Saturday April 4th 2020
So here we all are locked down for weeks and not knowing when this virus thing will be over..not even supposed to ride the motorbike, unless its essential; which getting out on the bike definitley is! I cancelled my Thailand trip in February and its looking highly likely that ALL the planned 2020 biking trips will now have to be postponed till 2021 🙁 But the priority for us all must be staying safe and getting through this difficult time.
I was looking forward to using my new Action Camera to record the Thailand trip and putting up a video on YouTube; and then it dawned on me. Instead, why not create a video montage using all the photos and video clips I’ve taken on my previous Far East trips and relive those adventures, and do a voice over that brings it all to life! So that’s what I’ve been doing the last few weeks, in between painting the garage and working in the garden. So far I’ve covered my first two Far East trips; please check them out and feel free to comment on the content.
PART 1. Watch this first: it explains why I chose Thailand and follows my first motorbiking adventure through Thailand & Laos in 2015.
Part 2 covers my second adventure in 2016, which was custom made to include Cambodia as well as Laos & Thailand. I would be joined on this trip by my riding buddy Bernard.
If these videos prove to be popular and we stay locked down for a few more weeks I plan to cover my other two Far East trips; to Myanmar and finally back to Thailand & Laos again. In complete contrast I may also give the fantastic Norway Artic Circle trip the same treatment.
I hope you enjoy the videos and please do leave any (positive/constructive :)) feedback on this site, or on my YouTube channel .. BigJohn Moto
In the meantime; my best wishes to you all, please look after yourselves and stay safe.
Brilliant John, couldn’t stop watching your recollection of our great trip.
Until the next one! Bernard
Glad you enjoyed the video and hope it brought back some good memories for you.
