TET Sardegna and how I failed hard
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- My first attempt at the TET Sardinia with my fully loaded AfricaTwin. I don't think I need to say how much I underestimated the TET. Riding a motorbike is nice when you're not busy picking up your 200kg Twin all the time.
There will definitely be a next time!

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate to see also which issues might find as I am considering to do this solo.
From my comfortable sofa :-) I would suggest to leave the panniers at home and get some dry-bag for your seat. We normally don’t use half of the staff we bring anyway. Panniers are not noticeable at high speed but can make you loose your balance at low speeds.
Great video. Some years back I tried TET Italy without any experience on a big adventure bike ( KTM 1090 R). I made it as you and learned as well on the hard way. I booked an off-road training and learned so much about clutch control and balance that was amazing. I did part of the track one year later where I failed before and it was easy going. Thanks for being brave and sharing this video. Failing is not an issue as long we learn and try it again. Well done Alex
Thanks, Alex! It feels good to hear that I’m not the only one who tried the TET and failed :D. I have planned for another Off road training and im looking forward to it! There is always something more to learn. But I heave definitely gotten better at picking up my bike :D and I will never stop picking it up.
Finaly you did it, congratulation. SUPER
Wow, it's like an action movie 😲
Sehr interessant zu sehen was passieren kann.
Wir sind gerade gestern zurück gekommen von Sardinien. Auch für mich war es das erste Mal und auch ich habe es ein bisschen unterschätzt. Was ich mir aber eingetrichtert habe war: „Geschwindigkeit hilft“ und „nicht anhalten!“. Mein Setup war eine BMW R1250GS mit Alukoffer und Topcase, meiner Frau mit 45 KG hinten drauf und meiner Wenigkeit mit 170kg. Mein Vorteil war sicherlich, dass ich meine Maschine samt Gepäck alleine aufgehoben bekomme. Anspruchsvoll waren einige Passagen an Bergpässen die zum Teil sehr ausgewaschen und voller Geröll lagen. Aber ich bin angefixxt und möchte bald wieder ohne Frau hinten drauf loslegen.
Du scheinst aus Deitschland zu kommen. Wenn du Lust hast können wir ja mal zusammen fahren.
Grüße
Ja, Geschwindigkeit ist der Schlüssel zum Erfolg. Ich war dieses Jahr noch einmal dort, und wer hätte es gedacht, mit mehr Geschwindigkeit und ohne Filmausrüstung ging das plötzlich wirklich super. Vor allem, wenn jetzt die ersten Kratzer an der Maschine sind, ist es nicht mehr so schlimm, wenn sie noch einmal umfällt. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder hingehen.
Mittlerweile bin ich aus der Region Wien, Österreich, aber das sollte kein Hindernis sein. :)
Nicht vergessen, lackierte Seite nach oben Gummierte nach unten :)
Much Enjoyment 👍😎.
We all start somewhere 😂
Schönes Video. Ist halt auch interessant zu sehen wie es gehen kann wenn man kein Offroad Profi ist. Bin im Sommer auch auf Sardinien und schau mir den TET da an. Grüsse aus Oberammergau
Ich habe mich halt wirklich durch andere Videos verleiten lassen, teile des TET zu fahren, die auf Videos von anderen super einfach ausgesehen haben. Aber was ich gelernt habe, man kann einfach Segmente des TET überspringen.
Ich wünsche dir aber auf jeden Fall viel Spaß! Es macht echt mega Laune, den TET zu fahren! Wenn du die Möglichkeit hast, schau dir mal Motowinch von Eastbound an (oder vergleichbares). Das kann dir im Notfall extrem helfen, deine Maschine wieder aufzurichten, den auf dem TET ist sehr sehr sehr wenig los ;)
You may put a bit of an extra weight on to the bike for that enduro.
you did pretty well until you did slow down, the slower you ride the more difficult it becomes. When you're driving uphill you need momentum especially on loose gravel roads. I'm sure that with every next kilometer your confidence will grow and off road give you more satisfaction. 👍
Thank you for your encouraging words! Yes, I finally found out that speed is the key. I went there again this year, but without the entire filming equipment, and guess what, it was a lot easier than last time! But everyone has to start somewhere. :)
Wow, I visited Sardegna too, about a month ago, both on and off road riding. Great place to enjoy riding a motorcycle 💪
9:59 don t give up mate !!😂
I will eventually do it!
Hint: do it on a lighter bike. My KTM 690 Enduro R is the biggest I’d ride it on.
Momentum. As the paratroopers used to say, “He who hesitates inherits the earth!” 🙀🏍️
just less lugagge would do the job😂
@mrbase111 definitely!
It is a heavy motorcycle and you have to stand on such a route on your motorcycle and not sit but maybe an off-road course is something for you.😉👌🏻
You are absolutely correct! Every mistake I could have made I did 😂. I had a week long off-road training planned, but covid had other plans. But I will definitely do the training as soon as I can and it is available again. 👍
Bikes like this do N.O.T belong on the TET. This is getting rediculous... what kind of riders do find the project and then just think because they have the GPS-Tracks should go with heavy and mostly unprepped bikes.
Thank you for sharing your concerns about the choice of bikes on the TET. It's important to remember that adventure bike riding is diverse, and there's no one "right" bike. Riders have various skills, preferences, and reasons for choosing their motorcycles.
The TET offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and skill development. Many riders start with limited off-road experience and improve as they go along. What might seem challenging can be a rewarding adventure.
Let's celebrate the diversity within the adventure riding community and support each other in our shared passion. What may appear "ridiculous" to some is an exciting adventure to others.
