Well done vanvan. I did wonder about the 55mph as had 68 down hill on my 125 back in the 90s. Great adventure. 👌 i can't help thinking your dad is there in your shadow. I ride with my daughter as my pillion and our shadow is very special to us both. Ride safe, Lady J Rider
The mighty Van Van did me proud!! It’s normal cruising speed is about 55, sometimes faster, sometimes slower depending on gradient, wind etc!! Thanks for your kind words. As you say, im sure dad was there with me as are your loved ones when you ride. Great to have you along for the journey. Take care 👍
I've got a Vanvan with a Blackwidow exhaust too, it is (was) way too loud. I have recently made an attempt (successfully) to quieten it down ...... a lot. I have filmed my procedure and I am just waiting to film a 'drive-by' clip before editing and uploading it. The original vanvan exhaust is just nice, respectfully discreet even, so I hardly know why people bother to turn them into noisy irritating machines. (Mine, like yours, came with the Blackwidow already fitted, so I had to sort it).
@@moto-coupe your vids are very well put together and an enjoyable watch. I've subbed and will look forward to more vids. Will you continue to post motorbike videos after your trip?
@@renegade1987 - ah thank you so much! I think so yes. This series is 19 episodes and I’ll probably do some kind of summary or q&a at the end. But yea I have a few plans for this year when the weather gets better. 😉 I’d like to keep it up. The channel has gone from nothing to 500 subs in 20 days so feeling super motivated to keep it up. 😎👍
Great first episode Jon!!

Really enjoyed the video Merry Christmas
Thanks matey!! Merry Christmas to you too!!
Good stuff,very enjoyable..look forward to watching your whole journey.(curious choice of bike for a big trip)..good luck,ride safe…
Thanks matey, glad you’re enjoying it. It’s a stoopid choice for a big trip, but therein lay the challenge!!! 😉
Love this . U have given me plenty of ideas about this trip can I just ask what camera your using . Cheers
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vid. I used a GoPro with Media Mod and a DJI Osmo Pocket. Still learning and made lots of mistakes on the trip! 😂
Mate I can relate to what you say. I lost my dad to cancer in 2017 and have been lost in the wilderness ever since.
It’s tough. Hits you like a freight train and I don’t think you ever get over it. Thanks for stopping by and watching the vid. Hope you enjoy!
