NOOOOOO

No matter how EP.3 turns out, you still have a lifelong memory of a good trip. Win/win in my book. Good luck with the sale.

Epic Epic Epic vid. Having grown up in JHB and having done many a trip to "The Berg" in my youth (including one on a DT 175 enduro ) I can honestly say this vid fed my soul just as you describe in your neration. Your work here on KZbin is just brilliant . Keep it up !! And Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories 🙂

[@marc_396]

Our next trip will be from Germany all the way to the North Cape in Norway. We will be taking two BMW F750GS from 2018 and one BMW R-nineT from 2018 as well. 6500km in 3 weeks.

The photage from to 360 cam looks so colourful and alive while shots from the other camera looks so bland and dead just a suggestion to boost the contrast in the go pros as well

[@neezduts]

Love this concept, great videos

[@Jackomo2011]

Was highly looking forward to this!

[@TheSilentwatch]

I really enjoy your series, very original. Couple of tips for your future trips together. Take the backpack and secure it to the tail case. It will give you both more room while riding, more comfortable and safer if you have an accident. Finally, Always take the road less traveled.

[@tomasslabbert3437]

Or wear the backpack in front of your chest.

[@sooyster4033]

I think having such a rigid plan is an interesting challenge that can lead to new ideas. No worries about overthinking!

[@fripszilon]

"The whole thing in reverse" awesome! I almost missed it, but that was well played. Glad you got a day without the cameras to just enjoy being in the moment with your girlfriend.

[@WestOzMT]

Plan ahead saves yourself headaches later on. Great bike you have there.

[@yojimbo21]

Great series. However, you’d better hope that your potential buyers don’t watch your channel and try to undercut you…

[@andrecabral6183]

Let's hope that he filmed this series after he do everything, buy the bike, make the trip and sell the bike

[@colormesarge]

Probably has already sold it.

[@edcgadgets-de]

I have just been to SA, Eswatini and Lesotho, it was an amazing trip through these beautiful countries. Ofc we have been in the Drakensberge. We had a beer in Afrikas highest pub (2874m). Your tour allowed me to relive my memories and pause the video on any traffic sign to look if I find a name that sounds familiar haha!

[@collinclark6086]

Awesome series man. It was great watching this trip. I recognise all those roads and such and it really makes me feel at home in a way. Keep it up dude.

[@williamwillaims1194]

I knew you were going to mention the missing trampolines when I saw that turnoff xD Shed a childhood tear myself when I found them missing.. Inspiring trip, time I plan one myself

[@joshuaking924]

Really enjoying this series! I've done similar rides myself when living in Randburg and travelling to see my girlfriend, now wife, living in Hilton KZN. I'd always take a different scenic route to avoid the endlessly straight highway. Some fantastic riding to be had in and around the Drakensberg mountains and into Lesotho.

[@NINJANAKIN]

7:59 yh, right 😂. Nice video idea was something different and enjoyable. Keep up the good work man

[@joshuasalisbury789]

I am going to do a trip from Skegness England all way down to Cornwall on my ajs cadwell 125 in 2 weeks and I can’t wait

[@hendrikvanzyl2689]

This is brilliant, well done! I can't wait to see the end,

[@disekjoumoer]

I think you were generally lucky with the potholes. When I was visiting friends in the Freestate a year ago, there were whole sections of road where the tarmac just didn't exist anymore. It's bad enough in a car, but I would be truly terrified of ruining the bike's wheels and/or crashing on a bike.

[@Route66200]

Excellent vid!. Show us a few more trips. I have a 2015 LC and the seat totally sucks. 60 mins and the wriggles start.

[@darrylcoomer1539]

Fantastic series mate, looking forward to the ending

[@Jonlyjo]

Never had that much Wanderlust but seeing the expanses shown here changes that somewhat.

[@karthikmallesh89]

Amazingly Done! Loved both the videos!

[@carlpitamber2331]

Absolutely loved the video man !!! Beautiful roads besides the straight parts (N3) haha hope you had a blast man ! Enjoy it ❤😊

[@thomas-nk7kx]

Last year i bought a Honda CM400C which i went on a road trip with through south-west Germany, im a 1.94cm tall dude so it was an interesting experience... The bike couldn't go faster then 120km/h with the big a$$ windshield i put on it, rode it full beans the whole trip, loved every second of it.

[@juha2031]

There's something exciting about morning mist on a motorcycle when there's a trip ahead.

