    Brilliant! You need to mic Karen up, though. Looking forward to the rest of the adventure.
    Nice parting of the waves for Phil and Karen to come through. That doesn't normally happen for ordinary folk like me!
    That wasn't the royal family, everyone in London is rich and drives a Roller or a Ferrari, donchaknow?
    My cards have the number on the front so can't show them on the interweb...

      Yeah gotta be careful with cards, but I had it inside the wrist band for much of the trip and the toll payages worked really well and not too expensive.
      I've heard about you london lot flaunting your money with fancy cars and bikes 😁
      I wish I had mic'd her up because she is hilarious on the bike 🤣🤣

      😁 I suspect its not much different to riding state to state over there, you only need a passport in and out of the UK, the rest is border free. Riding on the right is easy, and I'm sure you've gone to some states and English isn't their first language 🤣🤣

    Thank you for your video. It looks like proper motorcycle touring. I like it. My girlfriend and I went two up camping to Monaco in 1979 and Milano in 1983. I had planned to go to Switzerland this summer but floods first in Germany and now in Switzerland stopped me. I will probably go Denmark, Sweden, Norway and back to Denmark this year. I'm looking forward to seeing how you fare.
