- Test rode the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 - what an amazing bike! Other than the Road King and the Deluxe, I haven't ridden any other bikes. This was my first experience of an Adventure Touring bike, I loved it! Unfortunately things didn't go quite to plan. It was super windy an unfortunately Brian's Audio was useless. Enjoy and Please a comment. AND PLEASE SHARE

Got to love these 2, surely the BEST MOTO VLOGGERS on YT!!! Brian, awesome editing and love the Music!. Caroline, what can I say, you are such an incredible woman, funny, intelligent, witty, and beautiful (sorry Brian). Well done in getting back on the bike, glad you are ok! Most bloggers wouldn't post this, but you are real and genuine. I loved every minute! Ignore any idiots that make nasty comments, you are brilliant!
Thanks Paul! Appreciate the comment, means a lot. Thanks for watching and ride safe!
Aww thanks Paul :) xx
Sure do they are great 👍
@@BunnyKingHogs Hey Bunny you need to work on your Low Speed Skills . Here in the USA a Retired MOtorcycle Cop has a Training School. If you can't come to the USA you can buy his Training Videos.. You need to set up some cones in a big parking lot and learn these riding tequnics.. It has to do with riding the rear brake while you slipp the clutch a little bit.. Also practice in a parking lot where you don't have to be worried about being run over by a car..
th-cam.com/video/yjMKjVXcfGo/w-d-xo.html
@@BunnyKingHogs Here he talks about what the classes entail...
www.ridelikeapro.com/collections/upcoming-classes?page=1 You can purchase the Videos and practice in a parking lot.. Maybe plastic milk jugs filled with water instead of orange safety cones..
If there was ever an advert for full face helmets, that slow mo part is all you need to see.
Amen, that’s the first thing I thought when I saw her face bounce off the deck like that
Loved the bike! Was gutted at what happened and didn't want anyone to know but mistakes happen and thankfully nothing serious, just not knowing the bike and kicking it into Neutral. It was so windy that day, Brian's Audio was not usable and we weren't able to fly the drone sadly. Hopefully you enjoy the video, please leave a comment and would be very grateful if you could share it to your biking groups. As for the watermark, had a few people taking our images and using them for themselves. Thanks for all the support guys, we are growing slowly!
Yeah good thing you added that watermark
Some channels gotta show up soon asking if they can use the footage
Great video guys,loved it
Sucks that you fell,I had my 1st moto crash last year in September,not too serious but still worse than yours
Hope you're feeling better now,take care ❤️
✌😘
Enjoy your videos.. falls happen to all of us.. just makes you a better rider... glad your ok
Glad you got back up and rode her back. That was a bad fall for you and happy your ok. Just getting to know the bike still and that corner came up suddenly. Knowing what happen and it went into neutral, no matter how small of a bike you where riding the same results would of happened around that curve on a hill. Your a strong lady‼️ first time viewer..Thanks for sharing..
Greetings from Montana USA
Well done Caroline for putting the drop on the vlog it show us subscribers your honesty and integrity 👏it happens to the best of us so don’t beat yourself up about it.
Great vlog and a very enjoyable watch 👍
Well done Carolyne for getting back on and getting it home. Every day is a day for learning and riding bikes, especially riding bikes.
So true! Thanks Ollie, appreciate the kind words!. Thanks for watching!
I had been toying with the idea of an open face helmet after watching Stuart Fillingham's video effectively saying there is no statistical evidence people hit their faces in a crash. Well thanks for being so brave to publish your experience of this. Forget the statistics, just seeing this video has made up my mind that it's just not worth it. Full face all the way:). Great videos you two!
Awesome!! And no bugs in your teeth :) xx
Well, I think we proved him wrong HAHA. Speed is not always the enemy
I have seen a graphic with various helmet regions and percentage of hits and the face front and sides are the highest probability. Makes sense as we ride facing the direction of travel.
Its great that you both “Keep it real”, much more entertaining than some of the (over) edited vloggers out there Guys -Thanks, 👍
Thanks so much! She was nervous about the backlash but we appreciate the support, Thanks for watching Royston
Honest mistake. It's best to avoid changing gears in a corner, especially around that 1-N-2 gear range. It's easy to miss that when your parked, cornering just makes it that much harder. Glad you're okay.
I've dropped my R1200GS at least 8 times - most often because my foot slipped out when I stopped on dirt or gravel, once on wet leaves. Lost it once turning on gravel that turned out to be deeper than it looked - the front wheel lost grip - and down I went. If you want to feel better about dropping an adventure bike - watch the Long Way Round.
Thanks Vincent!
You are right about the gears. I’m just so used to my bike which is a real pain to get into neutral and I don’t worry about accidental neutral.
I’m told that most riders drop their bikes from time to time but some tell me they’ve never dropped theirs. I’ll continue to drop but I hopefully always at low speeds like this xxx
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 OK, I'll tell you that I've never dropped mine!
Oh , it's easy to lie when you can't see me laughing.
