The last thing you want to happen when you’re on the German Autobahn with no speed limit and hundreds of big trucks left and right of you! A freaking SNOWSTORM! Have you ever been in a situation like that? What would you have done? Let me know guys
I have been in this situation but not with high traffic and intense snow like that.😳 Your helmet starts fogging, sticking snow to your visor. Horrible. That pull off though...I would have made camp on the other side of the guard rails😄in the trees. I hate hotels, but in this situation it would work🤣
Last year we went to a 2 week trip in the France Alps, on the road going back home everything was going good untill my bike stopped working near paris on the freeway all sudden. My friend drove back and helped start the bike, but when it started my radiator was leaking big drops. We agreed driving further and stopped at the next gas station to look if it was ok. Then we drove further and it was really dark and it start hailing and raining so hard. I had a dark visor there were no lights and we were surrounded by trucks and fast going cars. We already drove 800km that day and we needed like 400 more that moment. So we were tired and were determined to get home. It was the scariest ride ever.
I was caught in freezing rain in the mountains one time. Luckily I didn’t have to worry about the traffic like you did. Everything was frozen, visor, hands and road. I found a covered spot and pulled over. I had to thaw out my hands on the engine. Luckily it (freezing rain) didn’t last for too long and I was able to get underway again after a while. Glad you made it off the autobahn safely!
Word of advice [from a trucker of 25 yrs]...never, ever stay along side a truck, get passed or let them pass, once your in the blind side....it never end`s well....especially on a bike.
Don't even be near 'em. The quality of semi-truck drivers has gone down, at least in America, over the last decade. They just jump out into traffic and cut people off willie nillie. They're fast becoming a hazard.
Congratulations on making it safely back home. I rode every kilometer with you, so thank your for taking me along. You're a tough guy and that Honda is even tougher! Looking forward to your next adventure. Drop me a line if you are in the area of Mannheim-Heidelberg!
I believe after this journej with all these collected experiences, range of different kind of weather conditions Mark and his fixed bike will be real fearless duo. Ready for any destination.
Thanks for the adventure Marc! Was a pleasure to be with you in the journey. Can't wait to see the honda fixed and following you in "our" next adventure. Thanks!!!
@@MarcTravels It would be good if you continued to do a few more videos about getting your cam chain, battery and speedometer problems sorted. Maybe a few short day ride outs as well, showing some of the sights of Berlin and surrounding areas !!!!!
Even tho it’s challenging sometimes and also frustrating especially if something’s wrong with the Honda or stuff like that it’s always a great adventure for me. I know I’m very fortunate to be able to do something like that. Makes me happy I can share this amazing journeys with so many people 🤗 thanks for watching the videos my friend 🤙🏼
I remember riding my Honda gold wing one time, then I got caught in one of the blizzard here in Wisconsin. I know exactly what you’re talking about Mark.
Congratulations! Great you and the Honda made it! What an Adventure and what a pleasure to watch it. Your Videos are great as well! I look forward to your next Trip!
Reminds me a lot of a trip I took in 1977 on my Yamaha XS360. I went from Gifhorn in northern Germany to the Algarve and Lisbon. I did 8000km in 5 weeks. I rode with a passenger and had all camping gear on board. Your video series brought back wonderful memories. Thank you.
Happy to be a silent rider with you Marc. You have shown places, people and shared experiences which I would otherwise have not seen. i see the ending your journey safely as a high point and looking forward to join in your travels. Love from Sri Lanka!
Oh wow! That was a crazy crazy episode! Super duper proud of the Honda! I mean what else can you expect from a bike thats this old! Cheers Marc, it was great being on this series with you, great episodes great everything! Hope the Honda gets back in Perfect shape soon!
The journey started when it was snowing and now it ended with snow too. Glad you are back safe and sound 🙌 You and the Honda are a great team. Now she needs some rest and a little bit of maintenance. Hope to see much more adventures in the future! Ride safe!
Every successful journey ends safely, and no good story starts with "it was really boring". Well done, you picked a rugged tough old Honda to do it on. Take care of the bike, get her fixed and head out on another great ride.
Marc, you're no longer the star of your own videos! The fabulous little Honda, struggling along with a tired, rattling engine and failing electrics, was absolutely determined to get you home safely! 👏 I'm pleased you both made it and look forward to your next trip, once you're both rejuvenated! 👍
Wow, that was a white knuckle ride ! The autobahn can be really intimidating but in foul weather it must be a horror show ! Glad that you made it back safely Marc ! 😲
Glad that you are safe. It seemed very scary especially due to icy road, there was practically no traction. You took GREAT decision by calling the night off! Thanks for creating this wonderful content. Like your humble and down to earth approach. Wish you great success bro!!
