Great to see you having a good time in Spain. The great thing about southern (and eastern) Europe is that you can holiday so cheaply. Sure camping and cooking your own food is less expensive but you get to a time when the riding is great but you want some comfort in the evening. We tour on my Road King and stay in a variety of cheap and expensive hotels but it's still vastly less expensive than northern Europe or the UK. You can have a long day exploring because you know in the evening you can relax in comfort. I would recommend that you ditch the camping gear for Europe and really explore. In some villages in Spain and Portugal you can stay in 'bed and breakfast" places where you are essentially staying in someones home where they cook for you and you can really get into the culture - for next to no money. My days of 500 miles a day touring are over; 250 miles a day is more than enough to enjoy the landscape and see the country and not wear yourself out especially if you're on an long trip.
As much as I love camping , I totally hear that .. for certain countries makes 100% sense . So many benefits.. and the times we did cook when camping it Cost us more than eating out . Go figure. Thanks mate
Don’t worry your no Danny Hayes. This channel is way better. Had to laugh when you said about the camping equipment. I remember a few years back me and the better half felt so guilty that we were staying in hotels rather than camping we popped the tent up in the room and camped the night. The camp fire was a bit shite but we ended up watching a TH-cam video of a fire pit to give it some authenticity. Great video can’t wait until the next one.
Salamanca blew me away when I rode there a few years ago. I ended up posting my camping gear back to England as I just didn't use it in Spain. Used it all the time in the rest of Europe. Love the videos. Can't wait for the next episode
@@Stevena1973 Ah great eh ! What a place . You done a good move posting it , We did camp for a week in the South so I’m not beating myself up too bad Thanks so much dude
Yay!!!! We really enjoyed this awesome video thank you. We were also blown away by the prices, and didn't take a tent. Salamanca looks stunning and is now on our wishlist. ✨️🪄.
@@Creativehealing444 ah thanks so much ! I know , incredible value huh ! Salamanca is 100% worth stopping .. so much to see . Could easily lose a few days there . The architecture is just stunning . Best wishes
This video was so awesome. You guys are bad ass . I know what you did in the terrible wind . You leaned into it 😊 Thanks again for another great video. Mark from Maryland
Wow! That weather in northern Spain was treacherous, especially when riding a motorcycle. No one in their right mind can disagree that heading South was a sound decision. Impressive plaza in Salamanca with the old architecture preserved throughout time, with a surreal atmosphere. Having the camping gear is a good fallback plan but staying in hotels at affordable prices is much better and provides more rest and comfort. You also have more opportunities for eating in restaurants or cafes. I'm enjoying seeing Spain with your videos and appreciate the experiences you share. Safe travels and my best wishes always.
Yep.. we done right thing, That plaza was jaw dropping, they used to have bull fights in there and executions back in the day... it must have seen so much. There is a wonderful Roman bridge too.. so much to see. Thanks so much for kind words. A pleasure to hear from you as always . best wishes.
The first time I went to Spain and ordered a whisky & soda I thought they'd never stop pouring, my Spanish wife just laughed and told me to drink up 😂. Great video guys, looking at doing this journey next year with a mate for his 60th, but only going as far as Toledo 👍🏻
@@MrPX207 hahaha … there was a time I used to love the Spain measures of spirits !!! That glass was as big as Lisa’s head ! Good luck for next year .. lovely to have something to look forward to over the winter . We already talking of what’s next .. missing the road already . Thanks so much Happy safe travels
Great story Mark, liked the self interview part. What a place, definitely on my to go list now. Laughed at Lisa vodka and coke it was has big as her head😂. I noticed Lisa’s dice t shirt print, I got it too. Talk about dragging camping gear around , I took mine on the last trip and used it once. Catch up soon .
@@LeanIntoTheWind used it once in 35 days 😂 in Croatia the scenic campsites were €40/50 that was in May/June. Managed to find some ace places for €50 a night, no brainier really. We come unstuck in slovina where accommodation is pricy so we did hostels. We’re ok, just planning new trips for next year bud.
@@bolton737 Yeah don’t make sense , I love camping , but don’t like campsites, Lisa not so keen on wild camping though which I do get . But she grown to like camping , but not if hotels cheap ! But I definitely fancy more Spain next year but with one bag , Best thing Is you can enjoy places more , knowing stuff safe in a room and obviously throw the bike around more ,
@@LeanIntoTheWind the weight thing is a big issue, we got caught out on the Grosglockner when it was bad weather, front end kept sliding away from us, shit myself . Then we had the big days on my group tour between hotels, two up 30kg of luggage up mountain passes and switchbacks can be a challenge.
