Thanks my friend! It was quite a journey and having folks like you to share it with makes it so much better. Thanks again.

That gate was locked in 2017, dragged my 690 under it, little easier than your bike. The rock slide was passable for the 690 at that time, not anymore. Congratulations 👍👍👍.

Thanks so much! I bet is was still tough dragging your bike (emotionally and physically lol). I've watched a few videos of others having to do it there too...and folks making it through that rock slide section in prior years. Thanks again for watching and the kind words!

Gates are utterly un-American. In my passionate opinion.

Thanks buddy! Yes Battle Rock was a welcomed and beautiful site for me at the end of the trail. Glad you enjoyed the ending and I hope it sucked you in to watch some of my adventures in Africa!

Another great video. Would've never thought of dragging the bike under that gate. A ride like that would be heaven for me, absolutely spectacular. Be nice to see a video on the setup of your bike. Great job Lee.

Thank you so much! Yep, it was either dragging it under or backtracking way too far. I hope you get a chance to enjoy some or all of the TAT on your bike. As for the setup of my bike, I think I will do a video on it before too long...something like 'Everything I Brought on the TAT'. Thanks again for the kind words!

Well done !

Good job getting that done on the ole 1150! I remember that gate at 3:27. We took luggage off, slid it under the bar and went down in the trees and made the vertical climb on my ktm 950s and my sons triumph 800 tiger xc

Thanks Mike! Wow, there was no way I could have done that climb...or at least no way I was going to attempt it alone on a big bike...my hat goes off to you two!

Roughly what section is the slide located?

@lkandlbinder

2 жыл бұрын

@@kwacker44 It is on the last section of GPS Kevin's route, less than two hours from the end of the trail. Once you come to the slide, just look at your gps and you'll see a very easy alternate route. Turn around, go down the hill and make a turn and you'll be good to go. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Very nice, beautiful way to finish Lee. Keep up the great work! (Expect maybe that might have been a Lynx (or 2) yelling at each other?)

Thanks Tom! Yes, you may be right about it being Lynx yelling at each other...just sounded like a fierce cat to me...not a bad alarm clock to wake you up in the morning out there lol! Thanks again!

That rockfall area has really changed. We were able to take off panniers and ride through there in September of 2019. I was just comparing your video to our pictures. Definitely not doable anymore!.

I believe you are right Mike...it definitely seems like an active rockfall situation there. Thanks for watching!

Same observation. Went through carefully in 2019. 2 DR650s, a 690, 800GS, and AT1000. Cool to see how it’s changed.

great video, how many miles on the gs. regards from west yorks.

Thanks Jeffrey, glad you enjoyed it! The GS has about 55,000 miles on it. I put 11,500 of those on just on this trip (to and from the West coast of the US). Thanks again and regards from Sierra Leone!

Thanks for sharing your trip, how many USD cards did you use for this trip.

It's my pleasure Angel and thanks for watching! As for footage storage, I had three 256gig micro sd cards...(one for each gopro and one for the drone). I would back up those files each night (or at least that was my plan) onto an external hard drive using only my phone to do the copy. I'm not sure how many gigs of footage I got but I would say having one SD card for each camera and backing those up often onto a different hard drive is a good way to go (I actually lost a lot of footage when I lost two SD cards on this trip). Hope this helps. Thanks again for watching and I hope you subscribe and watch my adventures here in Africa!

Was that Kevin's or Sam's route that took you to those gates?

@lkandlbinder

2 жыл бұрын

It was Kevin's but it could also be on Sam's as there is a lot of shared routes between the two...one option is to not go around any closed gates you come to up there...just turn around and find a different route. You'll still find some real great roads to enjoy if you do that. Thanks for watching Lee...I never met a Lee I didn't like :)
