Sand, forests and ferry crossings. This is what Lithuania and Poland throw at you over and over again. And. If sand is challenging, wet sand is hell 🤣 Who wants to go to Thetford forest to train? 😉 #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

We need to shout out more about good experiences with brands! We see a lot of negative ones but not always the positive ones! This is the dat I tried this view with the @insta360motorcycling went great and I really liked it. Unfortunately, the official accessories only lasted one day during my trip 🤣🤣 I think the windshield vibrates way too much. At least, Insta360 have accepted to replace my camera under warranty which is great! #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

I am so glad these guys were driving through! I almost dislocated my knee a couple of weeks before my trip and I clearly hadn’t recovered at this point 😅 While getting off the bike (on the other side as I couldn’t get off the other way) my knee cracked and just lost all its strength. Thankfully these guys kindly stopped and helped me lift my bike. *No bikes were harmed in the making of this video 🤣 The @outback_motortek crashbars and @loneridergear took the hit without suffering any damage! If you know them, tag them ❤️ #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

Here it goes Day 2 of the Pyrenees trip! We started in Vielha and finished in Ripoll after visiting Andorra because, why not? A bit of a shorted day, just over 180 miles but really intense with all the small unknown roads around the Pyrenees. We saw a fair amount of snow on day 2! The Continental TKC70 were amazing at handling the dry and wet roads with the quick temperature changes we faced! Grip through and through! #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

It has taken a while but finally getting around to posting some videos of the Pyreness trip with @kalimotxo_de_azufre . Day 1 started in Pamplona and we headed along the Pyrenees all the way to Vielha. Amazing roads and landscape but a long day with over 250 miles covered! Vielha is also a nice town for an overnight stop with plenty of places to have some good food. Oh! And the @cardosystems worked amazingly! Even in the gorges and mountain passes they kept us connected at all times. #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

Why do people think bikers just want to die? 🤣 I cannot be the only one that has thought this. If you ride anywhere outside the UK, have you noticed this? #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

15,000kms. What a trip! Now, it’s time to rest, give the bike and the gear some love and get all the photos and videos sorted so I can share some highlights. In a few days I will be reflecting on the whole trip and sharing my thoughts. Drop me a comment with anything you may want to know 👍 #adventurerider #rideuk #keepitreal #nobullshit #motorcycle

Over 5000km running the @dunlopmoto Trailmax Raid. Here is my personal and honest take about them. Dry roads ✔️ Wet roads ✔️ Gravel ✔️ Mud ✖️ Sand ✖️ Great all round tyre for big bikes if you mainly ride on road and gravel. If you want to venture into more loose surfaces, I would recommend something a bit more aggressive. And you? What’s your go to tyre? #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Leg 4 of @paris.nordkapp We made it! The end is here! Amazing off road sections in Norway and reaching Nordkapp and experiencing the midnight sun was incredible! Thanks to all the @paris.nordkapp team for your hard work putting this event together! Now, my holidays start. I will be riding back to England following the Norwegian coast, another 6000km of pure enjoyment! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Leg 3 of @paris.nordkapp! From Lithuania to Sweden! Still a bit muddy and sandy in Lithuania but riding in Sweden was amazing! I have to admit, it felt long and a bit repetitive as the views were similar all the way… At the gate in Sweden I finally changed my TKC80s after over 5000km of harsh and demanding off road and a long stretch of motorway to get to Paris and in Germany. Hands up, they behaved amazingly and there was plenty of wear left for road riding or hard packed gravel but I had hooked a tyre change so it was due. If you want to know more, just ask! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Section 2 of @paris.nordkapp was hard! The terrain, the weather and the extremely long routes made it truly challenging. I thought about giving up multiple times and just using Google maps to get me to the hotel for the day but I am glad I pushed through and checked all the waypoints. Continental TKC80s managed all the terrain amazingly, Cardo kept me connected at all times, LoneRider ADV Bags kept my stuff dry, Scottoiler kept my chain healthy, Klim gear keeps me dry, Nexx helmet kept me comfortable all day long, Motohansa tools came to the rescue when I bent my wheel #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Day 3 @paris.nordkapp. Lots of motorbike and road closures that made the day even longer! The off road sections in Germany were surprisingly good! We reached Gate 1 in Berlin where we had access to everything we needed in the @motorex area to get the bikes checked and ready! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

