After having x2 stents fitted , finally have travel insurance | BMW R1250GS gets 5 hours in France

[@GeoffWalden]

Just had a stent fitted two weeks ago, although I was on holiday in Austria at the time! Many thanks to hospital staff in Salzburg. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to get back on the GS.

[@gsd32i]

Hi Geoff. Hope you are feeling x100 better ? I am putting the finishing touches to a video of the stent issue from the start to the end ....well hopefully not the end 😂 just so folks can see what gets done from diagnosis, exercise machine and then the operation.

[@GeoffWalden]

⁠@@gsd32iyes, feeling good now - I had left arm pain and really mild chest pain out of the blue, went to A&E and had stent fitted within 5 hours! Be interesting to see your journey, looks like you’ve made a good recovery. Currently in two minds whether or not to get a Chigee, was worried about phone battery life but I guess can always use bike usb.

[@gsd32i]

@@GeoffWalden wow within 5 hours! Hopefully 100% off to the gym once ive done a bit more on the stent video .

[@andymushlarky7819]

Stay fit pal, your content is always interesting and takes me back to my time spent on the Rock.

[@gsd32i]

Many thanks. Great to get off the rock.

[@photobiker4309]

Good to hear that you're back to normal, and always nice to be able to hope on the ferry for a quick visit to France.

[@PaulMellon-k8i]

I've had 2 stents fitted too and use AllClear who specialise in pre-existing conditions.

[@22Royston]

Well done with the recovery - Enjoy life - and ride safe 🙏

[@mrmv6290]

Enjoying your videos, and your experiences in sunny france. If only it was an hour and a half to france on a ferry, you are a lucky man we're you live and with being diagnosed and treated for your heart condition before it was to late. Enjoy your second chance at living life to the full and thanks for the vid.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks. 👍

[@FreddeLamotte]

It's not the other side of the road, it's the right side :-) drive safe !

[@gsd32i]

Indeed it is!

[@TheStammeringBiker]

Good to see you out enjoying the bike mate!

[@gsd32i]

Glad to see you fighting fit and out enjoying the bike 🏍️

[@gsd32i]

[@andyhorsfall9394]

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Thanks for the interesting vid, I enjoyed that.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks 👍

[@nigelsride]

Nice to see you out and about. Hope you enjoyed your day spanking your loverley GS. Mussles and chips , just a perfect combination 👍

[@gsd32i]

yes it was nice just to get away, even for that short time.

[@bc312070]

Back on the mend, great stuff love your not too serious vid's🤩

[@gsd32i]

Glad you like them!

[@aunoates6617]

Good to see you recovering well. Just after you leave the ferry in St. Malo, if you turn right at the sign “Barrage de Rance” and cross the river you can ride along the River Rance straight into the Port of Dinan. Lovely scenery, nice villages, and no dual carriage ways or traffic. The only problem is so many nice places to stop on the way! 😎

[@gsd32i]

OK thanks, I intend to do another one asap with no flipping cameras etc to faff about with 😂

[@dungbeetle.]

When life gives you lemons, go ride your bike! 😊

[@terryjohnson2830]

Another great entertaining video.. well apart from the mussels and chips!! Keep them coming..

[@gsd32i]

Thanks! Will do! Hopefully get the m1000xr out on Friday

[@TheDervMan]

This video made me so happy, glad you're back in the biking game. Shame your time off work wasn't in the summer 🤣

[@gsd32i]

You and me both! 😂

[@fransvankogelenberg]

Enjoy!

[@Hogdriver88]

Speedy recovery. Bring us more Euro tours before you have to go back to work!

[@gsd32i]

Indeed I will try. 😁

[@mars0030]

A grand day out!

Speedy recovery thanks for the trip to France 🤓👍🏻😎😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻 from bc.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks 👍

[@milabaigar]

My neighbor just had the same Paul literally 2 weeks ago . Ride that bike hombre 💪🏼💪🏼if you want to travel 1500 kilometers south we could go for a blast in the mountains 🤣😂👍

[@gsd32i]

Sounds great!

[@MC-bawbag]

Many thanks for openness and lot of men our age go through or are about to go though the same. Can I ask what happens with DVLA do you need to inform them? Same with insurance? Does insurance increase? Stay safe cheers M

[@gsd32i]

Always best to advise your insurance if you have any medical issues.They simply sent me a medical declaration form to fill in.

[@nicknfullwood-vj8hs]

Just moved from Calimoto to use scenic, could you do a set up / review on chigge as my screen visuals look different to yours on my chigee (BMW version) which I assume should be the same. Glad recovering from surgery

[@gsd32i]

Iphone ?

[@nicknfullwood-vj8hs]

Yes on iPhone, I may have found the answer tho, think my CarPlay settings are on always dark ? Scenic is really good, looking forward to new version in October

[@arabianjules]

Speedy recovery, loved jersey, pleased i took the bike, but not again 😂, look forward to going back and take my wife. Loved Dinan, came across it by accident in june coming up from doing the nazi sub pens on our annual battlefield ride, lovely place❤

[@gsd32i]

Are those pens worth a visit ? 😁

[@arabianjules]

@@gsd32i yes m8, but only saint Naz` and Lorient, as La Rochelle not open to public, but a beautiful city, we did Oradour su Glane as well😉

[@gsd32i]

@@arabianjules Thanks 👍

[@Itsnotsafeandeffective]

Welcome back. What is your setup on your bmw looking at your ride aio5 lite or play , innovv 3rd eye, are you using innovv cameras or the chigee.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks. TBH all the chigee stuff is very good. If you have cameras already then the Play is the one to go for, simply pop it in the cradle, job done. The Chigee cameras are better than the equivalent innovv ones on their nav unit, but not by much. Still can't beat action cameras though. But for evidence recording, then really not much in it. Just don't expect to use them for your biking vacation epic movie. I have the 3rd eye and aio5 lite unit/camera currently, but they were all supplied foc. Budget would play a part too. The lite kind of ticks a lot of boxes in that it has everything, cameras etc. The rear mirror view is very good and that is something I use a lot when nav is not being used. For me if you wanted a definitive answer..........lite with whizz wheel adapter. ride safe 😁

[@Itsnotsafeandeffective]

@@gsd32i Thanks

[@Itsnotsafeandeffective]

@@gsd32i thank you

[@xjr13john]

Wow a whole 5hrs in France? bet your GS is tired! Did you get nose bleeds riding over 50mph? The French car drivers are very good when filtering with most moving over to make more room.

[@gsd32i]

Predictable comments as usual . Ride safe and enjoy the weekend 😂

[@glenncharles2397]

Hi could I ask who your insurance is with I’m Struggling to get some 🙄

[@gsd32i]

Sure, I got insurance from these guys www.freespirittravelinsurance.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADyNT9lfHwLBgZhXOLi2Gi7r7WL0I&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuPi978zYiAMVC5FQBh34RgWXEAAYASAAEgIhvPD_BwE
