🌎 VOS QUESTIONS & MES RÉPONSES sur mon tour du monde en side-car Ural [S3-E21] (toujours en cours)

Hello everyone, well it gives me pleasure to be able to exchange unilaterally with you so I already thank all those who were willing to play the game of asking me questions that I will answer so in the majority eh so I collected all your

Questions either on my Facebook or on the Road Trip Moto France-Europe (and rest of the world) page where there were quite a few participants too, so more than 90,000 km and 54 countries crossed in 2 years and 2 months it’s not bad. The situation

I am in Peru in the town of Chimbote on the coast of the South Pacific Ocean and I had to leave the llamas and the Andean reliefs to find a big city to order parts for my tank yeah because what harsh conditions. It was strong.

I didn’t look for the little beast but when you stop for hundreds of kilometers on very rough roads, it vibrates and then it can break. In fact, I have to change the wheel spokes, add a part that I lost for

The foot brake, that is to say at the level of the foot to make the connection with the sidecar brake. There is an element which holds two rods and I lost this element so I’m going to order it

I have a part that holds one of the crossbars which also broke so you have to know the sidecar there is the motorcycle there and the sidecar here so it is held at the level of the chassis at the bottom and there are two

Crossbars that hold, I don’t want to say its balance, but hold it to prevent it from moving too much like that so the base of the bar was broken so I ordered this part J I marked everything. I have everything on my left, that’s why I look to the

Left from time to time. I also ordered a complete mudguard for the basket wheel because it was damaged by vibrations and an impact against a tuk-tuk so that literally finished it because of the vibrations and as it was not not mounted on a block so it had a tendency

To split in the middle. I welded it three times in total but it repeats and well there it blew following the impact with the tuk-tuk and this shock also broke the front plastics of the indicator and the pilot light.

I am also going to order a new cardan shaft for the two-wheel drive, it is true that I have just changed it but unfortunately the cardan shaft for the second drive wheel on the axle side, therefore on the rear wheel side of the motorcycle, is held by two M8 bolts and apparently these

Two M8 bolts came out I didn’t see and the part worked around the main job and it ate the whole inside of the gimbal so I recommended one. I also ordered spokes… Hey! It feels ok and yeah ah well hold a thumbs up. Go ahead and give it a thumbs up.

I’m discovering it at the same time as you. This is the first time I’ve filmed myself with my Apple, my Macbook so I lost these two screws which subsequently broke the gimbal and without my two-wheel drive well I can’t continue driving on extreme roads so I had to leave the reliefs.

I had to leave the llamas to find a town, to find a garage, to find a place to put the sidecar while I ordered these parts and that allows me to advance the videos, it allows me to do this video uh that’s good it’s going to progress

I’ll take it in stride, it’s part of the journey. I’m not excited at all, upset. I managed to negotiate the price of my hotel room well. It’s very hot here. The town Chimbote is not super beautiful, however I am facing the sea facing the islands and there are lots of fishing boats

Which are magnificent. I’ll send you some pictures so you can see where I am. On the other hand, the city is ugly, noisy, all the taxis are honking, it’s super annoying, finally here we come back to our questions. So there are some who haven’t followed everything or who are too lazy to follow

All my previous posts or my videos so I’m going to repeat a little. For regulars, it’s going to be a dress rehearsal. So “how did it all start?” so I got on my first motorcycle at 14, it was a Honda MTX 50, it looked cool because all my friends had

Mopeds and I had this motorcycle which had a volume of 125 cm3 and besides I believe it was the same frame as the 125. Then at 18 years old, I passed my 125 license then my big cube license. I had a Yamaha Ténéré 600 and I passed

The big cube license with that one. A Suzuki RF900, a twin-cylinder Aprilia RSV 1000R, that was a blast. This bike was a blast. It was just missing 40 horsepower but frankly its behavior like that twin cylinder that pulls on the arms, a great noise, a superb face with

Carbon pieces, the swinging arm with the Italian welds frankly it was magnificent and then Honda CBR 1000 RR well to do the Bol d’Or. I also had a Honda Integra 700 scooter for a very long time so for me it is the best scooter of its generation

Big potato, silent, low consumption. I think I was running at 4 liters or less than 4 liters or less liters at 100 sending all the time and it’s a scooter that goes up to 190 km/h and then my two sidecars so the first one is a 2017 model and the 2022 model

So why a Ural sidecar? The idea of ​​traveling with my two daughters was the trigger with three seats, a driver, a motorcycle passenger behind and a passenger in the basket the possibility of loading things in the trunk and on the spare wheel

