You should make more GS800 vids.Local is lekke op 2 plekke.

Love it bro. Made me homesick. Quick one, better for your bike to ride from a cold start slowly rather than letting it stand and idle warm. Awesome footage well done man.

Hi, how did the Mitas E07+ perform, how would you rate them?
@rowanpage053 ай бұрын
It stood up to a lot of abuse for around 8000km and performed well with zero punctures. Would happily use it again for that kind of trip.

Oh yeah, nice video! Being a huge F800GS fan myself, would love to hear more of that engine sound next time 😁

Wind noise is usually the issue unfortunately, you don’t hear much of the engine

Hi. Did you book any bnb's ahead of time? Love the content. Also want to know how you did your planing on maps for africa? If it is possible.
@rowanpage059 ай бұрын
Hi! Thanks appreciate the feedback! I actually booked all my accommodation well ahead of time. I know this isn’t a popular approach and many people say it’s a terrible idea, but I had some fixed commitments with family and needed to be in specific places at certain times. And even with some mechanical issues it worked out ok. I had a paper tracks for Africa map and a used a spreadsheet where I noted the towns I would pass through and the roads I would travel, as well as the distances and estimated travel times.

I could usually get 300km comfortably on a tank so there weren’t too many places I had to really worry. I’d say on average twice a day.
