Pia was a strong and caring woman. She really did save his life. It saddens me that her life was so short.
That is true! She was really amazing! 💜
@@RidetheBean Thank goodness you have these videos to help keep her memory alive
Oh my god, knowing some more, i have to cry so badly!
🙂
This guy is actually very mentally strong. Just saw the recent video. So very sad.
So sorry for your lost R.I.P Pia she was a guiding light for both of you and her life will continue to shine as your story touch so many people Please continue to share your your guys story and please continue to share your road of healing..
I feel that, most of the UA-cam videos shows always only the good & great but even when this was something bad it show a new part of how to react how to do in case of and accident, Pia managed that area great, Kenneth going through all this show us the important of never give up and that life comes with strong moments and great moments soca great experience even with all the hard you guys are doing great and getting strong & strong
Thank you 🙂
Yeah that is true. Most travel videos only shows the positive sides of traveling. That is great and what most people probably wants to see. But we figured we would try to be as honest as possible and show what happens on our journey, whatever that may be.
Pia was amazing, and really got to put her training to good use.
This was a valuable lesson for the both of us. Hopefully other people can takes omitting away too 🙂
I think that this videos will teach us first to get calm and have the best reaction in adrenaline moments I’m really happy that Kenneth is doing so well and 5 months for spring are nothing just more time to get better and the bikes get even better the road is long but the goal is there
When you guys get back on your bikes and continue with your adventure you should both invest in a motorcycle air vest. This will protect your spine, thorax and abdomen. The Helite one is activated by a tether connected to your motorcycle. If you come off a gas cylinder inflates the vest. Would have been a huge help to Kenneth in this accident. Great channel guys and have a speedy recovery.
That is a good idea. I have thought about it, but don't. really know much about them. I guess I should have something that could help protect my stomach. I can't take another hit.
thats fantastic there is such a thing i never heard about those before
Great to see Kenneth looking better. You're looking better in this video too, Pia. Best wishes for a full recovery for Kenneth's digestive system. Great positive attitude!
Feeling better every day 🙂 But the digestive system will always be a bit different. Much less space for waste storage 😝
As a nurse I want to
Make shirts to give out to my patients that says “yay I pooped today”
Haha, nurses united love it when their patients poop! It's so much better than the alternative 😂 Me, I would wear that t-shirt with pride but not sure about Kenneth 😂
Me as a male nurse: Let's poop together😂😉
Eric the Electric
The way pia looks at you kenneth is heartwarming, True love right there folks.
❤️
Take it guilt got to Pia in the end?
@@williamrae9954 It is really such a sad thing that has happened.
@@williamrae9954 Guilt for what? The accident wasn't her fault and she took care of him all the time he was in the hospital
@@williamrae9954 we shouldn’t assume anything so simple about Pia, because we don’t know her life story. If anything played a part from this experience in her final decision, it may have been that she had lost control over the situation. Kenneth mentioned that she felt like she had to be in control of a lot of things in her life and the crash was something that she couldn’t avoid - lost control of something in her life.
You can clearly see her emotions coming through when she talks about the crash and how she couldn’t notice the gap thus blaming herself a lot in the previous videos.
I’m assuming all of this because when she talked about other stuff that usually would make most people emotions come through, she stayed stoic, and as soon as she starts describing the crash it all comes out.
Of course the crash itself is also very traumatic and could have been just that, but I don’t know why I just felt a strong urge to say my piece here and I don’t want to sound off like I know her or whatever.
God damn haven’t cried like this in a while for a stranger. Seems like Pia was such a nice person & I hope you Kenneth will stay true to your word and take one day at a time, even if our society makes it hard to do so on a daily basis.
Ken & Pia
Best wishes from Canada.
This is my first time I’ve ever made a comment on UA-cam as I’m kinda an introverted fellow I guess. But your story has inspired me to post here.
I found your video yesterday but before finishing it went and found earlier ones and went through your challenging story. I honestly had a very poor sleep last night thinking about you guys so was very glad to see this new update this morning where seems to be great progress in your recovery.
