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.

Gadgets are fine but only with the help of a friendly french man I got back on the road! (Watch his reaction💪🏼) Who else have had a DEAD BATTERY before? I bet y‘all had!!😅
You're always welcome in France brother✌️
I´ve had similar problems this winter many many times and always jumpstarter kicks my Yamaha Xt600 going :). Nice video Marc
@@EstebanDVO happy to hear 🤗
@@mackone5594 👍🏼🤙🏼
I have had a trip when my battery burned acid because of faulty voltage regulator. So every 300km I had to put destilled water in it, anyway I did over 1200km Yeeee
Hi Marc I have a 1995 Africa Twin with 83.000 miles I was going to swap it out for a more modern bike but your channel has changed my mind I'm keeping it as it has character like your dominator.modern bikes have no character.thanks for a fantastic channel.stay safe.
I feel the same way Tim. Newer bikes are all very similar I think. Thanks for watching my friend🤙🏼
almost agree with you.. but yeah.. theres nothing wrong with the late 70s & 80s bikes.. my era.. just fit a full carb kits.. do the fork seals & flush them clean.. head stock bearings grease, swing arm bushes & wheel bearings & they'll do another 100k km.. i like those V twins.. they're even more robust than the big singles & MUCH smoother.. sweeeet runners.. AND I think the do better fuel economy than the singles too.
Now this trip looks like a huge adventure, cold weather, ice roads, little bike faults, I know how it is when do trip on my Yamaha 1992. It's a great experience, You're best Bro 👍. Keep going 🏍
Yes what an awesome experience 🙌🏼 one more day until back to Berlin 💪🏼 let’s hope everything goes smooth 🤗 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Had a similar experience, my KTM wouldn’t start, eventually jump started & a quick ride to an auto parts shop, new battery & problem solved. Glad everything worked out & you were able to cover some distance, have a great ride home! 🤘
Thanks my friend🤗 fingers crossed there won’t be a snowstorm or something like that 😬❄️🥶 see you in the next episode 🤙🏼
Fair play to you Marc, i hate the cold and rain with a passion. [I live in damp UK !!].
I think that was the Honda's way of telling you it wants the journey to continue and NOT back to Berlin. Lol
But you must be relieved to finally be heading home, where both of you can finally relax & get the attention you deserve & need. Thanks for taking us along for this amazing trip.😁👍
Yes we’ll have a day off or 2 after coming home 😃 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Merci pour le partage de ton expérience. Là on vois que tu souffres et que tout ne s'est pas passé comme prévu. Mais c'est ça l'aventure, tu as le don de transmettre ton expérience et c'est vraiment ça qui est intéressant dans tes vidéos. Force et robustesse !
Thanks so much for watch my friend🤙🏼
She doesn't want to go home. 😆 Like taking a dog from the dog park. ❤
Hehe yeah you’re probably right 😁 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
It’s it just ironic that when you have a really cold ride ahead you layer up with as many cloths as possible and end up pushing your bike around the car park to get it started until you are sweating like mad. Then when you get going you get really cold really quickly!
Yes this is exactly what happened! I should have taken off clothes while pushing the bike but I guess I was just too lazy, you know what an effort it is…all the layers 😅 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
WOOWOOO ... well done Marc.. do not let things beat you down... Thanks to the man that helped you .. you've been back on track .. Well done ..
Yes💪🏼 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
That's why kick start is needed in every motorcycle. I also fall similar kind of problem. After trying 30 minutes I succeed start my bike.
Cool👍🏼 yes kickstart would be cool 🤙🏼
That was interesting Marc, a jump pack for bikes, never knew they made them, not far from home now at least you are back in Germany. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇩🇪
Yes🙌🏼 800km to go💪🏼
I really appreciate your craft and the work you put into your videos - outstanding!!! Even to get help from the man for the bumpstart, you set up the camera 👏👏👏
Great adventure, Marc!