[@wolfgangrembeck]

I truly wish you take more trips. I have been overthinking soo mich that in the end i didn't ever go on many trips that i wanted to take. Now i have been riding for almost 10 years on the road and i have hardly been anywhere. Please don't make the mistake i made 🖤

[@gova6541]

It would be awesome to see a series of these videos; maybe do like a different province per bike project?

[@SMITESHSURESH]

This was spectacular ❤😍 loved it especially the concept, your choice of bike was perfect for the trip! I wonder if you could do the same thing with a sports bike but instead of a road trip you do X number of track days.

[@ChaosCauses]

Expensive but awesome idea!

[@marcodebeer759]

Thats my bike , same color and partially the same trip me and a friend has done .Starting from Benoni 2-5 Jan this year , wow envy you guys.

Looking to do some touring with my girlfriend sometime soon, I love your spirit, guys. Keep up the excellent work. Also your girl definitely a keeper!! Don't screw that up, sir!!

[@rodintoulouse3054]

Really good travel diary. Maybe you can start calling yourself Itchyscalp 😊

[@musawenkosimaphisa5126]

The drankensburg is my home I leave near it, if you look closely towards the destination on the map 2:37 you can see "Bergville", that is where I come from, thats where I grew up😅😅😅

[@TheWhoopwhoop21]

Bru! this is so cool! been wanting to get a bike for ages but just haven't pulled the trigger.

[@hamzasihami]

Great work brother keep it up

[@arnoldtm31]

You remind me of myself. I always had big adventure bikes , the last one being a 1290 SAS 2021 with the radar and a v strom 1000cgt 2018 before that. But I traded in the 1290 after only 6 months and bought a 2022 s1000 RR , realising that I am too scared to go anywhere over an hour from home. But this year I am determined to do some long trips and to get a new adventure bike (Im keeping the RR for short blasts). I am yet to decide on a bike. maybe another 1290 because I have a lot accessories and luggage from the previous bike, 1300gs, or a used 1250. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.

[@ChaosCauses]

Having both bikes is the ultimate garage!

[@CHAPNOE]

MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE A BIKE TRIP TOO!!

[@llama233]

After my first trip away with my girlfriend (now wife!) on the bike I bought a second intercom for her - it is sooooo much better being able to chat as you ride, otherwise it can be pretty boring sitting on the back on straight stretches of road.

[@FlesHBoX]

This really makes me want to do a motorcycle trip, though I would definitely need something more comfortable than my Z400, and I'm not sure I could pull off the "buy a bike, then sell it after to make the trip free" thing, lol.

[@riderramblings]

Do you have a comms link with the GF or are you enjoying the peace and quiet? 🤣🤣

[@gamotronix_sakib6548]

[@Smi7h1sH3r3]

i feel that was well thought out actually....though you had a really specific goal in mind aside from "just taking a trip". sooooo...that makes sense to me?

[@OriginalSince99]

Nice Video series, i liked it a lot. I think South Africa is amazing. Far more entertaining and idyllic than i expected.

[@EvonS]

Itchy Boots ride through Southern Africa is worth the watch.

[@jamaicatvtv4215]

ALL GOOD Chaos Causes

[@jamesonpace726]

Wow, 1st time anyone's admitted to being uncomfy on a G/S, even a pillion. Must be those bumpy, twisty SA roads there....

[@ChaosCauses]

Lol. Inexperienced asses held us back a bit

[@domenik8339]

I was gonna say, I know this is an old GS but those vibrations looked no better than a super budget CFmoto stability and suspension wise.

[@BnB140810]

Give us back our bloody Emu 😂. I wonder how americans think that is an Ostrich 😊. Great series, have you thought about strapping the camera bag to the top box, or too much weight up high?

[@chatchingbutterflies5280]

[@myown101]

Bro, you should invest in some boots for you and your girlfriend

[@waynegordon7573]

For a first roadtrip vid that was good and your editing skills makes it entertaining. What i did not like is . . . Midway through, i was thinking maybe is should sell my cb1000R and buy a GS. Not good thoughts at all!

[@mursallazuardy]

When you realize those "cliche" isn't only an old man saying, you're blessed by the spirit of the wind 🍃 isn't it? 😅

[@Kemal_Fernanda]

15:45 yes ... one day ...

[@veightdotveightdot940]

Man amazing video

[@Joe-fi4hv]

I think the goal would be easier on a much cheaper bike. Usually a few cheap repairs and a good clean brings the resell price up quite a bit. Sure there’s a risk of mechanical failure but that’s part of the adventure. I want to buy a $2k gold wing and ride to visit my sister in Florida (48hrs of riding goodness)

[@johnlaw5762]

I’m shocked at both your obliviousness of one of our biggest dams and your pronounciation of it 😂 Enjoying the vid regardless…I promise.

