Thanks for watching.

In the far NW of South Africa in a shared reserve with Botswana we have one of the most amazing wildlife areas in Africa, all 38 000 square kilometers of it and we spend 5 nights there, and we see all there is to see too. NB: this was not a motorcycle ride this year.

I thoroughly enjoyed this unexpected treat!!
Thank you.
Good to see you back on the WWW. My mother stay in Beaufort so every time I visit we spend some time in the park also. Looks a bit more green than earlier this year. Love the Karoo, where you can see tomorrow coming in the distance. Looking forward to your next videos.
Agreed, there is a beauty and calm there that dulls all the city noise in my head. Thanks!
Are you off motorcycles for good?
Not at all, just a side step for some content. Also, my wife likes 4 wheels more than 2 as of late. Still going to do interesting bike trips.
Long time no see. Thank you for posting.
Thank you Mr. Mac. Yep, far too long.
Being that high up, I would also check the structure of the floor underside supports....and I would lose my mind. Wicker basket basically. Good to see you Ian, cheers!
Great to see you again Ian, and another nice video. When are you planning to get back on the bike? 🙂
Oh yes, this was just a side trip. Bike still my # 1 ride. Maybe Malawi next year ….
wonderful , thanks for sharing your experience with us, loved watching it!!!
Thank you for taking us along.
And thank you for the nice comment Miss T. Time for your next Africa trip me thinks.
Awesome memories of another successful trip. Nature confirms the splendour of creation. Thanks for sharing Ian
Great to have you back!
That was incredible! What an experience to see these amazing animals in the wild. Thanks for sharing. I was much more comfortable in the truck than on the bike😊
Yay!
I am so excited!
Hoe lank is daai sagte sand gedeelte op die D707 pad?
Hi Gerhard. Dis n paar jaare terug dat ons die 707 laas gery het en dit was nie te erg nie. Ek verstaan daar is nou twee gedeeltes met die sagte sand. Vanaf Betta se kant suid is dit so 300m lank en weer so 3km verder vir so 100m. Die gehuim is vroeg aankom daar dan is die sand koud en stevig. Hou die spoed op en moenie momentum verloor nie. Oh, en onthou die GoPro video. Mooi ry. Ian
Hi Ian, doing any rides in the homelands this year?
I chuckled when I saw the bike drop incident...immediately concluded you are just not spending enough time on the bike. Fire up those cameras and shake the rust off. Good to see you again, cheers!
trips to remember.
daai is nou n middelmannetjie 3:16
8 degrees, balmy weather.
No thanks. My head stops working below 18...
Love a place where you can see tomorrow coming over the vlaktes
Been a while since I heard middelmannetjie. Binge watching your trips, started at 2019 and going back in years now.
Ha, some are really good to fall asleep too. At least I improved my video skills from the first D707 4 minute one long shot vid. In fact, i put bike videos to music that I like. What are you doing in Scotland of all places? My ma was afrikaans en my pa engels. Ek het n Deens paspoort en woon in die Bahamas .. lank storie.
Remembered my grandmother tell us about the wonderful holidays at Ais Ais they had. Would be a stop off for tour busses in the 60s and 70s.
LOL. yep. Ai- Ais not what it was but still enjoyable. check out: www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php
Hi, do you maybe have GPS tracks of your route or parts of it pls?
Hi Johan, unfortunately I do not have any GPS tracks of any of the trips we have done, infact, you are the first person to ask about them, so I must look into saving them in the future. If you are interested in more detailed rides then log onto Wilddogs.za.net - the best Adventure MC forum in SA. Cheers Ian
@@ianlevy8765 thanks. Asking because hopefully in the next couple of years I'll be able to do similar trip. Born in SA but stayed a few years in SWA as a child and would love to take the back roads like you did and visit a few places we learned about in school and read about in stories and got mentioned in Spies en Plessis. Will deffo register with that forum. If you ever planning a trip to Scotland let me know I'll show you some interesting roads. Just a bit cooler than this trip.
Your music selection is always nice!
Good to see you again!
Hi Ian good to see you back on u tube what a crazy year
Great ride guys, my brother lives in Upington but I'm here in Mindanao Philippines as you can see...I hope to be back SA with Angel in a few months... definitely wants a bike!!
