1200km & 4 Countries in 2 Days on a Honda Dominator 650

- This is it! My 33 years old Honda and I are on the homestretch of our biggest Motorcycle Adventure yet. Berlin to Nordkapp (North Cape) and back. Crossing many borders to many different Countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and back to Germany. It has been quite a ride. Almost 10.000km on and off road through rain, snow and sun. Flat tire, tow truck and a couple of repair shops as well as many lovely people I met on the road, helping out or just chatting. It has been a great experience and sharing this great journey in real time here on TH-cam has made it even better. Thanks everybody for watching and accompanying me. Now back to work, pay of the huge credit card bill and back to traveling in no time! I promise I will also sort out the rattle noise;)
Thanks everybody!

Editing Software:
Luma Fusion 2.0
Just recently stumbled across this great editing app for the iphone and i am super impressed and loive working with it. This is gonna be my favorite workstation and super practical for on the road editing.Love it!
apps.apple.com/us/app/lumafus...
Final Cut Pro X
For this Video and for all the videos i do at home, not being out with the bike i use Final Cut since for me it was the easiest to use program with a very intuitive Interface and cool colorgrading options.
KineMaster on Iphone
Here's the link to the IOS App:
apps.apple.com/us/app/kinemas...
Using the Iphone allows me to cut all my videos and clips on the road without carrying the laptop which makes everything so much easier and it's fun with the app;)
More about that and how i do stuff i will probably explain in future videos.

What a ride! Thanks for coming along! Where do you think I’m going next? Stay tuned!🤙🏼
Africa.
I will be there.
Morocco
Ireland
Ireland, Britain and Scotland would be interesting.
Czech Republic?
Italy?
I just can't believe how there can be haters to a travel vlog like this. What's wrong with people?
I really love to watch you travel and inpire people to do the same. So people go for a trip, long or short, with bike or car. It doesnt matter as long as they enjoy life.
Keep up the good work and let us be a part of your traveling.
I really hope you get a great hug when coming home. And a good meal and a nice comfy bed. All my best wishes.
Exactly what Jörgen said, I am not sure what to hate about Marc his awesome motorcycle journeys
Envious trolls are everywhere 🙄
well, some people doesn't ready with the internet mentally.. lol
There are two types. The miserable people who try to bring others to their level. And the ones who cry for attention like a toddler.
Just love your channel Marc. If you have to turn off comments - turn them off.
It won't detract from the real viewers, the simplicity and actual beauty of what you do.
Really admire you for what you do.
Keep on Riding and, above all, stay safe.
Marc, happy birthday! I hope you have a great day!
As someone who also likes to ride long distances on my motorcycle, many people don’t understand what it’s like. You do what you do for yourself. As long as you are enjoying yourself, that’s all that matters.
Thanks for your videos, they are very inspirational. I ride in North America and it’s really interesting to watch your rides through Europe. One day I hope to ride through Europe as well.
Thanks for all the great videos!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!
Marc, looking at the comments here, I see appreciation, encouragement, and gratitude.
Trolls are the sad part of humanity, that live in our digital world. They will always be here, but do what most of us do….ignore them.
Remember, trolls like no one and no one likes trolls.
I believe I can speak for most here when I say, that all the efforts, to include us in your travels, is very much appreciated.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!
I like you talking about your motorcycle. I understand you. Its your transport in another country and its in your head all the time. The noise!
Just keep on riding, Marc! Pay no attention to them. It only means they have issues, not you. We on the other hand just enjoy watching your journeys. Keep safe! Love your bike by the way.
So proud of you Marc! You have accomplished something people could only dream of, and kindly chosen to share it with the world along the way. You have inspired me and many others to pursue our dream, whether it is to start riding a motorcycle or going on an adventure to some place most of us haven't heard of. So I just wanted to say thank you. Enjoy your well deserved break and last but not least, happy birthday! :)
You are simly the best!! Sold my motorcykle 4 years ago 62 now looking for a new because of you THANKS!
Hi Marc this journey was amazing thanks my friend cheers from Canada, Eddy 🇨🇦🍷
Don't worry about negative comments Marc. Your a young guy having fun and the is nothing wrong with that. Live your life to the best you can fella.
As an old co-worker used to say “don’t let the b*st*rds get you down”. Words to live by. I love your content and you were part of my inspiration to ride 13000 kms round trip this summer on my F850GS at age 63. It wasn’t a total success as I wrote off my bike in Canada’s arctic, but it’s a trip I’ll never forget. Thanks and stay safe.
War eine tolle Reise und die guten Menschen hier auf deinem Kanal hatten viel Spass danke.Bleib wie du bist und hab Spass am Reisen....
