The Ténéré is a great bike for South Africa, right!? The trip through South Africa was already amazing and we still have so many African countries ahead of us. It’s been a great warm up for the rest! Enjoy your rides as well in the new year!
Another motorcycle adventure touring channel? There can never be too many!!! Great to see some more dutch motorcycle youtubers. Itchyboots set a high standard, you guys are also doing great. Greetings from Australia and subbed!
Hi Simon! We’re indeed making a travel documentary from our journey through Africa. From every country we visit, we make an episode. Great to hear you hopped on! Cheers!
Glad to see your news...what an adventure...me and my T7 are already "jealous"... Soon I'll also be taking a long-delayed trip... All the best to you...👍 from 🇵🇹
Great to hear you can make it happen soon after the delay! Where is the trip going? Wishing you and your Ténéré a great time on your adventures. May the roads be dusty! 😁
We’re happy to hear that Steve! Hopefully you’ll like the next one as well. We’re working on it now and we’re exited to share it already! It includes the Sani Pass…
Thanks for the nice insights of Africas cities and country views. I'm curiuos for the next trips of you guys. Happy new year. Ride and stay safe. Tot ziens
Thanks! We both traveled individually before. Even though we liked that a lot as well, we totally agree with you! It’s great to have a partner in crime through all the adventures! 🦸🏻♂️🦹🏼♀️
Your videos are amazing; your rides are incredible! 🛣 How do you handle fatigue on those epic journeys and maintain your fitness? A video on this would be gold!
Hello bud. I'm glad you enjoyed our beautiful country, and thank you for showing the world the diversity of SA. Can I ask what rain gear you're wearing at 14.00? Thank you and safe travels
Hey there! Happy to hear you liked it! Jessica wears a rain jacket and pants from REV’IT! And Maarten a jacket and pants from Held. Both keep us dry very well! 👌
Glad to have found you, you are now my favourite ADV couple to watch, along with my other favourite legend from Holland, @itchiboots Looking forward to following your journeys. Safe travels.
@@WindingWheels although I now live in the UK, I still have family and friends in Zambia and Zimbabwe so if you need help or accommodation there let me know. Safe travels.
Both countries are definitely on our list to visit. Since we have to be flexible with our travel plans these days, we don’t know if we’ll go there (soon). We’ll let you know when we get close. Thanks you very much for your support! 🙏
@@WindingWheels Indeed :D.. 7, 17, 20.. if just the 7 year old could stay with her mom for a month or so in one go, then I could go for some longer trips.. but then again, my GF wouldn't be happy LOL.
That’s funny! Unfortunately we didn’t meet them, but our bikes spend some weeks in the container with the Defender. Thanks for telling who it belongs to so we can follow their journey on Instagram as well! 🤠
@@WindingWheels they travel on 4 wheels as a family of four but you'll still love them regardless of transport. They have TH-cam channel too, but they don't have regular uploads. Looking forward to following your African adventures.
That's awesome guy's, Both of u giving exotic feel about the earth I Egarly wait to watch your vedios continously, but i konw you can't able to publish weekly basics Any way LOVE YOU GUY'S for giving wonderful view and terrains ❤️❤️❤️Love from Tamilnadu, India 🇮🇳
Thanks for your comment, nice to read you like watching our videos! We decided to make one video of each country we visit during our motorcycle journey through Africa. Sometimes we stay a few days in a country and sometimes a few weeks. The interval of our videos is indeed based on that. Means publishing new videos is as structured as our travel plan, not very… 😅 Right now, we’re working on Lesotho!
Oh Norali! Excellent video , places and cultures....I hope can travel around the world. Meanwhile I am planning to travel in one day to Tandil with my couple. I love your videos. Specially how to explain each part that you visit. I would like to be like you! I would like to have the possibility to travel in my Yamaha 160 around the world!