Man, if I ever crashed I sure would hope to have someone like Pia with me.
She is definitely your angel Ken.
I’m subscribed and will be following your adventure. If you end up in Canada, welcome eh.
Good luck guys.
Good job on your 1st comment & congratulations 👏. But what's important here is their story - Pia IS his angel & together they can make it.
I'm sorry you lost sleep over this, and I get it. It's nerve wracking !
I know the feeling. I am also a very introverted person and never used to comment or make statements publicly until we decided that we need to try to get out of our comfort zone. That was the whole reason we started this cannel in the first place. To force ourselves to be more uncomfortable. And it has really paid off. Getting all these comments from you all has meant so much to us and I am now much less afraid of doing or saying something in public forums.
Than you for commenting on our video 🙂
Sorry that we ruined your sleep. That was not our intention😔 But know we are getting better every day, so no need to worry 🙂
I am so happy Pia was with me. Without her that would have been the end of me. I would have felt too stupid to call the ambulance and would probably just have fallen asleep there and bled out. She is a true lifesaver 😛
Thank you for subscribing. By Spring we hope to be back on the road again and heading south.
Thank you 😊I agree with you. If angels existed Pia would absolutely be one 😛 But even better, she is a nurse 😝
That was a good first comment indeed.
@@RidetheBean Pia is an angel now. RIP!
Keep up the good fight, Kenneth and Pia! Rooting for you both! No matter the path forward your bond together is what keeps you moving.
Thank you 😊
We are lucky to have each other 🙂 And e will continue to grow together 🙂
Well said, Keith -
Best wishes from North Carolina USA. Hoping your recovery is swift. Keep a positive outlook.
Thank you 😊 trying to stay positive and work towards being able to leave again in spring 🙂
I just discovered your channel, randomly looking at T700 reviews... I seldomly comment, but this....wow. Subscribed, that's for sure. Well, I wish you both all the best, fast recovery and I hope you get to ride to Cape Town soon. Good luck!
Thank you, and thanks for subscribing 🙂 We are both getting better and hope to be back on the bikes to head towards Africa when spring comes and the snow melts.
Finally the sticker was removed 👍🏼 It looks so much better now.
So we both had our river experience this year and we're both still here. I'm glad to see Ken is on a good way and that the team goes on. All the best to both of you, Bernd
I have to disagree there 😝 I liked the stickers. It was mean to remove them when I could not do anything about it😝
Rivers can be tricky, but I have learned through this experience that it is better to try to drive across them than to jump them 😝
Nice seeing you guys smile and fool around. The bottom sticker was the worst, really had to go XD. Kenneth you are lucky to have found a partner that is there during the bad times. Sadly, in this current world, this is not always a given. Remember, better days are on the horizon just a little more patience. Best wishes from Germany!
Thank you 🙂
You are right. I feel very lucky to have her in my life. But I still feel it was cruel to remove the sticker when I was in bed unable to do anything about it 😝
@@RidetheBean I am sorry, I did enjoy it. I have been anti-sticker the moment I saw you wearing that cap. She left you the top one, so she did have some mercy for you. How are you now?
I have been very impressed by both of you. Having had a couple of serious crashes in the last 5 years, and a supportive wife also in the medical field, I understand how much you rely and appreciate each other. I also appreciate your determination to keep riding and restart your journey. Goals are so important. I’ll also share that on the Trans American Trail 6 years ago I the middle of a desert, going at a good speed at the last minute I saw a ditch in the road and grabbed the brakes in time to barely make it through safely. Your story brought that fear back to me instantly. I am sorry you have both gone through this, but I can’t help but notice you both seem to have come through this stronger,but more importantly, your love has become even more strong. Best wishes on the continuation of your journey, AND your love story!
Thank you 😊
Having a partner who is trained for how to deal with similar situations has been incredibly valuable. Especially the first few days after waking up from the coma. Having someone there who is able to actually describe what is going on and why was so helpful.
You are right. Goals are very important. This goal we have worked on for too long to just give up now. Give us a few more months and we will be able to continue 🙂
Hope you and your wife are doing OK after your accidents.