It has been a pleasure following you, many thanks from holland
Fabulous trip. Don't let them get to you. They are not worth your time or the space in your head. Stay positive and enjoy your life & travels. Hope the bike stays well. I regret selling mine when I moved to Spain in '89. Back now in UK & bikeless 🙁
Mint! Love your videos. The big Lebowski, what a cool film👍
Awesome vlog! Awesome bike! I had the same kind of noise on all my Hondas. From 1978 - 1989, CB125, CB250 Dream, CB 250 Superdream, CX 500E. Chain tensioner either well worn and/or collecting lots of thick, sticky gunge which prevented it moving with the timing chain - which also could get a tight spot. All those bikes did over 50,00k before I sold them. Shame I never owned a Dominator. Thanks for sharing! :-)
I ride a new Africa Twin, I ride the "route des grandes alpes" this year… Next year a crossing of the Pyrenees and then …. Iceland and North Cape! You inspire me man … let’s do this !
Try not to take comments personally, criticism is one way to better one, without it, ego might creep in and one would be deceived into feeling invincible: fatal to self and personality. keep up the good work man, you inspire millions and me, and you provoke some :) joining you , ,hopefully December, on a trip in Africa, Egypt to South Africa for starters. You rock buddy
Happy Birthday, i really like the dominator, i have had an xl650 and xr400 great bikes. I’m 67 and enjoy your videos.
Marc, not sure what I can say about the people who are jealous of you and that you've got a great life and people that care about you. It's easy for me or others out here to just say to ignore them, but I'm sure it's not that easy. From a selfish standpoint, I'd like it if you kept the comments, but you do what's right for you. In the end, you're all that matters, we're just along for the ride. Cheers, and have a great time with Maree and looking forward to your next adventure.
The time you upload the videos it’s really amazing I can click so quick , and happy birthday to you
Relaxing and inspiring...thanks, mate...🙂👍...in a few days I'll be on my way, also...😎
Happy birthday 🎉 Enjoy your well deserved rest, and see you on the next travel
Aw man,that rattle is getting you down! U have to sort it! Picking up my ‘94 Dommie in couple days,can’t wait. Hope it won’t rattle like yours. Love your videos,stay safe….🤘
Travel videos feturing bikes are about my favourite.
My wife and I really enjoy your videos. We are watching them almost daily, and catching up on earlier videos we missed in the past. You should be proud of your travels. I wish had the ability to do the same, I was a long distant rider when I was younger, I'm now 69. But I can still ride with your in your videos. Your videos give me incentive to get out and ride on my 2014 Tiger 800. Ride safe, my friend.
Happy to hear you guys enjoy the videos so much 🤗
Hey , I am 65 and will always watch your channel !
and remember what Taylor Swift sang : Haters will hate ! ignore them please.
Welcome back home and please make more videos.
Excellent video with Rascal motorcycles last time round,Veil Spaß✌
My first Bike was an Honda Dominator from 1996. I‘ve sold it to buy a Yamaha FZR1000. Now i know it was a failure when i see your trips on your channel. But i don‘t have your big balls to do this and i‘ve so many respect of you or Itchy Boots!!! Thank You for all the Videos!!!
You "The Man". Keep it up. Ride safe.
Thanks for the videos, it was nice to follow your journey!
The people who send negative comments will probably never have the chance to do what you're doing. They are therefore jealous.
Do your thing, share your adventure, knowing many who follow are enjoying it.
Hallo Marc,
vielen herzlichen Dank für´s Mitnehmen auf diese tolle Reise an das Nordkap.
Ich mag deine herzliche und authentische Art.
Freue mich schon auf Deine nächste Reise.
Und was die Hater betrifft: Einfach ignorieren und an den vielen positiven Kommentaren erfreuen.
Die Welt ist voller Spinner, Dummschwätzer, Neider, Schwachköpfe etc.
Da bleibt es nicht aus, dass da auch ein paar auf deinem Kanal landen.
Am besten straft man diese damit sie zu ignorieren.
Have a nice time und noch alles Gute zum Geburtstag.
Frank
Thanks for taking us with you on that journey. It was pleasure to watch. Do not think about trolls, that is all they want. Cheers
That was a great adventure! 🙂👏
Happy birthday🎂
good ride, stay free, and do what you like
Wow, almost 10k that's crazy. Huge accomplishment, I can only wish of that 😂
Thanks! Looking forward to the next adventure.
Leave the haters Marc. They don’t deserve the attention. Just do your thing. 👍🏻
You need to go on the next trip super fast 😉 we can't stay without your vlogs. They are great 😊 Ignore the haters, be yourself like you always are on the videos. Some people cannot see others succeed or enjoy life. You will find these people everywhere as you must well know. You've got a great unique bike and you have the opportunity to enjoy travelling and sharing ....plus people love you. The percentage is high . We started following you when you had few subscriptions and you have evolved.. simple...that's your answer...☺️💪
Danke für's Mitnehmen - war eine tolle Reise - und ich bin gespannt wohin die nächste Reise geht (aber jetzt ist wohl erst mal wieder etwas Arbeiten angesagt).
