Heat and offroading does not go very well together. I did learn that this summer.

Thanks for the tip! Best regards!

If in doubt... throttle out! You snooze, you loose 😂

@@skulijakobsson5116 I've tried :D :D

Thank you for that!

MotoZ RallZ.

@@nemoltu Tractionator Rallz? If so mayby I gona buy them. Seems to be super

@@christianchris1434 Yep, that's the ones. I love them for long adventures, watch the air pressure if you are gonna ride some tarmac at high speed.

If I had to choose now, I would never go to Greece TE in the summer. Too hot and way too challenging as you say this time of the year. Thank you for sticking with my channel for so long!

Personally I don't drive much in the summer. ☀️ Bicycle istead🚴 I drive mc reset every year as long as there is no ice and snow.❄️⛄

@@AdvenjarBinks The reason I went to Greece was to get a new gas tank from Aurora Rally in Athens. I ordered it way back in April and decided to go there on my bike and get it swapped by them. My initial plan was to go there in September, but I was forced to take my vacation in the middle of July and ended up going through this heat wave. TET routes were just to get a little more fun out of this trip.

@@nemoltu I see. We always find a slight reason to do something fun and even stupid :) I guess you're back already., Good luck anyways.

@@AdvenjarBinks Yes, I am back, and way too busy to edit my videos, but trying to do it in every free minute I have.

Thank you! You too! And thanks for watching, my little adventure. Cheers!

World Raid is an awesome bike even if I would go for the extreme version :) For my Ducati, I would go back to the standard seat instead of this, rally version, comfort level is very noticeable. But yes, I love the engine and the power it delivers when I need to have fun. The story changes in the forest roads, then I would look to the Tenere. The wind protection is quite good for me, but that also has to do with my Klim helmet. It does not buffet at all, but it was worse with a different helmet, I would say that depends on the design of the helmet's peak. I don't feel the engine vibrations, maybe because I am used to 2 cylinder bikes. It's not as smooth as 4 4-cylinder sport tourer for sure :), but it's not as rough as my AJP PR7 either.

Hey! Thank you for stopping by!

@@nemoltu 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you!

Lietingam vakarui pašildyti :)

Thank you!

I don't wanna comment on that much, but why did you buy it a second time? And I am not asking cause I disagree with your comment, just interesting why?

I went there for some business reasons, but I always knew what a country Greece is. I would need way more than a month to explore it. Sadly I had to come at such a hot time of the year. I am still unsure why I went to where I was in this part of my trip, but I may have missed something or was not given the correct coordinates.

Hey, thank you for reaching! I'm done with my trip and had a blast even though it was so hot and almost unrideable. Now just finishing the edits of the last parts and living with the memories while doing so. Thanks again!

Talking about reception :D I did not plan this trip and I had only 2 days short call to prepare for it and I still was driving both days to reach my motorcycle. So I did not know anything about the area I was traveling to. So, comically enough I was going in just direction, not destination most of the days. In my younger days, I crossed USA with the paper maps a few times and survived :) Beers and wine -a good one, but bears are a different kind of adrenalin if you have them in your tent 😄😄. Thank you!

Thank you!

Blin... nu senstu ir as 😃😃

@xrhst0s2114 nooo, I did not know where to go...

@@jerry2wheels618 Thanks again!

Thank you! 1290 hugh? that is a different kind of beast :)

I know it's not easy to see how steep that road was, but you could tell by how much the bike slid when I was braking Another thing over here I would always ride in a standing position,, but I was holding the remote control for my drone, on my lap, cause the heat made to unglue itself from the handlebar mount. Sag with an upgraded stiffer spring was good, I adjusted it before I left for the trip. Rebound so so, and compression was horrible.

Hey, I got it from shift-tech-carbon out of the USA at that time, but now there are loads of different manufacturers making them. And, to answer your question- no, I did not have any problems with it. There is a video on my channel about the installation of it if you wanna take a better look. Cheers!

I hear ya on that. It was regrettable to see all the trees gone. But Mother Nature is claiming it back.

Hey! I hope you are getting milder temperatures now 👌Greetings from Hammerfest, Norway!

@@nemoltu yes it's better these days with some rain.. i hope i could help you when you where here i my country

@@Enduroxoriates I met really awesome people when I was visiting your country, I even managed to get a ride with one fellow rider, from Kavala.Thanks much and keep the TET open, please!

Thank you! Yeah, this year I learned what a hot day means :D 28- That sounds like a good line to draw. This chain is still from Finland and the sprockets are an OEM. held perfectly and the bike has 36K kilometers on the clock as of now,. The brake pads are holding, but the rear brake disk is as nice as the infinity sign :D :D D:

Buvo ten nuotykių, bet viskas gerai, video eina, reiškias gyvas :) Dėkui, kolega!

