What a great video of a great adventure. Not only was the content great, the presentation was great too. Audio levels were just right. Many videos leave me riding the volume so that I can hear the dialogue while trying to avoid being blasted by background music that is not in the background. I was really expecting that at one of the stops where you were hosted by other riders, that you would have modified the peacock. In the US, riding on the highway with a bike that peters out at 60-65 mph would be a little scary. We have a big country and people are in a hurry to get wherever they are going. Again, great job and thank you for making this video!

Ian, what am interesting film. Those Scandinavian countries look so good for motorcycling around. It's good to see the old zed enjoying herself. Looking forward to seeing the Iceland film. All the best Tim lear

Ian, that made for a delightful watch - thank you! It's the luxury of pondering over seemingly inconsequential observations (such as the blue and yellow signboards, which definitely point to the nearest Ikea 😀) that make motorcycle travel so intensely personal and fulfilling. You definitely weren't solo on this one!
