The drone over the church is amazing
Thanks so much, was such a stunning place to record.
That drone shot of the church and the steps leading up to it was Lush dude 🤘
Thanks, what an amazing place that was, I’ve not seen anything quite like that building before and all the levels going up to it
@@ontheroadadventure enjoying your series guys, me and the Mrs are itching to get out there 🤘 ride safe 👊
Get on the ferry bud and find the sunshine! 🌞
Wow that church ❤❤❤❤
@@momo-go4pl Epic place isn’t it
I can't remember enjoying an adventure on You Tube more than what you guys are uploading presently. I am looking for updates daily to see if you have added another episode. Amazing work, amazing scenery and you capture everything, not just the good points but the trials and obstacles you over come. Your an amazing team and very down to earth. True bikers reporting on biking issues and showing amazing places in the process. Brilliant. If you do come to Scotland i'll buy you breakfast but it has to be a Full Scottish....haggis and tattie scones etc 😃😃
Wow. Honestly we are so humbled by comments like this. Thank you so much
Once again Richard your drone footage of the Church was fantastic and combined with a lovely bit of music it really touched my heart ❤️
Well done and keep up the terrific work you and Eva are doing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘
Wow thanks les What a comment 🫡
The more you camp the better it gets, weather permitting of course. Really entertaining little films.
Thanks Mike, we are getting the hang of it now… but we can’t wait to share what happens!!
Excellent drone work🏍️💨💨👍
Thanks Nikki, I do love that drone ☺️
What a lovely video, we have just come back from Madeira portugal after 15 years there. i really miss it. When i saw you in pingo Dose supermarket i really envy you.
Portugal has been our favourite place to visit so far
Great stuff, I am enjoying tagging along with you 2, stay safe,
Pleased to have you along bud 👍⛺️⛺️
Stunning video well done
Thanks so much, we enjoy making them and look forward to sharing them with you all so much
Wow, very nice drone footage. Really impressive. Your channel is by far the best there is. Entertaining A+
So many amazing comments, we are so humbled and grateful to you all for joining us for a ride and laugh
😀😀😀That is a new way to wake up😀😀😀😀😀📯📯📯📯Could only imagine it ...
The drone footage was amazing thanks for showing it...
At the end of those steps to the church, its a long way up would take one a decent time just to walk up those stairs. The church effect is almost a castle effect. The structure of it that words cant explain.....
After the ride to the camp site would have expected more trees.... maybe a river in it or a stream.....
Imagine the effort to build a church or any structure like that, religious or not you must appreciate these places
Glad you're getting the hang of the camping folks. That route through Portugal looks great too.
We are having a epic time in many ways, we can’t wait to share with you what’s happening 😃⛺️
Amazing drone views! Love you guys, best channel on TH-cam 👍🏻
Wow thank you so much 😊
Nice for you guys, finally enjoying the camping and weather
There are times when we really are enjoying the motorcycle camping, usually when sat outside and the sun is warming our faces!
Absolutely loving the content you are both putting out. It really feels like we are coming along with you on your adventures and living every moment - thank you both!
Your very welcome, we also feel like we are gaining real friends via the screen... Its a strange thing, but we love sharing it with you all and chatting
Brilliant
Cheers John 👌
Great video and isn't life on a bike so more pleasant when the sun's out , loving the drone shots especially of the churches going up all those steps
Hey Debbie, yes us bikers just live for days like this!
Thanks for taking us along with you on this trip, really enjoying it.
We are made up that you all enjoy our company and sharing what we get up too. Life is good 😊
Really enjoyed your trip thanks for taking us along ❤❤
Thanks for coming along with us! We love having you 👍
It's great to see the rocky start to your trip has not dented your enthusiasm for cracking on with it 👍
No we are stubborn buggers, we gotta see what the whole trip has in store for us….
