    Your Warhorse series is literally some of the best motorcycle content available today. You have mastered the spirit of the Adv bike with that Africa Twin. Thank you!

    So happy to watch your excitement grow as the bike went through the inspections. Most Aussie part of the video has to be when you compliment the welder and he replies “and that’s after two beers!” - lol, that’s awesome. Congrats on the bike, great story 👍🏻

    I love that old skool adventure bikes are becoming popular again so guys like you are producing content like this. Old bikes have heart and soul - something the new bikes don’t.

    I absolutely hang on every Fram. I have a love affair with a 1999 klr 650. I bought out of a barn. I call her my y2k The Boss. Watching you breathe life back into the war horse has hit a soft spot in probably anyone who has had the joy of finding that old girl that time forgot. Great stuff Adam.

    Oh my dear Lord! This series has made me feel like I haven't in a long time... A KID!! This is my favorite motorcycle model ever made, and seeing one being so well restored and treated such as yours, made me tear up a bit.

    Love to see you being mad about your Africa Twin! 😍👍
    That's what I did to my Cagiva Elefant 900 i.e. Lucky Explorer. Now 32 Years young! Rebuilt with 18/21 Excel Rims, Powder coated Frame and so on. It's a Dakar Winner too and one of about 1000. I love ridibg it due to the 900 ccm Ducati Engin.
    I will never give it away.
    Always a safe ride and maximum fun with your Africa Twin! 🍀🙏🍀

    I'm all here for the old "Lady", the Africa Twin. There are so many channels with all these new bikes KTM's, teneres, GS's... Very nice to see how this story starts to grow even better and better. Million thanks so far for very informative videos, how to strap a bike to a tree, how to pack properly (basically only a rum and another pair of undies). Love you, hugs from Finland 🫂

    These videos capturing the feelings us bike nuts have towards old machines that we share such great memories with are the best videos on the internet. When a bike has such a story and connection with its owner then it becomes part of the family.

    @kiliandrennan975 Год назад +1

    watching Adam restore that old Honda Africa Twin, aka "the warhorse", was truly inspiring! It's amazing to see how beautifully she showcases what's necessary on a motorcycle and what's not. This bike was probably standing for such a long time and watching it come back to life is truly exciting. The attention to detail and dedication to the restoration process is evident in every step he takes to scrub the years off her back. It's truly a work of art and a testament to the timeless durability of these machines. Cheers Mate, thanks for the movies about her!

  • @Two-StrokeLife
    @Two-StrokeLife Год назад +1

    Your journey with the Warhorse reminds me of the thrill I get from riding......47 years now for me. I have followed your video series on this bike and it's grand mate! Thank you Adam for your knowledge, your enthusiasm, your no bull sense, and your channel and videos. I have learned much from you and not just about riding or bikes, but also about life and going for it. If I may..." I could probably wait around for the conditions to be perfect, but who really has the luxury of time. Just going to take the opportunity I've got and go for it" Your words strike me in the most powerful way Adam.

    It’s really good to see warhorse again, I have soft spot for these types of early adventure bikes, my first was a 1985 DR600 which I totally rebuilt it the early 90’s which I used as a daily through the week went camping on the weekends, until I discovered how the internals of a Honda XR 600 were built with roller bearings on the cam shaft. Then I changed camps. Now after having a 2014 660 Tenere for 12 months,which after 10 yrs of owning a LC4 400 previous. I sold the Tenere & chase down the 07 ktm 640 adventure interstate,so far after pulling it down & going through it I’ve address everything that was needed, my plain is to do the cape unsupported in September from blue mountains nsw. Thank you for sharing your story it’s great to watch & inspirational 👍👍👍

    @joseplinionigrojr3316 Год назад

    I did the same on my 1995 African twin. I took it all apart and put it back together correcting all age problems. It's a good bike. You have to use a reinforced tire and inner tube due to its weight.

    @billroberts9182 Год назад

    When I had to change my brake fluid or bleed my brakes on my Piper supercub, we always pushed the hydraulic fluid from brake end, toward the master cylinder. This helped to purge tiny bubbles in the master cylinder and tubing so the brakes didn't feel spongy.

    Hey mate. Inspiring stuff!
    I have a Transalp from the same year as the Warhorse and i have to say it is the same feeling... Never gonna sell it! Always starts at first try and smooth as silk with just enough power.
    So, as yourself, decided to turn it into a 2023 machine with a complete rebuild with everything she wants and needs.
    Thanks for sharing and thanks for the off-road technics. It helped a lot!
    Keep it up! Cheers from Portugal.

    longtime fan here. the Africa Twin content is my favorite so far. Seeing you ride an older bike that you are so clearly passionate about takes it to the next level. Cant wait to see the old Warhorse absolutely ripping through the outback!!

  • @bjornonwheels
    @bjornonwheels Год назад +1

    Excellent storytelling, Adam! Hope the old Warhorse will deliver the Aussie outback adventure you're planning. It's quite exiting to see you engage in this 30 year old AT. The heritage of this XRV750 RD04 animal being a development mainly for the European market, you've got a specimen that will be envied down under once restoration is finished. The Akrapovic adaption was awesome and you most definitely make them proud! Looking forward to devour your planned outback adventures and YT episodes to come.
    Greetings from Norway and best of luck to you and your Warhorse project!

    Be weary of the fuel pump as the points wear out. If you can solder, just keep a spare set of points instead of whole pump. Looking forward to more AT content :-) It makes me want to own one again ;-)

    Some friends of mine had a VFR 750 with 250000 kms on the odometer. They took the whole engine apart and measured everything that could have been worn down with a micrometer. Anyway it was Zero problems! So changed bearings, pistons etc and rode on for many many years. If people do the maintainance Jap bikes last 4-ever.
