Mike, having ridden all over Europe for 45 years I had to stop due to an injury. After 2 years without a bike at 65 years old I saw your bike photo videos and having recovered enough I decided to buy another bike. I I own a Fuji Xt4 and enjoy taking photos so a bike and camera work really well for me. Thanks. I am riding again for several reasons including your videos.

Mike, another great video and I am always appreciative of your positive approach. I am in love with the bike idea, and have gone through an evolution of sorts along those lines myself. Been riding forever, but during all this pandemic and some of the personal losses that resulted from that, I decided to take more opportunities to embrace life in general. I garaged my shiny Harley show bike (that I rarely ride) and picked up a cheap used Kawasaki Versys as a way to get out, rain or shine, on any road. Even built some specialty rigs for carrying camera gear. I called it "Photomoto", and I love that thing! Combining motorcycling with photography has been one of the best things I've ever done. Thanks again for all you do. Cheers!

I was very fortunate to be able to stay with my Uncle and Auntie who lived in Switzerland, back in 1997, but I was in the French speaking bit! Beautiful country, albeit very expensive! By the way Mike, I loved the way you were throwing that bike round the corners! Almost 'red lining' it at one point! 😁

The last shot of the bike was nicely done but I wondered if you would Photoshop out the road sign? I liked the speeded up bike ride as well. I was leaning into the bends and enjoying the view. The price of your AirBnB surprised me as I expected Switzerland to be expensive. Thank you for the ride.
