TET Croatia: Is it hard? My exploraritions on a Yamaha XT660R

[@bruno5fig]

Great Video. Really fun to watch. Please do more, I think you could make a living out of this. I really do.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

I really hope you are right! Do you think shorter videos would be better, though? I am divided between "big" and immersive stories like this or simple, short and segmented situations/instructions. I would love your opinion :)

[@lamapost]

Enjoyed every minute, thanks!!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Glad you enjoyed it! Loved it over there in Croatia!

[@samuelegli1318]

Awesome video, Croatia looks epic! Yes you nailed it.

[@juliak7721]

"It's the commitment!" :) Well said and well done! Parabéns on the 2nd video! Hope to see more adventures (safe one) in the fresh air with useful tips for riding!!!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Next video will be full of useful tips hopefully xD Thank you for your support ^^

[@PKSkristmoor]

And you did it again. I loved it. The editing is really good, and I cannot stop laughing. Already waiting for the next one!

[@cambag77]

7:52 "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??!!" - "Five minutes later..." I lost it. Funny and candid at the same time. Unique among mototravel videos. You seem to have your own thing going. Congratulations and keep it up!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to comment ^^

[@advorlando9855]

Thanks for passing on the lessons learned on this video. Your frustrations because of the mistake was understandable and well BLEEPED out. Beautiful scenery! ADV biking at it's best.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

ahah, thanks man! :D

[@dustyroadsnl]

Very nice video, good editing, funny comments and a cool adventure with the dropping of the bike. Oh and it's a hose clamp.. 😎👍

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Hose clamp!! Thanks xD

[@PKSkristmoor]

So I have been waiting for this part since the 1st one ended. Now I am in trouble cuz it will come out while I ll be working. I will have to take a break just so I am one of the first ones to watch !!! Excited!!!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Keep it this way and you will get the fan-of-the-year award! :D

[@PKSkristmoor]

@@OFFroadOFFcourse :) now that's a goal ! Just keep it interesting and I will be here and so will more people.

[@RadRaven]

Hmmm... Thank you! You just made my point of not camping and not using bikes heavier then 150kg, when off road, much, much stronger!!! Keep up the good work! ; )~

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

The truth you speak, fellow rider xD

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

I like the theoretical concept of camping, but on a motorcycle it just doesnt work as you'd think...especially when you like to ride until you barely have any sun left.. You spend the whole day carrying 10-15kg of tents and camping gadgets and then you have to set the tent in a rush, dont enjoy anything cause it is too late, dont shower and then sleep in "iffy" situations. For some people it is awesome, for others it just doesnt work...for me its 50-50... I want it to be awesome but i am usually disapointed xD Well, it gets the job done and it is cheap ^^

[@joanacarmo2741]

That was A-MA-ZING!!! 👏👏 Congrats!!!

[@Slavkoadv]

Great content, hope there will be more! 😁

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

There MUST be more! Its the commitment :D

[@Slavkoadv]

@@OFFroadOFFcourse I've marked bell notification, now go back to work!😁

[@shalsas]

And You did it again...really nice one and amazing riding shots! ✌️✌️✌️, and what a skill and resorcefullness in fixing "Pronto" (please read it with a Italian accent) your bike! Looking forward and very ansious for the next adventure!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Thank you for the feedback! I am already producing the next ^^

[@johncopetti1253]

Cheers and good job. I love travelling alone but yes, these are the moments that try you, but also are the most rewarding... afterwards..😣

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Adventures and good stories only happen when something somewhere goes wrong :P

[@kallehagstrom-adventuresincl]

Love your humor! Excellent video.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was my second video, so I think I was very lucky it turned out so acceptable :D It aged well too...

