The flag tool is provided by Flag Counter. I only initially listed a maximum of 30 countries to save on space and I’ve just checked to see if it dropped off the end of the list. With Family in the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland I agree with you. Unfortunately it is flag counter who feed the data back to my site in the form of flags.

I looked up flagcounter and they are based in Indiana and this is what they have to say on their contact page:

“Please do not contact us about factual information we have listed for a specific country. Our country information is sourced from the CIA’s public domain The World Factbook publication. We will only update our site with Factbook information and maps.”

Not very helpful but let us hope the CIA update their records soon.

Incidentally you have a great website and some great riding up on the North coast and Antrim! I was up there back in November and loved it.

I noted that your country list doesn’t included Northern Ireland (NI) we’re not part of Great Britain (GB) nor part of the Rep. of Ireland (IE).

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!!!.
I know that we have agreed to meet up for coffee and cakes (your treat don’t forget )) 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 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

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
