I fell in love with an old motor bike - THE WARHORSE II - bringing my Honda Africa Twin home!

- Опубліковано 2 лис 2022
- Following my 6000km mission to the Arctic Circle, I simply can't leave Europe without the Warhorse, so I decide to ride it another 3000km to London and put her on a ship to Australia!
Two ferries, four countries, one decent crash and a some true aussie bush mechanics, this epic motorcycle adventure takes me through the sand tracks of the Netherlands and the slippery meandering trails through the hills of Yorkshire.
My goal was to make it to London to deliver my Honda XRV750 Africa Twin to an Australian based company - www.bikesabroa... who will ship the old Warhorse back to Australia!

Once again, really appreciate all the feedback and comments everyone. Back in Australia now and missing the Warhorse dearly. Hopefully it won't be too long ... I did, however, grab a fresh 22 twin-cylinder to keep me occupied until then. New film from Down Under coming soon ✌️
Forgot to mention, I have some parts for the Africa Twin that may help if you do a resto
Please do the Aussie video log on the warhorse. I have the same one there’s only a few here down under. Very cherished bike.
Shame you couldn't come to Wales on your way to London.
Enjoyed this video very much .
YouTubing looks so crazy. Do a video about how you setup a video camera to record your ride on the sand track and happen to capture your fall coming around the corner. Seriously I wonder how many people consider the craziness of that sequence.
You did not mention if you manage to find lost tripod? I guess not, since you were buying new shoes ;) Also, what was the price to ship the Bike from London to Australia? Thank you!
I can’t believe this… I have been watching your videos for years and now realise you passed my house in the Netherlands by no more than 2 km… funnily enough it’s at the place where you crashed it 😂
Was wondering if I’d find a Dutchman in the comments 😉Same for me, although I’m not that close to the TET.
mischien vind je wel zijn spullen😂
A small world indeed
Ach ik heb maat 48, pas die schoenen toch niet😁Transalp with many mods.
So cool he probably came close to my house and enduro riding area!! Damnit!!
Thank you for reminding me ot the true meaning of life for a motorcyclist and dirt biker. I'm getting 60 soon and will inevitably run out of time for this kind of journeys. Thanks for feeding my mind with meaning what life is all about. WIll hit the roads and the dirt soon. Stay well, Adam.
i think you are still too young for every kind of journey,my friend!what your mind says...your body just doing it!keep on!!!!
Life begins at 60 !!! Live to Ride, Ride to Live !!!
You sound pretty ready for these adventures...
Let us know when you hit the road!
I am 63 and had around 43 years of riding, all sorts of bikes and been lucky to have done many Euro trips, a St Africa ride and an India adventure and all of it awesome ... then the last couple of years I lost my mojo and was for selling everything and packing in ... then I bought an XT660z and did the Italian Alps and some off road / gravel passes and now I feel 18 again, full of plans formnew adventures and just bought a Benelli TRK 502x and come spring I am going back to Italy. So ... do it mate ... these videos are inspiring and everyone needs to have an adventure
just watching this at 62 and recovering from open heart, you only run out of time is then the sand stops falling
The story goes from the beer to the shoes to the painful success of getting warhorse out of the ditch and is better than most modern movies and tv series... Absolutely love it!💚
Adam, I think that you are the number 1 creating moto adventure videos, I have no doubt. please keep on filming more and more. you do very well to the world of two wheels . “To rediscover the simple joy of motorcycling as a passion, not for profession. “ 🙏🏻👏🏻 from Argentina 🇦🇷
TRUTH
Well said and agree.
@@lukefish7562 thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@ogasi1798 thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻
You must see got2go
33 minutes of a big smile on my face because of the recognition of my own previous travels alone, your great filming, commentary, music. Thank you! Peter from Belgium
You are exactly right. I’m 63 and haven’t been riding for over 40 yrs. I just bought a 2010 Honda Deauville and having a blast. I wanted to see if I’d enjoy riding again. An adventure bike is in my future. I’m buying one and my youngest son is buying one and we are setting off on a trip. 👍👍👍
Wow what a film! Middle age has arrived! Loved that: “...not today!” and you let the GS in Germany go on! Wonderful film, love the classics in it, including those castles and that lovely bike!