Ive been riding for sometime now and the closest call Ive ever had was with ice. It was automatic I lost the front with no possible reaction. Luckily it was on a light 125cc at that time and I could push me back with my leg. I believe im quite confident in general I dont mind wind or rain but once and no more with ice. So glad you did home just fine
Great job getting through the last two days. First thing I’d do to the bike is check your electrical connections and fuses. Ice buildup may have caused arcing or short.
damn that's scary but glad you made it through okay. The autobahn reminds me of highways here in California. What a trek, can't wait to see what else you do!
Well done Marc! The last day of your trip was really hard, but I'm happy because everything ended well. I was with you throw every kilometers, amazing trip 👍🙂
Hi Marc welcome back home! You and your amazing Dominator have passed hot temperatures in Portugal, unbelievable rains and snow an icy roads in Germany. All the best for you waiting for your last video.
Glad to see you made it “home” , still think the sound is like a valve seat which sometimes comes loose. Hope you’l find out what it is. Respect for you on this trip, because I know from experience that a (“light”) 1 cilinder bike isn’t the easyest to make such a big trip .
Marc, that was a difficult watch when you got caught put on the auto bahn in the snow but your skill and perseverance paid off. I absolutely knew it would last the trip. Superb bike. She's a little tired as I'm sure you are too. Thanks for the great videos.
Well done Marc that was an ordeal for you, I felt cold watching.having ridden in similar conditions I really felt for you. Looking forward seeing what your mechanic says what needs fixing Welcome home
Ouch what a stressful thing to get caught in a blizzard 🥶 When you set off I was already looking at those dark clouds in the distance but they did not seem to be getting closer at first... good that you made it 😎
The snowy highway was frightening...the kind of situation any rider doesn't want to live! Im happy you arrives safe home. Thank you for the whole show.✌️👍
Congrats Marc, you did really well staying upright in that snow, and you were spot on with your decision to find accommodation for the night. I was a bit ( a lot ) worried when you were alongside the trucks because you were in their blind spot s few times. Just a tip from an old truck driver,you may already know this one. If you can’t see the driver in “HIS” mirror then your in his blind spot and he can’t see you . Look forward to your next video “thanks”🤙
Yeah thanks for the tip, didn’t know that one🤗 I’m happy to see the new trucks have cameras instead of mirrors, maybe they help a bit more. Thank you for watching 🤙🏼
Two thumbs up for your courage and perseverance! I was several times in such a snowstorm on the autobahn, but that was on 4 wheels and even than it scared the shit out of me. The problem is that the rain turns into snow when you ride or drive uphill, that makes it even worse. Hats off!
What an epic adventure, I feel like we have all been on part of it with you , thanks. Yes, the Honda is going to need a lot of work, a lot of money too no doubt, then it’s ready to do it all again 😏
Glad to hear that, I accomplished my mission to bring you along🤗 yes she’ll get a lot of love now and we’ll be off on a new adventure in no time 🙌🏼 thanks for watching Brian 🤙🏼
Hey, Marc. I got caught in that storm too, but was luckily in my car. I only saw one motorcycle on the road and that was just North of Heidelberg. I'm guessing it must have been you!! Glad you made it through - it was tough going even in a car!!
Many thanks Mark, i enjoyed your videos days after days. Finaly your Dominator brought you back home old bikes are the best. Keep us advised about the cylinder head noise probably a new camchain and tensionner to be replaced. A realy like the way you treat your bike. Enjoy your family and your girlfriend. See you ✌️
Hey Marc, I just had the same problem with the speedometer on my Dominator a couple days ago. In the end it turned out the plastic gear thats picking up the rotation from the wheel hub was worn down and needed replacement. I think that's the case here as well. Stay safe!
@@MarcTravels yeah, my guess as well. Its quite common for Honda Bikes of the era that the little plastic gear breaks. But you should service the cable as well. The broken Plastic Gear is often worn out because the cable is a little to hard to rotate.
I got caught in wet snow storm on my way home from work on an Oilhead. It had a thermostat so it went to air cooled and then to liquid cooled. The engine temperature went down to startup temperature. There wasn't any piston noise . They use tight dimensional control. It was only a few kilometers, but I hugged the shoulder until I got to gravel portion.