Thanks for noticing man🤗 always trying Tonmaterial the best video possible 🙌🏼
Great to watch , i have ridden many times in these temperatures , For the next build the case and kick start from the dominator model that has this to yours...it can be done . keep on keeping on....
Okay…thank you for watching mate 🤗🤙🏼
Marc ur travel blogs have in spired me too travel around Europe, I head off in summer thank you,,, seen someone asked why your traveling saying cold tired bike won’t start etc etc ,, keep traveling your doing what lots of people can’t do and can just watch your travel , keep it going well done 👍🏴
Thanks mate! Good to hear that and makes me happy I inspired you to go out traveling🤗 have a great journey my friend 🤙🏼
'Almost' home.
I put heated grips on my bike last year. I should have done that ten years ago.
Of course we've all had a dead battery. Nowadays I take it inside when it starts freezing.
Yes that’s good advice👍🏼 thanks man 🤗
Congratulations! You did it.
Yes back in Germany 🇩🇪 800kms to go 💪🏼
Another testing start to the day, another life experience. Great video 👍
Yes 🙌🏼 I learned so much on this trip 🤩 cheers mate 🤙🏼
he Marc .when temps go down to 0 or more the power of the battery is less.. But the engine dont make the strange noise!! thats better !. Waiting for one of the last videos of this trip.i hope you have new plans.
Yes I have plans already 🤗 let’s get back home first and the Honda in a proper workshop 🙌🏼
I used to own one 12 years ago and still miss it. Awesome bike and took it all over New Zealand form beaches to mountains!!
Awesome 🤗 love New Zealand 🇳🇿 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Low battery!! I know exactly the problem. More than 100k km and original Yuasha.
Camping at -5• and thanks to the kick starter. My Dominator was a 1988 model with kick starter system. Go on Marc!
Ciao Edoardo il Dolfy
Yeah I wish mine Stil had the original engine with kickstart, that would have helped. Thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravelsI have subscribed!
@@edoardomaterossi3722 thanks edoardo, appreciate it 🤗
Your videos are inspiring, cool what you do. So much so that I also plan to embark on a longer journey with my "old girl" Honda Revere. But only in summer ... from Budapest to the ocean ... if. I wish you perseverance and good speed!
Awesome 🤩 have a great trip my friend 🙌🏼🤙🏼
👍 Trying to push start a 650 single is far from the easiest thing to do in life, been there, done that a few times and flat ground makes it so much harder, I need third gear on my DR 650 and lots of speed.
Time for a new battery I think, good thing you are now close to home.
It has been great to follow your adventures, they keep the fires burning bright. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching the videos my friend 🤙🏼
Top Bad you finished your trip with the most unexpected freezing temperature. That was an amazing journée anyway. Many riders followed you, with deep respect.😁👍✌️
Thanks mate but we‘re not home yet and there’s snow in the forcast😬❄️
Hi Mark! listen to my advice, at near zero temperatures, the composition of the mixture of gasoline and air changes, this is a problem for all carbureted motorcycles, and don’t torment the starter and battery, just buy a plastic cleaner for car upholstery, on a cold start, just simultaneously apply a little aerosol to the air filter and Honda starts!
Okay thanks for the advice 👍🏼 cheers🤙🏼
Nice advice, bro. Thanks.
@@JanWagner77 ✌
What kind of aerosol?
@@090448able I prefer starter spray but you could use every highly flammable aerosol spray money can buy.
Had the same problem with my 650L. When I rebuilt the motor I added a Kick Starter also. Never fails.
Cool 👍🏼 thanks for tuning in mate 🤙🏼
That engine works on its own, not in the mood. I have similar problems when it is cold with my BMW f 650. Two coils, two spark plugs, one cylinder, but with all the persuasion and prayer there is no mercy. Then the idea came to me, I warmed up the coils and carburetors with a hair dryer, and little by little I would catch the rhythm. It’s pretty embarrassing to run a motorcycle in front of spectators like that. But in some cases it arouses sympathy and empathy. I like your travels in the cold and shitty weather, and the way. to which you put up with it all. Let a smile be your umbrella!
