I’ve been waiting for another Africa twin vid 🙏
Same here.
Was hoping for more riding than down one hill though xD
@@sarpsgaardcoming soon.
saame here

Patience. It’s just the beggining of adventure. There’ll be more to see.
Currently restoring a '91 Africa Twin as my first real adventure bike. Being only 26 and having no previous experience, these videos of yours truly are a gem. Thanks so much, love from Italy 🤙🏻
stay aware and i pray for you not having a fatal crash. enjoy your ride brother, awesome bike.
Wemoto have everything you need, look for it
I'd love to restore one.
I bought my '94 back in 2017 and is currently at 110k km. they are so lovely to ride. I am ashamed to say I haven't taken it off-road like in the video because I don't have the confidence, yet. So in true motorcyclist fashion I bought a second bike, a little Honda CRF250L for off-roading and weekend trips to built up my skills.
@@roxjeruben that's a great idea for sure! Luckily I've been riding enduro bikes, especially 250/300cc 2 stroke ones, since I was a kid. Looking forward to seeing if I'm capable to bring the old warhorse off-road, although I clearly cannot boast even 1/100 of Riemann's skills
This man is a Goldmine of knowledge.
I've improves so much thanks to you mate, cheers!
I love the "no bullshit" advice and experience you afford us in every video. Always look forward new posts, thank you!
So practical 👌 simple and covers all the bases. How good is it that we have access to this man's brain, experience and knowledge (across many disciplines of riding also).
No Bullshit - good logo!
So good to see The Warhorse again. I live a three hour drive away from where you bought it, and me and my husband absolutely love your videos. I wish you all the best for your trip😀👍
how strange it is to see a guy who has gotten your attention by just his skills .
seeing your new video notification made me smile
Man I am looking forward to this series! What a fantastic bike and set up, love that you’ve kept the Frankenstein windshield!
Just got a Tenere 700, hoping to be as skilled as you one day, thank you for the inspiration
Its a beast!
World Raid?
Good stuff, I’ve had mine 2 months now. You will love it
ride mx
Hands down best motorcycle content in known universe. No nonsense, pure knowledge from experience. Thanks!
Low-key love how you're trying to shoot a video for the bike, and it starts pissing down. Great atmosphere with the bird calls as well.
Discovered your channel a couple of months ago and your knowledge of biking is unreal. Ive picked up so many tips and learned so much from your videos. Had road bikes since 2015 and just bought a V-Strom 800DE so hoping to start some light off road riding with it.
Love the down to earth, tell it like it is, no bullshit information. So much knowledge in these videos.
Got to meet Adam today by being in the right place at the right time and chat for 10 mins, great guy.
Always great Adam, fantastic to see the thought poured into the gear setup and as before........the love for the Warhorse! 🤘😎👍
brother Im stoked, first thing though ride safe. I have been looking forward to this since you went to get the warhorse inspected. what you is doing right now is a dream, Im eagerly looking forward to the next vid. Keep sending it and stay strong m8!
Hi Adam, great to see you on the Warhorse again. So much detail in that video. I’ll have to watch it a couple more times. I really enjoyed your talk on clothing layers, it’s something I’ve always struggled with in winter. All the best for your adventure. Looking forward to the next episode 👍🇦🇺
Epic is the only word, your approach to weight distribution is very unique and logical
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride Adam.
Just awesome mate, appreciate all the knowledge you share! Thanks heaps, loving these vids :) Go Warhorse!
Been a while since we last saw WarHorse. What a beautifull machine. Currently looking to buy Africa Twin or Super Tenere. There is just something about these 90s bikes that amaze me. Awesome video.
Absolutely awesome, the WarHorse is looking ready for action 🤘🏻
Adam, found your channel couple weeks ago. Very good, no-frills, "lets get out there and discover" attitude, love it!!! Salute you from Córdoba, Argentina. I´m a proud owner of a (dirty and muddy) 92 RD04 with 100K of rough terrain on it (at least what the clock says) , and still going strong though using little due to time. Had three Transalp 600s and now the RD04 I bought 2nd hand in Spain 16 years ago!!!. Best bike ever made? At the least its a benchmark!!! And it aint look that outdated 35 years on!!! And that 90s Dakar look is just unique!!! The Belle Époque of ADVENTURE!!! Those where the days!!!
I love it when a brand new (and very clean) GS guy stops next to me at the lights and looks down on me like, where are you going with that old thing...
And Im like: hey, your mudguards and visor are shiny spotless!!!
Keep them videos rolling, you have a new fan here!!! Enjoy!!!!
Enjoy your travels Adam. Looking forward to watching you on your way. The warhorse and your kit are top notch.
Gonna be an absolute banger of a series
Again, brilliant. I am about to embark on a long run with a mate who is a very experienced motorcyclist, but never undertaken a trip like this so will get him to log on. All good advice.
Love your videos,they are always informative, and the video editing is awesome.
Good to see the war horse is keeping the Frankenstein wind shield.
