Missing your touring adventures on Speedy! Your Triumph Speedmaster has become synonymous with your channel, much like Freddie Dobbs and his Bonneville.
Exciting start! You’re going to have a ball 😃 I’ve toured France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland solo and loved it. There’s no-one else to please other than yourself and that’s liberating. At restaurants (alone) in the evenings I used to occupy myself (between courses) by writing a diary of the day’s events. Have a great time 👍
Thanks Malc I appreciate it. That's brilliant sounds like a great tour, yes its a different experience traveling solo. I think you become more aware of your surroundings as well 👍 Quite the same, but my diary will be on youtube haha
Hello from Canary Islands Spain, this video reminded me a journey that I made From Tenerife to Bilbao, the trip on the boat last two days to get Huelva, then we started riding from Huelva to North I wish you a wonderful journey
Great video mate. Im leaving tomorrow from Ireland to Bilbao. First time ive done this, nothing booked, panicking a bit so trying to watch any video of someone that has already done it. Thanks to you im heading to Pamplona first to find camping. Thanks for uploading and happy adventures mate
Hi, thanks so much really glad you enjoyed the video 👍 I am jealous! Good luck it’s a great trip, all I recommend is bringing a hammer for tent pegs haha You will be fine, just enjoy it and have break down cover. All the best for your trip
I’m such a fan! Me and my friends saw you today vlogging! The amount of work put in these videos is incredible! Take care! Also, all my friends subscribed x
Hi, hope you all had a great day at Westonbirt today 👍 Many thanks really glad you like the content and thanks to you and all your friends for the subs. A big shout out to you. Have a great summer 😁
@@redangrevival just to say your angle on mental health is 👍 good it’s very difficult to explain all the issues involved unless your involved / suffering. Unfortunately I am in that position but having my bike helps when I can get out on it . More power to you and keep it going . :- )
@@crumblymal8479 thanks, its good to hear that other people can understand. It can be sooo confusing, but I think you must remember that a-lot of people have been and currently are going through it. You are not alone in your journey ✌️. That is exactly what motorbiking did and still does for me even when I am at my worst. I find it simplifies everything and you can just focus on riding. Keep on riding my friend, you are not alone 👍. Hang in there I know it can be hard.
Well done dude , you can’t beat getting out on a motorcycle and carving across Spain France etc etc good luck . Only just found your channel , really enjoyed it , honest straight up vlog . ❤
So cool, I am so envious, love the ferry part of my trips, always pondered about doing Northern Spain via Portsmouth/Bilbao. Bike is looking great, stay safe and enjoy.
Many thanks 👍. To be completely honest I don’t take anything at all 🥴!! I have Triumph breakdown cover and other breakdown cover for Europe and Uk. Have luckily been ok so far! I suppose I will cross that bridge when I get to it 😂.
@@redangrevival Thanks for the reply. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I have looked into buying a set of tubeless spoked rims but £2.5k is over my budget!
Sounds like the makings of an amazing trip. How was the touring screen on the A3, and how was the check in process at Portsmouth. I'm planning the same route in about three weeks time.👍
Hi Glenn, thanks yes it is incredible! A special trip. The touring screen was brilliant, especially good in the rain. Still do get some wind buffeting on my helmet but it is much better than without it!! Defiantly recommend it for motorway miles 👍 Check in at Portsmouth was very easy, as long as you have prepared in advance. Passport, proof of COVID vaccination or negative test result. Also go online and fill in the Spanish requirements for entering the country!! Very easy process if you have that done before hand. It an incredible trip, I think you will love it 👍
@@redangrevival thanks so much for the reply. Really helpful and makes me feel more confident for the trip. Glad the screen is working out - it definitely looks the part and improves the look of the bike I think 🙂
@@redangrevival May I ask your height and maybe for further thoughts of the screen? Hopefully I can get my speedmaster tomorrow and I consider to buy the windshield aswell.
@@thebusinessbuddha1278 Yes I am 5 foot 9 inches. I love the look of the screen. As for wind protection it is very good at taking wind off of my body, however I do get a little bit of buffeting around my head at higher speeds (60mph +). Overall I think it is a good screen and I prefer the bike with it. I can see over the top of the screen by a couple of inches. I hope this helps with your decision. Also enjoy your Speedmaster 👍
I’m really enjoying your videos as I’m a keen biker who loves long journeys and in fact I recently rode from England to Faro,Portugal where I live. I’m also impressed with how well you put together your videos. Which application do you use to record your Vlogs?
Hi Simon, thank you very much I really appreciate that. O wow what a great trip, I would really like to tour around Portugal some time. I have heard lots of great things but have never been myself. Thanks, I edit the video with "Final Cut Pro X", but to be completely transparent I do have a bit of professional help as well!! If you look in the description of my latest videos I have links to all of the camera/audio and filming equipment that I use. Many thanks, and all the best to you for the New Year 👍
@@redangrevival Hi there,Thank you for taking the time out to reply to my message.

“Just me in the cabin… maybe…. Possibly…..na probably is” 😂😂😂
Made me laugh
haha thanks mi son 😉 glad you are liking them. 😂 I had a moment of hope, but turned out it was just me in the end!! More vids on the way
Enjoying your videos. I ride a Triumph Bonneville T120 but am concerned about touring with tubed wheels. What do you carry for puncture repairs?
Many thanks 👍. To be completely honest I don’t take anything at all 🥴!! I have Triumph breakdown cover and other breakdown cover for Europe and Uk. Have luckily been ok so far! I suppose I will cross that bridge when I get to it 😂.
@@redangrevival Thanks for the reply. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I have looked into buying a set of tubeless spoked rims but £2.5k is over my budget!
I’m baffled at who filmed those shots of the ferry?! Did you have a drone?
Hi Victor, haha no I just had my iphone gimbal!! Superior camera work I suppose 😉 Cheers

I was wondering how did you cope with the small gas tank of the speedmaster in your long distance tour?
