Pyrenees Motorcycle Road Trip - Motorcycle Tour on BMW R1200GS Adventure - Part two France to Spain
Part 2 of the series and I'm riding from France to Spain using mixture of paid motorways and free N roads, trying to outsmart the traffic. Then I'm heading towards Potes in Picos de Europa, trying to get there before the nightfall...

Welcome aboard!

Epic days mileage! watching this series with interest as plan to go over June 2023.

[@motorcycleadventureslife]

Yes was a good one day ride 😉 it's all about the bike, on the GS you can just eat miles like there's no tomorrow. On the bikes I used to ride before it would be bone braking distance

Very entertaining my friend. What’s the headset/microphone setup?

[@motorcycleadventureslife]

Glad you like it. The intercom is Cardo Packtalk Bold. Microphone is just a cheap, no name lavalier from Amazon and the signal is split between mic and headset through a stereo brakeout cable and Y splitter. Not a perfect solution as sometimes the audio is clipping but it's the best I've tried so far. Unfortunately GoPro doesn't allow for any gain adjustment.

loved the pyrenees when we done it .I lost all my videos of it that why I started vlogging on yt so I don't lose them anymore lol.

[@motorcycleadventureslife]

Pyrenees are stunning, we were a bit unlucky with the weather, it was heavy rain and thunderstorms almost every evening without a fail. Fantastic roads tough. Shame you lost your footage, KZbin is indeed a good place to store it plus editing videos brings back so many memories 😊

[@AndyGSATractor]

@@motorcycleadventureslife weather always a hit or miss lucky we had great weather and yes memories make me want to back now lol

[@deanodog]

Interesting watch. How long did it take you to ride from Newhaven to the Picos?

[@motorcycleadventureslife]

Thank you. It took roughly 23 hours I have arrived at the ferry terminal 9.30pm and and I was in Picos just before 10pm (Spanish time) the next day.

@@motorcycleadventureslife we rode down due to the cost of the boat now its crazy prices

[@motorcycleadventureslife]

@@AndyGSATractor exactly the same. We used to take the Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth to Spain but recently their lost their marbles. Not only the crossing time increased to 36 hours they also want a grand for a ticket. At this price I would rather ride down. On the GS is a blast, cruise control on and off you go 🏍💨 Next time however I would not use the Newhaven route, you only save 100 odd miles but the crossing takes over 4 hours. My idea was to get some sleep on the boat, that's why went on the overnight crossing. It was impossible to sleep, seat way too uncomfortable, loads off people making noise and they insist on making radio announcements every 20 min. Next time Eurotunnel 30 min crossing is a way better option.

@@motorcycleadventureslife euro tunnel for us every time mate we start from Hertfordshire and stop overnight in Bouillon southern Belgium then black forest and down its a great ride.