PS: How I envy you!
It hurts!
Thanks for watching my friend 🤗🤙🏼
I love the french. Awesome episode Marc. I love this !
Yes great people in France 🇫🇷 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Well, at the beginning i thought It was the clutch bell unable to grind.I had that too expensive problem to my Old kle500 and o changed my motorcycle.Good luck!!!...the last effort to Berlin
Just catching up finally with your latest episodes …..! So true what Leszek says in his comments below 👍 I felt cold just watching!! 🥶 👏👏 Good to see you on the ‘ home straight ‘now ! 👍
Thanks for tuning in clwyd🤗🤙🏼
Oh men, i'm adictted on your videos. I wish i could do the very same One day!!! Such an inspiration, thank you for your Share.
Your trip, is our trip....
Thanks for joining me here my friend 🤗🤙🏼
Tiago, you are either setting out on adventure or not. If this is your wish then off you go. I have done this on many occasions myself, globally. It is just a matter of really wanting to. 🏍️🏍️🏍️
@@yossiallen3316 yes i think anybody can do something similar with any bike 🙌🏼
Great Marc the Honda brings you home nice video
Yes 💪🏼 she will🤗 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Brrrr! 🥶 Well done Marc for persevering! I think I would have just gone back to bed! 🤣🤣👍
Hehe well I thought about it 😴 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
yak - cold and snow even.... I bet you were hoping for a better weather for the way back.... it reminds me of a return to Holland many bears ago, crossing the Ardennes in Belgium I too wore the rain gear as extra layer over the leather as it was damn cold - but it did not help much....I stopped at each gas station to warm up my hands with the air driers....
Hi my friend. You have realy earned some time off the road. Get your streangth back and take care of the HONDA. I will looking out for your next adventure very much. Thank you for always bringing nice content to your channel. Take care and be safe. Hugs from Sweden.
Thanks for the nice comment my friend 🤗🤙🏼
That's why a Kickstart kit is a must... And once do inator has the same motor as the XR650L i think it'll be possible.
Yes👍🏼
Hallo, du musst deine alte Honda sehr mögen, ich hätte schon keine Lust mehr dazu gehabt. Aber, du bist ja jetzt fast zu Hause.....und das ist gut so! Gruss Michael
Ja ich mag die Honda sehr und sie wird auch wieder flott gemacht für die nächste Reise wenn wir zurück in Berlin sind🤗 bis dahin hält sie und das Wetter hoffentlich gut durch 😁💪🏼 danke fürs reinschauen 🤙🏼
If you know your battery is not 100%, remove it when it is cold at the moment you arrive.
Re-install in the morning.
Also I think it would help you a lot if you are able to fix your own bike. Makes decisions regarding the extend of damage and “funny noises” also a lot less stressful.
Ride on!!
Alright, thanks for the advice Mark 👍🏼 cheers
How can he just fix his own bike? Most people are not mechanics and able to take the engine apart.
@@chamade166 basic understanding of how the bike works can make problem assessment a lot better. This bike is really easy to wrench on, if you are not disabled (no pun intended) you can learn this yourself. Google/TH-cam/proper maintenance manuals, a basic tool set and you can do almost everything on your own bike (at home).
It really is no rocket science. All the skills you learn from this will make traveling way more pleasant, without the worrying. Just start with simple maintenance and work your way up.
I am now doing car gearbox rebuilds at home for example, without formal training. And if I can do it…
@@chamade166 Well, when you travel around the world like that, then i think that it is a must to know a bit of the basics.
Handsome, solved all the problems!
Thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
I learnt this trick with my little Yamaha Tw 125, sturdy bike, but here in Italy I found some bad partitions of gas, which rendered cold start up just impossible. If the bike doesn't want to start, lean it all the way to the ground to the left then bring it back up and try to start it again. Some gas escapes the carburetor and directly gets into the chamber... It gets off immediately. You're doing a great job with the channel! Keep it up!
