- Episode 44. Catching the ferry from Santander to Rosslare in Ireland, from Belfast to Liverpool and then riding my Suzuki V-Strom DL1000 all the way home to Scotland after 5 months and 12,000 miles.
I'm going to miss these videos. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
That must have been heart-wrenching leaving the adventure behind...but what an adventure it was. Thanks for taking us all with you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I take my hat off to you. Congratulations. You have taken us with you on a wonderful adventure. Safe travels. Until the next time
Thank you so much Ian for taking me on your journey and a special thank you to your wonderful bike, may you both enjoy lots more adventures together.😊
Ian . What can we say ? You have taken us with you on an epic adventure ....
Thank you... We will be right here waiting on the next one ! (Trusting we haven't all gone on our own adventures after all your tremendous encouragement many thanks)
See you out there
What a great series of videos, fantastic!! We are all now looking forward to your next trip. I just wish I had the courage to do what you have done but at 84 I feel I may be pushing it a bit. However, we have, in some small way, been with you. Thanks again for sharing it all with us. Very best wishes from your other subscriber 🏍
Watched you all the way. Great video's, thanks for keeping it real. Glad your back safe and look forward to your next trip.
Welcome home Ian and congratulations on your epic trip.
Thank you Ian for sharing your journey with us. Loved all of your videos and can't wait for you to earn some biker beans and start your next adventure. Also thanks for showing the world what the mighty V Strom will do. She's done you proud mate. EPIC !!!
Really enjoyed your videos.. you make a 77 year old biker very happy.. looking forward to more.. all the best Bernie
Thanks for taking us all along on your Adventure Ian the videos and writing have been brilliant can't believe it's been 5 months looking forward to more in the future.
Well done Ian. Thank you for sharing your travels. I will miss your videos.
Awesome! You have inspired me!!!
Thanks for sharing your adventure Ian. I bought an electrically heated jacket and gloves seven years ago. They are a game changer for cold weather riding. One lesson learned, I take my jacket everywhere on a journey after leaving it behind last May. I left France 28C and South England below 10C, I've never been so cold. I think a 650 is the best size for a trip like yours
Ian, thanks for sharing your ride, travel and adventures with us, I really enjoyed travelling with you, kind regards! Harry
Thanks Harry. Appreciated.
It’s been thoroughly enjoyable to watch your amazing adventure, very inspiring as I may have mentioned before! Thanks for sharing your journey, and I’ll look forward to your next adventure, wherever that may be! Cheers, Paul 👍
Cheers Paul. Appreciated.
Well, what a fantastic adventure. Loved every minute of it. Relax and chill, sort the bike out and think of your next adventure . No matter how big or small we will be with you all the way. Take care, ride safe. What an experience for you, our Scottish Noraly!! Best wishes Pete and Caroline.
You have no idea how brilliant this adventure this has been thankyou so so much for sharing with us
Good to see you home safely. Thanks for posting the videos, it’s been quite a journey.
Great series, thank you. All the best for the future.
Brilliant series, really enjoyed following along 👍
May the post ride buzz last a long time. Then back to the drawing board. Well done doing what you did!! A man of any age would be proud of your epic trip. So glad an "oldie' has to show the young uns how to do a proper trip;)
What a brilliant adventure I’ve watched all episodes and I must say what a privilege it as been 👍🏻 I’ll be watching out for your next adventure 🙏🏻🍺🥃
It's great your home safe Ian
Loved every moment of your adventure watched all your videos they where fantastic.
Congratulations on finishing an epic journey and vlog, its been brilliant to 'ride' along with you. Thank you so much and I look forward to the final round up. 👏👏👏
Fantastic Ian, I've followed you from the off on here and the vstrom group and have enormous respect for what you've gone through, your enthusiasm for history and architecture is infectious. I will watch these episodes over and over. My favourite country has to be Morocco and will be going down there on my vstrom soon. Very many thanks for 5 months of great pleasure following you. Looking forward to the last episode and then the next tour. Still think you should lead a small group tour, you're a natural. Stay warm and safe. Best regards Steve.
Glad you're home safe and sound Ian.
Haste ye back Ian,what an amazing ride I've been on since you left Scotland, I've waited in anticipation for the next video one after another and enjoying each one more and more,what an amazing man you are, making a trip like that at 64 is truly incredible, I wish you health and wealth for your next adventure and just hope I stumble across you over the summer when I'm out and about in the west of Scotland, outstanding achievement.
From an old biker(72) to you. Thanks mate . Enjoyed your video diary to africa and back. I have travelled much of the world by M/bke and loved every minute of it. Northern Australia coming up next month. snakes and Crocs permitting . Ride safe.
Good on yer mate!
I´ve really enjoyed your travel videos and appreciate all the work you have done when filming, editing and sharing them!
Looking forward to the videos from your next motorcycle riding season!

