@The Greatman Maybe you need to hop on an AT and go show Mick how it is done if you are so good. I would love to see you keep up with him in some of the places he takes that big bike. You're pathetic mate.
Wow that Ozzie charm or lack off. Take your trailer trash talking ass bqck to the gutter you belong in. You are nothing but an attention seeking little gutter snipe punching way above his weight class with no style or even an ounce class. I have better things to do than listen to some with a small disfunction looking for attention. Bye.
Finally a video solely on the africa twin haha...Mick has skills man, throwing around that big beast around ain't that easy...cheers to more videos and ride safe guys 90 percent into the video,I can't believe how many times he tried jumping them huge logs,damn he has the guts..this video just proves that it's mostly the rider and not the motorcycle that matters..
"God"...... has a year gone already. I've just revisited this vid again. I saved it for a rainy day and now I'm in the 4th day of total lockdown here in Jacinda Adern country. Thank you Mad Mick you are a bloody legion of the highest order. And big thanks to the crazy crew at MVDBR Enduro.
I work as a motorcycle courier in Stockholm, Sweden. All year on the Africa Twin. In other words, I drive in the snow. The AT is the most balanced motorcycle I have ever ridden.
I drive my Aftica twin around South-East asia for last 2 years. 70 000 km. Love a bike and love enduro on that bike! Ans this guy just BEAST!!!! Thank you for amazing inspiration wave and motivation for training!!!! 👍👍👍
I literally LOL'D a few times. He's fearless. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to make my buddy Jimmy try all the jumps, downhills, and put him in harms way 100% of the time, so we didn't have to. Man, this was great, best wishes
Mick!! the man!! the legend!! Africa twin tamer phew was worried the hole video had music over the magnificent sound of the beast can’t beat that sound
Multiple dirt bike riders: this hill is too steep, I think I'll just lay down and have a nap right here. Mick on a 500 lb adventure bike: hold my beer...
No matter how many times I watch this I never tire of it. The man has no fear. I'm guessing Mick was a semi-pro rider back in the day. Either that or a born natural. Inspirational to watch.

Brilliant editing there Josh. It keeps getting better and better. Mick is no mere mortal. Thanks for putting the time into this one mate it’s a pearler.
I said it once I will say it again this Man is the reason that I bought an Africa Twin and have had nothing but fun ever since. This is my go to video for inspiration. Thanks for posting.
@@MVDBR try the triumph 800XC , it's about a 100 pounds lighter with the same horsepower and better handling..feels like an XR600R if it were on steroids
Oh yeah rumor has it we are supposed to get an Africa twin 800 or maybe it was an 850 but lighter and on the other side of the coin a CRF1100L . But where's the beef? Oh yeah KTM is stillvmiles ahead with the beef
Finally...finally...finally a video to show what an Africa Twin can do (ofcourse with the right rider). I enjoyed it very much, and I subscribed to the channel too! Good job Mick!! greetings from Aruba!
I like it when mick flys up the hill past all the light weight enduro bikes scattered all over the hill that couldnt make it up. Fucking amazing riding man. Im guessing your tyres get replaced as often as you put fuel in the tank.
Thanks for sharing this great video. I have an Africa Twin, and I do off road with it too. This is an amazing bike, most capable for its weigth. The original transmission is 16/42, but reducing the front pignon to 15 like Mick, would increases torque by 7%. Also, such performance can only be reached with à manuel transmission.
He`s like: I paid the money, I`ll make it work for every penny! And so he did! I love the way he rides, I love his attitude, kind of ``hell or high water`` and, yes, he shows that it can be done on a big adv bike.
Cheers mate thanks for making an exception for Mick he loves every one of these comments his wife reckons he struts around the house like a peacock these days 😂 Haha just kidding hopefully he doesn't read this 😁
Crikey, thats the best thing i've seen all year.....doing things to an Africa Twin that even the Honda designers never imagined...... What a beast....."Take My Money Now.." ;) ;)
Incredible skills . Most guys hit a gravel road here and there this guy goes straight through the jungle . Remember Twins are not for single track , except for Mick lol .
Definitely one of the best "trail ride" videos ever! Mick knows how to ride that's for certain. Is he mad? No doubt! I've subscribed just to watch more and hear more of Mick on that big twin....
Thanks Jeff, it's the die-hard supporters like yourself that have been around from the start that kept us going and that won't be forgotten mate! Cheers 🤩
@@crugwrf it sounds fucking awesome and even better in real life. There's always that minority of cunts that have to go against the grain tho I guess that's life...
Haha well the reality is not everyone pulls off a win every attempt no matter who they are but that's half the fun... until something breaks anyway :) Cheers
Not taking anything away from Mick's riding skills or the bikes capabilities, it's amazing what you can do when you don't give a rats arse about what happens to the bike (and seemingly the body) when carrying on & trying difficult things. Nice.
I wouldn't say he doesn't give a rat's arse about the bike he does take care of it but I know what ya mean 👍 Not afraid to send it 💪 Thank you for the comment

