- In July 2023 I bought a Honda CRF 300 Rally and rode on the TET as a novice off-roader from London to Monaco and back.
This is the full movie.

A very beautiful film. Professionally composed with matching music.
Beautiful adventure and honest story.
Thank you.
One off the best of not the best film I've seen. So inspirational. Way to go man! Good luck😊 Great choice of music by the way.
Thanks! The music took half the editing time to choose 😅
Man, your journey, loved it. thanks for the content and have a great day !
No problem at all, more to come!
Great adventure and well documented. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Thank you, there is more to come!
Fantastic really enjoyed that thank you and well done 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice adventure, mate! If you ever want more of that addicting loneliness, try TET Sweden. The loneliness I experienced there was of the best kind, like a new state of mind. A true self-discovery and re-evaluation of my life choices. Cheers!
Sounds like you are a fellow appreciator of alone time! I'd love to get up to that area of the world in the future.
Amazing journey and movie! I just turned 50 and bought the same bike. Preparing it now for my own adventures! Never too old to learn something new.
That's awesome, it's the perfect bike to get into off-roading as a beginner!
"Amazing journey and movie! I just turned" 55! ;) "and bought the same bike. Preparing it now for my own adventures! Never too old to learn something new." After eleven years without a bike.
@@x-land-camp415 the perfect bike to get you back in the saddle. Enjoy, my friend
for the love of bikes, if you plan to stay in hotels don't be like the video and add loads of unnecessary bollox to the bike - carry as little as possible and do not fall for the mass marketing machine that says you need everything, carrying camping and cooking gear is insanity unless you are going into the barren, take as little as possible - in modern times if you find you need something you can buy it at most locations
@@ogasi1798 my orientation of campinggear for biketours is lightweight hiking.
Well done young man! You should be proud of your brilliant adventure and the amazing quality of the finished production.
Long time since I've been called young man but I'll take it! Thank you for the support, more to come soon.
Well done ! Thank you for sharing with us. See you somewhere on the Tet. All the best from France.
Thank you! See you on the TET 😎
Adventure fills the heart and nourishes the soul.
A man who has never tasted it will never know.
Nice!
Thanks for making a great film. You did really well considering that you hadn't ridden off road before , well done :)
Thank you! I've just released my next series as well. Still with the same terrible riding...
Thanks for putting a smile on my face for this 1,5 hour of lovely pure novice adventuring; amusing and inspiring! All the best from the the Netherlands.
Glad you enjoyed it! Next series on its way...
1.5 hours of bliss. Thanks man
Glad you enjoyed! New one is currently underway and coming soon...
Hmmm.... curious.... A "full movie" version. Intriguing!
It's fun to say that I've now made a film! 😎
What a great film!!! Now onto the winter series 👏👏
Thanks buddy, hope you enjoy
thank you very much sir for making this film, had me glued to my seat till the end. Brought me tears simply put the amalgam of words combined with scenery works like magic. I am 19 years old learnt to ride a bike when i was 16 and it feels like I have so less time to go out and have fun and I have missed so much of exciting thinks like going on road trip. Alas, Europe is very far from where I live but one day I hope i do the same adventure as you and I'll remember watching your video. thanks once again for this masterpiece of a film. Have fun and please ride safe sir.
Thank you so much for these kind words, I'm very honoured it had this effect on you. Where are you from? If you are 19 then you have a lot of time for future adventures, don't worry. I look forward to seeing you riding around Europe sometime soon.
@@projectbiker I am from India, haha now that i think i do realise i still got time and yeah i ride 150cc bike which isn't that bulky of machine but it helps me clear my mind. sure I hope we meet someday and thanks for the words.
@@Aniruddh-_See you out there 😎
Great video, thanks for taking the time to film and share with us. I am a fellow crf300l owner but won’t ever get to do such a thing with it most likely. Have fun and stay safe
You don't have to do what I did to have a great time with that bike! Hope you enjoy riding it buddy 👍
Well done putting this together mate! Very entertaining, and well edited. From another happy Rally owner here in Australia 😎👍
Thanks buddy!
Good, honest and very enjoyable film, well done!
Thanks Rick! Next series to Spain is already out and up to Episode 2 so far. Enjoy!
Not very often do i find anything on youtube that keeps my attention for so long. Ive toured the alps a number of times on road. I dont have the head for heights that you must have when close to the edge. A fabulous account of your adventure very well put together. I hope you have further adventures. I can highly recommend Spain. Lots of offroad opportunities there. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It was definitely a little scary on a number of occasions... I've actually already been to Spain since this trip and released the first episode of the trip on the channel! I did it over winter which was...interesting. Episode 2 is ready and being released next Friday!
I'm not commenting on videos often but I have to comment on that one. Fantastic editing, great music choices, beautiful sceneries. Overall fantastic video. So far I only had road bikes but now I'm in the market for CRF300 Rally. I'm blaming that on you! Tkanks😂
I'll take that blame! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, really appreciate it
Nice adventure! You did great with very little off-road experience. I'm sure you learnt a lot (keeping momentum is key off-road, engine braking on long hills). Look forward to your future trips 😃
A lot was learnt, and then a lot wasn't! Best way to learn is to get out there and fail...
