Nicely explained! The hill climbs in the video, is that Spaarnwoude? And are you still riding?
Thanks! The climbs are in Belgium in a small quarry just over the border. I'm not sure if it is still accessible, but it's a nice spot. Definitely still riding. I'm doing several OTR's on this bike this season, working on a video about it too. Next one is OTR Hengelo. Hard work, but super fun. You have a 250L too?
@FineLine-Media Yes, sold the 200kg bike and found me a CRF300 too. Loving it so far, playfull and fun! Love to go on a CRF rideout or camping weekend, but got no facebook or so.
Gday & hello from Queensland🇦🇺 Just noticed your rack, with hand grips, can you advise make and price? Cheers, martin
Hi, there is an Amazon link in the video description. It’s not a specific brand as fas as I know, price is something like $80. I love this rack, makes picking the bike up a lot easier.👍
Adding a 300l too my barn and channel. Nice mods liked and subscribed.
Thanks!🙏 You’ll love it, very capable little bike. All the mods in this video are great, the only thing I wouldn’t advice anymore is the sturdier gear shifter. As others have mentioned in this comment section, a softer one is likely to do less harm in case of a crash. Enjoy the bike!
nice
$500- +. Not me.
I had been planning to buy a Rally-300 for a long time and I came across some interesting information. (ASLAN From iran)
Hi It was interesting to me that I went and liked it at the 20th second of your video. ✔️👍🏾🎥✨👏🏾
Thanks man, means a lot to me!🙏
Dropped it so many times love that bike. Edit i run 13 44 its a beast in the trails
Haha me too, on both accounts😉 I was thinking of gearing up more, something like 13-43 or 14-45. Do you get a lot of chain wear in the swing arm with the smaller front sprocket? I heard this mentioned quite a few times. I’m doing some enduro events with big ruts in tight single tracks so the more the torque is down low, the better. 2nd gear still feels quite boggy with my current gearing (14-43). Thanks man!
@@FineLine-Media I do not still haven't worn through the chain slides 5k miles
@@BlueSquatchproductions great, think I’ll install a smaller front sprocket then, see how it feels. Appreciate it!
@@FineLine-Media you'll love it
@@BlueSquatchproductions hey man, just wanted to let you know I switched to 13-43 and I love it! Perfect for trail riding👌
How was the Tower without Windshield in your way home? I don’t want to buy the big rally not only because of weight but because of the Windshield. I am used to get wind on my chest because I drive a Naked bike and an hour and a half in highway speed is not a problem at all. But 15 minutes on the highway with the rally was a pain in the ass with the wind on my face, I seriously hated that. I need led light to be able to drive 80 miles per hour at night but I don’t know how can be that without Windshield Thnx for your answer
I don't know, I loaded it in my van to drive home so haven't made any road or highway miles with it like this. If it's just about lighting there are probably more affordable solutions though. I've seen a lot of folks mounting led lights on their forks.
I have done quite a lot of mountainbiking in the Ardennes and to be honest, i also took lots of blind corners on the wrong side. Adrenaline can really mess with thinking rational. Great example, the gut on the mtb on the outside trail was also making a mistake.
Yeah, adrenaline can really take over. Such an addictive feeling though. I'm slowly learning to control it a bit better. I used to mountainbike in Chaudfontaine quite a bit. Super nice place to ride, but the climb to the start of the trails head is pretty brutal. Thanks for watching my videos!
In principe kan een motor van dezelfde obstakels af als een mtb, maar ja, dit is wel stevig off-road:)
Dat de motor het aankan geloof ik, hier schoten vooral mijn skills wat te kort.😉Wel leuk om een keer terug te gaan, kijken of het nu beter zou lukken.
Just got my One Adventure tower ( largely based on your recommendation) installed yesterday, just like you I think it makes the bike look great! I’m 6’2 and the tower directs the wind over my head nicely. Around 50-55 mph I am experiencing wind coming around the sides, do you get this? Overall very pleased with the look, wind protection and lighting upgrades over stock!