[@kallehagstrom-adventuresincl]

@@OFFroadOFFcourse if this was your second video it shows you got talent. Keep up the good work! I am a subscriber now. 😁

[@utoobia6872]

LOL. I ran into your AJP PR7 video and now this one, and love your sense of humor and presentation style. Subscribed.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Hey, thank you! And welcome aboard! I am very proud of 95% of my videos..I recommend you check them all, you won't regret it :D

[@wanionwombat9338]

This made me laugh . . . and cry, because I have been in many similar situations. However, it’s all part of going on an Adventure.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Thank you! I am still proud of this very first video on this channel ^^

[@dannymagee8202]

8:42 - Jubilee clip! Really enjoyed the video and I'm loving your channel. Keep it coming! I have an XT660R as well and have also been in shitty situations on my own in the middle of nowhere with the bike crashed and trashed, but it's always got me back home eventually!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Damn bike never ever let me down. Not ever did the thing even stutter when starting or something like that! ...but i must admit, i think i am ready to move on to the orange side soon :/

[@funisco]

Muito bom! :) Quero mais!! Keep going!

[@johnnylima9632]

Awesome video. Great adventure. Fantastic sense of humour and also a very educational real-world-situation video. Continua com isto amigo. Gostei muinto. Olá da Africa Do Súl👋

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Obrigado Johnny! Por veres e por comentares 😁😁

[@noidea2655]

and that.... that is why I prefer to do these kindof travels only with very light bikes:D

[@camaleaao]

Gosto pois está muito "terra a terra", as sensações da tenda, a estafa da queda da moto, a satisfação de fazer/estar no tet, é isso mesmo uma volta destas. Acho que só falta a interação com os locais que nos traz sempre histórias ricas. Continua Diogo, abraço 🙂✌🏼

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Fernando, já és a 2ª pessoa que recomenda eu ter mais interacção com os locais! Logo, terei com certeza isso em consideração nos próximos videos!... :D

[@Linoldi91]

I did the TET track the same year with the same bike, but i was not allowed to ride through national park (but i paid first then they told me 😀). Very nice video 👍🏻Greetings from Slovenija

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Oh wow! Was it the same national park? This one was Velebit!

[@Linoldi91]

Yes, the same park, i think that they even changed the TET track because of that

[@patrickmaloney6440]

Nailed it!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

I am very proud of that video, although it was my 2nd one :D thanks for the comment ;)

[@Roger_Gustafsson]

You found an outhouse. Very common in Sweden as well. If not too much use the "waste" burns itself mostly. Those old folks knew the tricks. Also now I want to go for an adventure as well. 😢😅😅

[@liber2928]

Essas tendas individuais tipo tropa, got to love them

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

eu não resisto a querer sempre levá-la e usá-la... mas queres sabes qual é a melhor tenda do mundo? È mesmo aquela "Alpernaz" (ou lá como se chama) de 27 euros da decathlon. É que dobradinha no saquinho é so meia duzia de centimetros maior que esta, tem muito menos truque pa montar, e cabem la 2 gajos apertados dentro (ou tu sozinho, á tromba extendida) Esta minitent... epá... eu curto dela, mas é assim um cadinho apertada em todos os sentidos (e eu não sou nenhum minotauro, tenho 1.80 e 75kg) Uma coisa que ela tem de muito bom é que se tiver bom tempo podes dormir sem a cobertura de chuva e entao fica toda em rede! Vês o céu estrelado como se tivesses na rua... por outro lado é exactamente como tar deitado no chão com uma rede a 15cm da cara xD Não posso dizer que recomendo, mas agora que a tenho, é porreirinha e vou usá-la :P

[@liber2928]

@@OFFroadOFFcourse eu sei bem como é, lá no exército a tenda goretex era igual, mal cabia lá com o saco cama. Se fosse um dia daqueles, parecia um hotel 😂😂😂

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Ahahah, but no, I wouldn't be offended at all! I would gladly have accepted any help. before this trip I spend almost 2 years with no motorcycle, so I was kind of rusty... I want to believe that today I would have at least thought of getting the saddle bags out earlier xD

[@nunoskybalsa3620]

Boas Guerra, gostei dos videos, continua que eu aqui em Angola vou seguindo as tuas aventuras, apesar de já não te ver aos anos, o nosso irmão Tiago Lopes vai sempre me informando sobre ti. Um abraço e espero um dia encontrarnos pessoalmente para partilharmos as nossas aventuras. Uma dica para quem faz off-road, quando não conheceres bem os caminhos, esgravata com a moto sempre que virares num cruzamento, assim sabes sempre o caminho de volta para casa e ficas a saber se andas às voltas caso te percas.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Balsa, meu caro, ha quanto tempo!! Obrigado pelo apoio :D Sabes que o Tiago vai ter um Tiaguinho? Eu so fiquei a saber a semana passada!!.. aquele cabeça de alperce esqueceu-se de me dizer...

