But thankfully it's current owner won't, at which point he will stop going on about how great it is. (It is a great bike though, but don't tell him)

[@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 :-)

[@iamandreja]

Great video, Greg, as always. Some people should learn to not do any ADV stuff with 215kg multicylinder bikes :)

[@GregVillalobos]

Big bikes have their place for sure. But I'm not good enough to ride them on any proper dirt.

[@DanielMores]

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

very pleasant to watch, extra

[@Quackelticki]

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!

[@zentaurmotox5997]

Top team guys! really enjoyed your andventure amazing stuff

[@UncleLongbeard]

What a brilliant video. You put a lot of effort to record it. Well, to edit as well. Cheers

[@GregVillalobos]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@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

[@shawngreenwood7825]

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

[@GregVillalobos]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gnarlybadger690]

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.

[@dknudsen89]

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. :)

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!

[@robinwaistell441]

Hi Greg, great film it always makes me homesick when I watch your films from the north of England. I am from Barnard Castle but have lived in the South of Ireland for the last 20 years. The dales and the Lake District are so stunning. Interesting mix of bikes this time, love the AJP well wear as we say here. I would like to see your thoughts on the CB 500 is it an option as an off road mount or is it still too street biased? I ride a BMW F800 GS ADV its a great touring bike but too big and heavy off road. How did Clive rip the sump guard off the Honda ? Good luck stay safe.R

[@clivebarber]

I did it by riding it like an enduro bike! I wheelied across a stream and landed sump first on a pointy rock. No damage to the bike and Rally Raid replaced the sump guard. Top company. I need to upgrade my suspension to the Rally Raid set up to give more ground clearance and stop it from bottoming out.

[@GregVillalobos]

The CB500X is a great bike. I loved mine. People have taken them round the world. They are super reliable. But for the kind of rinding I do I found it was reaching its limits. If you are mostly road and light gravel it's great. If you want to ride more technical stuff you might push it a bit too far.

[@Alienbikers-in-India]

Here, in India is growing quite fast pan India 'Great Indian Trail (GRIT)' - the same thing as TET in Europe. I think there are not many gaps on route left to go all around the country. As much as i red, creators call it scenic route because there are not too difficult, technical parts. Any bike can do it, even Royal Enfield, of course if it will not fell apart. GPX files available on website. I criss-crossed big part of India, I was in places where GRIT goes, it is very scenic.

[@GregVillalobos]

The GRIT sounds amazing!
