Trying To Find Peace In Motion (S2-E7)

We leave the coast and head North into Mercanteur National Park. We have racked up some pretty long days on this trip and had pretty little sleep most nights. There has been a lot on our minds, without being totally conscious of it … we have been running from it .

Great film the beauty of the countryside the freedom of the road and your honesty. The hardest part of being a dad is learning you can't take your kids issues away, but just being there as their father and loving them is the gift you can give. My thoughts are with you at this time.

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Thanks so much for the kind words .. Much appreciated

[@jamie66moto4]

[@MerrittW]

Beautiful scenery and beautiful sentiment. I hope Megan gets better soon. As a parent myself I understand 100% your concerns. Riding my bike is the most cathartic thing I do. I know it’s not mending what’s in my head but it sure helps to stop the pain in there for a while. Great video and thank you for sharing your experience 👍

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Thanks for that message, really appreciated.. Meghan doing real good . All out best to you

Not being able to control life’s challenges is so hard, your words about your daughter couldn’t have been put any better and I’m sure will resonate with so many people.

We hope and PRAY that your daughter Megan will recover fully! We hope too more and more people discover your channel! It’s nice that we can tag along and vicariously enjoy so many soul satisfying places. You two are absolute gems! The depth of who you truly are is displayed with every video. I absolutely appreciate the music you play that accompanies you along your way! May you two rest deeply and awaken each morning with a faint realization that while asleep you were being held in the arms of an angel.

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Thanks so much , such a beautiful message . Really is appreciated. Our daughter doing really well … best wishes from us all to you

Mark, Lisa, I was going to let you guys know how wonderfully & genuine you come across and that still stands but for now I want you to know you're in my thoughts & prayers along with Meghan. Please family & yourselves first with KZbin a distant second.

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Thanks so much for your beautiful comment , Lisa just read this and other comments to Meghan , she ❤️ loved all of them .. we have been doing family and nothing else for last 5 weeks … she was in hospital 3 weeks and we all spent every day there in London .. she home recovering now and doing so well .

[@gutsy.trails.adventure]

Another banger of a road trip video! Thx! Makes me want to start up the ol' Africa Twin and just ride to the end's world ;-) Real nice and honest talk/rambling there, having a daughter ourselves I definately feel your worries. Wish you all the best mate! Agree on the mental aspect of riding a motorcycle. I do my best thinking when I ride. and can leave everything out and just focus on "the mechanical aspect of the moment", and deal with one thought at a time. Get it sorted. No other "noises" than from my machine. Lovely. Here's something to get you to think of something else. I (the camera) picked up a slight rattle from your bike, mostly audible at very low speeds, and when coming to a stand still, you noticed it? Appears to come from the right side.. also sound "clutch like"? Well it's probably nothing, but something might needs tightening?

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Many thanks … and riding to the end of the world … what a great idea ! The rattle is exhaust covers .. they were loose . Cheers pal

[@robertdaley1194]

No Boursin et Pain et Vin ?🇫🇷⚜️😊Bon Nuit .

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

No , it’s all we had in the pannier haha had to make do

[@Fradant123]

Great Bike ! Enjoy the road ! Enjoy the Road King Special !

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Many thanks 🙏

[@bolton737]

Great Vid Mark, firstly I hope Meg is on the mend? I struggle with my mental health especially the last few months it’s been off the charts that’s why we did our trip the other week. Can’t make out if you went through the Darius Gorge which was near the town of Entrevaux ( citadel town) you went through. We ended up at the pharmacy there last year when my wife left all her insulin in a hotel fridge in Aneccy, lucky for us they had both types😮. Pity you did not head to the Verdon gorge which was not to far from where you were. Still you hit some great roads and views . And if you need to talk mate I’m your man.

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Thanks so much .. Meghan doing , stronger every day .. be a long recovery but she is a warrior . We have no idea where we went haha , Verdon Gorge been on my hit list for years been close a few times then got sidetracked..: we were not thinking a great deal at this point of this ride , too much on our minds . Wow you guys were lucky to find that insulin so quickly , good to hear that went well . Hope you feel good after ya trip last week . Photos were great . Big love to you guys .. Hope to cross paths one day

[@allandrennan4916]

Spraying your sky's as well.

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

There’s a filter on photo yes .. if that’s what you mean ? But we was pretty lucky with weather for March

[@tommongan2750]

🙏🙏🙏

[@stevemears7134]

I just want to echo the other guys here. I also have three girls and they never leave my thoughts. Biking is essential respite tbh. I hope everything goes well for Megan and I’m sure it will. Hoping to bump into you guys on tour someday. Take care 💪🏻🏍x

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

That’s real kind of you Steve … we appreciate taking time to write . She doing great… best wishes from my lot to your lot . Thank bro 👊

[@Roadkill111]

Hope your daughter is alright.

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Thank you 🙏 Long way to go with recovery but she now post operation and bit by bit getting stronger .. she had two in the end .. bravest girl ever .. but bouncing back . Best wishes to you

Nice roads 👌🏻i’d be very surprised if you guys have not heard of scooter tramp scotty ! 🙂👍🏻

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

I just looked him up .. I’ve never seen his videos .. but just subscribed, but reading the description.. I heard him on a podcast interview once .. but cheers for that .. Right up my street

[@panam13stx]

Hi, hope every thing went well for your daughter. You must be one of the best normal honest couples on here to follow .That road looked so good to ride on & them hairpins looked tight . We must be about the same we have a RKS and we both work hard for what we have . we cant wait to get away in a cpl weeks time & this will be our first trip on the RKS. Do you use the go pro editor for your videos ?

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Thanks so much for kind words . Our daughter doing really well thank you . Those hairpins really were tight and the gravel and steepness just don’t come out on footage . Hope you guys have a great time away on the trip !! Enjoy ! No I don’t use the go pro editing app , I use ‘Final Cut’ on laptop . I only started using it when we done our first video last summer Sicily trip . I’m learning slowly , just feeling my way .

[@eddale5557]

Not much peace with that sound lol!

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Haha

[@dancarroll4904]

At 0:35, how close was that over take? That looked like a good butt clencher/

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

Been waiting for this comment …. It was a few inches …. I clenched for him . Must have been an Italian !

[@dancarroll4904]

​@LeanIntoTheWind ha! He was feeling like a spicy meatball that day! All jokes aside, glad they didn't collide. Would've been a mess
