I don’t know where I’m heading but it will probably be good.. come along for the ride. ⛰️🏍️
Here's what an "Easy" Trial Looks Like. Trials For Beginners!
How do you get more people into trials? With events like this! It can be intimidating and I think that puts loads of people off coming and competing.
This is a great little series that catered to beginners to clubman level, perfect for a huge amount of us.
So enjoy our afternoon out at Bracken Rocks!

I'd never really considered joining the TRF but when I heard about the Green Road Map it got me thinking it could be exactly what I needed! So check out my little afternoon ride out after using the website to figure out a new route. Enjoy! JW

Alpinestars Bogota Pro Jacket | Winter Ride Review! It was FREEZING
That was fun too watch, as someone who has always loved trials, but never ridden it, this was good insight on what to expect. Vowing to get a trials bike in 25.
Honestly do it! You’ll love it 🙌🏻
Can you convert this to carry a passenger or the subframe is not strong enough? Love the seat on this thing. Very dense, high quality foam which will help your butt outrun the tank.
I don’t think so unfortunately! The seat is fantastic though 🙌🏻
Great work and ninja reflexes :) Enjoyed the watch!
Cheers mate, it made me move 😂 Really appreciate it!
I’m married to my 2006 KTM 640 Adventure .... But if I was tempted away by a mistress ... that AJP PR7 .... what a temptation 🙂❤️
Haha! Those 640 adventures are really cool! You wouldn’t be disappointed 🙌🏻😂
Woah! Nice catch on the camera there xD the bike looks so stunning, both design, and the titanium pipe
Thank you! It made me move 😂
Loud pipes save lives 😂
Congratulations on your bike James. Your bike sounds awesome. Happy travels always.
Thankyou 🙌🏻
What a machine... Spectacular
How is the geometry compared to the previous models? Like the 2022?
Sorry mate, I never had the chance to ride one to compare!
please, what tyres do you have on the bike?
Michelin Trackers. Noisy on the road but they’ve been brilliant, I’ll probably replace them with the same again.
@@James_Rides thank you
Do these bobber’s have tubes or tubeless tyres,thanks if anyone reply’s 👍
Almost certain they’re tubeless
Best bike for Africa have 8000km of of road and it’s amazing
If you went from Claerwen Dam to Strata Florida via Teifi Pools, you were riding trails with no legal right for way. That Claerwen Dam road is a dead end for motor vehicles….
I don’t think we went on the trail that runs between the pools.. it went straight on and came out at Ffair Rhos?
@@James_Ridesyes that’s the one. When you get to the end of the Claerwen byway it becomes a bridleway (so not legal to ride) for a short period and there is then about 1km of track (also i think not legal to ride?) before you cross a ford and get to the UCR which then becomes tarmac and comes out at Ffair-Rhos. If you go onto bing maps and select the OS map you can see where it stops as a byway at the end of Claerwen
Thankyou! Such a minefield with this stuff.
@@James_Rides no problem. As you say it is a challenge. Such a great area 👍
Fancy a bit of this looks so much fun, but is it worth selling road bike for??
I think once you get into the “Adventure” game you start to see how many amazing places you can see and ride in. Road bikes just feel so limiting. Honest answer is you need both 😉
Knew you would like it, Did the whole of Strata florida then around the reservoir on our second day on our visit
Stunning place isn’t it!
excellent material, greetings from another part of Europe
Cheers brother 🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@James_Rides wide road Bro, always safely to your destination 😎
You can move the DMD2 tablet from one bike to another easily if you have a mount on each bike. I swap mine back a forth between my 690 and a Triumph Tiger Rally Pro all the time. Garmin is dead to me.
I did end up with a garmin I switch between the two.. so far so good. But I would say the DMD was REALLY good. Just the £1000 price tag 😩
Also live in the Peaks. Owned 2 PR7s, different eras. Great on paper. Great to ride. Too many design flaws once on the trails. Sold both 😔
It’s been good so far! Let’s see what a British winter does to it 😂
Whats the easiest way to cut the speaker recesses?
I literally gouged it out with a Stanley knife.. not the neatest but it did the job! A dremel would be a better option.
@James_Rides ha yeah same as my last helmet. Thought you may have had a bit more finesse than me hahaha. Cheers for the reply mate
@@wartdog345 There’s no finesse in my life pal 😂
@@James_Rides legend
Hey, James. We have reached out to you to follow up on the project. Can you reply our email
Very expensive bike , is not for all. 😢
Very.. and I probably wouldn’t recommend them unfortunately
Why wouldn't you recommend them? Reliability issues?
@@petermorgan3185 there’s been a few issues. All been resolved by the dealer but its still made me cautious.
@@James_Ridesmay you please further explain about the few issues you faced with
@@AndreyKuznetsoff All electrical issues. It had an early issue with a sensor then a battery issue. Both resolved by the dealer.
Fair play for doing this review … much appreciated.. I think I will invest in a pair … cheers
Almost a year later and some horrific wet and cold weather they’ve been spot on! Would definitely still recommend them 🙌🏻
I tested the PR7 few years back then chose the Husky701E instead. I fitted the RadeGarage rally tower and a comfort seat, which made it more expensive than the PR7, but no regret, I enjoyed my 701E for 14.000km on TET. Now riding a 500excf with just the comfort seat, already 10.000km without any issue. Changing oil after 10 to 20 days trips, like 2000 to 4000km . So lighter than 690/701/PR7, that I don't drop my bike anymore on very technical pathes. (Sure a better rider would not drop its 690/PR7)

