KTM Adventure Rally China and Say No To Slow China - Chris Birch
I got invited to China by the KTMR2R team for their KTM China Adventure Rally. I’ve done these KTM adventure rally’s all over the world but never seen how China do it. Riding motorcycles, especially riding off road is a pretty new thing in China and there is a lot of excitement and a want to learn so we ran a three day Say No To Slow school the days before. Good times all round!
Check out our Adventure and Enduro video training at saynotoslow.nz
We have schools coming up in the USA, check out saynotoslow.nz I think there is space in Virginia and West Virginia.

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R vs SPRING SNOW lost footage - Chris Birch
Переглядів 74 тис.14 днів тому
Whilst down in the South Island of New Zealand last year I got invited by some friends on a ride up to one of the best view points. Being early spring we knew there could be some struggles. We had some big snow drifts across the track in places but I was confident the 1290 would be more than up to the challenge. For some reason we forgot to post this at the time, six months later here we go. #k...

You might have already seen this on Kriega’s UA-cam channel, but if you haven’t here you go! I’ve wanted to explore this area of New Zealand for a long time. At the end of New Zealand’s longest dead end road, with a history going back over a hundred years. Steep valleys, dense bush and the sort of slippery mud and clay that you have to see to believe. Welcomed by the families that work this lan...

Test riding a KTM 450 Dakar on my local’s

This was probably a once in a life time opportunity. A brand new KTM 450 Rally and the chance to take it for a run around my local dirt roads and a few trails. These bikes are built by KTM to do one thing, win Rally races. We are a bit short on deserts around here to really let it sing but it was enough to see how incredible these bikes are. Not an adventure bike, a rally race bike. Get your FR...

I originally got in to Adventure Riding as a way to share the fun of off road riding with Mrs Birch. With life and a kid that hasn’t happened for a few years.

There are so many trails around my home to explore and this e-bike is fast becoming my favourite way to explore them. It would be better on the moto but National Parks and dirt bikes don’t go together too well. These are old gold mining trails, I don’t know why gold miners made it so fun to ride ha ha.

Say No To Spend Tyre Changing - Chris Birch

I am often called a cheapskate, and it's got some accuracy - I do hate wasting money, especially when I can figure out a way to do it cheaper (or free) myself. So I thought I would show you how you can do tyre changes on an adventure bike for little to no dollars spent. This will free up money to spend on good tyres you can swap out depending on your ride, or petrol money, or save for a new bik...

    Chris I have hunted that mountain on foot for five decades and every visitor has respected that canyon as closed to off road vehicles, it's an old pack trail used by ranchers on horseback and hunters who work hard at earning their deer and elk. You come to our backyard, disregard the off-road travel map and create a single track trail that will now be used by everyone that sees the path you plowed. Not cool man. As an original OG enduro rider myself I've respected you for years but this time you led us down the wrong path, literally.

    • @ChrisBirchNZ
      @ChrisBirchNZ День тому

      If I wasn’t supposed to be riding this I’m genuinely sorry. It was marked on the map as a trail, there were bike marks we were following and it had been cut wide enough for motorcycles. I can promise you I do my absolute best to follow the rules.

      @@ChrisBirchNZ I appreciate your apology Chris. Please realize that all National Forest and BLM lands in Utah have Off Highway Vehicle Travel Maps available at local offices and online. If a trail is not designated for OHV use on the travel map, then it is not open to motorized vehicles, pretty straightforward.

    Both of you ought to take an honest to heart look at the ramifications caused by the amount of erosion your tires set in place..do you care more about your 'proper- workout' or nests of frog- toad eggs, gravel beds where fish spawn/ lay eggs..the disruption to all the wild life your travel thru makes. I say no entry to wild places..get your jollies on your own property or with virtual reality. And if you want to truly get a work out & deep satisfaction, do trail restoration and stream bed reconstruction. By the way your 9 yr old like giggling + yeah mate cajoling, turns my stomach considering simultaneously your flipping off the very most wildest real bro we have..the unspoiled wild places. This is coming from a biker, outdoor lover with passion for bikes both peddle & combustion.

    Wow! Another excellent adventure as always. Hopefully I can get to one of your classes in UT or elsewhere in the UT/CO/AZ/NM area. A class in Moab would be WAY cool, I'd trailer my bike there so I could both ride and then after the class was over take my new truck (Ute?) out as well. I want to try and get better so as to not embarrass myself....well, TOO bad anyways! Seems like the PEOPLE of China are really cool, too bad they have allowed such a horrific government to take over and subjugate them. I really hope they can free themselves from it one day. I'm actually surprised you were allowed to do this ride, but that's way cool! What surprises me is how "Western" some things looked, like some of the buildings (siding, roof, etc.). Also, what was surprising is that they were mostly KTM's, and not some Chinese off-brand, and how kitted out some of the bikes were. Interesting. Ride safe, and keep 'em coming!

    We have so many misconceptions about other countries and cultures. Embarrassingly I was surprised to see cows in China! I'm such a dummy!! We've been indoctrinated to believe that Chinese people are so different than us, but in the end, we're all the same. It doesn't matter where we're from nor what we believe, the love of motorbikes and adventure is universal. I loved this video.
