    Well, practise is one thing, getting a good instructor to observe the practise and give pointers even more important. You can put this into perspective towards everything else we do, Martial arts, first aid, flute or even pole dancing 🤣 Since I'm a tall guy, learning to get rid of the bar raisers I had to learn the hard way. but with 2 meters, a broken back you need to find something in-between that are comfortable and a comprise. It is a huge difference in Adventure touring and racing in technical terrain. And I feel here is where so many get things wrong. almost like you divide the community with those hardcore just came straight out of adventure course going full throttle in every corner, and the casual adventure rider. This could actually be a great episode on the podcast Rob 🤩👏🏻 Really nice to hear Anders share his knowledge, thank you for this

      Yes practice is a must but as you say, getting corrected while doing it is important. Need some help with my pole-slide-split. The slide burns my thighs. And yes, Anders is only about active offroad riding but I guess the casual ADV-cruiser could learn a thing or two. We all want to be Chris Birch right :) Yes we have material for a pod for sure :) Cheers Tjommi.

      Rob, is there markers (measures) on Your T7 fork tubes upper end? I had that on the 690 and as well KTM 790/890R fork. From factory setting i could raise the trippel camp about 3-5mm or lower alot more. Markers help to keep track on what You are doing and as well equal on both sides. Lower = sporter bike but as well You need to "watch" the steering alot more. Higher is nice when you go into the "Easy Rider -Mode" 😁. Very nice rider position basics by Anders and video buddy! Met Anders a couple of times, both on training and ADV Rallys. First time was in Värmland 2007. Great work 👍

    Robert, very good vid. The man of experience and wisdom presented some great points and truths about setup. I have raised my forks 15mm and am still dialing in the rear when I change shock also the frontend will have major Ohlin internals and springs rated for me. You have to get over top of your bars so you can bear down on the front wheel. I agree with having the open ends on the bars. Much easier to slide the hand off than turn loose and raise it uo then out of way, I have the same fancy costly mirrors. Now practice. I want a cap like his. Also a Nomad one.

    That was interesting. Cheers.
    I run my bikes without metal hand gaurds and just run the controls loose enough so they can move if impacted (just like your man). Many, many spills later and nothing has ever snapped. Even the mirrors have survived. The levers on the bikes are quite short which may help.
    There is one thing though, on soft ground your bars can dig in more than they would with metal guards. I could imagine that making life more difficult when picking up larger bikes.
    Have a good one.

    9:14 on the T7 you can’t go 50mm down because the fork tubes will hit the tank. The markers on the tubes will show the lowest position. From stock it is around -20mm to the markers where the ‘smooth’ area of the fork tube start and end.
    Edit: Maybe he meant 5mm not 50.

The only thing I can agree with is that IF you go OVER the handlebars, then I can see a possible scenario of hands getting stuck

      Yeah, but you need to considerate what terrain and roads you are riding, if you stand like that on a 7 hour adventure you will go into cripple mode quite fast. You need to loosen up, engage and disengange between the corners and technical terrain. But off course, you are a pro, so you knew this 🤭😇

    What are we talking about here? Don't misunderstand my question! But what Mr. Olofsson is talking about is an active driving attitude, which makes sense when riding off-road in a sporty, fast and agile manner. The settings on the motorcycle are of course helpful. But only as long as you ride with physical effort to be fast on the track. How long can you stand it if you spend the whole day on and off the road on a motorcycle? Let's be honest with ourselves! Don't we usually ride around relaxed and look at the landscape? I want to see you spend 6, 7, 8 hours on the motorcycle with your knees bent, your upper body bent and your head thrown back so you don't just look a meter in front of the front wheel. For days and maybe weeks. In order to be able to ride in a relaxed manner, we often stand up straight and therefore need a different handlebar setting and maybe a handlebar riser. As I said, what Mr Olofsson explains is not wrong! I think you have to find a compromise on how you set up your bike so that everything fits. 🤔

But that to me is attack mode, and too tiring and intense for riding trails, usually with a rucksack on . If I take my lovely mirrors off...and my lovely Barkbusters...and my bar risers, my T7 is becoming an enduro style bike and not the comfy Dakar looking ADV bike I need...!!

    I'm not a offroad motorcycle rider but when i stand up on my T 7 i'm literally on the front wheel. I have no space between me and the handlebars. I can bend my legs and Stretch back but then my legs will have zero support. In my mountain bike when I stand up the distance ( reach) to the handlebars is quite big so i'm streched over the bycicle top tube. Very good control even downhill. The T7 for me to work as I like would need much lower and positioned back footpegs. I prefer sitting and lift my bottom at times when I need. I'm 1.85 cm.