Hello and greetings from Poland. I recently started watching your videos. plans to switch from a road bike to a dual sport bike. originally I was looking for a Yamaha xt660r but I found an interesting ad with a Yamaha ttr600e. do you have any experience with this bike?

[@ivanvasilev2216]

Looks great, you need crash bars :) how's the motorcycle, is it good to carry passenger? I would like to start travel like you in the near future, except the slope part :d

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

The XT660R is hands-down the best dual-sport for passenger carrying... I don''t know of any other that can do it this well :)

[@JJamJ]

Great vid. I learnt a lot from watching your uploads. I am now thinking after buying a T7 that it maybe too big for this kind of track as I have a bad back should I get in a similar tricky position like yourself. 🤔

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Hey there man! Yeah, unless you always ride with a friend or too, I don't recommend heavy bikes at all!... as a matter of fact, offroading alone is usually a bad idea (but as you can see I do it quite a lot.. it is what it is). The T7 is a great bike, but its still 200kg+, and when the poop hits the fan, thers a lot of it :D

[@juliank9881]

Wow! This looks so different to the TET Croatia track I rode in June 2021. Was the track changed?

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

I have no idea. This is the Northern part. I ended up not doing the northern part, connecting to Bosnia :O

[@villekukkonen8938]

Guite a struggle to get the bike on the road again 😄 What Klim pants you are wearing? Keep up the good work!

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

They are the Mojave model...but I got them like in 2016, so maybe the model is not exactly the same :O

@@OFFroadOFFcourse Thanks for the reply 👍

[@Hellishrider]

Awesome video buddy.. I loved Croatia, the roads, the food, the landscapes, it is indeed a great country for an adventure ride. Damn you got in some serious situation there but you managed to old your self together.. I don´t know if I would be able not to scream like a bitch after watching my bike rolling over the cliff hehehehe

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

it was a very stupid situation... in the video you can't really tell what is the difficulty, but the bike was really stuck. What a pain in the ass :P

[@Dominique_Oliveira]

Estou a adorar. Muitos Parabéns pelos excelentes vídeos. Super divertidos. Vou ficar atento por mais e o canal está subscrito. ;)

Boas Diogo, excelente vídeo...a Croácia é fantástica, estou a pensar voltar lá, tens o track GPS? Dá para fazer de 4x4?

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

O track é o do TET, é so sacar do site (transeurotrail.org). Quanto a dar pa fazer de 4x4...opa, eu acho sinceramente que sim! É facil, poderà é ter uma zona ou outra q ocarro nao cabe (mas acho q nem isso.. É sp a abrir entre o norte da Croacia e Zadar. A segunda metade (Zadar-Bosnia) nao cheguei a tentar

[@GoBlInBrDfRd]

Hi, what fuel tank is that please? Thx

[@joskojankovic9034]

I look and I don't believe it's so complicated for you 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️... one question,from which model is the front suspension? i have xtr and i use it a lot for off road and i would like to improve it a bit

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

Oh it was nasty, man! The ground was clay and grassy (still moist from the morning) and it was very steep. Also, the rear tire was already bust in the middle, so basically a road tire... I know it looks easier though xD Front suspension is WP, from a KTM 450exc 2008, with new springs for the extra weight. With adjustable compression and rebound. Make a hell of a difference.

[@joskojankovic9034]

I believe you ... you can't show on the video how steep it really is ...

[@pfer99]

PQP!! Fiquei aqui com umas comichoes de ver o teu video, ja lá vão uns anos que não sento a bilha numa mota de offroad. Arranjaste um belo tanque de Guerra para te divertires. 😁 Ainda me ri um bocado da tua miseravel experiencia naquele barranco, por tambem ja ter suado do bigode numa situação similar em PT, mas por vezes mais vale sozinho do mal acompanhado. By the way and for fuck sake, you need to improve your profanity range, mate! 😂 Forte abraço e vai dando noticias

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

A malta gosta sempre de ver as desgraças dos outros, ahah xD Espero ter-te inspirado a ir buscar outra moto para offroad :o