The TAT seems very exiting. Would love to ride it at some point 🙂 But I guess it is also a lot like the TET wit h a lot of unexpected things popping up.
Thanks for sharing .
That was quite an unexpected adventure you guys had , so glad you made it home safely . Thank god for Pia, what an angel she was - and is … Rest In Peace sweet Pia . ❤️
✌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸 A good poop should never be underrated ‼️🤣
😂 that is true
Glad to see you are recovering well. Stay strong !!!
Thank you 😊
You two are amazing! I cant believe how strong you two are!
Thank you 😊 We don't really feel that strong... But we made it through at least 🙂
Good to see you up and moving - keep growing the positive attitude!
Feeling better every day 😛
nice to see you in a positiv mood. hope you both is riding again soon.
We’ll be back on the bikes by the time the snow melts in Spring 😛
At least you got a shave, looks good! Glad you're doing well and recovering.
Yup, all of a sudden it was gone! Step by step now ❤️
it is what it is .. ;-) wise words
good to see him making progress.
Grateful for every sign of progress! ❤️
Thankyou for the update on your conditions. You're inspiring. Keep fighting the good cause. Keep improving. We'll keep praying for you.
Thank you so much, Alan! ❤️
Glad to see you smiling Kenneth. 🤗 wish you well with your recovery. Love to you both from Britain. 🇬🇧
thank you 😊 feeling better every day 🙂
So good to see you on the mend! Sending positive vibes your way from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada!! Get well and be safe
Thank you 😊 Feels good to be able to move around freely again 🙂
Keep strong Kenneth and really good to see you up and about !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 😊 I feel a lot better 🙂
Be strong guys, you are doing amazing. Send very good vibes for you
Thank you 😊
Good to see you get better Kenneth, keep strong and continue recovering💪, all the best to you both!
Thank you! ❤️
Just want to wish the both of you well. Thank you for sharing this, helps make one think about what is important. Best of luck and get well soon.
Thank you 😊 We mostly filmed this for our own sake, to be able to look back and see what actually happened, but figured it could be good to share as well 🙂 We learned a lot from the experience, maybe others can too.
Bless you both 👍❤️
Thank you ❤️
Welcome back! ❤️🤗
😝Thank you 😛
Great to see your on the mend.... You are a perfect couple and I wish you all the best.
Thank you 😊 feeling better every day🙂
Looking much stronger big man, good to see. Just consider yourself in for a service, like the bikes. Change of fluids and spanner check to tighten the loose bits and pieces.(Cappuccino and latte? Did the bikes ever get names?) We all need maintenance and the odd repair, do we not?
By the time you are ready to travel the World will be open again, we hope. So you timed your maintenance break well.
Time for another nutty bean coffee here. I have become addicted and cannot function without it. Intravenous is a real possibility!
Vision up, heads up. Happy travels await.
I feel much stronger too 🙂 It is nice to finally be able to move around as I want 😛
That is a good way of looking at it 😛 I just needed to do some maintenance on my engine😝 Remove parts of a damaged exhaust pipe 😝
I really hope the borders will open by the time spring comes! It would suck to again be ready to leave and be stopped by closed borders...
Glad you like the coffee 🙂 Right now we are aurally out of the nutty bean, but on Monday next week we get more 😛 Our roaster Adrian is about to open a new part of his roastery and actually purchased the roaster that I used to work on. We will pay a visit to his new place when we feel a bit better and he is ready for visitors.
I think Pia could benefit from intravenous coffee 😝 She drinks coffee until it squirts out of her ears!
I think I've had enough needles in me for a while now, so I'll pass on that 😝
@@RidetheBean hahaha....great metaphorical description(or wasn’t it - ahh don’t mind me I’m just a fool!). Glad to see you healing well. Our bodies have an amazing ability to heal. You’ll be jumping up and down like a jackrabbit in no time.
Really heart warming to see this video. Happy for you both very much. When I see the emergency services and the health system and people who work in that system it is very comforting. We are all so lucky to have such sophisticated health care available to us. Looking forward to the next video.