The new guru of the two wheels. May you ride for many years.
The Warhorse videos make me smile. As a retired racer, rider, motorcycle shop owner I can relate to slowing down in my later years to enjoy my riding now that I have nothing to prove. As a senior rider I would love to see more of that type of content. Us boomers don't all have the funds to by GS Beemers or KTMs. When there are fewer years ahead then are behind us it brings a new appreciation to why we ride to begin with. Thanks
Fortnine got it sorted with effects and science, and thats awesome I like it, but this.. this is the adventure riding essence in both video and words that no channel has.. just resonates..
Yes it’s a passion. Riding allows us to decompress from the current moment’s troubles. As you continue to make laps around the sun the passion grows knowing there are fewer rides left than yesterday. This reminded me of On Any Sunday. Stay on the gas
The riding, cinematography and storytelling were top notch, as always. The Warhorse is an absolute treasure of a bike!
One of my favorite episodes! Something about this whole concept of giving an old bike a chance to show us what it's made of. The commentary, the thrashing the adventure experience . , it's everything motorcycling is to me.
Everyone of your sentences speaks out of my heart. Your videos say it all.
Just bought myself an old Africa twin 750 from 98. Watching your documentary makes me want to make the same journey. I'm pretty new to adventure bike riding so let's hope ill be able to do this one day. Right now I have to be able to handle the basics of off-roading. Great docu I enjoyed every moment of it.
Cheers from Belgium
Being happy with your own company is one of the greatest feelings 🙏
You are a legend,I appreciate the way you love your bike ,now days people treat everything as disposable,good to see that you know how great and special your bike is .
That is so true. When I park up next to the GSs on my way to England I look at my old bike, and I wouldn't want anything else. We've been through so much together.
Didn’t expect anything less than this magnificent production dear friend!
🤘🏻😉
I recently turned 60 and having crossed South America 3 times alone after watching this episode I already feel younger to achieve the goal of reaching Ushuaia because I have not achieved it, thanks for the inspiration, greetings from Colombia.
Same happened to me! Fell in love with my DR 650 RSE from 1992! Bought it 3 years ago just 18000 km and it stays as well!
There are three other bikes in the shed but this oldie gives u special vibs. 🤩
Still blown away by the fantastic field repair. Well done.
Storytelling at it’s best, so good I forgot that you are a one person film crew. Mind blowing, really. Thanks for the inspiration.
What a ride Adam! Thank you again for taking me along. Your abilities are superb..riding, filming, perspective. Well done mate...
fantastic to watch you riding those trails, it just shows you dont need a fancy bike with all the
electronic farkles , good old africa twin ridden with passion,
Personally not even pissed at the free advertisement Honda is getting, wish companies would return to their core commitment - build amazing machines and let men like Adam prove their metier
Wow. Some of the absolute best motorcycle content on YT. I'm smiling ear-to-ear. The get-off into the ditch, not good. But the riding, the thoughts, emotions, the people, the sights.....magnificent! Thanks Adam!!
I love UA-cam and watch little else - channels like this are an inspiration and the stories are real. Having tried and failed to document and film my own adventures I am full of admiration for content makers like “Aussie” and his “Warhorse” - skill in filming, patience to get off bike and set up camera ride by and then go back and get camera, the amazing drone shots and of course all the editing which is harder than it looks. Furthermore, I am enjoying the bike maintenance tips and wish I had known these 10-15 years ago when I was doing my big round the world bike trips. The triple clamp and chain tensioning were great - but the fork adjustment and air filter tips, silicon spray etc were invaluable and will save many riders breaking down in BFNW.
Many thanks 🙏
Best bike vloger period. Thanks mate, you are a inspiration.
OMG, The passion I can feel it! I almost have tears in my eyes, keep it coming Adam...RIDE ON RIDE SAFE (ish) best motorcycle video ever!
I often watch moto adventure vids. Some got me, some won't. YOU got me straight from the North Cape to London. Stunning! More!
