During some rare downtime on shift, an idea was hatched in the Ambulance between crew mates, and you've stumbled on the result.
I'm a Female Paramedic who after falling in love with Motorcycle riding am embarking as a moto traveller, with zero experience, on a trial and error search for Rest Day peace.
The middle aged crisis is real, and often results in "Where am I, Who am I, and What am I doing?" moments, so you may enjoy this stripped back, no frills, honest account where I try to learn from my mistakes. 😏
Rest Days for those in the Ambulance Service are valued, so feel free to follow as I search for peace, quiet and to recharge the batteries, while trying not to die in the process.

I did like the CFMoto 450MT. I saw it at Fowlers, but had already ordered an Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT ES
Have you tried the 'COOL SEAT' Rugged roads sell it and it's the best thing since sliced bread ... stopps your butt getting wet in the rain and keeps it cool when it's hot.
Yeah, it's obvious that poor old Roger just can't cut it on the motorway compared to the 450MT. So easy to get to 70mph and it's not vibrating apart and screaming to slow down. It's now a case, do you sell Roger or keep him? Sell him and buy some panniers? Top box etc? Unfortunately, it's chalk and cheese isn't it? 😢
It kinda is, and just sentiments to deal with!
All sold out until 2025 apparently.
This doesn't surprise me.
I'm interested to know what you think of the ride quality. What does your, ahem! 🤭"Butt dyno," 🤭register as a comfort rating, with the new CF Moto, as compared to your experience of Roger the Himmy?
Hahaha, well, seat for seat the CF is more comfy, however I did have a sheep on the Himmy which made a big difference. I did 80 miles on the CF with no complaints, but may add a sheep later for cooling in summer and warmth in winter. 😊
It reminds me of the BMF Rally glory days at Peterborough. Looks great though
Charlie, your vlog is, as always, a brilliant watch but greatly enhanced by including drone footage! Without it, we would have no idea of the scale of the venue ... vast! Well done! 😍
That's what I thought and hoped to capture, so I'm glad it came across!
It's basically a KTM. Your shifting early. You can operate at higher rpm in lower gears. I had to get use to this on my Transalp. It's not a Harley.
I will, when it's broken in. I don't want to over rev the engine before it's 500 mile check in. 😊
Done that crossing more times than i can remember and toured Spain, and toured most countries in western Europe. Now living in Penrith Cumbria it took me and my wife 7 hours to ride to Portsmouth to catch the ferry last year. We're now going to tour Scotland & Ireland. Enjoy the Picos, great area. When you tour Europe, decent hotels, a good restaurant is a must.
I'm looking at Europe next year. 😊
Congratulations on your new bike hope to see them in Canada in October so the say.🤙
Looked a amazing event unfortunately I was riding my Himalayan along the Alaska highway on to Dawson City..🤙
Sounds awesome 😎
Outstanding ❤ Unfortunately there’s nothing like this or as well put together and organized here in the states. Just riding in that beautiful historic countryside blows my mind. Congrats on the new steed and I hope you have a jillion trouble free and safe miles on it!
Thank you 😊
It is a "feelgood"- experience to watch your vlogs, everytime. Keep up the good work and the rubber down.
Awe thanks 😊
What a great festival! See you there in 2025!
Absolutely!
Great video but I hadn't realised you had posted anything for a while then I realised KZread had unsubscribed me for some reason ? I only saw this video as it popped up as one I might like. Not sure if it affected anyone else or if you had noticed a change in the number of subscribers but Wiltshire Man said he had the same issue 🤔
Oh no! That's not good! Not sure what to do about that. 😐
Glad you had a great time. I will go there one day! Looking forward to seeing some of your Spanish blogs. Ride safe and enjoy your new bike, I’m enjoying mine 😊
Next one being worked on so part 2 soon. 😊
Watched The Missenden Flyer's video about this event. Your drone footage shows how huge it is! Looks awesome. BTW loving your new bike.
well Charlie i think your grown up now poor Roger is no longer useful but you learned so much from him i think you well end up moving him on to train some one else great vid good time had by all lovely
I was hoping to see you there but now not this time 👍
Next year?!
@@restdayrider already booked 👍
Looks fantastic! Another great vlog too 😃
Great video. It was my first time to ABR too. I loved it and have bought my 2025 ticket already.
