How come you didn't mention the engine swap in New Orleans?
Good point - my bad I missed that. Pinned this for others to see.
What do you mean engine swap? Did engine complitely failed or something?
Oil pump problem - like the forks, quicker to swap the whole motor than rebuild
@@motobob That doesn't fill me with confidence, but I like the bike.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o he had a hard time servicing the bike in some places resulting in oil pump issues when he got to the states.
Big respect for Henry. I'm using my Sled more like a supermoto to ride in the mountains just north of Atlanta, GA, USA, where I live.
still do not get why people think his choice of bike is un unusual this bike is more than capable of going around the world and off road the usual adventure bikes are heavy and difficult to pick up if you fall this bike is light and very easy to handle you can get away in traffic and it is fast.
All good points! I guess it’s unusual because it’s not something that’s been done before, but the bike has proved more than capable!
I don’t think the bike can be considered capable with all the things changed and/or repaired during the trip.
@@motobob Lots of people have done it on KLRs. Probably a better option if you don't have dealers replacing engine, forks etc. In no way am I trying to take away from Henry's fantastic achievement, just not so sure about the everyman doing this on his new Desert Sled.
@@hudsonquay If anything, the desert sled Ducati at least 10 times more robust that Japanese crap. You think KLR's crappy fork is more robust than Sled's 46mm USD KYB? 😅 Sled's air-cooled engine would go around the world 5 times without a touch, you get a hole in Japanese bike's radiator and you have to kiss life goodbye in the middle of nowhere.
Heard about this fella when he was setting off and I'll be honest I had my doubts (considering route, age and choice of bike), properly pleased to see he made it.
Way to go Henry!!! Congratulations mate, you've made it!!!
🎉🎉🎉
Well done Henry a very ambitious but successful adventure on a day to day bike. The most mine goes off road is the garden but rides nicely on the roads with great stance. Swapped my tyres for more road oriented Pirelli’s 👍🏻
I like the emphasis on anyone can do this. It is very cool indeed and impressive. It certainly makes things easier when you’re given a bike
True, but he also saved up for quite some time and funded the flight himself apart from the bike and gear. So fair play to him!
The desert sled and the Yamaha tracer were the other bikes I was considering before I bought the Versys. I found that the Ducati wasn’t really good for long distances. And then Henry proved me wrong 😆
I know he broke the record for youngest circumnavigation, but is there one for smallest windscreen? Dunno how he did it...
Haha😀 yeah not having a windscreen on long rides can be hard.. But maybe If you never ridden a bike with a windscreen, you don’t know what you’re missing?
And you'll have built up the requisite neck strength!
@@motobob Or just not ride that fast?
That’s true. The neck is nature’s speed limiter 🧐
Congrat young brave lad...am from Sarawak, Malaysia state on the island if Borneo.well done.any future endeavour.
I'm a short-arse so I've fitted the low seat so mine gives me numbum on a long ride in the Scottish highlands. Finding a nice place to go off-road gives me a chance to get out of the saddle.
Does the low seat have less padding then?
@@motobob yes, it's only 20mm shorter but it must make it a bit harder. I can spend all day on my Triumph Thruxton R without it affecting me the same way, even though it's still got the original bars on.
That must be quite something then, as the thruxton isn’t exactly a comfort cruiser!
@@motobob I think it's because of the Thruxton's cafe racer ergonomics which pitches the rider's weight more forwards onto the bars compared to the Desert Sled's more 'sit up and beg' off-road seating position which automatically exerts more of the rider's weight onto the saddle.
Some ppl ride a lot of countries much lesser CC bikes a man from India travelled europe and america in 2005 like that on 220CC hero karizma
Strong work, sir. Strong work.
Freaking awsome!!! Well done!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All I need to break his record is a time machine.
Let me know if you find one...
Well done!
My buddy with his Multistrada had similar problem - at first was his shifter, and we thought perhaps one of the holder was lose. But it gave up during the trip and gearbox failed...we were just a few miles off the highway from Mojave desert so got lucky. Then came the electrical issues...and then the display etc etc. When it works, its great...but the question should be “when would it work..?”. FYI, its 2017 model.
But can anyone make it around the world without applying a single sticker to their bike?
Haha
That's hilarious 😂
That would truly be a world record!
Another one would be, not raising awareness or money for nothing, just doing it for the ride.
@@motobob uhmm I did
Great insight and rundown 👍🏻
Cheers bud!
Nice to see somebody do it on something different as opposed to a lard arsed GS! I remember Ted Simons doing it on a Triumph 500 way back in the 70's - a great book BTW.
Just an advert for Ducati and as you say 'loaned from Ducati' ...so BMW weren't up to providing a free bike then?
Solid video dude, nicely done!
Thanks dude! 🤘
A good choice of bike. Why did two clutches go, though?
Apparently a known issue that Ducati issued a fix for
@@motobob A lot of labouring sand work. Actually very good stats.
he does not have to prove that you can do it with anybike. What about the guys that did it with DR350's without cellphones and GPS's and all that? (Mondo Enduro)
Anyway, great adventure
Top man!
Indeed!
I'm thinking of doing this on a Honda MB-50 🤔😂 Seriously, this is fantastic, especially since Ducati has very little presence in a lot of the places he rode trrough.
Yeah I guess so - really cool of them to support him
@Michael Tee would assume so. That's a question for Henry tho!
Many small bike bikers 125cc to 250cc, travel around the world, you have to look at south and latin america riders in you tube, they do great things with almost nothing.
Why did he go through so many clutches? Is that normal on trips like these or on bikes? I don’t have one but I have a manual car so I’m wondering
Wonder why the clutch was so frail?
anyone know what brand flyscreen is on Henry's Desert Sled?
CMDEE QTEE it’s just the ducati one, says it doesn’t fit but it does.
Engine was changed !
Better to get a simpler bike which can be repaired anywhere !
Amazing job just curious how many miles on the bike now?
40,000+ I guess
55,000 ish!
"one careful owner, VGC" ;)
50000miles
Broke the world record...
Yeah, right, like it's 100m dash or something!
👍
👍
this is funny youngest person around the world at 23 ..... adults are adults lol and I'm sure many have done so without the fanfare
Surprised he didn't consider the Triumph Scrambler seeing as he is English? Each to their own I guess.
I think he would've considered a triumph if they offered.
" Anyone can do it on any bike " ... had half the parts of the bike swept out by his sponsor Ducati.
I mean, common on man, you achieved something amazing but those kind of statements are just anoying.
