Honda X-ADV Road Trip
hello everyone and welcome to the channel. Today I'm starting my first road trip with my new Honda X ADV I had to reschedule it a few times because first there was a job then afterwards we had some thunderstorms here in Germany and a lot of rain so I decided to schedule it a little bit later and now I'm finally starting my longer road trip with it and yeah what is it all about first it's to test the Honda X ADV antage on long distance rides second it's a trip to relax a bit because I had a lot of stress on the last time and motorcycle or scooter riding is always relaxation for me and this is what it's all about I have no goal where I'm going I have no hotels booked so everything will be spontaneous and a little bit of a surprise so I have no plan where I'm going I just know that I'm going south today we have now 19 degrees will be 24 25 Maybe so quite Pleasant I have my summer gear on also a vest this is an airbag vest because I had an accident last year with my BMW scooter I decided to be a little bit more protected and safe because I had some injuries last year broken ribs and a few more damages on shoulder and on the knees so this time I decided be on the safe side get an airbag vest and so I'm wearing a helite airbag vest this time and now I'm doing the first 50 to 100 kilometers maybe on the highway on the Autobahn just to get out of the Berlin Brandenburg region and after that I will take only the small roads and then it starts to be for sure a bit more relaxing yeah so now I will enjoy a little bit my music get on the Autobahn direction of Leipzig okay I left the Autobahn now one hour that's enough these um much better roads than riding on the Autobahn Fields everywhere you look less traffic so this is good for relaxing just put some music on your communication system and then cruise on these wonderful roads weather is perfect not too hot it's 22 degrees now what a beautiful landscape here by the way the yep I'm using for navigation as the kalimoto app sometimes I also take Google Maps but no most of the time if all roads like this I use calimoto app and you can switch between Autobarn no Autobahn curvy roads or very curvy roads so it seems we are getting closer to the Saale Which is my destination for today and again some beautiful winding roads so I'm quite happy so far with the tour that Calimoto was giving me very small Road Pleasant to drive so I just make a short rest now just find a place somewhere in the shadow here on a parking place of a supermarket you set up perfect uh got it so four four and a half hours now it's enough I need a break so it's getting also much hotter now it's 27 degrees I took my windbreaker off it's too warm now now with just my summer jacket it's very pleasant when it's hot because it has a lot of mesh here which lets the air through yeah that's part of and Germany is called Thüringen and we are going in direction of Siegenrook um we're just directly on the Saale which is a river if you're in turing which seems to be quite beautiful and never have been there so really interesting to have a look it's a small River but he's moving like a snake through the landscape so I think it will look great to get some nice drone shots over there I really like the sound of the exhaust cool sound to my older scooters I didn't expect these kind of roads here also going a little bit up and down not like mountains but very interesting to write very small Street as you can see if they are coming to cars here will be interesting it's so relaxing to ride through the forest and I need some fresh air now smells good perfect yeah what can be better than riding with your motorcycle through the nature this is relaxing yeah let's see you now we should somehow get to the zala oh it looks like a Roman Viaduct fishing there yeah nice place climbing now a little bit so it's just six minutes and I'm in the hotel seems to be a nice hotel look very beautiful on booking.com so I hope I can relax a little bit take a hot shower get something to eat okay so this seems to be the way to the hotel which is interesting and now I can test the gravel mode so let's see I think you cannot really see it it's quite steep here it's an uphill whoa my first ride on a gravel road I hope this is uh the right route I think this is really weird I don't think this is the right way to the hotel find another one it's not possible that someone is going with a car up here okay so first time off-road with the x80v but I have to go down again this is uh this looks too Steep and too muddy and I'm heavy loaded so better don't risk anything and whoa and try to get down whoa the funny thing is on the action camps you cannot see how much it is going down here wow rear wheel is blocking no I don't think that this is the right road to the hotel no car can go up there oh slippery slippery here wet and muddy wow yes for off-road I mean this is really a heavy beast wow oh my rear wheel is completely blocking because it's so slippery here okay did it bitter Escape but let's see there should be another way the hotel hmm ah okay Google Maps did sent me the wrong way but okay short experience with some off-roading I mean maybe if it's not completely loaded the X ADV and um maybe not that uphill and muddy should be no problem to do any kind of gravel roads or soft off-roading but this way this Gravel Road here which was going up like like this this was I think a little bit too much ah Panorama restaurant Marine Dome I think this is a one where is the hotel it's called the panoramic Hotel so you should be it should be a nice view an overview we will see in a second yeah this street is much better Gravel Road not possible with us bike and the mud so parking where is the entrance again heavy loaded so here's the room so for sure I have to minimize my luggage okay this looks nice bit old-fashioned but okay these are the first two bags I have another one in the scooter which I will get in the second panoramic view I think I don't have a room with panoramic view it's the panoramic parking place View okay my first writing day is finished in more than eight hours on the Honda X ADV I found a quite nice hotel so I will take a hot shower now go for some food and then back up all my files and then go to bed early because I feel my back now even it was a lot of fun but uh more than eight hours it's enough that's for sure enough and if you like the
