I see the main comedian didn’t enjoy his own medicine when his bike also broke down ? 😂 another great video !

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

I never enjoyed that one bit 😂........that was about the 6th time that it wouldn't start by that stage and we kept having to jumpstart it with the support vehicle. It didn't help that it was like 35 degrees celsius in that parking lot either 🥵

[@allanrilling6990]

Nice scenery. Quite diverse landscape! Cheers.

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Really a special place the Tankwa, i can see why so many bikers go there over and over again.

[@ipokkel]

Thanks for picking up my bike's spotlight. Was great fun running into you guys in Ceres on the way back home the Sunday.

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Our pleasure, was that you who we bumped into while Keith was repairing the electrical on my 990?

[@ipokkel]

@@AdventureRidingMuppets Yip that was me. Was absolutely dumbstruck at someone having picked it up and coincidentally connecting with them on the way home. I'm moving to the Western Cape early next year and hopefully I'll bump into you guys more often.

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Yes for sure, glad that we could help 👍

[@kennethdaniels2141]

You guy's with ATM's (#problembikes) should follow Marke..he went the AT way and never looked back

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Kenny don't you know that the excitement of riding a KTM 990 overrules any electrical reliability issues 😅

[@kennethdaniels2141]

😄😄🤣

[@kingdavid4577]

Love it! Hey Travis, may I suggest you place a map of your trips in the corner of each video.... Is Africa Burn the equivalent of Burning Man? Cheers mate 👌🏻

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Hi David, that is a great idea…now just to figure out how to get that map on there 🤔😂. Will ask Rory, our mapping expert. Africa Burn is based on the burning man concept yes and has been going for many many years now

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

I have loaded some GPX Files on one of the responses to a subscriber above as well

[@Ultimathule218]

Engines that burn beer :)

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Then what do we drink? 😳 😂

[@bolo863]

Oh hell, you muppets have abused your bikes too much with all the adventures. The bikes need some TLC. Great to see you all having a good time.

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Those rough corrugated roads shook the bikes to pieces with electrical connections taking a time-out 😀

[@grumpyadventuremuppet6897]

That wasn't even half the breakdowns.... Had about 12 in total without the flat tyres😂

[@kennethdaniels2141]

@@grumpyadventuremuppet6897 an all on the ATM's 😎be a man Marke an say it😉

[@kennethdaniels2141]

Didn't see much of Allan on the 1st day..his playground that long open (boring) gravel😉😎

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

He was miles ahead of us as usual, like the road runner.....beep beep!

[@carldennis7734]

Thanks for taking us along on your ride once again. Awesome scenery, roads and very interesting art pieces. I don't suppose it would be an adventure ride if there weren't any breakdowns 🏍🤩

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

It would be very boring without these challenges and excuses to stop, banter and have a cold one 😅

[@thebikernaturelover59]

Nice sharing

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@thebikernaturelover59]

Welcome

[@raios_nao_partam]

Hi guys, congrats for your video. I noticed you have a steering damper. Do you use it often? If so, in which situations? Sand? Regards from Portugal.

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Hi bud, yes the scott steering damper is an awesome piece of kit, keeps the bike tracking nice and straight in sand especially, but also helps if you hit any irregularity off-road or on, which could potentially deflect the bars from your grip. I wouldn’t ride without one now that i have experienced the help it offers.

[@seamus9750]

Hi... Planning on doing Tankwa with a friend on GSA and GS 800...would we need to carry extra fuel? Recently did Die Hel...how would it compare on the technical side?

[@riaanleroux_za]

Looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for another vid :) Do you have the tracks / route recording of which roads and passes you took?

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

Hi Riaan, i have tried to attach the gpx files above of the entire route. Let me know if you are able to open these 👍

[@riaanleroux_za]

@@AdventureRidingMuppets can't open the file sadly :(

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

@@riaanleroux_za it will not open on your phone, you need to import it to your Garmin GPS and it will open there perfectly. 👍

[@riaanleroux_za]

@@AdventureRidingMuppets sorry should have been more clear, it doesn't allow me to download it :) Seems like it didn't attach.

[@AdventureRidingMuppets]

@@riaanleroux_za mail me on [e-mail] and i will mail them to you 👍
