Hi, I've seen all of your vids, amazing travel. Now if you don't mind, do you have some observation for the motorcycle to share? I mean, it's one cylinder - wasn't it shaky? What about a seat? I heard it's quite firm for long distances. Power? As you were equipped with expeditional stuff, did you have enough power, or fuel comsumption. I know, who would bother but still, good to know. Did you make any modification to your motorcycle like 12V plug,...?
@compprufus I've suffered weird electrical problems for the last few thousand miles but mechanically the bike is amazing. In fact I have nothing but respect for it, afterall its hauled my arse all this way!
@compprufus I don't find the bike shakey, the one cylinder has amazing power & reliability. No valve adjustments after 67,000 miles. The set is something else though, the one thing I wished I'd replaced before heading off. It is quite literally a pain in the butt! For modifications I have most listed on brainrotting com, take a look if you want to see what I did to prepare the bike
Fantastic! Followed you from the start & I have to agree with Rashnak66. Good on you mate. This was a great episode. I trust there will still be more to come. Are all the women beautiful down there or is that a result of your extensive editing? BTW, I also hope you had time to rid yourself of your tan lines/white albeit proud bum while in Mexico. He! He! He! ;)
Graham, I received the link and saved it to my computer. Thanks! Now I feel complete. Wyoming and Montana are wide-open and windy places with that truly American western flavor.
@Rashnak66 What a complement. You made me reflect and I think I agree with you about getting more involved with the cultures I pass through. Sometimes it takes someone on the outside to spot these kind of changes. I than k you
If you don't get an OBE or a Knighthood after this, then someone needs some serious bitch-slapping?! Congratulations, you've reached level 80....GOD MODE!!!
*You're a good man Graham; I hope to met you one day & buy you a beer? This has got to top all of your vids to date??!!! Good people making a difference, you can tell, because the kids are smiling ;-)
Fair weather & a safe journey mate; cheers & bloody well done!

Graham, I can understand now the reason for the lengthy delay since your last video. Seeing the school and the squalor those kids call home is effectively a gut- punch. I couldn't help but wonder if BMW would assist in a corporate sponsorship. Your videos have been a marketing marvel for them. They must know by now who you are?
@easyg1409 Heh, you know those Germans - humor challenged. On the other hand, maybe they were deciding what kind of chocolate you were referring to? Was that when your water pump died and BMW was less-than prompt in shipping a replacement?
@osimnod That might be it. It was something I've experienced through out the America's. They rarely stock parts and give a lead time of 3 weeks for importation, and then you pay 2 to 3 times the price for the pleasure. I learnt to rely on Motorworks in the UK in the end... nothing but good words to say about them
@easyg1409 Count on the Brits to see you through! BTW, I can't find your Episode 2 and I'm feeling out of sorts. Did it join Alice down the rabbit hole?
Graham...this is possibly your best ever video...fantastic!!!!...loved the opening with the children running to you...amazing story...well shot, well told...excellent interviews...and a very cute (and intelligent) blonde to add some spice...overall, just superb...I have made a $50 donation and wish you and the school all the best...the children deserve so much...please keep posting...Rob from Vancouver, Canada.
@RobKelly63 This video took the longest to put together. I got such great sound bites from the interviews it was easier to let them tell the story but I put soe serious hours into the edit. I'm really pleased as I'm sure Amy will be when I tell her that her good looks generated a donation! At least having seen the video you can see what a difference your money will make. Thank you
@tetekofa: Proves that you have taste sir, & that you don't have cataract of the eye....you're right though, she is a hottie! Just another one of the crosses that Graham has to bear...."beautiful women"....you've got to feel for him, lucky bugger LOL. Cheers.
i love your videos, ur so cool

@compprufus And finally, after those thousands of miles, how the motorcycle behaved.

great video! Your production values get better and better, I can see how you spent time on camera angles and sound editing.
As your trip has progressed I can see a change in you. At first you were a tourist but now you are a participant in the cultures you visit.

A truly well done, high 'production values,' stand out episode. I'm a bit dense, how does one make a donation from the USA?

@osimnod I think in one episode I refer to BMW as being "as useful as a chocolate teapot"... I think that put pay to any help from them. Oooops!