I've just had flashbacks to at least half a dozen times when I just felt like a total dork! The worst was some industrial lorry car park out on an industrial estate between Dartford and Woolwich on a wet afternoon in February when the engine of my bike trapped my foot. I was unhurt, no damage to the bike - but I couldn't get my foot out. I was lying in a puddle in the rain! I must have tapped SOS out on the horn 10 or 20 times with no response.
I was there to pick up a package.
I had been about 10 minutes on the ground when someone came looking for me, wondering why it took me so long to get one end of the huge warehouse to the other; I had already asked for the package at the wrong end of the warehouse!
Thanks Richard :) Gosh that sounds terrifying! Imagine if you were in the middle of nowhere!
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 Those who say they haven't dropped their bikes are either lying or not riding enough.
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 There's two kinds of bikers who have "never dropped theirs" - liars and garage-queen keepers.
We have a saying over here; there are two kinds of riders, the ones that have fallen down and the ones that are going to fall down. Every time I have fallen off my bike has been a tight, slow speed, switchback turn like that. Don't feel alone and don't feel incompetent. You got back on it and rode it home, that's what counts.
Thanks Leon, I just feel like such a plonker every time I mess up. Thanks for the encouragement xxx
Thanks Leon, yup slow speeds and tight corners! She did well, she took a knock but got straight back on it! Thanks for watching
Dropped a Ducati Monster on a test ride. Cost me a new lever and gear change. £238 Saved me £10,000. I was the 3rd one to drop it and did the least damage i was told so i was happy. Had a go on my dream bike and realised it wasn't for me, too tall and heavy, plus my bike felt brilliant afterwards on the way home.
@@carolynemoolenschot2907
Dropping a bike is not messing up in my books if everyone walks from it. Part and parcel of riding.
A guy that throws his Harley on the ground to rescue his queen is definitely a keeper, your a lucky woman, Brian is a hero .
Yup he is! Thanks for watching
Caroline you are amazing.
You took a hard hit to your head. Then you got back on the bike, and rode.
I know it was scary for your husband to see it happen and helpless to help.
Both of you are amazing ridders.
I held my breath until you got up. thank you both for all the hard work and the beautiful videos .
Thank you for such a lovely comment, Gary :) xxx
Thanks for the support Gary. Glad you enjoyed the video
I saw one of these in the flesh for the first time today, it actually looks soooo much better than I thought. You seemed to fall in love with it though, a false neutral is so common, it's only the hill that screwed you over. It must have taken so much confidence to get back on it, you handled it so well. As a new subscriber I'm enjoying the content and it was nice to hear Brian talk more than normal at the end, he could see you was bummed by it and gave you great support. You guys are great to watch, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the lovely comment, Nick. Brian is a great support! And…he can pick up heavy bikes :) so I’ll keep him around for a bit longer.
You are right, it was a fun ride! But i honestly don’t think that I could pick the bike up on my own. Maybe I need to wear heels…
Thanks again xxx
As far as ADV bikes go, I do like the bike, has a bit more character compared to others. Not really my style though, definitely a bagger at heart. It was so unfortunate she hit neutral when she did. Thanks for watching!
Being a Harley-Davidson rider in America where wearing a helmet is optional I wondered why people need to wear a full face helmet you just convinced me to wear one, your face hit the ground hard so glad you had one please keep wearing it
Thanks Arthur, luckily we have to wear helmets here in England but I’m glad I have a full face one! I would have a lot less teeth right now if I didn’t.
Only injury on my face was a small cut lip from the microphone from our comms!
Definitely recommend them xxx
Thanks Arthur, it was at such low speed as well! Time for new helmets!
@Arthur I'm also an American rider with the same thought. After watching Carolyne take the really slow speed spill I think I'll hang my brain bucket up for a while. I have 2 really good full face helmets that came with my current Sportsters so I might as well give them a try. 🤷♂️
Indeed. American Harley guy here. All my riding buddies wear brain buckets and occasionally give my grief about my full-face helmet. I just tell them that my face is too pretty to risk losing, and that I understand why they don't bother protecting theirs. :)
That hit would have almost certainly put you in a coma without a helmet, and that´s from a standstill, imagine what happens when you´re going 60
Brian making the lift look easy....dude!
Cheers Mike!
At some stage we all drop our bikes it’s inevitable I think,Brian you’re a true gent dropping your bike to look out for your lady,I salute you Sir.
Carolyne you’re a trooper I say,you did the best thing getting straight back on the bike and riding it,cracking vlogs you pair keep them coming,Stu.
Thanks Stu :)
Yup, Brian was a star!
Cxxx
Thanks Bud, appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching
We have all been there Carolyne; the damn slow speed drop. I have to admit I felt a little bit sick in the stomach when you hit the ground (was perfect camera angle, mind you) and am so glad you are okay. Enjoy your beautiful Deluxe and ride safe.
Thanks David, it does get funnier the more you watch :) especially now I all recovered! Xxx
Thanks David, will try put it to a music video, should be a lot funnier HAHA.
It’s great watching your channel, so down to earth and a great laugh!!
I nearly did the same Carolyne on me Ducati Supersport S, exactly the same situation, mine was a false neutral and I just about saved it!
