The Ténéré is a great bike for South Africa, right!? The trip through South Africa was already amazing and we still have so many African countries ahead of us. It’s been a great warm up for the rest! Enjoy your rides as well in the new year!

Absolutely stunning. Bravo ! I am a biker, I am French (emigrated 31 years ago in this wonderful country), and I am also running my own company as a tour operator in South Africa. I have congratulations both of you for giving a fantastic video clip of your journey. I personally have ridden all the places you have shown (bravo on your off road skills...baviaansklof is not fir the fainted hearts)... T7 are fantastic bikes...Good choices.

Thanks! We were very happy with the stock tires, they were great on tarmac and good enough off-road for what we do while traveling. We changed the stock tires in Casablanca at the end of our Moroccan trip with 18,000 km on them (with still some miles left on them). We changed them for Mitas E-07 Dakar. Not close as good on tarmac as the Pirelli’s, yet better off-road. They’re great for traveling, they seem to last forever. 21,000 km on them right now and still going strong!
