v11 what a good way to break a hip in the middle of nowhere! lol very jealous , what a beautiful trip!

[@michaelsmart61]

The V11 is part of my travel kit now, 6500 km and the only serious fall was because a dog bit my leg and held on and dragged me down. Fully recovered shoulder now, should have been wearing a motorbike jacket, safety gear is essential, I have hip pads if I need, and I use them.

Good video, thanks for sharing. how did you find the heat and flies this time of year, was it busy out there?

[@michaelsmart61]

No the flies weren't that bad at all and the weather was mild, 25-28deg C max, and cold at night, we had ice a few times. Quite a few travellers heading West we had to keep an eye out and listen to the radio. One idiot coming the other way going way too fast nearly ended our trip, only braking in the deep sand pulled him up before hitting us head on, not many going east like us .

Music drowns out the audio. Ditch the music

[@michaelsmart61]

Yep, hopefully my editing skills are improving the more I learn and i can bring the music right down at the right times. I'm just doing this for fun you know? My 80 cruiser is hard to have a conversation in without music on a smooth road, and its a bit tricky trying to get everything recording right sometimes with no special recording equipment. For me it's more about the scenery and landscapes out the window than any of the crap we are talking about anyway, though I'm working on getting better at that so if we do talk you might be able to decipher what we say haha