Delightful stuff Riemann. You always deliver mate. I was pleased to observe how your riding style "changed" a bit when riding that muddy trail section in the UK. Seeing that little extra bit of caution when the stakes were higher. It can be deceiving for us recreational adventure riders to always watch yourself, Davis, or Birch ride ADV bikes for promotional content with such aggression and precision. Those videos can make one wonder "why doesn't my riding look like that." A good reminder that when it's your bike, your time, and your dime, the priorities shift a bit.
Oh man, I do hope you continue this series. Pure gold!
When Riemann comes along and asks you to ride with him into the distance you say YES LET'S GO!!!!
no way most ppl would say, knowing they can never ride like he does and they do not want to lose face infront their friends 🤣
Glorious. Quickest 30 minutes I have for ages . We’ll captured. Look forward to your adventures in Australia 😊
I have never own a motorcycle, but I really enjoy watching your Warhorse videos. Such epic travel adventure with touching narrative for the old girl. Can't wait to see the old girl restore for the next epic adventure!!
Love the old girl ! She will for ever be a beast !
Get your license, get a bike. It will change your life. Two things made me the man I am: Dogs and bikes. Wish you all the best.
Dear Adam,
Thank you for this shared journey, I’m going to just put it out there and say by minute 32 you had me at an emotional point that only a man and motorcycle on an adventure can feel. So much emotion that caused my eyes to water. I haven’t shed a tear in man years, but this took me right back to my own euro bike trip back in 2009. I spent 3 months (10,000kms) solo travelling with my motorcycle across the Austrian, Swiss and Italian alps into France and across the Pyrenees mountains of Spain all the way to the Western most point of Spain, Fisterra.
It has been far too long since then to have had the same sort of journey, I miss it terribly! Thank you for this video and I am this close to getting myself a new ADV bike to find my next adventure, it is such a shame when life gets in the way of honest true adventure. I must get back there, back to man and machine and adventure! Thank you. - Peter from Melbourne
P.S What an awesome adventure you and the Warhorse had look forward to the following adventures to come!
Love the videos. It’s funny how it’s great to be alone at times, ride alone, and test yourself, but having a buddy or two that shares the passion makes trips like this a blast.
What an amazing story, what an amazing ride, what an amazind landscapes and adventure!!!!
This old lady earn her place next to the other bikes that make you what you are today!!! 👏👏
I am healing after crashing my KTM adventure off road a couple days ago. I know the feeling of heart break having scarred up your baby. And a pretty bad sprained ankle to go with it. This video has made me feel so much better. It's the nature of having an adventure. Scratches, add character, and injuries heal. Adventures don't come cheap. But they're always worth it.
Had my best years riding on a 03 AT, from Sweden to Sarajevo, to Kiev and so many places in between. This brings back so much memories!
Luckily I’m now only one week from a new adventure bike and to make some new memories
A one week trip?
@@ArmadilloGodzilla What do you mean? My travels where many over the years covering many places in Europe
Great storytelling Adam, awesome content. I love the ‘warhorse’ concept and story behind it. I hope you can take us on the journey of the bike with you. It’s the personal relationship with your bike that rings authentic connection that you just cannot get with loaner bikes. It’s the commitment of time, effort and your own funds that elevates the story to one that I want to eagerly wait for the next installment of. 👍👍👍
The freedom you felt in a motorcycle adventure is just incomparable..absolutely awesome!!❤️🇵🇭
"Don't wait around for the opportunity, just create an opportunity" profoundly wise
Such a perfect mix of Motorbiking, Adventure, Philosophy..... a little envy, and great desire to pick up my bike and start riding! Good job, Adam!
This video is so loaded with emotions and brought back so much memories to me. I used to ride an africa twin from 2002 for 12 years and I have had so many similar experiences and pure riding with her. Stay and ride save and always have enough gravel under your tyres. Greetings from Germany.
This Workhorse series it's a much needed reminder to all riders that it's about the journey, the sensation of riding, not about what you ride and how trendy it is.