Honda should use this as a promotion video. Proves this bike can do anything with a capable rider.
Yeah I agree, as long as they give us all brand new ATs ;-) Thanks for the comment mate!
They should play this Video in Honda Shops, good Advertising.
That would be pretty cool! Cheers 🤙
Got me thinking about buying one
Producer: so what level of off-roading can you handle?
Mick: Yes.
Hahaha, pretty much! Thanks for the comment man 🤙
Finally a video solely on the africa twin haha...Mick has skills man, throwing around that big beast around ain't that easy...cheers to more videos and ride safe guys
90 percent into the video,I can't believe how many times he tried jumping them huge logs,damn he has the guts..this video just proves that it's mostly the rider and not the motorcycle that matters..
Yep so true, glad you liked the video mate cheers 😎
Totally.
Mick is the man! It is nice to see people send it on big bikes.
Hell yea, it's an inspiration for sure. Cheers man 👍😎
You really can't fully appreciate this unless you've felt the weight of that bike. This guy is Awesome!
FOR SALE 2018 africa twin, well maintained, never abused, never been off road.
exactly !!! xD
Haha sadly some of them are exactly that... why won't you let them live! 😂👍
By far the best off roading video of an AT I've seen. If I could ride 1% of his skill I'd be a happy camper!
Yeah mate I agree, cheers 👌
you confirm that the skills of most riders are far behind the abilities of this bike. You are the rare exception :) Big respect!
This man is full send, all the time. I love it.
I love this vid, I watched at least 50 times… Bring back Mad Mick 🤞🏻
Wow! Killer riding. And thanks for not ruining this with crappy music. So nice to hear the bikes!!
Cheers Alex yeah only put music over the footage with already ruined audio, had to have mostly the big twins noise in there, love it!
Mick just became my big bike hero! What a talented guy!
Cheers Bill 👌

Yeah mate Mick sure can ride! love the sound of that bike good on ya Mick.
Cheers
Never seen no one push an African twin like this dude...great stuff....loved it
@corey hayes no i haven't sir
one word to describe both man and machine....BEAST!!! Love the growl of the AT opened up! Great riding, good vid too Josh.
Thanks mate glad ya liked it 😎
Finally someone demonstrating the Africa's off road capabilities.Well done thanks for posting.
And thank you for commenting :) Cheers
I drive my Aftica twin around South-East asia for last 2 years. 70 000 km. Love a bike and love enduro on that bike! Ans this guy just BEAST!!!! Thank you for amazing inspiration wave and motivation for training!!!! 👍👍👍
Cheers mate! Gonna check out your channel 👌
Ёжик это Вы!
@@ЮрийМакагонов-ъ1у ага, видимо это Я!!!🤪🤪🤪
The dude got mad-savage skills. Honda should hire him as a test rider for the African Twin.
Honda should sponsor this guy! He is a beast on that bike.
Sick riding skills . This is how all motorcycle test suppose to look at.
I literally LOL'D a few times. He's fearless. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to make my buddy Jimmy try all the jumps, downhills, and put him in harms way 100% of the time, so we didn't have to. Man, this was great, best wishes
😄 poor Jimmy. Thanks mate!
Love seeing that African twin blasting through the trails !! Awesome
It's cool ay 😎 thanks for the comment!
Mick!! the man!! the legend!!
Africa twin tamer
phew was worried the hole video had music over the magnificent sound of the beast
can’t beat that sound
Nah man I wouldn't have used any music but some of the footage had unusable audio and was too good to leave out. Cheers 👍😎
MM, you are a machine, your riding ability and weight shifting on the AT is impressive... good job, and to the whole MVDBR team, you guys rock...
Cheers Gordon 🤙
I just love the sound of the big twin. It sounds freaking savage.
Agreed 💪 Thanks for the comment!
WOW! Great to see that bike pushed to it's limit.. Didn't realize how capable they were... With the right rider of course...
For sure mate it's amazing how far Mick can take that monster 💪 Cheers
So much for Chris Birch and his KTM. Bring on Mick and his Africa Twin I say !! Mick is a true inspiration. Can't wait to see Vol.2
Yeahhh 💪 Don't hold ya breath for the next compilation though could be a year away depends how often Mick lets us drag him out in the fun stuff 😁
Multiple dirt bike riders: this hill is too steep, I think I'll just lay down and have a nap right here.
Mick on a 500 lb adventure bike: hold my beer...
What an amazing rider. He has serious courage. I hope one day I can be close to that good.
Don't we all... thanks for the comment! 🤙
Incredible riding! I was like "oh another video with only music", thank you for having only one song and the rest is the amazing sound of the AT!
Cheers yeah I had some clips with unusable audio which obviously I put with the music, the rest just the raw AT sound 👌🤙
No matter how many times I watch this I never tire of it. The man has no fear. I'm guessing Mick was a semi-pro rider back in the day. Either that or a born natural. Inspirational to watch.
That guy is crazy!
An it shows really good that the Rider makes the difference!
Very true mate cheers
Beast mode engaged... Pushing that thing around like it was a 125cc toy. Mad skills!!!

where are you getting exhausts so cheap? on Fleabay here in US, the cheapest is around $240 US for an ugly chormed up stainless Delkevic..