Ja das stimmt. Freu mich auch drauf💪🏼 ich arbeite super gern
Another good one Marc, personally I think your channel is excellent and really entertaining, hope you had a great birthday
maybe that sounds clicking a tensioner keep safe more travel your gifted
Thanks!
Happy Birthday to you, thanks for sharing the vidéos and looking forward to your next adventure (hopefully without the rattling noise 😉
Greetings from Lithuania ✌🇱🇹
Hope the negative comments don’t get you too down but I get it, even without comments the video content is still nice to watch. I’m from the USA so it’s nice that we get to see so many places in your videos as you bring us along on your adventures
Hi Marc, I have enjoyed watching this trip enormously, thanks again stay safe. I look forward to your next adventure
Schön, das du wieder gesund und munter zu Hause angekommen bist!!!! See you !!!✌🏻
Welcome home, sir!
Got to love old bikes and you've proved that with a little help from our friends, anything is possible, and I'm sure you'll get the rattle sorted out soon enough :)
Wishing you a very happy birthday when the day comes.
With love and respect from the UK \m/
pls do not stop being you mate, thats why i watch you and motor on........
Marc ,you are an inspiration to us all , well done buddy ,looking forward to your next adventure, HAPPY BIRTHDAY 👍👍
Not Bad, not Bad. 👍👍👍
You are cool and nice. Great advise about the comment section!
Amazing adventure Marc. Well documented, well said and inspired. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you.
Come to Ireland, Marc you would love it , tanx for the great videos
Hi Marc, I don’t even remember how I came across your channel but started watching about 4/5 videos a night from your Portugal trip (I’m Portuguese 😂) and slowly catching up to your newer videos. Have really enjoyed going along these trips with you and seeing the amazing places you’ve travelled to, keep up with the safe travels. Also, don’t worry if you have to turn off comments, for all the great people here, there are also a lot of people that have nothing better going on in their lives that they have to try to bring other people down to their level too… Anyway, safe travels!!
Fantastico!!! Ti ho seguito dall' Italia, ti aspettiamo anche qui in Italia!! Let's do this!!
hallo guten morgen marc 👋 ich hoffe es geht dir gut und mach weiter mit deinen videos und reisegrüßen
Danke. Bald kann ich wieder los fahren 🤙🏼
Germany
Thanx! I enjoyed your episodes/journey very much. Have a nice time at home and see you in further episodes where ever you go 😃🙏👍👍🍀🍀
Merci pour tes superbes vidéos,on voyage avec toi, hâte de suivre les prochaines
It's your life and yours only, so live it the way you want. Although you are a millennial and I'm just an old and gray biker on a totally different type of bike, I love your channel so please keep making this awsome video's .... and if we ever meet somewhere down the road I would love to buy you a coffee and have a chat. Take care and keep the rubber down.
Congratulations Marc!
Another great trip on your saddle 👍🏻
Don't even read all the comments, specially the hatter's.
There's many of us who understands your ways and love to see your videos.
Keep it up and... Let's do this! 💪
I feel sorry for you about the negative comments.
I work exactly the same: 1) Negative input stays longer and 2) if my bike makes a noise I obsess about it until I fix it.
1) makes you human. 2) makes you the kind of biker who has the persistence to weed out the flaws of an old bike and that is the best kind of biker.
you king :) welcome home and good luck
We all are bikers or adventurers. We all are “brothers”. Forget about of the haters!!!!
Comments or no comments I love watching your videos. Don't change, just keep on keeping on ☺️👍
Honda always bring you back home! 🤘🏼💪🍻😁
Keep going, great motorbike, great videos ,I have the same one and same color !
Thanks for the vids! I think i watched them all.
Have an awesome birthday.🍺. Love the channel .
So sorry for all the hating and bad comments. Really don't get how anyone can think that it's ok to spew hate out, Jesus Christ, you're doing it all for free and with a positive mind ❤️ I love your videos (also the length of 'em 😎), and I enjoyed this trip to Nordkap a lot, so thanks 🙏.
If you ever pass by Helsingør, to catch a boat to Helsingborg ( Sweden) you'll always have a meal and a bed to sleep in.
Skål 🤘
My wife and I enjoy watching your travels.
Never mind the naysayers.
You are developing an attitude! Love it. Thanks for all you do.
