Some viewers asked about the preparation I did to my Honda Transalp XL700V before my trip to the largest country in Africa, Algeria.

I accidentally entered your channel.. I was happy when I saw that there were two videos about a trip in Algeria 😊🌛 Unfortunately, both...explanation and information, but not a trip in the true sense 🤔❗ I very much appreciate your effort and respect your person, but I have advice that I hope you will accept from me as a person who wishes you success in spreading the channel💐😺 Since the title is a journey in Algeria🇩🇿the viewer expects to see a path and an adventure in which he hears the voice of reality... It shows you passing through valleys, people, villages, and mountains...🛣️🏕️🌐 My advice is to make the information you provide about the bike into a separate video ⬅️ And make the viewer feel with you only the road and the adventure.🛣️🏕️ Then he will love to follow you and continue to support you...😃💯 I'm looking forward to the next video... I hope it will be a beautiful and fun adventure🤲🏻💐 When you see this comment, please give me a sign that you have read it so that I can delete it. I do not want anyone but you to read my words, because I truly wish you well and progress. Thank you and have a safe trip😊👍🏻🥇👏🏻 Greetings from kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Hi! Thank you very much for your interesting and detailed advice. You do not need to delete it, as I think it's a worthy opinion. As I explain in the description of my first video this is not a travel vlog. The only purpose of this channel is to share information that may be useful for motorcyclists. All the videos in this channel are related to motorcycle, maintenance, modifications, reviews, travels... The reason I started the Algerian serie is because I couldn't find much information before my travel and I thought it could be useful to publish these videos to help other bike riders with some information. On this specific travel I couldn't get much good quality footage. Sometimes for technical reasons, like a dead battery, others because I was sick as I got a very strong conjunctivitis when I was in the middle of the desert and had to drive several hours on a very bad road half blinded before I could be treated, and very often because I just wanted to enjoy the trip whithout bothering about getting footage for KZfaq. In my next travel I'd like to spend more time getting better footage and propper videos of the country, but again, this is not a travel vlog nor I'm a youtuber. I'd also love to visit your country at some point, as I'm sure there are amazing things to see and wonderful people. Have a great day!

Progressive springs will be not enough- my experience.

@coastrider8881 2 ай бұрын

Interesting. Will it be an improvement compared to stock? And also, did you find any better solution? On my 650 the progressive springs and 7,5W oil made a good improvement over stock. Cheers!

Any chance you found out the thread size regarding the rear shock? I also found myself an old AT skidplate, it just looked like a perfect fit on your 650. Safe travels. Cheers

Hi there! Sorry, I forgot. Just measured it and it's M14x1.5. The AT engine guard looks awesome on the 650, unfortunately it doesn't fit the 700 because of the side fairing.

this is it, older bikes and beautiful destinations. Djebel is of course quite different but now when you have offroadized both 650 and 700 transalps, how do you choose between them ?

@coastrider8881 3 ай бұрын

Well, it's definitely how they look. With similar modifications the 650 is better in offroad and roads in bad condition, while the 700 have more power, is more stable, and the seat is better for long stretches of smooth road. It all depends what you're using the bike to.
