Was just out walking the dog with the wife and said to her "I hope Rich and Eva release a video tonight", imagine my excitement when we got back. 😂 easily the best motovlog channel. Love it as its so relatable.
Hi guys, just watched your piece about the lone rider tank in Wales. Am learning a lot about what is needed, useful from you two. Was also a treat for me to see a Honda SL125 in the car park! My first bike in 1974 and I have one still today! Made my day! Keep up the good work 👍
I tuned into you guys, because i could feel the magic, between you two. Living vicariously through you two, at the moment, before heading off on a 3000 trip, next year, in the land of Oz. Like you, i will be winging it, as i go. Carpet ride?.. Tiger 1200 GT Pro.
Wow, another top notch video! we love the fact you stopped to look at the XT500 which I must admit is close to my heart. I have owned one for 44 years, yes 44!! Keep up the great work and do stop and look at classic bikes whilst you're on you adventures. Cheers Andy & Lyn.
For the part with the oil refinery. It is a money maker, Rotterdam is the biggest port in Europe. It includes the import of a lot of crude oil. That is why the company Shell has become such a big player in the market. Fun fact: those refinary facilities are called soot shitters in Dutch.
I worked for a Dutch company for nearly ten years and used to visit the Netherlands from time to time. The sense of civic pride over there puts many areas of the UK to shame. Even walking through a normal little housing estate, you will see garden and window displays in almost every house that are there just for passers by to see. It's a lovely country.
Another great clip guys. Loving seeing you both out enjoying the adventures you have. I think a ngts camping on my speed triple is in order now you’ve put me in the mood 😊👍🏍️
The key is to buy good kit, As long as you can be warm and dry then youll have a great time. More importantly for us it makes it so much more affordable to camp, the idea of paying £100 plus a night for a room now is unthinkable to us, we hate to have to do that now, our tent is every bit as comfortable with our own things inside it
@@ontheroadadventure I actually did yea I thought the video with the mouldy tent and bugs was hilarious too mate 😂 The outside shower was a joke, no way I’d have stayed there either 😂 Ur clips are awesome keep it up guys and once again congratulations on your engagement 💍 👍😊 Fantastic couple.
You pair are so good to watch, at times we check for a "new release" a couple of times a day. Keep em coming, my wife and I (both71) and him with a RE 450 just love your shows. If you ever make it to Australia, you will be welcomed with open arms everywhere you go, I am sure. And there is plenty to see and ooo's of kilometres to travel.
@ontheroadadventure yeah, you can spend a lot of time researching online and find the reality is very different. At least you didn't have too far to ride to the one you ended up staying at 😀
Lovely video nice day you had, lovely classic Yamaha XT500 . Looking forward to seeing you in Belgium i did the 9 Provence really with the South Wales Vintage Club 3 years running great weekend s on my 65 Norton Atlas. My best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️💪👍😉😀😁🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴⭐
Rotterdam is Europe's biggest harbor and the fourth biggest in the world outside the far-east. The harbor-terrain is almost two times Manhattan. It's huge and very impressive but you won't see that by riding aside. You'ld have to take a boat to see more of it ....
@@ontheroadadventure well it is famous for very advanced methods that includes a lot of automation led by computer-systems. So relatively few people are in the process. a few thousend or something...
I thought it was still the biggest outside Asia. It's not that long ago it was the biggest in the world and only a few years it's out of the top 3, that tells something about the development of Asia. It's a more important port for Germany than Hamburg because that isn't deep enough for many ships, and doesn't have the Rhine. It's all artificial too, Rotterdam was just one of many small sea ports until they started digging in the late 1800's, and making land. It employs a lot of mathematical brains and less muscle these days because it's mostly automated.
Ice cream and lots of sleeping around? Interesting site. Definitely a ham sandwich. Perhaps the ham sarnie is multi lingual and changes as you cross frontiers? So in France it's a French sandwich. I dunno. Northern Belgium and Holland nit the best but the ferry to Harwich is a good option for those of us living out East. No handle on your mug? Take a straw, and make sure you slurp. Ride safe 👍
Belgian mayonaise is quite different from Dutch mayonaise. I prefer it very much but some people really don't like it, so I guess it's the distinctive feature of this "broodje gezond".
We call the dikes the Dutch Mountains because the twisty bits are similar, just without the up 'n down bit 😉 Some are really nice, the ones you were on not so much.
@@ontheroadadventure well it goes up to 350m. or something like that. The east also has some hills like the zeven heuvelen weg near Nijmegen . The Hondsrug (province of Utrecht (?) isn't that flat either. And then you got two big inland sand-drifts in North-Brabant and Gelderland (?) , left- over's of the last Ice-age.
My wife says she's gonna ban me from watching you two. Coz all I talk about is Polish hotdogs and I keep saying "in other news"😂😂 another fantastic episode 👏 👏👏👏
you two remind me and my late partner of 19 years when we went away on rallys and trips abroad we always worked as a team I found it strange when on my own the odd time great times I've started going on the odd rally again it take me a while to set my tent up I've had my tent 15 years plus I like my small mid weight bike can't pick the big one up no more I'm 65 year old now john
We honestly could not do and Achieve as much as we do without each other, it really is all about team work. Im sorry to hear of your partner, Im glad you are able to do the rally's still though and keep those memories alive.
Love that B17 memorial, I want to go see 1 in Poland as its from my Grandfather's squadron so he would have checked it over before it flew on mission. Next month while Anna in Poland I'm going around Suffolk and Norfolk to visit as many B17 memorials as I can in 2 days
@@ontheroadadventure where there is/was a airfield you know be a memorial near by, I still trying to find a site that list memorials of all memorials not just group memorials
Than, you need to come to a Spakenburg ,the Netherlands. That is a little bit of boots. And I see Porsche, Hummer, Ferrari, Maserati, Ram, Audi Q7, BMW x6.
Just spent last couple of hours catching up with you guys great as always we go to Holland every year like the look of that place maybe for next year to visit and have a wander. Have you noticed how expensive petrol is compared the other places in Europe
I dont think it was anymore than anywhere else, I think we filmed some in a petrol station in the "Whats that smell" Episode maybe youll see the price on the pump in that one. The Netherlands was Amazingly Beautiful, we recommend!
that's the last episode for me 😔,having a 2 week cruise around the Mediterranean with the wife for our 40th wedding anniversary , flying to Malta 6am tomorrow and Wi-Fi on the ship is £50 a day 😡, so i will have to binge watch when i get back home . just think rich i would be out now after 40 years and have money 😂

