Should you use a motorcycle for landscape photography trips? My 1000km trip around Peru!

What's up Brett! heck I never knew about this video until now and I have ALL of my notifications turned on. Checking this bad boy out now.

Hey whats up Anthony? Hope all is well man... Yeah I didn't really push the video that much because I think that this video may not interest or apply to the photographic community at large, but may be a more niche subject... As far as KZbin, they seem to push what makes them money on ads and since my channel is small and not monetized, that makes them less likely to recommend my videos... Unfortunately, thats the story on Facebook, Instagram and most social media sites... Only a small portion of your followers will ever see your stuff unless they go to your page... Maybe one day the channel will grow and they'll start showing you stuff.. I've heard other people say the same about the notification bell on my channel, so... Thanks for the support!

@@BrettBodkinsPhotography Yea the bell is set for "All" but shoot never got the notification. and I be waiting on your content like a Netflix show man hahahaha. May be simplistic but so informative. One day, we will meet! and run around peru so I can see it in real life. FIrst, I gotta get over the fear of planes

[@BrettBodkinsPhotography]

AP Dallas Photography Well definitely you’re always welcome to come visit Peru and hang out! I don’t always love planes, but mostly they’re pretty safe. And you get the added luxury that if something happens you’ll usually die instantly instead of some crazy suffering like you get with a lot of car accidents and such. That gives me some sort of peace of mind. Maybe not for everyone! Thanks for watching and hope I gave something different than the blog!

Thank you...Enjoyed your comments about Peru. Did you search through Google maps?. Last.. How did the Honda do on the ride?

[@BrettBodkinsPhotography]

Robert, thanks so much for watching and your comment!! I don't remember in detail all the things I talked about in this video, but I was living in Pucallpa Peru for several years before I started riding... I used google maps before the ride and printed some maps for the trip, but I realized that they may not be entirely accurate... As I got close to certain turnoffs, I would usually stop and ask in my very basic Spanish if a road was passable to whatever city. I would ask if it was rock or concrete as well to get an idea of how built up it was and whether there might be any accomodations.. I found that often people in Peru will just answer yes to most questions if they don't understand you and many people are too proud to admit when they don't know something, so they'll often make something up completely to make sure they don't look stupid or uninformed... This bit me a few times, but it was something I was already familiar with having lived there for a few years... I actually ended up doing a similar trip again a second time with a partner after he heard my stories from the first... Both times my Honda CG125F did very well. It comes with very street oriented tires and that was a bit sketchy on alot of the offroad sections, but I was careful and took my time.. The bike was fantastic on tarmac and could easily take me to about 65mph which is usually about the fastest I ever go anyway.. I've sinced moved back to the US and wish I could buy a bike exactly like that bike here... It was super light and got amazing gas mileage and I was able to buy it brand new for like $1500 USD... I would do it in a second if it was possible, but of course I would avoid most highways here... Are you considering a similar trip or something? I actually made a blog post on my website that goes into more detail if you wanna check it out or hit me up on messenger or something if you have questions!! Take care man!