Yes, we are very fortunate with our access to emergency services. Thanks for sticking it through with us =)
I wish you both a quick recovery after this tragic incident. This has affected me more than anything i've seen on youtube. Seen you two so happy to start you journey and for it to end that way (for now?) Get better wishes from sweden!
Thank you so much, Petta! We are already doing much better, and are dreaming of continuing our journey in the spring =)
Glad to see your fantastic recovery !
Don't get sad, winter will pass and without pushing too much, maybe next summer you will continue the big adventure ;)
Get well with patience, the bike will wait for you !
That is the goal. We hope to leave when the snow melts. For now we are just trying to get back to our regular selves 🙂
just commented on Ep4, glad to see you 2 doing the well... amidt the circumstances. much love to both of you
Thank you 😊 Eery day we feel better and better 🙂
Glad to see it's going better and back home or nearly, be positive and you will be 100% soon, and back on the bikes, keep well you two
That is the goal 🙂 Can't wait for spring to arrive 😛
Stay positive you guys. You've come a long way already Kenneth, you got this!
That is true. Can't stop now 😛
The gratitude and appreciation you have for one another is beautiful. I'm following your journey and continue to pray and keep you in my thoughts. Stay strong you two. Sometimes unfortunate things happen in this journey called life but it's all about how you handle it. Keep your positive mindset and you'll be back on your bikes in no time 🙏🏼 💌
Thank you for your kind words! We're working on getting through it. Things are looking a lot better now, fortunately! ❤️
So glad to hear things are moving in the right direction. Literally and figuratively. One step at a time and you will reach the end. Looking forward to the day you both can ride again.
Yeah it feels good to finally be able to mov around a bit. Still getting better every day and we are on track to leave again in spring 😛
Get well soon ken 👍.
Thank you 😊
From America. Just want to say get well soon. Praying for you. Hoping for a full recovery.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Jeah ... Head up, chest out ... you are "Team ride the bean".
I'm sure that you managed these fuxxxxx shity times.
🤘😉👍
As an old biker i know what you are going through through experience and luck i have survived (and good Dr,s) get well soon all the best and ride again.
Glad you are OK today 🙂 I guess these things are to be expected when riding motorbikes. But it is worth it 🙂 So thankful for everyone who helped me get through all of this 🙂
Great to see you getting stronger and with a healthier face Ken and also Pia smiling again and finally getting her way with the stickers. Keep it up guys and keep strong. One day you will get back on the bike and take us all on a memorable journey to Africa. Big hug of best wishes!! ❤
It feels good to finally be able to move around a bit 🙂 Every day we feel better and better. I have to say I think it was mean to remove the stickers when I was unable to do anything about it 😝 But I guess she deserved that after saving my life 😝
We can not wait to get back on the bikes! Every day we get closer to the day we can ride again 😛
You are a strong guy and have a wonderful wife. Keep thinking positive and this will be only a story to tell from yours adventures. You both will have more good storys and adventures and we will follow all of them. Keep riding the beams! A big, big Hug from Portugal! All the best! 🤗✌️
Thank you 🙂
She is wonderful 🙂 I feel very lucky 🙂
You are right about that. All bad experiences fade with time. We just have to use this as a lesson 🙂
We'll be back on the bikes soon 😛
Hey guys, thanks for posting your progress...Kenneth i am in awe of your resilience, its a tough journey but you are definitely on the mend, physically and mentally. And Pia as ever you are amazing, you really are! Keep the videos coming...it's great to hear your news 😀. Massive hug! 🤗🤗 Cheers, Steve
Thank you for watching 😊 glad you like the videos 🙂 Hopefully we can get back to making travel and motorcycle videos again soon 😛
An amazing journey! Take care of yourselves and stay safe! By the way... Kenneth, take the stickers off the cap! Lol.. Really, the stickers are ok if you want the stickers!
A very different journey that was t we set out to do, but hey...that is what adventure is all about 😝
The stickers are not really that big of a deal, but they really annoy Pia, so I really want to keep them 😝😂
I think the stickers keeping the stickers is pretty amusing. I say keep them if want them! Hope you’re feeling better every day.