I was exactly in this situation - at night, my setup - Super Adventure S 2020 with Karroo 3 as tire. I was on my way back to Switzerland. Its not that hard and dangerous as you may think, it was maybe just your first time, i guess. It looks like you had the right tyre and a good bike for that. Its not allowed in germany to go faster than 50 Kmh with a Bike or scooter, on snow. Keep your 30-40 Kmh, just use your rear break and stay on the right lane, and you can do that with no doubt.
Glad you made it back in one piece! Both Mother Nature and the Dominator didn't want you to have an easy end to the trip it would seem! Thanks for taking us along!
@@MarcTravels Find yourself a 1990s 750 Africa Twin. I did three England to Portugal trips on one, one year taking in Holland on the way back. They are great bikes.
Cold video. Glad you all right came out of work one night there's 3 inches of snow on the bike riding when it's that slippery is a real skill still snowing in upstate New York good luck with the rebuild. Cheers
God Bless you Marc, great ride with you. Very dangerous around those lorry wheels but you got to Dad’s safe with more great memories under your belt. Poor old Dommy needs surgery soon hopefully that’s going to go well
man, you are the king …what have you been through, I'm going through the cold and driving and everything else with you...💪💪💪💪bravo Mark …you are hero …Honda❤❤❤
I ended up in a blizzard over a remote 2 lane mountain road, my buddy and I rode slow and easy for 15 miles, terrifying and a great experience. Be both kept the bikes up by miracle. Good job buddy, you did great! Ride safe!
Hey Marc I am so happy to see that the Honda got you home!!!! Awesome luck for you! keep us posted if you ever dive into the engine to see what is really wrong with it...
I've loved your posts, I watch in the early morning from the comfort of my sofa eating toast and drinking coffee. I'm sure all of us watching would love to see a strip down of the engine 👍👍👍
Hey Marc. Glad you made it home safe. That snowstorm really was hectic. So now to fix the bike and plan for the next trip!!! Regards. Dewet. South Africa.
Hallo Marc, was für eine wahnsinns Leistung! Du bist echt Hardcore und hast meine Bewunderung. Vorallem kannst du dich selbst gut einschätzen. Deinen Kanal habe ich abonniert und jede Folge deiner Reise angeschaut. Jetzt gucke ich mir noch deine älteren Videos an. Wünsche dir allzeit gute Fahrt und bleib gesund! LG utor
A real adventure ending.looking forward to watch you and the Honda again soon.remember the hardship makes a lot more interesting video and a much more interesting man.happy to see you made it.good luck going forward.Henry from denmark.
Thanks marc for a fantastic adventure i have enjoyed riding with you that was scary on the autobahn, but you made it home and so did the sick honda what a bike, looking forward to the next one. Stay safe my friend and i will see you soon 👍 all the best mick England 🇬🇧
Hey it’s good that you put this out. I see a lot of people have given you some great advice. I would only add that you were vulnerable in many ways. Although you can’t remove all risk, you should aim to remove as many vulnerabilities as possible. Checking the weather forecast is one. 👍
cracking video marc really enjoyed it i ride a honda crf250l hondas are lovely machines and the dominator is a legend thank you so much for sharing marc cheers
I really enjoyed the realism of your journey. It looked tough and scary at times but that can be the real world of riding. I live in North West Wisconsin and can definitely relate to snow, poor riding conditions, and being cold. Glad you survived it unscathed. Take care!
Geile Tour, geil vermittelt im Video. Weiter so! Und genau deswegen fahr ich auch Honda. Auch wenn es ihr nicht gut geht, bringt sie dich immer nach Hause.
Hi Marc, we have a great Thing here in south Germany. It is called weather forecast. Consider use it next Time when you go for a ride in Winter. Cheers, Uwe
Y o u & the Honda finally made it 🌅💪🏻 Glad nothing happen, it really sucks: Autobahn & snowstorm, wtf 😳 … wish u a wonderfull recreation after all, a nice reunion to your sweety & a ultimate fix & General Check for this wonderful Honda ❤️ greetings from FR 🌅
@@MarcTravels thank Y O U Marc 🙏🏻 keep on going, glad to see more vids with the Honda, You & your next projects ✨ (even looking myself for AT 1000s 2016-19, and t h a t as a GS-Nerd 😂😂😂) 👋🏻✨💪🏻
Congrats to completing the journey Marc! What a scary last day. Way to keeping your cool (pun 😜) in that really scary situation. Keep up the great work. Ride safe.