[@honestmstk9790]

Next time strap that backpack on top of the topbox, will be way more comfortable for both of you.

[@warrendegonzague]

Great video

[@Fee.1]

What do you figure this bike would go for in the USA? Any idea? Are vehicles in SA usually at a premium there compared to US prices ? Or no idea?

[@domenik8339]

A 2013 BMW GS in my area is $8000-10,000. And that's with the double the mileage of his bike. US bike prices are among the worst in the entire world. We usually pay at least double what everyone else pays for the same bike, post covid it's more like 2.5x.

[@Fee.1]

@@domenik8339 really? Across the board? Accounting for currency changes and all? Is this a recent thing like Covid & beyond give or take, like with the car market here where evening is just insanely overpriced where even USED cars sold by private individuals have a “dealer” mark up.

[@Mirza_Rifai]

the views look amazing. i dont think my 150 could eat up the highway like your gs did lmao

[@musawenkosimaphisa5126]

I also have a 150 and I want a trip😅😅

[@robans]

Coudn't you rather strap the backpack on the top case than have it between you two on your back?

[@alsanova]

6:18 - Not only that, I don't understand their logic (someone please explain), no debit cards accepted but it ok to pay with phone that have debit card stored on it?! 🤔🤷🏻‍♂

[@Jagknorr]

Lol i didn’t realize that driving 4-5hours registered it as a “trip”. Sounds like a regular old weekend ride. 🤷‍♂️ I figured you were going multiple days or cross country or something. 😂

[@Spillly]

Bro. When we riding? Seriously. Hi from Jozi.

[@throttle_in]

My heart and mind is killing to go on a trip on a bike the sad part is riding solo on a 125cc scooter is not a good idea i have a car tho but it just makes the trip more boring

[@twowheelsintransit]

125 adventures are great. When I was 17 I rode to Scotland in December, camped and rode back in 24 hours. I would say that trip was as adventurous as any other I've taken and I'm fortunate to have traveled a great deal. I've actually been travelling full time for 6 months now. Strap some luggage on, get out in nature and cruise some back roads. I bet you'd have a great time

[@throttle_in]

@@twowheelsintransit ideas great but where i live its mountain terrain and my 125 is only good for city area if i need to go out i require a bigger bike my older bike GS got totaled wating on a new one 😀

[@corychartier7961]

I know south Africa is probably different but in US if your staying on good roads in USA you just buy a 10 to 12 year old Harley Road king or heritage the girlfriend would be a lot more comfortable. I am Nota Harley only guy in India I ride a Himalayan but for comfort for me it's Harley

[@midlifeduck7040]

Hey Chaos I just thought I'd extend an invitation to you and your girlfriend. If you two ever decide to come to Arizona in the US for some traveling I'll host you two. I would love to meet and show you around Arizona. The Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, and a geo-engineered town of Acrosanti.

[@johnlaw5762]

You’ll make us all start youtube channels 😜 Sounds amazing

[@smaom]

Would love to buy GS at that price, here in Europe prices are quite bit higher. So, for now my Hornet will still be the one and only to do the mototrips :)

No offence but $300 for a weekend away without fuel in SA? I do long 3-4 day weekends away to scotland in the UK for under 150

[@ChaosCauses]

Haha you can definitely do it cheaper but this is where we wanted to go.

[@georgedermitzakis4315]

Was half full already lol. But filled up there because I knew it would get us to the hotel on a tank

[@heyshreyas9]

Don’t sell it

[@francescobuffa1624]

I’m sorry but that’s not a motorcycle trip if you only drive on a straight road, the beauty of a bike trip is arriving to amazing roads that you couldn’t otherwise reach. I’m only saying it because in my opinion you would have had 100 times more fun

[@johnmacdonald1878]

Road Trip? Or a short weekend outing. Nice romantic spot to take girlfriends. Hope her butt recovered. Keep the GS and go further, It won't be free but you will feel free. I live in Canada. I paid twice as much for my 1200GS. I put 15K on it. Got it nice and dirty. It could do with a good wash. It's still worth roughly what I paid for it. I don't know where I'm going next. I will be going somewhere. I'd almost like offer you the 6000 for yours. Cape town to Kilimanjaro, Victoria Falls Namibia or who knows where? Your young, be free go, you have the ride. Put another 10 or 15k on it. Sell it for 6000. You have a good idea. You don't need a 30000 dollar 1300GS to go have adventure. Find nice used older ADV bike Like the GS and go. Someone will by this bike and go. Fix the starting sensor. It should start no problem in gear with stand up and clutch in.
