It did well especially on the high speed sections where I got to ride it. Some early model issues but no breakdowns.

Looks like an awesome ride, was this a self organised trip?
@rowanpage14524 күн бұрын
No, it was organised by Specialised Adventures. I can highly recommend it!

That looks like a blast! Some gnarly sections there, nice riding skills on display. I approve of the music, good choice. Dis mooi wêreld.

Hi. Did you book any bnb's ahead of time? Love the content. Also want to know how you did your planing on maps for africa? If it is possible.
@rowanpage14524 ай бұрын
Hi! Thanks appreciate the feedback! I actually booked all my accommodation well ahead of time. I know this isn’t a popular approach and many people say it’s a terrible idea, but I had some fixed commitments with family and needed to be in specific places at certain times. And even with some mechanical issues it worked out ok. I had a paper tracks for Africa map and a used a spreadsheet where I noted the towns I would pass through and the roads I would travel, as well as the distances and estimated travel times.

halo~may I know which routes you went skiing?
@rowanpage14524 ай бұрын
We were mostly around Björnen and VM8. The more wide open areas are above Rödkullen. Hope that helps!

I'm looking to do these routes soon on my F800GS. Looks to be so much fun. Send us your gps tracks so we can copy your experience!
@rowanpage14524 ай бұрын
I didn’t have GPX tracks I used a tracks4africa paper map. I used the GPS where there were no road signs mostly.

Amazing adventure, how often did you fuel?
@rowanpage14526 ай бұрын
I could usually get 300km comfortably on a tank so there weren’t too many places I had to really worry. I’d say on average twice a day.

Hey man im looking to buy a 800gs and found your video. Looks like an amazing trip and a great video. Keep it up and thanks. Any flat tyres?
@rowanpage145210 ай бұрын
Thanks! Luckily no flats even with lots of rocks. I did always keep the tyres quite firmly inflated, around 2bar.
