@derekjames6254 😅😅 that raised a chuckle, bravo! Cheers for the well wishes. If I can show that you don't need a big budget, the best equipment or bike to have an adventure hopefully other folk might use it as a slight nudge to go out of their comfort zone and just use what they have for a jolly!
Need to add foot rest to our crash bar bag product descriptions hahah A Brilliant video. Sorry to hear about lost footage. Onwards and downwards. Travel safe :)
Brilliant installment Tom! Just wanted it to keep going!! Theres something about the video that makes it feel more real than the photos and writeups. Looking forward to the next one 😁
Cheers Ellie! I'm glad you wanted more rather than wanting less 🤣 I'll try not to have things stolen or my drive break before the next video but this is Africa so who knows
I'm glad you've managed to assemble this episode even with the lost footage. I'm sure you have plenty of challenges ahead. Seeing your pictures on Facebook, Africa looks amazing. Best of luck to both of you, and I hope you're enjoying the adventure
Good stuff, Tom and Lauren. I thought the pacing was really good. You know how impatient the viewing public can be! I was never bored. Looking forward to episode 3.
@@ILikeMotorbikesJust take your time - as you said, it's first and foremost an adventure; the videos can come later. Don't put yourselves under a release schedule.
We had dinner with Tom & Lauren last night and today. They’re still safe in the Republic of Congo. All the best guys, it was lovely meeting the both of you.
Hi Tom and Lauren you and Ollie and Lav are my favourite roadie travellers more interesting than muddy jungle tracks and you guys just seem like the bikers I used to hang out with in my callow youth, well nineteen sixties actually
Awesome thanks for the praise John! I'm glad we're your cup of tea. Biking in the 60s was a very different prospect I expect, are you still riding now?
Wishing you all the best on your amazing journey. I've joined you to the bitter end. Try to enjoy the sunshine and the well maintained roads. All the very best to you both.
Im a big fan of C90adventures and Ed March, so this is just brilliant entertainment! Looking forward to follwing you on your trip, and dreaming that one day i could do the same!
Glad to see you are back on your way, if you plan to come to Mozambique get in touch, I'm a UK ex pat living in Northern Mozambique on the Malawi border
Thanks for the offer! We're strongly considering riding up the east to Kenya so may well be passing by Could you send me an email or get in touch via Facebook so we can stay connected?
Great episode, glad you managed to put it together even though some scumbags robbed yous. I can't believe how much gear your managing to carry on the wee cg's, it's a testimony to honda. Look forward to the next one
Cheers for the well wishes Pete! These things happen but it won't stop the wheels rolling or us having a good time Next video is in the works but is slightly delayed. I hope you'll be patient for more travel content 🤞
Cheers! We didn't actually camp directly in the Pyrenees but I'm sure there are plenty of places. Our general experience was whilst it was probably illegal or at least a grey area, nobody seemed to have a problem with us camping. Plenty of places we weren't even seen! Good luck and have a great trip!
You can’t really call the Bardenas Reales a big playground as so much of it is an area where you have to stick to the few marked routes. There are so many places that are protected fragile habitats and most of the rest is a military training area.
Absolutely! It's in the works but I've been crazy busy living this adventure. I know I'm behind but I promise it's coming! About 7 mins of edited footage for the Morocco portion so far 🙌
Thanks for the message! Sadly we are already too far south of Omuthiya to come back and visit but maybe another time. I'm pleased you met Alex, he's a great guy!
Sad for your theft. But a truly great series thanks. I put 77k miles on a Honda 125. Electric starter failed but had kick start. Rest purely maintenance and service parts. When I sold it guy picked it up and put in peugeot estate😅. I am 65 and in the late 80s I had a yamaha T80 tow mate ( honda 90 copy) but had shaft drive. So wished I’d kept that one. I rode my xmax 250 to southern Spain and back twice awesome journey and at a pace I could enjoy scenery
Thanks us too but it is what it is. Excellent work! I bought a different CG125 and put it in the back of my Peugeot estate... maybe its a theme 😅 Hope you're looking forward to the next video
Sorry mate, I gave it a good go, but it's boring as shit, the narration sounds as though you are reading the script for the first time, it is totally lacking in enthusiasm, good luck.
We collected rocks that had already been used in a small fire pit and rebuilt them. Would you be so angry at the locals who use that area to hunt for scoring them in the first place? 🤔 How do you know we didn't carry unicorn tears for the sole purpose of cleaning any scorched rocks?
Did you notice the error I made with showing the wrong town in a scene? 🤔
Nope no idea, loved your pronunciation of falafel though 😉
@@alexskelton3331 🤣 is that not how you say falafel?

Sounds a brilliant adventure, you're bound to be a target for thieving being a 'rich westener' stay safe.
Its certainly shaping up to be a great trip! Yeah we are somewhat of a target but overall felt very safe so far on the trip
Need to add foot rest to our crash bar bag product descriptions hahah A Brilliant video. Sorry to hear about lost footage. Onwards and downwards. Travel safe :)
Absolutely 😅 they work faultlessly! Thanks for the well wishes 😁
Now if the RE Himalayan had cruise control, that would be a great idea!
Brilliant installment Tom! Just wanted it to keep going!! Theres something about the video that makes it feel more real than the photos and writeups. Looking forward to the next one 😁
Cheers Ellie! I'm glad you wanted more rather than wanting less 🤣 I'll try not to have things stolen or my drive break before the next video but this is Africa so who knows
Such a shame about all the stolen stuff! People can be so cruel but that being said another great video! 💪💪
Considering you lost loads of footage you have done really well with that. Great video, great adventure. Looking forward to the next instalment
Cheers Tom! It was almost a blessing in some ways as I couldn't overcrowd the video! Glad you liked it
Just glad you are ok. What a journey you have embarked upon.
All safe and sound and live to ride another day
Cheers!
I'm glad you've managed to assemble this episode even with the lost footage. I'm sure you have plenty of challenges ahead.

