Portugal Adventure Country Track 2024 KTM 890 Adventure R 

Hello mate! I am pleased you enjoyed the video. Portugal is very close to my heart and the country I visit the most. For biking it has everything! It is 1st class for adventure riding.. The food, The people are lovely. Great place to visit or live. All the best, Ric

Nice one bud! Yeah it's a right ball ache mate. I missed a ton out too.. Anyway you'll enjoy the Pyrenees trip in a few weeks. Wish I was coming :). At least you got your 890r going again!! :)

Hi Hans!! Haha that’s funny… I have to say though so am very happy with my 890R. I think I found my unicorn bike finally 🙏

Hello Michael. Thanks mate appreciate the kind words. Pleased to hear you like the channel and my little vids. Yep hope to be around more so too.. Am off to the KTM 2024 Adventure Rally in October so all being well will have some interesting stuff to bring back :) Cheers Rick

Cheers mate :)

Thank you kindly for the feedback! And a big thank you for the work behind putting these routes together for us! 🤝

Thank you my friend much appreciate the feedback! All the best, Rick

Hey stranger! long time no see. As for the ACT ride it was wicked. And as for the your comment on the drone. It is the star if the show as they say. It does do some awesome clips. 👍

@RicardoYeep I really enjoyed it, looked a bit cold though

Further south you go it did warm up!

Hiya Rob. Yes mate for sure.. I am back out there in October as managed to secure a spot on the 2024 KTM European Adventure Rally :) Now that should be fun! Good to hear from you.

That's great, Ric. I hope you do some posting of that. It would be great to see 👍

Hello Simon!! That’s a wicked comment 😃🙏. Cheers bud !!

🤣🤣 I know mate.. it’s only when I said it I couldn’t stop laughing to myself.. gutter humour 😝

Hello and thank you for watching and comment. And cheers for the advice too. I will look into it :) All the best, Rick

🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thanks you mate! All the best, Ric

Hiya Bruce ! All well thanks mate.. been busy with work but I’ve now cut back my days. Hopefully more time now to catch-up! And I sold my 1290 to fund my next project… which isn’t something particularly of any interest to most.. it’s a MotorBike Camper Conversion!! From bare bones can to full comfy accommodation along with bike containment 👀.. may post a little clip up soon!

Hi Ian thanks for that. Mate you will love it!!!!! I didn't look for camp sites but to be honest I don't think you will struggle. If you do struggle then booking.com is your friend and stuff is really well priced there :)

Bonjour mon ami ! Merci pour ton commentaire et oui, ça a été trop long. Le voyage était incroyable. C'est probablement le voyage le plus amusant que j'ai eu. Tu devrais absolument le faire ! Bonne chance, Ric

Hi mate. Thanks for watching and great feedback. You lucky thing living over there!! Good luck with the trip. The Glamping site was at the end of day 2. This is the place Vale do Rossim Ecoresort Enjoy!! Cheers Ric

@@RicardoYeep Nice one 👍. Will check it out

Hiya Gary! Thank for liking the video. As for the Norden its great bike (one of my colleagues has one). But I am with you on your concerns for sure. Being an 890 owner (same bike pretty much as the Norden 901). In the nearly 3 years I have been at the KTM dealer I have heard of two cases. So not a lot from my point of view but nevertheless they exist. I have not had any issues with my own bike regardless of what I throw at it. But I have 1 year left on warranty... After that I don't know how I feel. The problem is there is no bike out there that ticks my box like the 890R or Norden. They are a phenomenal bike that does everthing with a big fat grin... I'll roll the dice and just keep regular services I think and keep it. Although I do miss my 1290R..... I would be lying if I said I wasn't considering going back to one haha... But so dam expensive to change bikes so often!! All the best Ric

Hello! I have owned a 1290 for a few years and after having the 1290R on the Pyrenees ACT I decided to sell it after. I enjoy solo adventures and I think the 890R is more manageable with still more than plenty of power. I still love the 1290 and may buy another at some point. But for now I stay with the 890R :) I wait and see what KTM brings in 2025!

Hi there ! I joined the Adventure country Tracks website / organisation. They produce trail routes in several countries. Similarly like TET trails but assured to be big bike friendly. However they provide all the advice on travel for each country and route as some are more technical than others and more remote. Some routes not recommended alone. Anyway here it is a wealth of information and options on their site 👍 All the best Ric! 🙏 adventurecountrytracks.com/
