BARFistan 2015 - My very very late video...

Raider

yeap...
So I was part of one of the groups that went to Pakistan literally a year ago this weekend... sadly all the footage I shot was un-editable on my computer when I got back. A 2011 iMac won't handle 4K footage... I tried... and failed. So over the past month or so, things have changed and I have a new computer and thanks to Adobe's update to Premiere, a new workflow that makes working with 4K footage tons easier...

That said... here is the video...

And these are the bikes we road - Honda CG 125 Dream

And in case you haven't seen the photos in other photo related threads, here is it... includes stops to Dubai and Abu Dhabi before heading to Pakistan.

And just for shits and giggles, I knew we were close to where they found Bin Laden, so I pulled my GPS data into Google maps... and well... we were about a mile away. Bottom left pin is where we stopped for gas.:ride

And for the techy/gear heads
- Photos and Video: Sony RX10 II (rental) - photos in RAW, video in SLOG2
- GoPro Hero 4 Black (mine), Hero 3 Black (mine - but let someone else borrow), Hero 4 Silver (someone else's - they gave me their footage at the end of the trip)

Awesome video, looks like you put a lot of work into that edit.
Was there a ride report posted anywhere?
What was the bigger bike?

Ride Report, not really... just a couple older threads

Bikes: The "BARFistan" group all rode the Honda CG 125's, but we did meet fellow bikers on the road which you saw on the video, they would ride with us for a few days before splitting off on their own trip.

Most memorable bikes we had were the Africa Twin, and 2x GS1200 Adventures... the one weaving through traffic is owned by a Spaniard that's doing a global ride, and the one you see being loaded on to the boat is a husband/wife going from England back to Australia...

Awesome vid! It still amazes me at how many strikingly beautiful places there are on this Earth that 99% of people will never see. Good job being in that 1% of people who will.

Thank you so much!

Elmer,

I finally found this thread!! Saw your video on YouTube a couple years ago, I was so impressed with the content that I immediately put BARFistan on my bucket list. However I wasn't able to go last year due to applying for the VISA too late, instead I went to Sardinia.

I had texted you on YouTube asking for permission using the soundtrack for your awesome movie but didn't get a response, I hope you don't mind that I laced my Sardinia trip video with the same beats:laughing...they do say that imitation is the best form of flattery don't they?

Anyways, I finally made it to Pakistan two months ago!!!
I hope you will humor my Ride Report and video here:

Thanks again Elmer, this trip definitely "changed" my life :thumbup:thumbup
Oh and your picture gallery from this trip was gorgeous, I kinda wish I was there too to take in some pointers:rofl
