The rough ride through Mauritania: Breakdown in the middle of the desert, a trip to an ancient town that gets burried by the dunes, and new friends who helped us solve our problems.
We started off in the mauritanian city Nouadhibou, where we learned how to adapt to local customs. After a short stay in Mauritanias capital Nouakchott we started our journey inlands - hundreds of kilometers in the burning heat with 40 degrees celsius plus. When doing a little excursion to the oasis Terjit we got stuck in deep sand - and my travel partner burnt the clutch of his Africa Twin motorcycle. With the help of the whole village we were able to get to a local guesthouse - but the Africa Twin would not start anymore. While looking for a solution I did excursions to the city Atar and the ancient town Chinguetti, which once was one of the most important cities of Islam. How we solved the problem with the motorcycle? Watch the whole episode to find out if we were ever able to leave the oasis of Terjit!

Hi. Very nice video . About the old Mercedes: in some African countries, they use mostly old Mercedeses because they are robust and can resist the shocks of bad roads. This is for instance also the case in Mali. The specific model is 190D.

@Wugawamp 4 года назад

Hi Lea. Thanks for the great and entertaining videos in English. I know there is a lot of information to relate already and I don't mean to be too critical. If possible, more specific info about the bikes would be great to know. For example, details about the repairs to the AT, the cost, availability of parts, etc. Also, perhaps your thoughts about why the T700 made it through the deep sand but the AT didn't, etc.. Was it due to rider ability, tire selection, age of bike, weight, or because $*&% just happens and the clutch just decided to go, etc? A short description about the technique you used to get through the sand would have been nice to hear. Was happy to see the kind people there helping you. Best wishes for you in your journeys.

@Got2Go 4 года назад

I will come back to the Africa twin in the next episode (it was not really repaired unfortunately, they just did a quick fix (how? I have no clue, but I guess with changing the tension on the discs somehow... there was a little bit of a language barrier 😅. But for sure no parts available for motorcycles like ours in most of west Africa, even though there are dealers in some countries. But they don’t carry so many big bikes.) so the Africa twin worked to drive again for a bit. Will show you in next episode what happened then (and what happens if you don’t carry the right spare parts 😅). The Tenere made it through because of the 30 kilos less - our sand riding abilities are equally bad 😂 (even though improved a lot after this whole westafrica trip). I thought about maybe making a video in the future with a big motorcycle comparison of the Tenere, Africa twin, bmw gs, triumph Tiger and all the big adv bikes I ever rode, to have a place for all these infos. To be honest: when traveling I don’t think so much about the technical sides of the motorcycle - only if it breaks down. 😂

@restless_soulism 4 года назад

@@Got2Go Did you not have a old video with stuff that you take on trip around the world? I thought there was a spare clutch. Constantly fighting with the Sand, the clutch will loose if you use it too often wrong. How about less air in tyres and more speed? Also, the less weight in Sand, the better it is.

@daymaker5460 4 года назад

@@Got2Go I can tell you don't need to waste time on the 1250 BMW I had the same trouble in sand, but to be fair the clutch is still fine 8000 k later. A KLR can be repaired with peanut butter and tape, see youtube video "Fortnine" trying to kill old KLR.

the 1250 gs is perfect for asphalt roads in the alps - but for real adv riding I can highly recommend the Tenere. I feel so comfotable on it, it's as if the bike was made for me. :)

@Got2Go 3 года назад

you are not allowed to bring or fly a drone in morocco. I would nobody advice to bring (or even worse: fly a drone) because it's strictly illegal! (and yes, I took mine with me by chance because I didnt really know - but as soon as I did I always knew what the consequences are - and losing your drone if someone finds it is the best case scenario. So be aware of the risks of taking a drone to morocoo - and dont fly it.

@just_ray.8211 3 года назад

That's how you find out power isn't everything. You made it with the T7 cause you and your bike are probably lighter and the engine power/torque ratio is just right. The heavier guy on the heavier bike sunk in and the 1100 cc engine just dug into the sand. The 1 reason I'll choose the T7 over the Africa Twin.