Okay that’s for the tip Matteo🤗🤙🏼
Such a cool adventure with all the different types of riding types
Yes I feel like we‘ve had it all but a snowstorm ❄️😅…yet😬 still not home;) thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
It's what they call a climate warming!:) Here in Helsinki we have very cold spring. This morning my Blackbird just about started lazy from +2C, (-4C during the night). What helps is if you take the battery off and keep it inside over the night, and thin oil, fully synthetic oil.
Good advice! Thanks mate 🤙🏼
I'm in Kirkkonummi cant even get out of my drive way with 150 cm ice .
I'm itching to get the Super ten on the road going give it a few more weeks. Maybe Vappu
Yeah its defo a new battery time .
@@Errol.C-nz alright thanks mate, appreciate all your suggestions! 🤗🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels add to those solutions.. you're running accessories the bike wasn't designed to feed power to.. when you get the cam chain & tensioner done.. look at upgrading the generator stator to a higher capacity one too.. it may be that your charging system is struggling to keep the battery fully charged fighting a colder battery too.. a usb plug with a voltage read out would be a good battery health check while you're riding.. needs to read to one decimal to be useful though.. E10 the 10% ethanol can breakdown old hardened neoprene rubber fuel lines & seal rings in the carb & tank fuel tap.. look at a full carb kit replacement gaskets & seals would be another safety backup to safely allow you to use ethanol fuels.. 92 octane aye.. i would strongly recommend you have your garage test the engines oil pressure while running synthetic oil as another safety check.. it would be a good option if the engine's tolerances are still tight enough for the thinner oil when cold.. maybe a higher capacity oil pump.. .. these engine cases can have the older kick starts fitted in some cases too.. check list's getting awfully long & potentially expensive..
I would suggest seek out an adventure riders club or bike club.. there will be lots of guys that can help you to do all these things yourself.. then you remove all the worries you've had not knowing youre bike.. AND the confidence to know, you can fix it IF.. anything should go wrong on the road.. not to mention reducing a huge cost.. loving your adventures mate, from the warm comfort of my home 🤗.. cheers from NZ
These days there is cold everywhere in Europe. Hope it goes soon. :) Drop by buddy. You may like it. :)
Those cold mornings i also remember the push starting my bike and back in the days before heated accessories the only warmth came from wrapping my hands around the cylinder head at traffic lights and this i still do as i don't have heated grips on my 650 Suzuki .
Great little booster pack
Don't forget to charge it up Marc
Happy travels friend .
Yes I charged it up right away in the hotel for the next morning, just in case 😬 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
As a all year round rider (Niederlande) on a Honda Transalp without heated grips I could feel your fingers😂. I just stumbled on your channel. Love it. Gets me inspired to do more long haul trips.
Awesome! Welcome to the channel Jan 🤗🤙🏼
so glad u got the old girl going. Yes, flat battery more than once, good old bump start never fails, unless yr in 3rd of course...
Thanks for a great video. New here not to riding sounds like cam chain stretched be on cam chain tightner adjustment like your bike never seen one in the states. Still snowing here upstate New York. Thanks again cheers.
Thanks for watching Bruce, here’s also snow in the forecast ❄️ let’s hope I get home without that😁 cheers mate 🤙🏼
Respect!
I feel could just by watching.
It was cold 🥶 but survived 💪🏼 thanks for watching🤙🏼
Bravo! Bentornato a casa! Strong man!
Thanks for watching mate🤙🏼
Thank you
Muy buena aventura,me alegro que hallas disfrutado de tu paso por España,se agradece los subtítulos en español para los que no sabemos de idiomas.
Y esa dominator cuidala mucho se lo merece
Thanks for watching Mauricio🤗 cheers Marc🤙🏼
I think the Honda is wanting to get home as much as you, l remember all to well riding in the Scottish winter 🥶 was always good to stop for a hot drink, hope you have no more starting problems.