Top credit for taking out a bike like this, I looked at one and thought 2 big!
I just found your channel and absolutely love your candid take on riding.. it's been forever since I've ridden and would totally be in the same boat as you as far as dropping the bike and making little mistakes here and there.. it's all about experience.. the more you ride, the better you ride... and the more confidence you have.
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Loved the bike, was a bit too tall and neitral was very easy to find
That was a truly real appraisal of the bike. It showed the nitty gritty of what can happen and raised some negative points about the bike. It’s about time other vloggers told it like it is instead of going wow over every bike they review. There are few out there who are prepared or dare give an honest opinion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Mark! Xxx
How is her lack of experience in riding this bike a negative for the bike, a real appraisal of the bike, REALLY ! It was clearly her missing a gear that caused the fall, plus she waited too late to shift, should have shifted before the turn, not into. Totally rider error, she is a good sport, made a mistake and will learn from it. Now ride on and keep the smile.
I literally have tears in my eyes right now listening to the "bits" conversation.
HAHA, I was the same, pity you couldn't hear the audio. Thanks for watching Doug
It was an honest review :P
Good for you for getting back on and carrying on. Great job.. it’s a part of riding and learning. Thanks for sharing !!
Thanks Michael! Xxx
Absolutely! She was a trooper! Thanks for the support and watching the video
Having just came upon your channel and watched a few of your videos I honestly believe this is the bike for you, you were so confident on it up until the off.
That can happen to any of us at anytime and the most important thing was you got back on it and finished the ride RESPECT
Hi Norrie,
Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching. I really enjoyed the bike, it was super fun but the reality is that it is just too tall. There were times when we stopped that had Brian not been there I would not have been able to get back on the bike from the side stand position.
The fall was unfortunate, finding neutral in the corner.
@@BunnyKingHogs if you ever ride this style of bike again (first video I've ever seen of yours, so maybe you have); the easiest way to get on/off of an adventure style bike is to actually step up on the foot peg first, then swing your other leg over the bike. Gets you up a few inches and make it easier get your leg over, especially when there are panniers or other luggage on the back. Getting off is just the reverse, put the side stand down then stand up on the foot pegs and swing your right over. Here's a video example if my explanation didn't make any sense. th-cam.com/video/qruOW51NNdQ/w-d-xo.html Ride on!
Finally we get to see the clip , such a shame about the miss hap , glad your ok hope the lip is all ok now . You finally get a bike that can pack all the food and gear you need . Hope you guys keep up the adventures xxx
Thanks Minas! Yes! Love the storage. Dropping was just a stupid mistake :)
We shall continue to ride !! Xxx
Caroline, you ARE awesome. Your husband is a very fortunate man. I am glad you are alright after your fall. I fell and broke my thumb in a Harley Davidson learn to ride (Beginners) class, and your accident immediately reminded me of mine. After healing I went back a year later and completed the class and have now been riding (BMW) for six years. I am in the United States and enjoyed seeing your beautiful countryside. May you both always be safe and enjoy one another in life. I am now subscribed!
Thank you! Appreciate the wonderful comment.
well done n getting back on the bike, you guys are real and genuine... i dropped mine three times and still riding.
Thanks Juanito, appreciate the support. I never thought I would drop my bike at 6'4", but I have managed it a few times, it is so heavy once it goes beyond a certain point! Thanks for watching
Thank you!! Xxx
Glad to see you were OK. I can imagine that riding the Pan would be so different to riding your ST. The height would be so hard to get used to and those panniers raise the center of gravity. Well done Brian for being there at the fall and making sure she stopped and rested afterwards, so important. Glad you kept the crash in your vlog, so important to see all sides of riding, both good and bad, which encourages other riders to use safety equipment. Love your vlogs, we look forward to everyone you do, stay safe and keep riding that beautiful countryside of yours.
Thank you so much for the awesome comment!! Xx
Thanks Tex, appreciate the kind words and support. She was a trooper, determined to get back on the horse!
@@BunnyKingHogs sounds like a true biker, these ladies can be tough ones. Are you going to do a Wales trip?
Well done Carolyne. Bike was definitely too tall for you, well done on getting back on and riding home. Shows real courage! BRIAN, mate what a video. Well done!
Thanks Michael! It really wasn’t that bad, just my stupid thumb where I was tendon and nerve damage. It’ll be fine though :)
Xxx
Thanks Michael!
Not tall at all. Looks perfect to me. Not all of us has the privilege of being 6ft tall. I can never flat foot on any of my bikes, never ever, always tiptoes. Not sure about cruiser, never own one.
Caroline just want to say im impressed with you for getting back on the bike after a tumble, and to say im 66 years old and have been on and around bikes since i was 3 moths old , and i dropped my bike in the driveway last week , so you never stop learning or making mistakes .
Thx a lot for sharing. That’s super helpful for a lota riders. Pls continue sharing great content with us!
