level pretty good!! I’m sure you slept well after that ride!thanks for sharing👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I certainly did :0)

[@criticalcuda]

Love the BMW 1200 GS ,very capable bike on and off road , far better than the Triumph I had before it

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yep, difficult bike to beat as an all rounder in my opinion....

[@leighchapman935]

Yet again, another great video .... love it.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Leigh, very kind of you to take the trouble to say so....

[@leighchapman935]

You, Teapot1 and Richy Vida are my three favorite vloggers . Between the three of you, I now have TOOOOOOO many options for my summer vacation !! After seeing your Toro videos and TP1's trip with Lyndon to Morrocco, I think I will be doing this years vacation with Toro. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos showing us all of the options available. Lovin'it :-)

[@leejones9737]

We are spoiled here in the USA. There are roads like this fire road in Spain all over the place but as time goes on they become harder to access. Environmental concerns seem to push out recreation. In the 1960’s we road our bikes up Pikes Peak on Bar trail and now today I doubt that you could do that. Have fun and stay upright!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching and for stopping by! All the best - TMF

[@buddysinsight9834]

Beautiful and a superb vid to watch

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks matey - and great to hear from you again, it's been a while!

[@jimthompson717]

Jeez I love you videos man. Depending on the time of day, either a coffee or a short scotch, and one of your vids is both relaxing and inspirational. Cheers from West Vancouver Canada.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers!

[@kevinveinot1586]

Another great video I have enjoyed this series thus far although the pangs of jealousy have been hard to take at times! Nice to see you off road, and loving it. Being from Nova Scotia and having countless miles of roads like that to enjoy I sometimes forget not everyone is so lucky....

[@tagevj]

I really enjoy your travels, waiting for the next upload

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good stuff - stay tuned for next Friday's episode!

[@bristol8920]

A bit of a cliffhanger and don't look down moments, some of the scenic views had to be taken in, a mug of tea and a few minutes relaxing, just looking, would be a good chillout time... The bikes sound good and the local wildlife didn't have to run for cover ..thumbs up TMF...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching and for stopping by! All the best - TMF

[@martinberry8546]

you lucky bugger love these vids cheers.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Martin....

[@paullee6663]

This is your best vlog yet in my opinion TMF.... it seems to me you always wanted to take your GS 'Off-road' but your OCD, 'investment', and your own perceived lack of off road experience (and opportunity as it's the UK) prevented you.... Looked to me like you had everything under control and had if not 'the' certainly one of your best biking days ever.Awesome views and scenery......fantastic photography / videography....glad you bought us back down to Earth... "How long till the Lunch stop " Classic... My bet is Toro Adventure will do very well out of your trip!! Looking forward to the Lunch Stop ...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Paul - I think your analysis is spot on, are you a pro psychologist?? ...and lunch was good, you're gonna love next week's final episode of this one...

[@paullee6663]

I think your analysis is spot on, are you a pro psychologist?? Here was I thinking you would never spot it.... oh, just a minute, I'm just about £150k underpaid if that's the case....looking forward to the rest of the trip! TC&RSMF

[@beans4491]

Hi TMF, well I’m kinda tempted now, thanks for the insight on how the Raylle copes with off road. My one actually arrives this Saturday. I’m not surprised how planted the thing is as I give my gsa plenty of beans riding on shingle and seems to be ok. I just love watching the Spain adventure too, I came back from Seville last night to the Beast from the east after a lovely 25c in the sun, also met Richy Vida whilst he was there testing tyres there, Great chap. Class video as always mate, ride safe on those trails.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Beans - I wish I'd gone on that Seville junket now (I turned it down), if only I knew you and Richy were going I'd have come along!!

[@chrisk3488]

I always found it sobering when trail -riding in Spain to reach the top of a mountain pass and find a family with a Ford Focus or Seat Ibiza sat on a tartan blanket having a picnic or BBQ.....

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

:0)

[@elitetileandstone]

Yet another spectacular video by TMF! I'm glad to see you taking the big GS off road. The only issue I would have is dropping off the right side of the mountain. We had some record high temps in the mid 70's on Wednesday, which was a great day for a ride. Now it's back to cold wet rain. Cheers from Philadelphia, Rich

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Mid 70’s sounds good to me!!

[@sunseeker8457]

What I noticed was your confidence in the morning on the 250 when you didn't say much because you were concentrating on riding off road on a flat surface for the first time. Then in the afternoon on the GS with death drops at your side and at every turn, you were back to talking etc. Your confidence was back on track. Well done mate! i have to plan a trip with them this year. But I'll take a lot more underwear with me for the death drops!

[@interestingbiker4368]

Fantastic video!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you - glad you liked it :0)

[@chrisskinner4434]

I even tensed up on the bits where it looked like there was a big drop off, and I'm sat in the kitchen haha

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Think how I felt!

