Part 2: Meet-up with adventure friends in Turkey
Day 967: Part 2
This day was very special for me. I had been hosted by a lovely family in Van in eastern Turkey, and was heading to a campground on Van Lake to meet up with fellow adventure riders Melanie and Greg.
I met Melanie and Greg the first time in Kasane in Botswana. Since then we have stayed in touch and now finally we met again in a very different part of the world! The first time we had elephants walking through our camp. This time we has to deal with a tube and Mitas tire repair!
And since Mel & Greg are very experienced motorcycle adventurers with 13 years of travel experience, I took the chance to ask them a lot of questions about life on the road.

If you wonder what a snakebite puncture is!
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.Год назад
Just to show you all what a bad snakebite puncture looks like! A always prefer tube tires, as I have damaged my rim several times, and when that happens, you are in a different kind of trouble with tubeless. Travelling to places where there's far in between motorcycle mechanics, I always prefer things to be as simple as possible, so that I can fix it myself. This tube was beyond repair though! ...
Snakebite puncture on a remote road in Saudi Arabia
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.Год назад
Day 933 I was leaving Alula in Saudi Arabia riding towards Al Disah on a very remote desert road. The road was in a bad state and at some point my front tire hit an object and I had a snakebite puncture. Fortunately I had left already at 6 in the morning so the temperature was still bearable when it happened - much worse was, that it was a brand new stiff Mitas e-09 tire, so I was up for a batt...

Riding sand-covered roads in Dubai with ADVMotoskillz
Просмотров 2 тыс.Год назад
What do you do, when the desert moves on to the road? Riding a motorcycle on asphalt roads that have been covered with sand, is a very weird and scary surface to handle as you go from firm surface to soft to firm and must react and control your clutch and throttle at the right moment to not lose control. Michael from ADVMotoskillz is an expert in sand-riding. He throws his 230 kg BMW R1200GS ar...
Packing for a motorcycle adventure is a challenge. Here are 5 items I like to pack!
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Год назад
As a long-distance motorcycle traveler who likes to find remote roads and wild-camp in the middle of nowhere, I find myself constantly challenged on keeping my luggage light. Heavy luggage is just no fun when you venture off the beaten track, and the road is a bit more difficult. On the other hand, you need your camping gear to make it happen. Unlike shorter motorcycle trips from home, you can ...

Day 853: I had arrived in Mombasa, Kenya - the very last destination in Africa before I would ship to Oman and continue my adventure in the Middle East. As Honey would be spending a week in a container ship, I wanted to make the most of my bike-less time in Mombasa and what better way to do this than eat my way through the amazing street-food in this city!

Riding deep into the Ugandan bush to find Rhinos

I had reached central Uganda and spent the night camping at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The sanctuary normally offers bush walks, but when suggesting I ride in there with a ranger, they were in on it. So that's how I found mu self riding single tracks in the swamp in the African bush searching for rhinos. By my side I had an incredibly skilled and passionate ranger, Simon. He not only made sure I...
Camping alone in an oasis in Oman and seeing eyes in the darkness

On Day 870 I woke up in paradise in the Wadi Sinaq oases. I was on my way north along the Omani coastline and came across this absolute heaven on earth, and even if I hadn't planned on camping, there was just no way, I was not gonna camp here. I was completely alone - or so I thought as I had an unexpected visitor. If you wish to support my travels and the creation of these videos, I am very ha...

They obviously love bikes and I always get a lot of thumbs up and waves and shout-ou...
How Martin prepared his bike for the big Africa adventure!

Martin and I have met up quite a few times now. First time in Nairobi, later in Kisoro in Uganda. Then we met again in Eldoret in Kenya. He even arranged shipping from Mombasa in Kenya to Salalah in Oman. On this day we hang out for the last time, so before he took of I asked him to go through his 2019 Honda CRF250L - a bike exactly the same as mine - to see what he did to prepare it for a big ...