It's good to see you improving Kenneth. Pia you are a star. Spring will soon be here so glass half full guys.
That is true! We just have to look forward 🙂
Behind every strong man is an even stronger woman. You are both amazingly inspiring. Hopefully my RtB coffee will arrive soon so I can enjoy it with the next video. ❤️
Can't wait for you to have your coffee! =) Hope you'll like it as much as we do ❤️
So glad to se him up and abaout. hope for a fast recovery now. Much love from sweden
We're so grateful of the progress =) Thank you!
@@RidetheBean
Your story is truly heartwarming. I myself get emotional watching these videos of you guys. It felt horrible to watch the accident and the trauma you guys are going thru, but it is also a lesson in life. Thanks for sharing this. It makes me really impressed to see how you both are handling the situation and coping. The love ❤️ is just amazing 😻 Take care 🤗
Thank you for the kind words ☺️
It was a big lesson for us. Maybe some one else can also learn something 🙂
Despite the hurdles you both have ahead of you it is great to see your faces in the camera, and to know that you are both on the mend. There is still a whole big world out there for you to explore, so that is something to work towards, so please continue to grow more positive. Looking forward to more posts.
That is true 🙂 We still have so much of the world to see, and we will get to see a lot more of it when we heal up 😛
Maybe the most real video on youtube now. Best wishes, and thanks for being willing to post the whole story. All of us who do this stuff know deep down inside this is a reality. it takes a lot for both of you to willing to share all of this. Best wishes, and hopefully you will get back on the road when the time is right.
Wow! Thank you 😊
We didn't really think of it as a big deal. We wanted to document our journey, and this happened during it, so it was only natural to post it 🙂 But it was a bit embarrassing 😊
But you are right, this could easily happen to anyone. So if anybody can learn something from this that would be great, but if not at least we learned a lot ourselves 😛
good to know that you're getting well. it was frightening looking at you injured in the water and alone in the immensity, you know. amazing how pia managed to kept her cold blood and eased rescue people find you. btw astounding job of the health care services, big hooray for them too! both of you make a lovely couple. thanks for sharing. regards from far far south (argentina)
Yeah without Pia I would not be here today. And we agree. We are so thankful for the Norwegian health care system and all the people who helped us. Wee are lucky it happened in Norway and not in Africa.
Yay for the poop!!
And take off the damn stickers!
Very glad to see that you are on the mend.
Look forward to you continuing your journey.
I didn't realise how big of a deal the first poop is when you are in a hospital 😂
The stickers annoy Pia, so they should stay on 😝
Feeling better every day. Can't wait to keep going!
Well Kenneth, I have to say I m amazed at the rate of your recovery, and with youth, strength, determination and that beautiful, amazing woman by you side, all will be ok. My very, very best to you both and thank you for keeping us informed. Regards. John
You know what... I think you're right 😝 I have been very lucky through all this and would be stupid if I didn't continue😛
Best wishes and speedy recovery guys ♥️♥️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏍🏍
Thank you 😊
Flying first class mate, nice... 😀 Really good to see you recover so well. First poop are a good sign in my work 😀.
hehe yeah that was my first time as the VIP passenger on an airplane 😝 Service was excellent.
If you are not a nurse I am not sure I should ask what you do for work? 😝😂
@@RidetheBean 🤣🤣🤣 yeah lm a nurse
Stay strong guys, esp Kenneth 💪💪.....I've spent many weeks in hospital due to m/c accidents so far in my life and staying mentally strong is absolutely vital. You'll soon be out and about on 2 wheels soon 👊✌
Thanks 🙂
Yeah there is not much else to do. It is too boring not to try to get better 😝 By Spring we will be back to our adventure 🙂🏍
You look great Kenneth!
Thank you 😊
Your first poop! Congratulations. That is a milestone. That's great news that your bikes survived. Your trip will still happen. You just have to keep on keeping on. Tearing that sticker off almost felt like pulling off a bandage. Funny. Stay strong you two. I feel comfortable saying, "Love from Gord." Kelowna, British Columbia
😂yeah, it starts to build up after 7 days😝
We will hopefully be able to continue the trip when the snow melts in spring.
