Thanks Exmouth. Yeah, that is a great spot for some drone shots and I did intend to capture more footage in other spots during the ride but right at the first flight, the drone misbehaved and disappeared of its own volition. I did manage to get it to come back but it was very nearly gone forever. So after that I was a bit nervous about flying it and hence kept this flight very short and didn't feel confident in letting it get too far away from me. It was very odd. It didn't return to home when it lost signal, like it is supposed to. It was just hovering "somewhere". But I managed to set off in the general direction, signal got restored and then I managed to fly it back manually. Yes, one more part of Quinn's interview to come. Grumpy ER with a hangover 😂 Thanks for watching Dave and look forward to ER-mageddoning with you again soon. I'm thinking that I might do the "Hot Chip Challenge" I mentioned previously. You know, just to mix things up a bit. "Dave" can then have the night off 😝 Anyway, take care in the meantime Steve and love to you and the Exmouth posse ! El Outro and Robbie

Beautifully chosen music, Garry. It suited the first part of the ride so well. I love the new introductory music too. Great to see you out on Buddy again.

Hi Peter. Well, you will not be surprised at all to hear that I spent longer choosing the music than I did editing the rest of the video 😂 That seems to be a recurring theme 🤔 I'm glad that you enjoyed it, makes the effort worthwhile. I was pretty happy with the end result of that first part of the video. Something a bit different before we went into "another normal ER video" *yawn* 😂 I like to mix things up from time to time, just to keep you lot awake 😇 The two new musics in the intro were introduced because some weird Korean bloke put in a copyright claim. First for the second piece of music and once I changed that, he came back and did it for the first piece of music as well. I dare say that I could have got YT to check if that was a justifiable claim ( possibly, because the video was monetised and therefore "commercial" in the eyes of the law ) but I just thought it easier to change the music for something similar which is licensed for commercial use. Life's too short. I always take the path of least resistance ! After filming this video, we had another eight days of terrible storms but yesterday the weather turned and we should have warm temperatures and moderate winds until the middle of next week. So it's looking promising for another ride at the weekend. If I don't spend it cleaning Buddy, which is another job which desperately needs doing ! Cheers Peter, take care and get out when you can !

@@Lanes-Explorer5733 Hello Peter. The almond blossom has been and gone unfortunately. It comes out from the beginning of February. Unfortunately, as you now know, that was when the storm winds started and they have continued into this week. So there was blossom but it was quickly torn off the trees by the wind. So as much as I was looking forward to riding somewhere where I know there would have been a lot of it, this year a) I couldn't ride and b) the blossom was long gone anyway. But hopefully I'll get lucky next year. Heck, I might even see some almond blossom 😝 It was nice here yesterday and today it's going to be 19C, so there is at least a hint that spring might finally be arriving.

Hi Mike ! Thanks for the pic. Is it okay if I flash it up in a future video ( steady on "Dave" !!! 😂) ? I'd be happy to, if you are okay with that. Just as a follow up to the mention I gave you. I see the pannier rails and soft bags. Very smart. Buddy is my "Baby bagger" and I think the Meteor can carry that look off very well. You just need to keep the bags in proportion with the size of the bike, which you have clearly done. You could definitely go touring on A, B and C roads with a Meteor. They'll thump away merrily to get you to your next destination, no problem. I would love to do a long trip on Buddy but unfortunately "dog life" means that I can't really be away for more than a few hours at a time. I'm glad if I helped you to find the right bike for you Mike. I've done 10k km on Buddy in two and a half years and still love him. If you like your bike now, I'm sure that your story will be similar to mine. Cheers Mike. I hope you can hook up with Wee Mark for a ride sometime. That would be nice.