Do they sale the pipes for small gardens, training opportunity?
Amazing farm❤❤❤
Pour info pouril faut faire descendre le pneu à l'oposer de la ou l'on travail et ça rentre beaucoup plus facilement
Thank you so much for the video, it helped me learned a lot. But I was wondering why did you choose to change the tire while it was standing and not lying it down? Are there advantages of doing it this way? Thanks.
I just did my rear tire on my dualsport super sherpa......omg what a battle.....i wish i knew about that valve stem fishing tool hahaha my knuckles were getting reeefed on. I changed mine for the same reason you did , it was old and i wanted to have the confidence to do it alone. I got it on but the back tire takes a little more patience than the front. I love your videos!
Carry can WD40 use this to lube tyre & rim ........ makes things lot easier 🤞👍
I'm just about to attempt to mount the same Mitas. You are an inspiration! Just did it. Was so pleased with myself until I realised that I had pinched punctured the tube. I then enlisted my wife's help to spoon it on for the second time. And I made the same mistake with the spacer on refitting 🥵😂
Humble mom❤
❤🇼🇷🇼💯
Have you had to take the new tyre off yet?
Perfect video 👍🏻
Hey there, may I ask What kind of pliers (brand) do you use to clamp the hose?
amaterism...
You just struggled so much lay the wheel down and use you weight . Take both beads off one side, on mounting place the tube in the tyre with a little air in simple
The road reminds me of angola wch sh said sh covered 100 kl while in zambia its just 40 kls bt the insults zambian pipo post on this one as if its the only poor road in africa but in angola its even mo bag wen they even hav oil
Im just taking a brake from my garage changing my Mitas E07+. This is the third time I do this myself on this model of tires. I HATE IT !. But when they are on, they are great. Booth on asphalt and gravel. And they last long. Got to love them for that :)
Thank you I have really enjoyed the ride dia
Amazing Video. You all rocks guys! Hope you are safe and full of hapiness now. Greetings from Czech <3
It's almost worth a run to the hardware store for C clamps. Patience was your virtue here. I laughed when Big Rock Moto said he was "shade treeing" a tire change with a Harbor Freight fixture. What you did was truly shade tree. 👏👏
jst look the way ppl r suffering with lots minerals in tht country,wt ashame with us african
Weldone sister,really luv to follow u page
The world of Mitas. My favourite fantastic tyres, but a hell to put on (certainly the Dakar versions)
Thank you for sharing the best motorcycle tire changing video on RUclips!
Best video next time sleep in my luxury camp in Merzouga desert
Nice instructional video. I just struggled with a rear Dunlop Trailmax Mission tire today. Impossible! Manufacturers are making them so stiff these days they clearly don't care about those of us who still use tubes and tire irons. With offset spoked wheels on the newer and more expensive bikes, the market is catering to tubeless. And street riders just get it done at a shop because they are less remote.
You are awesome Henriette! I want to marry you!
awesome video, thanks so much!
I used the kick stand and weight of bike to break bead. Thank me later.
Hi , i have the same 12,5l acerbis tank , what is this little airvent connector on the top, i want such one , thanks
I have Mitas too. And the scars to prove it 🙄
Flip flops vs Mitas tire change......bad combination. In future....wear your boots to work the bead...knees and boots.....A Riemann1 tire change/repair video pretty much demonstrates the proper way to do it. flip flops, painted toe nails....very nice but injuries do occur during mechanics.....
Enjoyed your vid. It helped me change the rear on my T7 for the first time.
NICE! awesome video!
Lovely!!! Really brave woman. No worries, we all swear when doing staff 😂😂😂
Great video, thanks. I have fixed a few tires but still learned from this excellent video.
First of all your pronunciation of the Kinyarwanda names of the towns is Top-notch👌🏾. The abandoned town you passed through was not affected by war; there hasn't been any war or conflict in Rwanda for the past 30 years. The houses have been washed away due to heavy rainfall and landslides that are so common in those hilly areas, especially in the rainy season.
Damn, Sonja was BAD ASS!! 😮
Mad Max bike engineering.
great job, we have all been there. Same issues. But never in flip flops or bear feet. Congrats.
Interesting no-nonsense functional setup! (the folks at Touratech must be horrified)
Please don’t confuse Zambia with Zimbabwe.
What’s the location name to put on gmap
nice of you to do it but you should not name this a tuttorial bicose you are doing it all wrong , if its hard to do you are doing it wrong
A great video. Just one extra tip. Remove the shrader valve before inflating to set the bead. This avoids resistance to the the inflator/pump. It works on both tubed and tubless tyres. Thanks again
I like your motorbike i would like to buy one
Noraly is in malawi Aka ithcy boots are related . ❤❤❤
great job! but use better baby powder or silicon spray for the tube..... it will protect the tube much better . wish you happy and safe riding !
Its ashame that every motorcycle in zambia they called it Hondas😂😂
Fantastic job. Well done.
Very informative video, thanks. I was really interested to watch, as I am deliberating on the choice of my next bike choice - was considering the V-Strom 800 DE, (so with tubes), but a little concerned about the tyres, should I get a puncture. At the beginning of the video I was inspired, but after such a skillfull, knowledgeable person having trouble, and taking 47 minutes, I'm going to go with something that has tubeless! I mainly do road riding anyway, so tubed doesn't make much sense really. Thanks for helping me decide!
