Roaming Raptors: Africa Twin Escapades - Gouritz Pik n Wyn and trouble in paradise
Roaming Raptors: Africa Twin Escapades - Gouritz Pik n Wyn and trouble in paradise is our latest vlog . Pik n Wyn is a house Monica and I always stay in Gouritz , a tranquil town on the southern cape coast. We have stayed here for weekends for at least the last 10 years and Renata the owner always lets us know if she has a open weekend which over the years has become a rare thing . The video starts with us arriving at the center of town . All here seem to have changed for the worst where the town use to be a little fisherman's village. Things felt weird like how can i put it , more like a community divided.
The whole center was deserted ,with no one in sight. The liquor store was empty wit...

What a lekker vid, awesome music Paul.
tx you Rudi
Paul & Monica this video is great. Dammm I wish I could have joined you on that trip. Keep it up.
Thank you Kokkie, yes it will be nice to have you onboard for another adventure. Its always a adventure when on two wheels.
Lekker video ! I like the music also !
thax Joe
And unexpectedly I 'bump' into you guys at the Hungry Ghost. It was so nice to meet up with you and Monica... you two bring so much pleasure to my life. 👍👍
Tx Kokkie wish we could ride more but at the moment so stressed out but sure it will get beter
Thank you sir for sharing your travels
The pleasure is mine Emil ,you welcome and tx for looking out for us
@@symadventures2914 we all have angels sir
tx u
Paul this is a good video. Happy that your fleet of red Ferraris was delivered on time. 😂🤣
Yee i wish we all have those dreams
its Codename😂
all good tx for game will try record
Paul you'll have to get me up to speed with all the tech stuff. I ride 'old school' which is a mix of memory, chatting to locals, and bits & pieces of paper maps. Sooo getting lost is one of my riding skills. 🤣😂🤣😂
We got u covered
At a Stop-n-Go you always go to the front on a bike. Otherwise you are sandwiched in the traffic, sometimes slow trucks, for the duration of the detour.
Thank you Peter , did not really know that . I was more under the imprestion its rude to cut the line but it make 100% sense what u saying txs
My wife also said she read what you saying but shes scared she takes the rest of the cars with her on her way to the front, Dis maar moelik om met n vrou te ry hulle dink anderste
@@symadventures2914 My vrou ry ook saam...maar ek sê, sy ry SAAM, sy ry nie😁Die persoon agter die stokke neem die besluit.
Thanks for youre insight. Its very inspirational
Hey Empie all good its a pleasure
Hi, good to see youre going strong! What gopro are you using at the moment?
Hey Gregory nice to here from you. We useing the gopro 8 with two of these very cheap Volkano 4 k camras
That's why you always keep a spanner and hammer on hand. You never know when someone wants to throw down
lol tx you Marcello my son for the wise words so glad u guys are watching and lover to jr
Hi hi I'll be in the Uniondale area in September 2024. Since YT does not permit contact numbers I do not know how to contact you. If you answer just with you business name I will manage to contact you. We can perhaps do a loop together.
all good tx google market fisheries dis n metro wholesale wat my kinders bestuur my number is on that page whats up me
Paul did I hear you well?... did you dress light because the ride to Hermanus was only 20 minutes?? If I heard you correctly then I advise that you sacrifice comfort and go AGAAT..... always. Some horrible accidents have happened within metres from take-off. Please buddy full AGAAT always.
yes with light i mean no jacket but breast plate and knee guards just no jacket
lets rock n roll !
yep i enjoyed it nogals better than ...
I also ride an Africa Twin and hate its weight when 'man-handling' it. I am sure that lighter bikes is a good way to go...... 🤔🤔🤔
It is but i just think it is so capable and i enjoy the gentle power curve it gives. We would like to ride with you sometime please let us know maybe a breakfast run . let us know
@@symadventures2914 I tried to send my mail address but You tube cancelled my message. How can we make contact??
I find that a good biker can ride safely without using indicators. My motto is rather no indicators than forgetting to switch off.
Hi kokkie long time no hear but you right never thought of it in that way and i guess it's safer in that respect
LEKKER SCARY😢❤😮
was nogals
SO SO LEKKER KAN NT LAG VI PAUL.😂😂😂

