I rode an old AfricaTwin 6000km around Norway and Sweden to the Arctic Circle, then rode it another 3000km to London so I could ship it back to Australia! Welcome to the first Episode of THE WARHORSE DOWNUNDER where I'll be prepping the old bike for some massive Adventures across our beautiful country!

CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH for this series of vids with the Warhorse!!🙏I think I can safely say you’re the only person/rider/creator/whatever label you want to put on yourself, I’ve ever found who REALLY GETS IT. This Warhorse series REALLY is what Adventure riding is all about. Thank You for this.

I owned one of these beasts 20 years ago, and I let her go. After following your adventures on the Warhorse, I stumbled upon a beauty in an old warehouse, bought her, and I am busy going through her. I cant wait to start our new adventures together this summer! Thank you for relighting the fire! Glad to see the two of you have been reunited.

It's not the motorcycle, it's not the horsepower, it's the ride...the experience it gives you. Adam truly lives for the "experience"....can't thank you enough for these amazing videos ARiemann1.

Class videos man, I bought my first road bike ,a 97 africa twin back home in Ireland back in the 00s after recovering from Lymphoma,travelled all over Ireland and England on it, I moved to Canada for a new life and instead of buying a bike here I went back and air freighted the Africa twin over knowing it would be right at home with all the offroading that can be done here, not much to speak of in Ireland Its brought me all over Western Canada,Montana,Idaho,wyoming and even to Sturgis bike rally in South Dakota. Its been hibernating the last couple of years but your videos is helping to spur me on to plan its return, thank you

I really appreciate your love for the Warhorse. I ride an old Honda V45 Magna, She's not an Africa Twin, but she's still a classic that broke a lot of new ground in her time, the 750 that would run with the 1000s and 1100s of the day. New bikes are better in almost all respects, more power, better suspension, better brakes, pretty much everything, but there's just something cool about the classics.

Great Stor, the warhorse and you, I recently found a similar warhorse, before I detected this series. Wonderful rider with his horse. I Bought the bike and had my reasonable douts about it, although I am setting it up and planning going on adventure through Africa, because I live here since ten years, and it's becoming time to explore the continent a little more then the very well known safaris by keep. I have been riding motorbikes ( mostly road bikes ) my whole life,( I'm 65 years )only the last 7 years not I did not have a horse. Keep it up, keep posting your beautiful story's, at least they are inspiring.

Ahhh.. what a great video. I have been looking forward to this. I asked you in your latest broadcasts/video 😊, "Is it possible to do all the things you're showing on new adventure bikes" - on old vintage bikes, like the Warhorse?. I see, that you in 40 sec in this video, show everybody, that you handle the Warhorse in the dusty Australian terren, perfectly like all other bikes. Fantastic... I know, it's 30 years old technology, but anyhow- great. I really enjoy your videos, and can't wait to se, what upgrades you have in mind on the warhorse, to improve the bikes handling. It would be great, if it's not a complete change of setup on the warhorse, but only some simple improvements, some of us Africa Twin owners also can do in the garage at home. And then again, just go ahead- give the old girl whatever she needs to be the perfect vintage adventure bike again. The best greetings- from Denmark - Claus
