    Excellent video with detail and good pace. The shifter position section has some helpful advice because some factory positions are too low, which can lead to accidental up shifts. I installed the red Moose Racing foldable gear shifter on my 2014 Honda CRF250L to replace the bent factory shifter. The Moose shifter feels a lot better compared to the factory shifter.

      Sure. I was using Forma Terra Evo Boots which as not as rigid as proper MX boots, but the are one of the most rigid adventure boots you can get. I was wondering if having a proper MX boot would have prevented this injury but I'm doubtful... after all, my left foot got twisted left and even the most rigid boots cannot prevent if from happening as it not anchored anywhere, it will just spin around your shin. Any thoughts? Saying that, having more rigid boots wouldn't hurt. This is the reason why I have recently purchased the Gaerne SG-12. All the best!

    • @MotonJoy
      @MotonJoy 10 місяців тому

      Thanks for your thorough reply. I agree, no boot could prevent that kind of twisting. I use the Alpinestars Tech 7s when riding off-road. Very rigid boots but extremely comfortable. I believe both Tech 7s and Gaerne SG-12s provide similar protection. Hope you are fine now and enjoying your riding on dirt again. All the best! @@Shem

      @@MotonJoy I've tried the Tech 7s, but they did not feel comfortable on my feet. They had a hard 'bulge' in the middle of the foot, on the inner side. I presume this makes them a better fit with some foot shapes but it did not at all work for me. I did not have this issue with the SG-12, so I went with them instead. All the best!

    Hi Shem (Pszemek?) This is a very valuable video for motorbike travellers, thank you for your effort. I travelled also from the UK to Alps a few times, this year planning to to go to Pyrenees and your experience just get me thinking about all the details you mentioned about the insurance and TET difficulties. Insurance details are very important (especially that I travel on my own). I may need to amend my plans slightly :), thank you for very detailed explanations. Also, I noticed that you and your friend from Spain use 21Brothers luggage systems. As they as solid as they say? There is a company called Redmamut and I am considering their product or 21Brothers for the next trips.

    • @Shem
      @Shem 10 місяців тому

      Thank you for your kind words. Indeed, it is Przemek :). Yes, for the next off-road trip abroad I will definitely pay more attention to the insurance aspects. I've been using the 21 Brothers Luggage for over 2 years now and I have been really happy with it. The weight is pretty good vs the amount of space that if offers, and it is fully waterproof. During one on my crashes, one of the bottom straps was ripped of from one side of the luggage, but this could happen to any luggage under these conditions. So all in all I'm happy with it. I've never come across Redmamut, so I cannot comment regarding how it compares. All the best!

      Approx. 13l in the tank. The bike's average consumption is 3.7l per 100km. I had 3l of water in the hydrobag located in my backpack. There were plenty of opportunities to fuel up and purchase groceries. Pyrenes are quite touristy, so there is plenty of infrastructure around.

    Very WELL done, Shem. Though you confess to only being a novice rider, you do your homework like an engineer. Regarding suspension damping, my understanding is that the role of a shock absorber is to dampen spring oscillation ... and that the shock absorber should restrict spring oscillation to ONE oscillating cycle i.e. not allow the spring to continue oscillating (resulting in that porpoising after hitting road imperfections). Ride safely within your comfort zone while learning ... so you get home in one piece!

    Thanks for the video. I bought my crf250l used from dealer with Acerbus tank already installed by previous owner. I disconnected rear tank mounting bolts to lift rear of tank for access and noticed when reconnecting the tank it was binding a bulky wiring harness on left side. Did you run into this problem?

      I’ve done this a while back so I cannot be sure but I do recall a think harness of wires on the left side. I don’t think it was binding but it was quite close to the side of tank. Good luck with sorting it 👍

      My point exactly. On the other hand if there is a will, there is a way. Having backup funds definitely helps is situations like this.

    Why did Johannes go with the road tyres, that can’t have helped his cause, no wonder he kept binning it. Defo need to go and ride in Spain, tempted to head to the Picos. How much was the ferry in total for a return trip? Thanks for sharing, nice watching!

    • @Shem

      Thanks. I think Johannes had to cover a lot of motorway miles between Germany and France. He was concerned that more off-road orientated tires my get bold by the time he gets to our meeting point. I've booked the return trip months in advance, and paid £600 in total (£220 of that was for the cabin). My friends who booked the ferry much later, had to pay closer to £800 in total. So it is not exactly cheap! Where about are you based in the UK?

      @@Shem I'm in Suffolk so thinking of perhaps riding there down thru France, that's quite a ride tho including toll roads. We've also considered driving there with the bikes in a trailer but then we need to find somewhere to leave the car and trailer while we go and do the Picos. I have Motoz Rallz on my T7 and they are claimed to be good for 5000 miles. Ive got 3000 on mine and they still have loads left so there are knobbly options which won't be killed by motorway miles. Thanks for the reply, it's very helpful, made me think about the options

      ​@@twowheeledadventuresuk2739I fit some clapped-out tyre and order a new one to be picked up at the destination, the long road ride on a "nicer" tyre and a more agressive off-road one like a Metzeler 6 days for the trails.

      Thank you, appreciate the comment 😁. Yes, despite all my UK friends having mid-weight ADV bikes, I’ve never felt that my CRF250L is inadequate and I need a bigger bike. If anything, I’m now thinking if I can get even lighter bike - something like adventureised KTM 500 EXC - short of 110kg dry sounds very appealing 😂 Do you still ride the CRF250 Rally?
