- Greetings UA-cam! Please join me as I ride my BMW R1200 GSA through countless hours of torrential rain on the final leg of my French trip from Dole back to Calais. Snorkels at the ready... it's going to be a wet one!
Fair play to you, some of us have done that from time to time, I feel it's as much a mental challenge as much as a physical one and so important to have decent kit on. Well done.
Thanks David! I see those rides as character building and they really make me appreciate the times when I’m blessed with a blue sky and sunshine! Either way, I still love it 😁
Fair play mate hardcore
Cheers my friend! Thanks for watching 😁
Just had week in France and a good soaking on the way. Was OK for the rest of the trip which is a first for me. Normally I have a deluge for the 300-500 mile ride home😂 Previous trip my waterproofs gave up do treated myself to some new ones and they held up well unlike my gloves. Took the wrong kit under the illusion that it may be warm and dry😕 Great vids👍
It sounds like we are kindred spirits; always at the mercy of the rain Gods! Good waterproof gear is so important and gloves rarely deliver... Last winter I bought some Knox winter gloves and they have been excellent - a little stiff at first but I have had dry hands ever since! Thanks for watching and ride safe!
Congrats on passing 300 subs!
Thank you!!
I’m off down there at the end of June doing route napoleon couple on nights in Monaco chamonix on way back .
Sounds fantastic, have a great time and thanks for watching!
Great film; great track @stevewinchandtheinception; looks terrifying riding on the motorway in that rain.
Thank you! It felt like I should have been in a submarine!! Thanks for watching 😁
Great vlog , but that was no fun for you.
A true biker gets drenched now and again ( get ya snorkels ready ) brilliant. ✌️
It was certainly a wet one! Thanks for watching. 😁
