I can't claim to have found this video as it was posted on the forum as part of the latest Ireland HU thread. But I think it is worthy of it's own thread and highlighting as top viewing.
It's all on YouTube and follows the adventure of 'two blondes' setting out from Ireland. I've watched Long way down, Long way Round, Mondo Enduro, Terra Circa, Moto Siberia etc and well I think this travelling tale/video ranks among them. And you can't fail to warm to the two Aussies, especially when the going gets tough in Kazahkstan which is as far as I have watched. Certainly if you are thinking of a RTW trip these two are a top example of how you can do it.
The videos vary from 10 to 15 minutes long and the quality of both the pics and sound is fine. I hope you enjoy and it's far better than any reality TV. If people have seen them before and I've missed that sorry but it's the first time I've seen them, they just make you want to start the bike and go. Cheers

Re: Inspiring Tales.
Not wanting to spoil the story but like good beer it's better the more you drink. Don't be tempted to skip to the end but savour the journey and see how these two 'get into it'. Enjoy.
I see that on the next trip to South America they have opted for the F650 GS single after the issues with the XT's. It will be interesting to see how they get on !

You can only guess what was going through his mind as she rode up his drive. Top girl though, luckily I'm blessed with one from a similar mould !

I went to the Caribbean on holiday with my wife last year.
Jamaica?
No, she wanted to.
