Awesome, thank you!

Your absolutely right. This video was shot on our last day in Morocco and we did indeed take multiple days of dehydrated food with us. We normally are pretty much completely self sufficient, with the exception of water. Naturally the trade off is more weight on the bike. Like you said I think the perfect balance is having a few (2-3)? Emergency rations and then buying and cooking on route. Jason purchased a petrol stove but it only lasted 4 days before it failed. I need to make a video on it. Totally rubbish. Luckily my trusty MSR pocket rocket came to the rescue. Thanks for the comment.

Wise words👍🏼

Good question. Once the SD card is full we simply replace it with an empty one. I don’t back the footage up on the road. Typically before I swap the cards over I have a quick scan at the footage to check it’s ok( This is where I found out I had no sound for 3 whole days) but rectified it. I really don’t properly get to see the footage until I get home. Due to the sound issue, I will now san each footage at the end of the day on the recording device to prevent major cock ups like that happening in the future.

Hi, I was just discussing this with my mate yesterday. I’ve now travelled to 10 different countries on the T7 in under a year so I now understand the bike well. If I were to buy a bike right now to replace the T7 it would be another T7. That said I stand by my comment in that I believe my old GS was the best bike I’ve ever owned. To me it is brilliant but total overkill. The sad fact is the majority of my miles are commuting to work and I don’t need a 1200cc bike for that. We just returned from Morocco where we tackled off road pistes and a bit of the TET in Spain, we’re both poor off road riders but the T7 felt like a little mountain goat and saved my ass on more than one occasion. I could go on and on because I’m quite passionate on the subject but the T7 does everything the GS does, less comfort, better off road, sounds and looks way better. It may sound childish but when I sit on the T7 and rev it I feel like I’m on the start line of the Dakar and I guess if the bike puts a big grin on your face it’s half the battle. Thanks for the comment. If you have any further questions fire away. 👍🏻

@@GreenString thank you for the reply sounds like I’ll be booking a demo bike T700 for a test ride , I’ve just got in from a day in the Welsh mountains on the GSA and just plodded all day so I don’t Evan need it’s power , Thanks for the info I’ll stay tuned to the channel 😎👍👍

Sorry it took so long, my mate, who owns it, was away. Anyway he got it from a German horse riding shop of all places here is the link for what it’s worth: www.kraemer.de/Themen/Reflexartikel/LED-Licht-Clip-On I hope this helps, stay safe & keep riding 👍🏻

@@GreenString Thank you Sir!

The good news is I’ve had a couple of days off work and been grinding through the editing process. The bad news is I’ve only managed to produce about 2 minutes of “finished product” footage😫…but it is looking good 👍🏼

@@GreenString I've no doubt it will be good .. really looking forward to it 👍

Help! I don’t understand what you mean? 😐

Good question. They support your lower back, especially good on long distance riding. As an added bonus they also keep you warmer in colder conditions. I guess Jason’s wife told him he must wear it? Personally I’ve never used one. I just slump over my bike like a sack of potatoes 😂👍🏼

Hey there, I am Jason’s wife. Well, why a kidney belt? The vibration while riding your bike is also shaking your kidney’s. To keep them more in place, you use the kidney belt as support. Yes, they also keep you warm, but in the first place I believe the support of the organ is the most important thing. Guys you only have two kidneys…keep them safe. Stay safe and enjoy your rides.

Wise words and much better than the half arsed answer I gave to the question. I might invest in one now! Thank you👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and giving us some feedback. It’s appreciated. Although there are similarities in the way we pack, generally Jason is happy to carry a couple of extra Kilos to afford him more comfort in the field and I cannot blame him. Over the years we have systematically reduced what we carry. It’s always a balance on a long tour of what you should and should not take and I never ridicule anyone. It’s a very personal matter and in our case an ever evolving decision that usually is dependent on where and when your going and for how long. We’re still learning every trip.

@GreenString fantastic. Makes perfect sense... I'm heading down to Bavaria for my first motorbike trip, since Swanage on a RD350LC (1984 ish). I've noticed quite a few advancements in camping technology since then 🤣

Haha, most tents are no longer made of canvas😂