Thanks mate 🤗 800km to go 💪🏼 cheers
Sowas braucht kein Mensch...weder Wetter 🥶noch Start...gut gegangen 👍 Habe etwas stärkeren Booster, der hat schon Autos und Boote gestartet...und kann prima bei Camping Elektronik laden. Weiter viel Glück 🍀
Klingt gut, wie heist der booster? Danke fürs reinschauen🤗
Marc Travels Der Booster ist von YABER / AMAZON und auch für Dieselfahrzeuge...etwas grösser wie Deiner, hat etwa 79 €, vor 2-3 Jahren gekauft und sehr zufrieden. Habe kleines 50 W Solarpanel dafür...damit bin ich immer und überall autark. Alles Gute !
@@naimavonemden8101 ah cool, meiner ist auch ein yaber glaube ich. Super dass es auch noch größere davon gibt 🤗
Hi Marc, I wear latex gloves under my motorcycle gloves super thin , toasty hands a bit sweaty but it works, stay safe 👍
That’s a great tip!! Thanks so much Phil 🤙🏼
Hopefully you reached the hotel. :) That was nice. Keep up buddy. You got my like.
Yes 🤗 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Always waiting for your adventure sir keep safe always 👊🤙🇵🇭
Will do💪🏼 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Glad it all worked out in the end! I'm curious about your workflow with the videos, especially how to empty the go2 and save the files during the trip. I'm trying to use the Go2 as my main camera too. It would be nice if you made a video showing how you deal with this.
Oh that’s easy, I edit the videos every night on the iPad and format the cameras every day. That way I always have enough storage 🤗 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Hahhaha that was quite an epic start to the video!! But still proud of the Honda💪💪 Great to see you in Germany! Cheers!
Thanks for watching my friend 🤙🏼
Almost...... Home sweet home!
Almost 🤗 800km to go 🤙🏼
De NX 650 Dominator is 'meestal' een erg betrouwbare motor maar heeft door z'n leeftijd af en toe wat kuren.
Maar door voorzichtig te rijden en regelmatig oliepeil, ketting enz...te checken kan je veel leed voorkomen.
Ik heb dat ook gehad op mijn XT500... en die heeft mij ondanks enkele vervelende voorvallen ook nooit in de steek gelaten.
Genoten van de mooie reisvideo's...zeker met zo'n oude motor.
Mijn huidige is een Triumph Tiger 850 Sport, niet te vergelijken natuurlijk, maar met zo'n oude Honda...da's echt avontuur!👌👍😉
Thanks for watching mate 🤗 appreciate the nice comment 🤙🏼
I use electric pre-heater every cold starting in winter. Camping stove work also. LiFePo- battery is good, but not good to keep it in freezing temp.
Okay, Good tip. Thanks mate 🤙🏼
Man that must have been cold -Brrrrrr 🥶 I’m sitting in air con in the tropics in North Queensland and I was starting to feel the cold
Hehe and it‘ll get even colder next episode 🥶🥶🥶 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Hi there...luckily you had an extra power supply👍. Seems to be on a cold ride🙂🍵
Yes it was cold 🥶 but at least no snow ❄️ thanks for watching my friend 🤙🏼
Winterse toestanden....met het juiste gereedschap en een beetje geduld.....en de motor draait als een zonnetje🥶🌞👍
Yes, tough conditions but the Honda holds on 💪🏼💪🏼
@@MarcTravels Respect man!👍

You managed to start Yr bike again great
Yes💪🏼 with the help of a nice french man 👨🏻 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Dominator is the best adventure bike!!
Okay 👍🏼 thanks for watching Ken 🤗🤙🏼
Good to hear you are almost back at home base. If there is a short somewhere in your electrical that is slowly draining the battery. Brake switch? You can disconnect one of your battery poles when you are in the hotel. That will save your battery. Don't forget to reconnect it when you start your day of driving. You will find that as the cam chain stretches the computer will be always trying to advance the timing in order to keep up with the constant missaligning between the crank position sensor and the spark plug coils and the intake and exhaust valve timing. Which will also negatively affect your charging system. Below zero temperatures will reduce the cranking amps on your battery as well. It will get harder and harder to get it started and keep it moving. disconnecting it and bringing it into your warm room overnight will extend its use, if it is on its way out. Just a few tricks, from an old traveller.
