- Well, folks we are nearly back now, and what a cracking trip it has been, the weather has been amazing except for an hour or 2 on the last couple of days but other than that there really wasn't anything to complain about except the scorching heat haha we are British so have to complain about something.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Special brew ,now that was good stuff 😂
Haha used to wait outside off licence when we were kids for some1 to go in and get it for us 🤣
Faye our bodies want to live the dream but they decide otherwise sometimes . Keep happy riding 😊
Haha isn't that true 😅
They get brain fog when you get em wet Shaun!! Lady's I mean 😂😂all the best to you both in the bath in the pecos right now 😂😂
Haha don't they just 🤣🤣🤣
Blame the beer for itchy eyes🤣🤣
🤣🤣
So, when do you leave for Cuba????? 🤣🤣🤣
Haha hopefully 1 day 😅
Faye, definitely get yourself a sheepskin. If I could only keep one accessory I've bought, it would be my sheepskin. It hardly raises the seatheight...and probably doesn't after time. (I even used mine on my dining room chair when I was 'remote working' during COVID 🙂) (I see others have recommended Airhawks seat pads and similar, these increase your seat height and are a 'no no' for me, and probably are for you too. You'd be better off wearing your glasses over the contact lenses on the bike to be honest.... just sayin...👍
Yeah agreed we have loads of seat pads and some really expensive 1s as well although wasn't expecting to need 1 as never done big miles in hot weather , when i went to Scotland on it the weather was cool (feb) so defo looking into a sheepskin, as for glasses over my contacts absolutely not it's 1 or the other as hate wearing glasses on the bike at the best of times 🤣
@@TinsonTour Cuba is awesome Faye, I've been 4 times! Just make sure you get out and see the island. Jamaica is awesome too if you've never been.
Fake Ali express air hawk seat cover on my SX saves the sore arse when riding, only £10 or £12 on Ali 👌
We've got wildass cover air/gel just never needed it before but will definitely be using it on the next tour .. Faye
It’s very important to have summit niz and softishhhhh under da Swiss Roll 😂. No point in getting off the trusty steed 🏍️ and walking like John Wayne after getting off his big horse…
C U B A !!!!!! Why?
Seen it on an adventure channel and looks amazing
"It tastes like a school disco!!!!!!" that cracked me up.😁
Haha back in the day when we used to smuggle special brew into the school disco 🤣
We toured France last year and I agree there’s fuck all open anywhere mate. Got pissed off with ham roles in the end aswell 😂
Honestly was gasping for a brew as well
Cuba ain't that far. What's up with ya.😂😂😂😂
Haha honestly that's the 1st time she'd ever mentioned Cuba 🤣🤣
@TinsonTour couple of air tanks on your back . Sorted 🤷🤷😅😅
Grimbergen is lauded by certain beer drinkers in France, rather like Theakston's Old Peculiar in the UK (don't tell anyone, but I have two bottles brought over from the UK in my garage to celebrate the end of my diet). You learn to like it when it's the only beer available when visiting certain members of the family. You should have asked for _"cent soixante quatre"_ (1664) which is more like gnat's pee-pee.
If a town is busy in July & August, it's a holiday town. Otherwise it's closed as everyone's on holiday. 40% of France go on holiday in July and 60% in August and the half not on holiday does "sweet fanny adams" until everyone is back from holiday the last week of August (ish). Was it Thursday, 15th August? As that was a public holiday.
Last time I came to the UK on the bike, I used the back roads. Yes, it took a couple of hours or so longer but it was way more interesting. Unless you need to be somewhere in a hurry in France (same for most countries), switch off Toll Roads and Motorways on the SatNag way, way better even in the rain.
Instead of making the seat softer or getting a new seat, first try putting a coolcovers net on it (Google it).
Yeah we never have motorways or tolls switched on and luckily this year the mileage was approx 1k less so had time to explore a bit more , we've got a few seat covers at home just don't think Faye expected it to bother her as its the 1st time she's complained about it 😉
Hi Shaun + Faye, more stunning views riding through France, shame it's gone a bit grey and rain, bike are going well. Ride safe and catch you soon take care
Cheers pal yeah bikes were faultless 👍🏍
Bloody hell. I'm thinking you've got a backlog of videos they way you're punting them out this week. 👍
12:40 I lol'd, and then went back 5 seconds to watch it again 😂
As ever, the banter between you two is just fantastic. It's not hard to see how you got to another anniversary ❤
Oh, and a question: What comms do you two use? I'm looking at Cardo Edge at the moment, but not sure if that's too much or if having certain features may make it a little more future-proof.
Edit: Onward to Cuba😜
Yeah just trying to get the tour vids out the way as other recent vids are just sat there , we use cardo packtalk although we also use moman H2E which are brilliant and a quarter of the price
@@TinsonTour Thanks for the response. I'll give the Moman's a look.
Cuba is a must!!! It’s so beautiful with beautiful people ! We went to the south east and we loved it. Havana is more the north west. Thanks for taking us on the tour 😊
Gotta be honest would love to do Cuba but need a lotto win 1st but would be amazing
It wasnt too bad when we went but everything has gone up so much it’s expensive to go to Spain these days 😊
😂 "You could dip your custard cream in that" 😂😂
Haha was ok once i got the taste but Fayes sacked it off 🤣
Didn't Bodingtons do an ad with a line something like that?
Big mac in france, next KFC in Cuba, living the dream. Your current trip looks fantastic, very scenic.
Haha breakfast of champions 🤣🤣
McDonald’s in France?? The French always say they have a great disdain for “fast” food however I always have a chuckle that the most queued up food place is the Pret next to our Paris office.
Honestly every place we tried was closed so the old trusty McDonald's it was
You can by beer in McDonald's in France!
It's pronounced ren, like the bird, wren.
France is a great place. Enjoying your tour.
Cheers Peter it was a cracker 👍
