- Sitting around on a cold winter weekend, I just decide to drop everything and head down to Wales.
Join me in the 2nd episode as I head from Caernarfon to The beautiful Great Orne where my bike takes a tumble. Thank god for crash bars.
Please also don't forget to check out my Instagram page with photos and clips from all my rides. You can find me on there using the name adventure__4life
I have been out on so many rides the last few years and have always been recording, I just never uploaded anything online. I thought I'd have a go. I now have the fantastic BMW R1250 GS Adventure TE in Kalamata design which means lots more awesome bike trips to come.
I am a noooob to vlogging so please go easy on me. if you can like and subscribe, that would be great and you can watch as I learn to make better uploads and show you some fantastic places to go on your next adventure.
Thanks Guys :) - บันเทิง
🤓thanks for sharing
, what a great area to explore. 😯 on the tip over 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🥂
Just got home from work and I couldn’t have come home to a better video to watch while eating dinner. Excellent as usual 😊
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching all my vids and commenting. I really appreciate the support :)
@@Adventure4LifeTV Oh, you sir are a breath of fresh air. Your videos are going to blow up soon because they are real. Thank you so much for the awesome videos and scenery :-)
Did Orme bay an that area myself. Dont worry about the bike fall...Most of us have done it. At least your are not afraind of your mishaps mate. Great footage again mate.
Bloody Hell steve you picked that up quick 😳 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 somebody noticed!!! 💪🏽 💪🏽
Did she just throw a tantrum and fall over !!!!
Good video, we live Wales especially snowdonia 👍🏼
Yep, it was a full on spit the dummy out tantrum followed by rolling around on the floor.... :)
I love that marine drive around the great Orme. I wasn’t lucky enough to get good weather, in fact it was so foggy I could only see about 40ft I front of me.
Good excuse to go back though 😎
Congrats on 1k subs, time to get some money from ads! 🙌🏻
Thanks for the kind words about the 1k subs :)
I bet it can get really bad on that Marine Drive somedays with the weather.. It's so exposed.
Ride Safe :)
Steve
Ow that’s painful even to watch, glad the bikes not too damaged. My 2018 GSA fell over outside my house in strong winds; the result was a cracked cylinder head and scratched bars, so my new 1250 has the extra arm to add more strength though🤞I’ll never need it!!
You got it out of the way 👍 they all fall eventually ! No worries . Awesome vid 👌
Thanks for the comment and for watching :) I have dropped it plenty of times but not on the hard road surface, its usually just on the soft muddy tracks which is no problem. Cheers
That makes two off us ! I dropped my GS in front of a nursing home one a slope on the kick stand. All the grannies looked at me like omg waht a loser lol ! 😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂
well done once again
Thanks 👊🏻✊🏻🤟🏻
enjoying the adventure, i always put my camera gear which is the heaviest on my stand side pannier so that never happens, glad you had no damage ;)
Great ride - thanks. Hope the damage wasn't too bad.
All good, just a few scratched on the bars. I'm just sorting the next episode out now. Thankfully there are no drops in this one lol. Cheers
Great episode pity about the fall, I watched a chap in a America reviewing his adventure and one thing he said was your going to drop it at some point so might as well push it over on both sides get it over and done by👍
Haha that’s a good idea. To be honest, I drop it quite a lot but it’s always on wet mud etc which doesn’t do any harm. That day though was solid and the bike does have some scratches but it is an Adventure bike lol
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻👍🏻
nice video mate glad bikes ok ..
There’s a few marks but nothing to drastic
Glad the bike is OK and the bars did their job. In regards to the tunnel you went through, apparently Alpha Romeo rate it as one of the best for sound and acoustics.
Hi Mike, the bars are a bit marked but never mind.. Thats a random fact about that tunnel lol, it was worth the extra revs then!! I though it sounded better that usual 😂😂👊🏻✊🏻🤟🏻
Read about the tunnel on line :)
Have to agree with you, need to give a rev in any tunnel. BTW I have now traded my Multistrada 950 in for a 1200GS.
Great video cheers ! jumped when the bike dropped Holy fook. Was planning on doing there when I get of the Liverpool ferry and possibly conwy castle bit hesitant with soft luggage to leave the bike for long
Hey, I'm the same as you. I don't like leaving anything for long. At least with the hard boxes I can lock them up. You'll just have to put your most valuable stuff in a backpack when you want to do anything.
I have one of those fold able backpacks. Ferry gets in at 6.30 I might miss the £ 1.90 charge 😂 Looking forward to my trip and your next installment Cheers A4L
Cracking vid mate,looks a great place too,sorry about your bike glad its ok ;-)
Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Thanks 👍 :)
Great ride Steve, shame about the little mishap with the GS,thankfully there were some good honest bikers about. Take care 👍🏍🏁
Hi John,
Thanks for watching. Yes, its good that there are some honest people still out there...
Ride Safe !
What happened there Steve, your bike wasn't lent over far enough? great vid mate
Hi Jason, I think it wasn't leant over far enough and add that to the fact that I had loads of chains and locks in the right pannier, it just went. Never mind, these things happen. Thanks for watching :)
How the hell did that even happen?? Great video apart from ‘that’ bit 🏴
Hi Dylan, the left pannier had the heavy locks in, add that to the slight un level road surface and it just it was going over... luckily I had the protection bars.
@@Adventure4LifeTV I’d have been gutted and thrown the go pro into the sea!
Ouch! I remember seeing a vid on TH-cam a few years ago where the chap was test riding a 1200 GS and he did the same thing leaving it on the side stand with the engine running but the test bike didn't have any protection and he holed the rocker cover and had to be recovered. You could always get the covers to cover the scratches up if they bother you I guess. At least you were able to carry on and were not hurt. I dropped my 1200 a few years ago and the crash bars saved my bike from damage too so some form of protection is well worth it. IMO.
Hi,
Yes I have a few scratches on the bars but nothing I can't live with. It was a hell of a crash down lol.
Thanks for the watch and comment :)
Very nice mate 👍🇦🇺 do you not use your centre stand on uneven ground I’ve noticed your bike is very low have you had it lowered…… Do you ever venture to South Wales 🏴
Good morning down under! yes i do use the centre stand when im stopping for a while but this was for 2 mins for a quick pic. I have the lowere version but the problem was the road was not level and the weight of my locks and chains in the right pannier caused the inbalance.
I'm heading down to south wales in a couple of weeks to do the Brecons. Should be good :)
did the sos work ?
It usually does but it didn't that day...
@@Adventure4LifeTV no signal..i have the sos i am temped to push the button lol.
I’m not sure I can watch it
hahahahah .... Go for it!! next time I won't carry a sack of potatoes in the pannier!! lol
You just have to spread them out . Great vid , love that bit of cost/toll
