It works now with Chrome, it just took a while before anything happened :)

Well done evade and a good vid, no talk, no cracked sounds made by wind, a pleasure to watch, almost like being there myself :)

Very good video.

I made it!

Nice teaser, but this itinerary deserves at least dozen 45 minute episodes, with some serious editing (to cram in all the content you probably made).

1 TB of videos and 13,000 pictures???

Started to upload Videos to Youku, have over 60 so far.
But these videos are RAW videos, what you see is what you get, no editing done.
Can post the link if you are interested.

I am just working on a picture video using about 600 pictures hope to have it done soon.

Don't hesitate - give us link to your channel.

I currently follow, on our local moto forum, one guy's adventure from Serbia to Magadan, city in the Russian Far East, on his ancient "Honda". Yesterday, he was with some local bikers in Omsk. His raw videos which arrive successively, are interesting now, while he is on the road, but when it all ends, IMO, to perceive all that journey. it is better to watch some good edited video.

Here is the link http://i.youku.com/i/UNDc3OTc0MjQ5Mg...zp.8244740.0.0


Most are from China on the TR-G with some from Thailand on my Honda CRF 250L

Tiger Leaping Gorge are good ones to view

Best view in 1080p
can change in setting easy.

I have watched ride through Tiger Leaping Gorge. It looks to me like Morača Canyon in Montenegro.

17 min 43 sec. Is that memory card capacity?

Have a 64 G card in the GoPro, with the setting I get 4.5 hours.
GoPro videos in blocks about this length of time and the next block is just a roll on.
Rode Moraca Canyon in Montenegro?
Not the same Zorge IMO

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Leaping_Gorge

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mora%C4%8Da

I saw that dozen of your videos have the same duration - 17:43, so I realized that there is some pure technical reason for that.

And it is clear that two canyons are not the same, but I tell you what were may first impressions when I saw your video. I have passing through Morača Canyon quarter of a century ago, sitting on a back seat of my father's car, impatiently waiting for the seashore to appear. :mwink:

Hi Zorge

The Video I like is the one on the G214 leaving Deqin early in the morning, Temperature was about -5C so I was expecting some BLACK ice.

My riding friend was up in front.

You will notice I am taking it very easy, at 3.00 look to the far right of the video and you will notice my friend starting to run back up the road?
As I get to the right-hand corner I see my friend who is looking very scared and indicating he had come off and for me to slow down.

What you don't see is as I pass him he grabs my back top box and helps me to slow down.
Brakes are not doing much.... lol

I decide to let the bike roll further down the road into the sun hoping the road will be in a better condition, and also there are other roads users behind me and I need to make sure I get out of there way.

I think it was the big lorry further down the road that originally hit the road bank.
Some get scenic views worth a look.

And did my friend save my Bacon .......... A BIG YES.

Watch in full HD is best.

Oh, yes, I have watched this "winter" video (among, so far, half of dozen other videos from your channel). Crisp scenery indeed. I can almost feel this sharp cold air.

But tell me did you make some videos in which you interact with the people you met on the road?

The only interaction I like is between me the bike and the countryside.
I tend to give the people a miss ????

Ice equals death with a motorbike.

In Finland to get from A to B by road, you will have many choices, I would imagine.

Many times in China you don't have an option?
In This case, I was trying to get Shangri-la to Ya'an
.
The best way would have been to take the G214 heading north to Markam then on the G318.

Nice and easy, but as you pass Deqin on the G214 you start to cross over into Tibet.

So that leaves me with the only option is to take the X219 heading over some very high mountain peaks, it is the end of April the chances of snow covered roads was very high.

So as the saying goes "Onwards and Upwards"

With the correct tyres and a lighter bike, the roads would have been more interesting, then scaring the shit out of me. lol

So now you have it.

I had the same feeling on many of my China adventures. I love the country, but found 99 out of 100 social interactions were tedious. It gets very depressing to keep talking about how much your bike costs and why you want to ride a motorcycle instead of driving a car. Every once in a while, you come across a genuinely interesting person with good information to share.

Please please just if I could get paid just 1 RMB for everytime someone asked the same question, I would be a very rich man by now. Lol

For the first 200 times it was ok but now it's just like the sound of my wife nagging hehehe

It happens in many countries. Other standard questions include:
Is this bike yours? (I often respond No, it's my mom's one)
What is the maximum speed?
Are you not afraid of riding?
Where are your motorclub bikers?

Ok guys point taken.
This is the bottom line .
Have looked at producing a nice video , but waiting on a friend coming over from Sweden who's job is producing commercial video's.

1. was waiting to get some tips.
2.Need a good software. Lol

I am shit at these type of video producing ,so if he can show monkey do monkey .
Then I should be abel to put something together.

Then my guess that it would be ready sometime this fall...my small experience of non-professional cutting the clips by Sony Vegas shows that you need 1-3 days at least to make a 3-5 minutes' video from 5-6 hours of raw data from GoPro:) While you have tons of files from the entire trip I assume!

What's wrong with this video - http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjg3MD...~5!8~5!2~1~3~A ?

It's title says "Riding TR-G i West China", but I see left-hand traffic and I cannot determine are those inscriptions on Chinese or maybe on Thai. I'm puzzled. :confused1:

Sorry Zorge
You are spot on .
North Thailand riding my Honda CRF 250L a long the Thail/Burma border road.
Interesting road as you ride along at over 1500 M to your right it's Burma, with great senic views and at times the right hand side of the road is Burma?
Not shown in the video is along the road there are about 3 Army check points.
The area is used to transport drugs from Burma to Thailand.
The Thai Army many times have shoot out with the drug lords along this road.
So at times the roads is closed.
My mistake sorry.