With a reverse gear and a second driving wheel, the Ural was the machine for the situation, rolling like a motorcycle with my two loves, hair in the wind, that was great. Right away, I noticed that the people I met on the road were very intrigued by the machine and many loved it;

It’s a machine that triggers the zygomatic muscles. My paycheck was those thousands of smiles and thumbs up. Here, let’s pick it up. That’s thumbs up. Give it a thumbs up guys. I discovered this thing and therefore my salary from these thousands of smiles and thumbs-up that we triggered among young people

And elders. And all these positive reactions are the same in all countries, it’s really great. So I was asked the question how people behave abroad with this vehicle so it’s not very well known already uh in Europe but then it is even less known on

The American continent. So everyone loves it either they are intrigued they don’t know or they are connoisseurs and then well I have the right to lots of questions and it’s super nice. Then, I came across the site of Hubert KRIEGEL, I note the name here, who toured the world in an Ural sidecar

From 2004 to 2018. So to my knowledge it was the first except that he started with a BMW motorcycle mounted with the Ural basket and subsequently he rode 100% Ural and then I have always done endurance or extreme sports each time I pushed my limits

Being in the hard triggers at home a satisfaction that does me a great deal of good 11 years of rugby, free fall, scuba diving, marathon, triathlon, military pentathlon, trap shooting, shooting at 300 m with the Fass 57 and the Fass 90 so it’s Swiss army weapons

Point weapon shooting with Glock, SIG, MP5, two Dakar rallies and two Bol d’Or. I finished ranked a Dakar and a Bol d’Or in the same year in 2009. A real little Swiss army knife. But the Dakar is tough. I think it’s the toughest thing I’ve done. I crossed the Alps

In winter from Geneva in Switzerland to Austria backpacking I walked 2000 km backpacking in 63 days from Geneva to Santiago de Compostela so you understand that I like effort and surpassing oneself. It was decided that a world tour aboard my Russian machine

Would soon be the challenge like my mentor Hubert Kriegel, so I did not hesitate. To do so, I had to change my life. We ask the question: how did you do it? So, I changed my life completely. I stopped working. I got rid of all my possessions so I

Sold my apartment, my car… basically everything I had. I stopped working and the money from the sale will normally allow me to travel around the world. I estimate about 10 years of travel on my own funds. I hope to double the stake in another 10 years but it depends

On YouTube revenue. For the moment the income is very modest, around 40 francs per month for a minimum of 8 days of editing and 4 videos per month. I think it’s the worst job with the

Worst income I’ve had. But after 10 years I hope I can make a living from it. The day I run out of resources, no problem, I’ll go back to work. Work is not a problem but I prefer to ride this I assure you. Hubert explained it this way: either you work 10 years

Until retirement and you will end up poor in the sense of not being rich, or you sell everything and you can travel for 10 years and you will end up poor. Between the two, I prefer to travel for the same result.

At the beginning, I wanted to ride on Swiss plates but in Switzerland we have the obligation to pay our health insurance. Her name is Lamal. Unlike France, we do not have social security. This insurance cost me 500 Swiss francs

Per month so it’s roughly the same in dollars or 6000 francs per year oh yeah it’s a budget. A burden I could not bear. I requested an exemption from the Swiss authorities given that I had worldwide coverage via AVI insurance but it was refused. So I domiciled in France and that’s why

I drive with a French registration, so that allows me to save 6,000 francs per year. To travel on the handlebars of my Russian machine or a motorcycle, you need a passport, a registration document, a driving license, an international driving license. You should know that it is

Valid for 3 years. It must be renewed. Mandatory in some countries. Well, so far I’ve only been asked once. World insurance for hospitalization and repatriation costs in case of emergency for Europe well the green insurance card is enough but for the rest

Of the world the green card does not work so you have to buy your insurance civil liability at the border in most Central and South American countries. So, for the USA and Canada you must acquire insurance in advance via an agency found on the internet,

I’ll let you look for it. Google insurance et cetera. I did like that with Mag and we found it. Well, you have to call two or three agencies but we found one in the United States. Be careful, I warn you, it is very expensive, like $1,500

For 6 months. For South American countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay you have a single insurance policy that covers these countries. It’s called Mercosur, it’s displayed here. For Brazil and Ecuador there is no civil liability insurance so they don’t ask you anything. Basically it’s at your own risk.

For Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam and all Central American countries it is purchased at the border. For French Guiana, the European card is therefore sufficient for the French. For Brazil and Ecuador, there is no compulsory civil liability insurance. To my knowledge I was asked the question there is no theft and

Material damage insurance covering your vehicle outside of Europe if you come from Europe so uh unless you find uh insurance with Rothschild which will cost you as much as your vehicle There is none so it’s for your apple so obviously if you get into it

It’s the other’s insurance which will have to cover it. Well, given the state of the cars here I don’t know how they will reimburse if your vehicle is expensive. So you also need a passport for certain countries, so I’ll let you type in Google passport to

Find out what it’s for, so far I haven’t needed it, it’s really certain countries that require it. but for the moment Europe, Eastern Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Cyprus, Greece and for the moment the American continent of what I did they did not ask for it and

I don’t think I’ll need it all the way south. You also need a vaccination card so in total I have had 11 vaccinations. I can go everywhere. I’m stung all over. I had no problem. I am not anti-vax. I’m doing very well. Vaccination card is mandatory for some

Countries so far only Suriname customs checked it for me to check if I was vaccinated against yellow fever. So, I don’t know if it’s for Suriname from memory or if it’s because I was going to return to French Guiana but in any case it’s better to have it

A credit/debit card via a bank online whose fees are very low or even zero. I advise you to have two. Generally a MasterCard and then a Visa because depending on the place it doesn’t work. I also have my traditional bank card. I have my Samsung Android phone

I have two Gopro Hero 10 cameras. I have my Mavic 3 drone and I have my laptop it’s an Apple MacBook and its Final Cut software. To make videos and I have external hard drives So external hard drives, I have that because I already have a lot of memory

But I work exclusively with external hard drives so we plug them into the computer that avoids whether it is the computer disk that is working and it allows you to save memory and speed when you make video. That’s what I read but apparently it works

So my personal affairs, here I’ll detail it for you eh I did my job well I have jeans. I have water-repellent technical pants, so mountain pants style, three pairs of socks, five boxers, a swimsuit and a beach towel, five t-shirts, a sweatshirt, a sweater

, a windproof and waterproof jacket. So that’s the red one. I ride with it sometimes. I advise you to do that, you shouldn’t skimp on quality. A pair of mountain shoes that I ride in and grease often. It’s leather it’s important eh ah my feet

There I think that with the head and the hands it’s what’s most important. A pair of flip-flops well yeah eh when you’re finished even if it’s cold when you’re in a building in flip-flops to let your feet breathe it’s great. A pair of sneakers if my mountain shoes ever

Get wet so I don’t want to wear flip flops to cross the street in the middle of winter to go to a restaurant For winter stuff, you have a link that appears here on my video that I made and which explains all my winter equipment I am not going to go over it

I have a toiletry bag with the minimum so I have a beard trimmer, a razor, a soap, a shaving brush, a brush teeth and toothpaste, shower gel Weight is the enemy! You will understand as you carry around your bag. Weight is the enemy! So the superfluous is simple when you take something

And you say that it will perhaps be useful to me and well you don’t need it. So ask yourself the question. Preparing the sidecar. So there always weight is the enemy. So soon

I will be making a special video on what to do or not to do on a Ural for a world tour or a big trip so I’m not going to go into it there but I’m still going to tell you

Roughly I I secured the basket cover to prevent opportunity theft using a cable and a padlock . It’s just because the original tonneau and basket covers are on elastic. There are just hooks and you pull the elastic so if you’re talking in

Customs for 20 minutes and someone just takes the elastic off, reaches in and pulls out something that belongs to you, well I call it theft of opportunity while with the cable he must already have a hacksaw, a cutting pliers My lord, it’s already not too discreet

I added sand removal plates in case I really get stuck So if ever with the two-wheel drive, there is really the sand is really too soft I can still put plates, heated handles with hand guards by stone and I have

Installed USB and 12 V sockets on my dashboard as well as a button to activate the warnings. This system does not exist on the original Ural model and it is very practical for safety in the event of a problem. I had a problem once in a tunnel in France, there was no

Escape route. There were two lanes and I almost got hit by a truck that was overtaking another. I almost got hit because I didn’t have a turn signal, well yes I just had a turn signal

But the guy doesn’t know if I go to the right or to the left while there are the four lights flashing. This is one of the very important things to put on a Ural. A substantial tool kit is supplied as standard in the trunk of the sidecar so I added a few tools

Such as spanners, ratchet sockets, hammer, small hacksaw. In short, everything to dismantle my tank Regarding spare parts, I have with me all the consumables such as brake pads. That is to say everything that wears out. Brake pad, oil filter, air filter drain

