Your vids simply help melt some of the stress of life away, That's why I keep watching. I'm sure the rest of your audience would agree. I must add: that is one classy and modern paddle boat, complete with phone cradle and cupholders.
So glad to hear it Gerald!🙂 I’m glad you noticed this as I was also amazed at the phone holders too!📱
Wow, I thought I was the only one. When I'm stressed, videos really help me too. It's like watching a dream world where the only thing that matters is the passion for biking.
You two make amazing videos. Your talents compliment each other. Lithuania looks beautiful. Thanks for posting yet another superb video..... already looking forward to the next one. All the best from the UK. 👍
Thank you so much Paul, really appreciate it🙂🙌🏻
Such a fantastic video Freddie! Not only have you and Monika convinced me to visit Lithuania but you are on your way to winning me over on the Scram. I can only hope it comes to the States very soon.
Really appreciate it, thank you!🙂
The Scram would be great fun in the States with all of the stunning open scenery and off road tracks you have out there!🇺🇸
Thank you for showing how beautiful Lithuania is. It has been really enlightening and interesting. I must admit I know nothing about motorbikes but love the travel videos. I just find it so fascinating and I love the little historic commentaries you give. Although after watching all your videos I'm going to be a motorbike enthusiast in no time 🤣
Okay for sure Lithuania is on my list now of countries I want to visit. :) Great content, beautiful watch that ttt btw. Keep it up ;)
Thanks Tom!🙂🙌🏻
@@FreddieDobbs one question tho. That satnav system on the RE Meteor 350 is that also available on other brands or only on RE models? Still in doubt if I buy a RE Meteor or the Bonneville T100 :)
Absolutely loving the content and quality of the production, keep it up. I bought a himmy last year and am loving it. RE are really on to some winners these recent years.
I’m hoping to get a himmy out for a day off roading in Lithuania if all goes well! This is so true; every new bike RE launch is an absolute winner!
Love the content…as always. Would love to know your story 😊. How you started this TH-cam journey, what do you do for a living (and how are you on such a loooooong holidays in Lithuania?!😂) as in WFH apart from creating YT content ?
@@ajitnair2555 he’s done a couple of Q and A videos that cover all this
A very nice area ! Queen Monika and King Freddie, you left the 🏰 but still have the throne of stunning ballads 😊
Cheers from Algiers.
Another outstanding video guys, Wow what a stunning location, if i ever leave Asia this is now on my bucket list of places to visit
Thanks so much Dave!🙂
Really enjoying your Lithuanian adventures. Definitely always listen to Monica!
You are from a beautiful country Monika...i am surprised you werent all in to see the castle Freddy considering your love of history but glad to see your loving it after all..lol...was that a hint hint Monika about the wedding?..LOL...another..as always..an outstanding video..Thanks for sharing...
Really glad you enjoyed it Kevin. And rest assured I have to hear from Monika on a daily basis how great Lithuania is!😆🇱🇹
Possibly a hint, possibly👰♀️
@@FreddieDobbs LOL...she is very tolerant of your obsessions my friend...and thats hard to find..just saying...😆
Good choice Monica , lovely video well filmed and very interesting 👍
Freddie what on earth were you thinking when you know Monica makes perfect choices and instinctively knows quality and the best place to go ,this being a prime example 😆what a place fantastic .👌👍
I genuinely thought it may’ve at least been a close contest!😆
Nice one Freddie and Monika, stunning location......
Omg I’m loving this vid so peaceful so beautiful what a wonderful country to visit keep them coming Freddie 😎👍
I was in that same restaurant and spot as you last January :)
In summer it can get hot enough to bath in Trakkai lake, which is very nice too
I need to go there, what a fabulous country.
Fantastic location. I liked the subtle hint from Monica "what a lovely place for a wedding" 😂
Seems it fell on deaf ears though!
Excellent both you and Monica should be signed up by the Lithuanian tourist board. Fabulous video and such a stunning place
You guys really make awesome videos. Keep up the fantastic work.
What a beautiful place. Great video
You guys are the most charming couple on TH-cam, grat video, great landscape... A real joy to watch, and great watch BDW.
