- On my trip across Africa and Europe I had to do some offroad parts here and there. So here is a small video showing from Morocco to South Africa, the interesing bits are in Congos!! Awesome riding there, for sure!

Pues, después de ver el video te quedas con ganas de más, tu cara habla por sí misma que gratificante viaje. Pues mira te propongo una cosa, un episodio del blog, o varios, según creas que puedes ir acoplando está información. Consejos y orientación a los que estamos encabezonados con algún gran viaje. Como empezar a preparar, cosas que tú has necesitado o has echo mal y te arrepientes, etc etc no se, una especie de guía. Yo cada día lo tengo más claro, a ver de aquí a cuando esté preparado y tenga todo (un par de añitos) como están las cosas para intentar algo así.... Gracias Isaac por compartir estos momentos tan chulos con nosotros. Solo me arrepiento de no haber descubierto esto antes. Un abrazo fenómeno
You drove pass my village in Rivers state Nigeria. Thanks for uploading this video.
Awesome experience you have just shared with us, many thanks my friend 👍🍻
+anthony mcdougall Thanks! :)
Ha ha I love the last shot. I won't ever moan about a tarmac road again! Super video of an amazing adventure. It must be great to have the footage to help you remember the trip.
I keep coming back to your videos after 10 years and they are still awesome!
I want to do this so bad. It’s on the bucket list 👍
Do it! You'll never regret doing that :)
The music, the takes... Mate - what a treat to all us dreamers who got their GS's or KTM's, planning on That Trip, wherever and whenever it is to be.
And you have done the Mother of them all, Brother :)
Plus, a great Video/Sound workout combination.
Respect Isaac!!
Thanks Dario! :) :)
I really hope BMW sponsors you, because this 8 min long video is way better than any advertisement they can make. Really inspiring.

Tot un exemple, impressionant Isaac, felicitats.
Amazing video. Did you travel alone? Any chance you posted this on a blog or other? Like the routes, tips or advice and so on? :-)
Not a single problem with the bike. But I crushed the front rim going FAST offroading with a flat front tyre... I broke the rim. Then i put a reinforced tube inside (4mm thick) and it is still working fine! But I have to replace it sooner or later. ;)
Menudo aventurón! ENHORABUENA
Hola Isaac! Enhorabuena tanto por el viaje como por el video, me ha encantado. Can't wait for the 2nd episode! Tengo una pregunta acerca de las maletas que usas en tu viaje, ya que al ver el otro video en el que golpeas la maleta con la piedra me ha llamado la atención que la pieza de anclaje fuera de plástico. ¿Has usado las mismas maletas para este viaje? (Nomads). Al margen del precio, pienso que las originales de BMW deben ser más fiables al tener los anclajes metálicos... ¿Qué opinas? Take care, mate!
El problema que tienen las originales de BMW es que en caso de impacto fuerte no tienen nigun punto debil, por lo que al final se acaba rompiendo la maleta o el subchasis, cosa nada recomendable en caso de estar de viaje lejos de casa... Con las Holan Nomada y las Touratech Zega la parte debil es el anclaje, que a partir de cierta fuerza se rompe manteniendo el subchasis y la maleta a salvo. Basta con llevar un par de piezas de recambio y listos. Llevo usando estas maletas desde hace mas de 100.000 kms y todavia estoy encantado con ellas. Solo las cambiaria por unas Touratech Zega Pro, pero las originales de BMW no me las compraria para hacer un viaje on y offroad. Si solo fuera para asfalto quizas si, pero para campo: no. ;) Un saludo!
Hola Isaac, com es que cap al final del vídeo en el quadre d'instruments de la moto hi ha un llum vermell parpadejant? Brutal els teus vídeos.
Crec que et refereixes al led vermell del mando a distancia de la gopro? (A la escena quasi nocturna...) ;)
EXTRAORDINARIO
Gracias! ;)
Great respect for your adventure)) By the way i think your post should show more of you. More than big figures, the intensity of a trip relates to what big it leads to happen inside of your mind and soul, isn t it?
