Africa Twin Adventure Sports – chasing a dream


Too big…too heavy…too slow?
DAMO bought an Africa Twin Adventure Sports. Part camera mule, part project bike, and part dream purchase that goes back a long way. But did he make the right call?

  1. Excellent content and well put together. I think we take ourselves way too seriously sometimes when it come to bike choice, so love your outlook.

    I’ve recently transitions to a 2020 ATAS DCT Yes it’s too heavy for my 69yr old body but I don’t care. I love it.

    I love at Cooranbong so familiar with your ride

  2. Hello. Great speech about the motorcycle, I feel the same way. I wanted to ask about your helmet. I know that it has great ventilation, but isn't it noisy at higher speeds of 160 km/h?

  3. Thanks for the video and for reinforcing my desire to purchase a 2023 ATAS . I once owned a 2017 AT and I will be trading a Norden 901 for a 2023 ATAS (manual) in the coming weeks. 🙂

  4. It’s winter here in the states and it’s a perfect time to clean house of the 2018 KTM690R and put a 2019 AT Blk and gold 4k miles in the stable and get it set up over winter to hit the backroads in the spring and summer for some Adventures. Enjoyed your venture thru the backwoods of Aussie . Their’s a channel that actually lives in that area you visited. KOOL RIDE>> Around Bend Oregon out on 2 wheels out! Loin it will make you stay up all night sniff that loin.. LOL

  5. Very nice video! It's very pretty there. I don't know much about Australia,do you have a lot of government land? I was just wondering where you ride? I was all over the map when I bought one of these bikes,and ended up with an Africa Twin. I don't regret it one bit!

  6. You motivated me to also buy an Africa Twin. An older 2017 DCT model, though. Absolutely smitten and love it. Does everything my DR650 could do. Mine is named Toto. Good name for an Africa Twin with a rider from Africa (Southern Africa). Love your videos.

  7. I just came across your channel today, subscribed. Excellent quality photography, sound and story telling. How you have only 7k subscribers I don't know. I have UK channels with more who can't match your quality, though they are not ADV focused. Hope it grows. Thanks for the in depth reviews and humour.

  8. Hey Dude, really enjoyed your very professional made video.
    I own the CRF1000 2017 DCT, compromiseless trimmed for street use because here in Germany we have no legal off road areas to ride in without risking someone calls the police etc….
    However, found your "good god" when looking into the noodle bag very funny HAHAHA

    have fun mate, the CRF is THE BIKE, also for me!
    I never considered to buy another one and then suddenly my wife bought it for me to my 50th birthday…WHAT A SURPRISE!

    All the best from Germany, Dude!

  9. Having the same thoughts at the moment. Logically i should get a more mid-size biked just for an ease of use for solo travel, but i just keep coming back the the AT as the one i want to open the garage to, and the one i want to be on when i'm slogging the highway KM to get where i want to go. As you say the center stand is a big tick for me over most of the other features. Only other one i'm tempted by the Desert X

  10. im going to goto my grave jealous of the riding landscape you guys down there have compared to middle england , great bike choice as well i want one too

  11. I found this video, the narration, the scenery, everything about it, so calming, relaxing, like a mental cleansing ritual of sorts. Maybe its the purity of the land of Australia, maybe the narrator is a realised soul, I dont know, but it all materialized together beautifully. Many thanks to the whole team and best of luck for your future. Now I wish I had friends like this – people of calm spirit with a yearning for adventure and exploration.

  12. Fantastic editing, crazy good commentary "Kamakazi Kanga" I pissed myself laughing, last weekend we had one that jumped as high as our helmets! Next Husq Rally in Tassie I'm sitting at your table Damo for the jokes – love your work (I can see the amount of time it must take to put something of this high quality out there, wow)