Recently discovered your channel, and loving it! Gravitated towards your content because of the Africa Twin, I love my RD07. Done plenty of greenlaning with it, and got the chance to do some rallies round the uk earlier this year! loved every minute of it. I need to do quite a lot of work on her, but I cant face not having it there to ride!
I know the gutting feeling of breaking your pride and joy, that's what holds me back on mine somewhat, but I've decided that every battlescar is simply a reminder of the journey me and my bike have been on. Every scratch, dent and crack tells its own story, and makes me think of the fun we've had together!
Yeah man, you & Itchy Boots, should keep producing new adventures out there in motorcycling around the world.
Glued to the screen for this series. My favourite channel on UA-cam. Looking forward to the next one! (Still can’t believe those guys you bumped into wouldn’t ride with you. You wouldn’t have needed to ask me twice! )
Man! Yeah...that's adventure..no war without scars! Fortunately you're young and strong..thanks man...enjoyed the ride..
Sixty eight years old yesterday. Been riding motorcycles since 1975. When I rode my Norton 850 commando from Kingsville. Text this to my home. Except for a short time to raise kids 20 years. I've been riding ever since. I took off this year 3 weeks by myself camping and living off of my GSA. Not as intense as you but I'm way older. It's fun to see you push us
Something wholesome about watching this Adam. I know your offroad skill set is above the vast majority of riders on a bike but there was no superhuman tree jumps, boulder leaping or hill climbing on an enduro track for a promo video for a manufactures new model launch. It was a real life working class price point of motorcycle doing a real life motorcycle offroad route and at that a 30 year old African Twin with soft luggage and a few bungee cords the machine performed perfectly for the task in hand. Well done 👍. A real life adventure inspiration for most who might be afraid to go on an international journey on their own bike for the fear of it breaking down because it is not a brand new €20k plus adventure machine 👍. Any motorcycle that gets properly maintained has well over 100,000km of life in it. Deadly job 👍
You and the Warhorse are both legends 🤙🤙 and cant wait to see some AUS adventures with you two legends!
Awesome mate! Your attitude is exactly what we need. Nothing wrong with an old bike. Not many appreciate it’s not what you have but what you do with what you have and making the most of it. Awesome!!
I'm not only an admirer of yours but I also totally identify with your philosophy around riding. Namely that it's not important to have new toys and expensive big enduros, what matters is to enjoy the adventure and living with yourself and the bike and nature. Experiences that no one will ever take away from you, they can't be bought you have to experience and sometimes suffer!!!
Love it, I’m an advanced beginner in the ‘real’ adventure riding. To me it’s part therapy to rid my sorrows & failures but also to celebrate achievements & clear one’s mind while riding. You’re a beast seeing you do a 180 in that Netherlands ditch. Also respect given an old girl/War Horse ….so many new riders needs a shiny new bike, I respect the dirt/dents/broken bits of a old seemingly out of date bike - ride on!
Absolutely awesome stuff. Love to see you go through everything together with the warhorse. The bond between man and machine, reminds me of "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance".
Even-though binning it was sad to see, have to admit that scar looks pretty damn cool. Very Mad Max, suits an aussie bike.
By the way, in case you were wondering about all the upside down flags and the red handkerchiefs in NL, those are in support of the farmers. There's a bit of a debacle going on where the government wants to forcibly close farms/farmers because of their nitrogen and CO2 output. Farmers are often a proud bunch and are not having it, and people do these two things as a show of support for them.
Fingers crossed for Dutch farmers. And actually to all the good people of this world.
Good work Adam, a terrific story beautifully filmed. Looking forward to the Warhorse resto and subsequent adventures.
I am new to the ADV scene so I want to know everything. I have watched many people on their videos trying to teach stuff. Some very good, others self absorbed and not informative. You are by far the best so far and I appreciate and agree with all your comments below. great delivery and heartfelt with love from the sport. thank you very much. Keep going!!
old bikes wear their cable ties with style. for the rider they are ties to great memories, many will not get that. love the thoughts know many of them myself. thanks and keep them coming.