Scrumping 🍋👍🏻
Yes! Ewas a country girl so she’s a pro at it 😂
WOW what a drone photo ........ that's amazing and love it. I have a HD Pan America Special and I have to go there this summer from Norway where I live 👍
Trip of a lifetime this one bud, highly recommend
You guys are awesome… really enjoy watching your adventures.. 👍🏻👍🏻❣️
Thanks so much for joining us, we love to share our jouneys and laughs with you all. Thanks for coming along!
Great to see you being very positive and having a good time. Looks to be a lovely area to travel so looking forward to the next one.
Cheers Mike, Portugal is just amazing
Thanks once again for taking us on your travels - glad you are enjoying yourselves and hope you are liking the chairs ?
Yes these Oxford Chairs are great, wouldn’t be without them now.
It's good to know that things are working out better now for you guys, the sun is shining 😎 great roads, who could want more? Maybe Gin & tonic to go with that lemon? Awesome drone footage, loved that! stay safe 😘
Can you tell Rich is excited about the sunshine vibes?! Loving life here now 😊
Having done Spain, Portugal & France camping on the motorcycle, May to June is the best time. Hot but not boiling if in a tent. Definitely sticking to the A roads is best.
This late May, six weeks camping again in the EU but further eastwards.
Sounds like you been doing the moto camping for a while, This is our first tour out of the hotels and we really seem to be getting on with it now, good weather is key
I agree with previous comment, the drone shots were spectacular, safe journeys both 👍
Thanks so much, Glad you are enjoying the series
We are lucky enough to have an apartment in a place called Sao Martinho Do Porto an hour north of Lisbon on the Silver Coast. Portugal is the best kept biking secret in Europe. Great roads, amazing coastline, and (mainly) sensible drivers on quiet roads. Last month me and two mates flew into Lisbon and hired Tracer 7 GT's for 5 days. Rode up to our place and had a series of outstanding ride outs every day. Flying and hiring is a great alternative to the expensive ferry. Flights and bike hire was still about £300 less per person than the ferry, fuel and stop off accommodation would have been. Great series so far, subscribed!
Wow your a lucky man to have a place there Dave, we have visited allot of Europe now and Portugal has been our favourite place to go by far. We can’t wait to go back again.
We did fly and hire in Sicily a couple years ago, we left the uk in January in the sleet and rain and a couple hours later we were in the sunshine! Awesome
Hi Guys great vid Portugal is shaping up to be something
Special ride safe guys
Sure is! We have so much to share with you all
I always take some 6 inch nails and use them to make a hole for the tent pegs in hard ground.
I'm enjoying seeing your obvious enjoyment of Portugal. The same kind of reactions we had when first riding there in the 80's.
Good tip for the nail. We are going to get a selection of tent pegs, hopefully fluorescent ones with bells on to perhaps reduce the amount of times we trip on them things 😂
fab stuff both love it
What a place hey?
We stayed in a hotel just below the church with all the steps. At night it’s all lit up with coloured lights and very beautiful. It was grape harvesting time and every other van or pick up was full up with grapes going to be pressed.
Wow I’d like to see that, we will definitely be going back to Portugal for more
Another great video, we used to call it scrumping. Warmer climes happy days I think you are beginning to get get a real penchant for this camping malarkey.
When the going is good and the sun is shining Moto camping is great, but like all things rain and cold ruins everything
Another brilliant video 👍😊🏍️❤️
I’m here in July on my speed triple, can’t wait,
Ride safe guys 👍😊
You are going to love it! Keep watching the highlight of the trip and must see is at the end of the road in Faro 👍
Fudge you got that drone bloody close to cross and thingummy bobs. But the footage was gobsmacking. Well done. Wow. Loving yr stuff. The roads you've chosen off the beaten track are spot on😊
Thanks Dave, I do like to take a gamble with the drone sometimes… I’m sure il push my luck too far soon 🤣
Enjoying your trip, great videos. Three of us rode to the Algarve and back last August from Caen avoiding motorways and it was brilliant, roads were great and next to no traffic, We crossed the N2 near Evora . Could have done with more time to explore. Temperature reached 43 degrees C crossing Spain. High twenties is my favourite riding temperature to enjoy some stunning roads. Have fun.
