Hey guys, welcome to episode three of my GS adventures. Let’s just take this in one more time. Unusual for me, I know, but no words. Right, we have a bit of a situation. I’ve got 13 km of range left and the nearest petrol station is about 18 km away. We are at zero range. Hopefully, you’ve seen the first and second episode. If you haven’t, I’ll link them in the description below. I’m starting this episode in beautiful Monaco. It’s 28°, so I need to get on the bike and get the air moving because I’m rather warm in all of my gear. Don’t be fooled. We’re not in the UK. It’s sad that I’m leaving already. I’ve only been here about 90 minutes. I’ve got lots to do today and I need to get back to the hotel at a reasonable time. This is the hotel that I’ve stayed at before with Lou, Rachel, and Taran, our good friends, the Columbus. Really nice hotel. Beautiful hotel. In fact, Lamborghini Urus. Not a fan of those at all. Ah, BMW Moto ad. That’s cool. Ah, let’s turn around and have a quick squeeze in there. So, we’ve got the new R1300 adventure, the new RT. Some R1300 GS’s down there. Some sportier machinery here. Look at that. Is that an M1000RR in Sa Paulo yellow? Beautiful. Well, that’s good to know that there’s a Moto ad store in Monaco. I mean, of course there is. You’d have a Vesper if you lived in Monaco, wouldn’t you? You’d just have to have one to buzz around on. Or even one of those electric BMWs. What are they? CEOs or something. Silly name in my opinion. Massively overpriced as well. But I borrowed one emoji P race in Portugal a couple of years ago with my good buddy Andy and we had lots of fun on them. They’re brilliant, brilliant bits of kit, but just so overpriced. Really small range. I’m sure they’ll be a secondhand bargain if many people have gone out and bought them. I think this might be cat dye. There you go. I get the feeling that not many people let pedestrians cross around here because every time I stop, they look at me like I’m a bit crazy. I would love to live down here. Oh, it just be the dream down there, you know, a nice 5 million pound villa with that view. Stand up for a bit. Oh yes, that wind, that breeze, right then. That was a lovely lunch just in there. I thought it was a regular restaurant cafe. was going to have a salad. And when I sat down, I suddenly realized I was in an Indian restaurant. And I love Indian food. I lived in India for 9 months when I was a bit younger. It’s not the sort of thing that I would normally have in 28° heat. But I thought, you know what? Let’s have a biryani. And it was really, really good. And really reasonably priced. I had a really large biryani. could barely finish it. A Coke, a coffee, a mineral water. €20. That’s about 17 quid today. Next up is the Red Rock Road. Again, one of my absolute favorite roads in the French Alps. According to Ways, it’s a couple of hours away. I am mostly going cross country though and I’m going to stop in about 35 minutes time because I want to watch the Moto GP sprint race. This looks like it’s going to be a really windy back road going away from the coast. Goodbye coastline. Ah, I’ll miss you, but I’ll see you again very soon hopefully. Right, Moto GP Sprint Race done and dusted. Yet another Mark Marquez show. He’s just having an unbelievable season. No one can touch him. I’ve never been the biggest Mark Marquez fan. I’ve always respected how good he is on a bike. But the past few years, his recovery from injury has just been unreal. It is 33°. That is my overall trip computer. So, I’ve been riding for just over 21 hours. Uh, I’ve managed to do 1641 km and average 57.6 MBG. If we go over to today’s trip computer, well, I’ve been riding almost 5 hours, only covered 266 km cuz a lot of that has been in the twisties or all of it’s been in the twisties and along the coast, Monaco, etc. But look at that average consumption, 62.7. We have arrived at the wonderful Red Rock Road. And for those of you that don’t know what the Red Rock Road is or haven’t seen any of my videos that I’ve filmed along here over the years in cars and on bikes, well, you’ll see why it’s called the Red Rock Road a little bit later. And the great thing about this road is when we get to the good bits very soon. It’s a completely different road going in this direction to what it is going in the other direction. You might have noticed that I’ve changed my other camera angle. And that’s because my suction mount that was on here finally gave way. And thankfully I noticed it was hanging off and just about to fall. So the first bit is like this. Just flowy flowy and flowy and flowy. Beautiful tarmac. White white lines look like they’ve been painted recently. Got to watch this bump in the braking zone. Almost learned the hard way with that in a car. Say no more. You can see things are starting to go red. See this road goes to the right