[@jamesgoodwin2450]

You cant beat a bit of “offroad head” bloody good show Mr Flyer

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you James.... ;0)

[@SpikeyOfficial]

Can’t wait for the UK summer to kick in for the two days of the year it actually does.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yeah exactly - this January day was like a really nice Summer day in Blighty.....must get back there next Winter for a top up...

[@HippoDrones]

That was stunning TMF, I have to admit, I was a little nervous just watching with those drops though!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Tell me about it!!

[@supergixxers]

another cracking video mr TMF👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Supergixxers - appreciated...

[@TheSpainy]

Welcome to Andalucia. You should try signing up for the Andalucia Rider next time. About 1700kms in three days. Pretty hardcore but fun and the ladnscapes are stunning.

[@MrSTAdventures]

Have to say I looked away a coupe of times....nervous passenger syndrome. Long day for you and I would think after lunch you was ready for a well earned rest. Cheers TMF 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sure was Shane - thanks for watching as ever! TMF

[@connorjohnson763]

Nice adventure, my dad is planning on getting a gs, his f800gt just dont cut it anymore. He's ridden a one and says its a go anywhere bike. Guess you proved that in this video. Been following the series, looking forward to next one.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Connor - and your dad is correct!

[@robertbates1079]

Why anyone would take their 18k beast off road other than a lane to the campsite baffles me... then again a hire bike... still think you d rather be on a more nimble crf apart from getting up there of course. Another great episode.😎

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Robert - I would indeed love to tackle this on my CRF but I have to say the big ol' beemer just eats this sort of thing for breakfast, very little drama and nice and comfy to boot...

[@stuartlaw313]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIrHYYyrmpWBirM They are built for it. Try Salisbury Plain, loads of different terrain. And the BMW Off Road Skills course is a must for any rider. Another great vlog.

[@FenTour]

Dare not take my GS off road! But a hire bike as you say... :-)

[@jimbradley1960]

Great video TMF... good to see you finally experiencing dirt under the tyres on a GS and doing a great job of it too, especially on those Anakee 3’s. 😉. Just love that type of riding. You’ll have to get down to Australia one day and we’ll get you playing in some nice deep sand as well 👌. Only we’d probably recommend some TKC80’s for that 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It’s certainly on the bucket list Jim - would love to come and see you some day!

[@treegas]

sound well done

[@garyshuttleworth3459]

Stunning views, sounds like you really enjoyed yourself, i have mentioned Spain to you once or twice, next trip Northern Spain maybe, great work as always, thanks for posting the vids

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Not done Northern Spain (yet) but I am eyeing up the Pico's for sure - are you saying it gets better???

[@garyshuttleworth3459]

This year will be my 5th trip to Northern Spain and Portugal, i love the views, roads, people, food etc. Even in summer the traffic is quiet, stay in small places,approx 200 miles a day, don't rush it just enjoy the riding and the incredible scenery, Picos are amazing

[@auscurrymaster]

Really enjoying this series of videos, TMF. Have already contacted Toro Adventures and getting info on possible tours. Sadly no off-road as we will be rider-and-pillion...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great stuff you'll have a brilliant time! I hope you told the guys at Toro Adventure where you heard about them?? Stay tuned for one more episode on Friday.....

[@auscurrymaster]

I certainly did mention that

[@SteveInskip]

Excellent! Loving this series especially the fire roads! Lovely to experience a different type of riding to that available in UK! Beats trudging round Buckinghamshire in deepest Winter eh? :) Looking forward to next weeks instalment.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You're not wrong there! Stay tuned - next week's is a cracker! Cheers - TMF

[@capailldubh]

Retiring in a couple of years, Can't wait.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice one...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice one

[@colinvincent6599]

Away from traffic and people, ideal. Have a craving to ride my mountain bike after watching that. You also came up with a good title for a prog rock album. "Dark side of the hill", I reckon it could work.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...has a familiar ring about it for some floydian reason....

[@GrumpyGarry121]

I’ll be off skiing in another 8 days ⛷ down in Austria a place called zauchensee which is my favourite place....... them fire roads in Spain look great.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I can trump you there, I'm off skiing in 4 days ;0)

[@GrumpyGarry121]

TheMissendenFlyer pffffffff 😶 make a video. I might send you a link to mine. I keep my KZbin videos private but could show you some of my off piste numpty vids.

[@andrewjamesphotography8888]

Fantastic. Oh well off to work late again lol.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sorry about that....

[@ADTT71]

You must have added 10 more years to your life with this ride!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I hope so!

[@mrcintheuk4641]

Spain does have lovely scenery. So what happens if it's wet? Change tyres, different route or different bikes?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I don't think that part of Spain does wet very often - and yes Lyndon has many routes and options up his sleeve!

