That was a cracking POV... a lot of all the gear no idea's on that ride. Of all the bikes in your fleet I have to take my hat of to you Nathan for riding the postie bike.
Your point was made very well for you when you came off and lifted the bike back onto its tyres with one finger 😁. I see pics of GS's and their ilk; loaded to the gills, and can't see how you would ever pick them up after the inevitable tumble.
Hi Nathan, just catching up on your videos after a busy summer; steadily working my way though your last 6 months or so ha ha!..what a brilliant watch that was. I wonder what all those folk on their big expensive bikes thought as you pissed past them on a 110 postie!..lol, brilliant mate!..gave me a proper good chuckle this, cheers for that!..atb, Mark
Yes for sure. That's what I thought really comes out of the video; that if you're on a trip and going off the beaten track, then the last thing you want to be riding is a big adventure bike.
Looks like a lot of guys out there trying to keep their bikes clean for their trip to Starbucks afterwards. Kudos to you for ripping around the track. I ride a 135CC X1-R here and a Himalayan and they're both a hoot to ride if you just push them. Ride what you have, ride it hard and have fun.
Are you going to ride like that on Wednesday - Thursday? You’ll be showing us all up. Man you passed a few KTMs there as well as the big lumbering ADV bikes. I think you proved the point, and then drove it firmly home! See you on Tuesday night. Les. PS, take a look at “MORI TV” on YT to see what can be done on and with a C70/C90.. Les
Over 20years ago brother bought aussie one too still had red dust on it split gearbox aka Honda atc's...isnt it amazing we thought nowt about another 'wish I'd kept it 🤔'
Brilliant Nate. I felt every bump and slide on the 2nd video ... LOL Is that bike a descendant of "Dorothy" ... making a mockery of the "wannabees"? The course was closed on the morning we went to have our go, instead we took the Ducati scrambler round a few shitty trees and that was that ! Looks like you enjoyed yourself more than anyone else ? See ya at the next event !
Nice video Nathan. As a GSA owner there is no way I would take it round there. It's a fantastic adventure touring bike and ok for light gravel....anything more then lighter is definitely better! Wonder what it would have been like on the crf?
Brilliant. I had 2 falls off my Himalayan. The second was here, at the end of the video. Got to the bottom of the dip on the left side then arse over tit. Fantastic. Post part 2 ASAP. Got to see the bikes ahead of you going for it, then you. 👍
Hi Nathan. Please can you tell me what mirrors you have on the handlebars - are they standard equipment, or did you add them? I have no mirrors on my postie, and I desperately need some. Thanks.
Spot on, brought back good memories that! Did you go on. and do the water crossing at the end? They'd closed that bit when I was there because somebody had had an accident. I was on a brand new bike as well, so I wasn't disappointed, it was meant to be a bit hairy!!!😂
I was on a CRF250l and I didn’t fancy it at all but the marshals would not let you go round or go back! It was carnage, I felt bad for guys who are new to off roading! Must have been very off putting. Every bigger adventure bike crashed from what I seen, one or two nasty ones too
@@iangriffiths9930 Yes, that’s pretty much what I heard, I’m glad I didn’t get to it, I was on a Multistrada 950, so pretty much guaranteed to drop it🙁. Next year I’m going to take a dirt bike, so I’ll be up for it then.
There's a good video over on rallyraid's channel with their fella riding a CB500X round, from watching both I'd say you're best to have it pegged the whole way, no matter what you're riding...but maybe that's the wrong takeaway...
Yeah kind of. I went round on the cb500x in the morning when it was wet and you'd be upside down in no time if you pushed hard as it was very slimey but once a bit drier it made for a lot more grip. And the lighter bikes definitely help all conditions
You have to take it easy on these old boys. Many of them are going slowly due to being on borrowed hardware and having a pathological fear of dropping a bike. They do not understand that off road riders expect to fall down. 99% of them have never ridden off the tarmac unless they were drunk. It's a new thing for them.
@@nathanthepostman Fair play to them , I actually meant the fancy expensive bikes , they would have way more fun on a postie pike like you , my chosen weapon is a CRF230F and everyone laughs at me : )
@@370suzuki oh yeah for sure, it just shows how much hardwork it can be on the big bikes if the conditions are against you. Small bike every time for that sort of stuff,