Indeed cheers Jesse see ya soon mate 👌🤙
the sound of AT is amazing and when it goes over deep creek, it looks like a battleship
This guy is awesome! I love that he is taking that Africa twin into some deep Deep Woods! Very cool
Fearless 💪 thanks for watching 👌
What a beast this bloke is. After riding the Africa Twin an enduro bike would feel like a mtb bike.
Yeah I imagine it would! Thanks for the comment bro 🤙
What a great tribute to Mic! Hope his shoulder mends quick so he can get back out there. Great job man!
Thanks John! Lot of people hoping that too lol 👌🤙
The note that comes from this bike is amazing, and riding skills are bloody impressive.
Thanks mate it's a weapon, sounds so much better in the flesh too 💪 Thanks for watching man
What a loose unit, great collection put together . I can really appreciate those skills on a big bike. Cheers for another top vid
Good on ya Rob cheers mate 👌🤙
Mad Mick's got mad skills. Quality rider right there.
For sure David cheers mate
Good stuff! There's two ways to ride an AT. (1) the Big Bike Adv way, and (2) Micks way 😎
Mid Coast Adventures Hahah, yep.
I know which way I'll be trying (and probably failing) when I get a big bike haha 👌 Cheers mate

Man, this guys makes it look easy muscling that beast around on single track.
He does ay, gives me false hope for my adventure riding years haha 😁 thanks for the comment 🤙

Incredible rider and bike. I love seeing people push there limits
Mick certainly does that! Cheers mate :)

very good hard riding man
i will never have the guts to ride my africa twin that hard you are a boss
Thanks for the comment man 🤙
That’s how you ride a Africa twin ,nice work 🤘🏽😎
Mick makes other old guys like me smile...got me new TriScram12XE to do the same in Colorado. "Die young, as late as possible" kiddies.
Awesome mate thanks for the comment 😎
I like it when mick flys up the hill past all the light weight enduro bikes scattered all over the hill that couldnt make it up.
Fucking amazing riding man.
Im guessing your tyres get replaced as often as you put fuel in the tank.
Hahaha yep that's classic Mick picking his way through the wreckage like a boss 💪 Thanks for the comment mate
He is such a great rider, respect from beijing China
Hello China thanks for watching! 👌🤙
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Enjoyed very much.
No problem mate thanks for watching! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 👌🤙
The best!!! Mick is a rocky guy ! A real rough rider. Best regards
Haha cheers mate! 👌🤙
What a rider. Proves its 90% rider 10% bike. Really shows what some bikes are capable of with a couple of mods.
Thanks for sharing this great video. I have an Africa Twin, and I do off road with it too. This is an amazing bike, most capable for its weigth. The original transmission is 16/42, but reducing the front pignon to 15 like Mick, would increases torque by 7%. Also, such performance can only be reached with à manuel transmission.
Yeah mate, cheers, ride the hell out of that thing 💪👍
Pure magic. I hope my future AT will know how to do that as well 😀
😂 you and me both 🤙
He`s like: I paid the money, I`ll make it work for every penny! And so he did! I love the way he rides, I love his attitude, kind of ``hell or high water`` and, yes, he shows that it can be done on a big adv bike.
Won't say no to a challenge that's for sure! Cheers
Some talent. Serious respect man.
Thanks for the comment bro 🤙
I almost never comment on a UA-cam video but you sir, are a legend :-D. The way you handle that AT is so much fun to watch.
Cheers mate thanks for making an exception for Mick he loves every one of these comments his wife reckons he struts around the house like a peacock these days 😂 Haha just kidding hopefully he doesn't read this 😁
😂 ye and she just rolls her eyes back at me

Huge respect for Mick, he could do so easy on a proper enduro bike but yet stick to his big lady (and yet is still quite effective). Cheers!
It's a work commuter as well so why not if ya can! Cheers mate 👍
First time to the channel.loved it👍👍makes me want a Africa twin.. Awesome awesome
Thanks Ian glad you liked it :)

I must have now watched this a dozen or more times, its still fkn mint
Awesome Rob cheers mate!
Incredible skills . Most guys hit a gravel road here and there this guy goes straight through the jungle .
Remember Twins are not for single track , except for Mick lol .
This guy is a serious fighter.
Well done buddy
Thanks for the comment mate 👍
Incredible riding. I could not imagine taking such a big powerful machine in such difficult terrain!
Seems like a recipe for disaster huh 😎

I love how you didn't edit this for a flawless ride and show how a real rider handles a trail ... brilliant footage from brilliant rider
Thanks mate :)

I am going to test drive the Honda African twin recently. I was a little scared about it, but after reading your video, the fear disappeared.
Did you buy it? :)

Good luck sir 😁

Cheers mate thanks for the comment!
100% your a Badass. Congrats on your skills on that big bike!

Incredible skills and muscle power to lift this thing up every time it felt down.
