Who knew!! Germany, the land famous for having almost no legal offroading options, has a TET trail!
Sadly most of it is on tarmac. But luckily I‘ve spent a bit of time on google earth, tracking down the bits with the moat off roading action. So join me as I attack the last two thirds of section 2, between Schwerin and the Germany/Poland border.

I have the scorpion STRs and I agree not the best in wet mud but still a brilliant tyre 👍
Christmas greetings from Aiden🎅
Andy and rain ????/ Never !!!
Love that film.
I've been told that dealerships make almost no profit from selling a bike so turning you away for servicing seems like shooting themselves in the foot. Oh well. You can buy plenty of oil and chain lube for €500
Merry Christmas Mr Man Cam
Key take away from this video: more Alpine/Dolomite content coming! 🎉😂
My tip that I can give you for sandy roads is that you need to stand up, lean back a little to make the front wheel lighter and squeeze the bike with your legs. You need to be always on the throttle when going through the sand and don't hesitate.
With this technique, I was able to go through the sand on my FZ1 with ease at 30-40km/h.
Please do let me know if you find some trails. I’ve been looking for some time now and always ran into a not allowed sign or some angry German blocking the road and shouting at me 😂
Enjoy your holidays! 🎄
Freaking awesome! I was thinking why everyone is releasing videos but not my favourite you tuber! Such a relief.
Merry Christmas Andy
good stuff
I found the last 2/3 in the opposite direction more interesting. Did you run into a military area that you only knew about on the exit?
The key to riding sand is "We need more speed Captain" and steer with the rear (gas and brake). It's a bit (lol) of a leap of faith but once you get up there the bike just goes where you want it to, go too slow and the bike gets to think about it and do its own thing.
I do all my services and maintenance. You may need to get a box of shims of various thicknesses, a digital slide vernier gauge, and feelers. Merry Christmas.
Lots of Gelände and tiny bit of Straße. Very interesting.
Have you considered doing a long term review of the Touareg?
Servicing your own is definitely the way to go. Keep a book or spreadsheet of all the purchases and photos of what was done and when you come to sell, it should be as convincing as dealer stamps.
….. and finally festive salutations.
My TomTom had moisture between display and outside layer, got a new one as replacement, but this one came with even more moisture haha
I thought you said you're a shit off-roader, you're an expert next to me mate! I'm scared stiff of the stuff and you're searching for it!
You discovered Meck-Pom – Europe’s biggest sandbox 😂 Glad you survived! Merry Christmas to you and the folks 🎉
Great video/Great entre for the Italian Job series…!! 🙂 😀 Is the German TET worth using to get to the Polish TET though perhaps? 🙂
Hi Andy, you'll soon be an off road god! 🤙🏼
I've always serviced my own bikes, cheaper, faster and done right, downside you'll still have to take the Italian back to dealer for service light, also isn't the Tuareg 12k for valve adjustment check ££££ 😅