Hi Maria, Jessica here. Happy to hear you like our videos! Great that you’re planning a trip as well, wish you a great time! Hopefully you can hit the road on your yamaha one day and travel around the world! 🌏
@@WindingWheels Hi Jessica! I happy to read sweet words. Thank you so much. I was waiting an answer! Tomorrow we are going to travel to Tandil. I am preparing my backpack. I am excited! Where are you from Jessica? I hope you ha a great 2022. Kind regards, Mary Rainero
@@WindingWheels Hi! The travel was excellent! We enjoy riding our motorbikes between hill and mountains. We also were riding into a car race road! It was wonderful..! Only the person who is riding a motorbike know about the nature and freedom. When we returned we could see and smell sunflower fields and another pretty field with different colours. It was a unique experience! For some hours we felt the magic of the nature. The pleasure of feel the freedom like a bird. ... Kind regards...
Hello, thank you for sharing your trip. Glad to know that a 1.67cm person can drive a T7. Thank you for activating the subtitles Questions: - which company for transport from Rotterdam to Cape Town, under what conditions, at what price. - what are your housing conditions. - and many others
Hi! Hopefully we encouraged you to ride a Ténéré as well! The company we used to ship the bikes is African Overlanders, we can highly recommend them. You can contact Duncan Johnson for all the details about your request. We sold our house in The Netherlands, when we came back from Morocco. Bring on the other questions if you have them, we like to answer them and inspire you to make a trip of a lifetime as well! 😃
You have to watch “ Ride me five” A Spanish boy riding alone across Africa with an old Honda Transalp. War zone, sleeping in jungle and always alone. From Marroco at Cape Town and driving every country. Now he’s going to north . Sudan and Ethiopia gives not visa. Good lucky both
Thanks! We were very happy with the stock tires, they were great on tarmac and good enough off-road for what we do while traveling. We changed the stock tires in Casablanca at the end of our Moroccan trip with 18,000 km on them (with still some miles left on them). We changed them for Mitas E-07 Dakar. Not close as good on tarmac as the Pirelli’s, yet better off-road. They’re great for traveling, they seem to last forever. 21,000 km on them right now and still going strong!
Hé wat leuk, onze tentjes stonden naast elkaar op het veldje! Bedankt voor je bericht en we spreken elkaar wel weer. Wie weet op Gran Bosco. Het wereldje is immers klein blijkt maar weer!
Absolutely! When we shipped them, it was € 700,00 per bike excluding the Carnet de Passages. This info is not very relevant, since prices vary since the container shortage. It’s best to contact African Overlanders for an accurate offer. Hope you’ll be riding your bike in South Africa soon as well! ✌️😎
Thanks for your comment. We like Noraly’s format as well. Nevertheless, we decided to make a short recap from every country we visit to give motorcycle enthusiasts an impression of what a journey through that country can be like.
Since we’re speaking Dutch it’s quite easy to read Afrikaans, speaking is a whole different league however! Driving on the left is a peace of cake at the other hand. The first miles we rode in the busy traffic of Cape Town, which is actually an advantage to get used to riding on the left. You can go with the flow.
Since South Africa is so big and so diverse, it was impossible for us to make “the right route”. We left some places undiscovered to come back for one day. The Transkei is definitely one of them!
It is illegal to cross a solid white line in South Africa. In S.A. a road lane is normally 3.5 metres wide. In Thailand riders have to ride along a concrete strip about 50 cm wide for about 25 metres, as one of the tests of bike control to qualify for their license. Just saying...
In the three months we spent in South Africa we haven’t felt unsafe a single moment. Frankly, we don’t know about the crime numbers compared to other countries. Every country has their criminals. That’s why we believe you always have to be extra focused when traveling and listen to your gut feeling, this way you can eliminate most of the troubles considering theft.
Perpetuating the myth that Johannesburg is the "largest urban forest in the world". What rubbish. How has this been measured? Where is the evidence? I live here and apart from there being trees in gardens and on pavements, there is not a forest to be seen anywhere.
It’s the geographic size of Israel which we compare Kruger National Park with. We don’t want to go into politics here, our goal is to entertain and inspire motorcycle enthousiasts.
