- James Alexander completed the 2021 Dakar Rally in unsupported category Malle Motto Single. I was stoked when I got the opportunity to meet him in his hometown of Maun in Botswana. And before you knew it, we were already planning our ride to Khwai. Along the way we swapped bikes and for the first time in my life I got to ride a proper rally bike. Rally bikes are so much fun - I enjoyed every minute of that sandy road. Thank you, James, for the company, inspiration, and these fun times.

In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I was raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family so he can lead a normal life as best as possible, so please donate generously: gogetfunding.com/arewethereyet/
VIDEO RECORDING DATE: OCTOBER 2021

James wasn't the only legend in this video. We love you, Kinga!
What a gentlemen James is.Good to have these people in our world.Thanks.
Travel meets rally....so nice to see you two motorcycle legends spend a great time together 😊👍!
James knows how to live! Having a ride with another wonderful young lady here… 🤗🙏😊
What a wonderful trip through the beautiful nature of Botswana!
Hey Kinga,
This was so much fun!
It is great to see you interacting with James and enjoying the ride on a light bike! Also the drone shots are stunning! Good job!
Thank you so much for taking us with you to these wonderful and beautiful places. Stay safe and much love from Rwanda! 🤟🏼
Thanks for watching ☺️
I am thinking how is live in a place where time flow in a different speed, a magic place like this.
WOW this tour take my breath out :D
I am imagining how fantastic was siting there with this guy drinking a Soda and talking about how fantastic is a rider life
James Alexander, meeting and riding with all the female ADV riders out there. Such a lucky guy.
27 liters / 7 gallons on the rally bike. Wow! That's a lot of fuel for that bike. Chillie was honored, eh? The drone shots were cool. James and Kinga BIG THANKS! 😎
Chillie was never ridden that hard before 😆
I hired a guy who was a former BMW Dakar factory racer to teach me open desert riding skills and it was just an incredible experience, exhausting and my skills improved SO much.
Watching that guy stand up, hands free and outstretched at almost 100mph over open desert was like watching Jesus walk on water to me LOL. Amazing the vast vast skills and comfort level that comes with the skill level and experience the pros have.
One of the things I learned both with bikes and also with my Jeep Wrangler is that in some conditions, faster makes things so much more stable and easier. I was stuck trying to go slow and cautious on my bike when I first started doing off road riding and realized that once I got to 40-60mph where previously I had been slogging at 25mph, I was finally riding along floating over the terrain vs fighting the bike the whole day. A bit of mind over matter and overcoming fear and replacing it with some trust and confidence in the hardware was a big milestone for me.
Agreed. The issue is when things are getting wrong and you stop floating.........
@@christianmillet9901 Haha yes, mistakes are amplified LOL. I was wearing full armor, flak jacket, full moto guards.
When I got done after 160 miles of desert running I came off probably six or eight times at pretty good speed. The gear did it's job nicely.
I got back to my hotel to clean up and I had the nastiest bruising all over where the guards did their thing. No real injuries though. I'm too old and out of shape to do that anymore but it was an amazing experience.
Your hair was perfect for the day, it doesn't get much better than that, to ride with a legend and on his bike, there's nothing like having the right machine for the job...Awesome video plus I could follow on google maps real easy.
Super video...and what a nice guy James is. How cool to ride a Dakar bike. Great scenery and filming too! Cheers, Steve
This is one of the best, if not the best of your videos yet. I am enjoying a lot seeing your videos, and everytime asking myself why I am not there, riding with you instead of being stuck in office.😍
I must add a second comment. The drone shots of the elephants were just over the top wonderful!
Thank you ☺️
A very nice ride with a very nice fellow. ✌️
Fantastic episode! James is a class act and clearly overall great bloke. You looked good on that 450, it clearly suites you, and the resulting hairdo was simply spectacular!!
Great footage and edit as well. 👍
Chillie was fully loaded but still going strong.
Great drone shots Kinga!! Also, your joy and happiness are equally contagious!!! Cheers
Hay what a great guy and it was brilliant to see chilli in action. Lovely vlog.
Great ride and pro footage of the elephants. 👍
Cool Kinga najladniejsze byl discofox z Jamesa ☺️
Beautiful video, great bikes, fantastic scenery and a great hair day! That's all we need from Kinga to be happy, until the next video. Cheers
Two legends!
Loved this episode! You must have had so much fun. And what a place to stay at afterwards. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Looking into my crystal ball I can see an enduro off road dirt bike in Kinga's future! Wonderful video as always Kinga! Thumbs up! 👍
you did look perfectly at home on the WR not sure Chili was so impressed though. Lucky man to have all them toys James I'd love a go an RR, thanks for helping out Kinga the Moto spirit is strong in Africa.
I loved that WR. This bike is so much fun.
great video kinga i`m following the dakarbiker for years i`m to old 56 years but otherwise i`m want to do it once
Good to see your new adventure ride kinga, loved it, I keep watching your previous adventure rides until I get to see new video from you, never get bored to watch 🌹😍
good Video Kinga , you can handle a rally bike very well .
Thats awesome, thanks and have fun again
Bardzo dzieńkuję ! Brawo 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
"Light & Responsive" that´s what adventure bikes should be like (anything over 125 kg is too much, imo). Thank you Kinga for another wonderfull video!
Very pleasant ride with James, Kinga. All the best for both. 👍
Hi Kings, enjoyed this more than the previous episodes… good to see you riding again and less zoology…I follow you for the riding and the different countries, challenges and terrain. Love your bubbly nature and hope to see more riding! Stay safe! So lovely to see the hospitality James accorded you! On Ya!
You not gonna like next episode...there will be a lot of zoology 😆 (but plenty of riding too)
Bravo, what an adventure! Are you now hooked for smaller bikes? James is a real gentleman.
Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Love seeing your adventures !
Love watching your adventures, SUPERB
Hey Kinga,