Thank you for letting us come on your journey it's been brilliant to watch. It would be interesting to see what your vstrom has needed on your journey and what it needs now to put it back to pre journey condition 😁

Thoroughly enjoyed the series. I watched every episode beginning to end. Thanks for taking us along to places I know I will never experience personally. Good job sir!
Really enjoyed it, keep going.
Thank you Ian for taking us along with you. I'm looking forward to your next adventure. Five months! It doesn't feel that long :)
All good things come to an end. Never a truer word spoken!
Cheers for sharing your travels Ian, really enjoyed your adventures and gave me lots of ideas for my future bike journeys, I applaud you sir. 👏🏻
Thanks Jim. It was a pleasure.
Ian. I love the V Strom and am looking for one just now - that is how I came across the videos last November - and followed the series all along so that I feel I travelled with you. What is mad is that, after all the countries and all the roads, in THIS episode you rode by my village when you crossed the border into Northern Ireland! You could almost see my house when riding towards Newry! I have really, really enjoyed the series, so thank you. I look forward to the last of the series and a walkaround of the bike. Then I look forward to the NEXT trip!Best wishes, Art
I really enjoyed your trip . Thanks for bringing us along for the ride . greats stream series please let us know when your on your next ride and we will follow you . Thanks again 👍👍👍👍

😔your home safe and what memories you've made, thanks for sharing your trip over the winter months, even inspired me to get my go pro out and record my own trips all be it only France --again Thank you
Hi Ian. I just wanted to say thank you for the 44 episodes of travel. I am off to Spain in a couple of weeks and have been very motivated by your adventure. Might get as far as Portugal but that will do for now. All the best in the next one and again Thank You
Paul
Thankyou very much for sharing your adventure, been great watching, all the best Ian take care .
What a great series, congratulations. Am sure we are all awaiting your next adventure. The thing i like about your channel, is that its down to earth, and'natural', not staged, and certainly not made with a pompousness seen in so many RUclipsrs..... Again, jolly well done 🤜🤛
Thxs for your video's
The photos at the end says it all amazing trip and look forward to the next one.
Absolutely awesome series bud. As a 62yr old you have inspired me to push myself that bit more. Look forward to your future travels. Ride safe fellow Manc!

Großartig, was du für eine Reise hinter dir hast. Respekt für diese Leistung. Für mich ist es eine Inspiration ähnliches zu unternehmen. Grüsse aus dem Schwarzwald.
Hi buddy, it's your true subscriber here, don't leave it to long before the next vid, even if it's giving the bike a good clean, or how you are planning your next epic adventure. Perhaps a few vids around your beloved Scotland. The evenings won't be the same. I'm sure I speak for all the other subscriber who have followed you. Stay safe, ride safe and get the next video out soon pls
Glad your home safe👍, it's been a blast Ian. Loved the montage at the end 👌😀
Arrived home Ian 😊 It was really nice, to be with you.
I will follow you on your future trips ...
Take care,
Gerhard