Thank you :)
Thanks God you are ok. That hit on the floor was hard, fortunately you were wearing a full face helmet!!! You did great Brian supporting her, your reaction was as it should be, focusing on Carolyne. Nice video editing, as always, you guys did amazing! Cheers from America.
Thanks Alex, should have caught both her and the bike LOL. Appreciate the support and commenting on the video. New Helmets coming which is good! Thanks for watching
Great video! First time watching your channel and thoroughly enjoyed the two of you and the review. THANK YOU for including the footage of your fall, while it wasn't fun to watch, it was important to see! It's a reality of the ride and a reminder of what could happen. Be Aware, Be Safe, Ride On! And egos are easily bruised and take a little time to heal but they do heal! :-) Keep up the great vids! New subscriber!
Welcome aboard! Thank you for watching and really appreciate the support. Ride safe!
Great vlog, honestly don’t worry about dropping the bike, it’s just one of those things, all part of life’s rich tapestry, glad that you are OK and top marks for sharing, keep on riding, look forward to the next ones
Thanks Peter, appreciate the support
You got right back on it, Bravo. I just bought a full face to replace my open, and this reminds me exactly why. thanks! Great content, keep it up!
Thanks Damon, yeah I hate to think what could have been!
What an epic road test! Great video as always guys, super funny and well edited. So glad you are ok Carolyn and great job getting back on and riding home. As everyone here has said we all drop our bikes. I did almost exactly the same thing with my GSXR750 years ago turning round a sharp turn in my work car park. A great example as to why we wear full face crash helmets as well. I hope this has not put you off trying other motorcycles and styles of motorcycles as well, although not all of them will have room for a 🥖!!
Thanks Simon!
Wearing a full face definitely saved me a trip to the dentist to get dentures!
No, it hasn’t put me off….it did, just after I came off but after a few minutes I was ok again :)
I would miss the baguette bags though!
I'm glad you were not seriously injured. Thank you for having the courage to post this video. I'm a new rider and you have just proven that a full face helmet is the only way to go. Ride safe. Joe from Ontario Canada
Thanks Joe! The first time I fell and hit my head was in the alps last summer. Definitely wear a full helmet!! X
Hi Joe, definitely get a full face, speed is not always the enemy
Glad that you were not hurt and thank you for sharing the actual incident - it will help to educate others!
Your channel is entertaining - the bits/flaps comments had me rolling on the floor at the office the other day!
I'm glad you're okay and it was only a sore thumb. Don't worry, everyone drops a bike at one point in their riding carrier. Kudos for getting back on it and overcoming that fear.
Really good that you had a Full Face helmet... Even though it was a low speed face plant, it still looked bad the way your face bounced off the ground! 😖... Well, just glad that nothing was badly broken... You two stay safe✌️😎
Thanks Charles…my face did bounce very well didn’t it?! :)
Yeah I agree, could have been a really paid incident that would have required lots of dental surgery! Thanks for watching Charles
I've seen experienced riders come off just like that with pillions as well , sh1t happens and you lived to tell the tale....! Next adventure please...! x
Thanks for being kind xxx
We learn from our mistakes and yours was one of the most common with bikes, I'm sure you learned from this to make you an even better rider in future, when I was learning to ride a Horse I was told you have to come off 13 times before you can really ride, bikes are very similar, you are obviously brave to even take on motorcycling so stay brave.
Glad you are ok. Great reaction Brian laying your bike down. She’s more important than a scratch. My old Fat Boy had the heel shifter but as a long time rider without one I rarely used to. Toe shifting is what I was used to.
Hey Doug, that’s great about toe shifting :) My heal shifter is the 1st bike I’ve had so although I learn on a toe shifter I quickly adapted. I just need practice. Also, my bike is incredibly difficult to get into neutral so normally this isn’t an issue for me :/
Oh well :) no lasting damage
Xxx
Thanks Doug, pretty sure most would have done the same! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching
Well done Carolyne - so what? You had a little tumble, nothing to be gutted or ashamed of (we all have them at some time) at the end of the day the only thing that really got hurt was your pride - but you dealt with the situation and got straight back on.
And so you’ve written another page in the book of you biking adventures & experiences. 🙂
Brian - top dude! You lay your King on it’s side and just jumped to her aid.. what a gent! (not many of us White Knights left mate 😉) you handled it all very calmly and that was all Carolyne needed (the rock of assurance).
Keep on rolling kids 😉
Thanks Chopper!!
Yes, Brian is a star! He is the calm to my crazy :P
Xxx
Thanks Chopper, appreciate the kind words! Wouldn't say I jumped off the bike, more tumbled HAHA. Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you weren't hurt more seriously, Carolyne. That was really hard to watch. Nevertheless, it's always fun watching you two riding in the countryside. It is so beautiful and, unfortunately, many of us will never have the experiences you two have riding on such wonderful roads. Your enthusiasm and sense of adventure really shows through in your videos. I enjoy watching them immensely. Thanks again for taking us along. Cheers! 👍🏻
Thank you for such a lovely comment, Stephen :) xx
Thank you so much Stephen! Appreciate the support
It happens to everyone at some time or another. Good on you for sharing and getting back on the horse.
