Oh the lessons we learn 🙂 when youve stopped 6 times in just 5 miles and realise at this rate you wont arrive until after midnight 🙂

great road, well found mate. i will put a link up on my community page. i have been looking at doing a series on great roads and it would be good if i could use some footage? i do always credit people of course. we are just back from tour, i will have a look through your other vids 🙂 happy trails

Best one yet brother!! Thanks for the shoutout, I am starting to have FOMO now. Do you manage to get on with photos as well? I know we found it hard during the rally

Very tempted to pack my bags and head off again at the weekend and wing it for a week! Rocket 3 incoming 🙂

That's a great idea. Maybe post once or twice a week at most, give yourself time to enjoy the moment and it will fire up your creative energy. They say that the plans of sailors are written in the sand at low water mark, whichever way the wind blows my friend just set your sails right and you will get there. Cheers.

Been to the Dolomites 5 times and all over Europe, just remember you are doing what thousands of bikers only dream about

I totally relate to this video..after the Covid I started riding solo and had a couple of holidays on my own. It's not always joy and sunshine, you could find really bad weather, you can have mechanical issues and everyday is different...Wednesday you feel like a lion and on Thursday you feel a bit sick,maybe you haven't slept well and a wonderful ride turns to a slow fatiguing trip with lots of yawns. And even though I thought I had a solid plan it always turned a bit into shit, lol 😁 Not knowing where to sleep is a bit stressful too, I agree. You could find a beautiful road to ride but hey, it's 7pm and you don't even know wether you'll be able to find a roof for tonight. Not the best sensation in the world. Nice vlogging Jacob, you are doing a really great vacation....but I would't venture on dirt roads alone with that bike/tyres for all the money in the world 😇😄

ahaha, you're welcome mate! I thought a hot coffee would save your cold ass up there on the mountains but hey it's summer!! An ice cream is always welcome!! Take care!

You can always get the new Himmy 450 with 40hp and you are tall enough to ride it. 😁

I'm now imagining some hilarious skits of you being rescued by the RSC...

If this is your first bike trip abroad it’s great to take your time and use it like a recon mission to see where you like and where you want to return to and spend more time in a specific location or area. There’s so much to see in Europe it’s hard to even get a glimpse of it, especially whilst also thinking about recording it and producing the footage into a video. Enjoy and savour the experience before thinking ahead to what’s next. Plenty of motorcycle vloggers record trips and edit the footage once back home, releasing it as episodes whilst they are planning or even starting their next adventure.

I'm envious of your travels.

Check out Grossglockner High Alpine road!!

Being present and enjoying the moment should be your number one priority (least that’s what I think ha), rather than vlogging. Also if you reduce the frequency of the vloggs it gives the chance to increase the quality of the content through editing (not that they haven’t been great, but hopefully you know what I mean), picking the very best bits! Keep up the great work 😊

That was fantastic. That last sequence with the theme tune was perfect mate. Good luck with the audition. Cheers.

Thanks for the compliments 🤩🤩

Are those the stock exhausts of the Interceptor? I just cannot have enough of that shound <3 I would buy an interceptor only for that <3

Glad you are slowing down and enjoying more! I live in France and never go away in family holidays! Loving watching your trip enjoy! If you’re up Saint Marlo way give me a shout! I’ve got three bikes 😳😂

I completely agree, you don't have to post every single day, it has to be a vacation not a vlogging job. Breathe,absord the scenery, ride, have fun. Vlogging comes next. Thanks so much for your videos, this year no vacations (or very minor ones I should say) for me so following your trip is cool. Glad you're enjoying my country (Italy), I'll gladly buy you another cup of coffee soon!

Superb video. I loved the footage on the bike bimbling through the lanes with that gorgeous exhaust tone.

👍👍

Please tell me your going to do some via ferratta whilst your there! ❤ looks incredible

So nice. Do you think that this Royal is good to travel for 2 persons? 145kg + luggage.

hi dude, really enjoying this video series. I have done maybe a couple of dozen european tours. the first four or so with a riding buddy, the rest solo, which is now by far my preferred option. your videos are really capturing that wide eyed wonder of doing a motorbike tour for the first time. you're doing great and learning what you like and don't like quickly, so with the caveat that all these things are subjective, these are the main things that I ended up with re approach to touring. early on I did way too much saddle time per day and not enough days off and would get cumulative fatigue that risked spoiling the trip, so now the general rule is approx 3hrs actual riding/saddle time per day, obvs not including stops. get to destination early and enjoy the evening. max 4 consecutive days before taking a day completely off the bike to relex and rest. this way I can pretty much tour indifinitely and remain fresh and alert and thoroughly enjoying it. never tour europe in july and august. may june september october are superb and massive difference in prices, traffic, tourists. also those extreme temps in south are much milder. personally I prefer to have booked accomodation before I set off every morning, that way I find i can relax and enjoy the day more knowing where I'll be that night. trying to find accomodation late in the day when fatigue is setting in just stressed me out. onwards!

