Pissed myself at the South African embassy bit. I'm a South African now living in the Netherlands, I had to leave SA because of all the incompetency. Will follow your journey episode by episode,,,love your dry humour man. I travelled from Cape Town up to Malawi on my GS 1200 many years ago....what an adventure. Stay safe bro, and stay funny...I love it
Your suspension cost as much as all three of my bikes put together. You reminded me that I need highway pegs. On my last long ride my knees gave out after four long days. I love that extra luggage rack that takes the place of the rear seat.
Yeah it's a bit much. I grew up riding bikes built from the ashes of others for the price of a meal or two, but sometimes it's nice to just get the best thing available to use.
New sub and like, i was on my way to OZ for a solo 1 year trip, however i blew my knee. So now heading to Baja Mexico for 3 months or more during winter here in the states..by the way check out big agnus mattresses, pack down 1/4 of that one and super comfy... cheers, enjoy...Coco
Sucks about the knee. Hopefully you don't have to go "cruiser" for your trip. I did some upgrades for the Africa part and ended up with an inflatable. Literally the size of a coke can.
Best of luck.....greetings from Chile Subscribed! Just a tip, get rid of the Sena camera and buy a Gopro or Dji......the quality of the video looks like if it was filmed 10 years ago
@@RidiculousthingsMotorcycles I have my Panasonic mounted on the peak using the Scotch Extremely Strong velcro and doublesided tape to create a secure cradle for it. As you're already on the road I doubt you'll get a chance to do anything until Perth, but if you grab the necessaries before leaving OZ that'll give you something to think about on the flight.
Generation Z in a nutshell. Complaining even before the trip has started. Back in the seventies my girlfriend and I bought a map, packed our tent and went through 6 countries on our first holiday on my GT550. On our way back we only had money for gas because of a puncture and some repairs. We shared a baguette for three days and slept in gardens and at edges of football pitches. Most people are nice. Just ride.
I'll give you the boomer pass. Someone of your age should know better than to spend so much effort trying to put others down in several comments. The world has changed since the 70s. Try doing it again now and you'll get a shock.

Thanks for watching! yeah it definitely surprised me. Usually google reviews are garbage, but this time? they were spot on
I for one will follow your adventure just so I can have a laugh
😅 thanks for watching
The South African embassy is such an embarrassment. A real representation of exactly what is happening in South Africa.
True that. It's such an amazing place, with amazing people, ruined by the power of so few.
Good luck with your adventure; have fun and stay safe 🤪🤪
waiting for your next videos ! Top!
Man love this! Good trip!
Much Enjoyment 👍😎😂

Hearing the price of those Touratech shocks 😮made me feel a whole lot better about buying the pair of Tractive shocks for my RT.
Nice video, I'm pleased I happened across this, seems like it's going to be... "entertaining"!!!!
Good stuff mate, Cheers Steve
Good luck, sounds like a great trip! Subscribed.

This is the only camera that functions as I need it to. Maybe it's because I only upload in 1080p
Have a good trip, will follow throughout
Thanks. If you can't wait, you can find as far as Kenya on my other channel 🤙
@@RidiculousthingsMotorcycles I'm curious, if there's more on your other channel, whats your plan to roll out those videos here?
My other channel is about 4x4 stuff. The YT algorithm hates unrelated content, so I'm keeping bike stuff here uploaded weekly, and 4x4 stuff there.
I sit on my pannier box. Cook on other one😊 dented one from weight
Hope the planning is going well.
Can that camera mount on your peak so we don't have to look at the side of your head for 18 months haha
😂 unfortunately that's the only place it can go. I've got a few other cameras though
Just sub’d. That’s subscribed for us less cooler people

Well done our Zim brothers and sisters. Flying the flag right. Shame about our SA compatriots.
Definitely the friendliest embassy 👍 but I agree, shame about SA