It was mean tearing off the sticker when I could not do anything about it 😝
Hello Ken and pia.i love u both
Iam happy to see Ken more and more to be ok❣️❣️❣️💪👍
Hi Ari! Thank you so much for the love. Kenneth is doing a lot better now ❤️
Hi Pia and Kenneth, I just came across your channel and watched your adventure episodes 1 - 5 back to back. I am now an emotional wreck!
Pia you are an inspiration, you have such a calm, kind and caring nature, the Norway Health Service is so lucky to have you. I also work for the NHS in the UK (nearly 30 years now) and I see every day how dedicated our medical teams are and I'm so glad to see that the care Kenneth has received in Norway is excellent.
As a fellow motorcyclist I feel for you both, that was a nasty accident and Kenneth is so lucky he had such a capable co rider, before my current hospital role I used to work for the London Ambulance Service and it is rare to see someone deal with such a bad situation so efficiently.
I'm so glad to see Kenneth is well on the road to recovery and he has the advantage of a first class Nurse to help him on his way. You two have something very special and it's so good you have found each other, I have subscribed and I'm looking forward to your next update, I hope you are back riding very soon Kenneth but take it easy, no more river rides!
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words. I can't imagine all the things you've seen and learned working 30 years in the NHS! And in the London Ambulance too. Next episode, coming tomorrow, will have some motorcycle riding in it again ❤️ We´re trying to stay out of the rivers ❤️
Well first let me say it was good to hear you have had your first ablution naturally ,better than through the side of your stomach, secondly you are a lucky man to have Pia by your side together you will lick this temporary set back, thirdly thank god Pia got rid of that sticker on the cap , take care the both of you,
Thanks! There are so many things we don't appreciate until there's a problem. Cool, another vote for no sticker! =)
Rest and recover. Stay strong!!!!
Thanks 😊
wow wow wow nasty experience at all I hope and wish you both strong and soon a fully 100% health recovery and see you both soon on the T700’s! Stay strong!
Thanks 😊 We are getting better every day. Hopefully we will be back to normal again in spring so we can continue our journey 🙂
That was a pretty nifty plane you got to ride in !!
Hehe yeah, my first time in a bed on an airplane 😝
Take good care of yourselves..... don't rush ... Health comes first ..... I am glad that you're on your feet towards recovery....💪...stay determine ..🤟🇲🇾...cheerios
Thanks 😊 We both feel better every day and cant wait for spring to come so we can continue our trip 😛
@@RidetheBean Don't worry the ride will come and I'm patiently waiting for the borders to be open again. Being said, everywhere now is in chaotic state. Protests, decease, elections and so on. Just when our world will be in peace I wonder. So nice if every continent is border entry free itself like in Europe...👍
In times of adversity unimaginable strength comes to show. I'm sure you'll get through this and can't wait to see you back on the bikes.
I don't really feel that strong. I didn't really have much of a choice in how things turned out. But I do feel very lucky that I got through it relatively quick. In Spring, when the snow melts we will be back on our bikes heading south once again 😛🏍
@@RidetheBean I guess you do what you have to in such a situation - haven't been there luckily even though I've ridden for about 15 years. Get well soon and if your trip takes you guys near my town in North Denmark don't be a stranger - I'll treat you guys to a lunch or whatever you need.
The emergency services look very impressive. Keep up your strength :)
They are a bunch of very skilled people whose job we don't admire :)
LOL, I forgot to congratulate you on your first poop since the accident in the last video. Again, best wishes on healing up. Pia, you are awesome in looking after Kenneth. Kenneth, the lights are back on behind your eyes and you look so much better in this video. There is a lot more coffee to drink and dreaming/working towards the spring and future rides. As a new subscriber, I look forward to your tentative coffee date with the woman you met in the hospital, I wish her well in her own recovery from whatever happened to her.