This is beautiful cinematography
Wow,looks like a really nice place👀
Hope soon we'll congratulate you reaching 1st Million subscribers 🎯🥇🙂💐
Both of you deserve it 👏
Hi , what can one say , thanks Monika for the trip and glad to see Freddie enjoyed it to . A Magic place , nice watch , you both capture these places so well .Have fun in the sun .😀
Really glad you enjoyed it- we caught Trakai on a glorious day!😍
Amazing Video,
Lithuania is really beautiful,
Hope to visit one day...
One the sidelines RE Hunter is going to be revealed on 7th August, 2022..
The Hunter… I cannot wait!!😃
Thank you Sagnik
Freddie why not lock your helmet on the bike when you are traveling saves carrying it around when you are visiting sites. Love you & Monica’s videos. I think I’m going to have to plan a trip to Lithuanian. Do you and Monica ever work? As you seem to permanently be on holiday lol 👍👍
ok 👌👍 Freddie, enjoy the holidays, greetings
I think 90% of people like nice bikes and cars just to bloat and feel superior; just to look good and be pretentious. But there is 10% of people who actually feel passion and understanding of these machines, while keeping it casual.
Freddie is one of those 10%.
That’s extremely kind of you to say so, thank you🙂
Congrats for the watch
Nice one Freddie it always pays to keep the Ladies in our lives Happy 👍
This is very true Jim- I must remember this!
We all want to see more of Monica!!!!
D Day colours worn by all A/C involved in the D DAY Landings. Representing not imitating. A very nice touch.
Just an overly log advert for a wristwatch really.
What an amazing place is TRAKAI ISLAND CASTLE, the views are stunning and the day really topped it off for you. Well done Monika. @Freddie Dobbs
Thanks Rupert🙂
Congratulations Freddie and Monika - you have developed a great brand - travel and bikes (and watches and it seems anything else) - keep up the great work - your enthusiasm and charming style will serve you well for a future career in media - I think a TV programme like Top Gear would be great for you - and having only seen Estonia I realize I missed out in seeing Lithuania !
Great vid, well-shot, Monika: 'what a spot for a wedding...' Over to Freddie! Only downside: 6 minutes (25%+ of the film...) watch-selling before the actual content.
Dead right
Good to get your feedback- I’ll remember this, thank you Jim🙂
Lovely watch but haven't worn one for years. You do make a beautiful couple, nuf said, and beautiful videos. Lithuania is definitely on my list of places to ride too.
In my younger days I used to be a watch collector, but throughout the next twenty years I realised they were just materials that kinda did nothing, being kept by a non materialistic person.
I might have one or two from my collection, or might have none, it doesn't bother me either way.
Travel & adventure has been my main kick since & it never fails to make me feel alive.
Great vlog, yet again guys. Looks a beautiful place.
Beautifully said and brilliant to hear your insight🙂
@@FreddieDobbs
Thanks Freddie, that's appreciated.
I've said it before & it's worth saying again.
Your delivery in your vlogs is spot on & you're a natural in how you come across to your audience.
It makes enjoyable viewing.
Enjoy your remaining time in Lithuania.
Yeah, get one nice watch and be done with it. Not much point in keeping a collection.
@@fallinginthed33p
Exactly or in todays world were we have mobile phones, or should I say mega mini computers...the time is shown there if needed.
The crazy thing is, I don't even remember what I did with my watch collection. It kinda just desolved away into obscurity.
I know I didn't sell them, that's for sure.
Did I give them, I doubt it.
Who knows, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Maybe one day, someone will come across them & think they've struck gold aha.
The Freddster on top form, again.
What a stunning place to visit from Vilnius, thanks for the tip for future travels.
Lovely timepiece, but there is only one Steve Mcqueen, and therefore only one timepiece, as lovely as the other is..
And what supeb nosebag. One of the reasons travel is great, is great food to try.
Good one 👍
Happy travels 👍
Really glad you enjoyed it and I agree- the food is always one of my favourite things to experience of each new country🙂👌🏻
Super watch and am def getting more and more tempted by the Scram! Stunning location.
Just seen the Hunter 350 launch! Looks really cool
Second 33...is it Monica ?? Oh my god.. Finally I saw her..
