[@spikerjack46]

1 hr 32 mins of absolute joy. I`m 71, have ridden GS's from 1981 'til 2017 when I gave up big bikes (heart attack) Got a crf250 rally and what a difference. Fantastic, a vocal point amongst strangers when I stop. If you're ever over in Ireland, there's a garden for yer tent.

[@vincenash1358]

After watching the whole video , it’s the mate you have the adventure with that is most important 👍

[@lightweightadv]

Yes, it absolutely is, and that has probably been one of our biggest lessons over the years 👌

[@darrellschuler5201]

Now that was a proper adventure trip. From freezing in your tents to getting hammered in Bordeaux(?) to forming a world class string band in the south of Spain. You did it yourselves, no camera crew and chase trucks. You learned the true meaning of adventure. Thanks. It feels like I was along for the ride.

[@lightweightadv]

Haha, thanks Darrell. It was such a great trip, brilliant memories. We're about to head out again, off to the Balkens this year 👍🏻

I liked the human side that your story brings, by sharing your inner feelings with your audience. The most beautiful landscapes in the world will never replace the memories you will keep from spending a little time in contact with the natives This story allowed me to remember my first motorcycle trips and I thank you for it Philippe (Brussels)

Hey guys. If you really like long and quiet gravel and forest roads with changing views, come to north - Sweden and specially here in Finland. Camping in the forest is free and safe. Also it´s legal because of "Every Man´s Right".

Tabernas , thats my off the grid bolt hole, my brother has built a "rock house", hidden into the hillside. Up the rambla outside Tabernas. we ride our bikes up there, Hondas, Dauville, GLX ,NC750x, BM F650gs, his next trip will be from UK on a honda 110cc ex japanese postie bike. My next trip will be on a 1600 triumph, so may be a bit of struggle up the track, we are 68 and 70.

Hello I am on the verge of taking the plunge and doing this type of trip , can I ask why not the 450 Honda ? I’ve ridden the 250’s and for my size n weight they seem underpowered

[@lightweightadv]

Do it. Reason we took the 250s was long days riding at highish revs, so we were looking for reliability. We did 5.5k miles on that trip.

[@victorbarba4125]

Great trip and video! Just to let you know for the next one to Spain, check it out the local laws about camping in the wild and specially setting up a fire, because we've got quite a few wild fires recently and the laws are really strict about it, because the risk it takes, and if a guard catches you there with a fire you'll definitely get in BIG trouble and the penalties are huge!

[@lightweightadv]

Yeah, we've since learned that! Thanks for the heads up however 😎👍🏻

Sorry i keep commenting as i was going through the Vlog but looking back on this trip did you at any point wish you were on a bigger machine and now 1 year on have you purchased a Bigger bike

[@lightweightadv]

Hey Peter no need to apologise buddy. There were times on the trip where a few more horses would have helped on the motorway but I can honestly say that the smaller capacity made the adventure in a lot of ways in that it forces you to slow down and just enjoy the trip for what it is

A shout out to Honda for their quality engineering on the bikes

[@lightweightadv]

Absolutely 👍 really solid performance

[@bikenavbm1229]

Interesting comments ridden much of Northern Spain as well as most bits of Europe mainly solo and have learnt myself that as much as I love being out in the sticks riding trails and wild camping etc I also enjoy being in a small village here and there and being around people even if its just sitting and watching people over a le cafe. As a soloist i just mix it up as best I can as the mood takes me. Some like to create a challenge and agenda and need to do the best they can to accomplish it, others prefer to remain flexible and change to suit the mood, circumstances or feel for enjoyment at the time. dont they have wind turbines in Lincolnshire?

[@lightweightadv]

Hey Bikenav, yep, we learned a lot on that trip. Predominantly, how we tackle future adventures. The towns and villages became our favourite places to hang out 🤷🏻‍♂️. The wind turbines in France are sooo much bigger (or at least it seems 😅). Thanks man 👊🏻😎

But you'll get the idea, it's the same as yours. Thanks for sharing your advendture. I'm still looking for the right definition. Risk is part of it. But risk is relative to everyone, so that would not suffice; and would not be a good enough reason to go looking for it. "The more unknown as possible" would be my compass. Bye !
