If I was looking for a adventure bike l would seriously look at one, lot of bike for the money. But I do love my Bonneville.
Complete ly agree jtc and malcolm. Love my T120 Bonnie too, apparently there's a new 650 Himalayan coming out soon. Could be a deal breaker, but then again would never part with Bonnie!
I have watched her a bit. I have to say, lovely eyes. She certainly isnt afraid to "give it a go", but the unfailingly sunny disposition got right on my pip. I also cant help but feel there is a bit more to it than meets the eye. The whole "i'm going here, nowhere to stay" ethos of all these channels just makes me think of when i went wild camping in North Wales with 2 mates, set up tents, walked 3 miles to the pub. Had a couple of beers with the usual, North Wales thing of hear us order beer with our English accents, everybody in the pub starts on the Croeso y Cymru, ambiwlans, Dollgellau, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch etc. Got back to where we had set up camp, absolutely nothing there. Had to get from Snowdonia to Bristol, 3 of us. Saturday night, 10pm, we had what we were wearing and what was in our pockets. No ID, no bank cards, no phones and 30 quid between us. Never seems to happen to these types.....
Stinger, seems you had some bad luck there. It does appear that she takes great care to make sure she stays in places that are listed, like Air b+b and hostels etc. Especially being a woman guess she has to be careful and wired up to dodge crap. She also seems to use technology like Maps-me and Overlander which can be a big help. Otherwise, like you, I did wonder how she has managed so well. But again, she has also stayed in some rubbish llooking places too.
Sometimes I wonder if she really is on own, she says she is. Sometimes I see her travelling in the distance and think someone else is filming her. Can you really get a drone to follow you like that?.
