I'll be honest, I can't understand the problem people have with photos! Upload a photo to TM IMG. Copy BB embed code,. Paste into post.


Everything is easy if you know how to do it


And if you don't , it's usually fairly easy to learn.

Or you can ask a teacher for help smile smile (as shown by this thread where at least two people can now post videos with ease)

A trip to Launde Abbey with a handful of Morganites (& an ex-Morganite) today. First drive of 2020 for me! The car drove beautifully and we all enjoyed the beautiful Leicestershire back roads and our socially distanced picnic.

Yesterday, Saturday July the 4th, The Speedy Marmots made our third "short fighter mission" from home (Madrid) to Riaza - a nice village in Segovia province where we ate a nice suckling-lamb (typical from the region) - and back.

Despite the massive food intake, Ana Maria insisted to come back via isolated roads and mountain passes. I'm blessed with the best posible co-pilot ever! What a petrolhead she is! love

So, we made in total a 3h45min drive from Madrid to Riaza to cover 185km. Here a picture taken in Zarzuela de Garve, one of the atonishing "black villages" of this side of the Sierra. shocked2

and 4h30min back from Riaza to Madrid to cover 180km. Here a picture of Campillejo, another of the "black villages", also incredible and isolated. shocked2

I made the roadmap with some pictures aside the text with the indications, as we were driving roads we've never done before. We enjoyed the best day in the 3-Wheeler until now. THIS IS ADDICTIVE!!!

AMAZING! We are still in shock of the desert roads and mountain passes we discovered yesterday. You can't imagine the beauty we drove yesterday.

I Will post some videos so you see the isolated roads we drove!

If you like videos, here are the best moments of the Speedy Marmots' Saturday drive! drive

This first road, the GU211, was really beautiful, relatively fast, in excellent conditions and we crossed less than three cars. smile


This second road, the CM1006, was amazing. twisted and covered by tres and passing through some of the most beautiful "black villages" of the Sierra. Again, no cars but us.


Third short video, on the CM110 & SG145, just for the fun to see the windmills. shocked2


After lunch, as my fabulous co-pilot insisted, we took this incredible small twisted road on our way back: the SG112. Probably the most amazing road of the Sierra to drive a 3 Wheeler. Just a Little bit of anxiety, as there was no GSM signal… So praying the "Morgan Gods" to keep the little rocket free of any puncture or major break down… notworthy Check-out how the vegetation is starting to invade the tarmac!


Here we're entering one of the most beautiful "black villages" of the Sierra: Campillejo. For a short break in the Only bar and restaurant.


After the short break, the most challenging road of all: the GU194 and its incredibly steep downhill to the "Chinese Wall's Bridge". Another scary road because of its isolation. No GSM signal and no one around but a couple of bikers. pale


Finally getting to more "open" road: the GU187, just before the GoPro battery died…


I hope you like the videos. This time I did not added any music, just the roaring of the V-Twin as background.

You have an excellent navigator and tactician, beautiful scenery and quiet roads.

Have you considered hooking the GoPro up to the cigarette lighter for continuous power? I finally did it with my 360 camera and now no worries about battery life, Just figuring it how to do it is the hard part.

It would be a perfect solution… but the GoPro has a case that does not allow you to open any of its connections. In fact, to change the battery you need to open the case and take the camera out of it. It's a simple case, like a frame, but you can't get rid of it…

So you need the case to support the camera, but with the case you can't power it. frown2

Pity but I suppose it makes for waterproof camera without an external case.

My insta360one needs a waterproof case for rain conditions.

Yes the GoPro is waterproof. You can even dive with it to 33ft without a specific diving case.