Felt a little sad and happy today, glad that you have got back safely but sad because I feel an adventure has ended for me as well. Terrific vlog's and best wishes for the next adventure. Ride safe.
That noise is very distinctive it sounds like pinking pre detonation it is noticeable under load, power will be lost in worst cases, it is coming from in the cylinder it happens when the engine gets so hot in combustion chamber the fuel is ignited on the compression stroke like a diesel it is more common with air cooled engines but tends to happen if fuel mixture is to lean making it hotter.
@@MarcTravels No worries, nice bike man love to see people still riding older bikes especially single cylinders the dominator is quite the beast, I have a 98 klx 300R myself
The autobahn is one of the best roads in the world, it's known! On the other hand, it was stressful to see you in your position on the road during the storm. Glad it ended successfully Marc. Good thing you got home. You really need to take care of the motorcycle, yes maintenance is part of our riding.Germany, wow what a powerful country !!
Hehe danke. Den Sturm hatte ich nicht unbedingt gebraucht aber bin froh dass ich es durchgehalten hab und auch nich hingefallen bin🤗 danke fürs anschauen 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels , ein Abo ist dir sicher. Noch was: gib die Domi nicht auf. Sie ist ein dankbares Moped ( das sage ich nicht nur weil ich für den Verein arbeite, Zwinker).
The last thing you want to happen when you’re on the German Autobahn with no speed limit and hundreds of big trucks left and right of you! A freaking SNOWSTORM! Have you ever been in a situation like that? What would you have done? Let me know guys
I would have pulled over and took cover which I did many times. Be safe.
Stopped and took cover. I rode these roads many times in my days! Be safe. Cheers
I have been in this situation but not with high traffic and intense snow like that.😳 Your helmet starts fogging, sticking snow to your visor. Horrible.

Okay thanks for the advice mate 🤙🏼
I thought the same...
Ride safe!
I so agree with this. It was snowstorm for me but heavy rain thunderstorm and a truck once almost swoosh me because of the water from the tires!
Yeah, did a double take seeing that. Most dangerous part of the trip. 😊
Don't even be near 'em. The quality of semi-truck drivers has gone down, at least in America, over the last decade. They just jump out into traffic and cut people off willie nillie. They're fast becoming a hazard.
Can't even imagine...on a motorcycle, in the dark, in the snow....ON THE AUTOBAHN. Glad you're safe, Marc! You've got a story to tell now, for sure!
Yes and I can even show it to my grand children one day 🤗🙌🏼 thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Massive balls doing this. Super grateful you documented this for us. As an avid rider for over a decade I have a lot of respect to you on this.
Thanks man, i was shitting my pants 😅 glad it’s all good on the end🙌🏼 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Honest truth riding in snow is not even that hard the bike dousnt lose all of its traction just dont tense up its mostly a mental thing
Congratulations on making it safely back home. I rode every kilometer with you, so thank your for taking me along. You're a tough guy and that Honda is even tougher! Looking forward to your next adventure. Drop me a line if you are in the area of Mannheim-Heidelberg!

Yes we’ll be back on the road right after the Honda is fixed 🙌🏼 cheers mate 🤙🏼
God Bless you Marc, great ride with you. Very dangerous around those lorry wheels but you got to Dad’s safe with more great memories under your belt.

I ended up in a blizzard over a remote 2 lane mountain road, my buddy and I rode slow and easy for 15 miles, terrifying and a great experience. Be both kept the bikes up by miracle.

Thanks marc for a fantastic adventure i have enjoyed riding with you that was scary on the autobahn, but you made it home and so did the sick honda what a bike, looking forward to the next one. Stay safe my friend and i will see you soon 👍 all the best mick England 🇬🇧
Yes will see you soon in the next video 🤗 thanks Mick 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels your welcome my friend 👍👍
Hey it’s good that you put this out. I see a lot of people have given you some great advice. I would only add that you were vulnerable in many ways. Although you can’t remove all risk, you should aim to remove as many vulnerabilities as possible. Checking the weather forecast is one. 👍
Hi Marc- You are such a brave rider, to ride in really bad conditions- I salute you.