No review of routes today but a bike DIY 🤣 Aren’t trailside repairs fun!? 🥲 Motohansa tools are definitely worth their cost! This is the 4th thing I use them for this trip 🤣 #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Day 2 was a blast! Riding in deep lose sand was hard work but so much fun! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Actual day 1. After a “good night” of sleep I tackle the first French section! I am so glad I had a night sleep! The night riding caught a few people by surprise and drop from the event just after a day of riding 😅 #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Kicking off the @paris.nordkapp series to tell you a bit more about the different days and what’s going on. If you have any questions, please ask! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

2 hours to go for @paris.nordkapp Such a long day! I need some rest as soon as we leave! I will aiming to do a daily reel to talk about the day before so you all truly find out what this is all about. If you have any questions, leave me a comment! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

One day to go for @paris.nordkapp!! Check it done and ready to get a good night sleep before the big day! Last thing I have put a lot of thinking in is… luggage! @loneridergear definitely delivers in this space! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

T-4! Navigation for @paris.nordkapp ready! @thorkracing DMD-T865X paired with the @carpe.iter BMW control works amazing! It means I have the benefits of an android device but being able to use the wonder wheel on the BMW. And the @quadlockmoto always comes with me to keep my phone charged and in case I need a backup navigation device 💪 All connected to my @cardo_uk Edge Pro so I can listen to music or get navigation instructions 💯 #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

T-6… Yesterday was a busy day so no posting but today, let me tell you about the bits I have fitted on my 900GS @acerbismotorsport @barkbustershandguards @doubletakemirrors @get.ruby.moto @loneridergear @outback_motortek @perunmoto @scottoileruk @swmotech @wunderlich_gmbh Graphics by @shredgraphics #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

T-8 @paris.nordkapp! Service done, full check done! ✅ Chain with @scottoileruk ✅ Brake pads ✅ Fluids and filters (@knfilters for more longevity) ✅ New version of the @contimotouk TKC80s on (really looking forward to testing them). Have I missed anything that is subject to normal wear and tear? #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

T-9! Preparation is key to any trip, even more if it is a 5 weeks and over 10,000 miles! Although I didn’t need it, I thought I would get the bike serviced and get a new set of tyres on. #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

The countdown has started! @paris.nordkapp starts in just 10 days! Am I truly ready for 5 weeks away, long days, off road and on road crossing the artic circle and reaching the northernmost point in Europe accessible with a vehicle? #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Credit, credit is due! I know I have been hammering @wunderlich_gmbh about a couple of their accessories but they do really good stuff too! These are some other accessories I have on my bikes. #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

It feels like I am just moaning but I feel we rarely get the the truth from people online as people don’t want to upset people… I want to be more honest so here you have my first hand opinion of another accessory… It feels like @wunderlich_gmbh builds one lever and finds a way to adapt it to multiple models instead of building it for specific models from scratch, which would be more expensive obviously. #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Is adding “protection” always worth it? In this case I think it’s not! I will be returning this part as I think it is useless 😅 #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Bike ready for the big adventure! That’s to Shred Graphics for putting this designs together! Thanks @thewrightsigns for installing it! #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Unlucky or lucky? 🤔🤦 When you get a puncture but you are close enough to home to ride and make it your future’s you problem 🤣 #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit

Trying new places to mount the 360, thoughts? 🤔 I like the views and angles but when the bike is visible you can see how well the X5’s stabilisation works, look at the vibrations 🫨🫨🫨 #rideuk #malonmoto #adventurerider #ukmotorcycle #nobullshit
