Looking good mate! I definitely think I'll let you know when I'm heading through Europe next year, to see if you want to meet up/join! Really surprised btw - you said 'have some Spanishy music', I shazam'd it, and you came up. Totally unexpected!I've just got back from Barcelona, 20 degree's during the day, at the end of November. Ice covered bike in the airport back here in the UK, 100 miles of freezing fog home. Not such an enjoyable ending!
Well, actually managed to get fully up to date today. Enjoyed the mountain road bits especially and I'm totally in agreement, mountains are great places to be!I spent a lot of the first episodes with a growing niggle of, "hang on a minute, what's the point?!" Then got to the bit where you stayed with your uncle; ahhhhh! But I can't help but think that much of the journey seemed like a bit of a chore, covering all the mileage and only stopping for fuel and to overnight. I guess you had time constraints that made this necessary, which was a shame, cos I kept thinking, "go off the beaten track, go and feckin explore somewhere, go to an interesting museum, spend a day in a historic city, what the hell are (aren't) you doing!??" But you managed to keep me watching, cos quite clearly, you are totally off your rocker The other thing I got to thinking (so now that's two thoughts, so I'll have to have a lie down) was, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a camera mounted higher up, perhaps on some kind of vertical pole, and pointing a bit sideways, to catch some of the scenery a bit more? Hmmmm, could be worth a try?Anyway, thanks for keeping me entertained for a day of my enforced six weeks off with bugger all to do - still got two weeks to go, how about another 30 or so episodes?
The camera on a pole trick actually makes an appearance in the next episode as it happens! Hope it continues to curb your boredom! Meanwhile, have you seen any of The Gentleman Bikers videos? He rides a Fazer 400 Naked. Very similar sense of humour to me. I really enjoy his videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/GentlemanBikerVlog

I've been struggling to find a good way to mount my cheap little camera higher up, but then realised that well, actually, I'd still be catching a lot of footage of hedges etc, even with it helmet mounted.You've done really well with all the editing stuff, not sure I could ever get to that level. A lot of work has obviously gone into it, to good effect. That's the other thing that keeps me watching, as we can all just bolt a camera on, lop out a few bits and pieces and lob it on YT (well, unless you go by the moniker of red98 that is ).Not sure I want to watch someone riding a Fazer 400 whilst naked though