Ja l'havia vist fa anys, però continua sent un gran video! Llàstima de música ;) ..... iiiiiiiiiiiiii..... què prim i jovenet!!!! XD
I loved Africa, the food was good, people were super-nice and my helmet is an X-Lite X-551 (awesome helmet!). ;)
Quina enveja tiu !!!!. Muy buen viaje, si señor !!!!
Isaac.. This is a really amazing and inspiring achievement! Great video and I'm sure you will (and have) inspired many to follow your lead and explore this beautiful planet. I for one am one of them and I am wondering if you have a website or a blog? perhaps a map of the route you have taken to give a rough example/indicator to people who want to try doing something similar? and generally any details, thoughts, etc ! Thanks and again, Big Respect and Great job!!
Hi Faisal! Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad I can inspire someone to enjoy our beautiful planet!!! :) :) I have a facebook page with more photos/details of the trip, but do not expect a lot of details... you can always ask me anything that comes to your mind! Search for "Isaac Feliu" or "Africa Call" on facebook and you'll find me. ;)
Cheers!
Awesome job, congratulations. great video where for once the music is non intrusive but complementary.
Madre del amor hermoso! Flipo mil contigo. Eres maestro, mentor y motivación. Gran vídeo, pero sobre todo gran viaje. Estoy seguro de que no le hace justicia. Tenemos que hablar de África! Abrazo!
respect!!!
GOD DAMN IT MAAAANNNNN.....god damn it, u're my hero by far:)
hate youtube that i can't put +10000 to this video.
that what i call a REAL ADVENTURE TRIP on A REAL DREAM BIKE :D
u have to do a blog or a forum about this adventure, i have a 100 questions to u:)
what do you regretted not having change on the GSA?
what about security?
have you slept in hotels? or in a tent in the wild?
what serious mechanical problem suffers the GSA?
it should avoid buying gasoline in cans? is there a risk of being mixed with some shit?
seriously, i need only a little motivation to do the same, u troubled my neurons amigo :)
u have done one of the best solo trip that a biker can dream of it, congratulations^^
Haha!! You can send me all your questions via email to isaac (at) moterus (dot) es
And I'll try to answer them all. ;)
Wow c'est impressionnant vous n'avez peur de rien!
Merci! ;)
EEiii Isaac. No paro de ver tu video.... que bueno, con ganas de la 2a parte. Por cierto, como se llama el tema de la musica del video?
Saludos.
Respect from germany!
Thanks!
Fair play to you,fab video :))
:)
BMW GS - The Best.
Music runed it for me, would have preferred the sound of the motor. But amazing footage none the less. What an experience that must have been.
Man, you did put Charlie Boorman and Ewan Mcgregor to shame! Doing all this on your own... Wow!
I envy you. Congrats, mate. Congrats...
Dantton Rose Hahaha!!!! Thanks mate! :) :)
No diria que son los paises mas seguros del mundo, pero en ningun momento me senti en peligro por alli... por otro lado, en congo perdi un guante, por eso salgo muchas veces sin guantes, y cuando llevo todo el dia rebozandome con el barro a veces prefiero no llevar guantes para ir mas comodo! ;) Gaaas!
Awesome video, awesome bike, awesome music!
What is the name of this song? Artist?
Keep riding safe!
Al Laurie Thanks for your comment!. The music is from Sven Snug, song called "Pink Donut". ;) ;)
Yeah, it was a truly grat adventure! I have to make the second part of the video, from south africa to egypt. :) Cheers!
Hey Isaac! Another great envy-inducing vid amigo! You suck for torturing me this way, ha ha :-). I love your tarmac embrace at the end...long lost friend eh!? I don;t have Facebook, but I'd still like to see more details of your trip, where you camped, how secure you felt, hassles with border crossings & the like...do you have another website with those details?
