Good on ya,I'll donate £50 to Yorkshire air ambulance asap.
Well done Saffy, you kept yourself calm and continued on with the journey, I remember coming off mine fully loaded and trying to pick it back up as well, confidence blow a side, I was absolutely knackered trying to lift the thing 🤣
We often donate to the air ambulance, they do a great service and had them out on a run as one of our guys had a serious accident and the trauma team onboard managed to save him.
Well done happens us all when we venture off on mucky lanes we're not used to.How tall are you?because I'm thinking an adventure bike would suit you like an xtz660 or a t7.you could have knobby tyres more suited to those lanes and you could stand up on your pegs and handle the bike much better in those conditions, adventure bikes are a taller bike too but you look tall enough to handle them with ease.I seriously think you did well there.
That was a bit 8f a tumble and you handled it well. There will be more so don't worry lol…. My thoughts immediately though is something that I was guilty 8f myself when I came of my Versys 1000 . I had simply too much weight high up. I now put my sleeping balls and bedding in my too box. The heavy stuff either goes across the back seat or in the bottom of the 2 side panniers. It makes a huge difference. Good luck Saffy though you are doing great … 😊😊😊
If you ride off road and don't fall off, you aren't trying hard enough, lol. Going touring, let alone camping, at this time of the year makes you a candidate for the funny farm, I would rather watch it than do it. Fair play to you, and I hope the weather stayed calm for you.
You dealt with that situation amazingly, well done. The relief when you got the bike back on its wheels was clear to see. Remember you are doing something that very few people are willing or able to do so keep up the great work.
Hey Saffy! Um I feel compelled to ask you or atleast let you know about brown bears in Poland, tetra mountains and Bieszczady mountains, stay safe! Accidents happen to everyone, you handled it nicely
Saffi, I'm intrigued by your leg pouch / holster thing, I know you like to always wear something like that ….. why, is it comfortable and convenient or what ? Is your current one army surplus and would you recommend it over biker specific ones ? Which types have you used before ? Good luck with your trip and stay warm.
Well done Saffy, you done really well coping with it as you did. You done nothing wrong other than becoming a little over confident of the speed you were at as you hit the muddy puddles, a number of things can then cause a bike to go down in that situation. And at least you were not to hurt either, and the bike I'm sure is fine.
That was hard watching you go down. Or come off, as you might say. I could tell ur adrenaline was pumping. You do the same as me when I crash. You tell yourself over and over that ur fine until you believe it. Glad you weren't hurt.
Look as far ahead as you can when in dirt roads. It helps you pick the best line – and steer clear of having to ‘cross over’ which invariably means a spill. Got to say, you did brilliantly.
Well done you for getting off your arse and getting yourself in knots, best way to learn stuff, yir a lang time look’in at the the lid, poke it to the doom mongers, sit safe Saffy
Great video !! Motorcycling is an adventure, you prove the point. The track you followed is where so many poser's on their adventure bikes have nightmares about. Beautiful photography.
Well done saffy, after your spill rightly assessed the situation calmly while on an adrenalin rush. Liked the way you correctly used your back to lift the bike to avoid personal injury. This should also give you an idea for your next bike where this situation could happen again when riding alone. If you were my daughter I would be so proud of you. Ps hope rockets OK too.
Both you and Rocket are battle hardened now, Saffy! Honda Adventure Centre course or similar ? You obviously enjoy exploring the country side (as do I) so it makes sense to orientate Rocket that way if poss ? I'm a non biker, so it would be interesting to hear what tyres would be better and how far they could take you, or whether you'd need a different bike and why. Would it have been worth sacrificing some trail tyres for the whole trip – how long do they last on & off road ?
Good to know that you are OK, Saffy. You need to get an adventure bike with knobblies to tackle those muddy tracks. At least you were on fairly soft earth. I recently dropped my 240Kg BMW (from stationary) on tarmac. Hadn't noticed the gradient to the right and put only one leg down – bike leaned too far over and I couldn't get leverage to pick it up again. I went down with the bike and I can say that tarmac is a lot harder than mud – it hurt. 😢Anyway, lesson learned – not to be repeated. Keep it RUBBER SIDE DOWN! 😄
You did exactly the right thing to recover, didn't panic, thought about it and sorted it. The tyres let you down, once you get the mud packed in the tread you might as well be on slicks. Every days a learning day
You need a more heidenau k60 scout tyre for that terrain if that fits your bike. And falling offroad or semi offroad is nothing to be ashamed of. Everybody does or will do.
It's just a little mishap you're doing fine 👍it could have been a lot worse, you are on YouTube talking about it and learning from it. We learn from stuff like that,well done for raising awareness and money for the air ambulance 👍👍.
As you discovered, when the bike starts to go on a slippery surface, it will quickly become uncontrollable. Good job you had a relatively soft landing and no injuries to yourself or rocket.. Very sensible to remove the luggage thereby reducing the weight for the lift. Methodical thinking saved the day. Take care Saffy.
Saffy I think you thought your bike had become a tractor lol you were going plowing a few fields 🤣🤣. Glad your OK great stuff again stay safe on your journey.
You are very brave Saffy, but you could have broken your bike your phone and your leg in the middle of nowhere. But none of that happened, you are lucky.
Good on ya,I'll donate £50 to Yorkshire air ambulance asap.
Well done Saffy, you kept yourself calm and continued on with the journey, I remember coming off mine fully loaded and trying to pick it back up as well, confidence blow a side, I was absolutely knackered trying to lift the thing 🤣
A very powerful lesson there Safy. Don't take your bike off road! You were fortunately lucky.
Hi Sally what a brave and caring person enjoy your trip be safe and get back home x

