RawHyde ADV Days 2020 | Honda Africa Twin Off-Road

[@ajmaralit]

Great to see heavy weight adv bikes tackle these kinds of terrain. Awesome vid!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks man!

[@mastadriver]

I'm impressed by the guy on the GS. He rode it well for the tires that were on it.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks man

[@tgsignaturetours]

Dear Steve. Total fantastic video. Your personality, the route, riding skills the editing. I really appreciate the effort and outcome of this super video. Wish you all the best. I never watched a 41 min long video on you tube. Seldom. Congrats mate.

[@TheJoseG]

One of my friends shared one of your videos to me a few days ago and your channel quickly became one of my favorite. Thank you for all this kick ass content.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thank you for dropping in and saying so

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thanks for putting this together for us Steve! :) Good to hear the good AND the parts that could be improved on any event, it gives those of us thinking about it better expectations than the fluff that normally gets posted about rallies like this (in a good way).

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks Magpie! Really enjoying your content too. Yeah the event was good but I make events like these look awesome by just going out exploring a bit. March Moto Madness in TN is like that.

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

@@steve_kamrad5216 Thank you so much! :P You're def good at making everyone jealous they didn't go haha

[@FredrikTornkvist]

That’s some serious riding! I’m impressed by the Africa Twin bu even more by the rider!! 💪

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Ahhhhh thanks man. The AT does really well when riden hard

[@davidrockwell9776]

As Shadetree surgeon says “any bike is a dirt bike if pointed the right way”

[@manybikes]

Man... that dirt looked epicly perfect!

[@mfzimmer76]

Nice to have 40min of good stuff to watch. Amazing trails out there. The guy on the GS 1200 makes that little giant seem like a dirt bike, couldn't believe what you guys did!

[@hyw079]

Jeremy is one hell of a rider.

[@leemski]

18:13 some nice clouds sliding right on top of the hills right there in front of you... awesome landscape. I would stop more often to admire.

[@ClintsCrypt]

I am jealous! Not only does it look like a fun place, but I don't see any Cholla cactus, like the one I accidentally ran into last night on a hillside in Arizona. My wife and daughter spent two hours pulling out the needles in my back and side. Ouch!!! But we were back out riding again today.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Mojave man. Tons of riding

[@timothyherweynen6210]

Wow, awesome country! Great riding, not easy on big bikes. Brilliant riding by Jeremy! Great Vid 👍🏻

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Excellent video and great place to ride...shows what you can do on a big adventure bike...if you have the talent !!! Cheers, Steve

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks bro

[@kevinsterner9490]

Nice video. Who knew taking big ADV bikes on single track would be sooo much work. EVERYONE :)

[@timlubbers2884]

I loved my Africa twin, owned it two years did all of the discovery routes out west in it one summer and next summer it took me to Alaska...decided to go to a Honda 500X and rally raided it, I like the lighter bike...

[@camerakid76]

tim lubbers Good feedback. The 500x RR is what got me started looking and I’ve moved to wanting an ATAS. So interesting perspective. I hadn’t pulled the trigger on either. I’d be on something now but I’m Coronumeployed. Maybe next year.

[@timlubbers2884]

@J D heavier isn't such a bad thing, I just found myself a couple of times where I was nackered, and couldn't lift the bike till I took down some carbs, water and rested for 20-30 minutes...at almost 60years old and riding solo most of the time, the weight and the height caused problems for me...

[@timlubbers2884]

@J D yup, I would be interested in a "mini Africa Twin" as well ... It would just have to be substantially lighter, as my 500 RR can carry me anywhere I want at this point ...

[@thejohnnerparty]

Dude, you've got some serious rocks in that sack. LOL Those are some heavy bikes. I'm impressed. A big thumbs up. :-)

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks man

[@keyboarddancers7751]

I really love the idea of using those huge litre+ ADVs to do pleasant dirt trail riding with a passenger. For solo riding I still think it's massive overkill and my choice would be a 690/701 primarily because of the independence afforded in terms of even more challenging terrain and if you drop the bike in an awkward place. All looks like great fun though and props to those who can hustle their big GS/KTM/AT up and down those more gnarly inclines!

[@southernseclusion9525]

Thanks Steve...So good to go armchair riding with you and your mates. Looks a good event.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Glad you tagged along!

[@fredfisher1177]

Just found your Channel!! I'll be starting some adventure type riding and your video scary me and pump me up!!.. ps that's the meaning of adventure!! Keep it up!! Thank you

Thank you for the response! Keeps me going

[@fredfisher1177]

@@steve_kamrad5216, im a year into KZbin I know the feeling!! Great job

[@johnnypuetz]

Great video as usual. It makes me wanna go out being in the dirt again. Hopefully, everything gets to normal soon and we can play outside again. Thanks for making this video!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Sooner or later I'll get out again.

[@BuluBiker]

Super awesome raw video.

[@tosa-ranch2234]

Your videos are hilarious bro! Love it. Probably the best moto-journalist in the adventure market.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Ohhhhh dude. You're making me blush. Also there's really no such thing as a moto journalist if they work for media outlet.... they're in marketing.

[@andatealamierdaya]

he's right!!! Make more content plz :D

[@victorkelley5097]

Dude, seeing this video as soon as I got home from work made my day man. THIS FOOTAGE IS AWESOME! I plan on buying my first ADV bike this month. I'm thinking I'm going to set my sights on the 2018 standard AT (manual). Soooo psyched to be able to get eat miles and get some fun off-road.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Dude the standard AT with the auto is really rad too! Glad you enjoyed it

[@taz473]

Hey guys this channel is awesome,I love it! Keep the videos coming,cheers!🙃🤙steve.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Guys? Just me bro

[@taz473]

Cool 🙃🤙steve.