Love it! Been on those roads but in the rain! So much better in the sunshine! Perfect blog mate! Keep them coming!

What scenery! an unbelievable fact is that if a precision made snooker ball was the size of Earth it wouldn't be as round and smooth

So much twisties, so much joy.

More Kale content!! 🥬

I promise i'm not going to spam comments across your videos, but i'm new and i'm catching up ;) I completely accept what you're saying about the approach to a 'thing' and the way the tiniest of variations (like the Kawasaki and it not really being the bikes fault, it's just that it wasn't the RE and you were worried about all that being ready for the trip) can change the whole dynamic. The only thing that i know for sure is that two wheels is therapy <3 Two questions though; what gloves are you using and what was the outcome of the oil on the forks?

It's a long time since i've owned a brand new bike, but when you mentioned oil it made me think - does your bike have that oil in that needs to be changed after a few hundred miles for running in?

Only just found your channel but loving your content! Its been a wonderful journey and its wncouraging to see you overcoming the hiccups along the way. Good luck with the journey!

We love Italy. Been to Venice, Rome, Sorrento, and the Adriatic side as well. Going back at the of September, hiring a camper van or motorhome, and exploring more of the Amalfi Coast. Can’t wait for that, but only 2 weeks to go until I’m on the motorcycle trip to Monte Carlo which I’m sure will be amazing!

Oberalp-Pass and Lukmanier and Maloja would get you to Stelvio (from Gotthard)

Another great video. You'll settle into your style and the length of the videos will reflect the pace of your trip. Thanks for taking the time produce to post these videos. Cheers.

The trouble with a chest mount it's a static picture all the time, whereas a chin mount every time you see something interesting you turn your head and capture the sight, also half the screen is taken up by by the tank and gauges with the chest. Chin is the way to go

Europe on RE, That's one of my biggest dream. ❤ Well shot video.🎉

what camera are you using?

A++++. Very good vlog. 40 mins is good for me. Probably don't want to go much more in length. Glad you are finding your rhythm. Some stunning scenery. There are a shed load of big mountains between the Stelvio Pass and the Dolomites. After the smorgesboard of the Dolomites if you are riding south towards Venice via Trevisio you have to ride the Passo San Boldo. Stick it in Google Maps and take a look. It is awesome. The SP635. Lake Garda is good for swimming. Was watching another YT channel yesterday of an old guy with a RE Interceptor who lives in Bulgaria. A few days ago it was 42C in the shade. I am guessing that Croatia and the Dalmation coast will be hot.

Yo. You can't change the weather dude. Rain = Liquid sunshine. Enjoy. Boa viagem. Davey.

Nice one. I really enjoyed that. Your theme tune is perfect for the channel. I enjoy listening to your reflections. I served in the Royal Navy so I can relate to how you feel about being far from home. It's only the geographical distance between you and home. In reality home exists in your thoughts the minute you walk out of the door. Don't stop the vlogging, live in the moment because that's all we ever really have. Cheers.

4:30 your walk out of that cold water was a like Daniel Craig on acid [the way you wobbled] 😅

Great trip pal, keep them coming!

I think the word “wow” is in order! I like the music in the beginning too, can you tell me what it is please? I’m enjoying your journey. Thanks for sharing it and best of luck with everything.👍

Keep going mate , remember acceptance is half way to contentment 😎😎😎

Great video, I really like the vibe. I'm a bit late to the party obviously but I used the Archies camping app when I was over doing what you are doing. Nine times out of ten it would work. It throws up the occasional false lead for a campsite but we found some real gems of places through it. Also, I too am a major over-packer of a bike. I now have a list of things I took but never needed. Next time I will be going a lot lighter. Looking forward to the rest of the videos. edited to add: As Spike Milligan once said, 'If you don't have a plan, it can't go wrong.'

The Stelvio is very famous pass that is been used in 'giro de Italia' cycling tour, also there is Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 and 1000 models and few bicycles with that name too.. And an Alpha Romeo car model with the Stelvio name too... It's used for all sort of racing on two and four wheels.

Great video to share with us all. Those Swiss roads are something else! Looking forward to the next one, Italy awaits!

Great journey so far, appreciate how open you’ve been about the highs and low 👌

Your videos are great. We are lucky to be able to enjoy your journey with you. Thanks for making and sharing your videos. The Passo di Tremelo is a bone shaker cycling on a road bike. I rode it many years ago. I suppose you could really cut down on your luggage by not camping or cooking staying in accommodation each night and eating in restaurants, etc., but this would completely change your tour and be a lot more expensive. You are doing great. Yes things have a habit of turning out for the better if you trust your instincts providing they are good of course. ATB.

I've being touring on a motorbike (Triumph's) for 20 years or so. Always learn a few phases and write them down in my wee book. I particularly love Switzerland! I'm ok with French, can just about get by with German and can talk with my hands in Italian as good as anyone. Great work! You have reminded me that I must get back into Switzerland sometime soon!
