Good & Bad news I'm afraid...I will start with the bad...its in my garage..in bits at the moment...I have just had surgery on my shoulder(following my off in France(see 3eyes2bikes1sense of humour video:ep 7?)..and have promised to revive the beast!..(out of loyalty for the bike...it used to lead a sheltered life as a training bike!!)
The good news...yes...it's the same bike- he has clocked up some stupid mileage...and for those of you that religiously service your bikes...I'm here to tell you ...YOU ARE ALL FOOLS & wasting your ££...take snipers approach of "deal with it when it stops!"- he is the antifuckingchrist to servicing!(hope that gets through the swear filter)
...you will be even more impressed...(as was I)- to learn he had the same tyres from the previous trip (despite ordering new ones..as I ORDERED him to)...it all comes out in the film!...pray for me & watch the despair in my eyes!!!- it's so evident!

Like the ride it till it stops mentality :cheer:

Here's to a speedy recovery with your sholder (thumbs) ,

I'm sorry for the delay, but I am again awaiting responses from the other riders who came on the trip, while getting clearance from a songwriter to use his excellent music, without adverts ruining your viewing experience. (all episodes, with the exception of one, will be advert free). I have however got clearance 40 MINUTES ago and so if you watch the film- you will see it is now a trailer with a date on it!...( saved you having to go back!)


When one of the travellers returns- then I can square the last bit away (hopefully you get a flavour of how I had to "herd cats!")...thanks though for the offer of virtual tea!
I will also start a new post.
Regards
Rod

OK- it has just gone live on Youtube about 1 hr ago & so I cannot unfortunately give you the direct seach string...however, if you search on youtube "shaw2shore" & then go into videos- its the latest one on there. titled .
"Trailer -Western Sahara, Morocco and Spain- the film" if you get a chance to subscribe on youtube, you will get them all.

Keep us informed of your plans & if I can help in any way..let me know (but after the film is released please)...its killing me!

Subscribed! That's a great trailer...I'm looking forward to the film! (thumbs)