Later in the trip, I did hit 40 and that was something faaaaar out of my comfort zone, for sure. At least I learned what I don't want to do in the summertime while attending the awesome land of Greece. Cheers!

@@nemoltu I can imagine... Greece is amazing in late May/early June, it is warm, around 25c, sunny and the scenery is green or late September, early October. You can have a swim in both cases after a day of riding. July-August is a pain to travel, sweating with even the lightest moto jacket. I mean you ve experienced it. Best of luck to your travels!

Hi, I usually ask in gas stations or coffee shops. Sometimes I fill up in the water sources that are marked as drinking water places. I'm not very picky with my water. No, I don't use water filters. In all my years of traveling, I have never had any problems with drinking water and, I hope that will stay this way in the future. Thanks for watching!

@@nemoltu Thanks for reply! This is great to hear, wish you lots of safe and happy travels in the future! 👍

Sure, my friend. It's pinned. The water quantity is the most underestimated thing in hot weather riding. I always have at least 5 liters of water and when it goes down to 2, I turn to the nearest point to resupply. Have a good cooler season in Greece, Nick!

I would never ride a bike without long pants and armor when I'm traveling. Even on this trip, I low-sided my bike in the Mountains of Romania on the way back. Thank god I was wearing my protection cause my Mosko Moto pants are a perfect example of the garbage now :). But I hear ya and now I definitely know what you are talking about. Btw, my jacket is a really good fit for these conditions, only I wish it was white in color. It's all mesh. Last year I crossed all of Scandinavia and Europe mostly via forest roads, pitching the tents wherever I would find a spot, so I feel you on the mosquitos topic, they are not a joy anywhere in the Swedish or Finnish forests. I think, instead of getting the air con I would rather go at a different time of the year. But this time it was a business trip, so It turned out like that.

@@nemoltu Im at the traffic lights in Cordoba Southern Spain after a horrendous camping night beside a stagnant pond full of mosquitos. I have just ridden for hours through the desert on my HONDA CBR600rr and as I pull up to traffic lights I look down. The bikes computer says as a bead of sweat trickles down from my forehead. Its 47 degrees outside. Im wearing my leather jacket, gloves and my black RUKKA full length trousers. Looking down at them I read in light blue the writing saying SUPER COOL. ha ha ha ha. There were anything but supercool. Theres no one around either except one car to my right. The lights change and I am off. The heat from my bikes engine is oppressive. I have to ride fast but then as I reached 140 mph the heat is still there. Its not going away and the engine heat is even hotter. OMG this is insane. A couple more miles down the rd I see McDonalds. Its packed. I know why. Do you know why? They have air conditioning. The CORDOBA village FOLK seem to live in McDonalds in the summer.

Wow, so sad I could not get that info when I was there (I'm editing videos right now, but it was filmed at the beginning of this month or the end of July), but I have plans to come back at a different time of the year sometime in the future. I will definitely come back to this comment and let you know how it was. Thank you so much, Kostas, and enjoy the upcoming gold leaves season!

@@nemoltu keep in my mind that im not overreacting.. If you ask me for Thassos island , i said , yeap , its nice , but not special , nothing unique ... Samothraki is an island with a strong character , if i can use that word. Another island with character , are 2 basicaly ,are Paxoi and Antipaxoi , but its a different story there .. Cheers !

@@kostasrestas You dropped the first comment just before I was getting ready to get some food. And the way you described the food part of it made me run for it, not walk. I will check it out one day for sure! You've got me curious about the Paxoi and Antipaxoi... :)

Thank you! Awesome to see that it reached even the continent of Australia! Cheers from Norway!

Agree with you for sure, just this time I had to bring my DesertX to Athens, for the new tank fitment. So i desided to have a little fun on the way.

I sure did, but I was not sure if it was that much fun, when I was boiling my nuts off at that moment :D :D But, now I can agree with you for sure :D

Real adventure spirit👍

Ktm 790 or even 690 would have been a perfect bike for that section of Greece TET, but yes, DesertX is also capable of it for sure. I did that in way too harsh conditions but I would love to do it sometime in the fall if there would be no rain. In the rain that would have been near to impossible. For me this type of adventure is not about the distance, is more about the experience and overcoming the obstacles. If you are into the same, then yes, DesertX is a really fun bike for travel. Thanks for coming along!

I hear ya :D Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! Enjoy your day! 🤜🤛

4:45 i mean

You bet! 🫢

Had to learn it in a hard, but fun way :) Thanks!

@@WikstromADV Thank you, so much 🤜🤛

@@762851 I ride a DesertX as a second bike. What do you mean by "flush"? Sorry the video was made a few months ago...

@@in2ADV Thanks much! Australia!! My dream continent to get to on the bike one day 😍
