- We headed to Somerset in the UK and the Dave Thorpe Adventure Centre for our first off-road ride of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sport. Can you tow a stuck Ford Transit with a couple of Africa Twins, watch to find out!

Having been trained by Chris a few times at ORS, witnessing his god skills on a bike first hand. It's quite nice to watch him rolling around in the mud like the rest of us. Brilliant video.
Great vid - thoroughly enjoyed that and it just confirmed why I don't want to go anywhere near an off-road centre!!! Great stuff gents - keep up the good work...
If the Legend that is Dave Thorpe can fall off in those conditions, then you did bloody brilliantly👌🏽
What I love about Chris's presentation is just how much his love of riding comes through. It's obvious he's passionate about bikes, and everything involved with bikes, and that makes everything much more entertaining. Cheers
Love how he picks up the bike uphill within a second from falling over! Think I´ll be going to the gym now see you!

This is an awesome presentation! I’m travelling with my AT standard for five month now and it took me everywhere I wanted. I’m not an off-road guy, but this bike inspired me to take more and more gravelly backcountry roads. Nice video!
Dave Thorpe what a legend
Loved that, Chris.
As always, great video. I've come to the conclusion at 52 that I am too lazy for gnarly off-road ADV. It's too much hassle unless it's bone dry or the traction is good. I love my GS700 with decent offroad (TKC70 Rocks) tires, and have had it on loads of single track, but picking it up is a PITA and when you go down, it's pretty hard on the body. There's also the "I can't fix it because it's too complicated" problem and pushing a 250KG bike out of a 10km trail is no good. I bought a smaller, lighter, (much) cheaper and more simple Dual Sport for terrain like this. I love my ADV for going places and dry off-road, but you can keep the mud and slippery stuff for bikes weighing less than 150KG for me. Kudos to those who do though.
Finally a bit of sense on the AT review. Yes, it struggles into enduro terrain because it if not an enduro bike. Still, it handles the tough stuff pretty well would say. Nice video! Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us.
first time ive ever seen a van towed by a bike or 2 hahaha love it
Towing the Van was a very practical & instinctive thing to see..👍
Absolutely loved the video. It brought back so many memories of struggling up hills in the hills of Tennessee in my youth.
Other children: when I grow up, I want to be a train driver, doctor, astronaut, zzz.
Spent a weekend with the Dave Thorpe riding school when they were based on Wales and my ride was the CRF1000L. Top bunch of guys, no b.s. supportive with good banter, and respectful of individuals ability and the routes were awesome.
Looks like a ton of fun! There's a reason adv riding is one of the hottest games in motorcycle town these days. And I have to say, the bike world content I've been watching recently is top notch. I can't say enough about the stuff you guys have been putting out, I love it and really appreciate you guys making this stuff for us.
loved this one. 2nd time i've seen chris. first time he was on a dragstrip eating up plaids. excellent narration. learned a lot for riding my AT offroad. A+
That’s different ADV tow vehicle. Beautiful hills and trails!
Great video. Coincidentally I am in the market for a touring ADV bike and the AT is currently on the top of my list. Booked a test ride soon to see what its like myself, but these videos do give some insight as well. Can't wait to see the road-oriented video.
