Excellent review of the ABR, and the Honda Blackbird- the best adventure bike ever- got a mention. Nice to meet you guys and I'll see you there in 2025.

@BikeMatters Год назад

Awesome to meet you too Sir! Couldn't not mention the mighty Blackbird. We'll definitely grab a beer (or two) in 2025!

I was one of the people who just threw on their helmet and away I went. Silly me, on had my 80-20 road tyres on my Tiger 1200 XRT. It did well, until a muddy patch, that always catches the unprepared out. This year, I'm more prepared. Getting 50-50s on, Bridgestone AX41 adventure tyres on. Should be able to tackle the trail better then. I went exploring the local roads, after that off. It threw my confidence a lot. I did the VIP last year, doing same this year as well. It's just sooooo much nicer being able to take ya time setting up on Thursday, and without the mission to get from festival to camp. Queues were much better (at the time I got there). Looking forward to this years. That much, I'm finding last years videos hahaha. Ergo, I'm here.

Top festival, well recommended for next year - with the knobblies on!

Absolutely! To many more!

@nobbystyles4807 Год назад

i got bollocked by the marshall for taking my bike to the toilets without a helmet a few times haha. i was just chaos. easily the best money ive spent on a festival in years. i smiled the whole time met some fantastic people. im getting tickets for next year before they sell out!

@BikeMatters Год назад

I can see that happening! 😂 Can't agree more, hope to see you there!

@crocksontherocksify 5 месяцев назад

Cheers guys, first time this year for me and really looking forward to it.. Good tip on the early bird ticket but £69 add on bit to expensive imo. May feel differently after this year lol Thanks again. Very informative

@BikeMatters 5 месяцев назад

Thank you mate! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

@ExeterCenturion 10 месяцев назад

Good video. I managed to ride the Desert X, Caofen, Fantic, Voge 300, Ural (twice, such fun), and the Tuareg. But I travelled up on the Thursday so was able to get queuing very early Friday morning.

@BikeMatters 10 месяцев назад

Excellent work getting around the manufacturers! Will you be attending next year? Thanks for the comment.

@ExeterCenturion 10 месяцев назад

Yup, VIP tickets booked and will be heading up with Exeter Rider and a couple of mates. @@BikeMatters

@BikeMatters 10 месяцев назад

Awesome, hopefully see you there!

@ExeterCenturion 5 месяцев назад

Yup, going to be attending with a load of mates this time too. Going to be such fun! @@BikeMatters

Any tips on routes there from Norfolk? Trying to plan a route thats not just motorway miles!

@BikeMatters 21 день назад

We just endured long (and dull) motorway miles on this one, but if looking for a more engaging ride from Norfolk: I'd get out towards Cambridge and divert towards St. Neots, then point your nose west towards Towcester, Banbury, and then up to Ragley Hall. Plus, not too far off the boring route if you have enough and need to just get there. Loads of amazing roads to ride in the Northampton area!

@Ruby1848 11 месяцев назад

Hi guys, I totally agree with your opinion on the tenere, what a bike. I loved it too. I did the early doors so got to ride 7 different bikes in total. I tried to book a test ride on Honda transalp but they cock up, so I ended up on a hornet. Wow! what a surprise. it was easily the best bike i rode over the festival and was far better than cbr650r and probably is one of the best bikes that I have had the pleasure to ride. Would I buy one? No. I love touring and my vstrom does it so well.

@BikeMatters 11 месяцев назад

7 Bikes! That is awesome going. Thanks for the comment mate!

@philliplum3845 11 месяцев назад

Great video guys.. Never been to the ABR.. Love to go.. But following a replacement ankle for a metal one, I can't stand for too long, and the queue for test rides would be too excessive.. If I booked onto the VIP package can you book test rides for over the weekend?

@BikeMatters 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment. With your condition you may be able to win over a manufacturer if you do get there early doors, but as far as we were aware you had to wait in line on the day... Alternatively the Yamaha stand was within a tent with lots of seating around so could be worth a go!

@jaythorpe63 3 месяца назад

Would I be out place on mt07

@BikeMatters 3 месяца назад

Not at all, I was on the Hornet and we spotted quite a few non adventure bikes there. Even an S 1000 RR! Just maybe avoid the trails on an MT07, haha

@martinfretwell 7 месяцев назад

If your really into adventure you could ride to the alps and go on the dirt track for less money than a weekend at the abr. Its all a bit artificial. If you like big crowds and have loads of spare cash go for it but to me its rip off .

@martinfretwell 3 месяца назад

It's absolutely shite you guys must be very new to traveling or on the pay roll. Rider training schools how to pack a bag beer in plastice cups after an hour queuing. Everyone trying to take your money and all run by road bikers playing on adventure bikes. My advice get away from all the bmw rich know it alls and get to the alps which you can do for less than the price of an abr ticket. It's all a bit cringe and gay. Be a nomad learn to do things without male bonding.
