Well.. It's no secret that I love Honda's 😅 Here's a quick fun little unboxing of the freshly released 2025 Transalp 750... I'll do a Quick Ride episode with this bike later.. most likely..  https://youtu.be/8eeNaXZu5lg 

Would you like to see more content with the Transalp during summertime?

Sorry for the long delay on the NX500 build series videos. I've been waiting for some shipments for months so it's making us wait but I will be posting a lot during this spring. While we wait KTM's need some love too so yesterday was spent on the Bandit Garage working on this KTM 690 beauty 🥰

‪@OUTDURO‬  SCOUT FEST'25 tickets are available. Not sponsored! but you better pick your tickets fast as they will sell out fast. Awesome event and I'm gonna try to visit 2025 too but I'm not 100% sure I can do it this year as my trip to Portugal is about the same time but I WILL TRY to adjust so I could at least get one of those legendary Outduro 🍺 this year too 😄
I made a film 2024 you can check out here  https://youtu.be/jIdeIqoSUQ4

Chill past time CRF got some new goodies with a 42 rear sprocket, new chain and  ‪@rallyraidproducts1927‬  front sprocket cover. 
Definitely noticed some good punch with the 40 to 42 rear conversion 📈

GOOD NEWS! I've been discussing with a local aviation group about a possibility to use the local airfield as a testing ground for bikes and today I got a green light and it SHOULD be possible during the summer of 2025 🥳
Racebox testing just leveled up A HUGE amount 🤩

Question!:
What would you like to see?? The standard test that I have been running was from 30 to 120 kph as it was relatively easy to do on public highways but here I could push it further if I wanted...

This is also where I will test all the future tuning and possible powermods to my own and possibly other peoples bikes too. The runway is long enough to even do top speed runs but not sure if that's really all that interesting?

Here is the test chart so far:

Maybe I will open a few lines to go past 120 maybe up to 150 and above on certain bikes.

Using the airfield will cost me money so superchats and channel memberships are welcome 🤣

My hat is off to all of the channel subscribers! 🫡 I know it doesn't mean anything to anyone but I find it fascinating that so many people have liked some of the videos enough to press that button at some point.

So thank you for pressing that big red button and I will try to make something worth it in the future as well. 🙌

Taking a wee brake from videos.. Hoping to get next NX episode out in a couple of weeks if I get some parts from Rally-Raid until then. 
First time I'm actually a bit tired of making videos but I'll be back showing the build. Dedicated to post all the episodes.

Personal stuff for anyone interested:

Headache issues have been worse than normal the last few months so I needed to chill for a bit and get my head scanned. Just some permanent nerve damage in my head from the tumour.. shit is hard but we all play with the cards we have 🫡

Back posting fun bike stuff soon 😎

While I get the build series finished you can check out my last years trip to Norway here:  https://youtu.be/IvkKrskyT6U 

Would you like to see more travel content like this on the channel? Or would you prefer I made a separate channel for the travel stuff.. I'm battling this idea in my head as I suspect many people who like travel content don't necessarily like my build series and more technical motorcycle videos.

What do you think? ps. I'm gonna make films about Portugal and other palces this year too.

Rims & Tires episode will be delayed a bit as we are figuring some things out with Rally-Raid... Probably a couple of weeks delay on the next NX500 episode. I might post some other build video in the meantime.