Nice! I’m not sure if it comes from the sides but I do still get a bit of wind. I’d say it’s like a 50% reduction. This is a very unscientific estimate though😉. I’ve recently done my first roadbook ride with it. Really fun way to ride and would definitely recommend. I got a video coming about this soon with all the details. Enjoy the tower bud!
Gaaf avontuur! Ik ben wel benieuwd waar je hebt gereden. Is dit in Belgie?
Thanks! Was wel zwoegen😉 Klopt, dit is in het noorden van Belgie onder Maastricht
Crazy good quality Videos. Super cool man!!
Thanks man!🙏
Bomboclot!!
💩
Its so absurd seeing people ride faster their safe stopping distance. Just blindly throttling to blind corners, like what ever there could be. This is the adrenalin drug, we are literally intoxicated, high as f**" - and not aware of the fact, because we are high. Compare that to videos from pro riders, who ALWAYS, make shure their skill maches the speed. Very glad You both survived.
It's definitely something you need to learn to tame.
It always takes quite a bit of courage to admit you've made a mistake, to apologize, to learn from it and to share it with others. Thank you for showing us an example of a proper riding ethics!
Thanks man!🙏
You’re a newbie writer. It’s your first bike and you know that those bikes like to play in the dirt.? There’s a lot of other bikes are better for riding off road!
@@scottgroves1010 yes, I know because it’s very easy to do research. I also had been riding it for over a year when making this video. Definitely agree that there are better offroad bikes, but because I’m a beginner I like something that’s easy to handle.
I really appreciate this video. It's well done and honest and a good teaching moment. My only c`omment is asuggestion is to stop referring to an accident and call it a crash or an incident instead.
Thanks Chad! I'm actually saying 'incident' in the video (or at least meant to say) but I tend to talk quite fast, especially when there's a camera running, so maybe it sounds like accident or I misspoke.
Great video, you've brought up some great points. We do share spaces so a good idea to be aware. On the other side of things I've noticed in my country that many cyclists especially mountain bikers has become really entitled to the space. I have got from discussions that they believe because they are exercising and don't have an engine they are entitled. Very arrogant from my point of view. Us as motorcyclists have our responsibilities just as others. I believe that having a very quiet exhaust can make it worse for others to hear you. I have followed mountain bikers go the same speed as myself and cut corners. I think it's great that you've owned up to your responsibilities I also think it's important that others need to be aware that they share the road
Good video. I had a friend almost loose his life on a back road like this getting hit head on by a drunk driver. He did loose total use of his left arm permanently. Despite the errors I almost feel that this worked out about as good as it could have considering they were also not riding on their side of the road. Had you been on the outside of the corner like you should have one or both of you could have collided and gone off the edge or just gone off the edge trying to miss one another. Seems like everyone got pretty lucky here. I'll admit that on these long rides in the middle of nowhere with little to no other traffic it's really easy to get complacent. I admire your willingness to post the video. Everything seems to have been properly handled. Props to you for trying to do the right thing.
Sorry to hear about your friend, that's a nightmare scenario. I hope he's still enjoying life. We definitely all got lucky that day. I find it difficult to say if it would have been worse if I was on the outside. We would have seen each other a bit sooner giving us more time to react, but like you say, we'd also be closer to the edge leaving less room for evasive manoeuvres. Nobody got hurt and that is the best outcome, so I'm inclined to agree with you. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate the support.
This is one of my biggest fears. I learned my lesson years ago when I almost avoided hitting a kid while mountain biking. It is also possible to hit a wild animal rather than a human. Especially where I live, there are many nightjars resting on middle of a dirt track at night and they fly towards the headlights of the vehicle.
Yeah, this was a huge wake up call for me too. I've been much more cautious in these scenario's ever since but you're right, wild animals will always remain tricky. I haven't come across nightjars but the deers over here sometimes pop up out of nowhere. Just happy there aren't any sharks along the trail, because that would be my biggest fear.😅 Thanks for watching!
