The bikes were completely stock 2014 500EXC's. We put 80km on them near the factory in Mattighoffen, then they changed the oil for us and I assume they used Motorex Oil. We did 2500km before finding a KTM dealership in Istanbul, who sold us some more Motorex and I changed the oil myself using filters we had as spares. Next Oil change was done in Sharm El Sheik at 5500km. We left the same oil filters in them and rode the final 1500km through the deserts like this.

I generally don't respond to negative, uninformed assumptions or comments but given what we've just endured - UNASSISTED - I trust you'll eat your words during the full length film.

I don't think KTM will ever have a better commercial.

My wife and I are currently riding around the world, over 100,000 kms, 18 counties, 2 years and still going!! and I have to say this video is AWESOME! Keep up the good work!

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone

99% of the people are good people!!!!! KTM FOREVER!

One of my favorite videos on the internet... Inspiring

Massive respect,just restarted my enduro riding at 51,love it!

I bought a copy of this movie in HD and really enjoyed it. Brilliant ride and just amazing how much you guys managed to put into the movie being "on your own". I then went and bought Motonomad II right away and that's even better! I'm glad you guys have not made a 1000 movies because I would be broke...... Really looking forward to your next project.

That's the life!!!

Just spent the evening with a bunch of mates watching this movie!! Thanks Adam for your hard work in putting this together.

It takes Courage and Willpower to do such adventures, Hats off to Adam and Mark

I've watched this so many times. And it's still like the first time. Damn man, Adam does these videos like no other!!! Ken

Now this is what I want out of my life! Very inspirational.

I bought Motonomad today and have just finished watching it. Hats off to these two guys for their courage, tenacity and not to mention their riding skills. It is superb and illustrates the true meaning of extreme adventure and living the dream. The story, views, editing and the superb camera work all on their own make it a must see. Additionally we have one of the few stories that actually relate the true reality of the risk of traveling in these parts of the world now. Bottom line is this is an outstanding production.....and I don't say that lightly.

Awesome edit. I once rode through the jungle and mountains in Indonesia for 4 months without a map on my own and really wish I had made a video like this about it. To think that is your life continuously is unreal. The feeling I got from that trip left me feeling like I can die a happy man. What a life u have created for yourself. Congratulations mate

What a fantastic trip. Thanks for sharing it. It's great that you have the opportunity to go on adventures like this. I have a 2012 500 EXC. I'm happy to report that at about 40,000 km and 800 hours, it's still going strong. Favorite bike I've ever owned.

Two things I learned from this video may be from most of your videos are that ...You are a terrific biker and a Great human being.. Respect mate...👍✌

that mixture of motorbiking, photography and travel is EXACTLY the lifestyle i´d like to live. I'm SO jealous of you guys, especially at adam. Enjoy your lifes buddies, i wish i could join ....

Speechless guys, simply speechless. I'd rather spend time and money to do this, than be one of the last at the Dakar finish line. You made it.

The most beautifully put together video footage i have seen on youtube so far. Loved it so much, possibly the track helped as it is now my favourite song and the album is just amazing. Thanks guys.

Thanks for making videos like this so my son and daughters can why we enjoy off road moto adventures so much all over the world.

Awesome - you guys deserve a medal for achiving that goal!!! Thnx for sharing with the world!

There are three guys in this you tube world that are showing riders world wide what is capable on a ADV motor bike. Adam Riemann is one of them. Keep up the amazing footage and the passion for adventure and different cultures. A modern day Christopher Columbus.

Awesome, inspiring, exhilarating, beautiful and terrifying. Makes you proud to be an AUSTRALIAN! Adam Riemann; mate please keep making your pieces of work just like this with similar pieces of music accompanying. Super professional and super Australian. Good on ya mate! BAD AUSEE!

I really don't understand the people who dislike these videos...it just doesn't get better than this! keep up the good work Adam

Ive watched all motonomad series and i love them, this trailer is as awesome as the full length film, please make more!!!

Crap, every time I think I've gotten over the itch to get a bike and have an adventures I find an awesome video like this. Thanks for sharing such a great experience!

One of the most exciting clips I've ever seen. Amazing job riding, traveling, filming and editing.

Wow, must have watched this trailer a few times and gives me goosebumps every time. Absolutely amazing!

Brilliant footage, great riding and amazing backdrops. Wish I was there!

I have a 2004 525 exc that has been raced hard in technical enduros for 9000 kms and when I opened the engine last January ,apart from a valve not seating properly it was perfect.. KTM s are Super Strong ----7000 kms with an oil and filter change every week on a trip like that would be fine. Super video guys ,Temper Trap works perfectly with it . I ve sent this to all my bike buddies and booked my offroad trip to the sands for Christmas. Truly inspirationally ,Best of luck to you both.

Guys you've just bought a beaming smile to a rejuvenated 50 yr old biker truly awesome never stop riding and living

Brilliant! You guys are nuts but thanks for letting us come along for the ride!

An awesome and inspiring video. A ride like this is absolutely on my "bucket list". Love it. Thanks so much for making it and posting it.

thank u I'm a poor man and would never be able to go the places u got to go to and thanks to u and ur mate I got to see that awesome video thank you brother.

Amazing adventure Adam, can't wait to see the full version. I ride the 500 exc as well through out all the Canada has to offer and the beast keeps on climbing. Don't bother with the negative comments left from those who are blinded by their own grief. Keep exploring.

Perfect. Looking forward to the release of the full video. I enjoy watching this to remind myself of the possibilities of another way to approach life.

Living the dream on the KTM 500 beasts. We'll done Adam.

Looks epic. Standing by for the release

INCREIBLE !!!!!!! UNO DE LOS POCOS VIDEOS MAS ESPECTACULARES QUE HE VISTO EN KZfaq, CADA VEZ QUE LO VEO ME ENTRAN ESCALOFRIOS,....ALUCINANTE.... ENHORABUENA....

Quite simply the best Adventure bike riding clip I've ever seen, can't wait for the full film. Love it. Manchester on a rainy day ain't quite the same.

Ive done something similar in Canada, and all I can say to you, is yes, yes you can! Just takes grit, endurance and pure determination!!