and that road goes to the well comes from the left. Oh, look at that. You never know what you’re going to find around the corner. Well, hopefully you enjoyed that. It is genuinely one of my absolute favorite roads to go up and down. Definitely worth considering if you’re here in the area in a car or on a bike. Well, I decided to go the cross country scenic route back to the hotel because, well, this is my last full day in the Alps. And why not? As long as I’m back by half 7, 8:00, I can get dinner. and get to bed. I’m now heading back over colder bonnet. So, basically the reverse of what I did this morning. And what is crazy is it’s approaching 7:00, 5 to 7 in the evening now. I was up here at 7:00 a.m. this morning. So 12 hours ago, and I’d just seen sunrise, and the sun’s not far away from setting. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tired. It’s been a long day today. 13°. I’ve gone from plus 33 to + 13. And I’ve only got a t-shirt underneath this heavily ventilated jacket. Here we go. Wow. Right, before I jump back on the bike, let’s just take this in one more time. The two gents on the GSA and the Ducatti Scrambler were both from Manchester and one of them is uh subscribed to the channel. Really cool. It’s been great this trip. I think I’ve met six or seven subscribers, which I just wouldn’t expect on the motorbike. But saying that, it’s a small world, isn’t it? The motorbike world, especially in the UK, we’re talking thousands of people as opposed to, well, millions in the car world, especially the real fanatics. In fact, most bikers in the UK are probably verging on fanatics because as we’ve talked about, as I’ve talked about before, unlike a lot of other countries, France, Spain, even places like India, the majority of people own motorbikes to commute with, whereas in the UK, it’s very much a specialist First piece of equipment. We’re back. What a ride. What a ride. So today, 7 and 1 half hours riding, 440 km, average speed is 64 and average consumption of 58.8, nearly 60 MPG. Ragging the hell out of it all day long. Amazing. Right, I’m gonna go inside, have a quick shower, and grab a bite to eat because I am starving and I’m tired. And we got another long day ahead of us tomorrow. Good morning, guys. I am leaving this lovely, cheap, and cheerful hotel. Been here for two nights. It’s 18°. I was out here about an hour ago fiddling with the bike and it was 6°. Soon as that sun comes out, it heats up very, very quickly, as we found out yesterday. Today’s route is a long one, but it’s an exciting one. First stop or first checkpoint is Vase. So, I’m kind of backtracking on the way that I came here. I’m then going to go over Galibier and down into Valwis. And then I found a new route, a route at least that I’ve not been on. I don’t think it’s new. I think it’s been there for hundreds of years, but I’ve never been along it. So, we’re going to cut across that and eventually find ourselves in Anacey and the beautiful lake Anacey and then slowly leave uh the Alps. This Lone Rider 30 L bag that my good friend Chris Bound from Grumble gave to me has just been perfect, adequate for my journey. as has the uh SW Motech daypack. This has been an absolute savior. Especially yesterday when I went down into Monaco, I literally had my Creger backpack and this and that was perfect. Right, let’s fire the beast up. There we go. It’s actually gone up to 19° in the 2 minutes of me talking. Let’s head off. and uh down this wonderful road. Goodbye hotel. Thank you very much. Really biker friendly. The food was very good and it was all relatively cheap. I think I paid about £70 a night and dinner for two nights and one breakfast this morning worked out about 60 quid. Ah, let’s just roll down this first bit before we start picking up the pace and getting excited and just take in these beautiful, beautiful views. We are literally in the middle of nowhere up here. All right, let’s see what we get in the tank. I think I had about 50 km of range left. So, I reckon 12 L. Well, just under 11 L. Well, that was a good leg this morning. Uh, let’s just check what we’ve done. So, today just over 100 kilometers. We’ve been on the road an hour and 40 minutes. And I’m going to stop and have a quick coffee. Now, I think it was episode two where I’d just come down Galibier, which we’re just about to go up, and I talked about the mountain burger restaurant that I’ve been to with Petrol Head Tours. This is it. Mountain Burger restaurant. And that is pretty much what a mountain burger looks like. Oh, I mean I can’t eat a lot of that with my funky diet at the moment, but um if you don’t have any food intolerances or allergies, that is a very very tasty burger. Just sit back in the deck chair, chill out for a bit, take in the views and the sunshine. great coffee in one of the most beautiful locations on the