Plug gaskets, clutch cable which tends to break at the lever and accelerator cable, fuel filter, wheel bearings, wheel spokes with their heads , a new shock absorber if one of the five ever breaks because there are five. There are two on the front of the bike,

Two on the rear and then one on the side wheel, a seal kit so engine seal. There are several, spare spark plugs I have. different oils to top up so engine gearbox and bridge grease so take waterproof grease and loctite

Well I still have lots of little tips but I’m not going to mention them scotch style and cetera So the Ural brand recommends an engine oil change every 5000 km and for the gearbox and the axle every 10,000, for safety I do the three oil changes every 5000 at the same time

So, I was asked the question cash or bank card well both as a general rule you must always have cash on you the currency of the country of course but get into the habit of having American dollars especially on the American continent I

Always pay with my card without costs to avoid spending my time in ATMs but there are countries like Cuba or Venezuela where it is obligatory to have all cash on you because the ATMs are broken or it is impossible to obtain

From from the banks American dollars that was horror so before entering Cuba or Venezuela come and load in dollars because it is extremely difficult if not impossible to withdraw dollars there. In Cuba you have ATMs but local currency and in Venezuela if you can withdraw, you withdraw like 20 balls per day but

99.99% of the ATMs I saw were out of service I was asked to tell a typical day so the daily management so I get up and generally have breakfast with only black coffee then I ride between

8 and 10 a.m. with a stopover town that I chose the same morning according to my desires and the difficulties to cross. The more difficult it is, the more I like it. Obviously, you’re starting to know me

To answer you nothing is planned in advance because I don’t have time to study the maps and make GPX points or recover them. I’m going as simple as possible. In any case, it is

Rare that I end up at my chosen stage in life. I have the freedom to stop before or after according to my pace and my desires. This is why I never book in advance. I don’t want to be obliged or force myself to do anything. I obey only one rule, management.

At the moment it’s all south and then by talking with the locals, I often deviate because they show me the paths I’m looking for and I don’t know the region so it’s good to chat ah but try this path . He is not bad. So finally instead of going straight ahead,

I do it like this. I drink water during the day or cold coconut milk if I have it. I find it’s the drink so frankly it’s the super thirst-quenching drink when it’s hot

I’ve gotten into the habit of only eating in the evening. I don’t eat at midday because otherwise I get back on the handlebars because of digestion and well, I tend to fall asleep and that’s not good. My body has gotten used to it. I have a model’s size now look perfect

Late in the afternoon, when I found my accommodation. I sit down, open a beer and write my Facebook post it takes me about 1 hour everything depends on the number of beers obviously then I eat and sleep To find accommodation well either I pass by by chance or I

Select it via Google Maps I generally look for an establishment with closed parking and restaurant if in addition there is a spa and massage well I don’t want to say no In South and Central America, you have to count around between 10 and 30 francs per night

With breakfast so I speak in Swiss franc. It’s about the same in dollars. Gasoline costs on average 1 franc per liter, 50 cents in Venezuela. Venezuela isn’t bad , so a lot of people say it’s hard to find it. I’ve never

Had a problem. You just have to ask. There are a lot of closed gas stations but just ask people to show you and what’s great is that as you are on wheels or three wheels you have priority so if there is a queue car we drive past

The accommodation always so in winter it is obviously in a hotel it is clear that at minus 25 we are not going to sleep outside. Or with people who invite me and I have often been invited so when the weather is better and depending on the location

I have everything I need to sleep outside so I have a hammock I have a tent mattress pillow sleeping bag stove to make myself food, anyway, I have the little kit to do that outside The means of communication so as I said above I have

My phone so a Samsung with its SIM card from my supplier I communicate and it only used with wifi uh otherwise to use Google Map while driving when I’m looking for a specific location it’s with the data I have a lot of data per month so that’s

Clear that I would really like this satellite antenna there sold by Musk to send my films from places where there is no or very little wifi but it’s expensive and then not only is it expensive to buy but we also have a subscription which

Is quite expensive and then with the means that I have monthly I can’t afford it and then it seems that the waiting list is long and that we pay in advance and we are not sure of getting one

So how am I physically so I’m in great shape I must have lost 7 kg with my current one meal a day diet and I’ve lost a lot of muscle due to the fact that I’m always sitting in my saddle I should be exercising but I I don’t have the time

And I’m lazy when I get better at video editing because I’m wasting time there. I’m thinking of getting started but I have a book to write for those who asked me yes yes then question about the sidecar. In total on my sidecars, I have driven more than 106,000 km