[@TheHumanHonda]

Looks fantastic! Are you able to post a map of the approx route?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Err, no I don't think I can at this point - sorry about that!

[@gordonLP]

There' one thing missing from those tracks that we have in Blighty, and that's ... burnt out cars and fly tipping 😉The quote "the last thing you want up here is a puncture 🙏" is what I think Harry said when he was doing a similar track (might have been the same one) with a Africa Twin. Cheers Gordon

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

As in Harry Metcalfe?

[@gordonLP]

TheMissendenFlyer I'm not sure, as in Harrys Garage, he was with some colleagues on the new AT, they had a puncture miles (or should that be kilometres) from anywhere and had to leave Harry there whilst the other guy had to go for hours to get it repaired. I seem to remember that there was a fancy restaurant at the end of the trail to recover 😋

[@cctv5277]

That looks an amazing trail! Looks like you’re tackling it well. A couple of ‘whoops’ moments but like you said road tyres. It looks pretty scary on your right hand side if you make a bad error. If I has a GS I’m not sure I’d do off road, purely for the cost of the bike. Nice one mate. Looking forward to episode 4. Cheers

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers - stay tuned Colin!

[@SlashEverythingDentalTech]

Luv it luv it luv it

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great!

[@SwabianBiker]

Thank you for the great video! Which tyres do you prefer?

[@bobatwell7505]

Another belter TMF , rather you than me on those tracks , wonder how big the difference would be with proper off road tyres ? Do you carry a puncture repair kit on the bike ? Chances of getting a puncture must be pretty high . I think all the off roading will improve your bike skills on the road . Not for me tho got enough aches and pains without adding to them 😩 Cheers BOB

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

..yeah my shoulders the next day certainly told me they'd had enough! ...as for punctures etc, no need to worry on these tours, the whole of the Toro Adventure team are there to support you if you have an issue...

[@frankstocker5475]

More an endurance test, do you prefer the Yamaha or even your Honda 250 for these conditions? Rather you than me on a 280Kg BMW. Well done.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well Id love to give it a go on the Honda CRF but whether I'd prefer it I don't know - the GS is very capable off-road....

[@camerongeater5404]

Hello TheMissendenFlyer Cool video as usual, but where's the Sinnis Scrambler been?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It’s doing great (I still have it) - long term review to come!

[@hudsonrilke]

Well done I can see that would get quite addictive. Imagine that track in UK, that would test the skills. Would that not have been more fun on the little Yamaha’s? This has Got to be good for improving riding skills

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I don't know if it would have been more fun - I was keen to try the GS off-road. And yes, defo improves your road riding...

[@Dankeller69]

I like the colour scheme on the GS. Btw what tyres were on the bike they looked like they handled for road tyres.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

They are just the standard OEM tyres that come with the machine - I can't remember what were fitted but they certainly want off-road tyres...

[@stevenhill6214]

I bet you loved every minute of that! Couple of change of underpants moments at 8.30, 11.20 and 20.20 ish? some of those tracks were pretty narrow, particularly with the steep drop on the right, and did Lyndon tell you about the quad bike incident before you started or halfway through?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...funnily enough that was a story when we were half way through....

[@stevenhill6214]

presumably right at the point where people start to get over confident.

[@RutgerSmets]

This is awakening the travel bug inside of me...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good man!

[@whitedrguy6503]

Great scenery, definitely a beautiful part of the world. Can't wait till you go " off road", just been a dirt road so far, but maybe for the Brits this is off road as opposed to trails. Depends on your definition of a road I guess. 😀 Just having a joke.👍👍👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

As far as I’m concerned - this was off-road! Thanks for watching - TMF

[@riveraluciano]

I'm watching in pure envy. We get roads like that just......not with a 1200gs. Someday.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Go for it I say!

[@stevepreston3151]

Another great Video TMF if that has wetted your appetite for the GS Offroad you should try BMW Offroad with Karoo 3 tyres the bike is fantastic, river crossings are great fun even when you fall in as I did last year.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...well everyone needs a swim to cool off eh? ...and yes great fun and nothing to be afraid of, I imagine with Karoo's it would be even better...

[@stevepreston3151]

TheMissendenFlyer The GS is just unbelievable what it will do and where it can go I joined Offroad Skills in Portugal this time last year 6 days of fabulous off road riding the best ever for me, It’s also excellent in Wales you should try it.

[@FenTour]

Wow what you can do on a GS! :-)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...who would have guessed eh? ;0)

[@duncanfraser2390]

Just out of curiosity how much do these guided tours typically cost? Great video as always.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Check out the website for the full details - varies depending how long and what you do from a few £hundred to a few £thousand....

[@johnw2758]

Looks brilliant. Whats the cost etc please

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Check out the website for full details - link in the description....

[@pyrodoll2422]

What sort of altitude did you reach on that trail? Fab as always by the way.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No idea!

