Most RUclipsrs drop the motorway footage, whereas you create a piece of art with it. Truly a joy to experience. Amazing talent you guys. So looking forward to your next trip.
Ah cheers bro .. thanks for watching and kind words . Appreciate that
Hi dude, I have just finished watching all your videos from your first to your latest. Honestly I'm now a firm subscriber and follower on all social platforms of yours. I follow loads of big name motovlogers and have done so for some years now, I have been looking for some new Harley, camping & adventure content and yours ticks all the boxes. Even better that I have found you or you have found he :) while you are still small in terms of subscribers as I find the engagement to be a lot better and appreciating. Whereas the bigger channels don't give you the time of day. Honestly pal your content is really good, well paced and keeps you engaged.
You and the wife work well together on camera, so keep up the good work. Im l@@King forward to what's next? and best wishes to your daughter and the whole family unit :)
What a great comment to open my phone up to … we really appreciate the support. . Super kind of you to take time out to leave those kind words , comments like that give us a kick , we’ve a lot to learn , but had no bloody idea when we started but feel like we finding our feet.
Next , uk summer camping trips , once our daughter a little stronger .. but she getting better every day . Then in late summer 3 weeks slow ride back roads across Spain ..
thanks again for that man .
Best wishes from us both
You should really think about getting a dedicated motorcycle navigation system like a TomTom Rider...it´s a game changer when you can even plan extra curvy roads. And they are wheather proof and you can leave on the gloves to use it.
Not a bad shout , not something I’ve ever thought about , only used phone last year or two .. before that was still a good old map .
Plain and simply COOL
Cheers for watching!
Love the picture of you both sat down on the train just after the 'safety information'. Your faces tell a story of what you have experienced on this trip, wonderful.
Cheers pal …best wishes from us both
Guys that was such a great series. God bless you and your daughter prayers and good thoughts from across the pond.🙏👍
Thanks for watching mate & more so for the kind words . We always read these to Meghan and always gets a smile . She doing great and smiles bigger daily .
Thank you 🙏
Our best wishes to you
Brilliant mate, was looking forward to your next video. Looking now. Proper comment later. Hope your daughter is well.
Thank you bro ! Yep she is doing so good
Thank you . 🙏
Best wishes
Thouroughly enjoyed your depiction of that trip through my country (litterally, Rocamadour-Cahors is my back garden and motorcycle recreationnal area, and I lived and rode in the part of French Riviera you travelled through for 8 years).
Your video style is very pleasant, and you truly share a piece of your heart with us.
Ever ride through the South West again, there's a meal and a place to stay waiting for you near Cahors, just get in touch.
All the best Marc & Lisa.
Gilles.
@@freebird46250 That’s really kind of you Giles .. shall definitely be back as it was a blur of a trip as so much on our minds . Stunning place to call your back yard . Best wishes
Great video. Total respect to both of you. Roast dinner definitely earned. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching, I’ll let you in on a secret we never made the roast dinner . Both to shattered it was a Chinese take away and straight to bed haha . Cheers for the comment dude
Another great adventure.. thanks 4 taking us along
@@danielsouthern411 You’re welcome!
Thank you mate
Got to agree with you about the sat nav on the bike. Bought a quad lock a couple of months ago and it’s fantastic.
Another great video with some cracking music.
Cheers for watching bud , thanks for kind words . Best wishes
Brilliant video again pal😊
As for your goggles misting up look on it as your guardian angels looking after you, telling you it's time to pull over, always look on things happen for a reason pal
@@robindalton1790 Thank you 🙏
So very true ..
Great video. May be worth getting your rear wheel alignment checked re difficult right turns 👌🏼
Cheers for the tip !!!
Cracking series. Really appreciate you sharing another great video. Looks like someone was pleased to see you when you got home. Great dog. All the best. Jim
@@jimc-59 Thank you Jim …
I was just as pleased to see the boy too !
Best wishes mate
Wicked video like you I have a black road king with road glide bars and heated grips fitted do a lot of trips round Europe love your vids best I’ve seen been riding bikes since I was 16 now 60 never without a bike been touring Europe last 24 years of that b4 was mostly around where I live in Scotland and from all I’ve watched you are a Biker to your core Thank you for the great vids would love to meet you on the rd somewhere some day keep rubber side down and sunny side up. Ps I have also worn half face all the time I’ve ridden and my best solution to riding in that crazy rain is a half face with a sun shield does not steam up Works a treat anyways much respect to you and your good missus and of course the road KING S
@@sadletrampsscooby Ah mate that’s great to read … we are so alike we’re bound to meet haha our brains think the same. I bet you have some great stories .