Thanks Quinn. Yes, that is a great spot for getting some nice drone footage. I will return in the future to fly again and see what I can capture. This was a bit of a rush job and I didn't end up with much useable footage because the first attempt didn't end well. The drone was freaking out and just went off on its own and eventually I lost all signal and all control. I managed to regain signal by riding off in the general direction and flew the drone back manually. But after that I didn't trust the drone, but was determined to at least get A BIT of footage for the video. So those images were recorded after "the rogue drone incident" and I didn't have 100% confidence in the drone, so kept the flight short and safe ! I hope a few people from here pop over to view your interview. In part two I do actually jokingly tell them not to bother but only from a personal point of view, not because the videos themselves are not worthwhile ! No offence intended, I was only joking !!! 😬 Hopefully Part One will get them hooked and they'll stay and watch the rest ! 🤞 Cheers buddy. When are you getting the 452 ? Must be due soon ?

Thanks Shardlake. Well, don't get used to the drone footage because it was a right faff 😂 Actually it was very stressful filming this time because the drone became sentient and made a run for freedom. It also didn't return to base once it lost signal, like it was supposed to. But fortunately I managed to track it down, give it a jolly good thrashing and knock some sense into it. When I got home I flew three batteries without a reoccurrence, so clearly these drones need a firm hand ! After this day, as predicted, we had eight days of wind and rain. Today is apparently the start of a few decent days once more. Yesterday we had 3C and today we had 19C. Crazy variance in the weather here from day to day !

Hi Kristopher, that's interesting but doesn't really surprise me. There will be a reason why the "Spaghetti Westerns" were filmed here. Cheaper and less distance to travel for those Italian directors, yet with similar scenic backdrops. Actually, it's quite interesting to hear how a mini-industry was built up here AROUND the Spaghetti Westerns. Local people became very good set builders and costume makers etc. That in an area where previously there was only a little bit of agriculture and not a lot of work around. It had quite a big impact when the local area was no longer of interest to the film industry and they pulled out. The area around Tabernas really was a "Mini-Hollywood" back in the day, with many people working exclusively for the film industry ! I'd definitely like to ride in Arizona and New Mexico but fortunately for me, like an Italian movie director, I apparently have something comparable right outside my doorstep 🙂 Cheers Kristopher, Garry & Ruby.

Didn't mean that to sound like an advert for a carpet warehouse 😂 The yellow is a great colour, really attracts attention. The best colour in the range in my opinion. Don't really understand why they would discontinue it, but as long as we have ours, I suppose it doesn't really matter ! You've made a great choice with the Meteor, I'm sure you'll absolutely love yours as I do mine. I've had Buddy for almost three years now and I still smile every time I set off. Almost certainly the best bike I've ever owned because it just delivers the pure enjoyment of riding a bike in a way which no other bike so far has managed. It's also a bit of a Goldilocks bike in that it is not too big, not too small, not too cheap, not too expensive, it's simply just right for the job ! I'm originally from Dorset, so we are practically neighbours Michael - well, if you ignore the distance I covered when I moved from there to Spain that is 😉 Enjoy tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and keeping things crossed that it's dry enough for you to start putting the first miles on that new Meteor of yours 👍🏻 Thanks again for getting in touch. It's always nice to know who my viewers are and what they're up to. It's the best part of the "job" for me 🙂 If you feel so inclined, please also let me know how you get on with your Meteor.

Hi Simon, well, as expected, after filming this one, we had eight days of terrible winds and rain. Also very cold. So it was just as well that I took the day off to make the most of this one beautiful day sandwiched between weeks of terrible days. Today is supposedly the first day of a nicer spell of weather here. Yesterday we had 3C and 80kph winds. Today we had 19C and 25 kph winds. Tomorrow should be 19C or more with moderate winds and that is set to hold until the middle of next week 🥳 But 3C yesterday and 19C today is an extreme variance in weather and we've had something similar multiple times this year already ! Very strange ! Anyway, I hope you get some decent weather soon mate 🤞 It's looking like I should be able to get out again at the weekend, so that's a huge relief ! Cheers Simon, Garry & Ruby ❤🐕

