WTF? I've slept in the car many times as you know. Old Sharan was far better than a tent, even better when the seats are out and a mattress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand if you're on a long trip and don't want to pay for a hotel, but why would anybody choose to do it for no logical reason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logical reason is getting away from everyone to get a break from the mundane life most people have, i bet your boy would love to do something like this if the fat munter would let him if anyone needs it it's him 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I slept in an Opel Astra a few times, and a VWGolf, it’s shit. I did it because I got lost in norway and wasn’t carrying a tent. Also slept a power nap in my racecar a few times, driving through the night, in a race bucket seat, that was properly miserable but not as miserable as when a passenger in my brother’s car, that made me want to stop living. On a bike in winter I like hotels with hot shower, a cozy quiet bed after a warm meal and wine. Covered shelter for the bike is advised but not mandatory 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I’ve seen the Japanese videos of them winter camping on motorcycles, they set up a tent, a stove, and then proceed to cook a 5 course meal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I used to walk with a mate. Derbyshire, Dorset to name a couple. We'd cook on gas stoves, eat in pubs, it was great fun. Not sure these old bones would cope so well now. RIP Ash. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The only time I've heard a real cuckoo was when I was wild camping near Bala in Wales. You won't get that experience in your Ford Transit or a Premier Inn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he was trying out a his kit for a upcoming trip to see if he had missed something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motobiker Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Its not so much what he's doing.. going camping. that makes me laugh at videos like this. its the faff he has gone through to actually make this particular video. just as an example.. these scenes of him riding down some road, or turning at a junction. just think of what he's had to do to get that shot. finds a view. sets up his camera. rides back the way he came and then rides the road again to get the shot. possibly doing this two or three times to get it right. And then all those shots of him getting ready to leave.. how long did it take him to film all of that. there's a reason I do not have a camera to film my trips.. and this is it. I would hate to get caught up to the point that I would go through this kind of bullshit to produce a video. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be in cases like this it's all about the video.......the time spent doing all the work for that must be way more than the actual riding itself. I don't know how much these guys can earn from YouTube.......maybe they make a mint on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much these guys can earn from YouTube.......maybe they make a mint on them? I don't think that chap is making much with just 10K subscribers, 100K maybe. I suppose from his point of view the better quality stuff he does the more chance he has of making a living at it eventually. Like anything in life you gotta work hard to be very successful. I like this guy, his videos are quite long and to some boring but I enjoy his choices and what he does, I like to dream I could do it, but in reality I may have the woodworking skills but nowhere near the mental discipline he has. But he has stuck at it and with 2,000,000K subs he is probably making a fair income from YouTube. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. all these angles of shots setting up his bike, did he have multiple cameras or did he rewind and move the camera here and there then spend hours cutting and splicing the videos afterwards. (probably) I wonder how many times he actually packed and repacked his bike. it wasn't just a single take. probably took hours. I imagine all the faff recording the trip from leaving his house to arrival at the campsite. plus all the post production - hours spent in from of his computer editing added up to much longer than the time actually spent 'doing it'. so much for spontaneity. Much quicker perhaps if he had someone with him, but I suspect not. he did this entirely on his own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
