Newfoundland is an amazing ride! You could ride all the way up!!

I live in Newfoundland, I need to bring up a bike my uncle is gifting me.@@TheDavidGoldmanphoto

you definitely need insurance when riding around Europe and going across borders. It's called a "Green-card"

@@TheDavidGoldmanphoto I meant to get the bike on the plane what kind of documents did you need?

@@Lebmourad9 Please read what i wrote above in the notes under the video. It answers all your questions :)

Sorry, I don't know anything about that.

PS. I went with Mosko Moto one same stuff, and way too much more LOL.

I have no issues with vibration, I use the Carpe holder which has rubber mounts. The unit sits tight without bouncing around at all. You would have to inquire as to how to mount it to your specific bike. Hope that helps.

Did you consider another device like a tablet (Active Galaxy etc). YOu could have if you're not using the DMD2 software. I think yours has MORE NITS for brightness in the sun etc too. @@TheDavidGoldmanphoto

@@kee7678 I did not consider another one. I started using DM2 but after a while, I figured it was not really needed so I stopped using it. I love it and have been very happy with it for my needs.

Thanks, Don, I'm trying!! I have a ton of footage so I'm looking forward to getting a bit better at editing and sharing more of the journey!

I feel the same about photographing you!!! and Ireland :)

Thanks for checking it out!!

Cool but is it all weather-proof? and vibration dampened?

Hi @AlexHkolev, sorry, I have no info on that kind of thing. My bike is a US-registered bike and I came from Canada so that wouldn't apply to your trip.

Thanks, hopefully, they will get better. I just finished editing the first video from Dublin. I'll post that in a few days. If you are interested you can join my substack to read along as well: thedavidgoldmanphoto.substack.com/

Hi @Kenjisan7970 if your bike is registered in the US or Canada then you will not need a Carne for Europe. You should be able to get a 90-day exemption for bringing in your bikes but definitely double-check all of that before booking flights. You will absolutely need "green card" insurance though. Hope that helps. Subscribe to this channel if you l ike as I'll be starting to post videos from the trip.

Hi@@TheDavidGoldmanphoto . Thank you so much for your reply! I'll look into the green card insurance and have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to your videos from your trip. Ride safe as always.

@@kenjisan7970 Thanks!!. I'll be dropping my first "official"' video from this past summer and I'm almost done editing the second. If you like you can also follow along on my Instagram: @thedavidgoldmanphoto or my Substack where I talk a lot about the trip substack.com/@thedavidgoldmanphoto?

Nope, not since I realized it’s really only an app over the main unit. Sure, it looks cool but I found it better to just setup my home screen with the apps I’m most likely to use (Calimoto, Google Maps, I-overlander) vs being forced to look at apps I don’t really use. I should also add that I was not able to sync my bikes settings(RPM,speed,temperature etc) with the DM2 so it seemed like a waste. If I was able to sync then I might have been a bit more inclined to stick with DM2.

Thank you. I'm only at the early stages of working in motion so my vids are not too good yet. But, yeah the Carpe is amazing. With the adventure controller and it in your field of vision it makes life a lot easier. Even easier if you are already in the Android world.

Hi 2Wheel4Fun, I have not done a video BUT I wrote an article about it in issue 87 of Upshift Online magazine: upshiftonline.com/blogs/magazine/upshift-issue-87-november-2023 in it I go pretty in-depth to what I ran into. As for your specific questions about customs/paperwork. the short answer is no, although when I landed in Ireland they did not know the rules about 90-day stays and exemptions etc. Same issue when I left from Paris to go back to Canada so my advice is that you FULLY know those rules and have a copy of them to show whomever you may need to either arrive without extra fees or leave with your bike. Hope that helps.

@@TheDavidGoldmanphoto Thanks for the speedy reply and looking forward to reading your article. I plan on flying it from Calgary to Rome this August. Thanks again for your help.

@@2Wheel4Fun Oh cool. Via WestJet? Rome in August ?? Wooohooo, that's going to be hot. Don't wear the adventure motorcycle snowsuit. You'll die. Let me know if you have any more questions. I learned a lot on this trip.

I am thinking about Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to Canada 🇨🇦 (Halifax). The riding across Canada to Vancouver then returning from there. Any ideas of rough costs for shipping the bike?

@@KGowans I'm not really sure, I can only tell you what my costs were: Halifax - Dublin June 3,2023 = Freight Charge CAD $1,700.00 Paris - Halifax Sept 5, 2023 = Freight charges EUR €2,950.00 Hope that helps but obviously you will need to contact West Jet for more accurate and up to date costs.

Yes, you can absolutely use it in N. America. OF course, you will need a SIM card in it or be able to hotspot from your cell.

Hi David. Thank you for clearing that up. As an avid motorcyclist and photography enthusiast I am thoroughly enjoying your multi-media portrait series. My 5 foot 4 wife just started riding again after a 15 year hiatus. Her bike is G650GS. As you can imagine when I got to Tammy Lewin, A.K.A. Mind Body Moto Girl, I jumped out of my seat to show her. She is now an avid follower of her adventures. We live in Honduras and its too bad we missed her on her way down. Thank you again for the technical help and inspiration.

@@Gushn Thanks for checking out the site!!! that is great to hear about your wife as well. In fact, I've photographed more than a few smaller female riders for the series and they are all as inspiring as the next. Check out the one on Megs_Braap or Ash Mhyre. Too bad you missed Tammy, she is a great person with such a positive attitude. Maybe I'll see you on the road someplace. David

Halifax - Dublin June 3,2023 = Freight Charge CAD $1,700.00 Paris - Halifax Sept 5, 2023 = Freight charges EUR €2,950.00 Hope that helps.

Using the phone as a hotspot makes total sense! However, I have an old At&t plan that is cheap, and as a result, they don't offer hotspotting :(

What mounts are you using? Vibration an issue seeing it? and in the sun? I have Tiger 900 Rally Pro, and wondering what system to get now...I go to Baja and all over SoCal etc.

@@kee7678 i use a damped quadlock mount attached to my Garmin mount with 3d printed adapter, vibes are fine, the phone is a Samsung a34 with 1000 nits brightness and ip64 rated for waterproofness, it’s been great so far

Happy to help.

The best way to get more info would be to go to the WestJet FAQ page but for international flights, you WILL need an agent. I used GSM. Here is the link: www.westjetcargo.com/en-ca/what-we-ship/motorcycles

@@TheDavidGoldmanphoto thanks

Hi James, thanks for taking the time to watch (I know it's a bit dry) and checking out the series. Your trip sounds amazing!! I've spent a lot of time in India and I love it so much. I wish you a great safe trip and a happy retirement.

I believe it will be paved in Labrador by this season but there are still plenty of KM's in Quebec that are not paved if I understand correctly.

Hey Steve, that is an amazing story!! and on a Goldwing!! I bet it was crazy to see up close at that time. It's not totally paved just yet so if you wanted some challenge to complete the circle I'd give it a go sooner than later. Thanks for sharing!!

@@TheDavidGoldmanphoto You don't know how right you are about, sooner than later, I'll be 70 y/o this year. LOL The spot I found the most fun was a deep valley with soft sand at the top, going down towards a crooked one lane wooden bridge, and immediately up the other side...not knowing what the surface was going to be like. Actually, that would be twice, because I had to return on that road. Although my objective was not successful, the ride was, because I didn't crash.

It's possible, I was distracted trying to stay alive. I'm amazed at the comments I'm getting for some swearing. I do give a heads up in the description.

Well to be honest, most of the days were pretty lonely but for whatever reason as I started on the gravel it was kind of busy.
