    I’m currently touring Romania right now. Cluj Napoca and Brasov were magical. Passed through Bucharest a few times this trip and can honestly say it’s one of the scariest places to ride, soo many inpatient drivers. I kinda regret starting here because everywhere else I’ve passed through has been superb. They have a bit of everything road wise here.

    5:10 Beware this folks, (when visiting Romania) the locals stop at RR crossings (with visible RR, and traffic stop signs posted). I wonder what you would say if you were in Switzerland. Prime example of entitlement. Oh, dang, you mentioned it again at 10:28. It is the disdain chuckle that gets me. I did like the sincere caution on dogs and cattle on the road.

    Morning Mr Teapot! We met briefly at ABR, I’m sure you remember us!! We’re heading off in two weeks to northern Spain, Pyrenees and Dordogne. Quick question about how do you switch your GoPros on at same time? Do you use the on/off and record buttons or a remote? I have the remote but it is sooooo unreliable and frustrating

    • @teapotone
      @teapotone  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello bud, how’s it going!
      I have both GoPro’s set at one touch record and I just push the record button on each one, give it a few seconds, then I sync up by spamming my visor shut - you sync of the audio peak on the helmet vid and by visually looking at the cockpit cam footage to see when the visor shuts.
