- This is not how I wanted to leave Türkiye. With terrible weather coming and night falling I realise I've accidently started on the infamous D915, the "Death Road". It went about as well as can be expected...

See you on the road!
Kind of a cliffhanger this episode. Boy! You are one of a kind.
'I'm sorry mum, but don't worry, if you're watching this video it means all went well.' 😅
Someone had to still be around to do the editing 😝💁🏽♀️
Great episode! That weather at the beginning looked biblical 😄. Glad you’re enjoying some downtime in Georgia 👌🏻☕️
To be honest it looked pretty dangerous, not for the faint of heart. Lots of exciting moments, well done. Take care of yourself! 🥰👍
I actually had white knuckles and I kept leaning away from the edge as if that would accomplish anything. I'm quite grateful for the low visibility (selfish of me, yes) so I didn't have to know how steep the drop-off was.. Riveting! Adding to my list of Ferdia quotes: "Where grannies are there's good food."
It's a universal truth! 😄
I'm glad that you didn't go slip slidin away. It's great how you persevere and keep moving forward through all sorts of conditions. You are a brave man but, what else can you do? I love a good old thunderstorm but, only when I don't have to be out in it and I can watch it with a roof over my head. I was definitely feeling your tension as you started down that muddy road. I've been in some tense driving situations. They were almost always weather related like, getting caught in a crazy blizzard or maybe, I was the one that was crazy for getting caught in the blizzard. Fun stuff! I'm looking forward to your next video with eager enthusiasm!
Thanks James! 🥰🫡
Brilliant episode. love a good thunderstorm lol. that road and visibility was a bit dicey, but came out safe and well. look forward to the next one.
Fantastic episode, love your style mate. Just winging it, absolutely brilliant 👏
Gotta roll with it! 😄
Great episode mate! Looks like that road can get treacherous very quickly so nicely done. Might be doing this road later this year so thanks for the preview. 😎
Hence the training? 😎 It's actually grand, it's reputation is undeserved, you'll have done worse country roads at home 🤣
Great episode , well done 👍 would you not just get yourself a phone mount for the bike and use Google maps and use off line when data is expensive, must be a right pain in the arse stopping all the time to check your phone in your pocket. Honestly Google maps is probably better than most dedicated bike gps. Very enjoyable series so far thx.
Always on the lookout for one because yes it's a real pain. The GS bars are a little awkward and it's not such a priority which is why it's taking a while; for the moment the spoken directions from Google maps into my headset do the job. But a nice phone holder... Definitely on the cards 😁
@@unOrdinaryWorld I’ve tried a fair few over the years and the best for me so far is the ram quick grip, fairly cheap and works really well on the GS bars. I’ve dropped the GS loads of times and the phone is always still there and doesn’t get damaged. I’ve used voice before and with a good phone mount I nearly always just turn the voice off as I don’t like the nagging distraction and prefer to glance at the screen every now and then, plus it often gives you a good view of what the road is like ahead which can be very useful. Don’t use the butterfly tightening bolt and just stick a regular bolt onto the ram mount and then it’s nice and secure from the tea leaf’s 🤣 great to see “ babe’s” is clattering away nicely in Turkey 👍
That was all AI right??? 😎
😊🤪
🤣🤣🤣
Another episode you said you had a slipping clutch. Was it slipping on this hill climb? Hell of a great ride!
I can't remember! But I don't think so, it wasn't too steep 😬