I genuinely enjoy that, we done mate. Funny I’d just started watching this when I heard you on Reel Rides.
What a coincidence! Simon has done a great podcast and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow.
@@projectbikerit will especially as you’ve made a series.
Like you I find finding the music is so time consuming. I like your A I method. I may try that for the French TET I’m editing at the moment.
Great, loved every second of the film! I realised I need, and will do, this too. Nobody’s gonna stop me haha!
You absolutely should! I barely had any idea what I was doing and it's one of the best things I've ever done.
I started riding offroad last year, love it. But the Dutch mud, sand and woods are nothing compared to what I saw in your film. You must have had the best time, been lucky nothing seriously bad happened, and one hell of an experience! It shows in your film. I felt it. Well done.
Wow! I've loved every minute of this. I have done this sort of thing myself once or twice and you captured EXACTLY how it feels like doing this stuff on your own.
Thank you!
Thank you! It really was a fun project to work on and now I want to see what else I can do...
A really well made Video I enjoyed! Good to see the change in you from day 1 to 18 well done!
Thank you! It was really interesting to watch it back myself and see how I grew over the trip.
Well done mate! I have a 300 Rally as well. I just did USA to Ushuaia and am sitting behind my computer looking for inspiration on how to tell the story. I loved your intro and voiceover. Great work keep adventuring I will be following your journeys.
Thank you! I hope this inspires you to get away from the computer and back out there. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
What an amazing video! I think you’ve found your calling.. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏🏻.
I hope so! I'll keep making them if you keep watching 😎
@@projectbiker Oh, I’ll keep watching! 👍🏻 I subscribed immediately after viewing. Thanks again for sharing 🙏🏻
we all start sommewhere,sommehow and not always is easy. congrats, find your video educative and beautifull adventure. keep going
Thank you for the encouragement. Really appreciate it
Well made - I enjoyed every second of it 👏👏👏
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. More on its way...
Well done mate, great video. Good editing, stay safe.
Thanks buddy
Looking forward to the next one !
Thank you! Currently working on it...
"I saw it THE OCEAN! " 😂 sorry mate, that's the Mediterranean sea. Kudos for your jjourney and video. really nice
Haha! Well, it looked like an ocean to me...
Brilliant. Very enjoyable watch.
Thanks Alan. New series is out now - Episode 2 on its way 👍
Thanks for making and posting your video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks Trevor!
amazing video! well done
Thanks a lot!
Wow ! So inspiring ! Amazing film
Thank you! Now you are inspired, what will you go and do?🤙
@@projectbiker I have a pretty heavy bike compared to the 300 CRF and very little OffRoad experience … But i would like to go around the Alps mostly by the trails ;) I love mountains
@@AGIMDY what bike do you have? I saw a lot of people taking the trails with heavier bikes, but I guess to depends on skill and experience, and whether you can ride in a group or not. It must be harder to go solo in case you can't pick up the bike
@@projectbiker I got the Suzuki Vstrom 800DE, i love this thing ! I can pick it up but... probably no more than 2 or 3 times in a day especialy with the luggage haha. I would prefer to go with people so i will probably try to organise the trip and ask some people to come with me ! But i truly think that a solo adventure is something else that i have to try someday
@@AGIMDY looks like a great bike 👍
Very nice trip man, enjoyable to watch. For all the tips here, I do every year an offroad course given by anyone who has done some enduro/cross in competition. It's fun 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting this mate, really appreciate it. I'm in a similar situation as yours, same bike, never camped, about to embark on a 15,000 km trip. Gives me confidence!
Also, I was nervous for your mavic controller all along haha!! Insane that you always keep it here even when it rains!!
Great trip, looking forward to see more adventrues from you :)
Thanks buddy, really appreciate it. It's a Mini 3 controller and there was never any heavy rain on it. I've since changed to a Quad Lock approach with it that I'm yet to test. Let's see how that turns out!
Next adventure is currently out in episodes. It's up to episode 3 so far and the next one drops on Friday!
Where are you off to on your trip?
@@projectbiker Yeah I saw the other videos as I followed you, will check that out when I can :)
Yeah quadlock is probably better if you always keep it here. I actually liked your idea of using bands, I'm gonna do the same but I will have the remote there only when I'm filming.
Going from Thailand to France through the silk road. With a 300L not the rallye (but with bigger tank and many other mods). A bit scared, I know nothing about bikes or mechanical stuff, just have 3 days of experience offroad and 1-2 year on road but not many km. Only thing that reasures me is that I have nothing to prove and don't mind being the slowest biker in the world haha, I just want to enjoy the road.
