Throttle Therapy - Bikes Make it Better - P2T EP02

- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- The second installment of my 5000 mile solo road trip to the Balkans.
In this episode we see next level iterations of faff as I settle into the ride and zig zag through Germanys gorgeous Black Forest.
Permission to Torque is a Mental Health movement set up to show others that you "get it" by displaying a discrete symbol for others to take comfort in. Its not about sitting around in a circle feeling sorry for yourself, its about shared experience and getting out there to find out what makes us happy - this is the aim of my trip and why I am sharing it on UA-cam, the good days and the inevitable bad ones too.
I hope you enjoy the journey with me and find it at least vaguely useful! :)

I'm getting the urge to follow in your footsteps.
Just been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and can't help but panic about how much time I have left to do something like this.
Edit:
Thanks for all the kind comments, really appreciate it. I've began for rebuild my first gen Multistrada ready for some touring in 2023. Carried over more days holiday and plan to do Lands end to John O Groats and some German fun.
DO IT!
Absolutely. As soon as you have taken the definitive decision of going, all that's left is planning and executing. Taking the decision is the actually the hard bit.

nutrition, message gun therapy everyday, strength training and meditation is key. It will at least slow it down.
Got diagnosed with cancer in 2014………jumped on an airplane and hired a bike in VN to ride around the country…….still here……still fly-riding and also riding in the UK. Get on and do it, this isn’t a dress rehearsal. It might get me one day…….until then…….live it.
Hi Chris. Watching the old BvG vids inspired me to take up biking. I passed my test at the age of 42 and had a few wonderful years of biking on my Africa Twin. Unfortunately, I've got a heart condition and will be having a major op in January. Sadly, I had to let the AT go as it's going to be at least 6 months before I can ride again. When that glorious day comes, I'm going to buy something smaller and lighter and the moment that I swing a leg over and thumb the starter will be the moment that I consider myself over the shit I'm going through right now. I can't wait to get back on two wheels again, I'm counting the minutes as they tick down. Good luck with your travels wherever you may go to. Thank you.
Good luck fella
Good luck, see you on the road!
Wishing you all the best my mate
All the best Andy.
Good luck mate, hope all goes well 👍
You are a massive inspiration, i've been pushing through my anxiety to get out on my bike and it feels incredible. I hope to one day make long trips like you do, thank you for being yourself really motivates me to do the same
oh booohooo hes set for life and can dedicate so much time to his recovery. maybe hell find a cure for his narcissism as well
Always a happy day when baron uploads, keep up the good work and stay strong mate
thank you!
Bloody hell BvG how on earth am I going to find time to binge watch this little trip? ⚡️⚡️
I’ve never looked forward to a second episode as much as this. Keep them coming top man.
Didn’t expect the next episode to be out so soon! Brilliant, just home from a long day at work. 👍
Just wanted to say THANKS for this series of videos.
It’s really refreshing to hear a grown ass man actually admit to having 5hit feelings and that it’s actually ok to feel like that.
When I first started watching 44T, I thought you were a bit of a knob if I’m honest.😂
Now, I admire your courage to be so open and for making normal blokes feel a little less apprehensive about opening up.
Keep doing what you’re doing !
Looking forward to the next episode 👍
I consider myself very fortunate not to suffer with my mental Heath, but know a lot of guys that do. The pressures of a modern life, your videos are an inspiration.
This brings back memories of the old solo gsxr tour. Proves that you can tour on any bike
Loving this series, I'm early twenties currently on a Ninja 400 but I absolutely want to do a trip like this on a beauty like that GS one day soon!
Don't let having a Ninja 400 stop you doing a big trip, they will always be the trips you remember when you are old. I met a young bloke at the Supers at Philip Island one year and he had ridden a CBR250RR down from Cairns!!!
Nothing to stop you doing a trip on your 400.
So many familiar thoughts spoke out loud from my touring on my own. Chin strap - clean visor - is my stuff still attached? - skip lunch to ride more. Love this. Need another bike in my life. Chin up mate and keep on keeping on.
