    I feel so ignorant. I am looking at Africa Twins and this channel has been a huge help. I stumbled onto it a few weeks ago and am blown away that someone so passionate and young has passed away. After watching hours of footage I stumbled onto some comments saying he died and am so sad. This channel is inspiring to thousands of people and am so deeply sad to learn about the loss of such a giant in the motorcycle community.

    A client of mine once said :" You should never have trouble letting your bike drop, or picking it up after that. If You do, then it´s not an adventurebike!"

      @@jeffdean7666 Anything lighter will be better for offroad purpose. From 790 to 701 to tenere 700 to even gs 850(with lower CG and lift points) etc. On the open road and long touring (that this bike was meant for) the others are worse of course.

      Some thing not too heavy for you. Africa Twin it big, heavy bike, but for longe range adventure, its great. TW 200 is light, but not realy a long haul bike, due to it being too slow.

    • @garrycoates2147
      @garrycoates2147 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thinking the same thing. The loaded bike weight and the rider need to be compatible. If you cannot pick it up easily 2 or 3 times probably best to stay on the bitumen.

I was at the top of the switch backs to Song-Kul in your video but did not make it to Song-Kul...too much snow in April. For a small country, I was amazed by the views. I would recommend a visit to the Tash Rabat Caravanserai for anyone visiting the area. Cheers from the USA and thank you for sharing your journey.

My first reaction to the drop at at 3:50 was you so did that on purpose just to add the footage into the vid and talk about the cases :-) . I think you're too good a rider to do that.