While i find your channel one of the best moto channels on the tube, i wish you would stop putting out episodes! It just makes me want to head off on two wheels, and i cant!! Very frustrating!! On a serious note, keep up the great videos folks! Always look forward to a new instalment 👍👍
I’ve lived in Spain for 12 years, and it still amazes me ! Salamanca has some stunning places, especially Plaza Mayor. I feel for Lisa, I also can’t eat “el pulpo”. Just the smell turns my stomach.

@@RichardYeoman-dh8um omg , I cannot imagine being in one of those big trucks in those winds . In the Pyrenees we got far worse , we saw a container blown off the edge of a cliff .. incredible how that wind blows ! Cheers mate !!

Wind! A motorcyclists worst enemy. 2008 I rode over Shap summit on the M6. Most terrifying riding experience I've ever had. When I got home to Stranraer I found out a train had been overturned at Shap!!
@@LeanIntoTheWind I always remember, on a right hand bend on the motorway I was pushing really hard on the bars to turn LEFT at 30 mph and I was still being turned right by the wind. At the time I'd been riding bikes over 30 years and I don't mind saying I was scared and shitting it. Am now at fifty years riding and it was still the worst.
@@superglide6680 I wouldn’t be able to relate to this until about two weeks ago on this Spain trip , we got caught out at the very top of the Pyrenees in storm Kirk , saw huge trees uprooted and huge rocks in road , we had no where to go , on a road to small to turn around , no barriers, 1500 meters up , saw two cars in 40 minutes they looked terrified, we crawled along blown left right and centre. Couldn’t get off , no where to park and bike would have blown over , in the end slept in the porch of a closed down restaurant at the very top of Pyrenees as we had pushed our luck as far as we dared , further in fact , never stopped until 6.30 in morning But was dark until 8 At 8am rode down through the clouds in the rain , but wind had gone Scary night , some much destroyed Luckily had cameras on , so got a high drama episode coming in couple months .. I got a new respect for the wind .
Haha I experienced the worst wind (not that type) over shap on the old road on my old fjr 1300 ,I really struggled and had to pull over once ide got to lower ground ,my arm muscles were burning like mad. great vid .Tommy Tickle
Cheers brother Many journeys where the little patch is on your route although sometimes it’s the black patch you hit that was some crazy wind the universe threw at you 2 Made me think that whenever I have trouble getting to sleep I use those memories of storms and crazy weather like being in a storm in the mountains soaked to the skin and then you find shelter maybe a small pension or hotel with warm rooms and hot food that feeling works every time for me am just checking out el roccio on my maps whilst watching yet another of your great vid 👌
@@sadletrampsscooby haha .. yeah I can relate to that ! We make it to El Rocio next week episode , it’s truly remarkable.. we both said it was one of the best places we ever been , there’s nothing quite like it , we stayed a couple days ,
I remember doing the M1 to Greater Driffield from London. Donkeys years ago. CB650 nighthawk. Cross winds all the way. Pretty sure I was at 45 degrees going in a straight line 😂 Haaa looking back at that ride fondly 😂
Love your vids, just ran across them. I have plenty to catch up on. I live in North Louisiana and we have to ride to Arkansas or Texas to see new stuff. Same wind and rain just the town names are different. Be safe
This trip your taking is the same path I took wind rain wanted to camp did one night in the picos and everything was soaked and covered in mud so I ended up in beautiful hotels then thought f-k it off to see my mate in Granada in his cave house had four days of sun shine and back on the road stay safe and carry on
Inspirational that pal. Hope you get rested, looking a bit knackered at the end there. Or maybe just "tired and emotional" :-) I really must get to the Spanish interior. I've only ever been up north. Then it's not too far to Portugal is it..
Good film.Although I love the look and sound of your bike, I've got to say it's bloody hard work in bad conditions. No screen, so the elements are hitting you square in the face. Side winds pushing you all over road. I'm so over naked bikes! My RT may lack the Road King's charisma but it would be 20-times more comfortable on a day like this. If I started a channel I would call it, "Hiding from the wind (behind a big fairing)." I agree with your thought that maybe it's time to leave the camping gear behind - bike balance & handling are more important.
@@trailingarm63 haha I hear you dude , but the punishment makes the good times even sweeter . Haha Hiding from the wind , BRING IT !!! Best wishes bud , happy safe travels
@@arkadiuszszczepanski2169 lovely in Cotswolds and Cornwall , if you get the weather right … it’s paradise, there is a beach we’ve been to a few times in Cornwall called ‘Lantic Bay’ we were there in a heatwave once and only handful folk there as off beaten track , it’s one of the most stunning beaches ever .