😂😂 Yeah that was a big moment for all the nurses who were there 😂 They somehow seem to love when patients poop 😂
I feel a lot beter here as well, and still feel better every day🙂
Thank you for subscribing🙂
I really hope we get to connect with her and go for a hike. She seemed like a great person with the same love for nature as we have 🙂
@@RidetheBean My Mom was a nurse, I know the type. 😉 Very glad to hear of your improvements.
Nice to see you both doing better, you live to ride another day! When everything seems impossible and hard, remember that someone is having it even worse. In away you got lucky in your accident, it could have happened somewhere else, some place so remote and on a foreign country where help or healthcare is not as good as you have in Norway.
That is true! We get to try again. We were very lucky 🙂
We always try to think that way. There are always someone worse off than us so we can't complain 🙂
Glad to see the progress! Are the local authorities going to put up some sort of warning or barricades?
Not likely. There is a dispute about who is responsible for the road, and until someon3e claims responsibility nothing will be put up. If someone does put something up they automatically accept responsibility for the road. So not like anything will happen anytime soon.
Stay positive guys and focus on small wins for the time being. It’s easy to get discouraged if one looks at what he can no longer do at the present time. Things will get better, perhaps slowly, but you will ride again, and it will be even better because of what you have gone through together. Pia, I see the stress on your face at times, and it comes through the video loud and clear. I cannot imagine how hard and scary these times must be for you right now, and I wish you the best. Don’t forget to take care of yourself so you can be there for Ken. Ciao, Marco. PS: remove the sticker when he sleeps 😉
Hi Marco, thank you! I wonder how long it would have taken it to see that the stickers were gone. True, the small wins are what to focus on now. There are lots of them! So many things that we previously took for granted we now really appreciate. Next video comes tomorrow, it's about me taking care of myself! ❤️ Pia
Get well soon Kenneth!!!
Thank you!!
So crazy how you looked semi alright right after the crash but your body was a ticking time bomb. Glad you acted swiftly, and good to see you're doing better.
Yeah it was closer than I realised. I didn't think much of it at the time. I thought I would be fine in a few days. But if Pia had not been there I would not be here today. So I am vert grateful 🙂
yes always always people should go to hospital and have tensts done to make sure everything is alright. internally its not always.
Good to see you are on the mend even better to see your beard 🧔 is growing back lol 😂 stay safe
Thank you! Another vote for team beard!
Saw you guys from Moto Madness. I hope you both get better soon and take it easy. Love from the UK guys :)
Thanks for coming over 🙂 We feel better every day and will be back on the bikes in spring 😛
I'm proud to support you guys and encourage everyone who watches to do the same. Even if you don't want to commit to being a patreon supporter, go to their website and take a look at the stuff they have for sale. The quality is fantastic! I'm typing this on my lunch break at work with my Ride The Bean neck gaiter on! I have bought many neck gaiters since this pandemic started and this is by far the best quality one I have. The T-shirt I bought is a high quality Gildan made one as well. I know Pia and Kenneth wouldn't be so bold as to push anyone into buying from them, but believe me when I say, regardless of what you think of the videos or their journey, you need to give the store a look! Can't wait for the coffee to arrive! Peace and love guys, from Canada!
Thank you so much for all your support! We feel overwhelmed by all the support we have gotten lately. ☺️ All the comments and everyone who has bought our coffee and merch. You are helping us so much!
Every item you have bought from us gets us another couple hundred km once we get back on the road 🙂
Thank you su much for all the support, both by watching our videos, commenting and supporting us financially 🙂 It feels unreal 🤗
it's good to see both of you more relieved and calm👌....and the stickers in the cap: cruel? ... no, but necessary, yes! ...✌
We do feel a lot better, and getting better every day 🙂 But I have to disagree with you. I find it cruel to take the stickers off when I am in incapable of doing something about it 😝 She used my injury against me for her own gain😒 Not nice 😝
@@RidetheBean ok, it's true ... it was cruel and I'm sorry 😔... but man! .. after what you're going through, what is a simple sticker?..up! Fuerza! ..aaarg! ..aaaah!!💪😉👌
we all hope you are better...and we want adventure🏍
CONGRATULATIONS on your first poop! Having been in ICU & CCU, I know how much that means! Especially considering that the prognosis was a for you to have a Colestomy.