Wonderful episode! Especially enjoyed the music and elephants at the end.
Great footage of the elephants 🐘. Looks like you really enjoyed riding James's motorcycle. Look forward to see more creative content!
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
What a great ideal exchange of bike
That’s awesome!
Ai poor chillie, was driving very fast, keep well Kinga,, Thanks for the vids
Excellent video. Thanks
Hey Kinga , thanks for the very enjoyable video and ride with James. You both seemed to have a lot of fun trading bikes for a short time. Do we anticipate a rally ride for you in the near future ? That would be a blast. Hope you are well, and staying safe wherever you are. Cheers, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Great video Kinga! A good experience riding a Dakar racing bike! You got a good partner for the journey!
I'll stick to the travelling. Rallies are not for me. I have zero competitiveness in me.
@@onherbike Got it. No offence intended. 👍
Hey Kinga , cool Video , i love it , viele Grüße aus Deutschland
Bravooo 😎👍
Beautiful Botswana 🤗same gearing as our 500’s (15/48) - economical and a great compromise for travelling.
Sooo we'll see you in the next Dakar rally? Fun to ride a lighter bike now and then.
We are enjoying and wishing you a safe trip💐
Great Episode Kinga ..Love your hair long for sure... Ride On
You're ready for the next Dakar. bravo Kinga
😆I wish it was that easy!
Oh, James was in Saudi. We hope that Saudi Arabia will come, a beautiful country Hani from Saudi Arabia
A Very tremendous Video👍.
Great Video!!!!
Great video!
W❤w! So beautiful MotoVlog of Brave MotoLady. Stay blessed and safe. Love ❤️ from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Enjoy your nice video , thanks Kinga.
trop bien j adore il faut venir en corse.
Nice drone footage Kinga👍👍🇳🇱
wow nice ride Watching from phillipens in takecare always godbless
Elephants foraging in the drone shot at the end was brilliant! And James.... gets to ride with all the best women riders, eh?
Your hair looks great, btw. Like Naruto Uzumaki!
Happy trails to you!
You looked great on the Yamaha Kinga! His fuel tank mods were genius. Great shots of the elephants.
Thanks😊
Having two bikes is great. One like Chilli for travelling and a lighter one just for fun 😎
Ale daliście z Jamesem czadu. Stwierdzam po obejżeniu odcinka że ja to w ogóle jeździć nie umiem 😊... Więcej bym pewnie leżał w tym piachu niż jechał. Fajna "lekcja"... Dziękuję...Pozdrawiam brat motocyklista 👋
Nie przejmuj się, jak bym miała jechać GSem to też bym leżała wiele razy😆 na lżejszym motocyklu jest dużo łatwiej.
Your videos are always good, but the drone footage of the elephants was exceptionally good.
Ah I love it, I was at Sango Safari Camp in 2016🤗🥰 I hope you enjoy it there. I had an amazing tent there and lots of animals just in front. Enjoy your stay 😀 and the food was delicious 🤤
Sango is a special place ❤️
If you add up all the extra weight the GS is carrying to do a round the world trip I think you'd be amazed & obviously if you took it all off it would feel a completly different bike or if you transferred that weight onto his bike then it would also feel totally different. It is what it is-you need certain gear to make the journey and that's just the way it is.
Ride Safe alwys idol....
Great stuff Kinga-good to try something different. His single wouldn't last the distance that your Rotax engine has in your BMW. Twin means you have more pistons firing over any given period, sharing the load. More torque-more hp. But again it comes down to the power to weight ratio as to the impression you get. The other factor is that his compression ratio is probably much higher in order to squeeze as much power out of it as possible without worrying how long it last's. Did you know that the F650GS twin weighs less than all the other GS twins!
Thank you
It just shows. Leaders are born. James could ride a donkey and still win. What a natural talent and humble.
Show!!
congratulations quarter of a million subscribers well done keep it up.
Thank you 😊
👍again for the video. What no little dance for us 😂
well at least now you know :) Mid weight/size adventure bikes rule :) lookout for the Aprilia Tuareg , it's coming in hot!
The trouble with test riding someone else's bike is that you then want one yourself. Not enough money or garage space for most of us. I am loving the African geography. 🇨🇦
Supper video
From 1 Episode 139 i have allseen ,alls are great, allthings you do right , Adventuregirl Kinga !!! and your hair look s"Wonderfull" all the time,...... ride save ,and i hope for you "the lion sleeps at nite !!!! LG from Germany
I think you did better than Itchy Boots when she also met up with James. Lucky you.
Omg you should come to turkey with this spirit of adventure:D
I've already been to Turkey and I love it to bits ☺️
Thanks for your kanks
Love from. Nepal😜💝😍✌️
Fantastic video of the wildlife. A legend in the greatest rally has a Manx flag in the background, land of the worlds greatest road race. Has he been there?
Love you baby away God bless you
Hello kinga nice to see you again Watching you enjoyabel I hope Will visit us in Algéria I Will be happy about that
I wish I could. But it's not possible to get to Algeria overland theses days.
@@onherbike maybe one day I Will bé happy whit that
Hi friend, cảnh đẹp quá bạn, chúc bạn có chuyến đi vui vẻ
Great vid👍🏽How deadly was James on the sand on Chilli🍺
I can't remember seeing a comparison between a baggage bike and a play bike. I think the 701 makes quite a fast baggage bike, but there are mechanical constraint issues.
Nice 👍👍👍👍
nice.... like more for your channel.