Wow 43 must have been melting! Hope you had mesh gear on. We reckon we could spend the whole month in Portugal and still not have enough time. In fairness, I’m ready to move there!!
The best is yet to come. Awesome video! 👍👍
Yes! 👌
I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t get a satnav mount on straight 🤣🤣 Loving the trip. I’m wild camping in Scandinavia this summer with my wonky satnav 😁✌🏻🇬🇧
lol I even know it’s wonky, has been for ages and I still done nothing about it 😂😂
When you said you were starting to feel a bit bad I thought it was because you stole a lemon 😂
That guilt soon passed 😅
👍
Hey man 🫡
Stunning church there
Imagine the work to build that… amazing
@@ontheroadadventure imagine walking up and back every day
You’d be fit at least!
I do love Ewa…”I’ve bought you I think a chicken sandwich” lol
She’s a good girl ☺️
What a gorgeous countryside your drone work was brilliant. I'm really enjoying your videos keep up the good work! Alan Northern Ireland. 👍
Thanks so much Alan, the drone is a great tool 👍 Such a beautiful country Portugal, and varied too. One road, the N2 will show you so much and the End point at Faro moto clube is the highlight, what a rewarding place to ride
Guys you must go to Vila de Gois near to Coimbra. It’s an amazing village with good food , nice wines and bees and very quiet place
We will mark it on our map if we are not past it yet, no problem if so, we will be coming back to Portugal for sure
On the road , I can't get enough of your content, so I subscribed!
Amazing, thanks for joining us on the road! Glad you are with us ☺️
Wow, magnificent stairways to the church. Similar to the Bahai Gardans stairway in Haifa (Israel).
This is Peugeot 404 at min 12:15. A workhorse from the 70's.
Cars are not my thing but this thing is so cool! What a bloke to look after it like that and keep it so nice 👌
Always better staying off the motorways etc you can then get a feel of the place 😎
Absolutely 💯
What a road! Take me to Portugal! Looks so hot
Stunning place to ride, the people are nice, everything is cheaper than the uk and of course the sunshine is enough to cheer even the grumpiest of bikers up!
Yes you have invested in some good gear there which will last you a long time,I like tha cook system you got,what is it ? Na FairPlay guys you’re on the road. 👏🏴✊KTF.
The kit has made a big difference, money well spent. We do wonder though if a smaller tent would be warmer in cold nights?
Great tour, we religiously won’t do motorways on our European tours, too many great roads and views. As you have a camping stove just boil water and take hot water bottles, take up no room and lasts all night.
Yes we may well take some hot bot’s the next time we go moto camping, the hand warmers are better than nothing but don’t last very long
@@ontheroadadventure those are a great idea. Portugal is looking stunning, a place I never really thought much of but seeing your tour it’s deffo on the list 👍🏻
We can’t recommend it enough! You’ll see soon there’s so much more to see
Amazing drone footage
Top video of the spring time
Well done guys
Gives all us bikers a lift!
That’s amazing, thanks. We spend our whole time watching TH-cam videos of others Moto adventures and so it’s nice to put back in the pot
Another great video guys the N2 and Portugal are great. I stayed in Hotels when I did it in 2020 but now I have started moto camping. It would be good if at some point you would recommend the good Campsites on your trip! Safe travels really enjoy the videos. Not sure where you are atm.
The A397 from Rhonda to Marbella is not to be missed!
Hi Rob thanks, when we have finished the tour we will review places we went and tell you what’s campsite and what’s camp shite 👍
Awesome drone footage Rich I’m really enjoying watching this thank you both and keep safe 👍
Thanks bud, glad you’re with us, we get so excited to share these videos with you all
Great show guys, very much enjoyed it. Safe travels
Thanks Bill, Portugal is stunning!
