Amazing scenery and great cinematography of your journey to Dahkla Ian! I admire your riding skills especially zipping through the towns and villages...high fiving 👋the children eagerly waiting to say Hello to the Nice Motorcycle 🏍 Rider from foreign lands!
If ever a 'vlogger' made me want to experience something it's you. The solitude and vastness of riding through the desert has a certain appeal about it.
Loving the series, as I’ve commented before balls of steel. My only observation is the riding roads wouldn’t be good for me.plenty of beautiful European roads that are more enjoyable as a motorcyclist.what you are doing is beyond my comfort zone. It’s made me want to just set off without a destination. I cant camp due to my age and physical limitations.
Hi Ian - another brilliant video, thank you for them all. It’s about to drop below freezing here in Glasgow and snow in the next few days so no need to rush back to Helensburgh. BZ Jack!
I just love your videos- and the music. Very relaxing to watch. There is no narcism about you, and your resourcefulness is inspiring. Every time you wish your you-tube ‘subscriber’ well it makes me giggle 🎉
577 miles in one day....very impressive indeed. After travelling in a complete sandy wilderness for so long and really enjoying your on-board footage, I was starting to resent seeing motorhomes and other forms of western civilisation as you headed up north! Looking at your map, it's hard to believe you're only a boat crossing over to the touristy Canary Islands! Anyway, enough of that civilisation stuff, best wishes for your safe onward travels. Take care.
Wow! Ian that's quite a long haul but you've captured the beauty and vastness of the desert 🏜 so well! I'm glad as i'm sure you are that you were able to get some good gas👍 As always...Happy Trails Ian!
580 miles is a good long ride in anyone’s book. It’s good you didn’t stay a third day as by my calculation you would’ve been up near 900 miles for the following days ride.😂.
Great video again Ian, good to hear you are feeling good and the bike is going good again, looking forward to the next episode of your adventures cheers mate for some sunshine in the middle of a Scottish winter 🥶
Thanks for all the videos you're posting. The video image is always stable! Any videos that I take on the bike have a lot of trembling! What camera are you using? "Saludos" from Spain.
Can't believe it, hard core, I'm heading to Cornwall from Ipswich and we are booked into a hotel half way, me and the Mrs look forward to yours vids, it's not quite as cold as Scotland down here, but I'm out Sunday filming my adventures, truly inspiring, stay safe buddy
Hmmm, hahahaha, when you‘re feeling that fine to stay in a good low budget hotel longer than necessary, I wonder if your inner person actually starts wishing to be home, instead of riding. A road-traveler can‘t stay on one place longer than required. ;-) Unless there‘s active program to be found or he‘s tired.
Very inspiring once again, so much so that I’ve just ordered a whole heap of camping equipment!! Many hours of watching other TH-cam motorcycle camping videos for guidance & recommendations, and it seems I’ve bought the same Trangia spirit burner & stove as you appear to have, so I think I’ve done ok…. Never camped before, so my initial trips to test everything out later in the year will be eye-opening! All the best, Paul
Right. After April - when the weather improves - start my making small trips. I night here and a night there, and then start building up your range and the nights you spend camping. Also, by making short trips, you soon work out what works and what doesnt and how packing your bike soon becomes a dedication.
@@onemanonebike8514 thank you, great advice. I have a pre-booked week away in b&bs & hotels early May (partially in my favourite country, Scotland!), then I’m thinking of a few days test-camping in the Peak District in late May. After a trip with my buddy to Poland (again, b&bs & hotels), I’ll have a week away camping, probably Scotland again… All this is building up to a journey I’m planning to Istanbul starting April or May 2025, mostly camping, for around 6 weeks.. 😬🫣. Thanks again, and enjoy the rest of your fantastic trip. Cheers, Paul
thanks for this footage, gives a perfect idea of how it is on a long trip. and also your choose for the music is very good and original . well done . in the netherlands it was freezing the last week , so no riding lately, therefor is your footage very welcome. safe trip up north
Hey…nice vid ! Can I ask what roll bag you are using there and how are you getting on with it ? I’m in the market for one myself at the moment….shortlist is a lomo Vizallo, or an Oxford Aqua t50 or t70!
No. Prolonged use can incur side effects. I'm old enough and not need any extra health concerns so decided to just take more care about exposing skin and making sure my tent was mozzie free.
Hi Ian that has to be the most boring journey in the world, I don’t see anything beautiful on sand, sand, and more sand. otherwise enjoying your videos.