planet. Before we jump back on the bike, I just wanted to show you these vespers that have come over from Italy. They’re beautiful little things. And I remember when I was here a few days ago heading over Galibier. I saw a couple of other Italian vespers. Italy is actually not that far from here, although that is as the crow flies. If you wanted to ride there, it’s probably a good 2 or 3 hours away. Ah, if you got a car or a bike and you enjoy driving or riding and you haven’t taken it to the Alps or out of the UK, do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Worry about the costs when you get home. Little person going up the climb. Yeah. And just like that, you’re at the top. Yeah. Coming up this side of Gibier definitely happens very quickly. I don’t think I’m going to stop. Actually, I think I’m just going to roll on through. Loads of people wanting to take pictures or I got one couple of days ago. Wow. Piccadilly circus up here. Ah, there’s my lunch spot. I’m going to call it my parents lunch spot. Busy there as well today. Or busyish. Couple of bikes, couple of cars. So, we’re doing 65 70 odd clicks. That’s got to be 40 mph. Oh, wow. Beautiful. On one hand, I want to slow down and make the most of being up here, but on the other hand, I want to have some fun. I think it’s my riding skill. gets better, which automatically it would on a trip like this, just due to the amount of time I’ve spent in the saddle. I’m definitely feeling that this bike is a bit softly sprung. And I mean, it’s set up as an enduro bike essentially, so it needs to give you decent off-road capabilities. We’ve got lots of travel on the front and on the back, but it does dive quite severely when you get on the brakes. So, you just got to be a bit more gradual with that initial grab of the brake. I also find that getting on the back brake a fraction before you get on the front brake and then releasing the front brake just before you release the rear brakes. So, using the rear brake as a bit of a trail brake into a corner and then come off it. Rear brakes really important and it’s something that I didn’t really utilize in my early days of riding. Yeah, sure. I used it around town slow moving stuff, but on this trip I’ve really taught myself to use the rear brake when cornering. Not midc corner, obviously not corner exit, but it’s really handy coming into a corner. It kind of drags the bike into the corner and then you release it. And even the way you release the rear brake, especially if you’re sort of relatively firm on it. So, rear brake, front brake, release front brake, turn in off the rear brake. No words. Unusual for me, I know, but no words. I got my toll tag working again. I mean, it was working all along, but you just got to get so close. Almost too close. Oh, 340i. F generation 340i touring. Lovely from the UK. Big in the game. Really nice. understated, classy. Sit down, have lunch, and watch the Moto GP, the main races today. Sounds like a good plan to me. Looks like there’s a group of restaurants about 15 minutes away, which will be absolutely perfect. So, this is the road or the pass that I’ve never been along and I thought I would give it a try. The first two minutes have been really good, which doesn’t surprise me when you look at where we are. The tour has obviously come up here at some point or come down here cuz there’s a lot of painting on the road in places on the rocks. Woohoo! Look at this. Heat. Heat. I think this is it. Yes. What a find. Ah, another rubbish view. Brilliant. That launch was perfect. As was the Moto GP race. Yes, Marquez won again, Mark Marquez. But it was actually a bit of a race. He had to fight for it. And I’ve also just realized I haven’t booked my hotel for tonight and it’s 20 3. So I’ll stop in about an hour’s time. I’m not too worried. There was loads when I looked online yesterday. It’s a Sunday night. I’m glad that I picked this route and I’ll be coming back here for sure. Oh, look at this. Ah, I have been here. I’ve been here in the RHT. I know that because of the painting on the road there, but that was like end of October or something. A bit wintry. Look at this. What a view. What a place. Oh, look at this. I’m going to have to stop. Get a thumbnail here. I think Yeah, I remember stopping here in the R8. Pretty sure it was pouring with rain. I took a picture of it. See if I can find it. We are now following someone on a bicycle in front of this motorbike who is absolutely rapid on the descent. I mean, I’m sure he’s no Tom Pitcock, but still, this bike’s been stuck behind him for a while. Oh, it’s going for the move. I reckon he’s going to hold the bike up now. Unbelievable. Look at him go. So that’s 70. Unreal. That might be the last switchbacks. and mountain pass I do on this trip. What a bike. What incredible tires as well. And I’ll talk a little