Rode my 1190 Adv R up through Africa and then Himalayan in England and Wales finishing at ABR festival in Warwickshire - enjoyed very much - especially meeting Adam Rieman whose channel I follow

Criky thats a trip Rupert! How long did that take you & was it a planned trip to finish off at ABR? How was it you swapped bikes to ride in England& Wales? I'm intrigued 👍

Adam is a master 👍

Great vid. An even better show from Adam and Chris as usual. They give it all.

Thanks Sam, I enjoyed it & I'd say there were 5X as many people there watching this time. The ABR must be making a ton of money from this successful & enjoyable event. Hopefully they'll send a feedback form again, if they do I'm going to suggest the GoPro Display arena be improved. It was impossible to see the log crossing with so many people, the ramp jump be brought closer & add another, there's room to improve it for sure 👍

Thanks for this. I missed the show this year in favour of an adventure through France. Watching this is as good as being there. Great interviews!

Thanks bud. I went this year to just enjoy it & chill a bit but wanted to film the Display Area. I couldn't fit it all in so along with a couple of other bits & bobs I've just made another vid actually. Hope to get it out either tonight or tom latest 👍

Great video. Those chaps have amazing skills. Love the interviews. It was great to see you again. Meeting DMT made my day.

A few people spoke to Chris after his stint in the display area, I hung around till last to ask him those 3 questions. I thought he'd be short & want to get off but he gave me the time of day & was very easy to talk to. Loved his answer to the most favourite bike he's ridden? Fabrizio Meoni's Dhaka winning 950 going on to say how privileged he was to ride it, like an F1 fan driving Nigel Mansells GP winning car. Chris is a phenomenal rider & a top bloke too 👏

And here am I: riding a T7 and still sh*** my pants on muddy forest paths 🤣and thanking silently to Adam that watching his videos taught me minimal lessons!

Chris's first bike was a Yamaha PW50 as my son had, not a CW50. I'm sure he wouldn't be seen dead on a 50cc scoot. Good coverage all the same.

I'm glad you mentioned that Gerry, if only for my own confidence boosting, I knew my GS1250's more road focused tyres were nearing a tyre change but didn't realise how much closer they were until I got out on the 30km Bridgestone Trail! I'm a confident novice I'd say so yes I'd agree the grass is

Crikey, I was impressed Chris N was commentating then Chris B had a tootle and Adam R went for a squirt. What a grand day out Gromit!

Me & many others no doubt. He named New Zealand as his favourite country to ride, I imagine he was able to gain a lot of his experience there over the years. That wheelie he did was virtually vertical Wow 👏

Yes he is just a naturally gifted rider but has learnt his trade from years of competing & riding in tough events. When a humble novice like me watches him wheelie down & up a hill at the ABR its just breathtaking.

First bike - PW50 not CW 50... big difference.

He genuinely a cropper, all part of riding I guess. I heard him speaking to Chris Northover afterwards, Chris said he couldn't believe he decked it on the 1st corner so it was genuine.

He mentioned his best country to ride in was NZ and you compared it to the U.K. and Wales. Most videos I have watched on KZread of NZ looks more like Scotland on steroids, but I'm biased.👍

I've often heard people say NZ is similiar 'in parts' to the UK. I spoke to Rowan Jones & he compared NZ to Wales. Chris said 'parts of NZ are similiar to the UK but its hard to say as it changes so much', & 'a lot of variety of different types of riding'. I know last year prior to the ABR Chris went riding in Wales, I'm not sure if he's done any in Scotland, I'll ask him next time bud 👍

Midges are fine mate, so long as there is at least a 5mph breeze. It's the tourists that are a pain. I wouldn't ride the NC500 until late September/October or early Spring. I do prefer the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland, much longer route and not as busy. 👍☘️

@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips

Wheeling down a hill, wheeling up a hill to near a vertical stop & jumping a ramp, on a big adventure bike the KTM 890R. Chris Birch is 8X New Zealand champion, 3X Roof of Africa titles, 7X podium finishes Romaniacs (one of the toughest races in the world). So although it probably didn't look like it to you but there was a lot of skills to ride that bike the way he did in frontbof a crowd. The camera never really shows the steepness of the land as well. I get why you asked the question but there were years of experience & skills to do what he did there.

Meh