It’s true- Monika makes an appearance!😃
Hi Freddie magic video. I love your new watch a true piece of automotive art. What's the Scram like two up looks a real fun bike . Looking forward to the next video ride and be safe. Ron from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you Ron, really glad you enjoyed it!🙂
The Scram’s pillion comfort is pretty good- not excellent, but fine for up to an hour. The Classic 350 is all day 2up comfort🙂
Try to say this 3 times quickly - "Gerą girą, geri vyrai, gerdami gyrė" ;-) (means something like - a good 'gira', good men, where praising while drinking it)
P.S. been there, done that, loved it as well.
Finally picking up a bike (Sportster) I know, I know.... After 6 years of no bike, buying a car and settling down with wife and kids.
You kicked my interest back in causing my wonderful wife to push me into getting another bike. Bless your channel sir!
Ps What gloves are they???? Love em
Ooooo the Sportster- I really, reeeeeeeally love Sportsters!❤️
What a fantastic wife you have- pushing you to get a bike- fantastic!🙂
They’re the Throttlesnake Glove Trotter gloves- my favourites👌🏻
Hi . Just wondering what difference it makes turning the watch from to ride. Is it just at a better angle to read it while riding. Great blogs. Informative and interesting. Keep it up Freddie and Monica . Graeme . Australia .
Hi Freddie, great content as ever. What's the make and model of your watch?
Thanks! It’s the REC Watches TTT Icon 1000🙂👌🏻
its not just bike....it's lady smart zero size- sexy lady....straight MAN should attract by SEXY silky LADY...NOT some big bobbers

Great video, absolutely beautiful location. Monika knows best Freddie.
“Beautiful place for a wedding”. Was Monika dropping a hint there?
For some reason, this went right over my head (it must be my selective hearing😆)
Monica we can see why your inn love lol and Freddy gorgeous guys.. love the hints lol ❤️🇿🇦🏴🤩
Nice piece of a castle , and bravo Monica for a beautiful pictures !!! :)
The bit that's built into the watch dial is the 'stator' cover, pronounced stay-tor.
Thank you- I had no idea🤯
Went ahead and got the Escape after the other video. Pretty pleased by it, finishing overall is nice, the bezel stands out especially and the twisting feature is fun and useful though I didn't notice that it was in ride mode at one point and misread the time by an hour, maybe a turning angle different to a multiple of 30° would have been a wiser choice. Drawbacks for me are no lume on the hands, whose design really was predestined for it - shame - and the water resistance of 5atm which is a bit of a joke for a watch at this price point, 10 would have been more appropriate. But that gets made up for by the exclusivity and cool-factor of the clutch plate dial. So though I wouldn't go as far to call it excellent, a solid watch for the price, especially with your discount code, thanks Freddie ;D
Edit: One thing I forgot to mention: when the crown is screwed in all the way the logo on the crown doesn't end up in a position aligned to anything but at an odd angle, another little oversight in the design.
Really brilliant owner’s insight- thank you so much for sharing this, Toby!🙂
what happened to the seeing more of the lovely Monica. we had a tantalising glimpse feeding the cats and now sat in the paddle boat plus her toes pedaling. More Monica would brighten up your Vids Freddie
Believe me Peter I do try- I filmed a lot of Monika, but she’s in charge of the editing. I will keep on trying and show her this comment🙂
Greetings from India brother
Keep up the good work both of y’all 👏🏼🤙🏼😎✌🏼👍🏼⚡️👌🏼✨
You two really are giving me some great ideas for my 2023 trip up to Lithuania from 🇨🇭, providing peaceful times prevail up in the Baltics. Thanks for all so far and especially thx to Monika for the food suggestions and their Lith. names.
What's not peaceful about the Baltics now?
The Baltics are safer than Western Europe, violent crimes are almost non-existent
Had to chuckle when I saw the Glarus licence plate ;)
You’ll love it, and a really good length trip from Switzerland!🙂🌊🏍 Lithuania really does feel incredibly clean and safe- I’m as sure as I could possibly be that you’ll have zero issues for bext year’s trip🙂🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@ihavegreeneyes14 everything is peaceful now... but who can guarantee that it still will be next summer?!!