Dankie ja baie oulik
Hi there. Been looking for a good review on these bikes as im thinking of purchasing one myself. How have you found the reliability and comfort on longer rides?
Hi it good for long trips and comfortable just highway is a bit of as slep
Bought a damaged Sym NH 125 T with only 1200km. ... def need the crashbars, those tank panels are like porcelein. And Suzuki South quoted me almost R7500 for both sides excluding decals, another R3000! Ok bike, seat not comfortable after half an hour. Pretty flimsy feel to it, Honda XR built solid and plastics can take falls without breaking! To me a good 6/10 bike!
Hi yes i see what you saying and i guess a 6/10 is fair but for the price to begin with a 200 Sym like my wife did has brought us great times and memories
the caravelle is very good for camping
yes i agree stay tunned to see what we going to get
hello if i may ask, can you travel on free-ways and open roads with these bikes, lets say a return trip of 1000km?
or rather can you travel from cape town to mosselbay for an in and out delivery trip?
Hi yes one can but tuff on highway dew to to wind and speed
Merry Christmas to you and Monica. I'll make sure to join you in a ride in 2024. If my 'invasion' is acceptable. 😂🤣
Same to you for the Christmas and new year and for sure looking forward to riding a trip with you in 2024
You will be the first person we ride with and i think it will be awesome
am 177cm and 105kg is it good for me ?
Hi yes perfect i was 110 and 172 wife 170 and weight is a mystery

Itchy boots is my inspiration in motorcycle world . I learn to ride got learners, motorcycle lisence and bought a motorcycle because of her videos
Yes that lady has done crazy trips
The road is beautiful, but if you can adjust the camera for a better view, that would be great for your videos.

Very well done, The conditions are definitely not ideal but that's what adventure riding is all about. Lol
Yes , im actually very into pc s my self love gaming ect but if you can contact me on whats app i will give you a rundown on pros and cons of the bikes ruclips.net/user/shortsS-MjDKS5l-A?feature=share
i struggle so much with my pc
Die "666" subscribers pla my baie so ek moes dit verander. Dankie vir die videos. Kan jy miskien iets doen vir meer insig op die fiets ek stel belang om een te koop maar daar is nie baie inligting beskikbaar nie. Dankie.
Hi eks net so bly ek waar deur dit baie . AS jy my kan kontak op whatsapp sal ek baie beter vitr jou die pros and cons van die fiets kan gee
Load of nonsense really mate

👍 as a experience sym motorcycle driver, do you recommend sym brand for long distance.Are these motorcycles reliable
Hi yes i would recommend the Sym in the two years and 10 000 km we had little to no issues except for highway speeds mabe just not strong enough
Awesome!
Thank you for watching
Wish I could join you on a ride or a leg of a ride. But RUclips is not the place to exchange contact detail..... So???

New subscriber from Scotland. Yep in Scotland we know all about aquaplaning! Especially in the summer 🤣
Thanks for the sub! Hi yes here by us where i stay its very dry normally but this is the most rain we have had in years and as the vid shows lots of cars just racing along till that specific one became the unlucky victim .Do you ride motorcycle
@@symadventures2914 Yeh, I swear by Michelin Road 5 tyres. The tread pattern works like a squeegee wiping deep water clear. Great tyre for extreme wet riding
@@soggybawsmoto i will look them up
Hydroplaning also known as aqua-planing occurs easier on a bike than on a vehicle. Viewers can simply check out out dirt bikes riding across water ponds or dams. RUclips the topic.
Hi sure i will google and take a look
Camera quality seems a lot better so works out in the end!
Hey hi yep pitty weather was so bad
*PromoSM*
not really sure what one dose with this
Would you recommend as a first bike
Hi yes i would and i would go as far as in saying it can even stay as a permanent bike for even when you upgrade to bigger just to do fun quick shopping or just to sharpen skills
Dirt Bike Also❤
The best ❤️
Wow! When I am older then I'm going to get a bike❤
You can i will teach you to drive when i get younger
