Adam, how was your day? Really good. [Music] [Music] I’ve always wanted to visit Portugal and now thanks to Husqavana motorcycles that dream has become a reality. Day one of the 2025 Husqvana Trek. Um yeah, Husky invited me along. It’s a customer event. People just roll in with their customized Nordens like this expedition. Have a good day, dude. You too. Take care. And uh yeah, it’s a pretty big show. I’ve got a 701 in here somewhere. Had dinner with this guy last night. You You are actually the real deal, my friend. Nice bike. I got a motto of old gear. No idea. The Jouro fleet. New model 701. Oh, look. I guess that’s mine. This looks like uh all the rest of the Jouos. 701s all around. Don’t you just love the history of Europe? Beautiful. That guy obviously lives in Europe somewhere. What’s his name? He’s looks like a bit of a factory hero. Jandra. Jander. What’s the hold up? [Applause] Why is everyone freaking out? Let’s go team. Come on. Who’s this guy? Let’s see how this lad rides. He seems pretty legit. The check journalist. He looks the part. Wonder if he’s a rally guy. Looking forward to meeting these people at lunch. Wow, what a scene. Yeah, he’s good to go. He’s a clean rider. I like that the media guys are very conscious of their technique. They know they’re on camera and it’s good. You know, these are the guys keeping the dream alive, you know, like just telling the stories, presenting the machines to the masses. This is cool. It’s good to be in Portugal riding with, you know, dirt bike people. Wow. Far out. Some reasonably sketchy rocks. You got to watch the rear frigin tanks on these things. Wow. Yeah, it’s my number one gripe with this particular bike, these models, is the the petrol behind you, the rear tank. But, um, yeah, we’ll worry about that later. I’ll go into that business later. Let’s just enjoy the scenery, shall we? Nice engine, though. I will say that much. It seems there’s a lot of off-road freedom in Portugal. I’ve been here a bit earlier on a little family holiday and uh the people have been so nice. They’ve been amazing. And it’s one of those countries that, wow, you could quite easily live here. Just the vibe. [Music] The trick with that is don’t look too close in front of you. Look a bit further and you’ll balance so much better. Look a bit more further ahead than what you normally would. Cuz if you start staring at each individual rock, your your balance just goes w and you make it harder for yourself. Weaving small pieces of experience into conversation is a nice way to engage with people. But when it’s all said and done, I’m still the kid on the bike who started riding at 15. So I’ll never take for granted the world of motorcycleycling I’ve created for myself. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Yeah. Yeah. So, I saw your bike. I’m G Müller, like the soccer player. G Müller. Okay. So, I follow your channel and thank you so much for all your tips because I’m a re restart on the motorbike and I already have also a tener at home. Here you are, mate. You’re the real deal. Nice to meet you, sir. Nice to meet you. I’ll see you at the lunch. It’s nice when you get people so passionate about what I do has benefited their their motorcycleycling journey. It’s It’s pretty cool. Just take it easy, brother. Get through. Certainly a nice motor. It’s like a powerful KLR 650. It’s just got that smooth agriculturalness. This is the new expedition by the looks of it. Keep it together, son. Keep it together. Yeah, boy. pretty epic terrain. You know, I didn’t know what to expect with this event when Husky are dealing with such a a broad range of riders and, you know, rider abilities. But, um, this is a three chili breakout and it’s awesome that they’re factoring this stuff in. You know, it’s epic. Yeah. And I think some of the riders wouldn’t even know what to expect. Like, and they have everything in terms of are they going to challenge themselves? Like, some of this stuff’s pretty steep. We But look at this. Day one of the husky track. And this is fairly savage. It is, but it it’s not, but it kind of is, you know, Oh, some nasty kickers like just big sharp roly poly. rocks ready to back you clean off. Portugal, hey, had a lot of good olives. Olive oil, prashto, salami, good food and wine here. The land of good food and wine. Looks like we got the photographer coming up. beautiful Portugal. The mountains, the landscape, sensational. It’s a very comfortable machine to be blasting along these rocks. I’ll give it that. The suspension’s plush. That’s what it is. You just don’t want to get out of shape with the back end. That’s the only thing you got to worry about with this bike, keeping that tail in line. And it for for the best part it’s it’s pretty. But when that fuel starts swinging around behind you, it’s not a nice feeling. [Music] [Music] Heat up here. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] I reckon we’ll be stopping for lunch in that village down there. We’re on track. Yep. Right hander. [Music] Wow. Now this village has just been formed among the rocks. What a fairy tale place. [Music] This is pig. Yeah. Bacon or something. I think it’s station’s closed. The boys and I have been a little happy on the 701 throttle and are doubting if we’ll make it to the next fuel station on reserve. Lucky Huskana has a little team support out the back. A splash of dash. 100 octane. It’s rice fuel. I read it. 100 octane. [Music] Heat [Music] up here. [Music] [Music] on the 701. Portugal’s awesome And if you slip that thing out or if it gets kicked by a rock and gets that big swap going, it is a dangerous situation to be on in a bike like this. The I I don’t like the BMW F800’s for the same reason. I don’t like any bike with the fuel at the back. [Music]
