Fantastic video mate - you really get a feel for the terrain. Keep them coming!

[@frankiemaserati701]

[@etiennedelcomminette8520]

Tank you Frankie , it's realy good to have your opinion on the difficulty , and your idéa on the transmission ratio ( tipical of trialist ) . I appreciated your sincere impression's of the country you discovered ...

[@frankiemaserati701]

Thank you Etienne! It was a great trip - and thankfully the riding got a bit easier!

[@ownyourworld]

Did that first bit solo on my old gs with metal panniers. Maybe it’s you ?

[@frankiemaserati701]

You're a legend mate 🤣!

[@rosscampbell3061]

Great videos bud, are there plenty hotels on the route? We planning on just winging it and finding hotels on route.

[@frankiemaserati701]

@@rosscampbell3061 we took tents and sleeping bags just in case but never had any issues with finding hotels. This time of year may be a bit harder though, a lot of them close down in the off season.

Great video mate, I’m off doing that northern bit on a CRF300 in 2 weeks time, I’m a bit of a novice but really looking forward to it

[@frankiemaserati701]

@@TwoFourCharlie007 nice one. Just take your time and don’t be afraid to turn round if something looks too sketchy. 👍

[@nigeljacklin4031]

Great video👍🏼 it’s inspired me to try to organise a Northern Spain TET trip with a few mates😊. Safe riding

[@frankiemaserati701]

Do it mate, you'll have the time of your life!

Hi Frank Im heading out to do the Picos in October with a mate, we are on enduro bikes so have a range of about 100ish miles per tank. Was fueling up much of a concern in this area, im thinking about taking a spare fuel bladder but want to keep the weight down, so if its not needed i wont bother. Interested to hear your thoughts mate ?

[@frankiemaserati701]

@@ShaunWS-n6u there’s plenty mate. You may have to plan your fuel stops in advance (depending on your tank sizes), but it really won’t be an issue. We topped up as we went and I think I can remember my fuel light coming on once. Take some spare oil, all our bikes drank a fair bit more than usual for some reason. 🤷‍♂️

[@shaunwightman-smith7660]

Good to know mate, thanks for the reply !

[@TobotronPrime]

That put the 710 in John Deere mode alright! Great to see the TET, I'm planning a ride from UK to Morocco > Tunisia > Italy, route round Europe home, want to do as much TET as sensible, looks legendary! Hope to do it on the RE Himilayan 450.

[@frankiemaserati701]

The TET's a fantastic project mate, you'll love it!

[@Crsf84]

I rode across northern spain last october also and away again in a few weeks, I was one of those idiots on a GS who went for it. Mine is 2 years old a bit rough about the edges now after a few character building offs over the tet. I actually found some of these types of routes ok on the big bus . Bikes aside hands down some of the best riding i’ve ever done.

[@frankiemaserati701]

@@Crsf84 it certainly can be done on a GS. Depends on the rider more than the bike though. Well done for getting round!

[@jeffreyenright3326]

Hi Frank great video. What navigation app did you use to plan and follow the routes? Thanks

[@frankiemaserati701]

I downloaded the gpx files from the TET website, edit them as needed in basecamp, then send them to my Garmin Montana. I also have OsmAnd on my phone as a backup.

Nice film, really doesn’t need the guff muzak. Anyone watching is fine with motor sounds. Honest.

[@frankiemaserati701]

Glad you liked it David, thanks for the comment mate!

[@mike-the-bike]

any idea how long it took from Bilao to santander? as its that route.(doing it in April)

[@frankiemaserati701]

I think it took a couple of days to get round to Santander. That’s probably the toughest part of the loop too!

[@mike-the-bike]