Thank you! X
Thanks for watching!
Please don’t let it discourage you...I know many, many females who have done this, myself included (in front of a crowd). It can make you more aware in the future. We all enjoy your vlogs so much. Your charisma is so appreciated. Keep it up.
What a lovely comment, thank you! Xxx
Thank you so much!! Appreciate the support
Caroline, You did something amazing that not many riders would have done. You got back on after a faceplant. You were upset, sore and a good distance from home. But you calmed yourself down, got back on, and rode it home. I am proud of you! This should be a confidence builder for you, as this wasn't just laying the bike down. This was a high-side crash that threw you into the ground. Those are the events that build character in a rider's life. Brian, I am in no doubt sure that you are proud of Caroline too for expanding her motorcycle experience and keeping herself together. You two make a great team!! Thanks for sharing the video, as it shows real life, and that is how riders learn, through real-life experiences. Keep up the great videos!! Ride Free!!
Aww thanks Brian! I think I’ll always struggle when making mistakes as that’s just who I’ve always been.
Hearing all the stories of everyone else making mistakes has made me feel a lot better about my riding though :)
Xx
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 Carolyne, I am much the same way. Even after almost 50 years of riding, I still catch myself overthinking what I am doing and have to counter that. Just keep riding. Oh, by the way, it's time to get a new helmet, that one has received enough of an impact as to possibly not be effective next time.
Thanks Brian, very proud of her, she is better than she thinks. Appreciate the support!
You are very brave to get back on. No one could save that crash having grabbed neutral. It is extremely difficult to change riding reflexes like shifting patterns. You're conclusions are spot on. Big twins are the perfect sight seeing platform. Adventure bikes are for a different purpose.
Thanks for your kind words, David :) xx
We have all been there,its ok.I am happy you didn't get hurt bad.Ride on,have fun,ride safe.
Thanks Michael, I was gutted but apart from damaged tendons in the hand, just a bruised ego. Thanks for watching
Oh my I dont know what was more grabbing... Carolyne falling or Brian just laying his bike down to get to Carolyne. We all love you guys. But that was heart wrenching.
Thanks NBT but trust me, the more you watch it the funnier it gets :P
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 I was just able to watch to the end. The hardest part is knowing you had to get right back on and ride back. Amazing. LOL!! But just in case later it ever dawns on you that Brian might love his bike more than you... just watch again. He laid that thing down with zero concern for the bike to get to you. Lol. Some commentors need to remember you're a new rider. This deal will give you more confidence if you build on it.
I love your videos, keep them coming. Glad you are OK Caroline. Your content and editing is great, true and honest riding in the most beautiful locations. I hope this little fall doesn't put you off.
Thank you for your kind words :)
I’m not put off so far…well, I wasn't interested in testing new bikes about two minutes after my fall but I got over that pretty quickly :)
Thanks again cxx
Thank you so much! The supportive comment is much appreciated
Very fair conclusion of what seem like a great experience of trying a different style of bike we all get it wrong sometimes that’s what keeps us aware 👏
Thanks a million, Gary xxx
Thanks Gary, appreciate the support. It was a great bike and I think she did really well, you could see the confidence until the incident. Thanks for watching
Hey guys thanks for the video and just glad you are ok it was a really great video showing sometimes it is hard when you ride a bike that you don't know really well. Really liked the funny parts about sitting on the seat. I am glad that you aren't afraid of trying something new it just makes you get more confidence and the biggest thing is the experience thanks again
Thanks so much, Cathy!
You are right, it was a great experience trying a new bike and I would be happy to try other bikes…if anyone will let me now :P
Do you test out other bikes? Any you would recommend?
Thanks 👍 Cathy, once again Appreciate all the support!
I’am glad you’re fine and your airbags worked very well☺️. Good to ride the bike home yourself!
Yes! Thank you Peu! Appreciate the support
I have two different harleys and have to remember which one I'm riding for turning. You did great keep pushing your abilities and growing.
Got to relearn that foot gear lever!! Thanks for being kind xxx
Thanks 👍 I agree she did really well with such a tall bike. Very different riding style! Thanks for watching
Caroline you my friend are a trooper! You fell, you gathered yourself, and you got back on the bike. These things happen! Brian springing to action dropping his own bike was a testament how much he cares for his beautiful wife. I love your videos and seeing how much you two enjoy riding and being with each other.
Hey Jon!
Thank you :) Even with the topple it was still a fun day!
We went out riding the following day too so bruises weren’t too bad.
Yes, he is a good man :)
Xxx
Thanks for watching and appreciate the support. Hope you had a weekend
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 Just realized I misspelled your name. So sorry!
Been there done that, power on! Glad you’re OK! Love the Honesty!
Thank you :)
Everyone falls at sometime or another, it’s the getting back on that’s the gutsy bit. You did it with great style Carolyn 👍 The bit’s commenty had me in stitches. Very funny. I’ve just found your blog, will be watching again in Australia North Queensland
Thanks David :)
Good for you for posting this, Carolyne. 👍 Everyone drops their bike at some stage and I even had an article published in MCN entitled 'Men drop their bikes too, they just don't talk about it.' 😄 It really helps people to know they're not alone and there's no reason to feel stupid.