Very clear and concise videos with the issue explained along with the solution.
@@gsj-66 thanks man! Glad you like it🙏
definitely should have been more cautious into the blind turn, HOWEVER, the cyclists were riding 2-across. so if you'd been on the outside, you'd have hit the guy closer to the drop and you both may have gone over the edge. at least in the actual event, you and the guy at risk were both near inside. you're not without blame here, but they shouldn't have been riding 2-across in a blind turn.
That is fire, super cool mod.
good video. we all make mistakes riding our bikes. Every story that educates an unexperienced rider before he makes the mistake and dies...is a story that needs to get out. Just yesterday we had a call for our firebrigade (i am a volountary firefighter) for a sportster rider that passed a coloumn of cars. the cars were following a traktor with a trailer and just when the biker was on the hight of the tractor, it turned left. he crashed and died on the spot. just one of the many lessons I learned...if you pass a slow moving row of cars, do it slow and carefully. thumbs up for showing your mistake.
Oof, that sounds rough to deal with. I can imagine witnessing something like that leaves a lasting impact. I'll keep this in mind for future rides. Thanks for sharing and take care🙏
@@FineLine-Media It sucks. Good thing here in Switzerland is that we only pull people out of accidents if necessary as we are only "voluntary" and not professional fire fighters. The medics are and we only lend a hand and do the lifting. We tend to only let as many of our own people get close as necessary. But still, it always affects you in some way, but mostly it makes you think about what is important and how fragile we all are. But yea, i have been riding for almost 30 years, had my share of accidents and I am glad I survived the "idiot-years".
@@wickedtwix Yeah, it puts life in perspective. I haven't witnessed accidents like that but seeing serious illness from up close does the same thing. I have huge respect for everyone in the emergency services. "The idiot-years" is actually a great way to refer to those first few years when the hunger for adventure is stronger than the skillset. It captures the stupidity and dangers so well. I may borrow it in a future video.😉
amazing video that might even help save lives in the future... I always tell my friend not too ride too close to me in the trails because "I might brake for no apparent reason, but it's because of other people and blind corners"
Thanks Toine, appreciate it! If this video helps to prevent just one accident, I’d be super happy. I was surprised how quickly you catch up when someone brakes firmly, because I wasn’t even following that close. I try to leave more space now. Another viewer also recommended to practice swerving, which is a great tip and fun to practice too. Thanks for watching!
I like the honesty, and the big fact your saying your where in the wrong is pretty good personal trait. I am a motorcycle driver always wanted to diver offroad but never did, because i am to scared to damage my bike or make a realy big fall. Any tips?
Thanks man, appreciate it! As for tips: invest in protection, both personal and for your bike. For personal protection I'd recommend a good helmet (obviously), a full harness (chest, back, shoulders, kidney), elbow guards, knee braces and mx boots. For the bike I'd get at least a skid plate and some crash bars. It also helps to define your bike's weak points and protect those extra. For example: my CRF250L has a very exposed radiator, so I bought a radiator guard for some extra protection. Accept that you're going to fall more than once. It's usually at low speed and nothing scary. Oh, and never cut blind corners.😉 Enjoy!
@@FineLine-Media thanks for the tips
I really love this Video and that he does this kind of "AFTER ACTION REPORT" and shares it!! I believe this to be really valuable! BUT, even if he said 'not to tear him a new one': MAN! Even the first few moments of footage gave me immediate anxiety on how he cut the corners! RIDICULOUS! I know the dangers of HYPE myself. And almost fell victim to it as well once on a narrow mountain road through the forest. But even then... Like THIS? Completely BLIND? Nahhh man! ... But still: Really love that he spreads awareness like this! Owning it! Like a man! And thus helping others!
It's okay, you can tear me a small one. Just because you're so nice about it.😉 Thanks for watching man!
