  • Episode 5- The Secret to how I survived Oman's toughest Offroad on an oversized KLR
    A continuation of episode 4....I make my way through the second half of wadi Bani Awf in Oman. I figure out how to combat my anxiety of not being a skilled offroad biker whose by herselff and I finally reach the top of the hajar and do a small victory dance. But I still have a fair distance to go and some more off road if I want to make it to the top of Jebel shams before dark and try to catch an epic sunset !!
    I go through the details on a map of my route so far and I give some insightful tips of how I managed to survive the 2 passes in one day.
    PLEASE NOTE BEFORE YOU COMMENT: I do not claim to be a profession adventure rider, however, I am an experienced Adventurer and never let anything stop me. The bike was a borrowed bike, yes it was too tall, but this was the only option I had if I wanted to do my trip and I never let anything stop me. Same goes with the oversized helmet, It was all I had. Do I know the risks, of course I do. But this is how I do things. I grab life by the balls and I look forward to the experience and just take it as it comes. This is how you learn, grow, and stay humble.
    RE: Anxiety. I've suffered from a severe anxiety "disorder" for over 10 years now and depression for 18 years. If anyone has questions or would like any suggestions, please feel free to shoot me a message.

    As an experienced rider of over 30 years, I give you BIG props for doing this on your own. You don't know how many times I had to laugh at your obvious inexperience in off road biking and wished I was there to show you how to ride so you didn't hurt yourself. :)

    Just found your whole trip series today and have watched them all and am loving it. Love your sense of adventure, filming and un-filtered commentary. Digging how you make mistakes on the bike but learn from them and get amped over things. Way to go! Can't wait for the rest of the series.
    PS: Moto gloves are perfect potholders, one of the great things about moto-camping :)
    PPS: Damn this series makes me want to buy a DRZ.

    You have enormous lady balls. Very inspirational. I plan on riding from outside Toronto to New Brunswick, PEI, and Nova Scotia later this year, and your videos and bravery are a huge encouragement. I've also suffered from depression and anxiety and motorcycling has made a world of difference in terms of giving me confidence and bringing more joy to life.

    This wadi-run may just be the coolest thing I have ever seen!
    To just say "Let's go" with total dedication!
    It's not about the actual challenge of the bike and the road, this is not, nor du you claim it to be, a Sibirian "Long way round" kind of drive.
    It's a question of pure bravery and "Can do" mentality.
    Just like the Vince brothers and friends on Mondo Enduro.
    You are just so cool, can't wait to watch more.

  • @67cckelly
    @67cckelly 7 років тому

    What you did is the very definition of ADVENTURE!, not properly prepared, doing your own thing without the right gear and on your own, Also known as FREEDOM! Wouldn't want my kids to do it but almighty respect to you Rosie. Have done similar by land and by sea, the true adventure for me is often removed when you join a club, with all the Nerdy professionals dictating what you can and can't do. Respect little sister and glad to see you got back safe, Keep it up and you can become a nerdy pro in the near future!

    You're amazing, you have so much courage! I've been trying to work on overcoming my fears lately so I bought a motorcycle again (after not riding for 20+ years), so I've been watching a bunch of motorcycle videos, and stumbled across all yours. I admire what you've made of your life journey! I wouldn't even know where to start to get to where you are, but it looks fun and rewarding. I look forward to trying new things to conquer my fears. I grew up very shy too, I do my best to blend in, have overcome some of it over the years, but I still have anxieties that are with me today. I hope to break my barriers going into the future, and your videos are very inspirational, to demonstrate that anything is possible if you believe, and we can form ourselves into who we desire to be, once we place the fear factor behind us and have a little faith.
    I done some traveling in other countries, off the beaten path before (not all adventurous like you on a bike), but I got enough of a taste of it that I can totally relate to the wonderful feelings you get when meeting and touching people's hearts from around the world.. I would like to think that someday when I'm good enough rider again, I could have the courage to go travel the world on a bike..
    Anyways, keep up your awesome trooper attitude, and keep smiling like you do, it is wonderful for all, to see your example of how humans can live happily together on Earth, across all cultures.

Your fearless Spirit reminds me of a U2 song from years past..I do hope you "find what you're looking for"..to live your life unlike the others can draw a little criticism from time to time.. don't allow that to undercut your path. I understand and share your passion..maybe the secret to really living begins with the power of right believing. Stay Strong!
