I throughly enjoyed this travel video series 👍! I’m sad to see the SD-R go, but I’m sticking around because your vloging style and editing is excellent, and your “real world” comments are such a a breath of fresh air 😆. Now, as far as helmet coms go, I rode with one for about four years and finally just gave up on it. I realized I can check my phone for calls, and make calls, when I’ve stopped, and if I miss the turn on the GPS and get “lost”…..I might just end up someplace interesting instead 🤪🏍👍!

I've never dropped my gloves! 🤥 Interesting to read up on the dieing trees in the Harz forests. Seems it's a problem with having a commercial spruce monoculture and a couple of dry summers which have enabled the bark beetle to over populate. Looks like they're going down the route of a more natural forest for the future to enable more diversity with the aim of producing a stronger forest.