50,000 with my 2017 model including 35,000 on a world tour and 56,000 with my 2022 model So this one the kilometers are exclusively dedicated around the world Why did I change my 2017 for a 2022? Because its injection system via the ECUs, so it’s a motherboard that calculates, was disastrous and because

I wanted to have the same model as Mag who accompanied me from Canada to Costa Rica. So we talked about Mag so I was asked the question: why is Mag no longer with you? Because we didn’t have the same way of driving,

She had to force herself to follow me and I had to wait for her so that we could stay together. It wasn’t obvious in Canada and the USA because they are only lines straight so easy but as soon as we attacked Mexico with more technical steeper paths

Yeah, more technical, it was no longer a pleasure for Mag and then neither for one nor the other. Will I one day continue to ride two-up? So I don’t think I started alone and I think I’ll end up alone. It’s not selfishness but my

Driving style and the path I follow push me to ride alone to take full advantage of it when I want to attack when I want to stop anyway. So there you have it, I I may have gotten old but as my friend Jim says so well:

When I want to fart in my car, I don’t want them to break. Well done Jim Autonomy? For my 2017 model I was averaging 7 liters per 100 km, 7-8 liters per 100 km and with my 2022 model I was averaging 5.5 liters per 100 km with my motorcycle tank

So it is 19 liters. I drive between 330 and 360 km. By adding my original 10 liter jeyrrican I ensure a total of 500 km and I also have a special bag to put gasoline so

I no longer know if it is 10 L or 15 L but I believe that It’s 15 L and it gives me, with the other two, a range of more than 800 km, so I have peace of mind. In winter, you have to double

Consumption with temperatures below minus 20°, i.e. almost 10 L per 100 km yeah that’s not bad Driving at altitude? So from 2500 m altitude we experience a slight drop in power which is negligible on the flat from 3500 m it becomes difficult on

Steep climbs. You should remember to take breaks to let the engine cool down because it tends to strain a little. My objective, so that’s a little info My objective is to reach an altitude of 6,100 m with my sidecar. It’s a personal challenge

That I would like to overcome and I have found a way to get there. Now knowing if I will succeed I don’t know but it will be the subject of a superb video, I promise you. Problems? I was asked the question: problems with customs or local police?

So, to date no problem with customs and the police I would like to point out that I have had no problem with personal security in the 54 countries crossed nor any feeling of insecurity that comes because well the people are great cool frankly I think

I will ask myself more questions about crossing Marseille and its northern districts and then Paris in Seine-Saint-Denis than crossing Honduras and El Salvador no problem people all super nice Afterwards I have three rules. Avoid driving at night. So it’s not that I’m afraid of

Driving at night but if you have a mechanical problem it’s always more complicated to find help. Don’t stay in big cities. So I cross them but I don’t stay because that’s where we find delinquency, crime, theft, pollution, cars, finally everything that is negative and don’t go

To bars at night without being invited. or accompanied by a local, it’s not that I’m afraid but I don’t want to fight with drunks who are looking for problems for the little Swiss How do I secure my sidecar at night? So, as mentioned at the beginning I always find

A place with secure parking and then as I don’t stay in big cities uh I have no problem with crime and I promise you that in the mountains in the villages or the deserts there is no problem. There are no thief in villages

Of 100,200 inhabitants and I think that if they catch him, he ends up buried and we don’t talk about it anymore no people are great a lot of false ideas so he can have problems but we need to stop traumatizing ourselves with this. The trip taught me well already I’m

Not a very worried person uh I don’t worry too much uh great confidence but there’s no worries afterwards uh the smile, the smile, the banana, the smile, hello, the hand, hand salute and that works So there, a big subject. Someone asked me for the list of breakdowns so I had already

Done that in a previous video with Mag but now it got a little longer ah so it’s okay for my 2017 model so I have an ECU which took on water therefore the motherboard because there is a hole like that and

Then it was at the level of the cylinders. You piss on it the thing explodes, an engine tightening so big question for me it’s an oil pump fault which was known at Ural but no one

Wants to admit it. Two clutch cables broken at the level of the lever so just at the level of the lever where we hook the cable. It tends to split and that’s specific to Ural and I don’t understand why over time, they haven’t solved the problem. A basket wheel bearing

That I also broke in Eastern countries finally broke and then it made a lot of noise, broken wheel spokes also due to an original rim defect of the time. I was told yeah you drive like a pig and so on. And no, when I took it to

The dealership, the dealer showed me the beginnings of cracks in the rims of this 2017 model and it was known at Ural. So much for my 2022 model. So, I blame Ural for one thing, well, no. There was only one breakage due to Ural contrary to what everyone believes uh

Following me yeah it’s Ural it’s shit no there was only one problem it was when the silk of my crankshaft broke it’s a problem of molding, pouring of material There must have been an air bubble or an impurity which got there at this height and then by forcing

Well it exploded . It can happen but no worries. Ural took care of everything given that there is 2 years of warranty and I was within the warranty and thanks to Ural and the Cross Road dealer in Canada, everything was resolved in 2 days. Great, almost as fast as a flat wheel.