So good to hear from you .
Wishing you Many more happy safe travels down beautiful roads under a golden sun .. & hope to bump into you .
@@LeanIntoTheWind Hi been watch in more of your great vids anyone can make a vid but film making is an art and like all art forms there are just a select view that have these special skills thank you so much for all your work on this am sure we could swap tales all night lest keep in touch and if ever on travels at same time we could meet up I was in Sicily earlier this year how fun crazy hot is it in the middle not been there since 2013 has changed a lot I’ve done the whole coast just a heads up east coast not really worth it as I did down the west back up the east b4 but this year I did the middle oh my god is biking heaven headed to casino Between Rome and Naples from senigalia then down to Bari but on the way back from roccheta a volturno where I stayed in a farm house and was given 3 dogs for company on the farm I stayed on up to Terni. Awesome roads the whole way The amalfi is the breathtaking bit and maybe 100 miles down done a lot of coastlines but that centre road mama Mia I was away for 4 weeks as I retired earlier this year so for once did not have to be back for work clocked 6000 up planning next trip going to go to faak am see in sept for bike week then heading to the warmth of south of Spain you would love andulicia as this where all spaghetti westerns made you can visit la cahorra and just like the films is a small white painted town with signs creaking in the wind dogs barking and babies crying then they have a western town as a tourist attraction saloon corals etc and of course the original old west town that they were actually filmed in as you see I too watched all those cowboy movies and there is always a few nights in any trip where I ride into the sunset and riding in that part of Spain is kinda like being transported to that time
@@sadletrampsscooby Wow what a great read that was , if I bump into you on the road we would talk all night ! Yeah the middle of Sicily hot as hell huh !
We have been over a lot of Spain and lots of the Sergio Leone spots . Including mini Hollywood in Tabernas . We are back for 3 weeks in Sept to find some of the more remote film locations and wild camp in the desert . We also Love Ronda , first time I visited Ronda I sat in a restaurant on the cliff as sun went down and said I would like to grow old & die in this town …
I just love it there , and the mountain road in from Malaga is stunning .
@@LeanIntoTheWind How cool is that we may be having some wind therapy in same location at round about same time how I love how the universe works when your tuned in to it and away from all the mainstream noise and nonsense so I have access to a place outside San Pedro long story but is sitting empty has 2 bedrooms plus a bed settee in living room a kitchen to cook in and there is even an underground garage for the bikes to keep them safe and cool oh and and a swimming pool and you guys are more than welcome to stay there when I visit if that fits with your plans otherwise we can at least meet for some food and a chat when we are there. In the town nearest tabernas I remember this small travena above a small pension they spoke no English and there was no menu you just needed to know what was available order whatever tapas you wanted so alongside my pigeon Spanish I just pointed at other peeps tapas as they came out saying eg uno or doss por favour it was delicious food and a real hoot and of course every dish was accompanied by a beer and total was about €10 of was 11 years ago so prices will have risen but am sure will still be there as very popular with the locals sometimes it’s those wee details that really make the trip just like a well finished chopper it’s the little details that are often the marvel
@@sadletrampsscooby Super kind of you and if we in that area same time would be a joy . We know San Pedro well , as Lisa’s folks had a place in Estepona for last 15 years , we have gone there a lot , I have an old school friend lives in San Pedro also . It’s beautiful.
The tapas bar in Tabernas same
We went 2 years ago
6 tapas and 2 beer 8 euro
We gave them double and the waitress near passed out .. it was excellent food too .
Gone are the days of taping your directions to your petrol tank, eh? Then they smudged and ran in the rain,and it was back to frequent stops to look at your os map. Not so sure i miss that😂
@@thebimblewizard1242 I don’t miss it either .. hours wasted getting lost
Nah don’t miss it either ..
Simply Brilliant !! Mark & Lisa , I still think your as mad as a box of frogs...LOL( excuse the pun) . Never mind roast diner nothing beats the love of the family pet when you come home. As I said on the bike your in the movie. Regards Robert & Carolyn
Thanks you two … ah so good to see the dog … we missed him , but he had fun with our youngest daughter looking after him . Best wishes to you both
Done the N85 from Gap to Grenoble a few times; love it. Left, right, left, right, wet, dry, wet, dry!
Yeah what a cracking road .. we was lucky great weather there , especially for March
@@LeanIntoTheWind done it in late September. Cold over the top and then cooked in Grenoble!
Keep on rollin’ man.
@@mdf1671 You too man , happy travels
Another great video. Thanks for taking us along.
@@ScottNelson-nk4sx Cheers mate , thanks 🙏
Excellent!