@@Tony-kf8qy that's an amazing trip! Will you track it on Instagram or anything? I'd love to follow along
@@projectbiker unfortunately not, I'm not really a social media person
@@Tony-kf8qy no worries. Enjoy the trip. I'm jealous!
Excellent trip! Watched it all.
Thank you! New series to Spain is already out. Episode 3 coming on Friday!
I enjoyed the video, clever editing and a great commentary. Felt like I was on the ride with you. Congratulations!!
Thank you! Glad it felt that way. Much more to come!
Keep going !
Will do!
awesome landscapes
Thanks dude
Excellent video, pleasure to watch, top class editing and commentary. (Watched also shorter episodes )Massive thanks for posting as it is learning ground for my future trips, (perhaps similar set up) How did 300 do on long highway stretches? Were you happy with the bike choice?
Cheers Pi
Thanks Pi! As I'm a beginner to off-roading I'm thrilled with the bike as it's simple and reliable. It's not the best on highways but it can do 70mph very comfortably for as long as you like, and then once you hit the trails it gets over anything and is fairly easy to move around. I added an airmax seat cushion which helped a lot, and I'm sure a taller windscreen would also be a good addition in the future. I changed the rear suspension as I was travelling with luggage and worried that I'd bottom-out the otherwise (I went with YSS but there are better quality ones out there).
@@projectbiker thank you for your reply and useful info.You confirmed my own conclusions, travelling solo you gotta be able to lift the bike on your own in any situation. Good luck with future adventures, will watch closely;)
Much Enjoyment 👍😎
Thanks buddy
The drone footage was quality, great film, was totally drawn in to your journey.
Really pleased to hear it! Hoping to continue improving with each one - the newer Spain trip is out now and currently up to Episode 3. Enjoy!
F A N T A S T I C !
Thank you!👌
So happy that u met Max who gave u a confidence boost :D
Me too, Max was awesome!
This is near enough exactly what I’m planning on doing in August.
I don’t suppose you have a route plotted?
Assietta and Jafferau look incredible!
You will have a great time! I followed the Trans Euro Trail which you can download for free from their website. If you look at the map I show on the screen at various points in the film then you can get a sense for which parts of the trial I followed and which parts I took the road (usually because of bad weather). I'm happy to answer any specific questions you had about parts of the route if that helps?
Good
Thank you!
Loving the video, well done, quick question as I’m doing the TET St Malo to Geneva just wondered how you navigated and found the routes and if you got it onto your Garmin, thanks
Hey, I got all my routes from the TET website and then loaded them onto my Garmin XT. In France there are a wide range of choices for TET routes so I just found the nearest one each day and planned my routes around it. Hope that helps 👍
Inspirational movie (and great editing), makes me even more determined to adventure further afield myself. Could you have done that same (perhaps with a slight variation) journey without having to camp at all? It would be great to travel slightly lighter and have a comfy bed each night!
Absolutely! There was always a hotel available. I've done several road trips before and found I can get to around 3pm and search for a hotel or Airbnb that's a couple of hours away. It's meant I've stayed in some great places that I otherwise wouldn't have found. (It's also meant I've stayed in some awful places, but that's just part of the journey!)
Putting the bike into neutral and coasting is never a good idea by the way. In general, also with cars. Always leave it in gear and let the engine-braking do it's job.
Learnt that the hard way!
wonderful video and well done for doing the trip fella - great effort, as a biker of 40 years myself, all of which has been off road with a road license allowing me to road ride when necessary may i advise you to learn how to pack lighter, much lighter, as in ditch the crap you don't need to carry - save yourself effort and allow the bike to be a bike and not a camel :-)
Thank you! On my next trip I tried to distribute the weight across the bike more and I've got a new plan for the trip coming up this summer. If I didn't camp I could reduce the load a lot but I feel it's important to have that option.
awesome - can you share the GPX file?
You can get all the gpx files for free by going to the Trans Euro Trail website! I used the French and Italian ones.
Right
Excellent watch. Thanks for sharing. Aged 58 and dreaming of the same bike / adventure. Is cameraman your day job?
It's a great bike, go for it!! No, I just do video work as a hobby but I'll take that as a compliment!
Hoping to replicate your trip in September one thing you didn’t mention was fuel was there plenty of places ? What garmin ?have you got did you download to it ?
Hi Wayne, fuel wasn't a problem. I have the Garmin Zumo XT - it worked really well. I downloaded the gpx files to it ahead of the trip using the Trans Euro Trail website.
Thanks
show man
Which Kriegas are you using?
I have the Kriega OS Base designed for the CRF, then two Kriega 18 OS bags on each side and a 20 Kriega US bag in the middle. Works great 👍
Is it new stuff or the Episodes in one Piece?
It's the previous episodes in one piece as a film. The next series is currently being edited and coming soon!
@@projectbiker Thx for the Info🤙
More crying than on a funeral. Had to stop watching after 45 mins. Sorry for your bad experiences...
Glad I kept your attention for 45 minutes!
Next, London to Cape Town on the CRF300?
Sounds like a plan!
