Which did I find better? E bike vs normal MTB. Paganella , Italy. 

I remember when NZ was cheap, but sadly no more. I used to work in the UK, and I felt rich coming back home. Now prices are about the same. Saying that Italy is not cheaper to travel than NZ but houses are much cheaper.

NZ is not that expensive. Come to Rotorua, Tauranga and Taupo. I'll guide you around. Ray.

Not going to Spain or Portugal on this trip but did think about it. Some good riding there.

We are avoiding all the spots like Rome, Florence, and Venice and staying in the mountains. The scenery is jaw-dropping, and the riding is great, too.

I do hope Rod is doing OK. Horrible injury. I wear my glasses to bed now. Can't be too careful.😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂

I think the E bike is a bigger work out in less time. Just spent 6 hours riding park on a steamer and feel pretty good. 6 Hours on an e bike and I would be exhausted.

Thanks a lot. Having a great trip so far.

Natrual crisp clean pure mountain water, naa needs chemicals.

Funny, you should say that as at Lake Guarda, they have had a serious Nora virus outbreak that they think has come from drinking water. Saying that my parents have a farm and I have drunk untreated water all my life.

Hoping not to need one of them.

You are correct. To be honest, I am not great with that side of things. I can't even handle strava. We did do a ride in Verona with an app and a mount for our phone but I didn't film that as it was just a street tour. Something to work on.

I went out today riding a normal bike in Italy and ended up riding with a skilled fit young kid. He was on an E bike. There certainly is the stereo type that e bikers are old, fat and unskilled but there are also many young, highly skilled riders using them also.

I should include that in a video. Just the gopro mic, but I use the foam covers. But I cut them up and use double sides tape circles to completely cover the mics. I have played around with this for years, and this is my latest solution.

@@bestdayevermtb2 Thanx mate👍I get so so result on my gopros with Mediamod on them (front mic better than back mic) and even tried rycote mini dead cats but still a messy sound experience. Best up to date is Dji mic with lavs but then i look like a cop with all the gears on my chest 🙂 Ordered two foam-covers and will give them a try. Thanx for answering👍 Fellow KTM Macina Prowler rider from Sweden

@rtiljander hope that works. Will show my set up in video at some point.

Doesn't matter where I ride. Someone always says, "Where I come from, that is a blue." To be honest, there is some truth to it, in as much as grading varies massively. People do seriously underestimate the gopro effect, though.

Same😂
