  • Last of the good weather? A spontaneous weekend away leads the team back to the Netherlands for some light off road practice. Gavin gets his first taste of Team Green String and everyones kit gets scrutinised.

    Your videos really catch the banter that us riders of a certain age share! Keep it coming please! 👌

    :) That scream :) Hilarious.
    Again, great content. I love these overnighters. Very enjoyable.
    Seems like a nice camping as well.
    Hopefully you will have some more nice weekends.

      Haha, thanks. It was exactly the same route / campsite as last year. Because it was literally so spontaneous (I mean the whole thing decided on in a few hours) we stuck with a good ride out we knew worked. Also, yes I love that campsite. Every pitch is different and it has excellent facilities.

    As always, enjoyed the video, good to see that new guy Gavin wasn't excluded from the banter. Epic top box liner!
    And that end scene - brilliant!

      Well done Mark. Your the first person to comment on the „End scene“….I like to know who really watches to the end👍🏼💀👻

    I do love these videos. Real Boys Own stuff. Bikes, camping mixed with camp fires and beer. What could go wrong!!! Enjoyed it 👍😎.

      What makes it even worse is the fact half the footage has to be left out. Let’s just say it’s not exactly politically correct.😂👍🏼

    This is exactly how I try to explain to others why I DONT use intercoms when riding. Even in groups 😂 Hand signals and horn works every time. How is that Rukka suit to run in? 😂👏🏻 Hahaha the laugh when he lit the fire pit 😂 Great to see the band together Uncle Steve 👏🏻

      On longer trips I’ve learned never to have comms on. By the end of the day your even more annoyed with whoever you are travelling with. 😂 That said, listening to people fall off their bike screaming is priceless!! Stay safe Bro.🇳🇴🇬🇧👍🏼

      Much appreciated mate. I’ll be scraping the video vault for content over the next few months😂🤣

      No biker, and I mean no biker escapes …
      „The Book of Shit Biker Excuses“…..soon to be available in WH Smith and all good book stores.😂👍🏼

    Been offline for a while. Gotta catch up on the last few episodes. Congratulations on the new motorcycle. Good choice, the T7 is a nice bike. Nice to see you go on a trip together again. And of course Goodnight Jason is back.🤣 Perfect.

    • @GreenString
      @GreenString  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Welcome back and I hope you enjoy the „back catalogue“ of videos. I’m thinking of getting „Good night Jason“ on a T-Shirt🤔😂

    Oh I do love a trip to Holland.😂

    • @GreenString
      @GreenString  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Do you fancy…say, oh I don’t know, cycling there? 😂😁🤣👍🏼

  • @dazzer4220

    Looked a great weekend guys. Big bikes and sand are always a challenge...definitely wouldn't have fancied some of those tracks in the wet!. Must admit i have never really explored Holland on the bike and have only ridden through it on route to other counties...might have to reconsider it next year. NEC bike show next week here in the UK so interested to see whats new in the adventure bike world.

    • @GreenString
      @GreenString  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers mate. If your Joe Average off road then the Netherlands TET ain’t a bad place to start, especially if your crap at sand riding (like we are). It’s pretty easy but there are some quite challenging patches. The Gopro, in my opinion, never does the terrain justice. It’s always worse to ride than it looks as you probably know. But yeah other than that I love The Netherlands, the people are super friendly.
      It seems the ADV market is going from strength to strength. There are a lot of new bikes out there. I haven’t been to a bike show in at least 3 or 4 years now. I remember challenging myself to find the most comfortable bike at the show. Unsurprisingly it was a Harley. Anyway enough babble take care mate.👍🏼

    Brilliant Steve great crack pml 😂 that’s one I’m hoping to do next yr heard it was very sandy , as always brilliant videos thanks for sharing

    • @GreenString
      @GreenString  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers Steve. The bit we did is not particularly challenging and I’d say big bike friendly but I’ve heard it can get quite tasty in some sections. All in all it seems very pleasant. Winding down now for winter and just commuting on the bike. I’ll probably do a couple of long term kit reviews but mostly now in that interesting phase of planning for next year.

    Looked like a great weekend. I think the camping year is well and truly over in the UK.... unless you are seriously hard core.... or have gills.

    • @GreenString
      @GreenString  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We were close to going out about 2 weeks ago but it just wasn’t worth it. That video was from a trip at the back end of September (I think). Probably the next time we will get out will be for a quick last minute shake out before the big trip in April. What I am doing at the moment is videoing a couple of seconds every time I commute to work. I started in May of this year. Next May I intend to sort of do an extended timelapse thing of 12 months of commuting and cram an entire year into a couple of minutes…might work, might not…anyway stay safe and, if you can, keep riding.👍🏼

    • @neilmackinnon3371
      @neilmackinnon3371 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@GreenString That sounds like a great idea. I look forward to seeing that. We are on our third named storm of the year and you'd need a boat or life raft to camp in the UK at present, plus an anchor as the ground is so waterlogged you'd never get a tent peg to stay put.

    Hi guys, nowthen topbox? Iv'e see s couple of BMW's with the same linings in, so could be the reason for their bike prices 🤔

    • @GreenString
      @GreenString  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hand on heart I struggle to think of a more pointless accessory than an imitation leather, Victorian era, jewellery case insert for a top box. It is so ridiculous it’s brilliant. But your right, it does justify doubling the price of a motorcycle 😂😁👍🏼
