Hey guys. Great to see you had a happy ending to your car troubles and that you made it to the ferry on time. Hope the trip home was smooth and uneventful. On a non motorbike topic …. Your personal interactions are fun and interesting to share. The channel works great when you both contribute. Keep up the good work, Sean AND Suzie. Cheers and safe riding, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

Thanks Dan, really appreciate the vote of confidence in us both appearing on screen 👍🙏🙂

Sean and Suzie, I'm glad you got the car sorted. Welcome back to England where I think your real work begins trying to decide you favourite place to live in Spain. I look forward to your next video.

Thanks William, appreciate the comment and the support 😃

Hi again Sean and Susie. I’ve really enjoyed the Ibiza videos!. I had a bit of a profound moment this morning when Susie commented on the colours that you are aware of. I moved the most stunning region of Italy about 11 years ago and recently I’ve probably not been appreciating it enough. The old saying of familiarity breeding contempt!. Susie’s comment reminded about the colours and beauty of where I live. So, not motorcycle related but never underestimate what other comments might do😜

Hi Ryan, thanks for this comment and nice to get some positive feedback. I passed on your comment to Suzie and she was quite touched what she had said had such an impact. She's great at insights like this to be honest, whilst not motorcycle content she has always huge gratitude for all the amazing moments in life and never takes it for granted...

l do love a ferry, l know the channel tunnel is so much quicker but the ferry makes it feel like i'm on holiday 😂👍

The ferry is class isn't it, sense of excitement is hard to describe. A plane you're crammed in like sardines, here you've got this whole place to run around. Makes me feel like a kid again 🤣🤣

So glad you got sorted and back on the road. I for one enjoy the banter and the mix of bike and change of life vibe as you sojourn around the med. I’m looking forward to seeing where your travels take you. I wish I had done what you guys are doing when I was your age. Live your life to the best and enjoy those blue skies. They have such an amazing impact on one’s health and wellbeing. Been back now in the UK for 2 weeks and boy is it depressing.

Thanks Nigel, nice to have some positive feedback about the slight change of direction! I mean it's not on purpose, we just don't have the friendly MidWest Moto dealership or MotoGB from whom to borrow bikes 😂. I actually love a bike review, so much fun and you feel really grateful having essentially that 'new bike' day but without the payment or the long term commitment! I'm heading back through the UK for a work trip, I've got my coat!

You did the right thing not to activate the breakdown recovery. They wouldn’t tow you home. In the first instance they would try and fix it and would have taken the car to a garage to be assessed regardless of if you missed the ferry. If it was unfixable then they may tow to ferry and home but depending on cost in worst case may decide to write off the car. This happened to me in France with Carole Nash with my bike. Luckily they fixed it at a cost of 220 euros (14 years ago) and had to stay an extra two nights and missed ferry so had to rebook it. I was not amused - you are better off not bothering with recovery and arrange for repairs yourself or just book a tow truck to ferry home in worst case.

Great that you got the car fixed. Load up, and ready for the ferry. Must admit, I be petrified to load my bike on the trailer. Safe travels.😊

Thank you Mark, by the way theres been a little bit of a debate on here over the last couple of videos about not enough motorcycle features in favour of more travelling content. I've had some worried emails suggesting I might be jeopardizing the channel! As a long time subscriber could I ask if you have a preference for any type of video? Thanks.

Thanks Crumbly that's great. We've come a little bit away from bikes just due to our circumstances now changing. I don't have the local dealership from whom to borrow demo machines or MotoGB to lend bikes anymore so we've kinda improvised 🙈. All I can do is thank the people who are leaving for their earlier support, of course everyone who comes on here at any stage of the channel's evolution is appreciated. We did happen upon a motorcycle rental company today funnily enough, they open officially 1st April but they said they would do something for us if we wanted. So we might be back on topic quicker than people think 😉. Cheers, Sean

Glad that you're all sorted in time Sean, Suze would love the yoga week in the hotel invisia es figeral in October, all the best yoga teachers in the world go,we don't even do yoga but it was fun to watch 😂🙂🏍🇬🇧👍

I'm not sure I'd willingly return to the UK after living in the Spanish climate (or any milder and drier climate for that matter). This being my first winter season, I now understand the frustration bikers feel, it's not particularly pleasant getting cold and wet, even though I wear multiple layers, have heated grips, winter gloves etc. No matter what, cold is cold, and it's a prolonged misery in the UK sometimes, especially this year 😡 Hope you got back without issues, but where are you planning to go next in Europe and will Susie be getting her own bike?

@MindfulMotorcyclist

Hi Lee, yes it's a funny one and it's really how you approach it. You can gear up to the max with all the protective waterproof equipment but you've got to have heated grips or gloves in the cold. It's the pain of cleaning the bike after you've used it, makes it not worth any ride that's shorter than 30 mins as you'd spend 30+ mins cleaning. There's also no other riders out and about, bike stops are shut up so it can feel like quite a lonely ride and you've got to be back by 4pm unless you want to ride in the dark. So yes in summary it's grim! 😊

i think you will find that your banks cover is minimal and covers little -- you only get what you pay for ;;;

Sorry, but the Motorcycle part of the channel is what I signed up for, especially the BSA part! So..., if I don't like what's being dished up ie. food, clothes, yoga etc, then I can move on. Don't tempt me Suzie...! Don't forget the name of this channel does include the word "motorcyclist" so inevitably it's the Biker community that are going to be attracted to the channel. So please keep it civil, which is exactly what i'm trying to do, as I write this. If you wanna grow the channel, then keep it more Bike orinentated or, change the name, or even start a 2nd channel for all things cake, cloth and yoga. I started here with Sean thinking this is gonna be good, and even chipped in with my thoughts and praise. I hope it's going to stay as good as it started out, and also continue to give me reasons to praise and "like" your future YT offerings. Happy travels and a safe and secure crossing back to the Mainland. Swiss greets, Steve.

Well said. I subscribed when it was about motorcycles, unsubscribed when they diverted to holidays, food, clothes, car breakdowns and everything except motorcycles. The channel has changed from Sean's BSA and biking show into Suzi's fashion , yoga, food and holiday show.

Guys I understand your point of view and we'll do our best to keep in on bikes, I guess our lives have changed in the last 12 months. When I was in Worcestershire I had access to the dealership who were kind enough to let me take out their bikes and also MotoGB sent me a couple of bikes to ride. I've lost all that being in Spain so I've just filmed what we are actually doing right now. I will say I'm not an expert on bikes anyway, it's more of a passion. If you guys do unsub then let me first thank you for all the support earlier on in the channels growth. Was and still is really appreciated. Cheers both. Regards, Sean