Chortle 🤣 you cheer me up with your faffing ,a problem that I suffer greatly from lol this is wonderful entertainment Chris 🥰💚💚💚
Checked into Le Maison tonight because it looked decent in your vlog. Was not disappointed, the staff are wonderful and the food was amazeballs. Thank you. Highly recommended.
I've used my bike as therapy for years, as concentrating on not getting killed limits the brains ability to dwell on life's issues. I just wish my health would stop fkn with my ability to ride, as in the 5yrs I've had the bike it hasn't covered many miles. I couldn't afford to travel abroad but as I live on the western edge of the Lake District, I have 100's of miles of beautiful countryside to explore.
Loving these, better than anything on TV/Netfkix/Disney/Apple bollocks
Dripping with sweat and excitement😂 😂 Please do podcasts, discuss faffery and more faffery 😂😂
Haha- yes - faffery. As a former something or another used to discipline and being “beasted” for faffery I am finding watching Chris -- funny -- get down give me twenty.
I suppose like all global adventurers you eventually get into an efficient rhythm at the start and end of each day - he didn’t even have to put up or take down a tent ⛺️
Enjoying the ride and unfiltered BVG waffle immensely - wish I was doing it - parallel universe - great for the soul. 😊
Well done for getting up and at em BVG. Enjoying the journey so far ❤
Watching this just after having washed and packed away my riding gear for the winter makes me want to pull it out again and ride! Keep it up, really enjoying this content and your commentary!
With all the grotty weather your funny and original style is such a positive source of entertainment, excellent production value/editing too. Thank you kindly Von Grumbler.
⚡With these vlogs with the Internet and all, all my kids practically raise themselves⚡
Monsieur Baron you are really spoiling us
Nice this is my viewing sorted for tonight ☺️
The best thing about having Covid is being able to watch this immediately.
haha, i dont know if thats good or bad?!
I haven’t got covid or ever knowingly had…doesn’t stop me watching immediately haha
I had no idea COVID was so bad 🤣
@@BaronVonGrumble You are aware that this whole covid thing were used to implement Klaus Schwab's Great Reset plan basically? I'm hoping that it can be stopped, there are groups of people around the world who are fighting it,... do you have any thoughts on this?
The best thing about not having covid, is being able to watch this immediately
So good to see the Baron again. Your videos help a lot of people. Thanks for the effort you put in.
This should be available on the NHS as it would solve so many mental health issues for so many. Particularly as we are just entering Winter. Can give no bigger compliment that these are up there with IBs & MDB videos as my must watch.
Loving it already BVG, missed this kinda shit!
Years and years of watching you get mad riding around in London to this. I like this more. I hope you do as well. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the whole series.
I'd be scared to death riding abroad let alone travelling alone, it can be daunitng enough at times riding the roads of the UK. loving the series so far, keep them coming. 👍
Enjoying this in a nice hot bath, felt appropriate for some reason. Got me really looking forward to my first bike trip in the spring.
Loving this series Chris and the reason behind it.
I also bought my first bike about 10 years ago to help deal with my mental health issues from my time in the RAN.
Riding is the one thing where you can't get thinkie brian. You have to focus on the ride so you can't get lost in your head.
Loving your videos Baron. Thank you for taking the time to do these. It really helps through the miserable winter.
Have used Europe as a race track since the eighties, the B500 being a favorite but its been buggered up with low speed limits, cameras and lots of police presence! I thought I travelled with to much luggage but you take the biscuit!!
You really are amazing chris! We love you!
