See you on the road!
The fact that you carry one bottle of Jameson in your medicine box made me smile. 😁❤️
Ferdia, I really enjoyed this packing video. When you live on the road, these details mean a lot. Thanks for sharing your stuff!!! 🥰
Absolute workhorse 🐎
Mal, this guy is living the dream eh?!?! 😂
@@ClintHornsby Isn’t he just Clint, right tools for the right job too 😄👍🏻
Why wasn't youtube around during my journeys....🤣
Oh well , the boys 14 now.......2 years and counting 😆🤣🏍🏍
@@ClintHornsby typical isn’t it!! Hahaha that’s the way mate, get everything squirrelled away over the next two years and get amongst it, we can all meet up somewhere 🍻😄
In the days of my youth when the sun was brighter and the air was cleaner but, the dinosaurs had still been long gone from the land, I was a distance bicyclist. It was nothing serious, just a ride out of 80 to 100 miles or so, an overnight camp and then back home. I do remember doing road repairs on tires. It was unfun on a bicycle. I can't imagine what a pain it would be on a motorcycle. Also, I would keep the extra sleeping bag. You can never tell when the need for it might arise. I'm thin skinned though. I don't like it when the temperatures drop below 70 F or 21.1 C and here I am living in a state with moderately harsh winters. Lol!
I think you may be able to slip a few sheets of paper into that top box. :D
You're absolutely right about the second sleeping bag.... Last few nights I've been doubling up, in May! Shocking weather here in Turkey at the moment 🥲
@@unOrdinaryWorld Air mattresses can be tricky, too. While they are definitely comfortable, Your body has to heatt up the air inside of them before you feel warm. Therefore, it's crucial to have some sort of insulating barrier between the air mattress and the bottom of your tent. Without it, cooler ground will pull the heat right out of an air mattress. I wish you well as you deal with the unOrdinary weather in Turkey.
I'm amazed at all you can fit in and on your bike! Very resourceful and organized. Do you happen to know the name of the trees in the background?
I don't but they are beautiful aren't they?! Like something I'd expect to see in the Savannah...I think... I've never been, but the imagination is telling me so 😂 I think they're a type of pine but I may be wrong...
Ah jez ……. Room for 38 more coats on that wagon, start collecting more Johnny 😜
You madman😁
😈😈😈
Perfect, love it! Bike , basic gear....whiskey. what more do you need😂. Absolutely brilliant.
Hey dude, if you can get your hands on a cheap sheep fleece you will love the extra padding on the seat and also doubles as a great matt to sit on.
It's the perfect bike for your journeys.
Looking forward to the next episode!❤
Once the whiskey is there everything else falls into place 😜 and I've been keeping my eye out for one, so far no luck though... Thanks for following along ☺️
@@unOrdinaryWorld consider it a quest for the golden fleece 😆😂
Brilliant. Simple and effective. Doing it rather than being the posseur. Right on.
If I can offer my $0.02 - I like to run the strap/ bungee cord through the loops for a bit of extra security and/or use carabiners to hook on as a 2nd back up in case the strap falls off or breaks or comes loose then the gear at least won't fall off and get lost or broken from falling. Kind of a belt and suspenders approach. lol... It has paid off a couple of times. Cheers!
That's a brilliant idea, thanks for this!
I remember Wonderly Wagon! I lived in Ireland for a while in the mid 70s. Nice to see your set up, I'm considering a GS but trying to decide which model I should buy. How long have you had yours and what's the mileage and reliability been like?
The GS has been in the family for a loooong time now, I've been riding it since 2021, mostly in Spain, and the milage at the moment is just under 70k miles... Many more left in her! 🏍️💨
I thought were about 24 years old until you said you bought you’re tent in 2001😂
🤣🤣🤣 I'm the youngest looking 40 something year old biker you'll ever meet 😝 ah no, I slipped, meant 2021. Still withstanding, I'll take the compliment cause I haven't been 24 in some time 😜
40 something 😳 please share you diet haha
@@g-sailing4427 I'm kidding, I'm 27, living on a diet of biscuits and fine whiskey 😝😝 (could really do with a vegetable one of these days)
@@unOrdinaryWorld😂 I don’t feel so bad now.. I thought I was doing something seriously wrong lol