@@FineLine-Media Sure thing. Glad I stumbled on this vid. Hope the algorithm picks it up and adds a couple zeros behind the view-counter. Keep up the videos and stay safe✌
@@amarured Will do and you too!🙏
Seems like the cyclists are just as much fault to me tbh, riding 2 abreast like that you would have still hit them if you were out on the right side of the road. You'd never ride a motorbike like that sat alongside your mate on a road like this, but cyclists do it all the time.
You've made big mistake here, but after consideration they shouldn't be driving side by side when they knew somebody is approaching, the engine isn't quiet. Now when I think about it, it may become problem when electric bikes become popular.
Yeah, this will definitely become worse with electric bikes.
Hello, with high beam position of the bike, both leds are switched on? Thanks
Yeah, when you switch on the high beam you're using all lights.
This was a really thoughtful and helpful and also important video, thankyou for sharing! Honest assessment of our own mistakes is so valuable isn’t it, and important in avoiding repeats. I just had a head on crash with my best mate on our dirtbikes on the weekend, and we did a bit of a debrief assessment as well, and worked out some good plans for avoiding that again (fortunately no major injuries), but the assessment of mental state as well in this is something very helpful to add to it. Thankyou!
Oof, glad you guys are okay! Yeah, a bit of self reflection goes a long way. In all honesty, it’s not something I do regularly but taking the time to think about this incident gave me some insights I otherwise wouldn’t have. And better yet, by sharing it I’ve gained even more. It’s been cool to get so many constructive reactions, lots of experience and wisdom in the comments. Thanks for the kind words, really nice to hear it’s been helpful. Happy riding and stay safe!🙏
@@FineLine-Media cheers and thanks for such a nice reply! 😊
No one's mentioning the cyclists' responsibility, riding two abreast, basically taking up the entire road around a blind corner?
Thank you so much for sharing! You are going to be great and safe rider with this mindset :D
I hope so, haha. Thanks man, appreciate it🙏
i mean they should have heard your bike and maybe gone to the outer side
Does it have a USB outlet to plug in your phone or tablet?
Not standard. I think One Adventure might have it as an option, but I mounted my own that I got from Amazon. I'll be doing a follow-up video soon and will show how I've installed this. It was easy, but you do need a special auxiliary if you want the plug to turn on/off together with your bike. (for the CRF250L and CRF300L anyway). Good luck!
I would say the cyclist was mostly at fault, they wouldve been able to hear the motorcycle coming up but still decided to ride side by side on a blind corner. Cyclists need to be aware they're not the only ones on the trail which they often forget
Earned the sub for publishing on a difficult subject. I'm a rider of 40 years, and had my fair share of stupid mistakes. It conditions you. I'd probably not be going as fast as that off road, due to a matter of personal responsibility. I think the trend for people carrying SOS beacons expecting someone else to save them pushes caution to the wind and raises expectations in others. I've not seen a SOS recovery situation that wasn't totally avoidable. Looking forward to having a look through your channel
Thanks, I appreciate it! To be honest, I wasn't carrying a SOS beacon either, I went full stupidity.😉 I've become a lot more cautious since this incident though and will probably get one of those beacons just in case. But even if I do, I'll try to keep out of situations where I need to use it. I've received a lot of great advice (see comments), with ride right, slow down and the SEE approach being just a few of 'em. It's been really cool to get so many constructive reactions. Thanks for watching!🙏
Bikes, cows, pickup trucks…never know what’s around that blind corner.
Your speed was too fast and obviously wrong side. The cyclist on the outside should not be there on a blind corner. A full sized vehicle could have taken them both out at that speed. I see YT dirt bikes flying thru single track and if they met someone the same speed going the other way it'd be all over. Encounters will happen on multi-use trails, always ride in control allowing anticipation.
