I'm not an internet guy ... but IIRC, "Torrents" is some sort of "back door" way to see internet content without paying. AKA: stealing.
I've never used it, no idea how it works.

I don't mind "borrowing" from big corporate interests ... but Haggis is just a guy trying to break in. Give him a break, toss a few quid into his bucket.
Film production is tough work. Doing it "on the road" even tougher.

But a short teaser/trailer would be good to help bring viewers in. Buying the whole package sight unseen may be asking too much? :confused1:

I have just watched 10mins of episode 1. It was enough for me to make up my mind on this rubbishly terrible awful idea of a DVD. How could you possibly charge £9.99 + P&P for that??????? Are you totally bonkers???
I hated it so much that I've just bought it online.


Seriously though, I don't know what the rest of it is like but I'm confident enough that it'll be fabulous. I like your style sir and I look forward to receiving it in the post. You are fulfilling a trip that I don't have the cahoonas to do myself. So I'm gonna sit right up close to the telly and pretend I am you. Or you are me. Whatever.....I think you know what I mean.


Well done sir, and if it's as good as I think it's gonna be then I'll buy your next one too. Well done that man!

"Cajones" amigo. EDIT for Spelling: Cojones ! (as in Nuts, Balls, Testicles) In Spanish there are dozens of words to denote the same thing. Every region of Latin America has their favorites.

Cahoonas

Cahoonas is the English derivative of ''cojones'' used in US and British slang to denote “boldness, manliness and courage” and popularised by iconic films such as Pulp Fiction and British male underwear brand Cahoonas.


"You'll need a huge pair of Cahoonas to go 3 rounds in the ring with that nutter!"

Steven, I ordered your DVD online a few days ago. I believe they come from Oz. What is the usual delivery time to UK?

Nice job!
I just realized I've already seen all your installments (when you had them posted up here for a short time) Things fly by so fast here ... I did not put you together with the Videos posted on your 1050 Tiger ride.

I was interested since I have a 1050 Tiger too. It's been no where compared to yours. I'm used to my DR650 off road ... riding my Tiger off road is (for me) a bit nerve racking. After a day I get better ... but she's a big girl to ride off road and I worry too much ...
Big Kudos to you ... you did Awesome!
All the best with the DVD's!

Yeah Tigger on west aussie ball bearing road, top heavy with loads of gear and fat tyres is rather scary. Went out last weekend on it and was pleased to see tarmac at the end of red gravel road. It is very top heavy so need to be more careful thatn other bikes off road.

Yeah the DVD has remastered episodes 1-3 and the last one Episode 6 (the best one) was never put out online

I've put episodes 1 and 2 online to hopefully attract sales of the DVD.

Looks like the next one will be Tiger 800XC at this stage. That 21" front gives me a load of confidence.

I've ridden the XC but not off road. I really liked it, very nice handling ... but did miss the power of the 1050! Still, if I had to chose, it's be the 800XC.

For travel, the 800XC is a great choice. I'd own one if I could afford it. It's good to hear of many doing some pretty tough rides on them! Seem to hold up well.

Great to hear you're planning another ride ... Where to?

My DVD arrived today. Pretty impressive stuff seeing as it came from Ozland. I hope the content will be equally impressive. I shall give a verdict after I've watched it.
