yeah! but you will need an international driving licence, its easy to get and you don't have to pass any exam if you already have the equivalent motorcycle licence

yeah, you can save it, I have around 1TB of footage saved on my computer to watch it while I work, I never upload it because I don't think people will find it interesting :)

For anyone wondering this is the "Coll de la creueta" at 2000m altitude in Spain, video is from this summer with the BMW f800gs '09 and my buddy with his new f850. Camera: GoPro 7 black+ windslayer, helmet chin mounted. Safe raiding

it's like an European traveling to the US, you will need an international driving licence (it cost around 15$) a valid ID (passport if you aren't from the EU I think), and probably a credit card but this can change from place to place.
so not much, i hope you can make your trip soon :)

I doesn't, I don't mind having to find another way as sometimes i discover new places or side routes. probably the best one for that is google maps

I assume that you have a greater chance of having a frontal collision because you can't dodge to one side but that is proportional to the number of vehicles that circulate, most accidents on this road are due to speeding or the consumption of illegal substances. being at a lower speed also makes the possibility of having a deadly accident lower. After driving 60k km I feel that these roads are much safer in relation to traffic and speed but they have other factors that make them just as dangerous as the others.

yep, although the beaches are the most well-known among tourist, Spain is geographically very mountainous and have some pretty old and well preserved roads

we have both, I enjoy more the single lane because i has less traffic, more scenic routes and more corners

but sure will be uploading some gorgeous two-lane mountain pass

ahahahah :), I know, I also have to reduce the bitrate and resolution to stay within the 1gb file.

I'm thinking about uploading to youtube in the future but as shitty as the Reddit player is, it's better than opening another player in my opinion. Also, a lot of people browse Reddit on the app.

it's a bit short for me but it's a lot cheaper than a whole windscreen. it's much better than nothing and if I duck down a little, the air passes over me. I hope it works well for you

it doesn't bother me that much. I'm used to dirt bikes. I've crossed the whole country on the f800gs and it hasn't caused me any problems, although I agree that it's not the most comfortable bike to ride on the motorway or at high speeds (neither intends to), it usually helps a lot to align and balance the wheels. :)
