Hey Richard! Glad you're enjoying the videos!! I usually book my hotels as I go, sometimes even going straight to the hotel and trying my luck at the reception desk. Most of the time, I'll book a hotel in the morning to the place I'm planning to go that day. I like doing that because I can change plans on the spot accordingly to the weather, or if I have new ideas along the day!

@@maxrides yes thanks for the advice and I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Only problem when you just turn up at the hotel sometimes is they may not like bikers and it's a straight no we are full 🤣 so booking in the morning or the night before I think is the best way forward 👍

Glad you're enjoying the videos Alan!! Thanks for watching!

Hey Sylvesters, no, it's actually a BMW F800GS Adventure, 2014 model!

Thanks for watching!!

Hey Alexandro!! When I did my research last year, I concluded that September and October would be the best time to do a trip around the Pyrenees. I briefly discuss this in my next video: ruclips.net/video/w0PfgaVF47o/видео.html. If you are too late in October, I would just keep an eye on the night temperatures to try to avoid ice in the early morning (I got some in the Picos de Europa later in this same trip). Besides that, just take a good amount of layers, and you'll be fine!

@@maxrides thank you so much!!!

No problem man! Let me know how the trip goes!!

Hey Gus, glad you liked the videos and thanks for asking!! I'm safe and sound, just had a small video production hiccup here! The trip was fully recorded last year, and I usually edit the videos when I'm already back home. I should be back on the usual "one video per week" schedule very soon!

Thanks David, glad you liked them man! See you on the road!!

Hey Derek, nice to meet you too man!! Super glad you enjoyed the videos!!

Thanks Robert! Glad you liked it!!

Thanks Edel!

Hey Neil, glad you liked!! Thanks a lot, comments like yours give me a lot of motivation to keep it going! :)

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Glad you liked Pat!! Alps and Dolomites are probably going to be my next big trip now!! I'm in the planning phase of it!!

Thanks Pat!! Glad you liked it!

Hey Pat! Glad you liked the videos man!! I never been to these parts of Spain you were (Madrid, Segovia, Toledo etc.), it must be awesome too!! Who did the bike transport for you folks? I had a very rough experience in the ferry on my way back from Spain, so I've been thinking about better alternatives!

This part of Ireland is really 😍! And, yes, rv parking and wild camping is very common in Ireland and also around The Burren. I always see a lot of them when going around, especially in the summer. Inside this video's route, this place here seems to be very popular: maps.app.goo.gl/YQB9YHS9VxHn98o87 hope it helps!! 😊

Obrigado Manuel! Glad you liked it! Portugal is coming later on this same trip, stay tuned!

By the way, I also have the same content in Brazilian Portuguese, might be cool for you and your friends! 😊 bit.ly/3GbOE4Y

Thanks Martin, glad you enjoyed it!! That's actually my neighbour, he came around with the baby to wish me a safe trip!!

Glad you liked it Abdelrhman!

Glad you enjoyed it Colin!! Are you doing it this year?? We might cross paths around at some point! :)

@@maxrides Yes indeed, have done 8 so far with 22 and 21 tomorrow. Also doing the Wolfhound Rally. And Yes, hopefully we will cross paths at some point, Cheers

That's awesome! I wasn't aware of the Wolfhound one, will check it out, thanks!

Thanks!! Glad you liked! I had a small production hiccup here, but back on track! Just published the next one in the series: ruclips.net/video/evjzH8hdw9I/видео.html In total, the Spain and Portugal trip will probably have something around 20 videos! :)

Glad you enjoyed it bris442!!

Gracias Zerrot! A lot more coming from my Spanish trip!! :)

Hey Chris, glad you liked the video! From my checklist here: ferry ticket, passport, vaccination certificate and Spanish locator form. These are for the ferry. It's also a good idea to carry a printed version of your insurance (the ferry won't ask it, but the police might). If you're crossing to France via the land border, there was also a form that you need to sign and carry with you (it's a self-certification about Covid symptoms). In France it's also mandatory to carry an emergency yellow vest (just carry, not wear it necessarily while riding). Let me know if you have any other questions, super happy to help!

Quick note: worth checking before you set out too, these rules tend to change a lot these days!

@@maxrides Hi mate. Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it 😁. Glad you mentioned France, I'll be going through Andorra which means I have to go through a bit of France to get back into Spain.

Another thing to notice: Andorra is not part of the European Union and also not part of the European economic area, so worth checking if your bike insurance will be valid in there (it's mandatory as far as I know).

@@maxrides yea buddy I've already that covered. Just need an IDP 1949.

Thanks Charles!!

That's a great ride to start the year for sure!! Did you make any of the glens!? Thanks for watching!!

@@maxrides I got as far as the town of Glenarm on the coast then turned inland through Glenarm Glen and home via Broughshane. Great way to spend New Year’s Day.
