Poole Harbour Chain Ferry crossing - BMW R1250 GS Adventure

Описание: Released this video in the dark days of January in the UK 😂 hoping to drag the sun out sooner than later.

Recoded in the previous summer, I took a ride down to Poole, Dorset (UK) to take the Chain Ferry across from Sandbanks to Shell Bay. This is one of my favourite coast lines for a beach day out.

I took my BMW R1250 GS Adventure and rode 2 hours there and 2 hours back. The weather was great but paid £17 for a medium pizza 🤯

I have broken the 100 subscribers 🤟 it is heart warming to know people like the videos. I'm not doing this to be rich or famous (lol), not at all. It's a hobby and gives me a purpose to get out riding the bikes.

BTW - Ambrosia (my BMW R1200c) is still in bits 🛠️ - changing the fuel pump on her - Video to come.

Hope you enjoy this video and support me by subscribing, liking etc. only if you like 😎