The Vizallo. Its brilliant. Its robust, clips onto and off the bike quickly and easily, and you can also use two little couplers to connect the straps on the bike together so theyre not left dangling. Since I've had it its not let any dust or water into the bag. it really is a superior product and i am so glad i bought this.

very inspiring videos keeps us sane in our freezing weather - hour ride for a cuppa toady in 1 deg was enough for me - cheers cant beat Tea

In great Pantomime tradition 'their behind you!' 22:35 Great content as always thanks for posting and ride safe.
Glad you enjoyed it
When you were describing the wookie camel noise and saying you hadn't seen any there was one right behind you 😊.
Ohhhhh, no there wasnt....
Hi Ian - another brilliant video, thank you for them all. It’s about to drop below freezing here in Glasgow and snow in the next few days so no need to rush back to Helensburgh. BZ Jack!
Don't even need to watch it before I give you a thumbs up. Looking forward to this.
I just love your videos- and the music. Very relaxing to watch. There is no narcism about you, and your resourcefulness is inspiring. Every time you wish your you-tube ‘subscriber’ well it makes me giggle 🎉
I always knew you were a giggler, Jackie...
@@onemanonebike8514 🤭
I did laugh when you said about the temperature! I looked at my outside thermometer and it said 2 degrees 😂
Haven't seen any camels 🤣. Very enjoyable as usual Ian
Ok 👏🎉👍
Great stuff as usual, love the music. Peace
Good Morning from Australia Ian

You and me both!
Come to Turkey as well. Travel My Country Too, Big Brother👍
On my 'todo' list, mate...

Hope you had nice trip through the Moroccan sahara, it's so nice , the footage is also great, is it a gopro hero 9?
GoPro 12. Its pretty good.
Hello🖐👍👋👋
Great video again Ian, good to hear you are feeling good and the bike is going good again, looking forward to the next episode of your adventures cheers mate for some sunshine in the middle of a Scottish winter 🥶
😂😂😂
as always a great experience, looking a bit dusty ;)
22:32 “they’re behind youuuu” “oh no they’re not” “oh yes they are”
Safe journeys onwards Ian
Brilliant story there Ian,I can see a book coming!
Ever read Paul Theroux travels through Africa?
No mate, i havent. I'll have a look though. Cheers.
Have a safe road
Thanks for all the videos you're posting. The video image is always stable! Any videos that I take on the bike have a lot of trembling! What camera are you using? "Saludos" from Spain.
Saludos.... I am using the GoPro 12. The stabilisation is pretty good.
@@onemanonebike8514 thanks

The travelling i dont mind. Its packing away all the kit then next morning I find tiring. The only thing I miss about home is my bed, to be honest.

Thanks for the update Ian, 570 miles in one day and another 170 the next after a nights sleep. That's some going!
Its because I'm old. And stubborn...
Hi buddy, hope ya ok, I guess you are chilling out and editing
LOL! Camels, I've not seen any, with two in the background at 22:14
I know. I missed them. They must have been tip-toeing...
Hey…nice vid ! Can I ask what roll bag you are using there and how are you getting on with it ? I’m in the market for one myself at the moment….shortlist is a lomo Vizallo, or an Oxford Aqua t50 or t70!
The Vizallo is superb. Easy to clip on and off the bike and has never let anything into the bag, either water or dust. Superb.
Do you take antimalaria pills?
No. Prolonged use can incur side effects. I'm old enough and not need any extra health concerns so decided to just take more care about exposing skin and making sure my tent was mozzie free.
what navigation you use please?
Google maps...! I did'nt want to spend £180 to buy the garmin ones so i'm using google maps i'm, afraid. Sorry to dissapoint you...
did you get the ton out of it?
Nooooooo. On those roads... And with my luggage.... But without the luggage id like to try...
Hi Ian that has to be the most boring journey in the world, I don’t see anything beautiful on sand, sand, and more sand. otherwise enjoying your videos.
The western sahara and Mauritania really are hard work because of the monotony of the scenery. But, its all part of the journey.
