Would have liked to hear more about bike maintenance or issues. That is a crazy amount of miles.

I followed Aaron on the forums. He was the number one reason I chose to get a 500exc for myself. I think of your story almost every time I ride it, especially on long rides. It truly gives me more confidence in the bike - along with good maintenance of course.

I came across Aaron in Dawson City YT just after I finished riding my 690 in Africa and Europe. He amazed me on a few fronts! The first was his 500. He proved it was quite durable for long distance riding. I quickly switched to one myself and love it! Another was he didn’t have a license plate and hadn’t had one through many countries!

Brilliant interview with Aaron! Thanks for presenting this one. It's amazing how far he traveled on the 500 EXC-F. Makes me respect my 350 EXC-F even more! Ride safe Dave!

Incredible journey and very impressed with a RTW trip on a 500 EXC! Aaron is an engaging character and a joy to hear his story.

[stringandreed]

You guys have the very best motorcycle channel on YouTube and I think you very much for all your hard work.

[bobsmyth]

Just a quick comment, half way through - Aaron has a great smile. Great interview Dave, you have a very relaxed style and know how to keep the conversation going. Cheers

Absolutely brilliant interview. What a great bloke. I love it that he did it on such a limited budget. Great list of questions too. I have a 500exc and as much as I love it, there’s no way I’d want to ride that bastard for anything like that distance! It’s an almighty achievement. A tough bloke on a tough bike.

If you end up in the USA doing the bdr's, make sure you head into BC for some amazing riding. Vancouver Island is amazing for dual sport riding, 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Just passed my bike license a month ago, planning a RTW trip with my new T7 starting on June 2022 if all goes to plan. Will film the damn thing as good as I can and hope to not die ! This interview, like so many content from MAD Tv has been insipational ! Thanks a ton!

Great interview and the USA bdr routes are now all over the east coast now!

What lovely chaps. Congrats to Aaron for an epic ride RTW on an enduro monster no less. Hope he writes a book - I'll definitely buy it. Love his indepth knowledge and humour.
