Looking forward to part three! I did the B500 Black forest last year, via the Tunnel (I'm in Sussex too) through France, amazing road I'm definitely going back! I videoed lots of my trip too and had my camera on my helmet but when watching it back my family all said the same thing, it makes them feel dizzy when we look left and right quickly at junctions etc, so although I still use the helmet attachment I also bought a bracket so the camera is secured to the bike pointing forwards, so unaffected by my head moving around, makes for smoother footage. I also bought the Dango Gripper so can clip it anywhere, I've had great shots with the camera mounted on the passenger footpegs, rear grab handles, even the top box plate when the top box isn't on, just gives a more interesting set of camera angles. Have a look at some of my videos and you'll see what I mean! Keep it up though, I'm enjoying watching you!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I did buy an Akaso brave but didn't leave enough time to sort out rear mounting with the luggage on :) I will have at look at the Dango gripper :) The B500 was brilliant in fact I preferred riding in Germany to France :)
@@TheSussexBiker agreed! I did Belgium, Luxembourg France and Germany (though only really passed through Bel and Lux) but definitely liked Germany now than I thought I would! Will be heading back next year.
Nice of you to share your troubles during covid and I am glad you're in a good place now. Thank you for your videos on maintenance of the kawasaki z1000sx. They have helped a lot.
Hi thanks for the feedback, I thought it just made a single camera view more interesting and a way of keeping the video shorter :). Thanks for the suggestion I will give it a go.
@@BC-xu8yq Thanks my P.C is currently packed away due to home renovations so no editing happening at the moment as soon as it's back up and running, I can upload some more. Thanks for watching :)
it's been quite intermittent and seems to be behaving at present. But yes not fun I did try getting it resolved but the times it went in it couldn't be faulted, I wasn't going to not go after waiting so long.
Great to hear your happy with the new work life, all the best
Thanks very much and thanks for watching 👍
Yey, awesome mate, was pleasure meeting you, great watch
Same :) thanks for taking the time to watch :)
Great info mate. Nice Video.
Thanks for watching and the kind comment 🙂
I've never been in a group that used that riding system - it looks a winner, keeping sixteen together is no mean feat!
We did have a few times where we got split up but that was more not keeping to the system :)

Thanks for commenting and watching and glad there were helpful👍
Why do you speed up the footage? It makes it hard to watch. Could you not just shorten the normal speed bits?

@@TheSussexBiker Maybe a good trade off would be to have several short normal speed clips with the music. Enjoying this tour so far!

How can you go on a bike tour when you have to worry if the bike is going to start?
Not fun!!

I did most of the rides in the 60s on a BSA A7ss. you are doing a real good job mate, I had trouble with names as well.
Thanks for watching and commenting, glad I'm not the only one that struggles with French names 😆