Nice video BUT as an ex.South African, I understand going from Colesberg to Uppington - but a map would put it into perspective to those that do not understand the distances, heat and desolation involved. BTW: Here (only in Afrikaans) is a video of Putsonderwater: ua-cam.com/video/m8UNaWqryAc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=atgerber1 Greetings from Patagonia.
Very good point that and something I should have thought of doing many years ago. I did do so in the US trip but it was not well done either. Wat maak jy daar in die koue suide? Cheers ian
Too true bru, baie waar...
Not bad man! But.. make please the sound of your videos into one level. It's just extremely hard to listen. Your voice is too quiet, then your music like bullets trying kill my ears.. Especially in headphones.
You are right, the sound was bad on this video. Sorry about that, i think I know what happened to improve for next time.
Where you gone again
Nice to see you riding despite the crazy time we have. It's good to drop the bike at the beginning (even twice) and have it then behind the rest part of your trip ;) Great video.
Thanks Nomad. The side stand did not fully extend and then collapsed inwards, yeah, good to have it out of the way at the start.
Hi Johan. It has been a crazy two years indeed, last year was reduced to a one-man ride after my riding buddy got CV. We are right in the middle of planning a Namibia ride and I must do better drone work so looking forward to that. Still plenty to see there like Alex Bay border crossing.
Welcome back Ian, pity about the damage from the side stand incident
Thanks Dave. It’s all cosmetic as the entire mirror clips onto the bike with 3 push studs. Known week point. New set from China ordered and delivered already.
Good to see you back👍
Thanks Maal, slightly different this time.
Very very serious business ! You aren’t a policeman are you ? 😃
Dave Alston LOL... na, just old n cranky. 🤪
Ian...your back!!!! ...Excellent !!! MAC from NJ USA
It’s good to see you back
Thanks Martin ... little riding for this year it seems ...
Great video Ian. It has really nice feel to it, very relaxed. Great vista’s!!
Big Bike Adventures -Thanks Steve.
Awesome as usual. By the way, isn't the soundtrack Afghan music?
Thank you - the music is actually a Cape Town street musician that does the most amazing one man music. He sells CD’s too.
Are you using a green wall?
Nice video Thanks Texas US
Beomsu Kim Thank you Beomsu.
Great video Thanks Texas, US
Ian, I really enjoy your video Thanks Beomsu Kim Texas. US
Beomsu Kim Thank you Beomsu.
Hi Ian are you still riding?
Stunning scenery, especially enjoy the soundtrack and the river scenes
I also had continuous tyre pressure problems with my AFRICA Twin front tyre only. It doesn’t like 1-5 pressure. I got rid of it because of that.
Nice one Ian, I'm enjoying your videos in anticipation of taking delivery of mine soon. Hope to do a few Namibia trips again. Groete Dorsland
Thanks Dors. You will love the AT.
D707 - after having ridden the Baja I have a new respect for sand - great riding there Ian, the depth and tracks in the sand look sketchy. But as you say, 60mph, standing and looking out, I presume you leaning back a little as well?
Great video merry Christmas from ireland
Thank you John and to you and yours too.
Yes, The music as usual is great...and the ride, and all you face with... White envy on you :)
Thanks again. To be honest i find the song first then put some motorcycle video to it. Getting more difficult to do now.
Hi Ian! Your videos always make me dream of places you've been. Nature there in Africa is naturally preserved and so beautiful. You have a such good sense for all that beauty and silence around. It so nice to disturb that silence with your Akrapovic and to enjoy it in the lodges...with your pool-crashing friends ;)) Good that you are sharing with us all this. Thanks a lot!!! Keep the spirit up and keep sharing! Cheers! Ivo
Thank you for the nice comment, it is greatly appreciated. I will try to keep up the standards 😎
Hi, wil graag weet waar het jy daai blink hooflig cover van jou Honda Twin gekoop, want ek soek graag so n lig cover vir my Twin.
Hi Gerrie. Chris by Flying Brick in Paarden Eiland verkoop hulle. Goeie produkt en nie te duur nie. Groete Ian
