Touring on a Suzuki gs125 part2

The editing on this half is a bit more brutal, but I ran out of time for youtube's 15 minute limit.

Please share this video if you enjoy it. It seems daft that a 30 second clip of a kitten can get millions of views, but these vids get hundreds. It takes an insane amount of time and money to make these films, and maybe if enough people find them interesting I can find a way to at least reduce the cost of them to me.

what a great video that was!! really enjoyed it!! you are a brave man doing all that on a GS? how was the rear sprocket after all those miles? and does the bike still run OK?

[onkudu]

@knoxieman Thank you. Yeah, the bike was fine afterwards. It still is now.

@knoxieman Thank you, but I don't think it's about bravery. It doesn't feel like an activity that requires any, it's just enjoyment. The sprocket was fine. Probably the original that came with the bike 20 odd years ago. Just keep oiling, and all is well :)

Good eggs, watched em both. Nice little series.

Where's next then? I'm just off for a couple of months around Europe :)

@svengalie Cheers Sven. Not sure about the next thing. I don't have time for any kind of substantial adventure at the moment, but I might try and do a quick evening under canvass to break in the new bike.

Rather jealous about Europe. I really need to do my bike test!

@CakeOfJaffa You are welcome bro. Hope you videos the trip for us. BTW. Mandelieu-La Napoule is where the French go on holiday to the South of France so it is really cheap and you don't get the rip off tourist prices. Oh yeah, just one downside to the camp sites. Some of their kharzis are UGH. Watch where you put your feet and don't visit in the dark without a torch. Great vids bro.

Fantastic video, really enjoyed it, looking forward to doing similar adventures on a 125..

@DumblyBrilliant Cheers for the tips mate, I'll look into it.

@CakeOfJaffa If you are going all the way south in France you may want to check out Mandelieu-La Napoule. It's fantastic. The sea is like a warm bath. There is a fantastic camp site there called, La Seagull. Worth a look. Great people the further south you go. I hitched it with a friend all the way from Cornwall. Met some great people who put us up in their homes despite us not speaking a word of French. If you are camping, try the sites run by the local councils. Dirt cheap and good.

I have been uo to Scotland many times. I even saw the sun there once. I met many of the inhabitants and killed them. Midges they were called. Ate a few thousand of them over the years too. Great film. Thanks Nathan.
