Trippin' with Mitch

Welcome, come enjoy some of my adventures around the world. I try to get off the beaten path, hiking or on my motorcycle. Always keen to explore remote areas and sometimes get lost which can lead sometimes to real frustration or some spectacular finds. No matter how bad the situation may be I always look back and laugh because in the end the experiences are what it is all about.

    Beautiful place for sure . It would be cool to add some set up content along with meal prep etc along with some evening campfire stories or pondering . Give your take on your gear for cooking camping and other stuff you use . Looks like fun and I hope to be able to do one of these BDR routes one of these days .

    You are most definitely a trooper . I know tbe feeling of dumping my Tenere 700 in front of people eating at a busy downtown area in Santa Cruz California . Hadn't ridden in 14 months and she's a tippy girl but rider error was to blame . That one dump in the bushes at least the landing looked softer . That was some more tricky conditions for sure .

Next time tell the gatekeeper at the border you got a pannier full of blow and the other is stuffed full of Benjamins , lol . Do not do that , just would be so hilarious to see what tbe skink would do . Some might laugh and say have a nice day but more likely they would get all pissy and at least dig through all your stuff .

    Riding super muddy terrain can really be a challenge. Especially since all mud isn’t the same. I’ve got caught in wet clay before and by caught I mean experience it on my butt! Water crossings over concrete slabs is often the same, scary slippery!

    looks like you put your front wheel on backwards since your speedometer stopped working after you got that swapped! the tone ring is only on one side but yet the wheel will go on in either direction. speedometer not working is a sure sign of it being backwards.

    I applaud your dedication and drive but damn dude. You simply do not have the off-road skills to do this type of trip on your own. You need a partner to help you or some more seat time on smaller bike without luggage to practice the basics. I know riding a heavy bike in sand is not easy but drops 3, 4 and especially 5 were just from being uncomfortable. You are working the clutch way too much because you’re scared. You shouldn’t be revving the bike so much with the clutch pulled in while barely moving. You need to keep your momentum and keep chugging along. You are setting yourself up for injury riding way outside your skill level. Edit. I just watched drop number 6. Is that T7 the first off-road bike you’ve ever owned? You are going to get hurt dude. Get a WR250R or XT250 and learn the offroad basics. I’m not trying to be an asshole but it seems like you’ve watched too much KZread and thought you could just buy a T7 and a Klim suit and go do a BDR with minimal off-road experience

  • @TrippinwithMitch
    @TrippinwithMitch6 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the comments I appreciate the concern and totally get it. Bought a ktm 200 to practice on the trails. This is my 2nd T7. Watch how I trash the first one🤣! If you can stomach it watch how I finished the ride in 12 days..... And even the bike survived too! 😁

    @@TrippinwithMitch For sure. Again, not trying to be an asshole. I’ve been riding Dualsport/Adv for 10 years. I have a Super Tenere 1200 and a plated WR450. The T7 is a tough beast you won’t hurt it. Just keep practicing and be careful when riding alone. Lots of guys break bones out alone and need rescue and the BDRs are not easy even for experienced riders

    I enjoyed the videos of your ride. Thanks for bringing us along. I'm not an expert rider, but I know I like to ride off road, and if I slip in some mud every now and then, it's not the end of the world, right? There are a hundred BDR and TAT videos on KZread showing riders with similar problems on these unmaintained, often improperly-graded roads. I watched a TAT ride where the mud was so thick it packed the front fender with enough mud to prevent the front wheel from spinning freely (I think the front tire was ruined). I watched another recently where the rider had to walk his bags up a hill similar to what you had to do in this video. It's the risk you take riding these routes, and it's worth it to many of us. I think the adventure would lose its allure if you were guaranteed to not have any problems. I plan to drop my bike often so I can talk about it later. Hope you get the front end sorted out.

    Thanks for the support I totally agree. Sure it's frustrating in the moment but afterwards it's great if you escape relatively unscathed. Front end is all good. Still have to get odometer fixed.

    That's awesome! Always someone around to help as in your other video. I've found that watching a handful of T7 owners vids I gathered a few things and as long as I bring the tools, I can likely do the changes myself. I went above average in tool prep so... Center stand, moto winch in tank bag for lifting bike, tubes, patches, glue, valve cores. You probably know / have all this already. Front tire is easiest I've found. Hopefully you removed or swapped out the OEM rear. Without really heavier duty tools most can't remove the rear OEM tire.
