On the hottest day of 2023 my BMW F800ST broke down as I headed back to rural \Warwickshire from deepest Devon. I was on the A31 in the middle of The New Forest. I sat waiting for the AA (they didn't turn up, and after 7 hours I had to arrange recovery myself at a cost of £600). While waiting a lady motorcyclist stopped as she had noticed me there twice when passing, and after a brief chat she went and fetched me water, food, and a few sweets! She refused to accept a single penny. This is a great example of what generally makes being 'a biker' so special. Never got this ladies name, but if she is reading this, "you are an angel".
I've had so many moments with helpful bikers, they are the softest kindest community I've ever met! A real example of don't judge a book by it's cover!
Love your sense of adventure! Also, your sense of adventure worries me just a little!!!! So glad you ended up OK though.(assuming you must have done in the end?) Really enjoy your videos and looking forward to seeing how you escaped. Ride Safe.
Hopefully in the next episode, Pascal comes along with his empty jerry can to help support the bike (rofl) I would have been very tempted to drag the back brake all the way down the grass ski slope... then wonder how the hell I'm getting back out again. So look on the bright side Saffy, you make better choices than me!
Honestly Saffy, you're on the road to becoming a legend. Every other Moto adventurer riding off tarmac wimps out and gets a adventure bike with big knobby tires. That's not to mention that most people heading to a ski area chose the less challenging option of bringing skis or snowboards 😂. I was starting to imagine some new extreme challenges like riding rocket to the summit of Mt Everest, or traversing the Amazon jungles, or racing the Dakar rally, but then remembered. No, these are Saffy's adventures. What ever adventure you chance upon next will never fail to entertain & amaze. Thank you Saffy for taking us along. 😊
Always walk ahead - if it looks dodgy, it may just well be. If you can't see a clear path, it's always better to stop, get off and go for a bit of an exploration. You can often find lines and pathways to better prep yourself for the committed run.
@@SaffySprocket u will open up a million replies as everyone has different ideas of kit - budget - thermal v cooling v waterproofing .I m a firm believer in heated gear as it reduces layers means less weight less tiredness

@@SaffySprocket I should have specified I had no knowledge about off-road riding until I started watching another channel Brake Magazine, as most of my 30 years of riding was on sports bikes
why I love my f750gs and my goretex gear, plenty of protection from the elements and a comfortable ride in any weather with the heated clothing when needed. money well spent on all accounts, safe riding saffy xoxo
@Saffy Sprocket it is true 👍 I've been in some of the worst weather and was bone dry and warm after hours of riding, felt fresh when getting off the bike, makes a massive difference in how you feel, look at getting yourself a maplefire or jetboil, coming from the military and using mess tins and the pain of heating water and food, they make cooking easier and quicker when camping.
I can say you are pretty brave. Riding like that with such bad weather is quite difficult for most of riders.. Anyway the gravel road was awesome :D Please share the track!!
Haha, you were quite lucky with that logging road not to meet an angry forester, hunter or hiker. Normally those are absolutely totally 100% off limlts for motorized private traffic, by law in Germanyy. When mountainbikes came up there was even an idiotic discussion if those might use them. You might however have the advantage of being a charming woman on a road bike that just got lost and the guy shouting at you is your hero for saving you. If you are a good actor and can produce a few tears of desperation then everything will be fine. Doesn’t work for old grumpy guys like me! 🤣 Those road are not that bad at once you learn the basic skills and differences to riding on tarmac. Here i Sweden we have tens of thousands of kilometers of unpaved roads and it‘s those bringing you to the nicest (tent) spots. My local BMW club offers „off pavement“ training for all kinds of bikes, not sure if you can find a similar training in the UK. Just be careful with those gras strips in the middle, they can be much more slippy than the two tire tracks, covered in gravel and sand!