Thanks for the honesty and being real Chris! I think anyone whose suffered with mental health can relate and I know during my lowest times getting out on the bike was one of the few times my brain switched off and I felt free from the struggles ! Best wishes Dan 👍
Chris you crack me up , Great part 2 , even better tha. Part 1, a day that was great. Keep it up.....Great roads , great banter etc etc. Wake ⏰️ up with a smile Chris, from my angle you look like you got a Great life mate, I know we all have stress and stuff in our lives, but you are definitely making me smile.....bike looks great your a funny guy and the content is top draw....keep positive and like I've always said, when I get ouf on my bike , if forget all the problems etc.....Riding is a Therapy in itself. Can't wait till part 3 have fun , keep safe 👍👍😎😎☀️☀️🏍🏍🍺🍺☀️☀️🏍🏍🏍🏍👊👊👊💪🏽💪🏽
Always hated mornings too. Those first few minutes awake your body starts loading all of your problems back into memory and some days it's just too much.
So inspirational. Unfortunately we (both me and the mrs drives MT09's) lack the funding to just get the hall away from Sweden och take a tour to the south of Europe. Been looking at Lake Garda and the areas around Italy for quite some time and... sigh.
Just hearing you talk reminds me of our intercomchatter when we've been abroad.
Hope you're allright and god bless.
awesome as always chris. good to be riding along. looking forward to the rest.
Chris your a legend don’t ever doubt that
Loving the content, can't wait for the BBB Bavaria night. Il see you there
I really liked this episode, good vibes only!!
I am a huge fan of your's baron, just one reply from you will make my day. thanks for the upload. Keep up the great work. have a blessed day.
Living in California, so wonderful to see greenery. I ride a R1250R but am very interested in the 1250GS. Thank you for a fun Vid.
Superb Chris. I really enjoyed the first two eps. Looking forward to more. A refreshingly honest approach to life in general. You have some serious minerals my friend to wear your heart on the sleeve the way that you do. Bravo and keep up the excellent entertainment.
Looks like a great trip, I think once you get over the general worry of travelling into the unknown you can fully embrace in adventure and new exciting things happen. Nice video Chris. 👍
I love the fact I’m not the only one who forgets to do things before they ride, e.g. my favourite thing to forget is putting in earplugs. 😱
Absolutely loving this Chris! Looking forward to seeing more.
good luck young man enjoying the first two vlogs your in the mind clearing bends now chillout and start to enjoy.
So glad to be watching your new blogs. 👍
I was so hyped about this series. And its absolutely fantastic. Baron roadtrips are the best!
It's official u have become a full on GS Geezer.😁 We still love u no matter how Grey u get.
Epic my friend. So feeling the emotions , cracking content Chris . Once again, thank you for the struggles and laughs , you’re a genuine real joy to spend a little video time with. I think we would get along just fine . Watching from cold Canadian hibernation.
Chris. 😅
Great job Chris,we are with you mate.
So right about having more fun when the limit comes sooner! Or so to speak.
Thanks for the update mate. Love your work 😎💪🇦🇺
As always, thanks for sharing Chris.
I want.. I WILL do something like this. I do short loops and routes any sunny day I can and it relieves any stress, worries, panics I have. I enjoy it immensely and come home refreshed to crack on with the day.
Cheers for the laughs over the years Chris 👍✌
I have had many a mornings where just the thought of facing it all is too much weight… Then I think of my daughter and my bike (r1200GS) … If I have either of them I’m good :) But when I don’t have her and just muster the energy to mount the bike… it’s always better. As you’ve said it gets better with every twist of the throttle ❤ Thank you for the amazing & sincere content you share !
Best thing that has been on you tube fro a while. Thank you.
I’ve watched Barron for so many years now and I’ve always wanted to see the aging BVG hit some lightweight Dual Sport off road riding and take some adventures.
Great video , great encouragement to all us procrastinators out there, for whatever PTT reasons. Keep it up
Loved it , a newish BMW still sounds just like my old R90s circa 1988 ! Looking forward to more faffing about 😄
Hi Chris. I've done the B500 from Baden Baden down to Switzerland too on my ZZR 1400. Very nice roads. Can't wait to go over there again
Absolute legend, keep the headspace clear brother 👏
I recognise the road at about the 9.30 mark, from when you and Fagan were touring on a couple of KTMs.