So on the other hand I blame what is inherent in the preparation, whether it is the preparation or the finishing of the bike. I wasn’t there, I can’t know, so I had electrical problems that lasted for a long time in Canada and these electrical problems

Caused me to blow fuses as they were intermittent breakdowns, so sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t it’s very hard to find. Finally, it was two electrical wires that were cut and plugged before I took the vehicle in person, therefore before

I even took this vehicle. For what ? Because when we discovered the faults, two wires which have nothing to do with each other in two different places were repaired and taped so this repair did not last and I think that over time the vibrations and many times that

Sometimes it didn’t touch and that’s what created my electrical outages which dragged me out for a long time . So I’m not accusing anyone but it wasn’t me because I’ve never cut a wire. I’ve never repaired a wire so it came from before. Over time, these repairs, which I was not

Aware of, failed, which had the effect of causing me to blow fuses and have engine shutdowns and faults on the left ignition coil. I had the thread of the two pig nose attachments so my windshield is attached to the headlight uh by two bolts and the thread in

The headlight where these two bolts will go the sheet metal is much too thin, the thread is much too thin so it’s clear I often assembled disassembled and well that the threading broke after a while so I solved that by welding two bolts inside and that way no more

Threading problem, the bolts they are thick it’s solid it’s steel. It’s not tinplate The vibration problem on the basket wheel mudguard then the vibration problems on the basket wheel mudguard. So because of these vibrations which have not been damped via silent blocks, it is rubber parts which

When it vibrates and well instead of hitting the screw and the nut it hits it is damped by a rubber so because of that it tends to break in two at its highest part and externally it tends to break so I welded it I don’t know two or three times but

Where I decided to stop repairing it was when I hit a tuk-tuk so I I hit a tuk-tuk from behind directly on the mudguard so it blew the last welds, it broke the plastics of the front indicator and then the white plastic of the pilot light

So I decided to change entirely. I had to change the bridge seal which had broken. I had 11 spokes on the same wheel defective, five of which were broken. I reinforced with a bar the bottom of the trunk which tends to sag so not inside the trunk but

Underneath on the outside so we put a bar to reinforce that because the bottom tends to sag. sagging this is a known problem at Ural. I don’t know why they didn’t fix that. I had two punctures in 100,000 km, two or three. I had one but it wasn’t

Directly due to my tire. It’s because I took a second-hand road tire in Turkey. I hadn’t found a Heidenau tire and it quickly wore out and then when it came to the metal of the tire it frayed

And the metal punctured the inner tube. I lost one screw out of the two of the anti-handlebar attachment system . I had a problem with the rear brake shoe piston getting stuck. A stiff battery damaged because there was no battery water left. A

Defective left anti-interference cable and then also a valve core which was defective so I was losing air Problem of fixing the electrical wires in the rear light of the motorcycle therefore the rear light the red light. Inside there is a whole mic mac of wires but it looks like prehistory

It’s very small screws held in small wires, small terminals at the slightest vibration it comes out or I even have the support which melted because of ‘a bulb no but that’s not serious I had these problems so finally well I removed the whole handbrake system too which

Is useless and which was bothering me to remove the rear wheel of the bike so the handbrake is good when you have everything adjusted correctly and so on but after three uses, it loosens.