Epic! Already tuned in for the next video of such an amazing trip on the war horse👌👌👌
Thanks brother! This video put a smile on my face! Keep uploading warhorse videos.😃
Safe travels mate, so jealous! You look ready for it ! Enjoy 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Enjoy creating another part of the Warhorse story. I can't wait to follow your travels
ooft 15,000 - 20,000 kms across Australia! How epic is that. Looking forward to watching this journey
So pumped for you brother! Enjoy, stay safe 💪
this warhorse was neglected for all those years and u r making it fell like a new bride u gave the right place where it belongs absolutely beautiful
As a long time motorcyclist, dirtbike rider and DS/ADV guy you hit all the good stuff. YES!!! get that weight off the back and high up, it destroys they way the bike handles. Great idea on the "hope I never have to use them" tubes. (a front tube will work in either end). Spring rates!!! do it. The two things you missed on my list are footpegs, good ones make all the difference in control. And folding mirrors. Well and grip heaters!!! Good stuff.
Love this Adam. Bike looks awesome. Makes me miss my trusty Dr750 which was such a good reliable old girl. Now got a Tenere world raid which I do love but there is something about the original old PD inspired bikes that the new ones cannot replicate.
You did an amazing build on this bike. It makes me want to get an old Africa Twin and build it out. Great Job man.
Just a beautiful machine, a ROAD WARRIOR! Take care Riemann.🙏🏽
Indeed we have all been waiting for this!
Thanks for sharing this video. Have a nice trip with lots of fun with the warhorse and keep traveling on the upper side of the bike. Hope to see some impressions of that journey. Tada!👍
There is nothing like a good old adv bike. Got XTZ 750 Super Tenere and I love it. Enjoy the journey!
Yes, finally what I have been waiting for!
Looking forward to following along on this adventure! Watching while planning my own trip , slated to begin Jan 1st..
Magnificent set up!
I rebuilt my 2000 XRV750 Africa Twin throughout 2020 back to the frame rebuilt the engine and gearbox even though it didn't need it apart from the output shaft but replaced all bearings and rings and headed of in 2021 around Australia but just did Tassie, Vic, NSW and QLD did the cape twice on the old girl. in the 10 months on the road I did 35,000Km and slept in my tent for over 220 nights, with 55kg of gear including the weight of all bags, panniers. The only two major additions was, Wilbers suspension and excel takasago rims with the rear out to a 3.5. and she went like a dream changed the oil and filter every 4 to 5K still got her and have had her for 9 years. she has done 180,000km and just keeps getting better. As for gear being an old school enduro rider (XR250) always just layered up. Enjoy the trip.
Great common sense choices & nicely laid out. Working on gear for some longer rides myself and was amazed last week when some low-life throws something over the fence into a tree which then fell into the garden, turned out to be a fully functioning 1A/hr 12v power pack, thanks very much (it was on my list for GoPro charging while camped).
I still have a way to go before I'm ready, so I travel vicariously through content, mainly Noraly ,Yourself and a few others. Love the bike, a bit big for my age and condition though. Cheers 👍
Your content is top shelf! Love your warhorse series!
Your off-road motorbike skills are just outstanding but your editing skills are awesome
Mate you are legend and an spiring and motivating UA-camr
Hat’s off my mate; greeting form Barcelona 😊
You seem to be immune to rain ;-) Thanks for showing your gear. It's perfect, your warhorse. I ride a lighter Transalp 600 with a similar set up, everything pimped up. It's well balanced and indestructable, but an old bike. It will get me through the tracks of Romania (TET and ACT) in two weeks time, about 3,000 miles. Much less than your adventure. But then, Europe is smaller. Hope you keep us informed about your progress. All the best and good weather conditions, Günter/Nürnberg
This series is going to be amazing!
Safe travels Adam…can’t wait to watch the adventure unfold…see you at Tingha mate 👍🏻
So looking forward to seeing this adventure on the warhorse! Can’t wait!!
I just got yesterday a Transalp 600 97 model year , It's been in a very good condition with 71k km. I kept your advice to take an old bike and fix it. Manos From Greece
I had a transalp 650 , I highly recommend to get progressive fork springs and slightly thicker fork oil , it transformed mine and never bottomed out 👍🏻 have fun
Thank you man for the recommendation , yes in the future I will do to it some upgrades..😊
Wow, I watch with pleasure! Thanks for such wonderful content🦾
Like so many others.. I'm real excited about this adventure. Thanks Man!! Thanks for breaking your setup down for us. That's a killer idea for the tubes and spoons.
And I'm throwing away my stupid bubble top case 😂 Just got back from a 7 day moto camping adventure in the US on a 10yr old Triumph Tiger 800 xc .. i used it because it was convenient and it came with the bike. .it wasn't my 1st pick, but you know, the proper gear gets expensive. Anyway, I'm definitely going to steal some of these tips from you. I couldve fit all my top case gear on my crashbars.
Cheers mate!