To call your bike sports bike. That’s understatement .😉

Saffy, whenever I watch your videos there are three words that come to mind; mad, box, frogs. Please never change. 🙂
Great video !! Motorcycling is an adventure, you prove the point. The track you followed is where so many poser's on their adventure bikes have nightmares about. Beautiful photography.
clearly not the bike for that terrain and def not the tyres , plus your overloaded , keep off muddy tracks as you could easily injure yourself
Poland is a beautiful and friendly country and eating there is simply a delight.👌
you are so brave to go to the Poland in this time of year. I have been live there 18years its nice country
Well done saffy, after your spill rightly assessed the situation calmly while on an adrenalin rush. Liked the way you correctly used your back to lift the bike to avoid personal injury. This should also give you an idea for your next bike where this situation could happen again when riding alone. If you were my daughter I would be so proud of you.
Ps hope rockets OK too.
i love riding the back roads and greenlanes. I only have a 125 road bike. did a video recently with a friend, great fun.
Both you and Rocket are battle hardened now, Saffy!
Honda Adventure Centre course or similar ?
You obviously enjoy exploring the country side (as do I) so it makes sense to orientate Rocket that way if poss ?

Here I was, caught in the moment, moving my head side to side trying to look around the leaf to check if Saffy and the sprocket rocket were ok! 😅
Bad roads always get worse lol.
Good to know that you are OK, Saffy. You need to get an adventure bike with knobblies to tackle those muddy tracks. At least you were on fairly soft earth.

Your luggage and crash bars saved your bike from getting damaged.Hopefully.

Great job, Saffy!! 💪👍
Rather a drop than crash…
It's just a little mishap you're doing fine 👍it could have been a lot worse, you are on YouTube talking about it and learning from it. We learn from stuff like that,well done for raising awareness and money for the air ambulance 👍👍.
When I saw that first big puddle I thought that's where you were gonna go down. Well done for taking the time to stop and assess. Ride safe.
Atta girl. Keep keepin your chin up! You're a winner!

Fantastic!.Well done!.Dont stop seeing where a road will take you.