Thanks again .
Another cracking video and series brother (and Lisa) Someone told me to use hazard lights if driving in heavy rain and below the speed limit. Hope your daughter is OK and recovering well and hope you enjoyed your roast and apple pie with custard. Look forward to the next one. Stay safe
Thank you … ain’t a bad shout the hazard lights … too be honest if goggles had have misted up , I would have coped … they have never misted . It’s just that balaclava… but live and learn ..
but yeah where the goggles misted I was going so slow
Hazards would have been wise .
Thanks for kind words… she doing real good
Best wishes
Scary! Glad you two made it ok on that last stretch 👍🏽
Cheers fella . Was a tough night
Great video mate, yes I remember riding with a tank bag and a map tucked underneath a clear window pocket and trying to stay on track while trying to watch the road, definitely a lot easier now
You had a map !!! That’s forward thinking haha … I think best I got was writing names of roads on my hand … which was great till it rained !
@@LeanIntoTheWind 🤣🤣
When using your sat nav on the Continent (I’ve never MCd in Europe) ,does this cost you in data allowance ,forgive my ignorance ?.
@@robertdaley1194 yeah it does use data .. and you need to check your allowance for Europe. But … before you set off from home and when connected to wifi I’d suggest downloading the sections of the maps you are likely to use . Then while away turn of data .
And it won’t cost you .
If you need to download more while away
Pop in somewhere with WiFi and download more sections .
There are videos on RUclips showing you how to download (if you’ve not done it )
I can feel the note of your M8 engine through my Tablet 😊,so glad you made it safely home ❤❤❤❤+RK ❤.
Thank you bro ❤
Epic scenery, just love watching and hearing about your travels and the reviews !
I would probably have left something in the hotel foyer after a tough long day like that ! Lisa's realy on the ball ( watch the bike !) When the woman opens the at door at the services 😉
Realy wishing you and your family all the best & wishing a speedy recovery for your daughter.
Yeah it’s easy done , luckily no one stole the bags .. if they had there would have been no videos .. all the SD cards were in there .. but live and learn . It was a dramatic end to day . Gutted cameras had run out because it would have made good footage but there would have been a lot of swearing …
Thanks for kind words
Meghan doing so well .
The best from us all
Thanks for watching
If that trip were the Olympics I do believe you’d both be wearing gold!😊
I felt like I deserved a medal for surviving that night 😂 thanks for watching
Tremendous video, great storytelling carrying me along.
In the '70s I remember Parcs Mercantour and the Encrins further north. They are a very beautiful part of France that are worth a whole summer exploring.
You are both just a pair of Desolation Angels, lovin the road trips.
Cheers man.
Thank you bro , bet they were amazing back then … my grandad took my dad on the back of his old Ariel Square 4 back in mid 50s through that part of France on way to Italy … I have had some great photos in my possession for many years of that place . yeah so this was more of a reconnaissance mission , as we just wanted to roll around and get lost … we will definitely go back to that area , and Verdon Gorge etc .
Thanks for watching and more so for taking time out to message
Best wishes from us
loved every episode and every mile you took us on.Hope you got your roast dinner .Ride safe
So glad your enjoying the Chanel! Thanks for watching - The roast was great 😊
Thank you for sharing your adventure. Your editing skills are outstanding. Good to see your comments that the family are well 👍👍
Too kind .. 8 months of making these videos .. paying off … just been learning as I go .. but it is getting easier . Thanks for kind words ❤
Hey guys, I’ve just finished watching your French trip, great videos as always. Anyway, I’m glad you got back safely and I hope everything goes well for your daughter. Looking forward to your next road trip whenever you are able. All the best.. Ian P
Many thanks, Meghan doing really good ..
much appreciated
Best wishes
Another great video!!
@@MrEmoor Thanks 🙏 again mate
Another great vid. Agree with one of the comments, the soundtrack really adds to the experience!
That rain was ferocious!
As a direct result of you twos videos, I'm having a test ride on a Road King Special today.......never ridden a Harley,so we'll see how that goes 😀
Should read ' that rain must of been ferocious 😮
Thanks for watching again ! Best wishes today … you’ll probably hate the stock handlebars they had to go for me , they will more than likely kill the joy … I may be wrong …
You we'rnt wrong. 40 mins and shoulder ache! Otherwise very impressed. !
Glad you made it honey me safely guys❤
Cheers !! Best wishes
Im addicted.... to this perfect mix of content visuals & music. I would never of thought classical music and the throb of RK pipes going together, what a wonderful head trip with a rocket. Happy you both made it through the road & rain horror Mark I use a APP called Windy weather on my phone has great real time radar & wind direction has saved my ass a few times brother.