Impressed by the drone footage 👏 glad your day was amazing with no hassle. You deserve it after rain and bumped motorbike. Really enjoyed this trip so far. Thanks for sharing it on TH-cam 😃👍
Thanks so much for joining us, it a so nice that people enjoy having 20 mins with us for a laugh and a ride on the bikes. We really appreciate your comments 🫡
I see where I made my mistake in thinking that one of your opening shots was of a church in Braga. The shot of the magnificent terracing leading up to the church in Lamego is very similar to the one in Braga. Perhaps it’s a common feature in Portugal, though I can’t begin to think of the cost involved in these projects? Anyhow you’ve got me interested in trying out the N2 sometime. I’ve stayed in Chaves a few times and I’ve biked Portugal north to south, but never simply stuck to the N2. Great video again incidentally!
Hey thanks Geoff, we have hit the age of enjoying an impressive church it seems 🤣 What an amazing building though. The N2 has been a real treat for us, take your time and make many stops along the way, it’s a joy to ride and explore
Great series guys,lovely roads ,views,weather, superb overhead footage. Worst thing about camping is waking up in the morning & packing away. My hat is already by the side of me,well done guys love it.👏🏴✊KTF.
We are not very good at getting packed up and away very early especially when it’s cold! We are thinking that staying multiple nights at a place is the way to go and explore the area your in before moving on again
@@ontheroadadventure yes definitely use as a base & explore,when I went to Scotland keeping on the go was hard work,I’m 55 and you guys look a lot younger than me it’s a great adventure, but I think you will have to get a proper shower & bed & some proper rest on this trip,take care guys keep the footage coming.👏🏴✊KTF.
Yes a hot shower at proper sites is essential for us at the end of each day, wild camping is a step to far for us I reckon!
I like the film of those steps going upto the building.
What an amazing place that was, so glad we could share it with you all
Gear to see you’ve both settled into the camping routine and it can only get better the more you do it.
Stay Safe out there
When the sun is out camping is fantastic… but when it’s cold it’s not so much fun! That’s what we have learnt so far!
I watched Henry Cole in Portugal and he said that they were the best roads in Europe , must addmit the French A roads are really good
We agree with Henry, from what we have ridden all over Europe this is our favourite place yet! We have so much more to show you here too!
That day looked amazing 👍 “crocs rock” 🤦♂️😂😂😂
What can I do?! 😂 Bloody great for moto camping
Hi I am loving this series of videos from your trip. looks amazing so far and as others have mentioned, that drone footage of the steps up to the church is breath taking. Might I ask you guys to maybe give an idea of the overall cost of this trip at the end of the series. Fuel, accomadation and food etc, my friend and I are seriously considering this trip around September time
Hi thanks so much, yes we will do a summary video at the end of the series. You might like to see the one we did for the home to Rome tour aswell you’ll get some useful info and tips there that we had learnt on the tour
This is a great series of videos.
Thanks so much! Glad you are with us 🫡
Great day both, one point though, orange & coffee for breakfast, I would be on the loo every 10 miles 😂😂 stunning roads, what a beautiful country. Rich, I love it when you get so excited 😂😂😂. Eva super chef 👍👍👍👍, ride safe both, ha e fun, brilliant as usual
Hey Nigel, coffee has no effect on us anymore we abused that for too long 😂
Riding bikes in the sunshine though never gets old, it’s addictive and infectious and the more we do the more we want! I can’t help but get excited when the sun is out and I have another day with my girl and the twins… Life is good 😊
Absolutely loving it. Definitely a place to visit in the future and like it's been said cheap as chips.😜😜😜
It really is very affordable in Portugal, honestly one of our favourite places we have ever ridden
Ha loved the people watching part, puffer coats an all
Yes us too, we were sat sweating watching locals in full winter coats! Madness 😅
Great to see you’ve got the camping sussed! Eva’s research paid off. You’re even using pro terms like sleep system, cooking on a Trangia and wearing crocs! It doesn’t get better 🙂
By the end of the month we will be the motorcycle camping gurus!