I teach dirt bike and ATV safety classes. An important part of the course is SEE: Scan/Search, Evaluate, and Execute. This should sound familiar to street riders, and it is infinitely more important off-road. On the street, there are lots of regulatory controls like traffic lights, speed limit signs, and stripes indicating traffic paths. In the off-road environment, regulatory controls are rare. So use SEE. Scan the entire area where you are riding for critical information. If you can't see (for any number of reasons like dust, sweat in your eyes, glare from the sun, etc.), you can't gather ANY critical info, so evaluate that ANYTHING could be coming from your blind spot. The correct decision to execute is to slow way down until you have enough time and space to react. Yes, it's fun to ride briskly on roads and trails. No, it's often not a good idea. BTW, BDR's Ride Right campaign is very valuable, but with a caveat: ride to the side that matches the local 'rules of the road'. In the US, most of Europe, etc., people have been conditioned to ride on the right on the street, and their reflexes will make them tend to follow that convention off-road. In the UK, NZL, Japan, etc. local conditioning is the opposite so Ride Left is the correct answer. If you can't reflexively do that because you are a visitor, SLOW DOWN so that you conscious brain can help you with the correct behavior.
This is really helpful, thanks! I’ll use it and SEE where it takes me.
one of the reason the shifter is cheap is to bend before you bend the shifter shaft. Personally I wouldnt recommend more robust.
Thanks, that’s a good point. I didn’t know that but someone else mentioned this too. It makes sense so I’ll probably switch back soon. I have major maintenance planned for next week👌
Cyclists probably doubled down on pedals when they heard motorcyclist who almost killed them coming back to finish the job. 🤣🤣
😂
in australia you were in the right, they should be on the right and you should be on the left where you were
I actually chased them down to tell them this exact thing. "If we were in Australia I would have been in the right!"😉
Thank you for taking the time to post this video. I am an experienced motorcycle rider with over 50 years of riding and racing. I recently started dual-sport/adventure riding offroad. I completely understand the thrill you were experiencing while thinking of the Dakar racers. Sometimes I pretend as though I'm in the Baja 1000 on a stretch of hilly, gnarly, sandy road where I live. But I will try harder to keep in mind your incident and the 4 points while riding on public roads and trails. Your video is of great value.
Thanks for your comment! The Baja 1000 is a bucket list goal. Not sure if I’ll ever get there but it sure is fun to dream about it. “Imagination will take you everywhere” - Einstein.
I'm a cylict myself but I'm wondering why is noone mentioning the way these two were going downhill? They were riding next to each other which is extremely dangerous. So if you were riding your bike correctly on the right side of the road can you imagine what would happen with the other cylist? Would he be able to steer to his right or would you drive off the road? Then the roles would have been reversed and the cylist would be the one to blame. All in all you were not the only one creating a dangerous situation here.
Something I learned when going down loose rocks.: Turn off your motor. Use your clutch as the rear brake. It saved my ass.
That actually sounds really nice! I come from mountain biking and have always struggled a bit with the foot braking, especially in the steeper descents. Your tip would basically make braking the same as on a mountainbike. Definitely trying that out!
Me being a truck and coach driver. Will always expect a big vehicle coming around the corner. Just try that. Next time.
Pff 1st off all. You are very brave posting this. You are sooo lucky. Not just killing others. BUt also yourselves by simply crashing In The middle of nowhere. I’m already scared simply listening to your revs. You are driving too high revs. Not being able to pull your bike through the corner. You need to be able to take the corners rotating the bike over the rear at all times. It means drive lower rev where torque is higher. And use your front brake a little to feel the grip. Create more grip on the front and be able to angle the bike more until after the corner is safe to attack. The more angle helps your rear to become loose. In combination with front brake. As you wash out controllable on the front you can ad torque on the rear. Notice that the sound of the motor will be deeper / lower. Now you will be able to 2 wheel drift through corners in control. You need to relax. Loose the adrenaline. You will get it at near washouts anyway.
Thanks for all the tips, that's exactly what I want to learn. Regarding the revs, my bike (2018 crf250l) actually makes it peak torque at 7,000 rpm and the bike seems to be happiest in those higher rev ranges. Should I still drop the revs than for 2 wheel drift? Working on relaxing and skills too. I'll be honest, it goes with ups and downs. ;) Thanks for your comment man, appreciate it🙏
