Sounds like fun, might have to dig the cameras out and get back on board 🎉 Nice vid, I do like that 8s...

Ahh you should 🙂 Cheers... aye the 8S is a super fun bike to ride, refreshingly so 🙂

Love this! I’ll have to look into it. Gotta say, that ain’t what I consider a backroad 🤣 It was definitely a blast though 💪🏼

That's a great backroad! I keep waffling about doing this or not... I have so much content already uploaded... I'd have to do these as bonus vids every week... and that would make at least 4 videos published per week... hence the indecision. I also don't know what I'd do for "I". Glad to see you doing the series though - this will be fun to watch!

It isn't compulsory mate, just a bit of fun to try and wake folk up on the forum. It messes with my schedule too, but currently I don't have a backlog. Are all your planned videos time sensitive? or are they from content you recorded last year still?

@HippoDrones There's not much that's time sensitive, its just extending the delay. I'm only about 6 weeks behind now!

@@HippoDrones You've said that to me in the past... and I honestly gave it a try, right? Didn't help. I had a nagging thought that wouldn't stop rattling around in my noggin until I recorded it. Heck, it's even a talking head instead of a vlog because I couldn't get out and ride that week! [don't worry, I used a ton of riding clips to show my points]. It is what it is, I just feed the beast when it growls at me at this point.