Stunning footage! …
That church is just amazing isn’t it! What a effort it must have been to create that
Amazing video👏👏👏. You show well what Portugal is, great drone views. You will see a big difference between the north and south but you will love it. Really love your channel, genuine✌️. Cheers from 🇵🇹
Thanks so much, We are completely sold on Portugal, what a place… and soo much more to come! Glad you are enjoying the channel
😍✌️
Only in the bikers community is it so easy to strike up conversation with complete strangers. As for not being early people...lol I am up most mornings by 05:00 at the latest. By 11:00 I am ready for a full lunch, whereas you pair are more like Freddie Dobbs...he's early if he's on the road before noon!
Nonetheless, some fabulous scenery and it certainly whets the appetite to get out on my bike...
Stay safe.
Yes bikers all round the world are friends you haven’t met yet 👍
We wish we could do early starts but also on the other hand I have been on group tours with the scripted feet up at 9am and I hate the feeling of rushing the morning and not enjoying sitting and having a coffee and relaxing before heading off out.
Totally agree…..the reason Freddie is a late starter is that he takes ages to decide what to wear; must look ‘cool’!😎
@@neilurquhart8622 There’s only man in the world that can rock that Native American shirt
Looks like you are really settling into this moto camping malarky. My son used to visit Portugal a couple of times a year to cycle with a group of friends. He said that food and drink in shops / supermarkets is incredibly cheap, sounds like the camping costs are equally low.... N2 is already on my bucket list... and moving closer to the top.
Hey Neil, yes when you’re not shivering cold moto camping is enjoyable. Portugals N2 is a road I will now be recommending to every biker, it really is very good. Yes prices are very cheap too. Get yourself on the ferry and to the sunshine 🌞
@@ontheroadadventure I don't mind it chilly. I was in Dorset on Wednesday night on an overnighter. 3 season sleeping bag, Sea to Summit Reactor liner, a long sleeved top and a pair of socks and I was well toasty. But I'm used to camping up North where it can be cold in the middle of summer. The roads and the scenery on the N2 look amazing.
I just looked up that fleece liner, il be getting me one of them!
@@ontheroadadventure I always use a thin liner in my sleeping bag. I have the Reactor to add a bit of warmth when needed and an even thicker Snugpak liner JIC I was ever stupid enough to camp in winter.
@@neilmackinnon3371 I will see what I can find in decathlon later. We just had the most epic thunderstorm in the tent! Very exciting 😁
Love the Drone shots in your videos. I haven't used my Drone yet. Do you use an App to see where you can fly? Or just fly and hope? Thanks.
Thanks so much, Mine has systems inbuilt, it won’t even take off in areas you’re not allowed to fly in.
Glad you found the sun,here in mid France its still a bit unsettled but the prospect is, its getting better😍
We want to stay in Portugal, The sunshine makes everything better
Hi, loving the tour. What’s the name of the solar panel and power bank you mentioned?
Hi this the all powers S200 we will do review videos of our kit at the end of this tour for you 👍
This is why we travel.
You have found your what i call, ' road rhythm. ' It's different for everyone, but it's important to find it. That's when everything comes together.
Good watch 👍
Ride safe 👍.
You are so right, it often takes a few days to get into a new tour, getting into the problem solving habit without allowing it to be stressful and enjoying the challenges you encounter is what makes an adventure. We love to discover new places, people and food and Portugal is not disappointing us
Yes, that and different riding styles is why group riding has never appealed to me. However, I could probably do a group ride where you're just given the destination hotel with a suggested route and you're left to your own devices - it's nice to meet up and chat in the evening.
@@mrcintheuk4641 Agree. If I organise abd run a trip now, that's how I arrange it. Breakfast and dinner together. Suggest a route or two, but everyone is free to make their own choices. Discuss the day and our choices over a beer later.