“This bike encourages foolishness”…….you don’t need any help with that Freddie!
Lithuania is absolutely gorgeous and so are your videos!! ❤️
What a beautiful place , thank you Freddie and Monica
Looks a beautiful place.
Looking forward to more of your thoughts on the scram. Did it cope ok 2 up.
Lovely video Monica sounds very happy...Ugly watch though sorry
as normally weddings happen at the place of the bride, I believe Freddy you guys could mary in this nice place too! 😊😊
Such a wonderfull trip! So how was scram for 2 riders? How does it feel offroad? Next summer visit Latvia :))
Freddie ...what are your thoughts on the new RE Hunter 350 launched a few days back?
The truth is that those pedal boats are serious hard work 🤭
I learned this after five minutes Keith!😆🥵
Would you mind to make a review of Suzuki SV650 since it has round lamp too..
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika
Freddie - one question I've not seen you answer before - where do you buy your belts! They look like a serious bit of gear. Great videos
Thanks, this one’s from Hugo Boss, and Massimo Dutti also do very similar and equally as good ones🙂
Gorgeous beautifull lakes,stunning,scenery ,perfect day
Freddie, Monika, are you aware of Tom Boy aBit. Girl biker and Lithuanian?
Superb Freddie and Monika, as always!
Thank you John🙂
You two are lovely to watch…. This vid made me long for summer days ❤️
You look like English Cricketer Andrew Flintoff
Love you guys I guess we all do - idiosyncrasies and all .. that’s the success 😆🥰
😂Your first advertisement got mixed up with the other advertisements.
Different, peaceful, lovely. Thank you.
I don’t know if I’m on board with that watch. But dam I love that box!!
Easily the chilled bike youtuber out there
Thanks Gowtham!🙂🙌🏻
You chill me out mate. Are you doing any personal appearances in the UK?
Wow what a beautiful location! Great film guys. 😊
6 minutes trying to sell us a watch...please stop..its spoiling the flow
Quite the relaxing video, interesting and easy to watch, thanks.
New subscriber. Love the RE content. Great job, keep it up mate!
New bike Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is launching 7th August, 2022 with badass Standard Exhaust note. Eagerly waiting for your reaction and review.
Noooo way- this is news to me!🤯
Big bloody box for a watch 😆
Probably where most of the cost went, I'll bet those watches are not cheap 😳
It weighs about 5kg too- which may well put me over my baggage allowance!😆✈️
Another beautiful video guys! So beautiful there.
I know this video is about scam but what your thoughts 🤔💭 about interceptor mark 2 . If possible make a video on it . Thank you🙏 take care you both lots of love ❤
Is the mk2 the red/chrome colour option? If so- I think it’s my favourite pick🙂👌🏻
Wonderful scenery wonderful video have you guys ever considered going into tourists industry lol? Thanks for putting Lithuania on my bucket list👍🏻
Love the way you have a new watch but look at your phone for the time :)
Good vlog as usual but i noticed when monica talked about weddings freddie you quickly changed the subject lol naughty boy and on film , take care you both see you next vlog
I did this without realising- it must be a natural reaction😆
MUY BUENOS VIDEOS. QUE MARCA ES EL RELOJ?
09:38 OK did anyone notice the 2 people in the row boat, rowing the boat back wards ?..lol...its got a pointed bit for a reason...lol.
@Jonas Jonaitis Yes but a rowing boat should be rowed in one direction.🤣
Freddie’s got such a good voice for video docs and am saying that as a Scotsman 🤤🏴🌍👀🙈💙👍
Love the guy looking for his lighter in the background
Lovely everything, what else can I say!?! Oh I did do Google Earth on this one , love the homes.
I always do Google Earth searches too- standard!😆👌🏻
try some not so pocket friendly (INDIAN DISHES) ---HOT BIKE WITH HOT DISHES
Wow what a beautiful place, making me want to visit Lithuania 🇱🇹 😍
Great video - very informative and the food looks great. That bike you are riding is growing on me. BTW get some Peaceful Sleep either spray or bar from Amazon. No mosquito will come anywhere near you.
Nice! That Triumph is still my favorite of all their custom bikes, I use a photo of it as the background on my IPad!
… and Monika was right. 😁
