That road is so beautiful now. It was full of rocks in 2021 when we drove up there in 4x4s. Well done guys. I'm buying a motor bike soon and I will be joining you on adventure.
Nice ride. It's so green and pretty. It's also good to see that the road has been fixed. When I did it last January, it was in a horrible condition. But no matter the condition, Sani will always be an epic ride that requires respect for the road!
You should watch Itchy Boots video of her riding up the Sani pass alone on a Honda CRF250. The condition of the road that you rode on up the pass is like pavement in comparison to the condition when she rode up it.
That’s the thing about Sani Pass. You never know what condition you’re going to find it in. Most times it’s a gamble and you need to be ready for anything.
A CRF250 wouldn’t get me up the hill. Itchy is a cute Dutch little lady. I’m a large Dutch Irish man. I need the R1250GSR just to get going. Best bike I’ve ever owned for riding anywhere.
Thank you. Regarding the road tyres, you should’ve seen the situation that unfolded the day before when we encountered mud and clay on Lower Lotheni road… That was more action packed than Sani Pass 😂😂
Well, it was actually a Q3. But when I saw it coming down I was like: “Sani Pass is not the same anymore”. I had to edit that out of the video 😂😂 Happy riding with the GS 😀
Nice video. Tastefully done. You had nice weather compared to 4 of us on KTMs coming up a bit later that same morning. We had misty/cloudy conditions for most of gravel section then clear skies beyond the last switchbacks. We went back down again after lunch. Great experience. 😊
I remember you guys arriving as we were leaving. We road onwards into Lesotho and to be honest the best riding and scenery happened later on that day in the Lesotho mountains. I’ve posted a video of that too.
Great video Bruno! Thank you for sharing! A few years ago I did Sani Pass on a Dakar 650 with some friends and the conditions at the time were terrible. There was lots of rain and ice, which made it hard going getting up. Nevertheless, with much sliding and many close calls, we eventually made it to the top. Well done to you and your fellow riders for taking those big bikes up the pass successfully! Wishing you many more safe, and exciting kms, on your bike!
Thanks Richard. I’m sure you’ll be able to do it some day. The key is preparation. Most of us don’t just wake up and suddenly decide we’re going to ride up there with no experience 😂😂
I recently visited Sani Pass, this time in a 4x4. Current conditions are much worse than what you see in this video. Enjoy it though - it should be a blast.
@@GetLostAdventure I use the red tape on the back corners, and yellow reflective tape on the front corners. I also added reflective dots. Yellow on the sides, red and blue in the back. A flash of police blue keeps people back.
Height 175 Weight 60 Would this kind of bike be OK for me? Considering how heavy and high they are coz yall look like big gents m a bit skinny. I wanted a cruiser bike it's less intimidating but I doubt it'll handle well off road
Good video, i ride an air cooled engine GSA. I rode with you at one ride but I wouldnt say you have riding friends or willing to make friends with guys trying to ride. the F800GS that had puncher on Dullstroom ride we had with the likes of NKO, Dr Wezi, Papi, etc etc from Bronkhorstspruit i had to cut it short at Loskop Dam. I wouldn't to ride with you because of things i picked up from you.
Hello Barney. I do remember you. The last time I rode *off road* with *complete strangers* was the day you showed up, and it was then that I decided that I would never do it again. It is a very risky thing to do, for multiple reasons: - guys show up poorly equipped. That day he had a puncture and he had absolutely no clue about anything. He even tried to plug his tyre at the gas station not knowing that it isn’t even tubeless. I personally spent a huge amount of time on the trail (time we couldn’t afford on that day) trying to help him out - but you conveniently forget to mention that. - strangers show up on off road rides and they have never actually ridden off road before. *Zero skills!*. This is highly dangerous as that person can get seriously hurt or cause an accident with someone else in the group. So these days, I choose VERY wisely who I ride with. I need to know you, and I need to know that you are a competent off road rider. To be an adventurer, you need to be very organized, well equipped and skilled. Otherwise you will fail when attempting to do adventure trips such as the one in this video. Cheers ✌️
How Good WAS those roads. Way back then when Goverment and Authorities cared. Way, way back, like neary 30 years. 🤔😳🙄😬😪🤕. I am talking the tar roads in towns
Well done guys! We also just did Sani Pass on a 1200GS , with my wife on the back. I have so much to learn. Check out the video on our channel if you like.

Thank you so much ouens for these videos. They are encouraging and also entertaining. Thank you mtv for pimping my ride
Glad you like them!
I am a proud owner of a 2022 r1250 GSA and this video made me melt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys, to me, are like G#d's !!!!!!! 🙂🙂🙂
Beautiful machine 👌🏼. Enjoy it
Brilliant video thanks for sharing😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😀

Awesome bro. Please remember to do offroad training and practice too. And a big fat BMW isn’t the best weapon for everyone out there ✌️
Nice ride. It's so green and pretty. It's also good to see that the road has been fixed. When I did it last January, it was in a horrible condition. But no matter the condition, Sani will always be an epic ride that requires respect for the road!
It is very beautiful looking this time of the year

That’s the thing about Sani Pass. You never know what condition you’re going to find it in. Most times it’s a gamble and you need to be ready for anything.
And that was in Covid times. She encountered no other traffic at all! Every thing was deserted and closed. Gave a total different experience !

