Great minds think alike Ian.  I've been mining my previous trips as well in recent years, with a project last year where two of us redid a trip we originally did back in 1970 - my first long distance motorcycle trip. Back then we rode from London down to Tangiers two up on a 250 Yamaha two stroke. Last year, after nearly 4 yrs of build up (Covid delays mainly) and 52 yrs later we rode two identical 250 Yamaha two strokes (one each this time) along the same route to the same destination. It was certainly interesting to compare / contrast etc and I always intended that a book would come out of it looking at the nature of travel. Writing it has been a slow process though.
Pictures below are a couple from 1970, a couple from 2022, the project title page for the You Tube videos (1 out of 3 up there at the moment under the VJMC banner) and on from a magazine article I had published earlier this month about the trip.
Great video btw - enjoyed watching it
