Nice to see those lanes looking dry for a change. I recall watching the first video when Steph visited, she did well then, and looks so much more relaxed and confident on the bike now.
@@BikingBuddies Yeah, is nice having the dry grip 🙂
Steff has come on leaps and bounds since then... is so awesome to see
Awwwwww too kind. Not true. Still peeing my pants most of the time but giggling…as always
@@Midlifebikerchick 🤣
Love those trails. I'd love to ride something less rocky and more fluffy for a change ! That looked like great fun and you all got through unscathed 👍🏻
Shame you lost your mic mid vid but as you know, I like shorter videos 😝
Cheers Pete,
Garry & Ruby
@@economicalrides it is good to ride different terrains, I'm not very good at the rocky stuff... we'll have to swap LOL 😆
It's probably because I don't ride offroad, but always grit my teeth a little bit, expecting someone to fall and get completely soaked on those river crossings or the big puddles, and I'm relieved when everyone makes it through! 😆
Hahaha... normally at least one of us gets a good soaking! 😀
@@markfortin8286 yeahhhhhh I did that at the end…off camera. Had to ride home with soggy Knick knicks.
@@Midlifebikerchick 😁
I love the excited reaction to the river crossing 😀
@@CalmBiker haha, Steff is an awesome bundle of enthusiasm, and ace to ride the trails with 🙂
@@CalmBiker it’s because it’s exciting and surprising that I didn’t bin it 😂
@@Midlifebikerchick 🤣
@@HippoDrones ohhhhhh Pete….shucks ! 😊
@@Midlifebikerchick 😀
Cool Pete, great to see sexy Steff back on the channel lending a bit of class to an otherwise shonky production 😉❤️
@@MVDBR haha, I should employ her to feature more often 🤣
@@HippoDrones hope you got those bearings fixed mate 👌
*unrelated 😅😘
@@MVDBR front wheel is with my dealership now, they trying to sort it under warranty for me 🙂
@@HippoDrones 💪👌
Cracking lanes those mate. Enjoyed watching that 👍. Think it was bit wetter last time
Cheers mate... yeah, am glad it wasn't so wet. Bike is off the road now till the wheel is fixed, but can't wait to get back out to play on it 🙂
It was great to finally get out on the CRF! And what a good day for it too.
@@Phil480 so glad you two got in touch, perfect day for it and not as much traffic after the start too
Ahhh Pete - love the Toe-Rag - every time!
Bloody relieved to see it make it through this video though, having seen the picture of the bearing when you took it off - obviously just after this ride!
I do recognise some of the lanes, but they're always different too - time of year, conditions, I dunno - doesn't get boring for me - it's also different to what we have here, that's enjoyable to watch.
Great stuff mate, be well and ride safe (and often) :)
@@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger Yeah, haha... this was the last ride before getting the wheel off to properly investigate. Up until this ride I'd honestly thought it was tyre noise and the bike was walking on the chunky treads. Lessons learnt there.
Hopefully get the wheel back in a few weeks repaired so can get out some more, both Phil and Steff are up for more trail rides, hopefully get Fish and Pez out too 👍
Great vid Pete & possibly my favourite bike of your forever growing bunch! 😎👍
Well done to Steff for not rear ending you,although possibly your fault for parking on her exit path from that deep mofo puddle! 🤣😂👍
Weekend riding is something I rarely do aswell infact & it's great avoiding the weekend mentalists! 🤪👍
Cheers John, hahaha... I am very fond of the Aprilia, still waiting on getting the wheel bearings sorted, waiting on Aprilia to get them sent to my dealership.
Haha, not sure what you mean about rear ending? 🙂
Absolutely, it all gets a bit busy on the weekends 😀
It was right around the 7:20 mark,but looked as if she was going faster,when I first watched this on the TV! 😉👍
@@johndiehardmclean23 ahh right. Thankfully we are all riding pretty sedately 🙂👍
That looked a pleasant bimble around the lanes with your mates, Great Stuff! Steff's come on a long way since i last saw her on your channel, on a 790 now! (and doesn't she handle it well?) If ever you're down this way again we should have another 'adventure', could soon whip up a gang i reckon. Take care mate, keep doing what you do! 👍
@@kenbrooks7794 cheers Ken, it was a lovely day mate. Aye Steff has so much more skill now and seems to absolutely love the challenge of riding the trails.
Yeah, it'd be ace to get your way again... and getting out on the trail would be amazing 🙂
Awwwwww you’re very kind. I’m not sure I do handle it well but always trying 😂
@@Midlifebikerchick you do great Steff
@Midlifebikerchick It's all relative...... If you were to see me bungling my way through the lanes lurching from one crash to the next You'd think you were Pol Tarres! 😉👌
@@kenbrooks7794 😁
Great ride mate 👍
@@Viper6-MotoVlogger ty V 😎👍
Thanks so much for the ride out. Felt good to be out.
Yep me and Phil ganged up on you and forced you out 😂
@@Midlifebikerchick twisted my arm behind my back, kicking and screaming 🤣
LANING👍😎
@@mellowr1 😁👍
Nice one buddy, as always a cracking video. Fortunately my rest days are midweek so I don't have so much of a problem with the masses. Going to try and get up to Newlands Corner early doors tomorrow morning 👍🏻
@@MrSTAdventures cheers mate. Aye, midweek rides are far less busy 🙂
Have fun playing dirty bikes tomorrow 🙂👍
@@HippoDrones thanks, going to try and make a day of it. 👍🏻
@@MrSTAdventures awesome
Looks like a cracking day was had!..shame about the mic fail like and I know what you mean about voice overs..kind of makes me think the narrator is going to ask me what colour knickers I’m wearing…green by the way..😂..anyhow, pleased you all enjoyed the day. Good to see Phil back on the CRF and MBC did well on the KTM..ps, congrats on the final of the Rally W Steff 👌😀👏🏼
Didn't she do well, looking forward to seeing how she gets on with the final 🙂
Oh man, yeah I had a wheel bearing issue with my HD V Rod. It's an uneasy feeling for sure when you know there is an issue with your bike. Hey at least you still have a couple to choose from while it is getting fixed.
It's funny because I feel the same way about voice overs AND I have had to do a couple for my upcoming videos. Is what it is my friend, sometimes we just have to do it.
@@BigDaveTALKS am very lucky to have multiple bikes, I'd be lost not being able to ride.
It does suck having to do voice overs, but am glad I didn't lose all the content 🙂👍
Great video,some good rides around there,i've fell off on most of them lol,my boss(wife) has banned me from green laning,says i'm too old 👴
@@terrysaint688 cheers Terry, ahh you'll have to tell her it has all been graded and is smooth as silk now so safe for green lane fun 😁
Nothing more annoying than audio issues. Good to see Steff and Phil out on the lanes with you.
@@LordBilious yeah indeedy... just glad it made it to the lunch stop before dying 🙂
Have you ever run into Robinhood? 😎
@@RRatedCustoms more likely to see Jack Upperton in this neck of the woods, a highwayman from the next town to where I live from the 1770's 😀
How can anyone enjoy sharing the road with someone else. That is beyond me. If I see anyone at all, on the same road as I am, I usually just stop the bike, sit by the road and pout, until they get the message and leave.
@@theodorstravels hahaha... maybe I should try that! 🤣
@@HippoDrones You would not believe how quiet the city is right now 😛
