    Absolutely love the perspective of yours unfiltered. This gives out a great message to youngsters who are being tricked with fake social media. Coming to you, you’re doing great! Pushing yourself to the limits at the right age when you can. However, know your limits as well. When you know you’re the winner ❤ I hope your trip went well and all the best!

    Pozdravljen!
    Spremljam tvojo zgodbo in mi je všeč. Ima dušo. Vztrajaj! Zelo zanimivi posnetki, četudi niso tehnično včasih perfektni. Raje to, kot GS BMW z vso perfektno opremo in z manj entuziazma.
    Have a safe ride!

    That poor old XJ has been so loyal through so much. Do you think you'll keep it for a long time? Thanks for another great video, ride safe mate and take care, things can break but it's a successful trip if you can come home upright.

    • @FreeMilesMC
      @FreeMilesMC  Рік тому +7

      Thanks for the nice comment. Yes I will probably keep the xj forever. Because it has been an incredible machine till now that just keeps on running

    • @aspergerio
      @aspergerio Рік тому +4

      Good to hear, mate. I've still got my first learner bike, an old and very battered cb250. It still looks rough, but has been mechanically restored. Every new bike I've had runs rings around it, but we've been through a lot together, it's like an old friend. I was hoping you'd be keeping the XJ. It's clear that you've been through alot on it, and your videos seem as if you feel connected to it, too.
      Thanks again for the great content, super enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

    According to islandic traditions, you should sacrifice mead to Njörðr. Next time you have a pint, shout out his name. Good luck with that.

    So sorry to see your struggles with everything and particularly the wind - wow. It's such a shame you lost the windscreen extension. I have one on my XJ600 and it makes a huge difference to your comfort in deflecting the wind awayfrom you. Good luck on the next leg of your journey.

    • @FreeMilesMC
      @FreeMilesMC  Рік тому +7

      Well yes. Because I have one of those semi water proof iPhones form 5 or 8 years ago. And it’s usually amazing for travel because it has no problem with rain. But it was just so mutch water that it kept the phone from charging. Because water would get in to the charging port. So I put a condome over the phone. Because you can still completely use the phone tutch screen and everything but it’s completely protected from the water

      @@berTRAMP most of the bigger youtubers with their roadtrips have sponsors and stuff. this guy just works a "mediocre" job and likes to do these trips. i do agree with better preparing in terms of gear, but sometimes not everything in life is to be prepared for. new gear is really expensive, a side mount with suitcases for my sv 650 costs a whopping 800 euro for some quality stuff...

    G'day mate. Such a shame the weather turned in to complete shit and what can go wrong has gone wring.... Murphy's law... Ugh. Your the 2nd Motorbikevlogger I follow who's hit really shit weather. The other, Joe Ryan is currently touring around not far from me (Flinders Ranges and Kangaroo Island) and he's also had lots of rain, hail and very high winds. ua-cam.com/video/7-p5w1YT3_w/v-deo.html The other night it was blowing a gale and I could only imagine how much worse it would be down at K.I. Let's hope things look up for both of you... Cheers. :)
