What a cool adventure.

Thanks!

there are a few vloggers who are making Hollywood look plastic and you are among the top ones

[@GregVillalobos]

Best comment so far! Thanks 😁

So true 😊

You seem like a chill and very compatible group. Loved the video, the visials and the story!

We actually met via KZbin. Sort of.

Gracias!

[@shawngreenwood7825]

Great group of guys, I am jealous. Awesome, thanks for sharing this adventure with us.

[@GregVillalobos]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ktmkevin]

Just watched this video for about the 10th time. Just love how real it feels. On the Tube we see videos shot with potatoes, and very cinematic stuff that feels a bit artificial. This video literally portraits what it feels like to be on a trip with your mates and yet has great editing. Love it!

[@GregVillalobos]

Ah thanks Kevin! What a great comment. You've hit the nail on the head - I do my best to try and capture that ride-with-mates vibe :-)

[@ktmkevin]

@@GregVillalobos don't ever stop trying Greg! Can't wait to see new videos later this year when hopefully you've had the chance to go on another couple of trips. If covid allows it, I might even catch the ferry from here to Newcastle and see what the UK TET is like!

[@clivebarber]

@@ktmkevin we're actors and he pays us to pretend to like him. Jokes! Lovely comment Kevin, dead right. You may have watched it more than me!

[@theimaginarygarage]

Really enjoyed that - many thanks for taking the time to put it together. Good group, interesting variety of bikes and showcased the amazing scenery that we have incredibly well. I found it very inspiring and have signed up to my first trail ride since March as a result!

[@clivebarber]

Good man!

[@GregVillalobos]

Yes! Get out there before the weather turns!

[@joaodanunciacaonunes7539]

AMAZING!! INSPIRING!! just watch it 4 times . After this i decided to get a dual bike and get out there!!! thanks Greg. Cheers

[@GregVillalobos]

Ha! Fantastic news. Enjoy :-)

[@skybluetenere]

[@nigelmtb]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that! I'm a new listener of the TAMP too. Great to put faces to Clive and Noel. This trip looked like so much fun. Wonder if I could get my 750GS around something like that?

[@GregVillalobos]

Welcome! Glad you are enjoying the podcast :-)

[@chmo9668]

So great! Too bad it wasn’t in Spain but the UK landscape definitely worth it! That’s a happy and passionate group of friends! Ps: #shootandride it would be great to see a video on how to pack and carry camera gear. Cheers

[@clivebarber]

I'm glad that came across. We didn't stop smiling for the whole 5 days. Such a great little trip.

[@GregVillalobos]

Thanks! I'm on the case. Hopefully this month 🙂

[@stephenparkinson4419]

Absolutely a joy to watch, eating reheated shepherd pie on a rainy lunchtime. I am in Hexham and need an off-road bike with all this on my doorstep! Thanks 👍

[@GregVillalobos]

An adventure bike opens up a world of riding up here.

[@humoto1]

Enjoyed watching it - - well done, Greg! Thanks 4 spring. Best Hubertus

[@GregVillalobos]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DormanDiaries]

Fabulous video Greg, very entertaining. Great advert for Britain and British blokes (if folks don’t mind socks in pants) 😂 Hope the wheelie monster behaved himself. Looking forward to more!👍

[@GregVillalobos]

Glad you enjoyed it. His feet stank.

A great watch I missed you guys 😎

[@GregVillalobos]

Ha! It was good to be out again.

[@paramidge8935]

Fascinating - some of those bikes are porky for some of those trails - great skills and perseverance at the end of the day.

[@GregVillalobos]

Thanks! Summer trails are not too bad on bigger bikes, def harder in the winter when it's wet

[@scottwilson8497]

Fantastic video! Getting ready to film a short one, and this is super inspiring. Can't wait! So many ideas in my head now.. lol

[@GregVillalobos]

Thanks. Have fun!

[@shaunrenwick]

Excellent entertainment as usual and inspiring us all to get out more!

Already replaced by the excellent Rally Raid.

Glad to hear Clive. I've owned the CB500X since it first launched in 2013, done 53000 miles since. Great bike. :)

Well done Greg, great little adventure, Wales next ??....👍

[@clivebarber]

We've had our annual break from the families this year, cancelled trip to Spain next year... Wales in 2022, or maybe Portugal, or the south of France, it's a difficult decision...

[@GregVillalobos]

We shall see. Might be down that way for some other projects soon.

Really enjoyed watching this, I dont live far from Northumberland, will have to check some of those trails out.

[@GregVillalobos]

Have fun!

[@akaTelo]

Great video, awesome trip! I'm pretty shocked and amazed at the state of that bash plate on the 500x. What happened haha

[@clivebarber]

I basically wheelied across a small stream, at about 20 - 30 mph, what I didn't see was that there was a big pointy rock sticking up just were I managed to land. This was what messed up the bash plate. There was zero damage to my bike, other than the thing that was designed to take the force of large pointy rocks. The RR bash plate certainly saved my bike from some very expensive engine damage. It did what it was designed to do. A contributing factor was that I am still running the OEM suspension, which as we all now is closely related to a pogo stick, being used by an elephant. If I had actually got round to fitting the RR rear shock that has been sat in my garage for the last 3 months, I am fairly certain I would have not bottomed out, and not broken the bash plate. So a combination of stupid riding, poor set up and sheer bad luck. (No need to address my weight issues on this pubic forum! I am still convinced RR is the way to go, fantastic products and fantastic service.

[@akaTelo]

@@clivebarber I was hoping for an interesting story but this is next level wow. If I was on the fence about that bash plate before I'm certainly more convinced now haha

Awesome video really enjoyed watching this cheers guys for sharing the adventure :)

Awesome film!!! But did I see it correctly? You are 5 british guys and no one is riding a Triumph? That is a little bit disappointing. Greetings from a german Triumph Tiger rider ;)

[@GregVillalobos]

Ha! If Triumph made a small, lightweight adventure bike then maybe...

[@clivebarber]

Good point! Especially for me as I am from Coventry. My dad lived minutes away from the old factory at Meriden. But Greg is right, their bikes are too heavy for what we do. I would love the New Scrambler though!

Awesome film Greg enjoyed watching so much. We too had to abandon our trip to Spain but managed a long weekend on the Belgian TET returning just before the government slapped a 14 day quarantine on anyone returning from there. How were the Rall Z on the PR7 almost went for them but went with something I knew Tractionator ST's on my 690

[@GregVillalobos]

Hope you had a good time in Belgium. Rall Zs are great, but this time of year you're not really asking them to do much - it's so dry. Will give them some proper test when the weather turns.

[@neilfields5914]

What make was the bash plate that broke on the 500x. Great exhaust though the fuel, they sound great

[@clivebarber]

It is a Rally Raid bash plate. They replaced it immediately, no quibbles. Lesson learned - don't ride a road bike like an enduro bike! I was pretty unlucky, landed right on a very pointy rock. No damage to the bike, so it did it's job.

[@clivebarber]

All my bikes get Fuel exhausts. They just custom made one for my 15 year old 400 exc. Really good people.