bit more about the anarchy roads later when we’re parked up because I need you to see what I’m explaining if that makes sense. Right, we have a bit of a situation. I’ve got 13 km of range left and the nearest petrol station is about 18 km away and I’m on a toll route. I’ve knocked the speed back from it’s doing about 125 clicks because the speed limit is 130 and I’m just hoping that the bike makes it. The last place I wanted to run out of fuel is on the side of a toll road. There we go. 11 km and I’ve got 7 km of range left. I’m now in the slow truck lane going up this long climb. Should probably knock the speed back a little bit more. There’s nothing behind. Right, we’re down to 2 kilometers now. And thankfully the traffic has worsened and the pace has slowed right down. So the bike’s going to be a lot more efficient at these speeds. Oh, I say that we’re now down to one. Let’s just bring the uh trip computer up. Oh, zero. We are at zero range. It probably sounds like I’m celebrating and I’m definitely not. Let’s see how far we can go with zero range. So, it cocked over zero range at 317 km exactly. I’m just going to sit behind this camper van. We’ve now done 2 kilometers on zero range. 1,500 m. What’s that? A kilometer and a half. I think that’s to the fuel stop. We’ve now done 3ks on zero range. 1,000 m. We could almost roll there. Except we couldn’t because this is still going uphill. I need fuel and I need to book tonight’s hotel because it is now 5 to 5 and I still don’t have a hotel. So that’s 4 and a half kilometers on empty just in case you wondered what your F900 GS could do. Right, let’s see how much fuel we can get in here. I’m going to guess 14 lers. 12. And it still hasn’t clicked. 13. Right. Completely brimmed at 14 L. So, there’s still half a liter in there somewhere. I’ve had 15 minutes with my helmet off just chilling and most importantly booking a hotel that is about an hour and 45 minutes away. Oh, we have fuel. Yeah. Woohoo. You probably get 10 to 15 km of range when it says zero. Now, annoyingly, I put Anacey into ways earlier today and I should have checked, but instead of taking me cross country, why is that always so late? Instead of taking me cross country, it took me the main motorway route, which I really didn’t want to do. I wanted to go alongside Lake Anacey, but I’m going to have to miss that. Well, I just don’t have the time. So, Anacey, until my next trip, take it easy. And sorry I couldn’t come say hi cuz I love Lake Anacey. We are now one kilometer away from tonight’s BNB and I’m very happy about that. I’m feeling pretty tired. Um, it’s been a relatively long day cuz I suppose half of it was in the twisties and half of it was on boring motorway scores on the doors. So, just over six hours in the saddle, 474 kilometers, uh, average speed of 82 km per hour, and we’ve average 57.6 MPG. That was over 60 when I left the Alps. I always like to book places that look like they’re quite remote when I’ve got the bike, especially, and not big chain hotels, although like a hotel on the side of the motorway would be convenient. I have found a bit of a gold mine here. Stayed at some brilliant places during this trip. Really, really good places. I hope I don’t jinx tomorrow night. The kitchen area, it’s like a common kitchen that I can go into. There’s a TV room down there. I’m going to have breakfast there in the morning. And then they’re all like small apartments. They’re all different. This is my one. Floating bed. Really, really nice. I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ve probably got a big red mark on my head. Motorway with the helmet’s pushing on your head. Right then, guys. Time to leave. I could stay here all day. It’s been absolutely wonderful. Massive thanks to the host Riad over there. We’re actually going to start by going to a racing circuit which is about 5 minutes away from here. I was talking to Riyad this morning at breakfast and um he told me that a lot of test drivers and racing drivers, even an ex French F1 driver has stayed here before. And then uh we’ll start heading up towards Djon. And I think my end spot today will be somewhere near Reams or Raths as the French pronounce it. Uh but let’s just see how we get on. I stopped here last night for a photo because it’s absolutely gorgeous. Well, it’s beautiful today as well. Circuit de Brris. B R E S S E. So, it looks like it might actually be a motorbike track day. That’s pretty cool. Wow. What an amazing looking circuit. I mean, I’m sure the weather’s helping, but I need to get a wiggle on, otherwise I’m going to be getting to tonight’s hotel really, really late. Well, I’ve been on the road almost an hour and 40 minutes, and I’ve covered just under 120 km. And once again by accident I am playing fuel roulette. Petra station is 12 km away and I have 5 km of range. So this is even worse than my situation yesterday. But at least I’m not on a motorway. But I’ve got to stop doing this. And it’s not the bike’s fault. It’s my fault. I’ve actually averaged an incredible 64.2 MPG today. We’re now at two kilometers of range left and we’ve got nine kilometers to go. Zero range and we’ve got 6.6 km to a fuel station. We’ve done it. Just over 7 km on zero. Let’s see if we can get over 14 lers in the tank today. 