With the Zero I can actually enjoy the surroundings (if I do not run 150 km/h on the highway).
With the Energica I cannot. Either I hear the whining of the bike or I plug my ears and hear close to nothing.

The noise (and the chain drive) are the main reasons why I did not even consider to buy an Energica. Even though I think they are otherwise superior in almost any aspect.

It isn't so bad IRL. I could clearly hear the mounting frame of my license plate vibrate. Enough to make me screw it down directly to the holder :)
On my Zero, I put a silicone plate frame to remove the rattling sound!

Man, I so wanna ride somewhere pretty... Oh, wait, I do ^-^

What an amazing place and trip for the two of you.

I was hoping there would have been a Zal Mart to pick up a battery and make more stops without worry.
But you'll be in the drama category come Oscars. 

Thanks for taking the time with all the editing it's coming out great.
Just imagine looking back on these videos when yall are in your nineties.  Even the bad bike will seem like so much fun.  :)

Dude, exactly!  I really love going back and watching these already.  It's been a few months since we did this trip and it's fun to relive it.  I forgot about a lot of this stuff.

The Triumph problems actually seem to make the series more interesting.  It's a fun road trip, but also an ongoing struggle to keep the bike alive, knowing it will die eventually, but not knowing how  ;D

And the Oscar for best interpretive dance during narration of a documentary, comedy, or thriller goes to:

Jen Baker. (who also preformed all her own stunts)

Great job guys, thanks for putting in all the editing and filming time to share your trip with the world.
