Real pleasure to have met you on route: get yourself a green sunflower lanyard for travel and have a safe and fun time in South Africa and hope we meet again. ربي معكم❣
Isn’t the AVR festival and off roading just great fun ! You missed out on the night life. I had a good look at the Ducati V4S as well, beautiful bike. PS big thanks for your Swiss tour vids. They are the basis for my trip this year. Leave in 2 weeks 😀😀
Hi both that was bloody awesome, I was crying I can't believe Carolyne gets stressed with a buffet lol. That guy was so brave bringing up the face plant 2 foot away fro her lol. Have a great time in SA guys can't wait to see what you got up to cause this was fun. Take care both 🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
Always a pleasure watching your videos and you’ve definitely been blessed or maybe we should say your man has been blessed with your blessings!!! Lol. Stay cool Jekyl
Cool!!!! Honestly, you both aced it!!!! I have had lots of enduros, small and big (from 350 cagiva to suzuki dr 750 big...). Riding off road is a great workout: legs, arms, stomach.... You move your body to get traction, you use your legs and arms as shock absorbers and to steer.... I feel it is like riding a horse in the countryside. And you see amazing places..... I love my harley, I like my wife's triumph and I miss my off roaders. The more types of bikes you ride, the better you get!!! I forgot: swearing not an issue at all!!!! Sometimes it is necessary!!!! Kind of cool too.......
You did a great job that's how I first started to learn how to ride a motorcycle after starting off on mini bikes and then advancing to dirt bike and riding trails and stuff like that❤
A great video ! I hope you both had a great time ! Can't wait for South Africa i'll be watching it all . have the two of you chosen witch bikes to ride ?🏍
Love your vids. Really enjoyed the Switzerland series and now you're on an ADV bike! I ride a Pan America but, knock wood, haven't landed on my face so far in 26,000 km. I don't recall if you've tried the Low Rider ST, which I rented to ride to the HOG rally in Budapest - that's my second favorite motorcycle I've ever been on so far after my Pan America. I also took a full-day training course before I got anywhere near an offroad track. My girlfriend also found that the Himilaya was the only bike she could possibly fit on comfortably at her height.
@@BunnyKingHogs Meh. Harley did a bad job of organizing Budapest, but it was nice hanging out with my friends. You should try the Low Rider ST, some wind protection, but you get enough to feel it (esp if hot) and you still feel like a badass, not a grandparent with the looks and hopped-up engine.
missed you at the ABR saw quite a few you tubers , I'm going to Richy Vidas weekender in a couple of weeks but I guess you will be in S. Africa wish you well ,Ride safe X
It's actually less work, once you get used to it. Remember to look forward, not down. You want to pick where you are going while you have time to do it, not be surprised by every change as your tire hits it. At the beginning of every season, I stand everywhere I go, to get into shape, since I do not climb ladders all day long. You get to huffing and puffing because you are, as a beginner, completely tense. As you learn to relax, you'll find you have more energy. A trick is to keep at least your index finger over the clutch and brake levers. That way, when you transition from standing to sitting, or sitting to standing, or when you go over a bump, you don't whiskey throttle. Also, when possible, use 2nd gear, not 1st. Your throttle input is more forgiving. And adventure bikes tend to let you get away with starting off in 2nd gear, if you feather the clutch, so you don't have to worry about shifting. The bent knees and elbows let's you let the bike do the bumping, while your body does not. Squeezing with the knees gives your body and bike a unified side to side stability. Keep your feet on the pegs as much as you can. If the bike is going down, let it go and just step off it. If you don't have your feet on the pegs, you'll have a hard time stepping off. If you have ridden horses, it's all very much the same. Pegs/Stirrups. Wonderful to see you both up on the pegs and having fun.
Great video guys. Adventure bikes are addictive…. My Harley now sits in the corner of the garage gathering dust☹ now that I am riding a GS. So much fun and so versatile. Looking forward to your adventure moto escapades 🤣🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘
Growing up on a farm,ranch they were a tool used for irrigating, pushing cows,checking fences etc.high school it was motocross and my senior year i got my first road bike,the highway scared me way more than a cow trail😂.ive been fortunate in life having always ridden and watching you guys try this gives me a good laugh in a very good way that reminds me just how lucky i was to be born in idaho.older now and restricted to my rk im happy to see you guys doing this.
Oh joy a new BKH video!! Really enjoyable to see you guys out trying the bike before going whole "hog" into adventure bikes! Also, thanks for the introduction to Roadskin jeans, I bought a pair and some gloves! I've been looking to get some riding jeans and after reading how them test them and the rating they received coupled with the price really seemed like a great deal. I'm so looking forward to seeing the SA adventure videos!
@@BunnyKingHogs Yes I did, thanks for getting us a discount! I'm eagerly awaiting the arrive of the jeans and give them a test ride in balmy Arizona summer heat of 110 degrees (43C)!
Looks like you had a great time trying out the dirt bikes. Did you have change to meet Itchy Boots, she was there also. She's a Royal Enfield fan. Glad no face plants
Seems like You Two enjoyed yourselves!! It definitely requires more energy when riding off road... However the type, size and weight of the bike is a huge factor off-road.. Pick up a couple of dirtbikes and hone your skills with them!! Even then, riding the larger adventure bikes requires more finesse. I'm excited for the new series in SA and how You Two get on with it!! Much Love and Safe Travels.....
Great bum.... just saying. Shame we missed you, weren't expecting you there but neither were you a couple of weeks before. Have an amazing time in South Africa 👍🏻👍🏻🏍🏍
Most "offroad" bikes will not be ridden "offroad" FACT.And that was a nice field not really offroad sure you have to start somewhere another fact is you WILL get hurt and if you can afford the time of work then go for it.