13. Well, that is as much as I’m going to get in there. 14.03. So, basically exactly the same as yesterday. All right, I’ve now been on the road about 10 minutes and the computers show me 372 km of range. So, if you add the 10ks that I’ve already done, that’s 382. Nearly 400 km of range going at today’s pace. Look at this for a piece of tarmac. And it goes on like this for 50 odd miles. I’ve pulled over to have a bit of a breather, get the helmet off, absorb some vitamin D. I thought it’d be a good opportunity to just have a quick look at the bike and more specifically the tires. So, I’m running Michelin Anarchy roads, which are designed for adventure bikes, and they’re designed for the road, hence the name. On a motorbike, you are upright most of the time. And if you’re upright on a motorbike, then you’re basically running on this center piece of tread, and therefore, you spend 95% of your time on that. So, the wear there is really high, but at the same time, that’s obviously got to give you acceleration grip and braking grip. And then the side of the tire, where you’re on that a lot less, although on this trip, I’ve been on the side of the tire a lot over the last couple of days. And these tires are actually two different compounds. So, you’ve got the hard compound down the center of the tire, and you got softer compounds on each side of the tire. And I’ll tell you what, they have been so impressive. They’ve really inspired me with so much confidence. And you can actually see hopefully that I’ve been getting right to the edge of the tire. Um, you can see that tread there is uh slightly scarred on both sides from where I’ve had it properly lent over, which is great. Well, that was a fantastic lunch. It was a menu starter main and dessert. €22, which is about 17 quid. I was eating lunch 2 minutes ago and then I’m straight into this. Ah, if only it wasn’t so busy. Oh, this is unreal. I’m going to miss this trip. I really hope that you’ve enjoyed this video series. I’m guessing if you’re this deep into episode three, then you’ve enjoyed it. I haven’t been able to watch back any of the footage because I decided not to bring my laptop just because it weighs so much. So, I really hope that everything has worked out okay. Right, you join me about an hour later and we’re just about to go down a road that we came up in episode one. It’s a wonderful piece of tarmac that Patrick and I actually filmed my 911 ST video on over on the main channel. Come around here and it just opens up. Look at that. Look at that for a straight road. Another fill up. And this time I’ve got 105 km of range left. All right. What do we reckon? 9 L. That is to the brim. Computer says 9.2 2 L. Yeah. Just over a kilometer away from this evening’s bed and breakfast. It’s been another relatively long day. 5 hours 40 minutes, 450 km, and we’ve averaged 58.8 8 MPG tomorrow. Well, it’s uh what about 2 and 1 half hours to Calala and then take the train and about 2 and 1/2 hours until I get home. So, there’s not going to be too much camera action tomorrow. I’ll give you all of my final verdict, final scores on the doors as well because well, I think there’s going to be some big numbers thrown in there. Oh, I think it might be this place. Here it is. Fantastic. Well, another booking.com special. This was £68, I think, for the night, including breakfast. I’ve got my own apartment. Teas, coffees, drinks in here. Got to pay extra for them, but what else do you expect? I’m going to have a quick shower, go and get something to eat, and then hit the sack. Right then, final day. Thank you very much. Another very pleasant stay. And last night actually they’d recommended um a cheap and cheerful place to go and eat. But I got there and it was closed. But I found another hotel/rest restaurant that was on a big beautiful lake about 15 minutes away from here. So I ventured down there. It was a bit more of a an expensive joint, but the food was pretty good. The service was pretty good. The first bit of today’s journey is cross country. I could head straight to the toll route, but I’m very, very early for my train. I think I originally booked like a 5:30 train. I’m going to try and get on a much earlier one. Get back to Lou. We have our niece and nephew staying with us today, so be nice to see them and hang out with those guys. Let’s see. I reckon I’ve got half a tank of fuel left, so I’m going to go with 8 L. Uh, that’s