Good on ya mate 👍 the old xrv 750 got life in her yet and still keeping up with the motors of today 👍 desert weapon mate 👍
This series is awesome, it’s so cool you’re keeping the bike & looking forward to what’s ahead. The storyline, camerawork & detail in all your films is amazing, cheers🤘
Bravo Adam! Thanks for taking the girl home, she's effeminately a keeper. I want to see more of her. Thank you for the passion and the love of the experience. Carry on!
ur words in this story are soul wrenching.............u set the context for a lot of things in my life
Love this guy....love the bike....love the ride...loved the production. Thanks. He's as good a producer/director/actor/adventure rider/mechanic/braveheart as is another adventure rider: "Itchy Boots". She's just finishing riding from Argentina to Alaska on her Honda 300 Adventure bike.
I would not call her a adventure biker- she is a travel vlogger who rides a bike...
Dude, this is EPIC! I can't explain how much I loved this. I stand by every message you made. You managed to perfectly capture the essence of what an adventure is. At least for me. The simplicity. Don't need a expensive ADV bike for it. The attitude. Keeping your cool when going gets tough, but never giving up. Enjoying the moment. Can't wait for your next one. Mine too, while I am at it😅
Mate I loved every single second ‘Reset the compass back to the path you are supposed to be on…’ that’s exactly what I'm going to do. Thank you👊
I’m watching this video in bed on Saturday morning after a shit week at work.
Last week I was riding my 23 year old adventure bike (aka The Wonky Donkey) around the lower flinders ranges in SA.
My plans for this weekend, housework, gardening etc, just had a short trip to the closest dirt roads added to them.
Thanks for the inspiration Adam, and we’ll see you on the trails soon hopefully.
Absolutely brilliant - both videos are superb. Thank you, very inspiring
Love watching your adventures-and listening to your narration. One of my favorite channels! I appreciate that you can handle yourself in tough situations and find solutions, and that you know your machine so well. Beautiful photography & scenery.
Personally think too many gadgets are taking the fun out of riding when simplicity is best.
Sometimes it’s more fun to have less and just enjoy the ride and scenery.
Love this series Adam.
*_WOW! What an incredible ride. You have a remarkable ability to tell a story. I hope someday I get the storytelling down. Thanks for sharing this great video._*
Many years later and still my favorite UA-cam channel! Love it man🤙🏼
Wow, what a truly epic and raw adventure! Really getting back to the core of motorcycling. Even if you weren't in love with the Africa Twin, how could you ever sell it after sharing such a journey together? Your best episodes to date! 👍
Thanks for continuing to inspire us. as a rider myself, i fell and continue my journey to discover the beauty of our mother Earth nature.
The best and most enjoyable motorcycle adventure feature I've ever seen, so many, many thanks. The riding, of course, but also the travel and the philosophy that underpins it. I'm so familiar with that ferry route (Ijmuiden to North Shields) and the trail riding and lanes through the Yorkshire Dales, but not for many a year. You know what? It's been a while and I did, indeed, recently lose one of my dogs, so it's time to re-set my own compass and get out there again, so, deep gratitude and respect my friend. I look forward to watching the onward adventures of the mighty Warhorse.
Unlikely though it may be, I hope we cross paths one day. I share your love of solo travel, but 100% for sure I'll get my bike dirty with you should the opportunity present itself.
Well done.
Perfect! What a bonus getting a second Warhorse vid. Nice one AR.
There is a specific soul connection that you develop with an old Africa Twin...it's way more different than any other bike that I have ridden. It's like my soul companion with a specific function, giving me such a taste of freedom and unity that you managed to catch and present in your videos. Thank you very much and looking forward for the next adventures of the Warhorse.
Kia ora from NZ, I'm sat in hospital waiting for my twin boys to be born watching this and hoping one day i'll be able to share the love of bikes with them! Originally from the UK so was great to see a bit of the old country too! The war horse is ledgendary!!! Hopefully I'll be back out on my DR650 before too long! Great video!!!