We found someone interesting to talk to at most camp sites, we like to find out what others are up to on their travels too
I figure on a group tour one of two things are always happening. Either I’m waiting on someone or someone is waiting on me…. I’d hate that feeling
Welcome to my country and we glad you guys liked it!😀
The fish that was on pallets in the supermarket is dried and salted cod (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dried_and_salted_cod) and is a culturally and historically important food ingredient here in Portugal. Even in most Portuguese homes, the main dish on Christmas Eve is Cod cooked with potatoes and cabbage drizzled with olive oil! 🤤
Cheers
Thanks, Ewa likes the sound of your Christmas dinner but Rich is staying home for roast turkey 😂
top video.... must be missing those pasties though
And Proper crumbly cheddar cheese! How is proper cheese not a thing all round the world?!
When life gives you lemons, make sherry! Wait, that’s not quite right….ok, when life gives you lemons, put a slice in your sherry….
Good advice sir 🫡
Can you please remind me of the make/model of the mini air inflator you use for you air beds?

Wow, so positive today mate! What happened to mr grumpy mate?
🤣🤣🤣 Sunshine and twisties does that to a man!
Guys please do some research.
If you had bought a Vango Galaxy tent
That's just for starters.
Please do better research for happier camping x
Why is that that tent better than what we have? I have to say we have no complaints on our kit other than being a little cold at night, perhaps a smaller tent would warm a bit more with body heat but we went for extra space and comfort. We will likely try out other tents though, we suspect tents are like bikes, one is never enough!
Your a magnet for those old Honda transalps
Hope this fella has more luck than the guy we met on the ferry
I was travelling through the French German border and had to get fuel,, fortunately the guy spoke German and I a little enough to understand,
filled up ..then some body asked me in French how to do the same I actually spoke fluent French back at him and he checked my no plate to checkthat I was ENGLISH !
Awesome, I wish I knew more French it’s a popular language known in allot of countries
Any suggestions for bike maintenance on a road trip like this? Are you doing anything new for chain lubrication and cleaning, for example?
Rubber gloves & chain lube just takes a few minutes with a centre stand. Ive been touring for years and it’s no problem. If the weather is dry, once every 500 miles will do.
Yes, so I always service the bikes before a trip like this. Oils, filters etc, lubricate all your cables and deep clean the bikes. I recommend the clean because you’ll be up close and hands on with the bike for a few hours and you’ll likely find any developing problems, loose nuts etc. Check your chain and tyres and be sure they are in good nick. I replaced my chain before this trip. You will need to clean and lube and adjust your chain on a long trip like this, carry the tools to do it with you and small cans of cleaner or lube if you have space if not you’ll buy it on the road. I think in the upcoming episode we do just this…
what your setup for the video log? i see you have the cji microphone!
Yes DJI mics
I would be interested if you could share the setup or a 5 minute video on your helmet setup. How do you hold the camera and where do you put the microphone
If i may ask, how’s that GPS working out for ya? Im looking for an good GPS system and didnt find one yet
Upto now it’s worked well but in Spain and Portugal it doesn’t seem to be very accurate, we updated them here for this reason but Google maps seems to be best here
did youhave to book the camp sie ?cos when I camped i just waited for a Municipal park at £10 per night !]
We stopped worrying about booking after a few nights seems just turning up this time of year is fine. What’s a municipal park?
@@ontheroadadventure municipal sites are basic , i.e. toilets and showers no frills
@@johnniel8116 ok thanks we will look at some online 👍
You can’t stay in Portugal, brexit has put a stop to that! But you can visit!
Brexit sucks 😒
Iam hoping that your camping 🏕 has full features clean bogs, etc ,u starting to in joy the journey 😊
Hey Eddie, when we look for the camp sites we are staying at we go on Google and check the reviews, this gives us the best chance but mostly they are ok… We play a game called Camp site or Camp shite? 😂
