    Hi ACT Team, I would like to ride the ACT next year. When I discovered the movie on YT my happines was big. But the disappointment afterwards was even bigger. So much pathos was really hard to bear. And especially the constant: amazing, awesome, really really and really great and more amazing again... Sorry, but at some point I couldn't listen to it any more. It sounded to me like a huge promotional event and not like a report from a adventure tour. Too fake. As a rider, I would prefer less posed driving scenes, but more the "real adventure" from the tour and, above all, the whole thing should be more informative than pathetic. I think, that would be really cool for all those who want to ride this route in the future. Thanks and best.......................Artur

Überlege mir, ob ich das nächste nächste Mal nicht lieber die leichte schmale 200er Beta Alp nehm. Die sollte das doch auch packen?

    We did this track from 5.6.-11.6.24 with three motorcycles. Me with my XRV750, two friends with GS800 and one CRF1000AS. Yes, heavy bikes, but not too heavy for this track. Long story short: GREAT! We loved it. It starts quiet soft, but from day 3 there are really difficult sections in it - especially when you don't use the easy alternativ routes. We were really happy you scouted this track and enjoyed it from first till last day. Some advices I can give: - As less luggage as possible, much preferred softbags - don´t ride alone - take care of enough water, especially on day 3 and 4 - even some parts are even paved roads, a few sections are for experienced riders. don't overestimate your capability - navigation: I used GPS combined with iphone/OsmAnd. I like the way OsmAnd can route a track but mobile lost connection in the mountains. So GPS is mandatory. - Take care in Pitve, island Hvar. There is a curve with extremely smooth and slippery asphalt. My front wheel slipped and my bike gave a kiss to a lantern at the side. no damage, but lots of luck. It seems its really the asphalt, we searched for oil ...could´t find another reason. We always ate great food, but I would like to highlight Restorant Fortica on Hvar and Restaurant & Pizzeria OK, Karlobag. The owner of the latter restaurant organized accommodation for us while we jumped into the water straight from the track. Brilliant breakfast in the morning and his girls and team in the kitchen gave us a great evening. We always looked for accommodation in the evening, sometimes camping, sometimes apartments. Price sharing an apartment is frankly cheaper than camping. If possible: Tbc Enjoy, Volker

    You know, I really like the concept, but why do you have to make these videos so "cheesy"? A little bit of com is fine, but you are overdoing it. If there were less com and more just showing the track, it would be fine, everybody saying the same thing all the time becomes boring!

    Not everybody is so motorcycle friendly. We met a very angry Swiss hiker lady who was stopping me and literally shouting at me ”It’s forbidden to ride a motorcycle here!” for two minutes. And I mean shouting. Of course she was wrong. But no way to have a proper conversation with her. However i agree with her that the shared trail along the abandoned railbed is not a good route choice. That trail is actually signed as cycling route, but there are no signs banning motorcycles! There are too many cyclist there (some of which are NOT slowing down at all and are meeting you on the wrong side) and I think it’s sadly just a matter of time until there will be an incident. So folks: ride safely and slow down significantly when you meet other trail users.

    Fantastic ride! I am looking SO much forward to going myself! Thank you so much @Adventure Country Tracks for opening these possibilities for all of us (who are not so good at finding such beautiful tracks ourselves...)! I see that many of the riders are using adventure type helmets with goggles. Could you please say something about the pros and cons of that solution? And maybe also a few words about clothing in high temperatures?

  • @CosmicSeeker69
    @CosmicSeeker693 ай бұрын

    Much like the bikes - the ADV helmets are a product of marketing a dream. A concept, an image. As for clothing - there are endless vids on this subject - especially looking at hiking videos but you'll end up buying only natural products if you're sensible. Again, much of it is over hyped badge engineering so read the specs before buying. Silk and proper Marino wool are your friends. Don't forget that you'll need long sleeve base layer even in the heat as it will stop your jacket getting sticky on the arms. Good luck

    I fully support the general ACT idea, but this pseudo-advertising at „influencer“ level is a disgrace for the off-road trail community -> Too many riders at once on too heavyweight bikes! There‘s a reason the TET for instance strongly discourages riding groups of more than 6 people: It’s annoying to the locals (who _will_ urge for legislation to limit motorcycling), it’s unnecessarily dangerous (accordion effect), and it’s lowering the pace for everybody as soon as anybody stalls. I honestly prefer TET over ACT - riding truly challenging goat trails alone or in small groups… instead of some middle-aged dads cosplaying all day as ‚adventure rebels‘ while essentially riding the same guided tour on way overweight 1200cc tourers with hard luggage on car-sized local farm- and woodland trails at geriatric speeds.

  • @ACTev
    @ACTev5 ай бұрын

    Thanks for your comment … I’m one of the middle aged dads . :) you actually almost found the point of difference between our friends from TET and us .. not all of want to ride small CC some of us want to go on a 2,3 or more K trip where a big CC bike is a good choice but we still wanna have smaller adventures this is what ACT is for. Your recommendation on group size is correct we also recommend a size plus minus 6 but for the movie scout we Al sways have a bigger group and yes we have a advertising side in it, which is clearly based on our supporters without them we couldn’t do the film so it’s always a balance. You also wrote riding alone or in smaller group .. we do not recommend riding alone at all! Anyway i think it is good to have both options TET and ACT to have choice. Cheers