Bri and I tootle - we love to enjoy the scenery and roads and have no desire to race around. Wishing you both miles of smiles ☺️🏍🏍. Sue, MMD
Thanks Sue!
Everyone who has commented has been so honest and supportive! It would be great for newbies to see how common it is and that it’s ok. X
Thanks for the support Sue. Look after yourself and safe travels
You actually did pretty well with the get off. First of all you were wearing the proper equipment, especially the full face helmet.
Was a professional rider (think Tour de France TV bikes) and totaled a brand new K1600 going over railroad tracks.
So, no matter what the experience level, it can happen to anyone.
Gongrats for getting back on and riding back to the dealership.
Glad your ok. Bikes can be replaced good people can't. Best on TH-cam. Videos are awesome. You two stay safe
Thanks 👍 Clay, that means a lot. Much appreciated, thanks for watching the video.
I enjoy watching your videos very much. That could have happened to anyone. I test road that bike and your right. Great bike!
Thanks! 👍 Chris, appreciate the support and the comment. Thanks for watching!
That was a very tricky situation and unless you've had years of off-road experience where shit like that happens all the time, you just don't act quickly enough. My favorite bike in the garage is my BMW GSA 1250. It's sporty and goes anywhere, including off-road to 14,000 feet in the Colorado mountains. They also sit tall and I feel safest on this bike and can easily look over cars. That said, they're tall and some are top heavy...it's no surprise the HD you rode had been dumped. You're genuine and honest, putting this out there for all to see, so don't be too hard on yourself...shit happens. Glad you're safe!
Thank you so much Comoto!
That bike sounds great! I’ll google it :)
I would love to have some off-roading experience, I think it will teach me loads.
Thanks again xxx
I really felt for you when it happened but it's happens to everyone who rides it's part of the fun, and Brian is my hero if he can tuck it behind. Great vlog again thanks Steve
Haha! Thanks Steve, Brian rides a roadking normally so need for tucking :) Not sure what he would do on a sports bike though!
Xxx
Haha thanks Steven, I have no intention of riding a bike that squash my bits! Exercise bikes are bad enough. Thanks for watching
Perfect case for full face helmets. I'm so glad you're fine and you powered through it and got right back on.
Thanks so much Marlon xxx
Great video and well done for getting back on and showing the footage.
Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed it
Love the wayBrian laid the bike down and went to her aid immediately champ
He really is :) xx
Thanks Grahame, should have caught her and the bike
As soon as I saw the leaves around and the speed I was like "oh oh" cause grass and leaves on the road can be deadly for us bikes. Seems that was not the problem though lol! Good on you for the full face helmet and pads. Got back on after a bit and riding like a champ!
Thanks J, yeah I wouldn’t have felt like such an idiot if it was the leaves but nope…all me :/
Yay for full face helmets! It had great bounce too :)
Xxx
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 Your a champion though. Everyone makes mistakes.
Thank you for being so real and vulnerable. It takes gut to show us the viewer what happened.
Thanks a million, John xxx
Thanks for watching John, appreciate the support
Love your videos. Don’t feel embarrassed about your accident we all make mistakes it happens. I dropped my ultra limited in a parking lot with my wife on the back. I love where you guys live it’s so beautiful over there. I’m from upstate New York. Keep up the good work and thank you for being real.
Thank you for the kind words!
Oh wow! Bet it’s fun to ride where you live!
I hope your wife was ok, I’m assuming she was if you were in a car park…that’s my usual dropping spot :) xxx
Thanks for commenting and watching Daniel, hope your wife was ok. Ride safe!
That looked like a nasty fall. I'm so pleased you are OK. I fell off my husbands GS a couple of months ago. I was being a crash test dummie as it had a steering fault & wanted my opinion 🙃 it does shack you up a bit. Great footage again xx
Oh I hope you’re ok!! Nothing too serious I hope.
At the time it made me feel very shaky and a bit sick. But now I’m almost all healed so watching the fall was quite funny now it’s been a while :)
Ouch!! Hope you were ok! Thanks for watching!
We’ve all been there and made a rookie mistake… most importantly you get back on, learn from it and keep on riding. Thanks for the review and your honesty in showing the good, the bad and the embarrassing!
Thanks for that :) Yup, back on and enjoying riding! X
Thanks for sharing that honest video with us. When you get in a situation as the one causing you to fall of, you always act in a reflex. That doesn't work on a new bike, so there is nothing to be ashamed off I would say. As I started riding a bike I was told that there a two sorts of bikers: the ones that has fallen off and the ones that will fall off. Luckily until now I'm in the second group, but I'm sure my time will come. Keep the fun going😎👍🏻
Ooh that is lucky! I’ve been in the first group from the day I took my test :P
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 And still riding and having fun? Now that is the spirit😎👍
Well said! She thinks she has dropped her bike more times than she actually has
First time I’ve seen your vlog, aren’t you adorable! Your hubby is a lucky guy! I love seeing so many ladies riding their own these days!
