RTB EP: 7 reunited with our T700s after the crash 

why she commit suicide? regret of selling the house to live like a bum?

Bikes are awesome. Bad day? Go for a ride, it'll be better. Good day? Go for a ride, it'll be better 😄

And the good cup of coffee! 👍

Good suggestion 🙂 That fits well.

Indeed

You must be a biker yourself =) Thanks!

@@RidetheBean 35 years :-)

You are absolutely right! If you first get hooked it is hard to quit 😝 I’m impressed that you started so late but I guess it is never too late to learn new skills 😛

Thank you 🙂 By the time the snow melts we are back on the bikes again 😛

Thank you 😊 It feels good too 😝

Thanks, Ryan! So sorry to hear your mom had to say goodbye to her dog, too. It's never a good time to say goodbye to such good friends, it will always hurt. Hugs to your mom!

@@RidetheBean Thank you. I miss her little girl, too.

We could really use some two wheel therapy. Unfortunately the bikes are still in the shop waiting for parts and winter is coming. But come spring we are back on the road again 😛

I certainly understand having to wait till spring to ride. I was able to ride 4 of the last 5 days here. But, will be soon getting cold here too. Probably have a light snow tomorrow, 11/30! Maybe down to 25F. Still, we will have a lot of nice days in the 50’sF. Tennessee is far enough South in the USA to distinctly have all four seasons of the year. We are very fortunate to have Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter! You all be safe and hope you both are getting better. Good to see Kenneth out of the hospital and visiting the motorcycle shop. .....By the way, I have no idea what to name the Ténéré’s. Maybe, I’ll think of something to suggest! ........ how about: Jekyll & Hyde lol... maybe not .....

Thank you so much 😊

Absolutely! Hope it hurries up 😄

Glad to hear! It's nice to present a healthier, quicker Kenneth =) He did look like shit, but thankfully now he looks heaps better =) It could have triggered some PTSD, but thankfully that wasn't on our mind. Taking the bikes for a ride will be the next test for PTSD. Thanks for your support, Bob!

Haha, yeah that's a good idea =) Thank you!

Wow I just signed in to say bonnie & Clyde !

Thank you 😊 We just have to work hard to get back by spring time 🙂

That was an interesting idea 😛 I usually don't drink much coffee from any of those places because of the altitude, but I like the idea 😝

I think you are right about that 🙂 Pia has been incredible through all this 🙂

So sorry to hear you had a serious accident too! But it does inspire us that you're back on your bike now, both off and on road. Good job =) Sami names, that's a good idea since it happened where it happened =)

Thanks, Peter! =)

Thanks! That's a cool suggestion =)

Thank you 😊 I really want to ride again too 😝 But unfortunate the bikes are still in the shop and winter is come 😔

Thanks! That's a cool idea =) It's on the list! =)

Thank you Harry 🙂 I can't wait to get back on the bike 😛 Where are you planning on going when you get to leave? Maybe you can even bring your son along? 😝

@@RidetheBean Hi Kenneth's I have a dream of going to Ushuaia at the end of South America almost in antartida and then going up to Alaska, but that's only about 5 years from now, when I will have more time. And by then, maybe T7 will have arrived in Brazil, which is banning entry due to the emission gases that come out of the exhaust. Hard to believe but it's true. kkkkkk! Health and big hug.

Held and Lykke! =) Thanks

Thanks! Good ideas - how come I didn't even think of Florence? 😄

Absolutely! But no grinder dance, we´ll have to do something about that. Big hugs right back at ya, Steve! Hope you're well =)

No not to our knowledge. It probably won't until they figure out who is responsible for the road.

Thanks for the ideas, Nelio! 😄 Norse mythology is so interesting. We can't wait to get on those bikes again! 😄 ❤️

That is true. Thank you 🙂

Glad to hear you have recovered 🙂 Luckily I will to in time 🙂

Thanks! 😄 So good to see them again 😄 Good ideas!

Thanks, Laurie =)

That is true. I do understand why people hang up their gear after a crash. But at the same time I don't. If you enjoy riding you are aware of the risks and just have to accept them. No reason not to get back on the bike 😛 But I do think it will take a bit of time before I am as confident as I was.

@@RidetheBean I've seen many crashes due to riding simply too fast and above skill level. One must keep ego in check. I realize this wasn't your situation at all. I think the trick is to ride around 80 percent of your top speed and continually practice. Once mental or physical fatigue occurs it's usually best to slow down and call it a day. Most aspects i'm referring to are riding, what we term "single track" in eastern Canada, on much smaller displacement bikes. I own a 12gs as well and believe a great many of the skills learned riding single track on the smaller bikes, are transferable to the big bikes, with less a faster learning curve. I'm not saying it would have saved either one of you, but as soon as I hit the dirt on my gs, i'm standing. This allows me to absorb unexpected objects, have better control, and a better vision of what is ahead. Obviously, one needs a certain skill set to brake and shift while standing. Chirs Birch, one of the best hard enduro riders does both big and small bike classes around the globe. We've had him do them in Ontario Canada the last few years. Great guy. this should make you smile. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JWIZfYQhgMc.html

Thank you 😊

Yeah, they looked surprisingly well! Yeah, he looks tired =)

It was really nice to get out 🙂

Thank you 🙂 Thats a good suggestion 😛

Love the Flintstones! Thats a good suggestion 😛

We both feel a lot better 🙂 The bikes are still in the shop awaiting parts, and winter is coming. But when spring is here we are back on the road 😛

Thanks 😊I do feel a lot better 🙂

@@RidetheBean I’ve been thinking. Perhaps the bikes should be named after Odin’s ravens 🏍

It was nice to finally see them 🙂

Thank you 😊

Thank you Nick 🙂

Thank you 😊

Hehe yeah it was a good feeling to see them again 😊

I hope so 🙂 Thank you.