I kept watching and waiting to see what went awry. Typical ADV roads and trails. Nothing dangerous. This was my first visit to your channel. Now it is my last. You bait people to watch more and more and don't complete the episode like dangling an apple in front of the horse or donkey to keep it going. I don't watch clickbait or pretty people channels. It's not reality. bye. 🙄
Hi John, we’re sorry to hear you leave us. Hopefully you’ll still read this comment, so we can explain the title to you. Our plan was to ride from our hometown in The Netherlands to Cape Town. We attempted to travel along the west coast of Africa and started in Morocco. Because of border restrictions, we had to change our plans. We decided to ship the motorcycles to South Africa and travel from south to north instead. Our travel plans went awry and our solution was to ride the route in reverse, starting from South Africa.
@@WindingWheels Um, that is not awry. That is life. Life sucks, then you die. Everyone with their hyped or clickbait titles to get more views. Thanks for the return. Take care. Are you from Rotterdam, Limburg or amsterdam area? Rutte has gone Awry. 😁 Or maybe a pumpernickel.
We are from a small town in the north east of The Netherlands, approximately one hour drive from Amsterdam and two hours from Limburg. We read about a pumpernickel before in your previous comment. We looked it up and found bread from Germany. Is it a saying the way you use it?
@@WindingWheels I had a friend in Bergambacht and I have a friend in Limburg and 2 in Belgium. It is just a funny say against when people say something has gone awry and then you say... "or a pumpernickel. :-) It makes a joke of what they said. Something to laugh about, because there really is a rye bread and a pumpernickel bread. 😂 That is all. I am in Okeechobee Florida USA. Lake OKeechobee. Obviously this is my fake name. Alias name. Thanks for the return. 😁
Da ist Itchy Boots auch längs gefahren und hat nicht solch einen Aufriss gemacht. Euer Video nimmt mich überhaupt nicht mit. Richtet sich ehr an die gut betuchten Motorradfahrer. Ständig große Gruppen mit Geld.
Thank you for your comment. We indeed rode some of the roads Noraly rode as well! It’s not our intention to target a specific group of riders like you say. With our videos we share the journey through Africa and we try to make some enjoyable videos of our motorcycle adventures. We’re sorry to hear we weren’t able to take you with us in the video.

Thanks for your comment. We like Noraly’s format as well. Nevertheless, we decided to make a short recap from every country we visit to give motorcycle enthusiasts an impression of what a journey through that country can be like.
How did you ship your bykes to South Africa ?
We shipped with African Overlanders, a company based in Cape Town. Very straightforward.
4:44 small detour? 😂
Can’t ride route 62 without passing by Ronnies Sex shop! 🤙
what happened next ? no more vidoes
What's harder. Driving on the left, or speaking Afrikaans?
Since we’re speaking Dutch it’s quite easy to read Afrikaans, speaking is a whole different league however! Driving on the left is a peace of cake at the other hand. The first miles we rode in the busy traffic of Cape Town, which is actually an advantage to get used to riding on the left. You can go with the flow.

Is it safe there ? I understood that south Africa is not that safe full of theif s

@@WindingWheels I had a friend in Bergambacht and I have a friend in Limburg and 2 in Belgium. It is just a funny say against when people say something has gone awry and then you say... "or a pumpernickel. :-) It makes a joke of what they said. Something to laugh about, because there really is a rye bread and a pumpernickel bread. 😂 That is all. I am in Okeechobee Florida USA. Lake OKeechobee. Obviously this is my fake name. Alias name. Thanks for the return. 😁
Looks like a nice place to live. Nothing awry about that, neither a pumpernickel! 😉
Da ist Itchy Boots auch längs gefahren und hat nicht solch einen Aufriss gemacht. Euer Video nimmt mich überhaupt nicht mit. Richtet sich ehr an die gut betuchten Motorradfahrer. Ständig große Gruppen mit Geld.
Thank you for your comment. We indeed rode some of the roads Noraly rode as well! It’s not our intention to target a specific group of riders like you say. With our videos we share the journey through Africa and we try to make some enjoyable videos of our motorcycle adventures. We’re sorry to hear we weren’t able to take you with us in the video.
