    This was so much fun!
    It is great to see you interacting with James and enjoying the ride on a light bike! Also the drone shots are stunning! Good job!
    Thank you so much for taking us with you to these wonderful and beautiful places. Stay safe and much love from Rwanda! 🤟🏼

    I hired a guy who was a former BMW Dakar factory racer to teach me open desert riding skills and it was just an incredible experience, exhausting and my skills improved SO much.
    Watching that guy stand up, hands free and outstretched at almost 100mph over open desert was like watching Jesus walk on water to me LOL. Amazing the vast vast skills and comfort level that comes with the skill level and experience the pros have.
    One of the things I learned both with bikes and also with my Jeep Wrangler is that in some conditions, faster makes things so much more stable and easier. I was stuck trying to go slow and cautious on my bike when I first started doing off road riding and realized that once I got to 40-60mph where previously I had been slogging at 25mph, I was finally riding along floating over the terrain vs fighting the bike the whole day. A bit of mind over matter and overcoming fear and replacing it with some trust and confidence in the hardware was a big milestone for me.

    • @christianmillet9901
      @christianmillet9901 2 роки тому

      Agreed. The issue is when things are getting wrong and you stop floating.........

      @kingsqueak2221 2 роки тому

      @@christianmillet9901 Haha yes, mistakes are amplified LOL. I was wearing full armor, flak jacket, full moto guards.
      When I got done after 160 miles of desert running I came off probably six or eight times at pretty good speed. The gear did it's job nicely.
      I got back to my hotel to clean up and I had the nastiest bruising all over where the guards did their thing. No real injuries though. I'm too old and out of shape to do that anymore but it was an amazing experience.

    Great stuff Kinga-good to try something different. His single wouldn't last the distance that your Rotax engine has in your BMW. Twin means you have more pistons firing over any given period, sharing the load. More torque-more hp. But again it comes down to the power to weight ratio as to the impression you get. The other factor is that his compression ratio is probably much higher in order to squeeze as much power out of it as possible without worrying how long it last's. Did you know that the F650GS twin weighs less than all the other GS twins!

    If you add up all the extra weight the GS is carrying to do a round the world trip I think you'd be amazed & obviously if you took it all off it would feel a completly different bike or if you transferred that weight onto his bike then it would also feel totally different. It is what it is-you need certain gear to make the journey and that's just the way it is.
