I'm riding my BMW R1250 GS Adventure. Otherwise known as The Fagatron 6000
Another cracking vid. In my opinion, the vids that have been cut/edited to pieces just don't have quite the same feeling as a bloke having a chat. Keep them coming Leigh.
I'm glad a few of you seem to think that. I do edit lots out. The editing is a massive mission. I worry quite a lot that they might be boring.
This is why you're so relatable Leigh , keeping things real and honest. Hope your efforts are rewarded in the next episode..
Thanks a lot Gary 👍
Sometimes the journey is not fun... but it is necessary. Last October I visited the Somme and the graves of my two great uncles who were killed there in WW1. It was a silent promise I made to myself and my grandmother who missed her brothers all her life. It was the saddest place I have ever been and just typing this brings back the full force of that sadness, but I needed to visit the boys and will visit them again. I am sure your dad would understand what your motivation is.
Wow that sounds tough. Yea I hope my dad would understand. Hey I'm not sure you saw last week's video. There was a bit in it especially fir you.
@@Nightcrawler666 I saw last weeks video... and laughed my head off.
@neilmackinnon3371 o 10-4. I didn't think you'd seen it.
@@Nightcrawler666 I'll go a look at my comments, perhaps I meant to say something about the cyclists (ohhh suit you!) but forgot. I never miss an episode on a Friday, they are a MUST WATCH!
Keep doing what your doing mate. Your episodes are awesome 👍
Thanks Dude. 👍 😘
Respect Leigh 👍❤️
Thank you 👍🖤
You keep talking and we will keep listening mate, God bless ya !!
Thanks Matt. I hope so.
Your ‘nonsense’ is what makes your videos so watchable and entertaining. Real life stories are so much better than the so called ‘reality’ stuff.
Wow. Thanks. I'm glad you think that. 👍
Love the nonsense, the honesty and the serious stuff too. Keep doing what you are doing Leigh
Thanks Lee 👍
A beautiful powerful episode. Thank you for sharing this with your you tube family. See you soon xxx❤
Thank you very much.
Powerful stuff big man. In my view you're right to share. It's good for the soul. Loving the respect your seeking to show for all involved. All the best with it.
Thank you very much 👍
Good or bad you keep it real 💯 👌 thats why I love the channel.... you even left us on a cliff hanger
Thanks Lee 🤘
Your poor Dad, what a weight to carry. A sad situation which wasn’t his fault.
Great content on your channel, no bull 💩. I’m with you on the live to work scenario. When I win the lottery and I have more money than I know what to do with I’ll think of you. 😆👍👍👍
Yea it was a bad time for my dad, but obviously nothing compared to those poor families. It was a horrific story my dad told me more details. Yea I need to do the lottery. Mind you the CMS (used to be CSA) would take that off me too. Video that none of you will belive coming soon.
Such a sad episode and thanks for sharing , I know how hard it must be to do this with the memories . Thoughts with all involved and there friends and family and especially you and your Dad ❤❤
Thanks Matt. I almost didn't add any of this.
Another great episode in this story. I hope you find the plaque/monument. keep the nonsense coming its what makes your video's so entertaining.
Thanks a few people seem to be saying that. I often wonder if I should cut loads more out. It's a ballance of keeping them not too long. Cut my waffle down & try & take you guys on the journey with me.
Your vlogs are "Our" weekly tonic Leigh keep them coming sad, happy, or indifferent. You know yourself truck driving is a occupational hazard, it's sad when people don't survive these "accidents" thankfully your Dad wasn't injured or even worse, but mentally it's left it's mark in his memories.
I myself was trapped in my cab for three hours back in the 80's, lucky for me i got away with breaks bruises and cuts, three idiots in another truck pulled out on me.
Then riding bikes for 60 years has had it's moments as you well know being a rider and ex-truck driver yourself.
keep pushing on Bro and don't look back in life's rear view mirror too much.
I hope Wookiee and Alex are keeping ok, I look forward to when you three go on your next escapades. Stay safe Bro...... 🏍🤘👍
Yes I'm OK. But gutted that I wasn't able to be there with Leigh at this time.
Thank you so much. Yea I saw quite a few nasty accidents when I was with my dad as a kid & when I started doing the job myself. I've also seen things doing recovery. You were trapped in a truck in the 80's! Was that an F10 or F12 or was it an old Merc with the hideous EPS. That might of been a bit too new actually. What was it? I'll go with an ERF with the battery Eaton twin Splitter that all the old dudes said was the best gearbox ever. Bollox it was 💩.
Yea Wookiee & Alex are doing well. Yea another good European trip is most definitely needed with those to bee arches. I've got quite a bit of footage to edit yet of trips.
it was a Dodge 500 v8 ZF box, not my usual truck (Foden) as mine was in the workshop getting prepared for "Plate Test" Cheers Leigh @@Nightcrawler666 👍
A sad story that one Leigh hope you find the memorial.Ride safe.
Yea. Reading about it on the Internet was very sad. Also remembering my Dad telling me about it was tough. Thanks for watching & commenting & sticking around all this time.
Thanks
I'm blown away Chris. Not only did you go nuts with sending me stuff for my Birthday & really useful stuff with thought gone into it. You also sent Wookiee & Alex stuff. Then to completely tip me over the edge you send me £50!😮. I can't actually believe it. Thank you so so much.
i appreciate the full picture that we get with you the less edited view of the adventure😄i wouldf wanted to go in a water feature too like wooki
Thank you. Belive it or not thats hrs & hrs of editing to get to that😄
o believe it just meant feels like we i along for the ride with you✌️😄🤘
You seem a little depressed, may need some couch time with the doc
Quite possibly
I don't know if I'm qualified to be a Therapist some of the things I've done in my life
And do we have to call you Dad if we're your family 😅😢
Enjoy all your Nonesence and Faffing Awsome Nightcrawler 666 have wait another week now 🤟😈
Thanks Chris. No you definitely don't have to call me dad 🤣
I presume you’ve seen this;
th-cam.com/video/rddE6QD9qts/w-d-xo.html.
It doesn’t help that there seems to be too places called Mirambau really close to each other in that part of the world, only one however is by the A10. I’m now looking forward to next week to see how Sherlock Leigh Holmes tracks down the plaque.
Thanks David. Yea I saw that video when I stayed in the old house the night before this was filmed. Shocking. It upset me a lot.
More interesting nonsense 😀
Haha I'm glad your finding my nonsense interesting. Thank you.