You do love getting into some scrapes. Hindsight is wonderful, but I'd have walked my exit plan / route first before getting stuck. Can't wait to see your escape and further adventures. 😊
@Saffy Sprocket also, if you ever come across obstacles on trails that are just a little too big to roll over, look round for loose branches or stones to help the wheel roll over it. Pick up a hand chain saw for your tool roll ideal for clearing small branches blocking trails it has the added benefit of warming you up. You do carry a puncture kit?
I have a vision: I see a woman with long blond hair, silly glasses and a beautifull smile on an odd motorcycle. It looks a little bit like a camel - I think they call it "adventure bike" - and the young lady is riding through brake regardless and full throttle. CIouds of dust are marking her way..... I probably shouldn´t have that much wine yesterday. Great video! Love from Bavaria!
Saffy, I have to have a drink before I watch your videos, you shred my nerves. You need three additions in your life, an Adventure motorcycle. Some off road training, and some Gortex clothing. But you are so entertaining I just have to watch you. Thank you.
Gonna take my Stelvio to europe this year , either Spain,Andora,France or Moto GP @ Sachenring & Assen via the Nurburg ring. Your vid's are helping the motovation big time. Just gotta make my mind up 🤔
Just a question, why not walk the route first? 🤣🤣🤣. Bet there was an easier way back on 50 yards further. It’s easy to call it when I’m watching sat on my arse in front of the telly. 😎😎
Checked the video again now: Interesting: normally all those logging roads have some sign at the beginning stating that it's prohibited for motorized private traffic (the round one, red ring, white in the middle, most times with motorcycle and car symbol. So it might be actually legal to drive on it! Just the open barrier is a bit strange! 🙂
I am wondering if you should be called Saffy Crazy Sprocket. That would have been a concern for me running out of petrol on the motorway, but your guardian angel came to your rescue. Take care and ride safe. 😊👍🏍
Did you set out to make motorcycle touring and camping to look as miserable and uncomfortable as possible? If so, well done you’ve succeeded. If not, what is the point of your videos?
I spent a very enjoyable week in that exact area last summer on the bike, needless to say we found it easier to walk those forest routes to see the sights 😉
If those Road Skin jeans are as comfortable to rest your head on as they are wearing to ride, then they'll be better than any pillow! Wish I'd moved over to them ages ago! Hearing you say you got "a little bit bored" certainly didn't help my anxiety levels as a viewer! You definitely live by your "stay crazy" motto! 😄 Not sure what level worry I got to at the end when I saw you had to try passing that rock! 😕 Please, while you're staying crazy, please do your best to stay somewhere close to safe too.
I love RoadSkins! They're such a fab product! I love being able to look a little more presentable but still able to jump on a bike! They're super super handy when luggage is right like jumping on a plane!
@@SaffySprocket They definitely look better than the Oxford ones I had before, along with being so much more comfortable! (not knocking those ones though, they certainly do the job they're intended for!) Was only because I happened to hit the bike show on Good Friday, so got deal of the Millennium on the AAA rated ones that I got some, but wouldn't hesitate paying the price for another pair, should I need them.
Have figured out, what dual sport/adventure bike to get? It’s quite obvious from your comments that it would fit your desires, and adventurous spirit better. Don’t forget to get some training for off pavement riding, it will make you safer, and much more confident. Cheers from northern British Columbia.
I'm working on it 😅 buying a new motorbike isn't an easy decision 😅 I've been sitting on a few in the shops, waiting for that magic spark moment with a bike
Are you leaning to dual sport or an adventure bike. Make sure what ever it is, you are able to pick it up yourself. Big rock moto on TH-cam has two excellent comparison video for new and used adventure bikes that are worth watching.
Question....did you have some of your space food left when you got back from your monster trip....? I think you took for like 50 days of dryed food....😉😁
Ski Sunday with Saffy. Sounds like you should have gone back to the campsite, put the tent back up and slept in 'till 3pm, followed by an afternoon drinking session. However, that wouldn't have been very Sprocket, now would it. Good job that the grizzly bears were still hibernating! (Or maybe off skiing?)
hello Saffy, i still think you need to look at the Honda nc75x, that's definitely my next bike, gives a little more offroad capability, as i have also opened my you tube channel for motovlogging, love your videos, keep them coming.