Thank you so much!! Not sure Brian always agrees haha.
as for it being dropped, they say its not a matter of "if" your ever gonna do it but a matter of "when" , It was good seeing you ride it home...you gotta get that uneasy feeling out of your head, glad you were wearing your lid, simple little drop gave you a little bloody lip....as for Brian picking that big thing up, damn son...lol your guys videos make me smile while listening to you..."squish your bits" "lunch boxes" "monkey bars" LOL keep it up..love it!! and of course the looks on Brians face when you say those things lol
Thanks Ed :)
Yes, Brian is a beast!
The microphone from the comms caught my lip otherwise I would’ve been totally fine! I’m a big fan of full face helmets!
You know you’ll get an honest review ;P xxx
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 Yes, good school video for Fullface Helmets. If you wear a Helmet, why not one really protect you!
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 Its only been a couple of yrs since I have been wearing a full face, and its basically because i wanted a comm to listen to music lol music is lifes blood
Mine reason is because the ground is harder than my face :P
Music is fun though :)
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 lol true...over here i used to rarely even wear one, if i did it was a beanie helmet or a 3/4...I've change my mind a couple yrs ago after my buddy went down..saw the light so to speak
"Ay up Darcey nice gaff " :)
Also a pretty good advert for full face helmets.
! Yup it is indeed :)
Indeed it is! Helmet did it's job for sure. Thanks for watching!
Glad you are okay and love your videos, the wit and humor are fantastic. Be safe.
Thank you very much! Appreciate the kind words of support. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy watching your vids your a wonderful couple. That fall should be a commercial for full faced helmuts, glad to see no major injury. Great to see more of Brian great job on the video. See you next time!
Thanks Von! Agreed, helmets all the way!
I nag Brian all the time to stop editing himself out!
Thanks Von, I am the side kick, the Robin to Batman!
Dont feel bad Carolyn, youre just a experience richer. Happy rides!🙂
Thanks Luka! You’d think I’d be used to the embarrassment of falling by now with how many videos Brian has put up of me falling…yet it’s still and ego blow :)
Thanks for the kind comment xxx
Lukas*
So true! Thanks for watching Lukas!
It’s hard for people to hop on a different style of bike. I have a 2018 Goldwing and 07 BMW R1200R. Takes a few miles to get used to difference in speed and handling. I noticed in a lot of videos of people traditionally HD riders and you go to something with performance it’s a leap. Most aren’t used to the increased lean angle. Glad you didn’t get to damaged.
Thank you! Yes, I need to relearn the toe gear changes!
Thanks for being kind xxx
Thanks Peter, she did really well until... Anyway, thanks for watching, Ride safe!
Glad your ok! And proud of you to jump back on it to ride it back. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Kirk :) x
Thanks! Will do! Appreciate the kind comment. Ride Safe
Your music is always excellent! Really shows the effort and artistry you put into each of these! Thank you guys!
Oh that’s all Brian…I’m just the performing monkey
@@carolynemoolenschot2907 I include you! You are perfect in your art too
My art? Gymnastics abilities?
Thanks so much Pete!
I dropped my harley this spring and I didn't ride again for a month. Once the shock wore off, I realized it had to happen eventually. Now it's out of the way and over and I'm a better rider because of it.
Thanks Sean, I hope you weren’t injured.
Yeah, not my first time falling off :/
Hope nothing was damaged Sean, keep riding and stay safe! Thanks for watching
@@BunnyKingHogs My poor bike got hurt a little worse than I did. But I still rode it home.
You know I watched this yesterday and thought about your reaction. Your reaction, to me, showed concern for the equipment lent to you more than the concern for your ego or status with your viewers (hence showing us instead of editing it out).
Brian’s reaction to what happened, his total lack of concern for anything else but your condition, was perfect! I can think of many riders who would take the time and put the stand down before attending a downed rider, he didn’t. It showed what was truly important to him, life over property.
Why this happened. You were riding an unfamiliar bike, on an unfamiliar road. An uphill hairpin would challenge anyone that hasn’t spent a lot of time in the saddle on similar roads.
Don’t beat yourself up too bad, you walked away from it, relatively uninjured. Material things can be fixed, or replaced, Bruised egos gotten over.
Glad you weren’t hurt any worse, and GOOD JOB BRIAN!!
Thank you!
I am concerned for the equipment, I’m always scared of getting into trouble :)
Brian is a good egg!
Thanks again for your kind words xxx
Thanks for the wonderful message! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching
Hairpins are a bugger...I always get into a lower gear (usually first) before the turn for exactly this reason. Really brave of you putting in this footage, and honestly it can and does happen to anyone.
Generally though, I am loving your videos! I've only just discovered your channel and have been working my way thru all the vids - the Switzerland etc trip has been great viewing.
Thanks for this! ❤
Great video as normal and a big thumbs up for keeping it honest, I did exactly the same thing on a BMW R1200RT a few years ago so didn't beat yourself up over it and remember ever ride you learn something new and gain experience.