Hey Marc, great video as always. I just got my '98 NX650 back (after a year) from the mechanic and despite much work done it came out with the dreaded clicking, permanently, which it didn't have when it went in. It really, really sucks, but I've basically been told that the engine is old and hammered, and that while the noise is annoying, it's not causing any harm. I can't afford to throw any more money at the problem, and the bike had a pretty rough life before I got her, but It's still an awesome bike and if I wear earplugs I can't hear the clicks, so I guess that's my solution! I sincerely hope you find a better one, your bike is in much better shape than mine - long live the Dom, there's nothing else quite like it.
Mark, if you come to Brazil Someday, it will be a honor to know you. Very inspiring videos and adventures. Hope you come someday. Keep riding.
Hallo Marc, deine Videos der letzten paar Wochen und Monate waren super und machen richtig Lust auf ein Abenteuer. Mach bitte weiter so.
Ich liebe Berlin, ich war zwei Jahre dort.Charlottenstraße in Berlin Mitte
Mach dir keine Sorgen über schlechte Nachrichten, normalerweise sind es Menschen, die wie du sein wollen, aber nicht den Mut haben.
Thank you for taking us along with you Marc, I have enjoyed every post you have put up. Looking forward to your next journey, from "Down under" in Australia.
Mark! You have visited my country- Poland. Hope U met some nice people. I'm big fan of yours. Take care!
I'm here just to leave some positivity.
Cheers from Poland.
Happy birthday Marc! Good that ride went smoothly, and that you are home now. Till the next adventure.
This is my favourite moto channel. I just wanted to say: "You're the dude!"
My 1998 st650 bmw . Is a great bike .but at approximately 140 klm per tank . , thinking a couple extra cans . , it has twin bst 35mm carbs .
Love your trips. , happy Birthday. Safe rides
Hi Marc I’m a day one viewer! And gave as a positive feed back that a change of music would be refreshing, and I noticed you did!! You are a beautiful person. Don’t turn of the comments !! But ignore the annoying ones and get your energy out the positive comments, jealousy is a nasty thing. People find it heard to see someone is doing what they dream of. I admire it and am thankful for you videos and your replies on my comments. Keep up the great work. Ps I think uk is the next! And if you pass Netherlands I hope you will enjoy!
Thanks again for bringing us along for this adventure. Glad the Honda brought you home safe and sound (never had a doubt 😉). Hope you had/have a very happy birthday. Cheers and ride safe. 👊
I must apologise for some of my comments. Glad you made it back home safely. 👍
Great adventure Marc. People are never satisfied. Ignore the bad reviews and focus on the comments that matter. It's your channel, do things your way. I like your channel and I appreciate your effort and your hard work to bring us new adventures. I look forward to the next adventure... Maybe another continent? South America would be awesome😬😅 ride safe Marc👍🏻✌🏻Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
You did great by riding the long journey home bro
Hi Marc, it was nice to follow your travels to the Nordkapp. Thanks for sharing. I like old Honda's too, I recently bought myself a '88 Honda Transalp and I plan to make a long trip on it next year. Wish you all the best, ride safe. Grüßen aus die Niederlände
I really enjoy following you on your life journey. Do what you feel is best for you. Keep things simple. Happy birthday and safe travels ✌️
Also enjoyed your videos, and the camera work is really great.
So amazing to see how many great people you run into.
Keep up the good work, and have a great birthday!!
A great Ride man💪.
See you next time.
Cool Marc....great journey...great riding
Marc, this community is like the society itself; there are all kind of people, but to enjoy the awesome people you have to "cope" with the not-so-good-ones. But the good news is that it worth it
Looking forward your new adventure, #letsdothis
Übrigens alles Gute zum Geburtstag. (thanks Google translate 😂)
You just rode trough very beautiful part of Poland called Warmia i Mazury or 'land of 1000 lakes' (that part between the border with Latvia and Elbląg city) if you ever have more time you can spend nice time riding there :) Also please try to focus more on positive comments because those overwhelmingly outweigh negative ones :D Btw its a great adventure and I really do similar rout from Poland to Nordkapp :) Its always nice watching you! Cheers!
Hi Marc, I absolutely love your videos, the way you frame your scenic shots and I am thankful you have let us into your life as your travel around on your Honda. You have inspired me to do the same. I am planning a trip around Europe by motorbike. Currently I am saving up money so that I can do it but I am very much inspired by you and I can't wait. Thank you again for these videos and for your amazing channel!
Drive safe my friend. I watch every episode and am so greatfull for you letting us be part of your adventure. Look forward to the next chapter my friend. Hugs from me and the Tornado in Sweden.
Marc, you're the best! I really like your personality, your honesty. Don't let other parts of the world get you down with their bad or poor comments. I will always enjoy your travels no matter what happens. Happy birthday and be sure to tell Maree I said hello 😎👍!
