Well quite. Just don't ask me to pronounce it until you demonstrate. πŸ˜€

My bikes have mostly been sit ups. 1982 Z250 when I was in my 20s. Returning to riding, I had a 1994 Virago 250, 2007 Honda Shadow, and now the 2021 Himalayan 411.

I like my comfort. :)

I hope so too, mate.

Damn. I *am* free this Saturday, Sam, but not terribly near East Sussex. Still, one tick out of two. πŸ˜€

That's a great shot. Looking forward to riding Poland. Long as I can negotiate the regular close proximity of consonants. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡±

Never really got into sportsbikes. To me they always looked like a huge pain in the back. But I have friends who ride them and love them. Guess I'm a lazy cuss who likes their comfort. The epitome of an overlander? πŸ€ͺ

Ha. That's a great story, mate. A love story for the ages as they say.

And I reckon girl's pretty good too. 😍

Probs about the same as the other 650s I reckon.

You know. If I was considering a second bike, or a replacement for Billie, this'd be it. Once it made it to Oz.

I love these books that map out an area. Friend of my wife gave me three about Romania. That I also have to ride. So many countries and a finite existence.

Oof! Exciting times. Hope everything works out. 😍

Must be something in the water in Europe. My amazing rider friend Jay has just started seeing an English-Hungarian academic. ❀️❀️❀️

One of the places I'd like to ride. My grandmother was from Glasgow and Ewan bangs on about it in the Long Way videos. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Man, tell me about it. I just turned 59 and it seems equally a couple of months and a thousand years since I was turning 30. We get too busy to really live life, you know?

Hey, good luck with getting it back on the road. Awesome that you've hung onto it. πŸ˜€

Flooded streets behind us. Sigiriya somewhere ahead. Rain, wrong turns, a police stop, gear that quit on us β€” and somehow we're grinning the whole way. That's motorcycle travel in Sri Lanka. 🏍️🌧️

That's a douche move. Also illegal here. Though rather hard to prove.

I worked on cruise ships for a while and Mexico was one of my favourite ports. Spent six months doing LA-Ensenada.

Trouble is, cruise travel is fast travel and I always wanted to go back and do it slow. As I've said to you before, I'll get there. :)

5 epic biking roads you don’t need a passport to ride When we dream about riding epic roads, it’s often the likes of the Alps, the Pyrenees, or the fjords of Norway that spring to mind. But the truth is you don’t need to cross the Channel to experience a...

Some of these sound pretty spesh for an Antipodean. Glen Coe in particular.

Couple of awesome screencaps of Dalma from this week's video. Caught in the rain between Anuradhapura and Dambulla.

I'm very lucky. ❀️
