- Twenty One Horses is slowly rumbling along after riding dirt bikes across the world. We want to continue our stoke and share some inspiration for any one else who wants to set-up a bike for an adventure... or for that matter, charge some stoke into any adventure style by promoting our ethos of just get it done...
In our first attempt at Twenty One Horses on film will be team member Johnny Bang, who will walk us through his gear and his bike Leaky Pete.
Leaky Pete is a Yamaha TTR 250 with some modest adventure mods; to find out more about Leaky Pete (like how he got his name (dropped oil across 24 countries ((not much of a mystery))) visit our

Please enjoy some amateurs trying to share some gnarly stoke onto the world...
P.S. - Have just ordered a mic with a wind sock
Great vid mate 👍 howed you change to the brown plastics? Painted them or use sticker wrap??
Great idea to blend in 👍👍
Just a can of paint from the local hardware store. Mission Brown was the colour (I assumed it was the best colour for missions)
Great vid, very informative. But what about his stick? What are the specs, and where did he get it?
Gumtree
Hey Boris, great question. Johnny Bang found the stick close by; however I was worried about its inclusion as it may outshine both Leaky Pete and Johnny Bang himself. Despite best efforts in the editing room, it could not be removed.
I just really liked the The Stick. The way it enabled Johnny to gesture towards something from a slightly further away distance than a finger would allow.
Think of it like a hipster laser pointer
Acoustic laser pointer maybe?
Great stuff! I have looked at the blog etc but haven't found where the name "Leaky Pete" came from. What's the story please?
+Brian Sussex yeah the blog is a work in progress. Somewhere between Burma and India the TTR didn’t take to my cereal box gasket, and the bottom end ORing I replaced with no care, and the leaky valve seal, so I was putting 1 litre per 1000 km of oil into her. HeNCE. LEaky PETE.
LOL - that explains it! I have updated your thread on the TTR250 forum here - ttr250.activeboard.com/t60247985/australia-to-ireland-on-a-ttr250/ ;-)
