    Cool guys! I wish you the best. Some tip, Miss, poney tail in the jacket otherwise it will be the mess at the end of the day. No glasses in your helmet, some pain after a while, prefer a helmet with a retractable sun visor. Replace the stock mirror by the ones mounted on RAM ball because you will crash at one moment and they will broke. I think you will need some auxiliary light in the front and maybe a beefy skid plate.

      Thanks François! It's funny because Lavi's head is so small they don't make helmets with retractable sun visors that fit her 😂 We will definitely look into a couple of those things, especially the skid plate!

    In a perfect world you guys would spend at least one whole riding season on the bike getting used to it and the equipment before setting out on a world adventure. I find that during the winter my body has to re acclimate to each new season, and I've been riding for 26 years on the street. I'm glad you guys are doing this while you're young! Lol! I look forward to seeing you guys break the record!

    May I ask what editing software you are using and do you edit yourselves?? Are you going to post daily on your trips? How you gonna work it when you have no internet connections?? Am really interested thanks.

    • @AndreiDumitru
      @AndreiDumitru 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      curious myself also. I used "quik" app by GoPro on the phone, on my #60days20000km trip and did daily videos up to say 30 or so then gave up . and with 3 cameras as they have it's not easy to cull and edit without a laptop. but I was too a new location every day so maybe they will have more time for video editing

    • @LaviandOllie
      @LaviandOllie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey Ronald! We are using Final Cut Pro for editing, yes we edit everything ourselves, usually takes us the good part of a day to get a full episode edited! The plan for the RTW trip is to ride for 1-2 days and then edit as quick as we can and post up before moving again so every days ride will be posted as an episode :) When we have no internet we will continue to make the episodes, save them up and upload them all when we get to a point with internet and schedule them accordingly

    • @LaviandOllie
      @LaviandOllie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We will take a day off for editing every 2 days or so to make sure we stay on top of it! Fingers crossed 😁🤞

I am looking on doing a tour around Portugal and then into the other Southern European countries. My tours and videos will be aimed at people at my stage of life. Touring on back roads but with more stop overs in mind and sightseeing. It will be an easy touring experience with stop overs in Air Bnbs and hotels. Is what most my age prefer. Not built for camping and tents anymore😂😂. I want to concentrate on easy roads and local interesting sights. So will need to brush up on local history etc.

    Hello Lavi and Ollie. I have subscribed as I like your energy and I´m looking forward to follow your around the world. I would like to know a bit about your reason for riding two up? I would think the adventure going to feel quite long for Lavi as she won´t be active during the rides. Also your reasons for choice of bike? ;-)

      @LaviandOllie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey! Thanks so much for subscribing! 😁🙏 We're riding two up primarily because Lavi doesn't have a license! 😂 But also it keeps the fuel costs down and it means we only have two deal with repairs/maintenance/ shipping on one bike :) As for the choice of bike we didn't really have a preference as long as it would do the job and this one was offered to us by a local dealership here in Northampton called Motorcycle World so we took it and now we absolutely love it!