If its inspiration I needed to do something iv wanted to do for a good few years now by watching the big dog' BVG' this is definitely it,can't want for the next one to drop ride safe man.
Love your anecdotes throughout sections, i thought it was just me who spoke to themselves under their lid. My P2T sticker is proudly on my R1200RS Top Box :-) Thanks
Enjoyed yet another great video. Very nice roads and great to see you doing this.
Thanks Baron, love your videos dawg
Another cracking vlog , nice roads in the forest, and that first hotel looked lovely
So glad I'm not the only one struggling with SatNavery. Amazing how some time in the saddle can blow away some of the worries in life.
It’s lovely weather down here in South Eastern Australia… might have to get the airhead out for a ride. Love this series.
make sure you behave in Switzerland! we got a speeding fine in the Alps as well....not a cheap day that one!
Thanks for these Chris.
I’ve been away from bikes for a while now, these lovely trinkets are bleeding the love back into me again. I absolutely miss riding my bikes. Don’t know why I ever got rid of them.
Hope you had a blast on the trip, looks enjoyable. I’m hoping for the same.
All the best man.

I'm really enjoying the series, thanks for doing it.
Get the puck on! Enjoying this series. Thanks! And....Permission To Torque! I totally relate! My 2018 RT is the best therapy. Unfortuately it's hibernating now, until March. So thanks (again) for providing motorcycle content on the (you)tube! From Kelowna, British Columbia P.S. We're all in this together.
Loving this and your honesty. Nice not to feel like the only one that feels overwhelmed sometimes. Oh, and I bought some stickers!
i’m looking forward to this series! 😊
Oye , Baron, you keep costing me money. I look at your machine and think that bit would enhance my touring experience.
Great video, I enjoy just taking off by myself, it’s good for the head space. It’s therapeutic.
Lifting the daily load one video at a time, Kudos Baron!
Did a very similar route this summer with some mates, epic roads. The best are OFF the B500
Two vids in a week! You are spoiling us 😀 great vids and look forward to the rest of the series 💪🏻
glad Im not the only one who gets caught up in bike faffery before setting off!
Outstanding as always Chris, proper quality videos no guff. The first couple of minutes caught me off guard but in a good way, "get on with the problems you can solve today" so simple but true! People laugh when I say it but bike time is like a re set for me let's me get rid of all the work shit and life shit at least for a little while! Can't wait to see the rest of the trip man ♥️
Loving it, I was there this summer. 18m15s, that's Mummelsee, I parked there right behind where that white car is 👍
That sounded and looked like a T/max scooter with a turbo at the end... with a matching riding style...
I set my phone so it goes to black and white after 9pm to stop the blue light. This video was beautiful as a result. Keep it up Chris
Great again. Thanks !
Enjoying your trip Baron! Will do this type of thing one day!
Awesome stuff
Great second episode , keep them coming
Do what makes you happy, with the people that make you happy. I've been thinking this since I heard it and it's working, mainly because I've been so busy saying yes to everything, also I passed my bike test 2 days ago so 👊🏻✊🏻 been a long time coming 😁
There is a connection between owning a tiny amount = genuine happiness and owning too much = unhappiness there has been loads of studies documented on that. The question is how do you detach yourself from the addiction of owning too much stuff?
I've always found living too your means works for me, I only buy/own what I can afford, I don't max out on a mortgage for a big house that i don't need just for the sake of showing off, I'm not financed up to my eyeballs on cars, bikes, watches etc for the same reason. And I'm happy for it I have few worries in life.
I can't even imagine what being too warm feels like RN. Warm dry roads? Never!
Love the videos
Quality episode Chris! Chin strap and visor fiasco is so relatable haha 😂.
Knox amongst others do some nice CE mesh gloves…For summer touring I have them together with their mesh trousers and a Klim mesh Jacket. Much more comfy than big expensive Goretex touring suits. Just take a set of Scott waterproofs to put over them for those wet days…also if it’s a bit chilly ..to stop the wind👍