Same here! 😊
New bike looks the nuts very nice and you look great on it , really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing xx 👍
Thank you. 😊
A great event all told. You must be absolutely chuffed to have your very special & this far limited edition 450MT in the UK! Proud as punch! Well done!
It was a great weekend, and I was very chuffed to have the only blue 450MT there! 🩵
Wish we had that in Sweden❤❤❤
Loving the new bike. Glad you had a great time both of you 😀
Thanks Charlie, looks as if everyone had a great time. So much so I've just booked for next year. Hopefully see you there. Got a name for her yet?
I have also booked for next year! She does have a name, I'm just waiting for the sticker and I'll reveal all! 😊
I would buy this bike in an instant, what a great looking bike and a good honest review 🙏🏼🏴
Thank you 😊
It was our first time at ABR this year too. We've already booked for next year as it was excellent.
So have I ! 😊
Did anyone bother to read anything of the disclaimer before signing it and handing it back?
I doubt it! 😂
It's massive ,I had no idea ,it was that size.thanks for taking us along
You're welcome 😁
If you are like me who has tried smaller power bikes, they are functional but the twist and go fun factor is missing for me. Part of riding a motorcycle is that whoosh as well as the other ethereal sensations. I sense you have found it? Thank you for bringing this and your channel. Enjoy the new bike. I have settled on a mid power bike 70bhp and provides all I need
She definitely has twist and go. 😊
Brilliant video Charlie, captured it perfectly 👍
Best Uk 🇬🇧 event of the year! Already got my tickets for next year! Missed you? Catch you next time! Happy days 😂x
Got mine too! 😊
@@restdayrider Get the Thursday ticket when they come out as well 👍
That was the best taste of the ABR by far, music and all. They should use it as an advert. And, you went on a bike and proper camped. 👏
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
You just can’t get that new bike grin off your face,, great show Charlie 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Hahahaha I think it'll be there for a good while! 😊
Loved the laugh on the overtake! 😊
😂
That looks a lot of fun. You looked great on your new bike, and it got to be star of the show 👍
It did, I was very pleased it had arrived in time to go. 😊
Ps Nathan the postman just did a cracking review on your bike , he loves it !
Glad you got to go on your lovely new bike !! unfortunately I missed it as had to suddenly visit my good friend who was ill in Spain ! Friends have to come first , Next year !
Absolutely, see you next year!
Wow awesome Rally Charlie and look at you go man you have come along way your one of my favorite vloggers ❤
Awe thank you! 😊
70 miles to the festival entrance then another 70 miles to get to the back of the camp site. So what was it like having Jay holding you up?
Unusual ! 😂
@@doctorpc4x4 🤣 funny 🤣
CHARLIE ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BIKE, IF FUNDS ALLOW WILL FOLLOW YOUR LEAD AND BUY THE MT450, LIKE YOU WAS TORN BETWEEN THE NEW HIMALAYAN AND THE MT450, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE EXTRAS AS STANDARD ITS A NO BRAINER, GET TO NO YOUR NEW BIKE AT YOUR OWN PACE, RIDE SAFE.
Exactly what I thought too. 😊
Hi Charlie, your new bike is looking well, hope your getting on ok with it , the ABR is definitely getting more popular, I must have a look up there again , cheers Mitch 👍
It was huge Mitch! I'll go again next year.
@@restdayrider nice one , I’ll see if a few of the lads fancy a look up next yr , might catch up again , cheers 👍
They had glamping tents cabins and campers already set up strategically placed away from the noise. You guys should have chose one of those. Kool that your bike choosen for show and tell. Good idea having drone footage showing just large the event was.
Ah but they cost a lot more, and it was user error not knowing to avoid the toilet tankers 😂
Fantastic , Looks like a great time was had by all.👏 You and the 450MT appear to be meshing well.👍😊
It was fabulous, and we are definitely getting on well. 🩵
Superstar, great video again!
Thank you 😊
Good Morning Charlie & Jay , That was one massive event , plus getting to show your cf 450mt in the arena whats not to like , thanks for sharing this , ride safe the both of you
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Superb, as always! Glad you and the MT are getting along...sold my '22 Himalayan to get something more suited to long trips. Loved it but just not suited to the American West. Happy riding!
Something like the MT would do well for you too!
Magic 🤙
Wow, massive venue. Good to know the portaloos are pristine (that’s important). Great to see the new bike on display stand 😎. What is the first service mileage ? 70mph during run-in is good 👍
It has a 500 mile check in. 😊