[@BK-co9wn]

Great trip & video but why no nobbly tyres on the GS?!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

They're mainly used for road tours currently...think that's why

[@Chris-kh2fm]

Great video and stunning scenery. I couldn't help wondering how long the rear suspension would last if you were to do a bit of off road now and again. Considering it didn't last long just on the road it would probable only last about 5000 miles. BTW I rang Principal Insurance for a quote and the guy didn't know much about you and wasn't aware of the competition. He did take a note but I'm not confident that I've been entered. Looking forward to the next instalment :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I'll forward your comment to my contact at Principal and make sure you're in......(and that that person gets a slap!!)...cheers...TMF

[@Chris-kh2fm]

Thank you :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Hi Chris - here's the response I received fyi "I can confirm that Mr Hugill was entered into the Gran Canaria prize draw when he rang for a quote with ourselves. I can only apologise that he felt that the call handler didn’t know about you."

[@Chris-kh2fm]

Thanks for following that up, I had a good quote BTW.

[@garya3056]

Truly magnificent, TMF! Thanks for sharing this. I think I would prefer the dirt bike with knobby tires and max 250cc for that ride though. Btw, I was always taught for safety reasons to switch off the power before setting the kick stand. I notice you do so after? Cheers and have a great weekend there.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

So I wonder why that's safer then??

[@garya3056]

TheMissendenFlyer I believe it has to do with inadvertent engagement of a gear and/or not watching clutch or throttle if you miss the kickstand first try.

[@user-sv6qq8tp9x]

Cool video dude as always

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Have you had a chance to watch it yet??? ;0)

[@user-sv6qq8tp9x]

TheMissendenFlyer Hahaha just now but I'd wanted to be first

[@itchybeard8779]

Awesome trip i would love it! Some beautiful photographs, can I ask what filter/program you use to make them look so good ?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It's just my iPhone with Snapseed....

[@itchybeard8779]

TheMissendenFlyer wow thanks will try it out👍🏼

[@arthurb8631]

Looks like a long way down if you mess up!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That thought did cross my mind once or twice!

[@114jt]

Heart rate monitor/data would have been an interesting addition to the video 🤣

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes - great idea!

[@GrumpyGarry121]

Jamie Telfer that would give another great dimension to the videos on these kind of trips. A small pulse meter in the bottom corner so we can see the twitchy bum moments 😁 you would be the first TMF....... do it.

[@dnlgrhm]

Nearly as good as being there myself. Many of the still shots are wonderful. I wish you would make them available to download.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Maybe I should make a TMF calendar using my iPhone snaps!!

[@dnlgrhm]

Why not both? I was thinking of desktop background for my laptop and phone.

[@tazzzxcsd]

I'll drink to that, good idea Daniel

[@iand46]

Want a still shot? Just take a screenshot & edit

[@Cturner2256]

Hello, Mr. Flyer - can you tell me what microphone you use? Your audio is great... I've gone through three mics, and all are terrible. Thanks!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Just a cheapo Lavalier mic - check the links in my description...

[@Cturner2256]

Got it - thanks... will take a look.

[@Cturner2256]

Ha! Just took another look at my mic, and it's the exact same model. I guess it's an issue w/my camera, in that my audio is always junk. Get a scratchy quality when I get above 30-40mph. Even though I have it plugged into my camera (Sony FDR X3000), I'm wondering if the mic input at the front is picking up wind noise... thanks again - and love your vids!

[@palantir135]

Normaly at home you would not even try it I guess but now easy peasy.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well the thing is at home (a) there aren't any trails like that and (b) it's usually so darned muddy!

[@Leroyjenkinsjnr]

Just out of interest TMF, as your ‘road’ GS had only done 19k or so when the rear shock went, how happy would you be using yours off road regularly?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I would be fine with regard tot he shock - I wouldn't be happy riding it off-road regularly though for fear of dropping it....

[@HepcatHarley]

You'd certainly want your suspension right, one wrong pothole one wrong bounce and weeeeeeeeee down the hill without lunch :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Indeed - no room for errors up there!

[@iainamurray]

Although plenty of opportunity to make more room for lunch *parp*

[@brahnseer3512]

It would be interesting if you would relate your speed and gear you were in on these off road sections. It would give us non off readers a bit more of the flavour of how to ride and enhance the experience which is not possible from simply a camera perspective. Cani ask you to have another look at the font you use when giving post production information. It is a bit difficult to read sometimes. Thank you.

I have a question for your next live stream. Do you own or have you ever held a fidget spinner. I never tried one I don’t know why, they never came my way. I saw one on holiday from a looky looky person but never picked it up.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No idea what one is even!!

New pair of pants required after that mud patch!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Real off roaders don't wear pants!

[@cidermonk3y]

That adds a whole new dimension to this video

No rain on the plain. I see what you did there. 😂
