Join me on my motorcycle journey in Greece (Meteora) on a Honda CB500X filmed on two cameras (Fujifilm Xt-4 and DJI Osmo Action). I rented a motorcycle for four days in Greece to be able to visit the mountains of Central Greece (after spending a few days in Athens).
Within the voiceover, I explore the connection between motorcycles and philosophy, referencing Robert Pirsig's Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, in which Pirsig uses the motorcycle as a tool to explore his concept of Quality. I find the connection between motorcycles and philosophy fascinating. In many conversations I have with fellow motorcyclists, I always find that riders are willing to have deep conversations and view the world in a unique way. I plan on exploring this more in my future writings.

The concept of a motorcycle is irrational at best. Very unstable at slow speed. No safety features in a collision. No protection from weather. Limited ability to transport materials. A container of flammable liquid above a hot internal combustion engine. And on, and on. But an incurable addiction to many. For over 50 years I've been it's slave. It's my best friend, therapist, confidant, and much, much more. I can't imagine life without it. Godspeed to everyone.

Well said. Cheers Larry

Motorcycles are much more than just a mechanical symphony. Greece is undeniably beautiful!

Unbelievable scenery. Utterly beautiful. And it’s all about freedom of choice for me. Love your work.

I've read Robert Pirsig's book, twice, in order to fully understand it and I have to say that is one of those books that somebody has to read it, no matter what. Regarding your journey in Greece, the place you chose is, in my opinion one of the best if not the best someone could choose on his first visit in Greece. My village "Kalomoira" is quite close there so I may be a little biased, however, Thessaly and Meteora in particular is a place that provides huge divercification in pictures, smells, places to visit etc. Is also great starting point for anybody who wants to travel either further north west or north east. Your video is great man, keep on rocking and next time you visit Kalampaka - Meteora send a message or pass by my village for tsipoura and nice meze as well as in order to explore some great off road trails! Best regards man! 👍

You are the reason I bought a motorcycle 2 years ago. Thank you

Just love your videos Chris. I happened to notice how many views you get and my eyes popped, you're clearly a unique and exceptional vlogger who deserves a lot more love. Well, you have it from me here in the UK!

It's interesting how much I contemplate all sorts of things while riding my bike. Thanks for taking us along on your trip through central Greece. Such a stunning place.

Dear Chris, sorry to message you out of the blue. I bumped into your RU-vid channel some weeks ago and have been watching your videos which really strike a chord with my motorcycling philosophy as well. The quality of your videos, the writing, the narration are all top not h and your lived experience with your bonnie really comes across in the videos. I have recently got myself and motorcycle as well and have been trying to tell similar stories on my channel as well but I have some way to go still. However watching your work has been inspiring and cathartic- more power to you! All the very best from Australia and ride safe mate👍🏼👍🏼

Hi Chris, thought provoking content and nicely shot. Looks like ancient Delphi city and stadium that you visited. I went there in 2019 with the family…. Thanks for sharing..

Yes it is indeed Delphi, good catch. Thanks!
