Great effort, and great training! It is always such a balance to push yourself to the point of truly learning new skills, yet not so far to where you hurt yourself in the process! For sure, the more smooth and polished you get at the slow-speed skills, will translate into more confident riding at the higher speeds! Cheers you two, and get well soon!

Once again a very good tutor in Jon Øivind. Learning to balance the bike also when having to manually handle it, is so easy to not getting extremely tired. Using the clutch as your brake when the engine is off, all those tricks we take for granted all have to be learned and practiced. A tip for both of you. Keep the bolts to the mounts for clutch and brake handle just a tad bit loose. That will prevent them from bending and braking during a fall.

Wow . You guys are fortunate to have a friend like that to help you learn more about controlling your motorcycle offroad . That's a big bike to learn on . Got my Tenere 700 last month but haven't had much time to ride at all . For your wife I would say just keep practicing , that's a big bike and I know that the throttle is very touchy . I know it will take me a while to get more confident with it . The Tenere is way different than my DR650 . I only have a bit over a year and less than 2000 miles of riding experience and only 45 miles on the Tenere . I had to use my clutch as a rear break and my front brake when I took a tumble on a very steep cobbly trail . Made a wrong decision when I came to a fork in the trail , should have went left . It was 85° out and I had all my gear on and it wasn't summer gear . No shade and a DR650 to turn around and walk down a sketchy trail using the break and clutch in 1st gear with the engine off , no power . Got the bottom and regrouped . Took the left side and had fun until another sketchy uphill twist in cobblestone and soft powder dirt . This time I decided to wait until I had more experience and a summer jacket . I was sweating so much that I was going to drink all my water and juice before I got halfway to where I was trying to go . Learned a lot that day and just went back on the highway and rode the back way to where I was going . Rode for a couple hours on easier wider offroad trails/roads and through small trails in the trees , fun times !

Let's see , when the temperature is around 70° F or less I use the Klim Badlands Pro pants/jacket with Fox Racing Titan knee/shin guards and Fox Racing Race elbow pads also a Fox Racing roost guard . The shin/knee guards fit good into my boots but the elbow guards are a bit tight but not too bad . For warmer weather I got the Klim Baja 4 jacket . That is one comfy jacket .

Excellent practice! International statistics show that 66% of bone breaks are below the knee, of which 57% are low speed ground impact. So good boots will protect you, however the best way to prevent it is to practice making slow 8 on different terrain. Try to make the 8 as tight as possible. Start with easiest, tarmac. Everybody should do slow 8s at least 1-2 every month, it takes just a couple of minutes. Add a hindrance avoiding exercise to it, as if you were avoiding and object or a breaking car. Do 5 left and right of the object. This will save your life in most accidents. Your reaction time is 2 seconds. You should always ride with pre-loaded break hand grip. With more skill comes cockiness, beware because it will lead you to do stupid things. Stay always humble on the bike and think SAFE!

But the older I get having to move as quickly to keep the bike upright isn’t as easy as it was 40 years ago when I started riding off road.

Wow! That will be an amazing trip! Would love to do the same one day! It does lower the ground clearance a bit, but not too much. The worst part is that since the lowering links are a bit shorter, the bottom of the damper protrudes a bit more and are a more risk of being hit by stuff. But it won’t be a problem as long as you don’t ride the craziest terrain and super hard. For the way we ride it is no issue at all 🙂

@@RidetheBean KTM-390 Adventure or Kawasai 300 Verses

Practice slow turns in a parking lot, everyday for a 10-15 minutes, until you get the muscle memory set. I do this with my KLR until I can do circles with the handlebars locked. Then practice on flat gravel. IMHO the T7 is to big for the little lady. Not worth the risk. For us mere mortal riders, on nasty ground, one has to be able to "duck walk" a motorcycle up or down step terrain and have the strength to support the weight of the bike. Interesting video and informative, but I cringed watching it. Be safe!! Picking up my T7 next week!!

Good idea! I think I’ll have to do that 😊 never hurts to practice 😊 they say any low rider can ride any bike if we only have the right technique. I’ll try and won’t give up just yet 😊

Ride the Bean thats somehow right. But.....”they say”.....is the “they” the ones who try to persuade people to buy those both top heavy and general heavy bikes ? How far could people have gone if they were confident in their bikes whithout weeks and months of training in lifting and handling those bikes ?

RIP PIA 💗

😯 why you not get for her a used Crf250l or klx250 , what is 140kg , and after a year, she can get a t7, and she don’t will break a bike. Guys you can get injured, but it’s not my business . I start taking enduro lessons on crf250l as well. It’s not a shame. And replace the broken plastics are cheaper on this bikes. Cheaper bike is perfect for learning, or a used old bike. There are people on KZread, which did trips around world on Crf250l. Perfect bike for short girls. Don’t get me wrong.The t7 is a cool bike. Wish you good luck in Afrika

Yeah you’re right. That’s a good plan 😊 we should’ve thought it sooner. My learning curve is headed for the right direction though 😊👌🏻

I’m happy for you. T7 is my dream bike as well. My plan is to go to Africa as well, therefore I’m taking enduro lessons. And the Crf250l is sometimes heavy. I’m still doing research, what bike I will get. I will see. I will check your channel, I’m looking forward to see some cool adventure and videos from you. Enjoy riding 💪😉

Thank you! That sounds like quite an adventure you’re planning there 👌🏻😊 good luck with your preparations’

:-) Maybe next time buy more clumpsy and more heavy bikes....seems to be the trend nowadays :-)

Hehe they are not that clumsy actually, and not that heavy either compared to most adventure bikes. But for training I guess a smaller and lighter bikes would be good 🙂 I guess it is a trend because they can get you far away without issue, and long as you know some techniques 😛

Ride the Bean Yep, that is what i mean...”without issues” ... #ironyOff If your only definition of an adventure bike is big and clumsy, where weight is measured in part of ton`s instead of kg, you are on the right track. “Without issues” is just becoming even more of an issue when you load those bikes for longer trips

If we were going solo it might have been a bigger issue, but since we always are two people to lift them we manage pretty well 😛 but what we get back from them is an amazing experience, even if we some times have to struggle a bit 😛

I thing pitbike is much better for getting elementary skils. Than next step T7. Good teacher never take such biginers to to heavy or dificult terain. First is good open area. Everybody can have more fun and less damaged bike. I am sad to see this video.

Hi Martin! It was not the instructors intention to take us to such difficult terrain, he tried to signal us to stop but we didn’t understand his signal 😊 We could probably have a lot of fun and learning by practicing on small dirt bikes, we think! 😊

If you’re going to ride off road, you have to get proper hand guards. This plastic handguards are useless! Also, the STR tires suck on mud! Yeah he laughed at your tooth so it’s ok to laugh at him

Yeah I know. It is on my list. It’s just a big list 😝 these tires are pretty decent on dry surfaces, but terrible when it’s wet. We’re gonna use them u and get better ones next time. But the first leg is mostly on tarmac. The tooth is hilarious 😂 at least I thought so 😂 bit I guess I got payback when I crashed 😅