You have to tighten it and then if you forget it, it damages the plate. The engine is so powerful that you still move forward so I removed everything so I remove my rear wheel much more quickly The tires. I ride Heidenau K37s so they are German tires. For me it is

The best tire for the type of road I do. The rear lasts at least 7000 km and the other two, the front and the basket, around 25,000 km. I tested the K28 Heidenau which has a slightly more road profile because the K37 has crampons. The K28 Heidenau well

With my driving and the terrain I practice, it only lasts 5000 km. It tends to slide in the turns so I find it funny but hey we don’t do many kilometers. I also tested the Mitas which is a Czech tire so it is very soft, it makes noise

From 70 km/h. You know a bit like quads with their tires there it feels And it really gives the impression of being mounted on marshmallows what it feels like uh I haven’t yet been able to test its longevity so on the Mitas because following the broken spokes I put the

Complete wheel in place of the spare wheel. I will keep you informed when I have finished testing it. My next destinations? So that interests everyone. It’s crazy so they tell me other continents, when will the African continent, Madagascar, well you’ll see it, I don’t

Even know where I’ll be in 3 days so uh I have a little idea but I’m getting ahead of myself you won’t see it will be suspense. Well, anyway I’m going on a world tour so theoretically I’m going

To do all the continents and if possible all the countries as long as they are accessible so there are a lot of countries which are islands which are in the middle of the ocean. It’s clear, I can’t

Go there to ride 10 km uh because it costs a lot to bring the sidecar but until then There are others. We’ll see. Maybe in 20 years when I will be a multimillionaire with Youtube Explain the colors of the Rio Negro and the Amazon. So that’s

Okay I’m going to answer it I’m nice but there are a lot of questions please Google you type that into Google it explains it better but I’m still going to answer you because I filmed it at length I have it so seeing the Amazon it comes out it is a

Little white yellow brown because of the silt so the silt is the particles of earth and organic debris so it is of this color and when it crosses the Rio Negro so it bears its name Black Rio so the water of the Rio Negro is tinted black because of humic acids so

What is humic acid it is a decomposition of plant matter so you should know that the Amazon so it comes from the mountains so we can understand which drains a lot of land while the Rio Negro or the tributaries of the Amazon generally in any case at the level

Of the Amazonian forest and well it is the decomposition of the trees and that is why it tends to being black and the contrast is obvious when you are above So, I am asked the question: writing a book soon? So yes. I’ve decided to write it

But I think it’s going to take me some time uh ideally I imagine I’ll stop at a beach rent a cabin and then write for a month or two at that location.

That would be ideal but there for one or two months. You won’t have any more news. Up to you. Do you prefer the book or prefer that I continue for 2 months? People talk to me about conferences, reports. So hey,

I’m a little joker. My name is not Mike Horn yet. Conference, yeah well it’s being prepared. We need text. You need image. Now, where in France? In French-speaking countries? I want to speak in Spanish or English but I can’t hold a conference or

With very simple words. So the book is good. It’s in progress, I’ve already written the title Can you take photos of the natives on motorbikes? So the person who asked me this question look at my posts look at my photos I take a lot of them in

Cuba I took a lot of them. So what interests me is the three legs or the motorcycles which are out of the ordinary but otherwise yeah you have to look at my posts Have I ever tasted the coca leaf? No not yet. I would like to but I haven’t had the chance.

People ask me about altitude sickness. So I know that a little bit because I found out a lot about it during my 2009 Dakar which was in Argentina Buenos Aires we crossed the Andes up to an altitude of 4800 m to go to Chile then we came back So

Altitude sickness is either born to you or you don’t. We can’t train, there’s nothing to do , the only advice is to climb slowly in increments of 1000 m and then if things go badly, you have to go back down, acclimatize and go back up. Otherwise you can also help yourself with oxygen.

As far as I am concerned, until now I have climbed to the highest in memory up to 4400 m no problem so when I used the shovel, I was at 4000 or even slightly more when I used the shovel to recreate the path which had been destroyed by a river yeah

You blow a little you blow a little but it’s not like I was at the top of Everest Well it’s not me who suffers it’s the sidecar . I’m always sitting on the sidecar so the day I have to run 100 m I think I’ll run out of steam

Yes! When I walked, you will see it in Peru, I walked for a little while at altitude to see tombs on the side of cliffs, vaults. Without training, it’s like everything, so it’s been 2 years and 2 months that I’ve been doing absolutely nothing.

They also talk to me about managing downtime away from the family. So, well, the big advantage is that we have telephones so we stay in touch and I’m asked who comes to see me and where,

And well, my daughters come to see me. The big one has already come and then it’s still planned They will join me. There’s no problem with that. Equipment ah yes then drone equipment its management and its regulations so me personally I am delighted delighted with my Mavic 3 drone it is super easy

To use frankly a 10 year old kid he could use it super long battery life I have three of batteries and then each battery lasts 30 minutes in any case sure they announce 40 but sure 30 minutes. It flies without problem in strong winds and especially in – 40. That’s a big advantage

Because my GoPros at – 20 25 while driving so you have to add more or less to go down another 10 15° degrees so they stopped after a few seconds. So for the regulations, you have to