[@markjacobs6294]

Good job Rawhyde. Big bikes and jockeys doing some cool things...but I will stick to my 690 because I can pick it up alone, because I ride alone, because I like it that way, especially these days.

[@norsmanadventures]

Serious riding itch after watching this... great stuff!

[@drwhipit2010]

What an epic weekend! Extreme challenges, cool two-up, and a tunnel! It reminds me of a weekend at Laurel Fork WV. Great dual sport and a trip through the Sinks of Gandy.

[@capivaraverde]

Really cool video! Thanks a lot for sharing the awesome adventure. Stay safe and kudos from Brazil 👍👍👍

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks Bruno. You too

[@rbailey75]

This is an all time classics, epic tracks Steve!

[@Anything_With_An_Engine]

Jawbone can be tricky even on dirtbikes. You guys did awesome there avoiding some of the rough parts out there.

[@todde.richardson]

Oh yes!! AT all the way! Love mine! Great riding! Thanks for sharing.

[@mostlybroadbandbandit]

At 15:36, from one guy who has been there to another - instead of digging, fill your rut with big/medium sized rocks. The sticks would work good too. Gets you back on top of the soil

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Yeah these situations call for techniques. This was an uphill until we got around the tree

[@camerakid76]

By far the best video I’ve seen of the ATAS offroad capabilities. Thanks!

[@mogumede8211]

As you pulled up to it I said to myself "that looks like Randburg." Sure enough ... You were hauling arse on the way there!!! Great video.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Yup

Don’t feel bad. I’ve ridden with Jeremy (maniac) and he rides almost as well as his AltRider products perform!

[@hollywoodd3191]

Always such good riding in these videos

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thank you!

[@oldtimer3824]

Amazing video and riding skills! Impressive ripping off road on those 540+ pound beasts.

[@JONSMITHYOUTUBE]

Playground out there, with 50 miles of woops was killing me, made me feel tired after all those hill climbs, great vid

[@steve_kamrad5216]

The hill climbs were tough with the bar risers and the windshield

[@TheGazpar86]

Well impressed ,great trails you guys rode hard.

[@standonit8816]

Wow.... I'm such a loser. I stayed home for the last adventure bike rally before the apocalypse. Excellent video as always man.

Hopefully soon

[@lukestringer2177]

Hey Steve good, congrats, you are very good too! but where is your Altrider KIT ???? /// you have wonderful places to ride a motorcycle!!!/// (Seeing Jeremy driving his red Africa Twin it's a pleasure) I think that Jeremy will break GS1250 BMW cardan / paralaver and telelever .... forks and oring of rear shock absorber 😀😂

[@Mustafa-hn7vx]

You are pushing the AT around as if it were a bicycle... That is cool.

[@buzz5722]

Liked the GS pounding too! good job!

[@davealston3881]

Is nothing ever simple and easy on your rides ? Jeez Bro !!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Never lol

[@actstuntcam]

Also, the BMW1250GS? seemed to be having a wayyyyyy easier time than the AT in this vid? How do your riding skills compare to his?

[@Avik303]

Awesome video, enjoyed it... Just a question I had, which one you preffer between Honda AT and a Triumph Tiger ?? for these such trails !!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

The trails. Tiger 900. For ease of riding really a standard AT would be the easiest but the new 900 tiger is smashing. Little squimy but so good now. The ATAS was great when it came to comfort and distance and the suspension is better than the tiger 800

[@premiercconstruction]

Great vid

[@Jotx]

Nice bike, amazing skills!!And what tracks!!!

[@peterruff9845]

Brilliant! Just remind me never to lend you my AT 🤘😝 Stay safe and peace out from the UK.

[@larryambrose5078]

Great Vid, and Cudos to u n ur buddy in Bean Canyon area on some gnarly trails n hill climbs! Perfect Dirt was everywhere! I've ridden all of that area many times on the "Dominator" (650R) and never had such perfect dirt as you guys had on this ride day. Bean Canyon has some of the toughest/gnarly Hill Climbs in the So Cal Desert! Ride On!!!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Yeah love the dominators too!

[@CatProtector666]

A much-needed video to quench the thirst for riding! Awesome content and super rad! Just curious, would you take a tiger 800 xcA to do the event and taking up all the trails? Thx!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Yeah 100% tiger 800 would have done everything here

[@fredthebarber]

Wooooo! Stoked to see this, thanks!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Awesome man. Let me know what you think

[@fredthebarber]

Steve_Kamrad Another amazing video, man. I bought a dual sport at the end of the autumn last year. I was so excited for spring to hit to start riding it off road a bunch. Just as the snow started to melt this Covid-19 business hit. Like you, I’m doing the responsible thing by staying home and not riding. It’s killing me, though! Videos like this help a LOT. Getting to ride and explore off road areas vicariously through you really helps me keep my sanity despite being indoors 23.5 hours a day. Some of the spots you hit in this ride were super beautiful, and some were pretty sketchy looking. Thanks so much for making high quality and entertaining content. Whew, I’m tired.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

@@fredthebarber yeah man, I'm dying to rip my 250 excf in the woods

[@cfamoreira]

I always wonder if the front wheel ABS would feel weird on slippery off road, and you got some serious sandy hills there. I always turn all off on my Tiger 800, can you tell me more how it behave there? Does it get it the way? Does it kick very often? By the way, great ride.

[@mj70]

Steve, That is some mighty fine riding , mighty fine ! Hey can you hold on to my beemer while I pound on that Honda. Lol, and btw i have this spot like ,just in case I f#*K up . Very funny $hit . I'm Tired :)

Water from Owens Valley to Los Angeles . If you look around on KZbin there is a vid of a female walking the whole route if the pipes.