I'm 70 and taking up trials again after a 50 year break, during which time I did drag racing, sprints, road racing solos and sidecars, and enduros. I'm doing my first practice day next Sunday on my 1976 Montesa, that I've rebuilt.
Hope you love it! Not quite the speed you’re used to 😂 The challenge is endless.
@@James_Rides Last trial I rode in was the 1974 Leamington Victory trial !
I test rode an old gas gas and felt it was horrible ! Snatchy and not user friendly - tried a Beta Evo and it was lovely - that’s what I am now looking for - also tried a Sherco and that was lovely and smooth too - Beta or Sherco for me
My beta is amazing.. I’ll be getting another!
"It says unsuitable for HGVs, not the right road for coming on a GS adventure then is it" That got a laugh out of me
Where’s that mate?
Reichel Track
Another fun video James. Use more cable ties!😂
Hi James. What was the problem with Ashe's bike as I am having issues with mine as well. love the content, keep it coming.
I think it ended up being a simple sensor but took some diagnosing.. hopefully he’ll have it back this week. Thanks mate 🙏🏻
Man what a life you’ve got
Nice bike! What is the weight? Had a Husky TE 610 and that was a pretty good bike.
Fully fuelled it’s 160kg 🙌🏻
I’d love to see a video of your favourite places for practice local 👍🏼
Great video, would have been good added on the end of the last one. If you get the chance again would be good to see the section set out and then how it is ridden 👍🏻
Great video Keep up the good work
Thankyou 🙏🏻
Brilliant job setting sections. Great trial 👍
Thankyou 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Great videos mate, what drone did you use btw?
Cheers mate! DJI Mini 3 Pro, did an amazing job in the wind
I want this bike in the worst possible way...ticks all the boxes for me. Not many in the States it seems, very few dealers, etc. Gonna get one in late winter, early spring one way or another.
I know exactly how you feel! Hope you manage to get your hands on one 🙌🏻
Have recently just found this channel after getting into trials , after watching a few of your videos I got myself a gas gas txt pro 125 and can’t wait to get out and ride my local tracks in santon downham, love the videos keep it up
Coming on leaps and bounds mate 👌🏽
Thanks mate! 🙏🏻
Fun video!
Appreciate it 🙏🏻
Awesome looking Bobber. Have you considered the forward foot controls, either ORN or Wunderkind, as you mentioned previously that it was a tad uncomfortable?
Thanks mate! It’s actually now gone.. I did consider it but didn’t like the look up front, felt like it took away the clean lines of it.
Always interesting James
💯
Well, that's sealed it - I'm doing that trip up the west coast I'd been planning on doing for so long (before the NC500 was even a thing). Going to take in Mull, Skye and up to Tongue, looping back via the Cairngorms. Planned for this Sept., but other factors may yet put a block on that. Perhaps spring '25 if not this month...
That’s exactly what I would do if I went again now!! Infact.. see you in 25 💪🏼
Great Video. Having done trials up to 10 years old I have now got the bug again… 34 years later. For me this means dusting off Dad’s old twin shock and looking to buy my kid an Oset. A brilliant sport. Up in North Yorkshire we are spoilt for choice pure Lampkin country.
Thankyou! 🙏🏻 I’m gonna try and do some trials further afield through this winter! Enjoy, keep your feet up 💪🏼
what the rought price OTR price. i dont see it on the UK dealer site. cheers
Pretty much 10.5k 👍🏻
Thank you for the great advice and detailed insight into the sport.
You’re welcome! Hope you got something from it 🙌🏻
