Приєднався 2 кві 2023
I confess, I am a motorcycle adventurer wannabe!
I spend hours after hours watching other bikers on UA-cam going on exciting adventures and the hunger for making my own motorcycle related experiences grows stronger every year.
I have the bike (BMW R1250GS), and I have all the tools and equipment I need
I have 30 years motorcycle experience on tarmac and the last few years I have been expanding to gravel and some light offroad.
I want to ride the TET routes and the ACT routes, I want to drive around Europe and I...
As I am getting older, I cannot procrastinate forever - I need to get going!
Geriatracks is an attempt to push myself a little further, if I have an audience I have no excuse not to go, right? :-)
Grab life by the handlebars!

Kajakkpadling på Sveriges Vestkyst juni 2022
Flott video. Artig når presentasjonen er så bra som dette og at det ikke bare er GoPro og asfalt hele veien. Gleder meg til neste del 👍
Tusen takk! Holder på 😊
Väldigt snygg film på ett fantastiskt äventyr.
Takk, Anders!
Rett og slett en veldig bra produksjon. Jeg er imponert!
Takk! :-)
❤
Fantastisk underholdning! Jeg lo godt av den der.
Need bigger bikes to crush land
Show! ua-cam.com/video/O4alX0eJfuQ/v-deo.htmlsi=dyZkA7wjmoq0qB6k
MY heart goes out to you both,. Schoolboy error. TOO MUCH BIKE!! Why would anyone need 130 bhp and 300kg to go 20 mph. You WILL fall off on a off-road trip and every time you have to pick the bike cup you'll be more tired and less confident...leading to more falls. It can make for a miserable time. Hard panniers cause more broken legs than falling off. Overweight is underprepared . Go small, go light. No....go lighter than that and you'd really enjoy it. Hope you guys had a great time all the same and thanks for posting the vid.
Oh, yes - we learned a lot on that trip! I totally agree, these bikes are not suited for TET. I believe that the only way to learn is by failing tough - THAT is wisdom that sticks! And it makes fun videos, everyone like to see another person crash as long as only the self confidence is hurt :-) Going to stick to ACT with the GS from now, but thinking about buying a lightweight bike as a no 2 for TET etc... Please subscribe to get the videos from the 2 month trip from Norway to Armenia and back this autumn!

Hi @@Geriatracks . Yes its a very effective way to learn but its "tough love" eh? I did the Transam Trail almost 20 years ago but luckily had read The Adventure Motorcyclists Handbook by Chris Scott who advocated small bikes and traveling as light as possible. The guy who founded Adventure Spec is also a friend and he'd told me about travelling light. So I bought a DRZ 400 and whilst the bike was the right one, I'd never ridden off-road so I spend quite a lot of the first few days of the trip on my arse....but "tough love" is a good teacher and I became adequately skilled in the trip. Often its the mishaps that make the story so you'll be able to laugh at yourself with your friends about "tough love. Thanks again for the post. I've used a "adventurised" 690 KTM in my last trips across Russia, Mongolia Kazakhstan....and hardly ever fell off...errr...very much. :0). Thanks again for the post. Rod
Tough love it is :-)
Hahaha brilliant, love your sense of humour and commentary and filming. Can I come touring with you?!
Sure, any time :-)
This is the rough plan for August 14th to October 13th: trips.furkot.com/board/utqAJs
@@Geriatracks I am assuming you guys are retired / semi retired
@@MacMoodyOM not yet, unfortunately - just taking out some unpaid leave "once in a lifetime"
Much Enjoyment 👍😎
No pain no gain etc etc :-)
300 - 400 ccm passer bedre på slike 'veier'.
Absolutt, man lærer litt smått om senn....
Really enjoyed your trip. Entertainment at its best!!! Hats off!
Thank you very much!
Nice video! As a cyclist it's good to see that Netherlands has wider lanes for cyclists than cars!
Hehehe, ole :-)
Ser underbart ute. Bra kämpat och fina vägar :)
Takk :-)
ride more off road, smile more off road
With or without teeth... :-)
SANFRANTASTISK !! Hvor går 2024 turen ??
Dette er en grovskisse over ruta. Ned gjennom Italia, over til Hellas, Tyrkia/Georgia/Armenia og hjem gjennom Balkan Se en skisse her: trips.furkot.com/board/utqAJs
Helt rått gutter! :)
Takk, Rasmus :-)
1:24 Jøss! En el-sykkel i Italia? Scilla så ganske bra ut, ja! Det er veldig søtt at de ikke fjernet norsken ombord på Vestfold. 5:55 Det var akkurat slik sand jeg tryna og ødela kneet i! Det var bra at du kom deg gjennom hele turen skadefri!
Hei, ja - de har MASSE elsykler i Italia. Alt for ikke å måtte røre seg! Og de er IKKE sperret på noen måte. Jeg har opplevd å bli forbi"syklet" av en elsyklist mens jeg kjørte Vespa :-) Glad for å unngå uhell, det er ikke noe kjekt, og særlig ikke når man er alene!
Jeg tenkte ikke egentlig over det da jeg så første episode, at du hadde laget et eget intro-clip til serien, med et lite knippe videoer. Men når jeg så det andre gang gikk det opp for meg. Veldig fin den! Liker hvordan du får med litt av alt i videoene. Litt by, litt landskap, litt trafikk, litt infrastruktur, litt folk, litt mat, litt alt. Og så litt action-filming, oppstilt filming, litt stillbilder. Hyggelig! Blir redd på dine vegne ved 6:30 - der hadde jeg punktert og mest sannsynlig fallt. Nesten 100% sikkert.
TUSEN takk, fint å høre. Legger jo litt sjela i dette, så....
Så veldig fint ut å sove oppe i fjellene, under et oliventre
Det var det og :-)
like it. this is stunningt rip~bye. =))
Thanks :-) May I ask how you found it - I am new to this....?
Liker editingen din, spesielt introduksjonen 😁 Og så fint å få dokumentert turen så godt, ikke minst for de andre som var med på turen - det er jo ikke alle som er like flinke eller tålmodige nok til å filme og ta bilder. Gaute som dronefilmer? Hilsen din sønn
Takk, kjære sønn ! Gaute som dronefilmer, ja, pluss mye gopro også