Fantastic to the ol girl out… you got her set up beautifully.. looking forward to your adventures
Safe travels 👌😎
Awesome Adam! I've been waiting in anticipation for this. Look at the old girl, what a beautiful old beast. Excellent video as always, lots of awesome info mate epic set-up too! 👍👏 get amongst it man! YEEWWWW! 👍🇦🇺😉🍷🍾😀
Krásne video 👌 prajem vela šťastia na cestách AFRICA je super stroj 💪👍👌❤
Yay...looking forward to this ride series.... going to go start up the RD04.
Yes! Been looking forward to these videos! :D
Happy for you. Safe travels 💪🏽
It really is a beautiful bike. You’ve done amazing with the restoration mate. Awesome set up
Just stumbled across your channel as I was searching for T7 build ups. Watched a couple of videos and SUBSCRIBE!!! Love the content mate. Really awesome and informative. Easy to watch and get hooked.
Really looking forward to the Africa Twin Oz trip.
Probably my favourite bike of all time.
Dose everything very well an keeps chugging on no matter what’s thrown at it.
Wish I’d never parted with her.❤❤❤❤ just like ya first true love❤❤❤❤
Awesome bloke looking forward to all the vids stay safe and have a bloody good time👊
Looking Forward to it Riemann. Bring IT.
Looking forward to this adventure. Best of luck.
Looks like I'm going to be late for work this morning, fab video once again
Wish you the best experience, a fun adventure and a safe ride!
warhorse finally, oh my i love this series
Safe travels Adam
Ride safe two wheels down .
Will be watching with much interest.
love your content and gained so much from your tips and tricks.
Absolute legend!
Great looking forward to this adventure.
Love these videos. Thank you so much 😊
Brilliant your back on Warhorse ride safe
Everlasting beauty Africa twin
Cool vid, liked the idea with the tubes and toolset becoming a part of the bike.
All love it. Good luck buddy.
Very cool. I have 2x 12L Kriega soft bags meant as side panniers, but just tried and very easy to hook them to the front crash bars without the thing that goes over the seat.
Safe trip. We love the warhorse.
I had an XRV750 RD04 [yours is, by the look of it] for four years. Bought it in Tokyo when I lived there, shipped it back to GB and rode it to Portugal return three times. Nothing offroad, though. Yours was nicely packed. Neat way to store the innertubes. These bikes are 100 per cent reliable, other than the fuel pump, but I'm sure you know that. 1990 [Nick J]
It makes so much sense to carry some important stuff on the body.
Love the story so far the war horse is some machine! 👊✊
Let’s go!
Awesome video.
Great audio with the rain.
Thanks Adam, I feel yer excitement.
Safe travels Adam and thanks for the soggy update.
Love the opener showing ever the guru's sometime need paddle, I most likely would have been paddling long b4 that
I had the 1989 XRV650 for about a year from a guy who left it in a barn for way too long. Did a full nut n bolt restoration as i wanted to travel around europe on it.
She was an animal. Less power than the vstrom i learned on but that power delivery hit like shot. Terrified me a few times i only learned to ride a bike about a year before i got her. The restoration included new shocks and she was way too high for me. But i let the missus use the car to get to work and i rode her in.. hail rain, snow, and the odd sunny day we get here in ireland i was on that bike. No abs, no traction control, and no baffle in the exhaust.. as i like the sound 😂 rode past a colleague on the bus to work, and he said the entire bus shook as i trundled by. Had to sell her as i had to move home and had no garage. Didn't want her out in the rain all year round getting rusty again. The bike was the same age as me and I miss it every morning when i open my eyes and get into my car. Watching this lad use his bike for the intended purpose is like magic to me. Mans a wizard, i cant wait to see what he does with it!
Welcome back Warhorse 💪
Beautiful bike... Will take this one over all the new models
thank you again Adam! 🙏
I had to laugh. Imagine a group of riders came to the top of that hill and you`re standing in the middle of the track talking to a camera with your pants around your ankles. Funny !! "I`m making a film.....No not that kind of film"
Good luck and enjoy the ride. 👊🏻
So true about those “adventure jackets” with their rain liner inside. Worst on a multi day ride as (mesh type) don’t dry right away so you end up riding with a damp jacket the following day.
The innovation I would to see is a compact layered protection gear. Heavier for highway speeds (transiting) and lighter/airier gear for trails and tracks slower riding.
I guess also depends on the country or geographic area we ride
Outstanding mate 😎🙏❤
Awesome - safe travels!
Just so damn enjoyable to watch. I just imagine myself doing the same adventures.
Great to see the 'Warhorse' again, been wating for this day Adam 🤗
I would listen to this man.
Happy trails Adam.
I’ll keep an eye out for you 😎
Saw you in Alice the other day. Thanks for the wave. Was having a crap day and that picked me up. Cheers
Mine's good for 1000kms plus no stopping with Boana tanks. With a powerful 200 watt speaker system I'm a happy bunny doing long stretches...