Adapt to the regulations and laws of the countries you pass through, so it’s up to you to find out. I took an online exam for the United States because you shouldn’t mess around with them . For the others, I didn’t really find out but hey, it’s up to you to find out

. I didn’t really find out because I respect. There are very simple principles at the drone level. So I took the test in France. So the regulations are more or less the same all over the world. Afterwards, you have to fly intelligently. Don’t fly over a crowd

Don’t fly within 5 km of an airport, that seems logical to me too. Do not film where emergency services are working such as firefighters or a traffic accident or fire. Do not disturb wildlife so do not go within 2 cm of wild animals. So for me,

I have a big advantage over my drone, I have a bother them Penultimate question. Am I homesick? So yes and no. I did a lot of mental preparation before leaving so there are no worries about that. Obviously, I miss family, friends. But there too I have regular contact.

What I miss most is cheese. French cheese, Swiss fondue I miss that a lot, red wine because everything that was Central America South America for the moment I haven’t yet done Chile or Argentina. So their red wine

When they have it, it’s sweet well so that’s not the same uh yeah I miss that The baguette, the baguette, the country bread. Here, they have everything in soft bread which uh sandwich bread style Last question. So I couldn’t classify it with the others. How do you manage corrugated metal?

So, if there is only corrugated metal, if you are at low speed below 60 to 50 km/h, you will frankly absorb all the shocks and then you will do it like that . The technique is that you have to drive at 60 minimum. That’s my technique.

The suspensions will work but you are not going to suffer so 60 years later the problem is that most of the roads I took there was corrugated iron but there were also huecos, holes like that , pigeon nests, so you have to be very careful.

I was also asked a question: when is there a live performance? So the problem with live is the time zone. It’s clear that if I do it late in the evening local American time and well that’s going

To be a big difference for you we have 6 hours so when it’s noon here in America uh it’s is 6 p.m. in Paris Live yeah and when it works and then you need good wifi, you need a place where

There isn’t a lot of noise. I want to try but here it is. I found it easier to do it like this. Thank you again 1000 times for your questions. Don’t forget to give a thumbs up and share my videos with friends. That makes me really happy.

There are more than 7000 of you, I think 7400, on my Facebook page, thank you very much for your following. However, what I don’t understand is that you are not all on my YouTube channel. I have more than 4000

From memory, 4100, if I’m not mistaken 4100 on my Youtube channel so if you forgot, well, go ahead and tap the button to subscribe to follow. That way you’re aware You receive a notification when a video comes out because I’m thinking about it at the moment

On Facebook when a video comes out I announce it to you but I think that depending on certain days, I will forget. Then those who are waiting for that, you will miss it So I can only advise you to watch my videos it will help me finance my trip

So yes, there are a lot of people who have talked to me about budget, of financing so I I answered. I sold everything now I know that I will be able to tour for 10 years. On the other hand, what costs the most is changing continents, having the sidecar sent.

That’s what costs me the most expensive is my biggest item. Afterwards it’s the tires, the tires are quite expensive. Normally in Europe my tire, I find them for 120 € if I’m not mistaken uh while the few that I found on the continent at least

In the North, United States Mexico, I found some in Colombia it was the K not my K37 the K28. I found them for 200 dollars, that’s about 200 Swiss francs. So these are expensive positions. Then after the breakages, well when

It’s breakages like the crankshaft well it was covered by the warranty that’s great but when I have to change the cardan shaft for the two-wheel drive, then you cry too. So this is it ! Come on, I’ll leave you.

Thank you for your support. Keep watching, it really motivates me to make these videos. I had a blast. I had a lot of trouble with this loss of files but here we got there

I managed to save the images because it would have been a real shame not to be able to see what I did what? I spent almost 3 weeks on the Amazon River and the Rio Napo. It was magnificent.

There you go! Come on, I’ll leave you. Ciao. Thank you little wolves. Thumbs up, give thumbs up, put the comments. Don’t forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel. Gorgeous. See you next time ! A BIG THANK YOU TO MY PATREONES AND TO YOU FOLLOWERS

Au guidon de mon side-car Ural depuis le 1er décembre 2021, je parcours le monde pour rouler dans un maximum de pays.

Après l’Europe du Nord, de l’Est et l’Asie Mineure, je suis actuellement sur le continent américain que je traverse du nord au sud.

Mes vidéos rapportent ces moments de mon voyage : roulage, contrées traversées, personnes rencontrées, défis passés et pannes surmontées…

C’est le voyage d’une vie sans date de retour !