Another great adventure, and awesome edit!!! Yesterday i bought a GSA 2007. Planning a trip to Nordkapp.As a very experienced rider on gs, can you tell me please, what is ups-downs of the bike? And what i have to setup? Thanks :)
If you are planning to pass through Albania, somewhere, somehow, let me know. We have Thousands of km offroad tracks, which we are using for Rally raid Albania, and international race..
Cheers , Relian
That's so awesome, I have not been that far on mine yet?
:) Thanks!
Hablamos cuando quieras maderfaquer!!! Las ganas que tengo de verte! :) :) Disfruta de tu viaje y no te agobies con los videos, ya ves que los puedes hacer 3 meses despues de volver a casa! :D :D :D Un abrazooooo!
I watched your Africa 1 video and the Nurburgring vid back-to-back while recovering from back trouble; 4 weeks before the doctor says I can ride my '08 GS again. Thanks for the great photography, editing, and riding. Were you on TKC 80's?
Hi Ted! Yeah, I was on TKC80 for this trip, good tires! :)
I'm happy to hear you can ride again!!! ;) ;)
Cheers!
Awesome Ride.......
Thanks ;)
By seeing the end of the video, one can imagine you appreciate the image of a tar rode!
Hehhee, sure I do! ;)
Thanks Rafal! You can find everything about this trip on facebook(dot)com/ isaacfeliuafricacall also on africa-call(dot)com
I can only dream of doing similar, balls of steel required I think. Enjoyable video. Thumbs up.
Un saludo! ;)
hi, great video again! looked at your site on africa-call but my spanish is not that good! wondering what mods you made to the bike and I also like the windshield too.
did you have any issues with fuel?
thank you for the video
Hello!
No issues with fuel, and about mods, nothing special, just some few touratech protectors here and there... The windshield is the original GSA one, cut in half with an electric saw, and then painted. :)
Cheers!
Awesome trip man. I'm hoping to do a similar trip from Cairo to Cape Town some time in the next year or so. I was just wondering how did you plan your route?
Hi Kraslan, I don't care much when planning a route, just get some tracks and waypoints from here and there, mix them together and just start riding... you can find lots of useful information in the hubb forum (search for horizons unlimited). Cheers!
Super tune
Well done that man
Yes, it is great to have the footage! :) Thanks mate!
Great video!
Were there any Visa problems.
I know people have cycled the Silk Road through Central Asia but they have to arrange all the Visa stuff before hand.
edydon I had some visas beforehand too, but most of them I got on the borders or inside the previous counry ;) ;)
Gracias Isaac. Estare al Loro de esa 2a parte.
Saludoos.
En este viaje llevaba un Richa Spirit C_Change, para mi el mejor traje del mercado en relación calidad precio. Bicapa, con la membrana c_change (superior al gore-tex), y tecnologia nanosphere para repeler la suciedad. Con protecciones homolgadas CE a mitad de precio de un traje de similares caracteristicas. Este en concreto lo he llevado durante 120mil kms en casi 4 años con un rendimiento exquisito con muchas incursiones off-road, lluvia, nieve, hielo, sol y calor, viajes, etc...
Crasy stuff you did!
But i think it would be more fun with a lighter bike.
Anyways, gread Video!
Cheers Luz
Hehehe... lots of people told me about getting a lighter bike, and I own a lighter bike. But for this kind of trip, i think that GSA is just unbeatable ;) Cheers!
Maquina, nada mas que añadir
+Mohamed Malak :)
Buenas Joan! La segunda parte va a tardar un rato largo, que todavia lo tengo que empezar. :D La musica es de Sven Snug, canción llamada Pink Donut. ;) Gaaaas!
Increible hermano es un viaje que yo también haré.
Gracias! ;)
Thanks mate! I will take a look soon! Cheers! ;)
Прикольно , я почти каждый день по таким дорогам на работу ежу на Хонда