HI Martin, no, I'm pretty sure you weren't riding in that part of the Filabres. This whole ride is a circuit for me, it really is a beautiful ride taking in several really pretty roads. It would be a nice little ride to do together, very scenic with at least one bar for a little break along the way. I thought the drone footage was a bit shoddy and most of it ended up on the cutting room floor because my hands were still shaking from the previous flight where the drone went rogue on me and just flew off into the distance. It didn't even return to him when it lost the signal ! Fortunately I did the right thing. I rode the bike in the general direction with the controller on the bars. Signal was intermittently being restored as I got closer, I pulled over and one of the times the signal came back I managed to quickly hit return to home and it did as it was told. It was nerve wracking to say the least. I almost didn't bother putting it up again but was really determined to come back with at least some aerial footage, so I did this brief and very nervous flight ! When I got home I flew three batteries and the fault never returned, so I guess it was just one of those days ! I was intending to film some more drone footage for the second part of the ride, which is the other side of the mountains but by that time I decided to cut my losses and not risk any more flights ! Maybe next time ! Cheers Martin. If you want to ride the roads of these two videos together, it can be arranged. I am always happy to do this ride again and again ! Take care, Garry & Ruby

@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 Hi Martin. Yes. I'm seriously thinking that my next camera will be a DJI. I see that Itchy Boots wasn't happy with the image quality of the Insta360ONE ( the Insta360 non 3D camera ) which was a camera that I had considered before buying my second Hero9. So if the Insta360ONE is no good and I am looking for an alternative to GoPro, that really only leaves DJI. They seem to be gaining in popularity as a moto vlog camera, so probably an excellent choice. I will never get a 360 camera because I can't "unsee" some of the distortions you get in the footage. Those cameras also add an extra step to the workflow because you have to first select the angle for all of the clips in the footage before exporting it into your project. So no, I won't be bothering with that. Fixed FOV is my preferred type of video, personally. The drone thing was weird. The drone was jittery on take off, which was probably a sign that I should have powered off and started again. It got about 100 metres away and suddenly I was getting weak signal warnings. Before I could turn back it said "no connection". So then I could do nothing. I had no view of where it was in the app and I couldn't send any commands from the remote, because it had lost the drone. I very nearly thought "sod it" ! I have DJI Refresh and I had a screen recording of the flight, so DJI would probably have replaced it without issue. But once I'd calmed myself down I decided to head off in that direction with the remote and sure enough the signal was starting to be restored and finally I had control once more. Very odd though. I then removed the battery and put another one in. I then flew at least ten times further away with absolutely no connection warnings. So my guess is that the drone just didn't initialise correctly that first time, although I had 30+ GPS satellites and no warnings on the screen 🤷‍♂ I have heard in many KZread videos that if your DJI drone is doing odd things on take off DO NOT START THE FLIGHT but try again from scratch. That seems to have been the case here but it was quite windy up there and I thought that the drone's jerky movements were just its attempts to counter the wind. But it didn't do the same on the second launch, so no, clearly it was having issues on the first boot up ! Cheers Martin. Enjoy your new camera ! Garry

Hi Ken ! Supermoto eh ? Sounds a bit spicy for me but I like the sound of it ! Well, we do have a few permanent speed cameras to worry about, but you quickly learn where they are. But then we also have to deal with mobile speed controls which can pop up anywhere. But with Spain being such a big country with relatively few police to cover vast rural areas, you'd have to be fairly unfortunate to ride into one on a Sunday ride IMO. I think most people here in the sticks certainly drive/ride as if there are no speed limits. I try to stay close to the speed limits but I also try to maintain an enjoyable pace on these twisty roads. One of the great things about the 350s is that even if you do get caught speeding, you are unlikely to be doing much more than the speed limit 🙂 If the road is twisty enough, you can still have plenty of fun at near legal speeds !

