Jerzy Woking Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Also like Royal Jordanian on YouTube. Not so much for the on board footage (although I know the roads he rides through West and Central London). Stick you headphones on, turn up the volume and just listen to the noise of his Husqvarna Nuda going up through the gears. Would view his riding as as a bit antisocial if he rode through my village like that, but through London, it's great. stereotype 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few that have paid lots of money for a "more comfortable" seat that proved to be worse on a long run than what they replaced. People don't believe me, but my KTM RC8 had one of the most comfortable seats I have ever had for long distance days. It may have been very thin but it was the right width and length. Rode to and over the Grossglockner a couple of years ago on route to meet some mates in Slovakia with not comfort issues at all. yeah but col your handbag on the seat doesnt count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas4545 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Youtube round the world trips are helping my sanity, On her Bike is good , following the antics of a slightly uptight lass circling the world with a bmw and a tiny tent. Itchy Boots is better, a few hundred vids of very good content, she has a knack of making you feel that you are on the ride with her and loving every minute. Collapsing at a 5000 metre high border from cold and lack of oxygen and she is still smiling. An infectious personality and a royal enfield bought in India. Then there is the completely wacky C90 adventures. Also worth a look. MZ Ts250, bantam, yam 50, 250 yds7, nc700, Vn900, Versys, FLHS, VFRx 800.

Jerzy Woking Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Itchy Boots is great as first series she rode from India to Netherlands, intending to then ride the bike from Patagonia to Alaska. Watch as the story unfolds.... Not too keen on "On Her Bike", stopped watching sometime ago. In the episodes I watched she came across as a free loader. One of her videos has a clip where she rides past my mate sitting outside his bar in Prizren, Kosovo. I see if I can find it. Also "Riding On Eggshells" I like, as Liss put her Enfield Himalayan through so many crashes on the tracks in Australia. It also shows how Hero action cameras completely flatten out the hills. Makes it all look so easy stereotype 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it all look so easy Seems to be the way it is, people start of doing it right in the beginning then something changes and they are doing it for the clicks or it all becomes scenic filler in the video, or it's just uninteresting from a point on because they become someone they aren't for the internet. At least your mate gets a claim to fame! I'll have a look at Riding on Eggshells, anyone on a Himalayan has a chance to interest me because I want one!

Jerzy Woking Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Itchy Boots does very little riding on the road, as she prefers to use tracks wherever she can and explores loads too. She is getting better in flying her drone. Some fantastic shots achieved which really show the terrain. He is my mate Maxi sitting at a table outside his bar in Prizren If anyone goes to Prizren, let me know and I'll let my mates there know. They each own their own bars, speak good English, have loads of stories, and their beer is very, very cheap. stereotype and CreepingJesus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They_all_do_that_sir Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Another essential journey, I don't remember Tesco being so far awayThats only about 4 miles from the house too so I didn't feel like I was taking too much of the piss.

andyberg Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I do watch itchy boots too, just about the only bike one I do watch. Like I said before most are American rubbish. But itchy boots makes you feel part of the trip, she rides a himalayan, she bought her first one in India then rode it home! Videos are about 15mins long. Season 2 is a better watch in my opinion, she kind of got more of an idea what to do. Does make you realise what a beautiful world we have and generally how many people are so helpful and kind.

andyberg Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I don't think there is, she kind of explains at some point that her friend bought it as tourists are not allowed to buy a bike in India? Season 2 I think is better she goes into better detail about things. I have watched her live chats too. I think at the beginning she was sort of doing the vlogs for herself, so were only 5-10 mins long, she never expected it to take off like it has. stereotype 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warch Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 There were quite a few recreational bikers out and about where I live over the weekend. Quite frankly good for them, it's a perfectly reasonable (anti)social activity and no worse than cycling or running which I've been doing. Yes there'll be bleating about the potential for accidents taking key workers away from more important work, but pretty much no fucker has had coronavirus in my area anyway, so the hospitals are pretty much empty. I used mine to go shopping the other day, the triple sounds a bit Audi Quattro at pace. Which is nice.
