Welcome to my channel Smiling Eagle Alex! Join me on an epic journey from Germany to Nepal on my trusty Yamaha T7 motorbike.
I'm Alex, a passionate traveler and rising motorbike enthusiast. I've always dreamed of exploring the world on wheels, and now I'm making it happen. Let’s do this adventure together.
🌍This journey is not just about the destination, but about the experiences, cultures, and and the incredible people I'll meet along the way. I'll be sharing stories, travel and motorbike tips, beautiful landscape shots and the challenges of long-distance motorbike travel.
😇Happiness: May it be within us. It was the main theme of my last big trip in 2017 - and it will still play a big role.
🗽Freedom: The main theme now - you will dive into what freedom really means to the locals I meet.

Geil! What size Mosko Moto panniers are you using? I also lived in Augsburg. Pfersee.
Very cool. Augsburg Connection. 👊🏼 I got the Rackless 80. Excellent quality and big versatility. Space is just enough for me together with the two side bags. I added some smaller bags from Maoko Moto as well. Not a strong as the rack ones though but also not as super costly. Do you want me to do a video about the packaging stuff?
@@SmilingEagleAlex Sure, please make a video. I am considering those panniers for my DR650 for longer rides.
Ok, cool. I’m putting the topic on my list. 👍🏼
Hi Alex, alles fit? Es ist Waldemar, sind mit dir zusammen im Salut Hotel gewesen,Was macht dein Arm, bist unterwegs oder alles umgeplant?
Hey Waldemar, vielen Dank! Ich konnte starten und gehe es langsam an. Wir sind heute im China angekommen. Super crazy hier. Und eigentlich genau so, wie man sich China vorstellt. Wie laufen deine Pläne für die Vorbereitung einer Motorrad-Reise?

Very well said. Thank you for these nice words. 🙏🏼
Kırgızistan is where you there
Yes, it’s so beautiful. 🤩
Next time please show more of the place around (even just the guest house or anything) instead of just showing your face for the whole video
Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated!
Hello Alex, my name is Baurzhan, we met in Kazbegi, Georgia, near the exchange point. I am from Chimkent ,Kazakhstan, if you remember, you asked me about our traditional dishes, about our national cuisine, I told you about pilaf, about samsa, I wish you to achieve the Nepal, we are pleased with each of your videos, don't stop, keep up the good work, we will always support you with likes, comments, views, you are a real man, I wish you success!!!
Hello Baurzhan, it’s a great pleasure to see your message. Thank you so much for reaching out! I absolutely do remember our encounter. I very much enjoyed Kazakhstan and the food as well. Please stay tuned for the Kazakh video to go online on 22nd of September. It’s a great honour to have you as a follower. 🙏🏼
Dass man nur eine trockene Kette fetten soll, darüber habe ich mir noch nie Gedanken gemacht. Ich hätte es dann wohl nach 5 Minuten trocken fahren einfach gemacht. Und nach 5 Minuten warten, bis es einzieht. Dass man eine Stunde warten soll bis das Kettenfett wirkt oder haftet, wusste ich auch noch nicht😀
Vielen Dank Theo! Das ist eine gute Idee. Also lieber ein Fett drauf das nur kurz anzieht als gar keins. Ich hatte bisher das weiße Kettenspray von S100. Die sagen sogar einziehen über Nacht. 😳 Soll dann aber 1000km halten, wenn kein Regen oder Sand.
Those caves look amazing. So good that they are still there for you to see
Thanks Adam. Definitely both a place worth visiting. I found Varzia a bit more special.
Добро пожаловать это прекрасный Памир.
Thank you. The Pamir is mind blowing beautiful. 🤩
Next iraq mountains 🤔
Probably also very nice. However, my route will take me to Kirgistan, China, Pakistan, India and Nepal this time.
Sieht sehr cool aus.
vielen Dank! 🙏🏼
Keep it up
😎 Thank you.
AMAZING!! 👍
Thank you. It’s truly wonderful!
Amazing Episode, Alex. I will certainly check out Angel's Home. Seems to be a good Spot for workation!? Save travels, my friend!
Thank you Volker! Istanbul for sure offers good workation opportunities. At Angels Hole get the better rooms they offer a nice desk for working. Internet is very fast. 👍🏼
ride on Alex!
To the horizon and beyond. 😎
Hi. Werde dein Reise verfolgen, wird 100% sicher spanned. Welcher Datum bist Du gestartet ?. Mfg Per aus Dänemark

Schöner Bericht, ich wünsche dir eine schöne und sichere Reise!

Coole Reise. Geniess es mein Bester 🎉
Vielen lieben Dank Alex! 🙏🏼

Thank you Alex for your first impressions of your new freedom ; )
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Good luck, Alex. I'll certainly continue to watch your videos. Safe travels!