1 of my favourite sayings🤣👍
It ain't what you ride, it's the way that you ride it!
Your point was made very well for you when you came off and lifted the bike back onto its tyres with one finger 😁. I see pics of GS's and their ilk; loaded to the gills, and can't see how you would ever pick them up after the inevitable tumble.
Brill! And def a better watch than the football!👍
Little trail bike is much more capable than most bikes going down that track. Looks more fun than a 1250 GS too. Awesome video Nathan
Absolutely brilliant Nathan 👍. Love that you had the Postie bags on too 😂
That was very satisfying to watch!
Especially when there were a few pile ups. 👏
LOL Excellent! Lost count of the number of heavier bikes that you outclassed.
Now if you could get Rally Raid to make a Stage 3 suspension kit for it........... :D
Great vid, had a grin on my face & chuckles...

You are one amazing rider made that little bike sing .👏👏👍
By the the best ABR Fest video so far!
Hi. Watched loads of vids from the ABR but you on the posty bike is my fav. Who needs a GS!!
I think the fact you are so much faster than most of them is great show you can be more confident on a small light bike
Yes for sure. That's what I thought really comes out of the video; that if you're on a trip and going off the beaten track, then the last thing you want to be riding is a big adventure bike.
The plucky underdog 🤩
I love it!

Love the Aussie post saddle bags still on it ..
What a cracking little machine this honda is i love it👍
Just bought a 110, it got right knackered in Downtown LA. Rebuilding now, and I hope to thrash it here in the U.S just as hard as you.

That’s superb Nathan… love it…
Love this! Such a shame Honda aren't bringing the CT125 Hunter Cub to the UK...
A big shame indeed! I have however managed to get hold of a few which I'll be adding to the fleet in the coming weeks!
@@nathanthepostman why wont they sell in uk?
Brilliant video. 👍
Just shows how good these things are. I'd love to see a VanVan 200 on this course. My favourite small capacity bike.
That is impressive Nathan.
Making a light bike shine, awesome! :-D
Superb !
Go the postie. Great fun. Cheers Jeff
Best CT110 video I've seen.
Over 20years ago brother bought aussie one too still had red dust on it split gearbox aka Honda atc's...isnt it amazing we thought nowt about another 'wish I'd kept it 🤔'
Everyone's there for a roll with the clutch in, Nathan's like "Have it!'
Awesome entertainment thanks
Very nice, Was on a crf250 myself and was happy with my choice of a lighter (but not ct110 light!) bike. Light is right! o/
The mighty ct110 Honda, putting big bikes to shame, love it.
Nice,showed a bunch of them off didn’t you mate!
Brilliant Nate.

You are The Boss!
Awesome bud cheers 👍🏻
I came off my Himalayan pretty much like you came off there on my first green lane. Difference is I was going slower and now have a broken collarbone!
Done mine 3 times on mountain bike. Learn to roll not take the thud, worked for me 10yrs. It’s that whacking impact
@@volt8684 it happened so fast I didn’t realise I was falling until I hit the ground!
Nice video Nathan. As a GSA owner there is no way I would take it round there. It's a fantastic adventure touring bike and ok for light gravel....anything more then lighter is definitely better! Wonder what it would have been like on the crf?
Did you get the track record!
Any chance this video could hit the email inbox of every person at Honda with the power to bring a Euro 5 CT125 to the UK?
Honda are probably too busy designing the next DN01 or Vulcan to care. Instant hit on their hands if they brought it in, but I doubt they will.
That was a great ride and not overtaken by many! What tyres do you have on the postie? Road, 50/50 or knobblies?
Ninja Dorothy, kicks ass.
Less is more:)
Brilliant. I had 2 falls off my Himalayan. The second was here, at the end of the video. Got to the bottom of the dip on the left side then arse over tit. Fantastic.
Post part 2 ASAP. Got to see the bikes ahead of you going for it, then you. 👍

Why were they standing, we have worse A roads than that in Yorkshire, my c92 would have left most of them eating mud 😂
To be fair i went around on the CB500X the next day when it was still wet and it was hard work on the big bikes. Like wet clay.
Tortoise and the hare
What a joke most of those riders are
Most were just novices having a go off road for the first time. Fair play to them for them giving it a go. A few broken bikes. A few broken bones.