Alright, thanks for the tips Andrew. Appreciate it🤗 cheers, Marc
Hacer ejercicio por la mañana ayuda a quitar el frió del cuerpo... esa buena Honda necesita una revisió ya! Lo está dando todo en este viaje tan largo, pobrecita. Tengo ganas de que llegues a Berlín y ver como el mecánico se ocupa de la Honda. Ánimos Marc!!! 💪💪💪
Yes she deserves proper treatment at home 🤗 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
hi marc,crazy weather your getting but safe home
Thanks mate, fingers crossed there won’t be snow ❄️🤞🏼 cheers
02:47 great reaction !
😯😃
Meu Deus!! muito frio!!! parabéns pelo vídeo!!
Very cold 🥶 thanks for watching Cicero 🤙🏼
-4 C? In November 1966 I rode 7 miles in +7F (-14C) on a 1965 Honda 305 Dream, then got in the back of an open truck to go deer hunting. We walked up about 1500 feet to a mountain top, working up some sweat, then sat down to wait for a shot. All I wanted to do was start a small fire to warm up. You should have my 2000 ST1100 Pan European for a ride in that kind of weather. It has heated grips and a plug in for a heated vest. So yes, I feel your pain.
Wow that’s cold 🥶 very cool you did stuff like that, a true adventurer💪🏼 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels When you are 17 you do dumb stuff. Also keep in mind I did not have the kind of cold weather gear we have today. In 1979 and 1980 I worked for a Honda dealer 25 miles away. I bought a 1978 CX-500 after trading in my 1969 CB-750 (sandcast) for $900. (Who knew what they would be worth later?). I fitted a Plexifairing by grinding it to match the headlight cowl, so it stopped a lot of wind. I would ride that commute as long as it was 35 degrees F , ( +1 to +2 C) in the morning. By then I had a snowmobile suit that worked well and some good gloves. That bike was so stable, I once went 15 miles of the four lane highway without touching the handlebars once.
awesome As always... 👍👍👍
Thanks my friend 🤙🏼
Do not know if it has allready been suggested, but you could register the travel of the little wire metal spring, hoocked to the brake pedal, until tje light just about goes off.
Alright thanks for the tip Roberto 🤙🏼
Grandeeee, mi è venuto freddo a guardare il video 👍💪👋
Yes it was freezing 🥶 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍❤️
Thanks my friend 🤙🏼
Amazing
Nice riding adventure
Thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
a jumpstarter is nice 😎
But disconnect your batteri and take it inside when it is that cold ...
is just as efective ... just an advice from a 60 years biker ...
love to follow you on your trip !!! stay safe out there my freind
Alright, thanks for the tip my friend 🤗🤙🏼
What a day, my friend! Cold and low battery😬
I've a jumper starter too, very useful👍🙂
800 km still to do, and you'll be at home 💪🏼🙂
Yes let’s hope we get home without more troubles 😁 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Great story!
Thanks for watching Tony 🤙🏼
Ein tolles Video wieder 👍👍
Danke fürs reinschauen Gerhard🤗🤙🏼
I bought one of those jump boxes they are the best
Yeah they are really cool! I guess in the cold they also struggle a bit cause of the lithium ion batteries. Anyways helped me out twice since I have it now 🙌🏼 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Respect man!!!
Thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
A friendly tip. See if you can get hold of a multimeter, then check for battery drain. It wouldn't hurt for a load test on the battery either. If you need a new 1,don't go lead acid go Gel or something more modern. E10 would not have hurt the Honda. Ok Its not my prefered fuel, it does not last over time. But the occasional tank in tank out won't hurt,especially with you touring. The honda is tough and doesn't have newer tech to let you down. Good effort. I will watch further vids with great interest. Ps. In Australia we add fuel stabilizer if we store fuel for any amount of time.I don't know what the quality of fuel is in your part of the world. Great series of vids my friend. Take care. If you come to Australia , give me a Hoy.
