Pues, después de ver el video te quedas con ganas de más, tu cara habla por sí misma que gratificante viaje. Pues mira te propongo una cosa, un episodio del blog, o varios, según creas que puedes ir acoplando está información. Consejos y orientación a los que estamos encabezonados con algún gran viaje. Como empezar a preparar, cosas que tú has necesitado o has echo mal y te arrepientes, etc etc no se, una especie de guía. Yo cada día lo tengo más claro, a ver de aquí a cuando esté preparado y tenga todo (un par de añitos) como están las cosas para intentar algo así.... Gracias Isaac por compartir estos momentos tan chulos con nosotros. Solo me arrepiento de no haber descubierto esto antes. Un abrazo fenómeno

Wow. What an experience. You’re bike must have weighted a ton with all that gear especially two spare tires. Did you ever have to change one out there or was it more puncture repairs? What tires did you use? Love the look of the chopped windshield. Have to consider that for my GSA.
@isaacfeliu
@isaacfeliu 6 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it weighted a lot! Hahaha!!! Getting tires for a GSA in middle of Africa is not something easy... That's why I carried a set of spare tires... Just in case. But i did not need them as I was able to reach Cape Town from Barcelona on the aame tire set. ;)

Hola Isaac! Enhorabuena tanto por el viaje como por el video, me ha encantado. Can't wait for the 2nd episode! Tengo una pregunta acerca de las maletas que usas en tu viaje, ya que al ver el otro video en el que golpeas la maleta con la piedra me ha llamado la atención que la pieza de anclaje fuera de plástico. ¿Has usado las mismas maletas para este viaje? (Nomads). Al margen del precio, pienso que las originales de BMW deben ser más fiables al tener los anclajes metálicos... ¿Qué opinas? Take care, mate!
@isaacfeliu
@isaacfeliu 11 жыл бұрын
El problema que tienen las originales de BMW es que en caso de impacto fuerte no tienen nigun punto debil, por lo que al final se acaba rompiendo la maleta o el subchasis, cosa nada recomendable en caso de estar de viaje lejos de casa... Con las Holan Nomada y las Touratech Zega la parte debil es el anclaje, que a partir de cierta fuerza se rompe manteniendo el subchasis y la maleta a salvo. Basta con llevar un par de piezas de recambio y listos. Llevo usando estas maletas desde hace mas de 100.000 kms y todavia estoy encantado con ellas. Solo las cambiaria por unas Touratech Zega Pro, pero las originales de BMW no me las compraria para hacer un viaje on y offroad. Si solo fuera para asfalto quizas si, pero para campo: no. ;) Un saludo!

Isaac I admire what you did and I'm planning on doing the same thing in the future. But let me ask you a question. Is the 1200 too heavy to pick up with all your gear on it? I think the 1200 is great but I'm looking at getting a lighter bike. Lifting 600+ lbs could be trouble. Your advice is need and appreciated. Thanks, William

William xxx Hey! First I would like to say thanks for your nice words. Then about the bike.... you sure don't need a 1200 for this kind of trip, but that was just what I had, so I used it. That said, you'll never be alone in Africa (there is people everywhere), so if you can't lift your bike alone, there will be always anyone willing to help. And my tip is: whatever bike you choose, travel as light as you can, and enjoy the ride! ;) ;) ;)

Yeah, that's a Spot Tracker. It is supposed to be on your body, but I've decided it will be better to have it mounted on the bike, so I can power connect it wired and not have to worry about batteries. I was using the tracking feature, and that way it eats 3 AAA batteries per week, so on a trip that last for 3 months, that is A LOT of Lithium batteries to carry.... ;)

+Isaac Feliu what is the model of your GS,I used to have the 2005 1200gs and the 2006 GSA and both had a somewhat lower air intake that made them unsuitable for water crossings of that type. The 990 KTM on the contrary has it's air intake very high and can handle waters almost up to the saddle. Have they moved the air intake higher on these?
@isaacfeliu
@isaacfeliu 9 жыл бұрын
+C_R_O_M__________ Mine is 2010 model, but the air intake is at same position than 2006. On the new LC though they have raised it a bit ;) Anyway, the air intake is high enough for most water crossings, and if you need to go deeper, you can always extend the intake with a pipe ;) ;)

Hi Richard! For sure I would do this again! And I would love to be able to travel for some months! I'm not single, but married and with a 6 years old daughter, so my time i very limited. :( Go ahead and enjoy the ride, you'll never regret! ;)

hey if you had to choose between the r1200gs advenrure the ducati multistrada and the honda varadero 1000 what bike would you choose ???
@isaacfeliu
@isaacfeliu 11 жыл бұрын
They are totally different bikes, designed for different uses. So depending of what do you want to do with them... For sport-like riding on good paved roads: the ducati, no doubt. For travelling duo, easy riding, no offroad at all, and low budget: the varadero (although it is a really old model now...). For on/offroad riding, long distance trips: the gsa. If you ask me, I choose the GSA, but if you do not plan to go offroading... the Ducati is a good choice!!!

Isaac Feliu that's what i thought.....also the gsa is more fuel efficient than the multistrada....if i could find a downside on the gsa it's the boxer engine but in my opinion it's the best adventure touring bike :p .... greetings form greece!!

Why are you taking a pair of spare wheels with you ? It must be a huge load on the front...

Isaac Feliu I am looking at a new adventure bike for a rid in Afric too!. And I hesitate between the GS 1200 and the KTM 1190 adv.I suppose you removed your tubeless wheels for the "old" once? Thx for your feedback!
@isaacfeliu
@isaacfeliu 9 жыл бұрын
yassine6786 Though decision!!! Both are good bikes, but if it was my choice... I think the old GS 1200 (2010 model) is the best for this kind of riding. Powerfull yet way simpler than newer models, and proven to be super reliable. New moldes always have some small fails that can bother you, specially on the middle of african continent. ;) ;) ;) On my trip across africa I was using the stock tubeless rimes! ;) ;)

Isaac Feliu Thx a lot for your feedback! For the wheels, with the tubeless if I damaged it because of a stone for exemple, I will be stuck. it is way maybe the system with inner tubes is better. i do not know yet :-D

@isaacfeliu 9 жыл бұрын
yassine6786 Hehe... you go tubeless but bring some spare tubes with you. If something bad happens to rims or tires, just put the tube in. ;) On my trip across africa i went tubeless but damanged the front rim in Kenya, so I put a tube in and continue my trip with no problems! ;) ;)

how much does a trip like this cost roughly???
@isaacfeliu

It depends a lot on how do you sleep/eat and how much time you plan to stay around... but I would say, including visas, fuel, meals, etc... something between 10k and 20k eur... ;)

En este viaje llevaba un Richa Spirit C_Change, para mi el mejor traje del mercado en relación calidad precio. Bicapa, con la membrana c_change (superior al gore-tex), y tecnologia nanosphere para repeler la suciedad. Con protecciones homolgadas CE a mitad de precio de un traje de similares caracteristicas. Este en concreto lo he llevado durante 120mil kms en casi 4 años con un rendimiento exquisito con muchas incursiones off-road, lluvia, nieve, hielo, sol y calor, viajes, etc...
