My name is Jonathan. I am the man behind everywherevirtually. I actually came up with the name back in the summer of 2000 for a marketing campaign for a digital TV company I worked for. Ultimately the catch phrase was not used. I was always fascinated with the idea of the web and internet being everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. I thought it is virtually everywhere. I thought some more and thought the web is everywhere… in a virtual sense and thus the phrase was coined. There it sat collecting dust for 8 years.
Then in the summer of 2007 I was travelling through Italy as a passenger in a car. I had arrived from a rainy England and was enthused to see lots of people on bikes and scooters in October. That was it for me. That was the spark. By November I had a helmet. by December the CBT was booked for January. I had bought a blue Honda Varadero 125 to practice on and I loved every minute of it. You don’t need a big adventure bike to have fun. Any bike will do! certainly I had some great trips on the 125 even if I did get blown around a bit and could only just manage 60mph.
By May 2008 I had passed the full test and in the June I had the F800 GS. While the bike is still on finance and the recession is biting hard I am determined to hang onto it because it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a vehicle to take you to your adventurous dreams.

and of course my burgeoning foray into Video. I used to do YouTube but it’s gone all corporate and restricted now that the bean counters have taken over so now my video vehicle of choice is the rather luscious Vimeo!

The spoiler is made by a company called MRA. It is screwed into the TT windshield but does not come with the TT windshield. Hope this helps Carlos. Best regards, Jonathan

Hi, how are you?
I came across your website and wondered whether you’d help me.
I’ve just put together my own website at http://www.downjacket.org.uk and I’m trying to spread the word about it.
It you have the time could you let me know what you think, and if you like maybe you could link to me.
Thank you!
Lucy

Hi
I just stumbled on to your site and am having a great time watching the videos and reading ride reports laying on the couch recovering from gall bladder surgery.
Since I’m a gear head could you maybe include what type of video cameras are used for the videos?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
I hope the surgery recovery goes well and is swift. I need to do so much more to the website and include many more ride reports. I’ve done 30,000 miles of riding in the last year and a half. For the filming I use a Canon HF100 camera. Sometimes with a Nikura 0.5x wide angle lens. For editing I now use Final Cut Express on a Mac. I used to use iMovie but nothing beats the quality of FCE or FCP.
Cheers
Jonathan

Hi Jon.
Been browsing the web and stumbled upon your web site by chance. I was always impressed with your trips, when I first saw you of FB via Andre’s site, but now having just read your above bio am even more amazed by your exploits and learning cycle, givn you have only been riding a short time. Well done!!!.
)) when you next over this way, but if you’d like some UK IAM road riding input, I’ll trade that for your off road words of wisdom. Take care and glad you enjoyed the April UK version of Visor Down and the F 800/650 GS item. Tschüs!
I know that we have agreed to meet up for coffee and cakes (your treat don’t forget
