I am an old man that rode for many years. Just saying that so you understand where I’m coming from please be careful and don’t get complacent the problem with motorcycles is that you can’t take anything for granted you can ride for 20 years and then one little mistake will put you in the hospital as itchy boots found out love you be safe ❤
@megamix13015 ай бұрын
Absolutely true. A motorcycle is a motorcycle.. You can’t be sure of anything. This unfortunate accident that happened to Norali is proof of this. There was nothing difficult on that road, but a mistake in attention led to serious injury.

Stormy point lookout is on a road known as Vinegar Hill (State Highway 54) and is one of my favourite stretches of road in the Manawatu, alas I haven’t been there for a few years so it bought back pleasant memories, thanks. I’m currently making my way through your motorcycle journey videos and I’m enjoying them a lot, safe travels.

As many have said before me your casual laid back manner is very soothing, yes that loose surface can be quite tricky, not as bad as sand but never the less requires a bit of concentration. The scenery is beautiful, very relaxing. Good luck keep going, look forward to seeing more of New Zealand, can see why so many Europeans fell in love with the place and made it their home.😊😊😊😊

How to ride dirt and gravel, shift your weight back a little, lean the bike slightly into the turn and steer in the opposite direction, the faster the more steer, start slow first but when you got it, it is so much fun, also builds your confidence when riding on a wet road

Hu? Close to the Equator? I presume that you mean that we are close to the Antarctic which has a hole in the ozone layer above it. Yes I know what you are talking about, NZ is the worst place I have ever been to that is so very easy to get sunburned. I have worked in Africa, Middle East, Asia and Europe and nowhere is the danger of skin cancer like in the paradise of the South Pacific. When fishing the Tongariro River in July I got my bottom lip burned with just the reflection of the light from the river. My clothing covered me all except for my mouth! I have camped the South Island for a year, fishing and hunting, love this place. Cheers mate, Harera

I do this and it works great ..... just remeber to take out the USBC cable when you take of the helmet

I can really relate to your "stay left, stay left" thinking. When I was probably your age I had a job in England for a year. Between driving a car and riding a motorcycle I was pretty confident in my " stay left" abilities. In a serious fast thinking situation every thing goes out the window. Your emergency reactions automatically revert to "go right, go right".

I noticed you are using the action 3 as main vlogging camera and I guess you are using the dji wireless mic to attenuate the audio signal going to the action 3. I know for a fact that audio easily peaks on action 3 when motovlogging and the onboard gain setting is not enough to control the peaks on audio. If you can get the new 3.5mm audio adapter from dji it attenuates the signal significantly and is compatible with the action 3. No need to use the wireless transmitter and make the setup heavier than it should. Just plug the lav mic directly to the adapter. Hope it helps.