Thanks Michael! Xx
Thanks for the support Michael.!
What a beast, what a champ! Getting thrown off looked like bull riding Bunny Hog style. 👍👍
Haha! Thanks John :) Xxx
Thanks John, appreciate your support!
From an old biker , we've all done the same.You weren't the first an you won't be the last.I,m on tip toes on my AT ,you 2 make great viewing cool .😉🤞
Thanks Gruff, much appreciated. She did well up until that corner. Nice bike for sure, I look forward to riding it. Thanks for watching
Thanks Gruff! Hopefully I’ll only ever drop bikes at a slow speed like all my past drops
Thanks for your kind words xxx
I am glad you didn't get hurt that bad on new bike! I did same thing to my Piaggio mp3 but it was tilting system flip me down when I was turning down the street!
Sorry to hear that, hope you weren't injured
you two are great craic to watch, thats a heavy bike and anyone would have had trouble stopping it falling on that slope. well done diving away like that cos you might have had a leg trapped otherwise. congrats also for girling up and getting back on, subscribed.
Aww thanks Malachy :) xxx
Another exceptional vlog, love the humor and the smiles. Brian proving he’s a mans man by jumping off his bike to try and catch his wife. Carolyn sucking it up and getting back on. Great videography. Continued success
Thanks Wayne! It’s a great comfort knowing that Brian is always there :) xxx
Thanks Wayne, appreciate the supportive comment. She was a trooper, got straight back on it. Thanks for watching
@@BunnyKingHogs I’m so glad you weren’t seriously hurt. It was frightening to watch
First and foremost, glad to see you’re OK! Thank you for being transparent and vulnerable to share the details. Ive learned something from watching your video, and I greatly appreciate it. I had some work done to my 06 Deluxe a few weeks ago and my boot does not fit under the shift lever after that;, BELIEVE me, I will adjust it before the next ride. You are stunning and brilliant in your commentary, plus you two are awesome! Btw, where can I get a tshirt like Brian is wearing? :)
Thanks JV, really appreciate the kind words and glad you have learnt something that may help you. It is my favourite tshirt, designed by Carolyne! She has a site, www.bunnykingz.com
Thanks for watching
Hi Carolyne, Don't ever feel bad about dropping a bike, we've all done it and you did well to ride it home. I have about 5K of dirt road to get to the bitumen her in Aus and it gets bl###y slippery when it's wet. I've come off quite a few times, or taken an "off road" detour in the wet. Doesn't matter the size of bike either some were on a 250 Virago. Keep up the good work and can't wait for your next adventure.
Sounds like fun! Yeah I would want to do some training before we go on dirt roads, just to get some experience. Thanks for watching and appreciate the support!
Glad you are ok after the fall. Everyone has an off and they are no fun. Really enjoy the Chanel with you both. Take care. Ride safe.
Thanks Greg xx
I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever heard a review of a bike described that way. 😂. A different perspective for sure. Glad all is well
Enjoy watching you both.
Haha! Thanks Bum! X
Glad you enjoyed it! I think haha Thanks for watching
That was a hell of a face plant.... Good job you have a full face helmet 👍🏻
Glad you are not hurt.
Been there done that too... It happens.
Great watch 👍🏻
Thanks for the support Scotty. She was fine, pride and ego bruised...and damaged thumb tendons. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see you're okay way to get up and get back on it 👍👍👍
Thanks Chuck!! Xxx
Very brave for getting straight back on with it well done, great video
Thanks James :)
Take a breath. Anyone who tells you they have never dropped their bike really doesn’t ride much. You two are awesome, keep it up.
Thanks Troy :)
We have had a few on Facebook but they are all liars, 2 types of riders as they say, those that have dropped and those that will. Thanks for watching
Another great video! Such a shame Carolyne finding neutral at such a difficult moment. Don't worry you tend to fall off less with experience and those roads around Derbyshire can be very technically demanding, most riders would occasionally struggle on such large bikes.
Thank you!! I was feeling very comfortable on the bike until the neutral issue. Much easier to handle on the curves than my bike.
Derbyshire is fun to ride in isn’t it?!! You don’t need to speed to have fun :) xxx
Thanks Culch! Appreciate the support and kind words. Thanks for watching
Honest, real, brave and entertaining many thanks for the vlog guys. Caroline, sometimes big lessons are learned when things go wrong and you learned the importance of reading the bend, selecting the gear before the bend and balance. Full face all the way if you want to keep your teeth. Please keep trying out a variety of bikes it will make you a better rider. Lovin your work guys. 😁👍🏻
Thanks Pebbles!
Yes, I will keep trying them..if anyone will let me after this :P
I just said no more just after I feel because it was shocking..but I was out riding again the next day so all good :) xxx
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the kind words of support
Good man beside you. He acted quick and remained calm and attentive. I’m glad your feeling much better hang in there and you learn with each ride. Take care😉🤙🏼
Thanks Raul!
Yes, he is a keeper :)

Thanks Paul, I appreciate that comment. If I could have caught her. Thanks for watching!
