On the hottest day of 2023 my BMW F800ST broke down as I headed back to rural \Warwickshire from deepest Devon. I was on the A31 in the middle of The New Forest. I sat waiting for the AA (they didn't turn up, and after 7 hours I had to arrange recovery myself at a cost of £600). While waiting a lady motorcyclist stopped as she had noticed me there twice when passing, and after a brief chat she went and fetched me water, food, and a few sweets! She refused to accept a single penny. This is a great example of what generally makes being 'a biker' so special. Never got this ladies name, but if she is reading this, "you are an angel".

Honestly Saffy, you're on the road to becoming a legend. Every other Moto adventurer riding off tarmac wimps out and gets a adventure bike with big knobby tires. That's not to mention that most people heading to a ski area chose the less challenging option of bringing skis or snowboards 😂. I was starting to imagine some new extreme challenges like riding rocket to the summit of Mt Everest, or traversing the Amazon jungles, or racing the Dakar rally, but then remembered. No, these are Saffy's adventures. What ever adventure you chance upon next will never fail to entertain & amaze. Thank you Saffy for taking us along. 😊

@Saffy Sprocket it is true 👍 I've been in some of the worst weather and was bone dry and warm after hours of riding, felt fresh when getting off the bike, makes a massive difference in how you feel, look at getting yourself a maplefire or jetboil, coming from the military and using mess tins and the pain of heating water and food, they make cooking easier and quicker when camping.

@Saffy Sprocket also, if you ever come across obstacles on trails that are just a little too big to roll over, look round for loose branches or stones to help the wheel roll over it. Pick up a hand chain saw for your tool roll ideal for clearing small branches blocking trails it has the added benefit of warming you up. You do carry a puncture kit?

Good choice by not being the first motorcyclist to ride down a sky slope. Now to wait and see if boulder or leg win in getting back to the road.

Haha, you were quite lucky with that logging road not to meet an angry forester, hunter or hiker. Normally those are absolutely totally 100% off limlts for motorized private traffic, by law in Germanyy. When mountainbikes came up there was even an idiotic discussion if those might use them. You might however have the advantage of being a charming woman on a road bike that just got lost and the guy shouting at you is your hero for saving you. If you are a good actor and can produce a few tears of desperation then everything will be fine. Doesn’t work for old grumpy guys like me! 🤣 Those road are not that bad at once you learn the basic skills and differences to riding on tarmac. Here i Sweden we have tens of thousands of kilometers of unpaved roads and it‘s those bringing you to the nicest (tent) spots. My local BMW club offers „off pavement“ training for all kinds of bikes, not sure if you can find a similar training in the UK. Just be careful with those gras strips in the middle, they can be much more slippy than the two tire tracks, covered in gravel and sand!
