Chasing Adventure: Conquering the Gobi Desert on Two Wheels
In the vast, unforgiving expanse of Mongolia lies the Gobi Desert, a place of breathtaking beauty and formidable challenges. In this episode of My 40 Year Old Motorcycle Cannot Handle the Gobi Desert Dunes, we follow the intrepid rider as she revives her vintage bike and sets her sights on Khongor Els—the ultimate test for any adventurer.
With towering sand dunes that shift beneath her wheels, the soft, deep sands present a formidable challenge for a heavy bike. This isn’t just about getting from point A to B; it’s a battle against the elements, where survival and determination intertwine. As she cuts across the dune field with the throttle open wide, the drama unfolds. Will her seasoned companion endure, or will the desert claim victory?
Join us on this gripping journey where every twist of the throttle is a step deeper into the heart of one of the planet’s most mesmerizing and demanding landscapes.

I am deeply puzzled why you have such an old motorcycle, I am 100% certain you can afford a modern motorcycle. It’s gotta be a reason why you’ve chosen not to do that. Something much more powerful and capable and would be much more beneficial and keep you safe
Just curious
Je bent echt zo bijzonder sterk! Fysiek maar mentaal helemaal ongelofelijk veel respect en een mega inspiratie!!
"No one has been this way in a long time, just me and the antelopes" Sometimes the locals know best, happy you made it, but you had me worried. Safe travels.
I remember going to Arizona for the first time and seeing how vast the sky is, and how far the horizon stretches. So beautiful. I could even admire it in Afghanistan between the mountains near kendahar and the desert of Pakistan. Just vast horizons and endless sky's. It really is beautiful
That was not Prius friendly…😂😂
她是不是已经和Bing先生见面了?
The only true confirmation I get whether or not itchy is OK, is if a video is actually uploaded 😂
You should use more high RPM
Don't change Frankie's name to Sandy, but check that air filter just for the heck of it, right. . . :>/
Нурали, это были не антилопы, а газели Дзерен! На Юге Сибири и в Средней Азии их называют газель Дзерен!
Как в Монголии их называют не знаю.
American happily in mexico. Hello !
🛵🧡🤘🏼👍🏼
I thought Frankie had lost all the fuel, and it wouldn't start because the tank was empty. Make sure you tighten the cap well, you can put a piece of cloth around the cap of the tank …..I don't know if you understood me. Anyway, happy that you arrived at your destination…..Mongolia, no one says it like you say it
you are pushing frankie way to far the limits,,,,
wonder woman 👋👍🔝
Am I right? I think I saw a busstop in the desert about 12:46
😊
Normally you were great in that sand dunes…I was afraid for you
Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸
Gelukkig startte Franky weer. Aanhet einde van de vorige video wilde ze niet starten. Dan denk je poepoe, midden in de woestijn, waar is de ANWB als je ze nodig bent.
Don't feel bad about your 40 year old motorcycle. Any off-road vehicle will struggle in sand dunes unless setup for them and no extra weight. I used to ride a 1980 kx500 on the st. Anthony sand dunes in Idaho USA and it was not easy. My experience is on a motorcycle when you get over 300 lbs including rider you will need special tires.
Noraly a super trip 😮
BRAVO….
