    We’ve all dropped our bikes, mine a 1250GSA. As Sterling did, you take deep breath, assess the options, unload the bike, develop a plan, and execute it. It’s all part of the adventure. Well done Sterling!

    I think we are all enjoying the series, good job Sterling! It’s nice to see you didn’t get too angry when you went down. Anyone who thinks they will never tip over are wrong. It is an absolute, we all tip over from time to time, it’s the evolution and growing pains of a motorcycle enthusiast.

    • @RandyMcCotter
      @RandyMcCotter 4 роки тому

      @Scott Riverwood .... it is. I’ve been riding for over 40 years. I’ve dropped the bike a time or two (to say the least). In all your years, you’ve never tipped over? That would be hard to believe! When one is learning, they will tip over as they develop their skills and confidence. As time goes on, they will ride in their comfort zone and the evolving skill set will slow down some.

    After strapping a camera to my helmet to try and record some riding, I can now truly appreciate the effort it must take to film, edit and produce each of your videos - all informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Hopefully you get enough time to simply realx and enjoy your adventures as well. Keep up the excellent work and thanks for taking us along. All the best from Vashon, Wa.

As many others have mentioned, the cinematography, drone footage, the unique campsites, and most importantly your perfect pace and soothing delivery of both your message and voice set these videos apart. We all appreciate the selfless effort you’ve provided for our enjoyment.

    Good to see you got out ok. I've been there myself not able to pick up my Super Tenere with gear on it. I found it helps in situations like you had to drag the bike around on the ground so that it lies across the slope and you are lifting it from the high side...in your case you seem to be lifting somewhat from the lower side which may have added to the difficulty

    • @ClinttheGreat
      @ClinttheGreat 3 роки тому +2

      Exactly this. when you fall on an uphill, drag the bike so that it's perpendicular to the hill by grabbing the uphill tire and pulling it down until it's equal with the other tire. Then lift from the uphill side as Carl mentioned. Then go back down the hill, don't try to go up.

Some of us appreciate the honest truth, over the alternative. And to top it off your triumph over it, at the risk of sounding very cliche, is inspiring.

    Great clip. Part of the experience.
    The times my 1190adv decides to take a rest I just step away from it. The hard panniers make it far easier to pick up again. Pushing the rear tire to the ground put the bike in position where most of the work is already done. And strapping soft drybags in front of your panniers (using rear footpegs as support though may slightly impair the benefit) will help protect your legs as well as keep the weight low.

    Excellent series, I'm really enjoying it. I chose the GIVI Trekker hard cases because they clip on and off of the side frames really easily. So, when you fall off, the pannier/ side case, unclips with a key and you don't have to unload it to lighten the bike to stand it up. Fair play to you picking that bike up on a hillside, that's a feat of endurance all by itself!

The information you are sharing is showing the REAL “struggles” of the journey which is more important to us that are new to the game of off road travels... I’ve been on pavement exclusively with with both cruising and crotch rocket bikes... been on flat ground only for a half hour on a dirt bike ... years ago... and then life got in the way of “living”... so to assure you... yes thank you for sharing. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows... and beautiful scenery... some of us are more interested in the reality of things, to weigh out the pros and cons of the things that actually get us to the most enjoyable moments.

    I have to say, you do an amazing job with your videos and content. I have ridden a lot out there like Beartooth pass, Cody Wyoming, Wind River Canyon, Colorado, Utah, Grand Canyon, from Ohio just for the traveling and riding fun. But what I do is in a motel, restaurants along the way and and it gets pretty costly sometimes and I am totally admiring what you do. Camping all the time cooking your meals, and taking the time to video along the way. I occasionally go pro some of my more enjoyable riding but nothing like what you do. My hats off to you brother. Totally awesome and very enjoyable sharing your experiences from my living room in the winter. I feel like I am right with you. And very glad that when you dropped the bike that you were ok and able to get back on the trails. Keep up the great work and you gained another subscriber!!!

I have super tenere, and that horse is heavy, fell couple times and decided to look for a solution.
