BIKES and BACKDROPS ARTY FARTY

[@Saddlebags73]

Thank you all for watching and commenting. I’m about to board a plane so I will get back to you all upon my return. Adiós!

[@albundy643]

@Saddlebags73 Have a great time Saddlebags

[@marktorbay]

Enjoy

We're off the day after tomorrow. So, if you are anywhere near where we are going, make sure those pesky Germans don't pinch all the best sun-loungers!

[@Saddlebags73]

🤣 We went to Lanzarote. The hotel has a ‘no reserving loungers’ policy and they remove towels left by anyone not in the pools 😀 We don’t do beach or poolside holidays though. Our holidays are generally quite exhausting 🤣

[@kenbrooks7794]

While watching this it occured to me how difficult it must be to do these episodes. Narrating on the move, remembering the folk and their pics then editing the pics into your journey. You make it look so slick and seamless, Good Job!,👍👌

[@Saddlebags73]

That’s very kind of you, are you feeling alright? 🤣 I can only remember the details of two or three at a time. Hence the gateways and note consultations 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

The one from Kansas is timeless. If I would have to pick just one I would go for the Vespa 125 with that very comfortable seat-Yankee. :)

[@Saddlebags73]

Ah yea, the bike is called Kansa, but it was taken in England. Great shot though. And I love that Vespa too 😎 Many thanks Gregor 👍🏼

[@exeterrider]

Yeap that's proper arty fart photos. Great set there. I'll try to sort some more out at some point. 🎉

[@kenbrooks7794]

Yes Please, No one will have an artistic eye like yours..... 😂

[@exeterrider]

@kenbrooks7794 😂👍I have run out of locations pretty quick that's the problem. I'll work something out 😎

[@NooBiker]

Maybe when you're not so BUSy?

Great set of pictures! John Young's black and white cruiser looks like it's in the USA somewhere. Took me a double-take to realise it's somewhere I ride often 😀

[@Stefan_trekkie]

You are correct, Jeff, the city itself was on his antient greek/roman name of Serdica but was renamed at end of 19th century .. A postmodernism art with crazy messages .. If you look closely, the big white letters says - STEF, just like me ... But think someone died, by that name as those rip massages imply. Thank you ever so much for showing my photo.

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks so much Stefan. Great photo! Very interesting backdrop. Thanks for being part of it 👍🏼

[@markhutchings8281]

Great entertainment! I love seeing pictures from around the world!😎👍🏻👍🏻

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks Mark. I find it fascinating 🙂

[@michaellilley6725]

Gosh this one reminds me of Corrie and Hilda Ogden "Stanley!! Stanley!! Don't you mess with my Muriel" 😂 Some very cleverly thought out photos in front of some very artistically done murals. You definitely saved the best till last with the brilliantly composed and edited shot from CYL 😮😊👍

[@hachewie]

Yep, love the black and white. Very crossroads

[@craigyllyn]

Thanks for the mention and the pic. Glad you liked it. We had fun taking them and I later “enjoyed” the editing..

[@Saddlebags73]

You’re welcome! And thank you for being a part of it. Love that shot 👌🏼

[@jannerfox9292]

Nice one Pard, some pretty pictures.

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks Janner 👍🏼

[@NooBiker]

Some great photos and locations there! I've bookmarked the Ian Curtis mural as I'm a big fan, so hope to get a photo there at some stage

[@LordBilious]

I can let you know the location or take you there, if you've not already worked it out mate.

[@NooBiker]

@@LordBilious a visit with friends sounds like a great idea! I'll have to pull my finger out and organise a visit to Mancs.

[@Saddlebags73]

Thank you for your excellent contributions 👌🏼😎

[@jsrides2065]

Nice video great ride through the lanes and some awesome pics 😉👍🏻🏍️💨💨💨

[@davericketts9101]

Love this type of video from you. The commentary is great, the scenery is great, everything is great. Thanks. Enjoy your break in Spain. Adiós!

[@Saddlebags73]

Ah thank you that’s very kind. We had a wonderful time, muchas gracias señor 😎

[@johnyoung6498]

Hi Saddlebags73, thank you for putting on the photo of Kansas ... she is chuffed to bits. Another great 'Backdrops' video from you. Cheers man.

[@Saddlebags73]

Thank you kindly. Cracking photo of Kansas and I appreciate you sharing. All the best 😎

[@peterhutchison502]

I like a bit of Arty Farty on a Sunday morning. Great video as always Jeff waiting for the next one already😊

[@-old-school-motorcyclesltd]

Brilliant what a great watch, loving the Arty Farty theme Jeff especially like the final shot with the old building in the mirror.😊 It was all great, I must get another pic to you soon Safe travels and catch you later Phil

[@Saddlebags73]

Very kind of you, thanks Phil. Yes I love that pic from Craig y Lyn 👌🏼 Feel free to send more 🙂 All the best Jeff

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

Good morning Jeff very nice photos with some stories 👍🏍️

[@Saddlebags73]

Thank you kindly Derek 👍🏼

[@paulholmes1682]

