Terrifying moment I fell asleep riding while racing for 40 hours straight

[@AdamForeman]

I have to say that travelling with your husband and best friend Anika is the best way to enjoy adventure biking. To be able to enjoy the scenery, the roads, dinner and sleeping in tents etc is so rewarding and heart warming it makes something that's quite exhausting, thrilling fun and exciting! It's the reason why I feel so sad for Noraly and Kinga riding on their own and not enjoying their adventures with someone special. ❤

Amazing video. The ride looked amazing. And Anika, always a joy to see.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw yey thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoy seeing Anika also, she is a blast to be around - plenty more adventures with her to come wooo!

[@paul.vanhout57]

Great series and wonderful promotion for the capabilities of the Pan America. Challenging event with spectacular views and route👍.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it

[@kpaisan-m4h]

Beautiful Italia! Great video!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks for watching!

[@brucestevenson8797]

What incredible scenery and amazing tracks as well. Thanks for sharing with this ride.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh it was ace, so much variety! No worries, thanks for watching!

[@anthonystevens8683]

Very well done team! This really is quite an achievement I take my hat off to you all. I take an extra hat off to Anika for some great footage and hopefully didn't suffer baboon bum on the Honda. This was brilliant. After just watching this video I have an odd longing for sleep. Many thanks for sharing.

[@stuartrobson5265]

Wow I'm so jealous...amazing views and roads, and a mixture of terrain...stay safe all...🙂

[@TheGirlOnABike]

It was such an ace time! Woo thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it

[@mikep.9371]

Glad you got to take a relaxing two night ride with hubby and friend. Cannot wait to watch your other relaxing fourteen day ride also .... hehehehe

[@TheGirlOnABike]

🤣 love it! Thanks for your support

[@JEmmertz]

Well done all of you! ⭐⭐⭐ Seems you work very well as a team also - which is a certain plus in conditions like this.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

[@petejmartin]

Bloody great! Thank girls! (And hubby) Kiwi Pete

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Hehe glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching

Not sure how many can understand the stress from not sleeping for long hours and then riding. When I was younger I worked 2 - 30 hour shifts then at 7:30 a.m. rode home ( only 40 miles) but halfway I fell asleep, luckilly falling over, the motion woke me up and I managed to keep my bike verticle. The main problem was I had amnesia when I came to and had to ride about 20 miles to figure out where I was, where I was going....strange occurance i dont care to revisit.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh wow that sounds like quite an ordeal, super glad to hear you are ok though and didnt hit the tarmac!

[@michaeldinwiddy4864]

Hi Vanessa, really enjoyed watching the three of you do the Alps... I own Custard now. 🙂 may catch up with you guys at the ABR festival if I can fit it in... Oh and I found a little stone from your journey hidden in the bike. 🙂 Will follow on FB too.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I really hope you are able to ride custard out to ABR, super excited to put that sticker and signature on it hehe.. I hope you kept the pebble 😉

[@enduromotorradtouren]

I'd love to ride there early in the morning. And in the evening twilight. But during the night? Not for me. Can't enjoy the scenery. But you all seem to have fun! That's what counts. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg

[@TheGirlOnABike]

It is a very different sensation riding at night, you still get some scenery but just a very different view of it to what you would in the day time!

[@Drive_Camp_Ride]

INSANE !!! I love it and extremely impressed.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Woo thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@zweispurmopped]

Being able to fall asleep everywhere is a skill of its own. 😊 A one I don't poses which has its pros and cons. I guess if you two Emmas had been along, this would have been your best ever besties outing, right? 🤗

[@TheGirlOnABike]

😅😅

[@BMWGSAdventuring]

[@knuckles-3386]

Ask any truck driver what its like to drive on very little sleep. I used to drive coast to coast in 3 days

[@TheGirlOnABike]

did the haribo eggs get you through also hehe

[@user-woolfallD]

Am in enjoying it love ❤️

[@TheGirlOnABike]

yey super glad, thanks for watching

[@mabecka]

What bike is Anika riding? Seems much better suited för the task at hand!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

She was on my CRF450RX rally bike, some parts were definitely more suited to that bike but the road parts were a little tiresome on her bottom haha 🙈 don't tell her i said that hehe

[@mabecka]

@@TheGirlOnABike nice bike!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks!

[@nasirbasra]

36 hr complete in 40hr ,, achievement 🎉 😊

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Hehe well in the extreme category we had 40 hours so we nailed it, woo 💪

[@user-woolfallD]

Great see u on the T.v KZbin I see how diver 😅

[@TheGirlOnABike]

hehe wooo!

[@Tolandur]

what is the total cost of somthing like this ? the entry fee to the rally is one thing but then there is getting the bike there and back, hotels, food, fuel and so forth

[@TheGirlOnABike]

that is very dependant on where you will be travelling from, if from the UK it is not overly expensive at all, a few tanks of fuel to drive the car and trailer down there, the ferry crossing cost and one nights accomodation, it is a great event being so close to the UK

[@acp2446]

Good thing I stumbled on your videos as I will normally do the extreme next year ! Out of curiosity, what temperature of sleeping bag did you guys go for ? I can’t decide which one to pack 😊

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I'd recommend one for the cold!! It was pretty chilly at night in the mountains. You're going to have an awesome time

[@greglarkins1403]

Sorry to ask do you have the Cardo link please

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Sorry for the slow reply, you can find all my discount codes including cardo here thegirlonabike.com/discounts/

[@steveoffield1878]

Really you trust the PanAm?? i have a PanAm 22 plate... i do not trust that bike... starting issues, ride mode errors. an hour ride from my home and i get serious anxiety.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yikes. I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah I haven't had any issues with the Pan thankfully. I've probably done about 6000km

[@hughmac7423]

Great video, but I would rather ride at my own pace than be pushed, then I am 60 and did all of my silly riding in my 20's to 40's :)

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Hehe that's fair

[@awannagannaful]

19:45 holy cow you are in Piedmont, one of the culinary capitals of Italy, and couldn't find anything better than pringles, packet cheese and chorizo which is not even Italian??? that's a bit sad. Any local town would have had fresh local produce to die for. Other than that.... love the vids ;

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Haha we were racing so no time for luxuries! 😎