But this video was in an area with no restrictions, so I was finally able to use it as intended ! Yes, the roads here in Almería province are almost always well maintained. Cross the border into Granada province and it's a different story though ! I think Almería must be one of the best parts of Spain for really enjoying motorcycles. I hear more and more that the roads in the UK are being maintained less and less. I even see it in other people's videos ! It must be really apparent when you ride a road that you ride regularly and you see just how much it has worsened every time you go out. We used to always complain about roadworks but I imagine that these days, in the UK, they would be seen as a cause for great celebration ! How times change eh ? It's a real shame but hopefully things will start to improve soon. Avoid the potholes and bodged road repairs as best you can and enjoy your bike David. Take care and thanks again for your kind words ! Garry & Ruby

That's great Mike, delighted to have you onboard ! We're a friendly bunch, so if you ever have any questions just fire away in the comments. I also do the occasional live show with live chat, which is a good opportunity to meet a few other like minded nutters who watch my stuff 😉 Thanks for the sub and thanks for introducing yourself Mike, very pleased to see you here 🙂 Have a great weekend 👍🏻 Garry & Ruby

Ah Blake, but one of those goats was sure to be the g.o.a.t. goat ! Stands to reason, that was so many goats ! Oh. My 20 year old tin of tobacco is just about empty now ! Never thought I'd see the day ! Still haven't managed to get some replacement baccy because that shop only opens in the morning and I'm not a morning person. Come to think of it, neither am I a midday or afternoon person. It's the nighttime when I come alive. I guess I'm either a vampire or a rock 'n roll star ! 🦷 or 🎸🤘 Hmmm.....🤔

@@economicalrides funny, I became a morning person when I was born. I was never asked to go to bed, I would always just go as I knew I would hate the neck cramp or back aching all day would remind me. But I then like a drink for lunch and it's all down hill from there

@@economicalrides I am interested on hearing what tin you buy. I like flavor to my bowl. But I have so many tins waiting for me to pop it. Don't drink late at night and purchase more tobacco. I will feel ok, as I was a little low...... 65 tins or less is low. I like to have 100 or so tins for the just in case moment of life. Gives me 2 years of tobacco with enjoyment. Wish you lived down the street! But really interested in what you get!

@@BlakesPipes 😂 Lunchtime drinking is a definite no no for me Blake. If I do that, I have to have a nap ! I usually only drink after sundown, when it doesn't matter if I fall asleep in my armchair or not 😝 I am most definitely an evening person, so maybe we should team up and between us we'd get to see a whole day for once ! 😝 Cheers Blakester !

@@BlakesPipes Hi Blakester. So presumably you buy baccy online ? That seems to be more or less impossible over here, probably because of taxation and licensing. I have managed to find the odd online cigar shop in Europe and often they also sell some pipe tobacco but their prices are astronomical. Unfortunately I think I am going to be limited to whatever my local tobacconist has in stock. Or of course, if I am ever in a different town or city, pop into a shop there and perhaps find something different and interesting. But hopefully I'll find something decent locally. I'm definitely going for tins rather than pouches because it will need to keep for a while, especially if I add a second or third tin to the collection later on. The last tin lasted nearly 20 years after all 😂 Cheers Blake, I'll keep you informed, send you a pic, whenever I have something ! Garry

The 650 is more of a cruiser like, the newer version 800 is more of a standard bike. I see that the old pic of Dave's has been misplaced already.. Nobody saw that, I'm sure of it.

Hi Stefan. yes, fortunately for "Dave" I have moved that image to one of the "niche art" folders on my computer and when I did flash it up briefly that one time, I was very quick to take it back down. So it's all good and "Dave" is thankfully none the wiser 👍🏻

@@davericketts9101 Yes. I agree. Looks almost exactly like the W800 to me 🤷‍♂ Maybe they are different in Bulgaria ? But I think we all agree that they are both cracking looking bikes and if I had the choice I think would prefer the 650 too, simply because the kick-starter is more authentic and I would enjoy using it ! If I ever come into money, I would seriously consider trying to find one over here. Fortunately they are the kind of bike that owners tend to take great care of, so hopefully any one I did manage to find would likely to be in decent condition. You are very lucky to have found that one in that colour and that condition. It's a thing of beauty Dave ! Willers clearly likes it too. She can smell its beauty I'm sure !

I have Heard that there is a belt drive conversion for the RE 650 . Is there one available for the RE 350?

Yep. I heard about the conversion for the 650 but no similar conversion for the 350 as of yet. Definitely a mod I would do, should it become available for the 350 though Frank ! I hate greasy, mucky chains ! Stay safe buddy, enjoy the Beezers ! 👍🏻 Garry
