    Yay! First! Another excellent bit of vlogging Mr Jon. Not much in the way of motorcycle riding, but you both had so much to pack into a weekend, you are both very much excused. And what a weekend it was! Who doesn't like pirates! A slice of apple pie costs £1.50 in the Bahamas. A slice of cherry pie costs £1.75 in Grenada. A slice of key lime pie costs £1.45 in Jamaica. A slice of blackberry pie costs £2.25 in Barbados. These are the pie rates of the Caribbean. Thanks again for the entertainment and as ever, safe onward travels.

    Yay! Oh. 3rd. Looking at 7:05 ~ I see what you did there! Pan. Pan? I'll get my coat... If the old clutch hadn't given up the ghost, would you have still visited Classic Remise? What a lovely find old boy. I have zero interest in 4 wheels, but some of those old classic cars looked wonderful. I would have spent a fortune (on coffee) there. So pleased you are back on the road Mr Jon, and remember, if your road trip doesn't have mishaps along the way, its just a road trip, not an adventure. As always, a safe onward journey to you both. x

    I love your videos. I wish I could make my motorcycle videos on KZread at least half as good as your vids.. you have a new subscriber.. I always avoid major cities and congestion areas as you do when I make videos here in Pennsylvania, USA.. I like how you put it, you like mooching along. I was influenced forever. What is something that Marlon Brando said in the movie “the wild one” .. The girl he was trying to get acquainted with/actress Mary Murphy in the movie, asked Brando where he and his friends go. When they go for a ride, do they go on a picnic or what? Brando replied with a statement that included these words” we just go”.. those have been my motorcycle riding guidelines for more than four decades now. We just go. I love your videos, I’ll be watching

As for the ride Brando’s response is a perfect illustration of why 😊👍 Brenda’s camera work with the GoPro 12,(gifted by our riding friends from Indiana who joined us in video No2 of this longTour), is I think the reason for some wonderfully aesthetic shots, doing this from the passenger seat makes for a different view.