Thank you, Felipe! =)

Yeah it was unfortunate. But we were pretty lucky. Come spring we will ride again 😛

Good advice. Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

That is an interesting idea 🤔 Thanks for the suggestion 😛

I like names from Norse mythology🙂 Thank you

Thank you 😊 Yeah it was tricky to see. But we are lucky we will be fine again 🙂 Winter is here now, but come May we are off again 😛

Thank you🙂 I'll try 😝

🎸

Thanks! Thor is a good one 😄

Thank you 🙂

Feels good to move around 😛

Thank you 😊

Us too 😝

Feels good to finally move around. And great to see the bikes again. They are now awaiting parts from Japan 😛

Yeah, that ditch was pretty rough on us. But we're still here =) Cool, Rocky did handle his beating well. Thanks for the ideas! On another note: do you think Zina and Rocky would like each other?

@@RidetheBean you kidding? zina smoking hot and rocky is just pure manly. Both of you fit the Bill. Pretty and tough. :)

10:52 is Einundalen, Norway. You can see more from that trip here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V94s5PAMiSQ.html Such a beautiful place!!!

Thank you 😊

Thanks! 😄

That is true. She did. Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊 They do look pretty ok. We'll se the full damage once they fix them 😛

and we can't wait to be there! 😄

There is nothing more I want than to get back on the bike. Unfortunately they are still waiting for parts and winter is coming. But in spring we are back on the road for new adventures 🙂

Thank you 😊 Come spring we are back on the road 😛

It’s good to finally be out 😛

Thanks! That's a funny idea 😄

Good idea 🙂 thank you

That is true. I can eat more and more each day 🙂 The workshop went over the bikes and said they would be fixable, so I assume the frame was whole. We did really have a close look at them. I like that name suggestion. Thanks 🙂 The bikes are still in the shop and will be there over winter. But in spring when we get to rode them again we will talk a bit more about what was done to them before we head off on our journey again.

Wow! Thanks! That is a lot of good names 🙂 The forks on my bike were damaged a bit. But new parts are n the way 🙂

Thats a good suggestion 😂 Thanks

Let’s hope you are right 🙂

Those names are fitting 😛 Thanks. I haven't been called that since I traveled South America 7 years ago 😝

Hi Daniel! If the feeding tube ended up in his stomach, we could have given him meals with the food, by setting the pump to up to 400ml/hr. But Kenneth's problem is further down than the stomach, and his tube ends in his small intestine. The maximum advised speed is 115ml/hr. That speed worked some days, but others he got nauseous and we lowered it to 70ml/hr. The liquid has 1,5kcal/ml, and he needs at least 3000 kcals/day to gain weight. So that's why the pump had to work almost 24/7 😊

Thanks🙂 good idea 😝

Thank you 💜 Yeah I get that. It is tough for me too.

@@RidetheBean hang in there mate. There is a lot life has to offer ✌️

That is a good idea 🙂 They will go from ice cold Norway to scorching hot Africa 😝

We plan to! =)

Yeah I feel better each day. I was lucky. Where are you planning on going? and when? Glad you took something away from the videos 🙂 We learned a lot ourselves and its good to hear others also took something from it 🙂 Like you say, accidents happen and we just have to use them as lessons 🙂

We have been bitten by the bug. It will take more than a crash like this for us not to want to ride again 😛 The guys at the Yamaha store are amazing! They have helped us out so much. I'll say hi next time I speak to them 😛 Good names. Thank you 🙂

🙂😊

Thanks🙂 glad you like it

Thank you 😊

That is a good, and very obvious choice 😛 I like it 😝 Rocinante sounds elegant. I never read Don Quijote unfortunately 😔

😁 If you called them "Nutty" and "Fruity" you can "Ride Your Bean" . 😉 I call my Ténéré "Rocinante", 'cause sometimes she is a little bit bitchy and toss me off😝

Thanks. They look like they will be done soon :P

They are now in the shop waiting for parts, and winter has come here😒 But by the time spring comes we will be back on the road 🙂

Hi Gordon! We're so happy to finally make it out a little bit. Glad to hear you're grinning! Thanks for your support =) Another vote for Held and Lykke is noted :)

You are right they should mean something. Those are interesting suggestions. Thank you 🙂

Great idea 😛 Loved that show!

@@RidetheBean Both of you get well soon! Wishing fellow bikers nothing but the best & joy in life!✌😎🏴‍☠️

Yeah surprisingly they were drivable after the crash. Thank you 😊

Hehe I like Xena the warrior princess 😝 Thank you

@@RidetheBean Yay! :)

Thank you 🙂

Those are good names. We wanted to do one, but the guy never got back to us. Then we got to know a few crazy and very experienced riders who took us out and bought us a lot. Since then we have been practicing a lot by ourselves and met up with them now and then for more training. We still have a lot to learn though. So if we get the chance we would like to do more training 🙂

Sorry to hear about your son. That must me tough for you as well. I don’t wish this on my worst enemy.

Phoenix is a good name. Thanks 😊

Takk 🙂 Det føltes godt å endelig kunne få litt frisk luft 🙂