@@thatguy8005 💯😀
That looks like it gets REAL tricky REAL fast with some rain.
Good Ride Gents, you are supper stars
We had a great time. Thank you Nko.
Really enjoyed watching this ride. Sani looked easy from previous but well done to you guys. Can't wait for the other parts of the trip.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great ride guys - Sani pass nicely compacted but you did it well ! I cannot imagine why anyone would want to do this trip on road tyres !
Thank you.
Regarding the road tyres, you should’ve seen the situation that unfolded the day before when we encountered mud and clay on Lower Lotheni road…
That was more action packed than Sani Pass 😂😂
The white Audi A3 giving a wave as they passed 😂... nice video, just got a R1200GS after riding road bikes for years.
Well, it was actually a Q3. But when I saw it coming down I was like: “Sani Pass is not the same anymore”. I had to edit that out of the video 😂😂
Happy riding with the GS 😀
Nice one guys!! That pass is epic!! Hella Fun!
Thanks. It was a good ride with good mates. Already looking forward to the next time - maybe 2023 or 2024.

@@GetLostAdventure I'll check it out. NK told me how nice it was beyond Sani. Next time....
Great Video, nice choice of music and super voiceover 😃👍
Thank you very much!
Excellent ascent up a tough pass! Well done!
Thank you 🙏🏼

Well, you definitely have some priceless memories after that experience 😀.
That looks amazing! Great riding!
Thanks
Awesome Sani caption. great watch, next time ill be there

Thanks
Great ride!
Thanks for sharing!
Dave 🇨🇦
A pleasure Dave. Thanks for watching.
road was in pristine condition. Lucky you.
im just about to pull the trigger on a superduke 1290 but after watching this, im leaning towards the GS. Nice video. Hug from Joburg
Both awesome bikes. Good luck with that decision - either way you’re going to have a blast.
Nice one, on my bucket list.
It’s a must do.
You guys made that look easy, well done 😊
Fun times 😀. Thank you
Lekker Video! Well done!
Thanks
Great video bro
I wish I could do this God bless ride safe
Thank you 🙏🏼
Would love to do this road but it's way above my skill level and we have too know our limits 🤣 stay safe guys and upright
Thanks Richard.
I’m sure you’ll be able to do it some day. The key is preparation. Most of us don’t just wake up and suddenly decide we’re going to ride up there with no experience 😂😂
Nice roads in Himeville!
Great for Adv bikes 😂😂
Looks like a pretty good adventure
Priceless experiences
Cool video!
Thank you. There’s more content still to come.
A very interesting ride. The road looks in much better condition now than when Itchy Boots roade it on her Honda 250cc, was it last yar?
I think Itchy Boots did it last year. Road is in much better condition now.
@ Bruno Scholz Oh, the Sani Pass Road was in top condition, you are lucky guys!!
Yep, we were not expecting that to be honest 😀
wish i was there ... priceless
Awesome times. Priceless indeed
I Must take my XR500R up that pass very soon as my 1st offroad experience
I recently visited Sani Pass, this time in a 4x4. Current conditions are much worse than what you see in this video. Enjoy it though - it should be a blast.
Ok 👍👌 super
nice bro Good work i like u
Thank you 🙏🏼
Some of my club members were there and hope 2 join u guys someday, nice one👌Pathies4life
Top guys 👌🏼. We had lots of fun
I’m not the only one that puts reflective tape on my cases
Yep. It’s a good thing to do - very practical.
@@GetLostAdventure I use the red tape on the back corners, and yellow reflective tape on the front corners. I also added reflective dots. Yellow on the sides, red and blue in the back. A flash of police blue keeps people back.
That is Not the sani pass of Kinga (onherbike) and Itchy Boots.
That’s how Sani Pass is. You never know what you’re going to get.
i did the sani pass 3times, but i have never seen in this good conditions
Next time you check again, it’s probably going to be a beautiful paved road 😂😂
🇱🇸🇱🇸
I cam imagine that traction would have been an issue after they crate the road. That challenge doesn't show on the video!
Especially for the guy who showed up on road tyres 😂😂
Been living in the us for 6 years now I forgot how band the roads were
That’s where the adventure bike rises to the top of the food chain 😀
Lekker one Boet.
Thanks boet

If you want to ride off road, get yourself a smaller, lighter bike. Most people are terrified and not very capable of riding the big bikes off road.

When itchy boots did was really bad.
That is true
at 18:53, why don’t you help them instead of just to continue to take the video? 😢
We’ve been through a lot - I know my guys. They were just fine. If I thought they needed help, I would’ve certainly assisted.
Well done guys! We also just did Sani Pass on a 1200GS , with my wife on the back. I have so much to learn. Check out the video on our channel if you like.
I watched the video. You guys rock! 😀
Positive attitude is half the battle, and the never give up spirit 💯 ✅
@@GetLostAdventure That is wonderful. Glad you enjoyed our little video too. Looking forward to your next videos.
Thanks but I fell asleep
No problem. Sleep is important 😀
If I wanted to listen to music I would turn on the radio
Puddles are not river crossing
Thanks Steve. Anyone who’s been to Sani Pass will tell you that there are two river crossings. Happy riding ✌️
Itchy Boots ride the sani pass looks worse than in this video.
That’s possible. Sani Pass can be your worst nightmare, or a walk in the park. It depends on the condition of the road.
