    Hey everyone, thanks for the great response. I'm currently in central Australia trying to get home. Warhorse is fully loaded with fuel and I'm heading west through 'real desert country' as the locals say ... wish me luck.

      Adam, I’ve been trying to find anything discussing your thoughts on the triumph tiger but I haven’t had any luck. I’d love to hear what you think good or bad. You rock man, thx for all the hard work on your content!

      so..I hope you got home just fine. sure busy putting a video together .. just throw in a few words for us in the meantime, how did the bike do getting you home? Maybe I missed it, but what was the issue with the backfire on the Warhorse?

    Ben's a class act. Teaching someone he knows will be his direct competitor everything he knows for the love of the sport/competition. Other guys would have kept nuggets of wisdom to themselves for the competitive advantage.

    Man I have no words brother, this is one of the best bike videos/movies Ive seen. like when you guys rode through the river bank, damn so gorgeous. and looking at the spedometer being steady at 170 kph, omg through that kind of surface. Its like watching two dakar legends blasting through the desert. Adam this is just amazing. I hope the Warhorse is doing ok maybe needs some TLC. Cant wait for the next film brother. Just awsome I have no words. Keep sending it and stay strong brother.

  • @jasonyoung7673

    Adam, nothing short of Epic & Heartfelt. Two racers at heart, showing the true meaning of returning to your roots to enjoy the ride and reflect on a good life of racing & motorcycles..... not to mention to leave us with a cliff hanger on the Warhorse!!!...... Great video series brother!!

    This lets an other Africa Twin Soul fly higher! Thanks for sharing. Inspired me to grab my Africa Twin for a ride now.
    In the past 17 years I made arround 100k with RD04 and RD07 and you never get tired of it. Exceptional bike, trustfully and honest.
    See you at the next ride, at least with TH-cam!

    This was so good. Again epic footage and storytelling. The warhorse is battling the terrain like an old battle hardened samurai, really great stuff! Can’t wait for the next on and see how she does.

    Talking about the Dakar races reminds me of when I was a kid. Not that long ago. But I had a wall that had XT'S and Tenere models and Africa Twins and Transalps and even little T-Dubs hanging all over it. I was enamored by the idea of just "going wherever I wanted." The freedom of being on Pavement or Dirt Roads or Trails. Man. Love these videos.

    A mate, a motorbike and some amazing scenery. That's most that you need in life.
    Great video, nicely paced. Thanks for thanking us on a trip most will never be able to do. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🤟

  • @XLAdvRider
    @XLAdvRider ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Timeless quotes at the intro. classic moto. Riding solo in tough off road conditions. Meeting up with a legend. Showcasing capabilities of bigger bikes in the right hands. What hits me most is the potential adventure that lies ahead of you when you’ve spent so much time dedicated to adventure motorcycling. My only exception is that rear tire. I think it was designed for something less extreme. 👏

  • @damiank2568
    @damiank2568 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great vid boys. Love it on bikes like the old XR's in the sand as the front and back end wiggle side to side in a sand dance. And when you look back at your tracks in the sand and see where the big single had its power stroke and leaves a little divot.

  • @enduromotorradtouren
    @enduromotorradtouren 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey Adam, your channel has sparked a dream I've had for so long. For that, I am so grateful. I just made an offer on a new African Twin, and the salesman just agreed. Thank you so much for sharing the love of riding. If I can't get to sleep tonight because of the excitement, I'm going to binge your videos.

    Another wonderful film, properly put together. The digital world certainly makes this possible but for me the joy is seeing the Warhorse leading the way in all her analogue glory.
    Hope she is just suffering from a little dust in the throat....

    Mate.... this would have to be the best thing I've ever watched on TH-cam .
    Can't wait for the next instalment.
    I can confirm that tank water at Dalhousie is good to go.... got stuck into it last week on a unsupported Simpson ride. Was a bit nervous I might wake up in the middle of the night $hitting like a duck... but all was good.
    Cheers to yaself and Grabbo for the entertainment 🍻

    Adam, the solidness of the Honda is a testament to your bike assembly & set up abilibies. The capabilities of the Honda either says incredible things about Honda's engineering or not much for bike development from all manufacturers for the last 30 years as it seems to match the Husky in all areas ?!

    wow ..absolutely incredible .. Dear Adam , its so good to see you adventuring and re defining adventure for me .. theres no doubt you are a master story teller of adventure ... but in this film , you have outdone yourself , technically .. cant believe how you are a one man content creator and shooting all this by yourself , not just that compiling all that footage from different devices , getting the go pro angle right ! on the helmets , to sync sound to the drone shots with audio playing off the go pro .. really engaging .. and all of that aside .. you created a film that i just couldnt stop watching , you sir ,are inspiring in so many ways .. thank you for all these amazing films .. Also, riding the africa queen makes me appreciate my africa twin so much more .. i see the ancestor still in action and makes me appreciate the pedigree so much more .. thank you Adam.
