- Join me on what I can only describe as the best ride of my life-a breathtaking motorcycle tour through the stunning island of Madeira! Guided by Steve from Madeira Island Motorcycle Tours, I took on the island’s incredible mountain roads and coastal routes, riding the agile Honda NC750X.
From winding mountain passes to lush valleys and jaw-dropping ocean views, this one-day adventure captured the essence of why Madeira is a dream destination for motorcycle enthusiasts.
If you’re passionate about riding or just love epic travel adventures, this video will show you why Madeira has some of the best mountain roads in the world.

After a 10-year break from motorbikes following a serious accident involving my wife, I’ve recently returned to two wheels and want to document the journey. As a professional drummer, I’ve always needed a creative outlet beyond music, and I’ve always had a passion for video editing.
Combining my love for bikes and video creation, this channel is where it all comes together.
You can expect cinematic rides, POV footage, travel and adventures, plus learning, fixing and upgrading motorcycles. I’ll also share dash cam clips of the crazy encounters we face on the road and detailed trips to far-off places.
Join me as I rediscover motorcycling and share my experiences.
I’d love to hear about your adventures too and let’s ride together! Connect with me on Instagram - @rt_pov_
Hope you all enjoy this video!

A smashing video. Really enjoyed watching your days journey and the drone footage was particularly excellent.
Thankyou so much! Glad you enjoyed it! It was a labour of love this one! 🥵
Love this maaaaan!!😍
Thanks mate!! 😁
Beautiful video, I had to put it on the TV and watch with a glass of wine! You’ve inspired me to get out on the bike!
Haha! That's amazing man! Yes this one's defo better on a bigger screen! We need to go out for that ride soon! It's been soo cold these days. I'm gonna go to work on mine tomorrow tho! 😜
@@RTPOV yes we do, I’m taking mine to Demon Tweeks on Saturday for a new front tyre. Then I’ll be using it more often! 2025 will be a great year on two wheels
You riding there?
@ yes, I’ll be there before lunch time but then have to be back for the kids.
Spectacular video, there was much more to show, Madeira is one of the best places for motorcycle tours, you chose the best guide Steve Ballington. 💪😎💪🏍
Ah thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes so much more as you say! Vocè è de Madeira? It's such a beautiful place! I will defo be back! And yes Steve is a great guy and guide! 👊🏼
@RTPOV Yes I'm from Madeira, i'm friend Steve.
Ah muito prazer! Maybe we can meet next time I come! 🙏🏼
@RTPOV ok
Amazing to see, so odd my Dad was on one of those ships I the harbour for NYE and my in-laws at the concert in Funchal itself as you panned around the fireworks!! I'll be sharing and looking this up for when we return; those roads are narrow and remember the hire company calling my Focus a 'big' car when I picked it up!!!
Thankyou! And that's funny how your family was there! I wondered how it would have looked from the boats!. Really mind blowing fireworks! Never seen anything like it! The car things funny, we had a small/medium sized Hyundai and itv perfect as had good power but small enough for the tight roads. Such an underrated place!
Really enjoyed that, I hadn't thought about Madeira. It looks stunning and maybe enough roads for a week's bike hire? Am touring Sardinia in April, can't wait! Drone footage always enhances the presentation of a tour, that's a great investment. Looking forward to Brazilian adventures.
Thanks man. I had a bit of a nightmare with a exposure settings as both cameras were on a fixed exposure, and the conditions kept on changing so it it was either over or uner exposed. Took me ages in post to try and fix it. Yes Madeira is amazing. Its pretty big. a weeks hire would be perfect! Let me know when you think about going coz I'd love to go back!
@RTPOV has to be for a spot of winter sun ... January 2026? My 2025 is pretty booked up with Sardinia, Norway then TBD in September.
@@RedDragonUncaged Sounds like a great year you have planned! Yes jan 2025 could be an option!
@@RTPOVkeep in touch. What's on your schedule for 2025? I meant January 2026 of course ... bald head moment!! 😅
@@RedDragonUncaged Haha I missed that also! yea 2026!😂
This yea, Im off to Brazil Next month, Scotland In Spring, Looking at Europe in the Summer, and hopefully Crete in August. Other than that Im gonna do plenty UK days outs etc
Another excellent video. I really enjoy your editing, cinematics, tasteful use of music and voiceovers. I'm sure your subscriber numbers will pick up as your uploads are of a very high quality. Of course, I am biased as the subject matter is a lifelong passion for me too. Thanks for taking the time to make this content.
By-the-way, as a failed guitarist my other passion is music. So, any content on that topic would be fine by me too...
Thankyou so much for taking time to say that! This one took a while! 🥵 so it really means a lot that it was appreciated! As for the music stuff, this channels an escape from that for me.🙈..I am meaning to start a separate channel on it one day but it's hard finding time to do everything! Thanks again ! What bike u riding and where are u based?
@@RTPOV You're welcome. I appreciate the effort put in. It shows! We have exchanged comments before. I'm the guy with the Ninja 1000sx and Suzuki GSX1250FA up in Aberdeenshire. Not far from your old stomping ground I believe. Music is a hobby for me so... no worries. Ride safe, keep posting 👊
Ah of course! Sorry I'm terrible with names sometimes and there's no profile pic to go by. Sometimes I read the comments without checking the name. I think there's a way to add people as approved users and it puts a little highlight next to the name for me. Can't wait to get up to the homeland later this year! 💯
Do you create/edit videos yourself?
@@RTPOV No need to apologise. You get lots of people commenting. Technology and me are barely on speaking terms these days. Couldn't even figure out how to not have my real name on the account, nevermind have a picture or use a camera and make videos 🧐🤣
🤣🤣
Hi there just found your channel, enjoyed the ride along, great roads you're on & not much traffic, giving you time to catch those amazing views, What a ride! Nice drone footage also, I can see how much editing went into this, im still learning on that side, I want to get a drone for my channel, only started last year but getting into it, Cheers, sent you a sub, & ride safe mate
Hi! Thanks for stopping by, and I'm happy you enjoyed it! Yes Madeira is an awesome place to ride! The edit took ages so thanks for noticing! ☺️. What software are you using? Drone is an awesome addition. I've always wanted one. It's only an entry level one (DJI Neo) and I need to learn how to do it properly. It's another thing to remember, and managed though, charge batteries , formatt and transfer SD cards etc, 🥵
Il check your Chanel out.! Best of luck!
@RTPOV Hahaha yeah the struggle with tech is real, I didn't realise that getting back into riding after a 20 year break , that I'd need to be a computer expert also, I'm using Filmora 14 for editing & am getting better at it, I'm a complete noob at it , it's challenging but fun & I'm learning by doing, So please don't expect to much, especially from my first posts, but ever onwards, thanks for the reply buddy & I look forward to sharing some posts, Cheers
I keep coming back to this video for various reasons, just thought you'd want to know that, because I would if I'd made a post that resonated with someone, ow ive enjoyed the ride along ,I am watching the editing, Its inspiring mate
@@SwenglishSteve650 hey man! Wow that's amazing! Really happy to hear that!. I've just landed in Brazil and can't wait to get hold of a bike. A little more complicated and of course dangerous here but il find a way! Looking forward to seeing your content also! 👊🏼
@RTPOV Nice, & honestly I cringe at the idea of you looking at my stuff, it's like an ape smashed it's palms into the keyboard compared to this, haha 😄
