During some rare downtime on shift, an idea was hatched in the Ambulance between crew mates, and you've stumbled on the result. I'm a Female Paramedic who after falling in love with Motorcycle riding am embarking as a moto traveller, with zero experience, on a trial and error search for Rest Day peace.
The middle aged crisis is real, and often results in "Where am I, Who am I, and What am I doing?" moments, so you may enjoy this stripped back, no frills, honest account where I try to learn from my mistakes. 😏
Rest Days for those in the Ambulance Service are valued, so feel free to follow as I search for peace, quiet and to recharge the batteries, while trying not to die in the process.
Even WITHOUT th opening soundtrack for the un_boxing of it, it's a thing of beauty to behold..... Then u add th music and WHAM, you've got me lathered up..... LoL. And, too..... So far as I'm concerned, there's no throttle that's TOO "snatchy".... And even if it were, I'd rather that than the opposite :) Stellar review, so much fun to watch.. Just from your review, I'm CHOMPING to try one out! We see em now n then, here in Thailand, but i had no idea how well they do.... til now :)
🎉 congrats ! I am sure .. that you are going to enjoy your new bike so much! So .. about the name! Allow me to advice you a name! It's.. MAVERICK ' 🎉 what do you think!! ? Have great rides! 😊❤
Great to speak to you at ABR today and get your opinions on 450MT, I had a phone call on the way home regarding a cancelled order so, I’m taking delivery next week 🤩
Hi Charlie. Many thanks for the video. One question: This black metal frame Roger hast right behind the windshield.... Where's it from ? I am searching one like this. Many greetings from Germany, Stefano 🙋
Yes, awful loading un/loading, anchoring set-up. Those steel mushroom-like anchor points - don't catch one under your back wheel whilst you have full lock on and are barely moving. Tipped me over.
I can't fault your excitement it's a lovely bike and a steal, without going through all and I mean all comments I'd say it's probably slightly under geared for prolonged road/touring use up a tooth on front down 3 on rear either with let it rev slightly lower at motorway speeds, but congrats it's a stunner ❤
Looks like a great place for riding, and a nice relaxing drink by the camp fire, you can’t beat a good camp fire to help you settle into a holiday ( and the beer of course 🤭)
Where you're made to park dictates how easy, or not, it is to get off the boat. You did very well from a bad spot, as you said " I didn't drop it.". Good Good. Good.
Remember in Spain indicators are an extra and if a car is emerging from a side road they will wait until your 20 meters away and roundabouts the outside lane has priority! Just saying , ride defensive all the time enjoy 🤣😂
I have two pics that were taken many years ago boarding the ferry, one on a 1200 Bandit and another on a Triumph Daytona. We had an overnight stay before boarding the ferry. The number of bikes boarding was about 20% of what now seems the norm. Got that same pic of the wake behind the ferry too. It used to be 24 hours, someone told me it is now 36?
You finished at Covadonga! Welcome to my home. I moved here in 2019 just before Covid struck. My family and I now live iin El Corralon up a mountain and love this area. We have donkeys, badgers, slow worms, frogs, 'wild cows' birds of prey, wall lizards, beetles and other creatures that regularly visit us where we live. Enjoy sharing your ride with others.. The Himalayan is the right size and power for these roads! XXXXXXX
The whole coast is a great ride but Asturias is the most beautiful region of Spain, it is stunning. Covadonga is worth a visit whilst you are there, the seaside towns too like Llanes & Ribadsella. Don't forget to stay hydrated with Sidra. 👍
Super video as ever, thanks very much. Brought back lots of memories our honeymoon 20 years ago riding a Moto Guzzi California around the Picos and Northern Spain. Such a cool place to ride in, perfect roads and mountains and eagles!
Oh boy, I could feel your malaise while turning on the wet slippery floor on the boat, and I was right there with you holding my breath. I would have freaked out all over my insides, too! 😂 How did you sleep on the boat? I hope it wasn't too rocky. Very beautiful scenery! Very funny entertainment! 😅 Thanks for sharing! Ride safe!
Great video, are you going to visit the cathedral at Santiago d'Compostela whilst in the region - more or less. Would the Portsmouth to Santander been any easier?
Excellent choice of music. Regarding language learning, I found out that learning to speak a language is much easier than trying to understand folks speaking it.
There you see, -there is no need for a bigger bike. Abigger bike is more troublesome to drive and what not. An light bike is easy to handle and maintain. Easier to hold when stopping in front of roadcrosses, you name it. I have had a lot of big bikes so I talk of experiance. Now I have light bikes. Well the Honda 750 DCT is my havyest bike. And its a bit too havy. Like your videos! 👍👍🌷🌷❤❤🌹🌹👌👌
Ah brilliant Charlie, was looking forward to your trip to the Pico’s , lot of bikers on that ferry. Was that an Austin 1300 on the road there 👍, look forward to watching the rest of your trip, cheers, Mitch 👍