Yeah I didn't realise how big of a deal that was in the hospital. I almost got an applause 😝 I was super lucky to escape the colostomy bag. But it cost me 3 surgeries and 6 weeks in hospital.
Good to see you made it through my friend god bless you and watch yourself and keep riding the been brother. By the way I meet you in Norway in the gas station in July .
Thank you 🙂
Was that outside of Bergen?
@@RidetheBean ithink so I had an issue with gas station the took more money from my card and you said that it happened to you in Sweden 🇸🇪
your both AWESOME
Thanks 😊
Lord Bliss..healing is vital,now you are two are fit, and lucky for all good things,.. And this accident will make you tide stronger,.. Good the two bike are also in safe hands..
Yes, now we're on the right track! ❤️
I wish you both great long rest!
Thank you 😊 we are getting better every day 🙂
@@RidetheBean I am so glad!
Hi guys! Is good to see you Kenneth!
Thanks 😊
@@RidetheBean your welcome
#couplegoals and I also like your private jet ;) Looks like you both had plenty of legroom. I am Team Pia when it comes to the stickers!!!
Yeah that was luxury 😝 First time I have my own bed on a plane 😝
Removing the stickers when I can't do anything is mean 😒
@@RidetheBean maybe a little. but it was funny when she said "you pose no threat". I have to admit I giggled pretty solidly at that.
One day at a time guys ❤🙏
Yep🙂 One day at a time 🙂
I think that particular liquid food looked like a cheeseburger. 🍔 You should write that on the bag! And the next meal? Perhaps pepperoni pizza. 🍕 You have much to be positive about. It’s only harder to see and slower to come right now. Just keep looking around the corner. Keep searching. You will find it. Best wishes from America. ⭐️
😂😂 That is a great idea 😝 I'll remember that for next time 😂
Things are going better and better and it looks like we will be able to continue when spring comes 🙂
Thankyou
😊
This is what nationalized health care looks like. In the US I’m afraid this would likely bankrupt you. And the care looks excellent! I really don’t mean to get political but I kept thinking about that the whole time I watched the video.
That is true 🙂 It is very interesting to watch how the debate about healthcare is going in America.
We are so glad this happened in Norway where healthcare is free. This whole experience only cost us to postpone our trip and half a colon. We have not had to pay for anything except some prescriptions.
The care has been amazing. Everyone involved, from the doctors to the nurses and ambulance workers were just fantastic. We are very fortunate 🙂
It's not easy but you can do it, cheer up
That's true. We can do hard things! ❤️
Yeah we hope so! The goal is to get back on the bikes by spring 😛
You gotta keep on keeping on, you gotta keep on keeping strong .
Keep up the sense of humour.
Think about getting a rescue beacon, like a Fast Find, when you get back to your great adventure
That is what we are trying 🙂 We have to get back on the bikes to continue 😛
Yeah we are looking into that now. Any recommendations? We are thinking of the Garmin InReach.
@@RidetheBean I got a Fast Find, because it was on special offer at a boat show.. There are probably blogs and vlogs on choosing one., by people who are far more knowledgeable than myself
Get better man...Found your channel via DirtbikeLunatic
Thank you for coming over 😊 getting better every day 😛
You will keep getting stronger every day. You’re young and you’re strong and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just don’t think you can run before you can walk. Then everything will be fine. On a secondary note I was just wondering how the motorbikes are? Do they need a lot of repair, did you rescue them? Just wondering.
That is true. Every day we feel better and better 🙂
The bikes were actually drivable after the accident. The police drove them to a storage location nearby. But they are now it the shop and nurse out they need quite a lot of work. The fonts are bent and a lot of plastic is broken, plus a lot of dents and bends everywhere.
Who ever disliked this video are just low life scum.I am so sad for your loss I don't have words Kenneth be strong greetings from Belgium
😂
Thank you 🙂
