Sofia Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 So tomorrow I shall join @Pedro for a trip around Portugal. Fingers crossed for not to much rain, many nice roads and plenty of great evenings chatting while enjoying good food and good wine!! I made 2 little videos while loading tge bike in the garage. Its not great quality, for sure no where near @Grasshopper's Ride cinematographic excelence!! Its just a little amusing rambling of my part. Its the first time I have ever done this and it shows! Anyway, its just me talking to you!! Thanks for watching! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Good effort on carrying the little bags with small volume this time. Like packing a donkey, I like it. Carrying an umbrella? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think your first time videos were fun. I would love to be getting ready for a trip right now, so be sure to share lots of photos from your travels. Have a safe and fun trip! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiss I would head north through British Columbia and into the Rocky Mountains. The valleys are filled with wild flowers this time of year as the snow has melted. I would wild camp in the forest and enjoy a few camp fires. ahhhhhhh I had a feeling you would say Pedro will take lots of pics, and I'm sure he will capture some lovely shots, but you have an eye for beauty too, everyone does. Don't discount your ability, I'm sure you will get some nice photos too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did it with her Dad, but I got styck in Germany... We still have many plans for Canada, she has a bike there permanently, so we will do it!! Now, wild camping... I did it last year for the first time, but no tent, just the car that is big enouth for a king mattress! It didnt go very well because a guy came after 10pm and started bathing in the dam nacked and dhowing his jowels in front of his headlights.... My dogs went bananas everytime they saw his daggling bits!! I just laughed very hard till it was all too dodgy and I left. Saying that, its less scary then a big bear!! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do make that trip to Canada, I would love to meet up and ride for a bit. Wow, I have been camping all my life and never had an experience like yours..... Which I am very ok with....lol I have had a bear outside my tent a few times, once I could hear the nose smelling everything and that was an interesting experience. Hope the start of your trip has gone well and the sun came out! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Wish I could do this - I always pack and load my bike about 7 minutes before take off time. Never sure I have all that I need. But always have the debit card ready to buy shit on the road that I forgot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the start of your trip has gone well and the sun came out! When you say "interesting" im assuming "worried"?! My friend Barbara, the one that goes to Canada riding, always wants to stop to photograph them, so I have told her Im not stopping abd I'll master all my skills to ride away as fast as possible!! The Sun as come out, but many showers as well. Its April, thats how it goes!! But beautiful landscapes and very remote locations with a lot of charecter. @Pedrofinds real jowels road wise and keeps taking amazing pictures. His images for BOTM will be tough to beat this time, many good choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
