As a South African, it’s really nice to hear someone say so many positive things about our country. I’m one of those that don’t even buy the newspaper or have news apps on my phone as a result of all the negativity. Safe travels through our country. Can’t wait to see the next episode😀
my wife and I purchased a Cardo in black headsets all because of your videos covering that subject and the tests you put Cardo and Sena through! Your sound test out the window of your vehicle was great. The sound canceling thing. I have ridden Harleys for 20 years. Honda and KTM dirt bikes for even longer. Last year we purchased a nice bagger the Harley Road Glide Limited. My wife said we have to have a communication system, I always liked listening to my music in my ear buds and talking when we stopped, so this year will be interesting to have these. Have to wait for the snow to melt before we can get out and ride.. We live in the state of Idaho , USA , just below Yellowstone Park and west of Jackson Hole, WY. Have a great '2022 year riding and be safe!! Thanks for your help, I enjoy your videos..
Yay you're back. Great video. Thanks for promoting South Africa as a travel destination. It really is the most stunning country with the warmest people.
You can really tell La Niña (7 year wet cycle) has started. I traveled the same route last year and it was bone dry! Blessings from the sky. You must enjoy!
Great to see you back. As a fellow SAfrican living in Canada, its great to see the old country again. Its a magical place for bike trips as the climate is moderate and the roads are generally in good condition. Also the buying power of the $ makes it reasonably cheap place to visit. Looking forward to your next instalment.
You’re right about SA being a generally safe place. The only time I felt things were really sketchy was in downtown Durban when there was some ongoing unrest happening. Everywhere else was very welcoming with genuinely kind people. I’m really enjoying your trip!
Glad you're back after a long break but I think you missed out by not going to see the Augrabies falls. You were right there and would have loved it. Still, great to see you're back and enjoying the ride.
Great to see you back with another video 🙂 I think it was "leaving on a jet plane" written by John Denver and made popular in the UK by Peter Paul and Mary ! Take care and keep the great content coming and my regards to Dave !
So that's TWO floods one one trip so far.....right. Let me know where you are touring next, so I can make sure I am somewhere else! Great series, I am really enjoying it.
Great video. Nice to see you back in SA. I think when we met in Romania 3 years ago, I mentioned to you I had been in SA watching golf about 4 years before and had really enjoyed it. Keep safe and ride well. Cheers.
Great to see you back on screen. Some wonderful scenery and lovely blue skies, very jealous of the temperature as I sit here freezing. What's the best time to visit SA to avoid the tourist season (If there is one) but still have good weather?
The song was...."Leaving on a jet plane" by Peter Paul and Mary mate, not Rocket Man by Elton John. Don't give up your day job for singing will you? Regards, another Dave.🇬🇧🍻👍
In the centuries before automobiles people had already established how to commute and the correct side of the road is to keep on the left. Without going into too much boring information people who drive on the right generally do not have a monarchy.

Love the South African trip very interesting the world is getting smaller and open spaces are hard to find.
Excellent 👌🏻 beautiful blue sky’s 😎 most of the time! Was beginning to think you pulled up on a beach somewhere and forgot about us!😎😂😂
Stay safe 😉

I have a 22 GS on the water - really loving your videos! Well done sir. Greetings from 🇺🇸

Great to see you back with another video 🙂

Take care and keep the great content coming and my regards to Dave !
Got 12 more episodes to make. Time to get to work!
Yeah!! You are back. Couldn’t wait for the videos. Great to meet and able to say hello at Cape Town airport.
Hey Arthur! Plane was empty :D Good flight!
So that's TWO floods one one trip so far.....right. Let me know where you are touring next, so I can make sure I am somewhere else! Great series, I am really enjoying it.
Really like your videos. Hopefully someday I'll make it to South Africa for a similar ride. Your videos will assist in my decision.
Great video. Nice to see you back in SA. I think when we met in Romania 3 years ago, I mentioned to you I had been in SA watching golf about 4 years before and had really enjoyed it. Keep safe and ride well. Cheers.
I so look forward to seeing what's next
Glad you're back. I was getting worried. 👍👍
Damn bro, i thought something happened to you .. Don't go away so much without saying anything !
Back in Romania now I presume, so riding and posting didn't work out. Looking forward to watching the rest of the trip. 👍
Yup. Impossible since we rode about 8 hours a day :D Too tired to do anything after.
Those "grapes" really do look good dude

After the first week in January, everybody goes back to work. Perfect time to visit.
@@LongWayHome or before the 2nd week of December. Most people have off before mid December to after New Year's.
There really isnt a "bad" time to visit. The climate is rather mild in winter (not like a European winter).
Very nice!
nice video, just a quick one, why is your top box on from the side ?

I've missed Dave sooo much, oh yea, you too. Did you lose anything from your open tank bag that is right in front of you after filling with petrol ??

Ahem 🇬🇧
The bags that you were putting into the panniers... can you tell me what they are as in make/model etc. Looking for something fro my 1250 GS A
The original BMW inner bags for the aluminum panniers. Made packing/unpacking a lot easier.
@@LongWayHome Thanks for that. Cheers mate.
I am concerned that Dave was alone on Christmas Day and did not get any presents.
Sorry i may have missed something but why is the bike named Dave 🤣
From my assistant that usually "helps" with the videos that are shot in the garage.
🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Nice video. But if you wanne see South Africa, stay away from the tar roads.
first!
