  • This was one of the most challenging routes of my entire journey, travelling from N'dende, Gabon to Dolisie, Republic of Congo.
    The CRF250L held up incredibly well, completing a 200 mile day of mud, puddles and much more!

    I fully understand Harvey I was working away with my dad and he started to get confused. he was fit and healthy but sadly had a grade 4 brain tumour. After six months he died which totally changed my life and way of thinking. Keep plugging away mate It sounds like your mum was so proud of you.

    Every time I see a vid like this where the going gets tough and the rider has to dig deep to overcome difficult terrain it makes me think of of these people who do marathons and other sports where will power is the thing that gets you through.
    Big difference is on a ride like this you do not have a coach or medical back up as a safety blanket, it is just you and the bike, life or death.
    Kudos to you Harvey, real adventure riding, there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, that to me is bravery.

    I've done that trip on my 990 r, key is on that type of mud is keep the weight closer to the front and use a decent amount of constant power to push through you loose the front because the backs not pushing enough, give her a good old handful and you'll fly through it, fantastic video you've got yourself a fan in me.

    I just finished watching all your Africa videos and thoroughly loved them, well done! I too am wanting to travel by motorcycle in the near future and am having problems deciding on a bike. The 3 bikes I'm currently looking at are the CRF250L, DRZ400S and WR250R, I would love to hear your thoughts on these 3 bikes for long distance traveling like you did in Africa and why you chose the Honda for your trip? Thanks in advance.

    • @youssefchennoufi8205
      @youssefchennoufi8205 Před 5 lety +1

      When traveling in africa power is really something you don't need so a 250 is just enough but which 250 that is the question. The honda crf has been proven by many people to be reliable even in the hardest conditions and it will do it with comfort but at the end of the day it's you who is going to do the trip so choose something you like. But as i said in my opinion the crf is just perfect just don't be too rough on it because of the soft suspension
