Very nice video

[@WindingWheels]

Thank you!

[@dyresnnicksen2177]

Nice video and WAU, what a nice bikecenter….. looking forward to follow your journey.

[@WindingWheels]

We’re very fortunate to have a bike center like Gebben around the corner. We’ll, at least when we’re home! 😉 Nice to hear you’re with us on the journey.

Heyyy Jessica & Maarten....fijn om jullie kijk te zien over het optuigen van de Yamaha... In sept 2019 heb ik twee maal erop proefgereden (en wilde meteen mijn Tracer inruilen) en ook overtuigd van de kwaliteiten. Op dit moment volstaat Tracy voor mijn eigen avonturen. Wel heb ik deze zomer (juli 2020) een Klx250S gekocht om op een gepastere wijze driverskills op te doen in het veld. Ik geniet van jullie avontuur en veel veilige engelkes voor onderweg ...greetzzz Emc²

[@MrStinky07]

Greetings from California, USA. Looks fun. Great videos.

[@WindingWheels]

Thanks!

[@savardr6]

You guys are great!! T7, awesome motorcycle!! thank you!!

[@marck8806]

I have a very similar set-up at my T7. Try the water pump protector from Touratech. After doing research I think it is the most efective! What about other footpegs? I installed the Adventure pegs from Yamaha (Produced by SW Motech). They are extremely adjustable!

[@marks569]

If you use the Touratech waterpump protection best to put a nylon screw at the left side of the protection. If you hit a rock with the protection you don’t want to break off the rear screw and part of the carter...

[@WindingWheels]

Hey there! Thank you for your comment and advice!

Indeed ongoing discussion on what bike to pick. Wondering what your thoughts are on the weight of the bikes. Especially off road. I’m a fair believer in ‘lighter is better’.

[@WindingWheels]

The bikes with luggage impress us still being very enjoyable and capable riding off road. As you say, lighter is always better on technical off road sections. At the other hand some comfort on the road for the long stretches when traveling is worth a lot as well. For us the T7’s are the right compromise. It really depends on what is most valuable from rider to rider.

[@adrip4177]

@@WindingWheels Agree. Took my XTZ660 from Malaga to Accra some years back. Lifting my bike up a few times made me change my mind. Going for a CRF300L this time. Save travels.

[@WindingWheels]

@@adrip4177 They are indeed heavy to pick up, those >200kg bikes.. The CRF300L saves you some swearing when you need to pick it up, that's for sure! Have fun on your new bike!

[@williamwatson4110]

Riding a bike best form of travel.When in an bike shop like children in a candy store .🇿🇦

[@WindingWheels]

Totally agree with that! 🍭

[@marks569]

Nice video. Thanks. Which bash plate did you mount?

[@WindingWheels]

Thank you too. The bash plate is from Touratech.

[@goldielodz]

Hello. Can You please list the bags You are using (including the tankbag) - I know this is Mosko Moto - I am just wondering what model. Nice bike setup :)

[@WindingWheels]

Hey, the bags on the back of the motorcycles are the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 Revolver (V3.0). The tank bag is the Nomad. There is a newer version of the tank bag which is called the Nomax Tank Bag.

[@corecass]

lol i bought the last blue one from them in that time period. the best colour of course. only a few days after your video. as the white red you got to unwrap was still sitting there with out plastic. after a year i still love my t7 ! gear wise. i got a refit trench [as its goretex for winter] and a richa [summer jacket] for offroad adventures.

[@WindingWheels]

The blue might be the best collection but the white red is the fastest! 😉 What a coincidence, you saw our bikes earlier than we did in that case.

[@corecass]

@@WindingWheels could be. did receive it later tough :P at-least i think. had to wait 1.5 month even tough i already sat on her. [about the red. yes it gets dirty faster. but when you think of it why. its not that crazy if your eating the blue dust :P]

[@WindingWheels]

Touché! 😅

[@robbysavutra6089]

What crash bar do you used?

[@adrextreme1]

Nice video. What boots do you use ? Thanks

Thanks! We REV’IT! boots, the Discovery H2O.

Nice! I need some cornering training like this 🙏🏻 Did Jessica find her perfect ADV helmet in the meantime?

[@WindingWheels]

Absolutely! A nice adventure style carbon helmet.

Sorry for that, we will make subtitles for this video shortly.

Hey Jyrki, 13 years already that we were gazing at the Italian saunas in Pompeii! It's always good to sharpen your skills! ;)
