Africa Twin Enduro through the forest

A clockwise lap of Mt.Ida on the fun trails. I fell over, I had a good time. 5/6 difficulty

[@nomad5176]

This is probably the most tech and remote terrain AT was ever in. And the most calm narrated situation.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

I've had a few people comment on narration. Glad you like it 🤙

[@packfan1946]

That was some serious technical riding on that trail. Well done young Jedi Master on single track!.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks so much, I appreciate your comment! 🙏

[@baldandbiking]

That trail looked extremely dangerous to me! I kept wincing every time you barely skinned by a sharp tree log sticking out. So easy to get seriously messed up on a trail like that. Glad you made it ok. You definitely have proven that it's not the bike, it's all about the rider.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks, in that area the trees are only cut as far as they need to be!

[@briarjumper125]

Insane skill on the AT.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks! 🙏

[@cstbb568]

impressive !

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks!

[@JohnBorgJacob]

i have not seen anyone on AT do this kind of trail alone, you got balls of steel !

[@AutoMan84]

Thanks for the daily dose of anxiety. You’re an animal on that AT

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks! You're very welcome 🤙

[@user-ck4tq2di6p]

Very nice riding and handling that beast. I'd love to learn how to handle my AT like that.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks! I started by dropping mine a bunch 🤣. If that isn't your cup of tea then an off road course would be great place to start. 🤙

[@user-ck4tq2di6p]

LOL I practiced dropping mine and jumping out of the way in my yard (soft Grass). I ride lots of off road and gravel but just do not possess the long legs to do some of your stuff. I'm still having lots of fun. I go slow when in doubt.@@thatguyonanafricatwin

[@HighCountryRambler]

I sold my WR 450 for a BMW F700GS, put it on the trails and quickly added a KLX300. Now I know why I rode 2 strokes throughout Colorado single-track for so many decades. That AT must weigh damm close to my 700GS, I commend you dude. Thanks for the great video.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

The KLX is a great choice for trails 👍. The GS is probably pretty comparable yes 🤙

[@syntaxmsi]

That's a GNARLY trail for a 500lb bike! Nice work.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Some parts are, but it's so much fun!

[@warrant5155]

Nice work on that bike dirt bike! Always good for inspiration, thank you!

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thank you!

[@capesterr1]

Awesome video, killer skills. See you next year at the Gathering.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks! Sounds good 🤙

[@MyADV360]

Hopefully you'll do a video about The Adventure Bike Gathering, I've got plans on Vancouver Island that weekend but maybe next year 👍

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

I will do a gathering video. That's too bad, but have fun! 🤙

[@daverose4774]

Definitely have balls of steel

[@theflyingkiwi4803]

Respect! 🤘

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thank you 🤙

[@MrTarheel1999]

Excellent video! Is this manual or DCT?

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Manual

[@dowithheart]

More videos please 🎉

[@ontariosportrax8096]

Tip- publish your videos to 1440p even if the source footage is not. youtube treats videos 1440 and up differently and you wont see that motion blur/buffering problems. your videos will have much higher quality even though you filmed in 1080

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it out 👍

[@mcdonaldslover52]

how tall are you? youre a beast on that thing

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thank you. I am 6'/183cm

[@iSim0641]

We should all pitch in for him to buy a new camera. Either everything is overexposed or too dark and a bit blurry. Anyway I love your content.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

The camera is brand new. I need to play with the settings more. Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

[@victorkelley5097]

I have been thinking about this for a few months now hahaha.

[@pleewis]

How do you deal with the front wheel abs going downhill? I find that the only downside of my crf1000l

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

I normally have good traction on the front end and the ABS doesn't kick in much. I also use a lot rear brake.

[@ajacstern7145]

What tires are you running on the twin? Looks like a pretty aggressive knob for such a big bike.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Dunlop D606 front D908 rear

[@flytwin1772]

That´s heavy for quit a big bike ....your are in cross bike area already, anyway good stuff.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

Thanks! 🙏

[@mikehimes4833]

How many miles were on your bike when the said bearings went bad?

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

About 24000km. Just the sprocket carrier, the other wheel bearing are still good.

[@mikehimes4833]

@@thatguyonanafricatwin thanks I’ll keep an eye on it .. have about 11000 miles on mine at the moment but it hasn’t seen much off-road whether or not that matters .. ride safe 👍🏽

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

I did have some rust on the inboard side of the bearing. There was probably some water that infiltrated. You should have lots of miles still.

[@daverose4774]

Dont know if i could deal with dropping my at and scratching it like yours.

[@thatguyonanafricatwin]

It bothered me at the beginning. I feel like it is a record of my progression now