Good stuff, Tom and Lauren. I thought the pacing was really good. You know how impatient the viewing public can be! I was never bored. Looking forward to episode 3.
Cheers Simon! I'll do my best to not keep people waiting so long next time

@ReelRidersPodcast don't worry I won't! We've learnt already in Africa, flexibility is key!
We had dinner with Tom & Lauren last night and today. They’re still safe in the Republic of Congo. All the best guys, it was lovely meeting the both of you.
You guys are the best! The pleasure was ours, we've had a wonderful time with you

Thank you! Had plenty of sunshine and mixed roads now we are deep in West Africa - still smiling though 😁
Cheers
Great job, continuing the story.
Cheers Brett!

@@CosmicSeeker69 50, when you`re married with kids and dont have a bucket of money to support your travels ;-)
Glad you got the engine sorted!
Cheers. Us too! I now owe Jack many, many beers 😅
Excellent work mate! Great recovery from the drives being stolen and nice job getting to Africa. The best is yet to come and I can’t wait!! 🔥💪
Is good to see a story with happy ending.
You, both are amazing for courage and tenacity.
Good luck and bring more beautiful stories for us.
Thanks for the kind words. I'll do my best to keep the stories rolling on for you all
Love it! I wish you good luck, enjoy!
Thank you!
Great vid! Real shame about the lost footage but as a keen viewer, not a big deal as you're telling the story so well! 😎👍
Cheers Bob! It is a shame but I'm glad you liked the video despite the missing footage
Glad to see you guys back on your trip! Keep the videos coming I love them 👍🏻
Cheers Chris! I'll do my best - plenty of videos to come, I just need the time to edit 😁
Great video.

Thanks George! I'm glad you liked it
It seems like a lot but we really don't have too much in the way of luxury items!
Such a shame about your video theft :(
On the plus side, what a great video this was, so engaging and positive, I am loving this channel!!!
Cheers for the well wishes Pete! These things happen but it won't stop the wheels rolling or us having a good time
Next video is in the works but is slightly delayed. I hope you'll be patient for more travel content 🤞
Fabulous video didn’t realise about the marble in the tarmac,the 125’s are bullet proof keep on going you willl smash it😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Me neither! Cheers, im sure we will 😁
Bravo a vous deux , c'est un magnifique projet, bonne route et profitez bien !
Merci beaucoup! Bonne journee mon ami ❤
What a true adventure, great stuff 👍🏻🍻

I hope you enjoy following along!
Awesome vid dude!
Cheers James! Glad you liked it
Dito to what @tomstc said.
Looking forward to the next one.
Cheers! I'll get cracking with it soon 🙏
Hi
Glad your back
We are travelling down through Andorra to spain in a few weeks
Are they ok with wild camping in the Pyrenees
Stay safe and focused
Cheers! We didn't actually camp directly in the Pyrenees but I'm sure there are plenty of places. Our general experience was whilst it was probably illegal or at least a grey area, nobody seemed to have a problem with us camping. Plenty of places we weren't even seen! Good luck and have a great trip!
You'll be fine as long as you use a little common sense. Arrived late - leave early - no worries. Theres so few ppl about compared to the You Kay
I suppose to travel around the united estates USA 🇺🇸 would be a nice one, what do you both say?
It's on the list! We would love to travel all through the Americas some day!
Maybe see you there?
Brilliant!!!
Thanks!
great video and couple and cg,s
Thank you!
You can’t really call the Bardenas Reales a big playground as so much of it is an area where you have to stick to the few marked routes. There are so many places that are protected fragile habitats and most of the rest is a military training area.
It's a far bigger playground than the trails in Somerset where I spent most of my riding years!
I'm from Somerset also can relate to that comment!! Your both inspirational to all us back in the UK
@@richtucker857 not very much for miles around!
Aww looks like you’re having a great time! ❤
The best!!
Finally!
Sorry to keep you waiting. I hope it was worth the wait though
Can we have another episode ?.
Absolutely! It's in the works but I've been crazy busy living this adventure. I know I'm behind but I promise it's coming! About 7 mins of edited footage for the Morocco portion so far 🙌
Hello sir yesterday I met one of your friend Alex in Namibia omuthiya sir if possible visit our shop in omuthiya Namibia
Thanks for the message! Sadly we are already too far south of Omuthiya to come back and visit but maybe another time. I'm pleased you met Alex, he's a great guy!
So when i expect you guys in Pakistan 🤔🤔🤔
Never say never but IF it was to happen. Maybe September or later in 2024
No Alarm on the bike?
Motoalarm costs around 100€
Nope no alarm, I've never seen the point of them as I've seen them fail more often than help.
Plus €100 is around 800km worth of fuel for us
whats the problem with ur engine?
Did you see the first video? Short version of the story is it was ran without oil so the bottom end was knocking
@@ILikeMotorbikes i watch the video but the audio quite soft,
how come the engine run without oil? some leak or something?
Sorry to hear about the theft, at least it wasn't the bikes.
Absolutely, could have been worse but it is what it is. We're happy and healthy and that's the main thing
Well done. I enjoyed the video. Stay safe.
Cheers glad you liked it!

En route, not on route.
pointlessly scorching rocks ,ever heard of leave no trace ?
We collected rocks that had already been used in a small fire pit and rebuilt them. Would you be so angry at the locals who use that area to hunt for scoring them in the first place? 🤔
How do you know we didn't carry unicorn tears for the sole purpose of cleaning any scorched rocks?
@@ILikeMotorbikes and you're fat
The speed of light and thieving bastards the two universal constants.
Sadly true! Still, we live to ride another day
