NOTE : -
I've had so many questions asking if I fixed the high speed power loss issue.
During the trip provided I kept my speed below 65mph the bike was fine, so I tried to use smaller road and therefore slower speeds.
I was also scared if I tried to fix the issue I would waste half a day on the roadside, and perhaps make the issue worse.
Basically I could live with a slow top speed, its my riding style.
I still haven’t fixed the high speed power loss issue,
2020 and the Covid pandemic restrictions meant the Old Zed had very little use, simply short local low speed Sunday afternoon trips.
When Covid restrictions are lifted I’ll fix the issue ☺

Refreshing to see an adventure that is not on an overpacked GS riding paved roads ;-)
Waiting for your Iceland adventure!

Really excellent video and I love your sense of humor.

Fantastic video !
I rode my 77 CB750 from Michigan to California on Route 66.
A few repairs were required, two new chains, new rear tire, an ignition coil, what a thrill !

Another great video proofing that you really don't need a top modern bike to enjoy a motorcycle adventure! What a fantastic journey must have been, thank you very much for sharing it!! 👍👍

What a wonderful trip, and story well put together

Great video! I enjoyed the vintage bike theme. I have two vintage bikes, a 1979 Suzuki GS850 that I restored 5 years ago and a 1984 Goldwing that I restored last year. I'm here in Ontario Canada in the snow and it's so nice to be able to travel vicariously with people in parts of the world that I will probably never ride in. Thanks T-J!

This is a great tonic sitting here in a Canadian winter during Covid days. Thank you

What a wonderful motorbike tour. I enjoyed watching your video in S.Korea.. I wish I could have a peaceful and leisurely motorbike trip like you. Thanks for the great video.

I watch a lot of motorcycle travel videos. This is the best one that I have seen in a long time. Good job.

a very beautiful journey by bike. One of the best I have watch so far. Very relaxing road trip yo northern europe and Scandinavia.

Once again, people like you remind so many that newer is not necesseraly improved, better or longer lasting. I ride a 1976 BMW R60/6 with a sidecar. 90, 000 miles with original clutch, motor with unleaded valves, transmission, and final drive assembly. Regular oil and filter changes and simple maintenance is all they need. Well done.
