After the 1999 Europe motorcycle tour went so well, I decided to do it all over again.  Dave and Paige had a newborn baby, so they couldn't come on this one, and they were missed.  But my buddy Brian Beach joined me, and we had a nice reunion with Leslie and Richard, who we met on the last trip.

Click on the image below to see some video footage of our trip.  The order of motorcycles in all moving scenes is: Brian Wilson, Leslie Cleverly, Brian Beach, Richard Cleverly.  The order of the still motorcycles at the end is slightly different.

How was the video created?  Brandon Nott (brannott@yahoo.com) was along on the motorcycle tour to shoot a promotional video for Rob Beach (the owner of the tour company).  Click here to see Brandon's website.  He had a bunch of good gear, including a Sony DV video camera and the "FinalCut" video editing software for his Apple Laptop.  He produced this video for our small group of myself, Leslie Cleverly, Brian Beach, and Richard Cleverly.  Here is a picture of Brandon editing the above video at our last dinner together (click on the picture for a big version):