annoying. I was going to say 7 and 12 L, which is pretty much exactly what I got in 7.51, but I went with eight. But I think that’s my closest guess on this trip. Not sure if you can hear me, but wow. It’s been a morning of headwinds today on the toll route. Really has big old headwinds. Fuel consumption is horrendous, I think. Well, not horrendous, but compared to how it’s been. We’re now just coming off on the le shuttle turnoff. Here we go. Mr. Ashield, we we ah ouch. Okay, let’s get on that one. Let’s go and find somewhere to take a piss. This is a little motorbike park here. Pretty cool. All right. That is a nice color. It’s a bit different, isn’t it? Yeah. I’ve never seen one that color. Well, here we go. Getting onto the train with a couple of other bikes. Yeah, just had a massively overpriced, underwhelming salad at the terminal. Thank you. Well, goodbye France. Thank you very much for a lot of fun. I’ll be back. That 35 minutes was over very quickly, which is good. Wage is saying nearly 3 hours till I get home. There’s a lot of traffic on the M25. Just been chatting to this lovely couple that are in front of me. I think it’s an Africa twin. They live in Manchester. The husband is from Poland and they’ve just ridden to Poland and back to see family. By the time they get back to Manchester this evening, they would have covered over 6,000 kilometers, which is 4,000 miles, basically twice of what I’ve done. And they have done some serious mileage days. Like this morning, they set off in Germany. Germany to Manchester on one day. And look, the sun is out. Are you sure we’re back in the UK? I say that we’ve had a fantastic summer, haven’t we? Best summer ever. All right, first stop, fill up with fuel and get home. See Lou, see Peggy, see our niece and nephew. Oh, yes. We can just stop and fill up. We don’t have to put our card in a machine. Fantastic. I’m going to go with 12 lers. There’s 10 lers. I need to really brim it because I think I’m going to get home on fumes and I don’t want to have to fill up again. That’s it. That’s all she wrote. 10.9 L. System settings, units, speed, miles per hour. Right, let’s get out of here. Oh, it’s lovely to get cool breeze. Yeah. I mean, it’s still 22°, but just a nice breeze. And that’s where it all started. That’s where you check in when you go to France. My current ETA to get home is 1 minute past 5. And Lou is going out to get her hair done at4 to 5. So, I’m hoping I can make up a little bit of time in the traffic on the M25, but I won’t take any risks. It’s 27° out there. Well, I’ve somehow managed to make up about 20 minutes. No idea how because the traffic has been absolutely dire. Although being on the bike did come in handy in a few places. It’s now saying I’m going to be home at 17 minutes too, giving me 2 minutes with Lou if she leaves on time. And she’s always on time. So, I really hope that’s the case. I’m only 5 minutes away. This is going to help. Go green. Go green. Go green. Go green. Yay. Excellent. You join me about 10 minutes later and I thankfully did get to spend about 5 minutes with Lou before she headed to the hairdressers. So, it was worth the slog from Folkston and the Euro Tunnel. It’s been exactly six days to the hour since I set off here and it’s been absolutely epic. I’ve really enjoyed it. I really hope that you guys have enjoyed it and I’m guessing that if you’re this far into the third episode, then you must have enjoyed at least some parts of the journey. I will do a follow-up episode in the next few weeks where we can go over all of the costs from this trip and talk about the bike, all of the good points and a couple of the negative points. But before I say goodbye and thank you so much for watching all my content. But before you go away, I would love to urge you to subscribe if you haven’t already. Give us a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and leave any comments and questions below. any ideas that you want me to do with this bike or bikes that you want me to get my hands on, um, please let me know in the comments below. So, today we’re looking at 5 hours 22 minutes in the saddle. Just over 300 miles, average speed of 61 mph, and average consumption of 57.6, which again isn’t bad considering at least half of today has been on the motorway at sort of between 75 and 85 miles an hour. Let’s look at the overall onboard computer. I reset this 6 days ago when I left here. 42 hours 17 minutes. 2,038 miles, average speed of 52 mph, an average consumption of 57.6. Very, very impressive. I think the more impressive figure is the fact that it’s essentially done 58 miles to the gallon, which is unbelievable for a bike or a car. I’m going to go now because this video is probably so so long. But thanks once again for tuning in and I really hope that you enjoyed this three episode series. Cheers.