If your ever popping over the water to Largs Vegas
I will put the kettle on ☕️😉
Thanks for sharing your adventure thoroughly enjoyed it 👌🏼
Keep it up and keep them wheels rolling 😉
Loved the vids and thank you for taking us along. Looking forward to our trip in May now.
Great semi last vid - 12,000 miles true adventurer, bit of a plan but always ready to change route, nothing fazed you since the start - hats off to you, you’ve put the rest of us semi mid 60ts guys and girls to shame 😢 but given us great ideas - loved the music when you were in Spain it was Spanish/ Mexican music then you arrive in Ireland it’s Celtic music then you arrive in Scotland it’s highland music 😂🤣 I’ll miss these vids - honest travelling - one man one bike 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Welcome back. 🥶Your travels and vids will be missed but watched over many times. Looking forward to your next mission should you take on the challenge. We will all be waiting. 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
Thanks for all the videos.
I did a similar route early 2023 and you stopped at a couple of campsites I used, even nearly the same spot on one.
Think I'll do it again soon or maybe head east somewhere. Take care and happy travels
Great series and adventure mate, glad your home ok. Many memories to last a lifetime. would stick with the bigger bike,they cope better with luggage than smaller bikes. Many thanks for sharing with all of us, much appreciated.
Excellent trip. Thanks for sharing.
Brittany Ferries tie-down more impressive.
Its been A hell of A series Ian, really looking forward to seeing you on the road again at some point. 👍
Enjoyed your videos
Will look out for you on your Scottish summer travels..and your DL1000
Stay safe
Time to clean that bike 😉
Got some spannering to do first. New disks, caliper seals, chain guard, clutch pushrod seal, air oil and fuel filters and spark plugs on order...!
@@onemanonebike8514 well deserved, that Vstrom taken some punishment 😎👍
Hi Ian thank you for taking us along. Would appreciate a ballpark breakdown of your costs and necessary visas etc as I would love to attempt something similar. Thanks again
Great series! 👍
Your RUclips subscriber has been joined by a few more since the beginning of your trip haha
I take my hat off to you sir , what a remarkable achievement! Looking forward to your next adventure.
Ian, me and my wife have been following you and enjoyed watching it while having our tea 😅 looking forward to your next trip ..try a 650 v strom next a lot lighter and same unburstable v twin 👍
Sadly a 650 is only 12 kg lighter. and the weak point is the oil pressure light. It flashes exactly 30 seconds before the motor becomes a coffee grinder. Ask me. I know all to well. But otherwise the 650 is a magnificent beast.
Welcome back to the Burgh, I've watched & enjoyed every single video!
I'll keep an eye out for you in the town to say hullo!
Great effort!!
Well done crazy man 👌💯👏👏👏 loved the videos just gald you r safe and well 👍👍👍
well done - fabulous
Very Well done 🎉😊❤
Nice meeting you the other day at great Western Road watched your videos fantastic all the best from sam
Thank you, from your RUclips Subscriber.
Fabulous Ian. Just fabulous.
Ian, it was nice to be on your back seat, virtually, through the whole trip from Helensburgh and back. I got here on my armchair no dust, rain, wind, sun caused skinburning, money expences, currency lacking etc.
Your footage was on high level and professional all the time. Moreover your voice is pleasant and specially suitable for talk inserts. I think, if there were a row of bikes, I would know now the sound of your bike.
Thanks afterwards from Kotka Finland.
great content and videos, all the best for your future travels.
Well done! Enjoyed your journey!
Thanks
You Inspire
Sad it’s over
Glad to know you
Waiting patiently
Your loyal Subscriber
😊
Really enjoyed following your adventure Ian. Look forward to hearing about next one. And the video on what you learnt about the bike, luggage, equipment, etc. Heading off for the month of June to Morocco on my GS. I’ll retrace some of your steps. Stay safe. Padraig.
Glad your back home safe Ian, have really enjoyed watching your adventure, I’m itching to get away myself but have got two pinched nerves in my spine so am waiting on Salford Royal now to get me fixed up best wishes for now pal hopefully see you on your next trip this summer.
cheers mate really enjoyed the trip