The wind, that is the dutch mountain you heard about. Cyclist call the wind over the flat lands "the Dutch Mountain" because it always blows against you.
@@DenUitvreterThe people from Dutch Zeeuws-Vlaanderen can travel to the rest of the Netherlands by ferry or via Belgium. They wanted a road tunnel, but the Dutch government did not want to pay for it. Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is not that populated and a tunnel cost about 750 million euros last century. The province of Zeeland then decided to finance a tunnel by charging tolls for 30 years. In 2025, the tunnel will be paid off and no more tolls will be charged.
YES!! I got the Bruises on the top of my leg from hitting the shock over and over to show for it... I was going to buy one of a friend as he couldnt get it started but after many many goes i soon decided against it aswell!

Im glad im not the only one who thinks these things! It baffles me as well as amuses me! How far can we take this posh stuff before its no longer fashionable?
My parents use to tells us about a family who lived in the same mining village. Everyone knew they were going to have visitors because the children came round asking for jam jars. Tea or water was served in them. Apparently they did not have plates only dips in the wooden table where the food was put. BUT they were the kindest people, who during the war raised pigs and chickens on a small piece lo land. All,of which was shared with the rest of the village so no one when short of food. All they asked for was scraps to feed to,the animals.
Sometimes we wonder weather we need all of our things we have at home... I mean for the last 2 months we have had such a limited amount of items and have been just fine... I mean we have one Knife between us and a spork each lol Think of all the things we all have at home that we buy because we think we need them...

Willemstad is so pretty! We stopped and managed a posh coffee en route to Belgium a few weeks ago on our bikes.
What a place to stop. Did you walk around the small back streets?
Yes so pretty. Also walked out to the sea and saw where the old war guns would have been. It was 28 degrees though! 😮
Allot on offer there for such a small town, very pleasant

Glad you enjoyed Willemstad. That’s a payback for your recommendations in around my home, Plymouth.
Thanks bud! 👍
Another great episode, we both said we'd have done a runner from the first camp site 😂 that town was stunning, Holland really is a lovely place.
Its the first really dodgy one we have across for a while now.... Campsites are a real lottery

Well, not the whole country
is flat. Goe to the south of Limburg and you'll see a different landscape. Also in Gelderland some places have hills.