Thanks for the great tips my friend🤗🤙🏼
Great video buddy ride safe
Thanks man 🤙🏼
Lucky man, back to good old Germany. So the rest... no problem to Berlin hope so.
Yeah fingers crossed 🤞🏼 there’s snow in the forecast tho ❄️
Cool Weather drain batery ,Stay strong 👍🇵🇹
Yes👍🏼 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
I noticed the dreaded E10 fuel reared it’s head. Nasty stuff, you would think at the price it is they would put gold leaf in the recipe not produce it for less and charge us more
Absolute hero riding in minus temperature
Thanks for watching James 🤗🤙🏼
Nice Videos. Good editing. Just missing two things: "where" and "when". More details about the route and the date of travelling would be a good supplement. Well done!
Alright, thanks for your thoughts and for watching 🤗 🤙🏼
I agree on the "where" part.. A little route map would be great. People need to know where are these beautiful places📍
About the "when".. Not so important. 👍
@@NickRusty What about the "when" part? History has no meaning without a time reference.
@@user-ei3hk5zp2i when you watch a nature or travel documentary you rarely get time information. Have you ever seen on a National geographic or Discovery documentary giving info about specific month or day of a year?
Also:You know from TH-cam that this is happening around this time. First quarter of 2022. You don't need more info. (Big example: Itchy Boots) ☺️
I was surprised you didnt saw rain, but turn out you did get a little wet
Yes it was slight rain the whole time, but at least no snow ❄️ yet 🤞🏼 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Brrrrr cold man. Hopefully it will be warmer on your next big adventure
Thanks for watching mate 🥶🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels Always, looking forward to the rest of your adventures
Thanks 👍👍
Keep on moving bro 👍✌👋👏👏👏
Will do 💪🏼💪🏼 thanks mate
I think your battery is a bit weak because in the morning it was difficult to start the engine . With the booster it has more torque in the starter. After this the battery was charged and there was no problem despite the low temperature. It seem very cold day, wow !! Good that you arrived to Germany, Marc.
Yes home is not far away anymore 🤗🤙🏼
Marc. The jump-starter unit you have is filled with capacitors, that charge from even a weak battery............but you have to follow the instructions ! In a strange land, or under cold or muddy condition, it is a challenge to kick-start such a machine by pushing. Maybe you can make a jumper cable with the same gauge wires as the jump-starter, and use some plastic-ties and secure it on the bike. It will be invaluable, if someone with another vehicle is willing to give you a jump...............even a woman !
Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies.
Thanks for the advice my friend 🤙🏼 cheers, Marc
Can't wait to see you come back and restore your motorbike . Because you want to do it!;D
Yes 🙌🏼 I will probably bring it to a pro, since I also have to get back to work and make some money to pay the big workshop bill and save up for my next adventure 🤩 but I will keep you guys in the loop 🤙🏼
Super Marc👍👍👍
Thanks for watching jaromir🤗🤙🏼
alone... on a bike is always an adveture. I have being following you for some time and I notice that you miss a bit of mechanic expertises 😄. not worry but it could help!👍. Your battery is probably old and that means that the acid/dest. water is poor, and doesn't produce enough chemical reaction for the amp that you need....With cold weather (espacelly minus temp.) it gets worst. If you can get a new battery. safe rides and looking forward to see the next advetures.
Alright thanks for the tip👍🏼 cheers
Respect for you man, I’m driving a Deauville 700 myself and 5degrees is the absolute minimum temperature even with heated grips on…
🥶 thanks for watching Patrick 🤗🤙🏼
I too have the Deauville NT700ve mine will be coming out soon, I hope this year it doesn’t play me up like it did last spring after a winter stand. It’s a bike that doesn’t like to be sat it needs regular riding.
@@davidcarroll2035 no problems with that, normally I drive it each day. This week is exception cause salty roads in Belgium. Yearly 25Kkm on the tachometer. It has 105.000km and running as new love that bike👍