Saffy, I've said this before, you need an adventure bike!! Go and test the new CF Moto 800 Touring and make a video of it. I think it would suit you down to the ground!!
Well done Saffy you make a lot of bikers look soft, me included who rarely get further than the coast on a weekend, you rock girl because you took the time effort and shared it 😋🤗🥰
@@SaffySprocket Staffy. I was 11 when my uncle taught me to ride his 125 Bantom along a gravel road next to a brook. Consentrate he said as I pulled off. Followed by don't turn left or right depending which way I went because if I did, spolish! The first few times I was shatting myself. And did he know it! Happy days girl 😊👌.
Kin'ell mate you are one gutsy bird!! I laughed out loud when I saw the ski jump that my missus asked me what I was watching. I hope you got through the gap without injury. Amazing but don't risk your life just for good You Tube content. Your vids are the easiest to watch on t'interweb x
A little suggestion in case you find yourself in a simular situation. Before attempting to ride the bike out of "that trap", you could explore the intended route on foot and assess the terrain and options.
Hey what are you like 🤦♀️ if it can go wrong it does 🤷♀️😂 love you channel sooo much fun 👍 Oh and by the way I think you look really cute in your little blue Beani maybe short hair suits you 😮😂 ride safe & Enjoy till the next 🏍💨 Marty

I loved my time living in the black forest. Lahr (military brat). I so wish I could make it back their for a motorcycle tour with my zx14. It truly was one of the best places to live back in the late 80's.
@@SaffySprocketI learned to downhill in the swiss alps. I was in high school at the time. So we had what was called European destination trips. So the school would shut down for an additional week and depending on the grade you where in there choices to where you would go. So for a couple of years I went on a school trip into the alps for skiing (amongst some other things we did). Pretty well all paid by the military. Us military brats did get some great perks.
I studied in Germany during my undergraduate, I got a European grant to go. I remember destination week :D it's how I also learnt to skii. I went to uni just below the black forest although regrettably I wasn't into motorcycles back then

Well done saffy . I know some bmw gsa riders that won't even tackel that trail but you did it on a sports bike you should be very proud
😂 they may be wiser to avoid it 😂😂😂
A little suggestion in case you find yourself in a simular situation. Before attempting to ride the bike out of "that trap", you could explore the intended route on foot and assess the terrain and options.
A few people said this 😅 I'll know for next time now 😂 lesson learnt
least dramatic hook in the end :P
I noticed I had my hand in a fist as I was rooting for you, you really go to strange places
I go where the dopamine flows 😂
Oh your guardian angel is definately with you on this trip! 😁👍 What an awesome man! (biker) 😉
I think so too!
Whilst I greatly admire your sense of adventure, why oh why do you take such risks when all alone
I've seen people get attacked in bright daylight surrounded by people, whether you're alone or not, life comes with risks :)
Never a dull moment😄⛽🏍
It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me 😂🎶

I loved my time living in the black forest. Lahr (military brat). I so wish I could make it back their for a motorcycle tour with my zx14. It truly was one of the best places to live back in the late 80's.
South Germany is stunning. Did you ever go skiing?
@@SaffySprocketI learned to downhill in the swiss alps. I was in high school at the time. So we had what was called European destination trips. So the school would shut down for an additional week and depending on the grade you where in there choices to where you would go. So for a couple of years I went on a school trip into the alps for skiing (amongst some other things we did). Pretty well all paid by the military. Us military brats did get some great perks.
I studied in Germany during my undergraduate, I got a European grant to go. I remember destination week :D it's how I also learnt to skii. I went to uni just below the black forest although regrettably I wasn't into motorcycles back then
What a nice man Pascal was helping our damsel in distress.
Saffy and her best laid plans lol 🫢
Pascal is a legend 😆