Thanks Malcom 🤙🏼
cracking video marc really enjoyed it i ride a honda crf250l hondas are lovely machines and the dominator is a legend thank you so much for sharing marc cheers
Thanks for watching mate🤙🏼
I really enjoyed the realism of your journey. It looked tough and scary at times but that can be the real world of riding. I live in North West Wisconsin and can definitely relate to snow, poor riding conditions, and being cold. Glad you survived it unscathed. Take care!
Thanks for watching mate🤗🤙🏼
Geile Tour, geil vermittelt im Video. Weiter so! Und genau deswegen fahr ich auch Honda. Auch wenn es ihr nicht gut geht, bringt sie dich immer nach Hause.
Ja das stimmt, großartiges Motorrad 🤗 danke fürs anschauen 🤙🏼
Hi Marc, we have a great Thing here in south Germany. It is called weather forecast. Consider use it next Time when you go for a ride in Winter. Cheers, Uwe
Alright thanks for the tip mate👍🏼 cheers🤙🏼
Y o u & the Honda finally made it 🌅💪🏻
Glad nothing happen, it really sucks: Autobahn & snowstorm, wtf 😳 … wish u a wonderfull recreation after all, a nice reunion to your sweety & a ultimate fix & General Check for this wonderful Honda ❤️ greetings from FR 🌅
Yes she’ll be taken care off 🤗 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels thank Y O U Marc 🙏🏻 keep on going, glad to see more vids with the Honda, You & your next projects ✨ (even looking myself for AT 1000s 2016-19, and t h a t as a GS-Nerd 😂😂😂) 👋🏻✨💪🏻
Congrats to completing the journey Marc! What a scary last day. Way to keeping your cool (pun 😜) in that really scary situation. Keep up the great work. Ride safe.
Thanks for watching my friend 🤙🏼
Felt a little sad and happy today, glad that you have got back safely but sad because I feel an adventure has ended for me as well. Terrific vlog's and best wishes for the next adventure. Ride safe.
Thanks mate, I’d be happy to have you around on the next one here on TH-cam 🤗🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels I will be there.
Well done bud.... quite a journey.
Yes true, great adventure really 🤗
Wow well done, glad you made it back in one piece.
Thanks for watching Mark 🤙🏼
Congratulations for this incredible road trip...
With a yougtimer motorcycle..
Looking forward to see yours next adventures.
Thanks Francois. Next adventure starting soon after I get the bike fixed 🤗🤙🏼
Bravo, belle aventure ! La vieille Honda t'a ramené à la maison ! A bientôt pour te suivre dans une autre aventure !
Yes see you soon on the next adventure 🤗🤙🏼
This was really dangerous. Waiting for the next and the last one. Keep going.
Will do mate 💪🏼
Well done. It amazes me how fast people in cars still drive so fast in those conditions. 🇬🇧
Yeah it’s crazy. Not the best experience really 😱
That noise is very distinctive it sounds like pinking pre detonation it is noticeable under load, power will be lost in worst cases, it is coming from in the cylinder it happens when the engine gets so hot in combustion chamber the fuel is ignited on the compression stroke like a diesel it is more common with air cooled engines but tends to happen if fuel mixture is to lean making it hotter.
Okay thanks mate 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels No worries, nice bike man love to see people still riding older bikes especially single cylinders the dominator is quite the beast, I have a 98 klx 300R myself
Oh man, I was on the edge of my seat watching! So glad you made it safely. I'm sure the Honda will get some TLC now.
Yes she’ll get some proper treatment back in Berlin 🤙🏼
The autobahn is one of the best roads in the world, it's known! On the other hand, it was stressful to see you in your position on the road during the storm. Glad it ended successfully Marc. Good thing you got home. You really need to take care of the motorcycle, yes maintenance is part of our riding.Germany, wow what a powerful country !!
What a ride 😱😅 thanks for watching mate 🤙🏼
Du bist ja völlig wahnsinnig! Respekt, Lob und Anerkennung. Alles gute für dich.
Hehe danke. Den Sturm hatte ich nicht unbedingt gebraucht aber bin froh dass ich es durchgehalten hab und auch nich hingefallen bin🤗 danke fürs anschauen 🤙🏼
@@MarcTravels , ein Abo ist dir sicher.
Noch was: gib die Domi nicht auf. Sie ist ein dankbares Moped ( das sage ich nicht nur weil ich für den Verein arbeite, Zwinker).
@@ratzman2229 ja auf jeden Fall wird sie repariert und dann geht es weiter 🤙🏼
