VLOG 48 AFRICA TWIN TO NORWAY..... NO WAY! 

Erik Ahrens it’s a Klim Krios Carbon.

Yes... and you ask why... because its a Honda. 90,000 km and no breakage that I didnt cause.. Fork Seals only oil changes and wear items (chain,sproket etc)

Seat Concepts. I will do a review shortly.

Performance of the tyres was positive indeed, on and off the road. Claim procedure is running so I hopefuly expect to have a new set. Thanks Yogi.

Yogi, my last question is how your front tyre behaves between 45-60/h when you drive a non loaded bike. S.Tenere is a quite heavy machine. It can nivelate small tyre imperfection, but I guess from your general experiences all is fine. Thanks for istructions of proper tyre mounting. If I am not in the moddle of nowhere I ask Honda to have it done right way :)

Without the weight and aerodynamic drag of the panniers & dry bag, the bike of course is more nimble. At the 45--60km/h speed that you inquire about, the tires are smooth running, the bike goes where directed without any rebellion of unruly drift or handlebar shake. As far as motorcycle shops go, many years ago (1970's) I purchased a brand new enduro bike. On the way home the front tire was drifting here and there. When I got there, I checked the front wheel only to find the front axel nut & axel very loose and about to come off. Back then, when they shipped that model from the factory, the front wheel was detached from the forks inside the shipping crate. The individual that put this front wheel on didn't do his job and it could have been catastrophic. The point being for me as a matter of policy, since that time, I never let anyone ever work on any of my bikes that I have owned, (I manually change and balance my own tires for example. Its good practice and knowledge, because I know it is done right. Arrogantly so!). It would take some major technical issue that I cannot resolve to allow any shop to do so. The old saying "Trust but Verify", checking the work done closely comes into play here. One's life is sometimes at stake because of others laziness or pure stupidity. You always have to watch your back... Good luck!

Good point. For safety reason will ask them to check the front axle nut also. Ok Yogi, all is clear. Thanks a lot for sharing your huge experiences. Take care.

I didn’t want one either, as soon as I sat on it, I noticed the tank was HUGE and I didn’t like it at all! And I didn’t want the electronic throttle. I can bring spare fuel! William here has been around the world on a regular AT and only used spare fuel once and it wasn’t even necessary!

Rune Holthen take the R out of Norway and it’s no way! Don’t read to much into it. Titles aren’t my thing. Portuguese/American here...

Its just a play on words, trying to be punny...

Another nice vloege! Seriously doubt someone would steal a small bag with inner tubes unless they were some kind of compulsive kleptomaniac. That's the sort of thing I zip tie to the underside of my rack anyway. Happy travels!

Lol! I ride a scooter once..