Thanks Mr Bags, so nice of you to include my happy snap photos with the nice looking artistic ones. It must be great to have an artistic eye, I suppose it's similar to being musical, both skills to be luckily born with. Hopefully you two have topped up your vitamin D levels from the holiday sunshine😎👍

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks for being a part of it Paul. I enjoy your photos and appreciate you sending them in. Got back last night after a wonderful week of 28 degrees ☀️😎

[@Banditmanuk]

The Snowdonia picture is brilliant. Great basis for a series. Thanks and take care

[@Saddlebags73]

Thank you Bandit 👍🏼

[@PeterHolland-mu7yn]

Good selection of photos Jeff, and showing my px in all her glory, 🤣 weather here cold n cloudy not as nice as your ride out 🙁 roll on summer 😳 …. Pete🇫🇷

[@Saddlebags73]

[@economicalrides]

Great fun as always Jeff, some pretty arty pictures in this one. Well done to you and the Witch for surviving those tricky conditions. We hope that you're both having a lovely holiday ! Speak soon ! Yes, Stefan is from Bulgaria and likes his treaders 😛 Love from Spain, Garry & Ruby ❤🐕"Squirrel !?!?"

[@Saddlebags73]

Hey Neil 👋🏼 😀 Many great photos to come. I’m glad you enjoy. Thank you kindly 👍🏼 Jeff

[@mrgrizzlyrides]

@ No problem Jeff. How is your good lady; well I hope.

[@Saddlebags73]

Ah thanks for asking. Had a few more episodes of dizziness etc. but not as bad as before 🤞🏼

[@LordBilious]

Another great episode SB and thanks for featuring my picture.

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks LB, and thanks for the photo. That’s a goodun 👍🏼

[@RandysRides]

Those statues are cool. "All's wall that ends wall..." 🙄 🤣 Some of those picture locations were pretty epic.

[@Saddlebags73]

🤪 Cheers Randy! Hope all’s wall with you 👍🏼

[@lilynorthover8378]

That last photo was something wasn't it? I'm really enjoying this series, showing some interesting places and awesome bikes. I do like tassels on a Harley 😂. It's also lovely to see the roads all putting their winter coats on. Mud and twiggy hedges. The gateways were superb. Was it Devon? 😊

[@Saddlebags73]

Yes CyL’s pic is a beauty 😎 Glad you enjoy the series Lily. I find it fascinating putting these together. It was Devon looking over Cornwall 😉

[@neilmackinnon3371]

Another entertaining B&B, nice to get a mention and also to see a Noob photo from the place of my birth. Keep em coming Jeff, really enjoying these video's.

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks Neil and thanks for the contribution. I’ve seen your email and will get back to that side of things this coming week all being well 👍🏼

[@albundy643]

Some great pics there Mr Saddlebags. 😊

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks Al 😎

[@paulstredwick]

I'm sure I recognise the mill in CYL's splendid photo from your Welsh trip. Hoping to include it in an overnight trip next week. Enjoy your winter sun.

[@Saddlebags73]

Excellent memory you have 👏🏻 Absolutely no idea how to pronounce it 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’d be interested to know if you found it. Lovely week of 28 degrees 😎 Thanks Paul.

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Excellent video my friend...enjoyed the chat and the photos! Enjoy your trip! Cheers Steve 💚

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed. We had a lovely week of 28 degrees ☀️

[@Tojj29]

Great vid as always. That first Hardly Able-Son reminded me of my kids bikes with them tassels on it😂 Love that Vespa👌

[@Saddlebags73]

🤣🤣🤣 Yes that Vespa is very cool. Thanks Toj 👍🏼

[@AliasMrHackenbacker]

I'll have to find some vintage bus stops to photograph and out do ER!

[@Saddlebags73]

He’ll take some beating but it’s nice to have a challenge 🤪

[@exeterrider]

Go for it! Lets see what you got : )

[@AliasMrHackenbacker]

​@exeterrider I've got an idea of where I can find some, but the place might be closed for winter. I'll now be looking at bus stops every time I go out for a ride and become a bus stop nerd!

[@exeterrider]

@AliasMrHackenbacker 🤣👍

[@blearyview2254]

A fair old mix of pics, very nice👍

[@Saddlebags73]

Thanks Bleary 🙂

[@RoadsOfOz]

Some great photos in that lot.

Thanks ROO. This is fascinating for me 🙂👍🏼

[@jimsadler8704]

Some interesting photos there, SB. I'll be out this week to improve on the bland efforts I sent you earlier. Have a great holiday.

[@Saddlebags73]

Thank you Jim. Not bland at all and I’m looking forward to using the Velo photo you sent 👍🏼

Thanks Mark. I thought so too 🙂

[@flatcapcaferacer]

I'm liking your blue skies with a few puffy clouds.I think I've seen that Bill Shakespeare before somewhere. I'm not too fond of graffiti pictures, murals are great though.

[@Saddlebags73]

The murals are brilliant aren’t they 🙂 Thank you Flat Cap 👍🏼
