The BSA Goldstar 650 heads to Ibiza ‖ Do we make good estate agents!?
So the travelling road show rolls on, after a lot of stress packing our car to the brim with stuff and getting the bike loaded...

You've made a good move coming to Spain, we did it ten years ago. England isn't the same anymore.

Hi Mick, we haven't got over the finish line yet. Need legal residence and a property but we've broken the 'grip' the UK had on use (fear of leaving etc). Enjoying it so far. Where did you settle? Thanks, Sean
Wow! Great location and I can feel the excitement and enthusiasm in your voices as you give the tour of your villa. You certainly are living the dream that many people, including myself have. Looking forward to sharing your adventures in Ibiza. Cheers and safe riding. Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

Hi Dan, thanks for the comment. We've lucked out with this villa getting it in low season for around 20% of the price in high season. I think to stay here in the summer, sadly unaffordable. It's an experience for sure, will try to enjoy it as much as possible.

Thanks for the awesome comment Dan, it could be easy to get complacent (very occasionally) with the life of dreams that we lead. But this trip is really lifting us both and we're super excited almost every day that we finally are living out what we have planned for years!! We love sharing our love of this too so it's always epic to hear that people are enjoying seeing what we're up to and coming along for the adventure ❤ happy to have you here x
I know you'll be jealous but we've got snow scheduled for tomorrow, terrific.

😂😂 now that is funny Ian. To be honest I quite like the snow. Not for motorcycling but it's so rare we get a heavy fall of snow in the Midlands these days. Last time was 2-3 years ago and we went sledging on the Malvern Hills if you can believe it. Cheers, Sean
What an amazing place you've found to stay! I thought it was great already, but then seeing the roof just blew my mind! I hope it works out well, and you two really enjoy it! It was cool to see how the trailer worked, it looks like a decent design, and relatively practical. A simple positives/negatives type review of it once you've had enough time using it that you feel you can make a definitive assessment of it would be wonderful.

Thanks Mark much appreciated. Yes we've been up on the roof this morning doing Yoga, nice view and Suzie loves it up there. I'll include some more details on the trailer in the next (or upcoming video) seems a few people were interested in it! So far no real downsides... thanks for the comment and support 👍🙏

Yep the roof blew my mind toooooo! Yoga up here everyday and then sunsets at night, plus we watched the moonbow last night, an incredible phenomena that needs just the right conditions - it's just so amazing! Definitely something for us to Manifest in out new home ❤
See what a lifestyle you can have doing KZread. 😂 How lovely, reminds me of days when it was just me and the misses...over 17 years ago lol Great seeing you have a good time....keep it going : ) I know the feeling of loading bikes like that...always nice when it lands right ha!

Thanks ER, appreciate that. If anyone thinks we can afford this from KZread, they stand to be disappointed 😂😂 as we both know. I'm having to do many hours at the laptop in the day job in-between all the fun stuff. Perhaps if 100x more people would watch the videos we might have a chance 😂. The bike loading is a tricky business, always touch and go isn't it. In hindsight a van might have been better! By the way ER the Meteor 350 is now being given away for £2999 new, if I recall you really liked it, perhaps a second bike?

@@MindfulMotorcyclist I have 2 already, 1 would have to go. Is 3k plus 200 OTR, and id want a supernova which are still 4k. Day job isn't going well and drying up so finances are not at their best. Also I only put about 1k on my own bikes last year because of the loaners so it wouldn't pay. I still like the though of a meteor though, just not viable at the moment.

Ah see I had the Supernova and if I was to buy again I'd have a Fireball. Easy to clean and no screen with wind noise. Sorry to hear about the downturn in work, that must be linked to the cost of living going up, I've noticed everything is getting more expensive 😟. Just watched your Hornet blooper reel video, that was entertaining and I feel you pain on recording with all that in the background. You end up annoyed and then have to be not annoyed on camera 😂😂 ah KZread.

Good to see you arrive safely in Ibiza. I waved goodbye to you as I drove past the ferry on Monday evening. Couldn’t see you wave back mind…😜 It was great to meet up with you both whilst you’re on an amazing tour around Europe. You are both an amazing and engaging couple who deserve to find your very own nirvana. Very best wishes to you and Suzie - keep those videos coming.

That is such a nice comment to receive, thank you Joe. I am always a bit hesitant to post 'non motorcycle' content as it generally doesn't receive as much interest by a long way compared to the motorcycle commentary/speculation type of video. The upside is it's a lot of fun to make and tbh it's harder to make a video on bikes when you are travelling. Thanks a lot for the support.

Thanks 🙏. Very much a rush jump cut edit all footage from Suzie's phone (she has the better camera), to set up all those shots on the Fuji would have taken forever. Very much a run&gun job 😂. As for my job, well as I said in the other comment, you know as well as me, this is not possible through KZread revenue 😂 so I'm at the laptop most days. I work for a US software company and I manage the distribution partners of software in EMEA and RoW. Thanks for stopping by and brilliant to see Darcy on another Spanish launch, first non corporate KZread channel to get access to Kawasaki! That was great content. Also, I would be good to hear perhaps on another video about your Spanish plans, I found that really interesting and as Suzie said on one of our videos your frank assessment of UK and Spain and bike riding helped us make this decision. Cheers, Sean

Thanks for your ongoing support both. We just love how we all share our journeys and follow along - we love seeing what you're both up to as well. Maybe we'll end up living in the same place 😂💕
Great beginning! A few thoughts. Being in the States, I have no idea where you are. Please start with a map of where you are. Next, give the credits. How did you find the property? Credit whomever would benefit from the advertising, and give me full information about how I would find it and lease it. Take a little more time showing the property. It seemed a little rushed. Enjoy it. At the end revile how much it is costing you. Again, excellent first run.

I'm off to Scotland in April, and will be towing my NC750 on a trailer. It's the best of all worlds in my opinion. It means I can take lots of gear, and also a decent sized tent if I want to camp. It also means the weather (particularly here in the UK) isn't an issue when it rains. Which it will.

It's the Motolug, I got it on Ebay. It helps when you are in an apartment and want to put it out of the way. I was advised not to get a 'mechano' bolt together trailer but I'm glad I did. It's also neat that it holds the bike in place whilst you strap it. Can be done as a one man job if needed...
Enjoy your time away. Was so interested in the trailer and loading the BSA. Looked a bit tricky. I be shitting myself that I over Rev and drop the bike. But be great to take up north to My favourite place, Ullapool.😊

Thanks Mark. Yes the trailer is a Moto lug, I was originally advised not to have a 'mechano' or bolt together trailer but it just works so well. Its nice to be able to use the trailer as a ramp and not have a separate piece for loading. All that being said it's still scary using the throttle and clutch at a weird angle and trying not to drop the bike 😂. As a side note have you seen Meteors are now £2999? All RE are cheap now if you fancied one. I need to make a video on it...

Awesome guys things are going nicely and I hope the fun continues ,so how many countries are you going to sample ? and just being nosey have you sold your house in the UK or rented it out "don't say if you'd rather not of course " . For sure if I were you I think the thought of coming back here would just horrify me 😉 and Suzie your braver than me jumping into cold water well done on that one .😂👌👍

Hi Crumbly, no we haven't sold the UK house. We will have to go back and sell it. I am not too inclined to rent it incase their are problems when we are away. If we use the money from the UK house to buy another property it will be in a hot area you can rent it to tourists and not a residential let. Yes I am not sure I can return to the UK now, we also didn't live in that nice an area, not awful but nothing great either so the house has limited appeal. Jumping in 😂😂