Bloody big mission mate lookin forward to ya resto on the big girl she’s worth it Adam what a darlin of a thing aye ride safe cheers
Those boys you met - I wouldn’t have cared what bike I was on, I would have ridden down the trail and gone to the pub for a pint!! Been following this adventure from the start, absolutely bloody brilliant! You’ve captured the very essence of these kinds of adventures which so many miss! Nice one, absolutely inspiring. I’m going out for a ride, bollox to the weather! 👍😉👍🙌
Haha, that's the spirit. Yeah I was disappointed they didn't want to ride...
This is just simply amazing! One of my dream to be able to travel the world with motorcycle. And i love the way you appreciate the old girl.
The best motorcycling video I've ever watched! Kudos Adam!
You are my inspiration sir! Love your films and it motivates me to do more in life. Thanks for such content, Keep inspiring us with your adventures.
Fantastic adventure bike video! One of the best I have ever seen 🙏
I happened across one of your ADV tutorial/tips videos, and I've been on a binge of watching your fell-length movies for a few hours now. Thanks for making these, they're amazing, and inspire me to get out there and explore!
Don't feel too bad about damaging the Warhorse; she was meant to be pushed hard, and the scars just show the battles she's survived. She's old, but keeping her clean would be an insult to her pedigree.
The moment you skid and drop the warhorse, my heart drop.. come on warhorse rise you can do it..
Such amazing video ! No doubt that you have pleasure on the Warhorse. I've got an rd04 too, and each time I ride it, it brings me pleasure instead the bike ages 30 years old. I hope I could do a trip with it like you did. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Cheers and if you ride in the Pyrenean Mountains in France, I really hope to see you and ride with you. Don't worry, I'm not afraid to put dirt on my bike 😄😄😉✌
Hahaha same if you ever come to Miami I have a 1988 nx650 shes my for ever war horse ! I dirty her all the time she goes anywhere!
You are the Jeremy Clarkson of motorcycling. Thanks for the ride!😎👍
Last weekend I bought my warhorse back, I had sold it to fund a new, fresher bike, but the old girl still had my heart. and now she’s home 😎
What an absolutely awesome video. I had an Africa Twin, an RD07 and she took me to places that at the time I'd never have imagined going. I genuinely loved that bike. Get the Warhorse restored buddy, I for one will be watching!
I love this so much, the old AT's are my dream bike to have in a garage (from the states so it's a little harder). Just so much history with it... It is just a wonderful thing you've did.
Truly in awe of you sir. Well done and I am so happy that the Warhorse™ is coming back to WA!
Adam, I’m only 2/3 of a way through this video and I have a newfound appreciation for you and your channel. I’m loving your insights along your journey, unfortunate misstep in a turn, pulling the big gal from the ditch and the famous encounter we all have had with that stick up his ass GS rider……BRILLIANT, just BRILLIANT! Again, thank you for going through the troubles and more importantly, reminding me and maybe a few out there, travel on two wheels isn’t about the destination, or the length of time but more a Control-Alt-Delete of the soul! Frankly, traveling on two wheels is very much needed in life…..along with finding that soul mate made of metal with two wheels and a motor. Thank you sir.🤘🏽😃 Continue to rock.
At 16:18 , how beautiful that was. So breathtakingly standing by the sea witnessing the sun at the horizon.
Another great video, glad you enjoyed the UK shame those lads on the big Yamaha's didn't join you those guys missed out on a fun ride with a legend
Your so right but my mate just got the bike and isn't a great off road rider, but me I've been riding dirt bikes for 50 odd years mx endro and trials and believe me i would of loved to off gone over the Moor with Adam but i wasn't about to just leave my mate behind I'm just not like that,, but i did kick my self all the way home and for days after for not taking the chance to ride with a true legend.
@@adrianskaife8496 your friend has to learn sometime, into the deep end without a float 😂
Loving the videos. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
By far... The best produced bike vids out there. Thank you so much.
Somehow, if can relate to your experience. Got my ‘09 GS last February and to begin with I felt like it was another vehicle. It became my true love and for the first time I want to do everything I can to keep her, treat her accordingly, keep her to infinity and see the world on her back. Don’t care how old she is, don’t care about new bikes anymore. She’s the one ☝️
