Beautiful video, Brother! I’m totally with you. The AT is such an incredible machine. Pleasure to share those mountain memories with you, mate 😘

[@Mrfish2015]

We will do it again I’m sure ..

[@English-Motorcycle-Adventures]

Great video pal 👏🏻👏🏻 was a privilege to share that Trail with you 👍🏻looking forward to seeing your New Ride 👍🏻

[@mattward5335]

Looking forward to see what the new bike is mate 👍

[@brianlongimanus9436]

The Dark Lord always looked and sounded feckin stunning 😊

[@CCooke-nm2be]

Looking forward to your new 2024 Africa Twin 👍

[@moxy909]

Agree with you on the DCT, great idea

[@bikerbuddy3166]

Sometimes loving a bike just isn’t enough 😎👌bikes come and go but the memories stay forever 😎🙏looking forward to seeing the new steed

[@Mrfish2015]

I know what you mean , it’s corny but the journey is the thing I look forward to the most most , but still has to float my boat 😂

[@The_Arby]

What ever it is...Can't wait to see Fish 🙂

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

I loved many things about my Africa Twin, but i wanted tubeless wheels, and it was frustrating because i live in a very urban environment and it's an adventure in itself going off to find dirt roads to ride on. It made the 21inch front and tall riding height rather impractical for my dull daily commuting. Not sure what i want next.

[@soilsmanadv6673]

Thanks for the Montage, I will miss the "Dark Lord"... I am guessing lots on the new big bike. There are so many good candidates.

[@Mrfish2015]

There were many ideas lol

[@stephenclarke9419]

That’s a shame you sold the AT I absolutely love mine and totally agree with you it’s definitely the best bike I’ve owned didn’t want to piss on your fireworks but Honda do offer a 21 inch front wheel for the2024model apparently looking forward to seeing what you have purchased keep up the great work

[@Mrfish2015]

Not pissing at all 😂 the adventure sport has only a 19 it’s the standard that has the 21

[@stephenclarke9419]

I stand corrected sir

[@DaveDayve]

It's another africa twin. Standard. ❤❤❤❤Red ofcourse 😊

[@Kustom365]

Please not a GS1300

[@keithsbitsandpieces]

Crf1100 L base model , I remember the test ride ❤

[@teapotone]

That bike sounded the absolute MUTTS mate!

[@Mrfish2015]

That’s the bit I will miss 😂 it’s an awesome sound

[@erikwoodward3788]

I think it'll be the new Honda NT1100. By the way, you are a bad ass rider. I know you say you aren't, but you are. Can't wait to see the new 🏍

[@Mrfish2015]

I’m an ok rider but thanks .. I’ll take that 😂

[@TheRealBeefStake]

New Transalp is my guess. You are going to miss the sound of that beast mate, what a bike the AT is.

[@Mrfish2015]

I will Miss that roar

[@Parkyste]

Maybe gone for E/S DCT Standard Africa twin? There was a red one in Honda at weekend they look so much better in person than pictures

[@RollWithSoul317]

I believe that the fond memories of the Africa Twin will remain in the recesses of your brain for some time to come, and you might just get another one. Never say never! It may be gone for now, but is it?!? I own the Africa Twins brother from another mother, the Rebel CMX1100 DCT and it stays with me for life! 🤔👍

[@Mrfish2015]

The memories are strong with this one , and my next bike already has some plans 😉

[@lynsmith1096]

Sad to hear the Africa Twin is going but look forward to seeing you new bike. Is your new bike the Triumph 1200 Rally.

[@johna6968]

Funny thing is I like the Africa twin now they put the bloody 19" front wheel in. The 21" is unnecessary but available on the new bike I was lead to believe.

[@Mrfish2015]

Its horses for courses , the 21 is on the standard twin not the adventure , but it will make it a better road bike

[@davidread2198]

Can't wait for the new bike, BMW GS1300? Maybe 🤔😁

[@pilotdaffy]

The engine management warning light was triggered by the low battery charge. It will reset after 3 recycles of the ignition. This is the same with all ECU managed bikes.

[@Mrfish2015]

Ah I see , I didn’t know that , thanks

[@benkelly2190]

I recon, the AT 1100 es.. much nice than the sport!

