  1. So sorry to hear about your dog, I admire your videos and always looked forward to spotting your dogs on the garage floor. Dogs are family.

  2. So sorry to hear about Kira, I’ve been in that same position myself a few times and hate it everytime 😢, as it happens I’d didn’t know what GSD stood for until you mentioned it. I have a 1250 GS Triple Black also covered in the 719 kit and only enough I also have a Motorhome, keep up the good work.

  3. I stopped watching the video at the point where you found out about your dog dying. Really, really sorry to hear that. Dog's are incredibly precious, only a dog lover could understand. You have my sympathy.

  4. Awesome video! As always. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. She was so beautiful. Too soon. I can empathize going through this recently. It's got to be be tough. Best!

  5. I thought that I would watch the first five minutes before going to bed as I need to get up early tomorrow. Why am I getting up early? Because tomorrow I’m riding over to Les Sables d’Olonne! I’m going over to look at the Vendée Globe Round the World yachts before they start their race on Sunday. What a coincidence. I was in La Rochelle lat Friday. 🙂🙂
