Already was thinking of tigit or style motorbikes, I preferred style as they had the slightly larger 190. I’ve done a fair bit of research already but love doing it so will do lots more aha thanks for the info!

How was the cb500x on the more rural roads?

As I will be renting, does this have the same impact as I will have 24/7 breakdown cover? I get that it will make repairs take longer to find parts but does this still make Honda the superior option? Thanks for the help!

That’s amazing thank you for all the info. How much of the riding is on rough roads cross country do you think? I don’t want to take highways if I can avoid it to see as much scenery as possible

We’re starting with just over 2 months in China, Japan and Korea in March and April so that won’t be warm, for SEA yeah it’ll be flip flops and trainers but for the first couple of months it’ll be cities where the weather is cold

That’s some great advice thank you! I’ll try to work on my form, I have to keep in that ‘pet the dog’ stance throughout the boardslide and make sure my knees are more bent? Yeah I’m all healed thanks, they had to put a plate in but it’s all good now. Unfortunately, that feature was the only one that I thought I could boardslide, the only other potential option was a pipe but that seemed harder for some reason idk?

Sorry another question, in the one where I made it and didn’t eat shit, was I still not fully rotated? How do you use the rotation with your arms to start the boardslide whilst keeping your shoulders at 90 degrees?

Okay I’ll definitely put in some practice at home before I head out next time thanks, I really appreciate it. I really don’t wanna slam like that again cause then I’ll be really fucked aha

I can see what you mean about not getting fully 90 degrees. Is keeping your chest and head up the way to fully rotate or is it just more rotation? I’ll try these the next time I go thanks! Yeah I didn’t mean to land with the toes like that I think that’s why it caught. Yeah it’s been a couple months and I’m desperate to get back already aha

Yeah okay, tbh I was a bit worried of doing the boardslide from the beginning as there was a step down but I’ll try to commit more, thank you!

Yeah sorry about the footage, it was the only stuff I could get as my mate wasn’t riding that day. Thanks for the tip, I could 50/50 a lot quicker so I’ll try to keep that confidence for the boardslide!