[@HippoDrones]

Makes sense to swap before summer, especially if you are not using it! 🙂

[@Mrfish2015]

Don’t want to miss those 2 days of summer

[@HippoDrones]

@@Mrfish2015 😀aye... although only one left now as it felt pretty good out there today! 😀

[@mclarnonc2002]

A Datatool tracker did the same thing to the battery on my GW DCT leaving me stranded 3 miles from home on my b’day 🫣. Thankfully, Thunder Road Honda in Gloucester were brilliant and removed it entirely.

[@125ZJK]

I think it's gona be the Voge DS900X 😊

[@Fromatic]

I'm guessing Transalp next if that counts as big enough, based on the front wheel size comment putting you off a new Africa twin. That's an annoying issue with the battery, but maybe made getting rid of it easier mentally if you were enjoying it up to then and that was the plan anyway!

[@deepjoyrides]

A transalp ✊🐟

[@gogglehead7487]

I could see you on a Triumph 900 Rally Pro or an AT1100L with the electric suspension and DCT?

[@LoneAmigo17]

i reckon the new 2024 african twin crf1100l with electronic suspension go get it fish 😊

[@FourIntoOne]

Defo a full dress "wing. And it will have tassels. Leather chaps mandatory.

[@Mrfish2015]

Ah sussed it 😂

[@brucerossonthetube]

I regret selling my 2016 AT black as well. I should have spent a few G$ on suspension and had a better bike than my Desert-X

[@LordBilious]

Possibly the Tenere?

[@SuperGinkgo]

Tiger 1200 or 800DE, MV Agusta Veloce (rank outsider). Loved that Matt black beast. Are you gonna get a Datatag on the new one? 🤔🤨😁

Errrr nope .. but if I need to I know now to permanently hook it up and do the app lol

It's a honda gold wing, yamaha tracer 9, or ..I give up, looking forwrd to finding out. Ride safe cheers.

[@ozzie7523]

I'm pretty sure the new Africa Twin still has a 21inch front wheel option if you want one.

[@Mrfish2015]

In standard

[@ozzie7523]

@@Mrfish2015 oh ok, one would have thought they would do the Adventure Sport model with the option as well.

If you're staying with Honda it'll probably be another twin or...... NT 🤷 if not, GS.

[@wojtekhaj]

One more reason to stick to well tested models from up to 2019.... Not changing my adventure to anything with more electronics

[@Mrfish2015]

Nothing wrong with the bike , it was the Datatool

[@wojtekhaj]

@@Mrfish2015 no idea what that is but made the bike unusable...way too much electro-gizmos

[@Mrfish2015]

It’s an aftermarket tracker , something for insurance not part of the actual bike

[@billyrouffart5591]

Which exhaust do you have there mate?

[@Mrfish2015]

Fuel

[@henryvaneyk3769]

Husqvarna 901 Expedition. I know it is not the new BMW 1300GS because of the 19 inch front wheel putting you off on the new 2024 AT AS. Might be the BMW 900GS. BTW, you do know the 2024 AT base model still have the 21 inch wheel?

[@Mrfish2015]

I do know yes 🙌

[@atubeontwowheels7588]

The datatool products draining the batteries is a well-known issue that datatool knows about but they always deny it 🤷‍♂️

They certainly do

Just take it on the chin and change the battery. You must be quite well off my bikes been grounded for 2 years needs a new engine still don't have the means.

£515 for a battery is a no from me .. but that’s not why I sold it , that’s what triggered the early sale .. I’m not well off just work hard

Versys 1000,though more likely you'll be sticking with Honda. After years of bigger bikes I'm happy with my little CB500F, probably a pain for long-distance touring,though it could do it, but enough for everyday use and more pluses than minuses. I've had big old lumps and they tend to be just bigger and cost more to run for very little real-world gain, I changed my old 600 Hornet for the 900 and it just handled worse,was heavy and massively less nimble. I've got mates who think the same way and have massively "downsized" after realising how much more fun smaller bikes can be,and how much more practical as like me they're "year round" city commuters, on slippery roads a smaller bike is much less daunting.

[@Mrfish2015]

Smaller bikes are great , you’re right