Thanks so much for watching , appreciate the comments and I always say to mark I love the classical it somehow seems to work ….. I’ll get mark to check that app out 👍
@@LisaSchubert13 Lisa I found its good for me on our long hauls planning what weather & direction rain is coming through the day. Its a real joy following your channel my new addiction ⭐😉
Thanks so much !!
I’ll definitely check that App .
But it’s summer now in uk
So no rain now for 6 months
Yeah 👍
What a story 👊I wish you all well and take care ✌️
Cheers bro !
Best wishes
Another great one.Your a better man than me gotta have my windshield 😊
Haha Nah , you don’t miss what you’ve never had .
Thanks for watching ❤
Hi,great series and glad you're both home safe and well . Yes when you're cold and wet it's safer to stop, but we don't . We get it in our heads that we need to get to that destination so we go for it. Is that the hiplok your using if so what do you think of them ?
Yeah we struggle on always , it was only when goggles misted up
It got so frightening
I literally could not see
And no exits came for a good 30 min
No hard shoulder
No choice
So had to lift goggles and get eye whipped
Haha I laugh now writing this
But I was so bloody scared
More so for having Lisa on the back ..
I’d never have got back on the road for last ten min
I’d have slept under bike cover …
Yep hiplok well I dunno it’s definitely put people off
I left it in London and saw the scooter hoodies pull up as I sat in coffee shop across road
They looked at it and rode on .
Apparently takes 10 min to cut through
3 blades
And two batteries…
I have a really noisy disc lock too
It’s all you can do huh
Spot on guys found the series very interesting 👍
Cheers mate . Much appreciated
Really enjoyed the series, awesome scenery, great photography and some fantastic commentary. Thanks for sharing your experience and hope all is going well with your daughter. Wishing her a speedy recovery!
Thanks so much David . Really appreciate the feedback. & Meghan is doing really good .. thank you
Best from us all
Stronger than rain, stronger than cold 💪🌞👍
I dunno I felt battered haha
😂@@LeanIntoTheWind
PIANNO ? no freakin way 😊
Yes Way .
.... and... a detachable windshield for long haul rides... priceless... believe me... can provide you with images if you like
Everyone says they a must , but I’m just not ready for one yet .. it’d be great in the rain , but that’s the only time I’d want it to be honest .
I don’t know much but I hear being able to see whilst riding is rather important 😂 fair play getting as far as you did!
I would have loved to see you camp on the side of the road but I think you made the right call to get to a hotel 😂
Where to next!
Yeah it’s definitely handy !!!! Haha
Ah man in summer some uk stuff Wales Devon Cornwall … Sept … 3 week Spain trip … slow one though , back roads beach days desert days !!!
@@LeanIntoTheWind hot damn! Were popping to wales soon and was thinking of Spain in September 😂😂
Great minds 😂
@@drewdaism_ Amazing … if you in Spain when we are … we must hook up one night …
@@LeanIntoTheWind that would be great! I haven’t even started planning anything yet and I am rapidly runnning out of time 😂
@@drewdaism_ nah we ain’t planned , to be honest , we won’t book anything other than the boat … we not gonna do any motorways so gonna go Portsmouth to Santander … then just go get lost , my only plan , is to wild camp at Sad Hill Cemetery… on first night …
Don’t tell me u did the surfin song … Is it yer band ??
@@scottmears7490 Nah that’s not mine , great tune that though … I ain’t that good

That you with the hot shoes right !
Epic
Many thanks 🙏
Using your videos to get my wife on the back of my bike...might not show her this one though 😂
Thanks for watching and yes this weeks video will definitely put her off 😂…….. but I think Mark was clever he started taking me out for days out to begin with then gradually we went on longer trips ……… I think if he took me straight abroad, I would have found it too much - good luck with convincing her 😊
@LisaSchubert13 hey, thanks for replying and good idea to do some short trips to start...and in the warm and dry 😀
those mountains wow,rain bikers nightmare
@@hobbs7ly Ecrins so beautiful, need to go back .. rain , dark and open face lids just like a bad cocktail.
@@LeanIntoTheWind only had open helmet for first year
@@LeanIntoTheWind by the way sent u some pics o my morn in garden yesterday before i had crumpets lol
@@hobbs7ly Ah I got a full face , but only wore it once … I’m saving it for a snowy day haha
@@LeanIntoTheWind lol i've only had visor down when it's raining otherwise i have to have it open but once when i was riding along a bee somehow got u der helmet n was buzzing about in front o my face when visor was down so maybe that's a reason lol
Heavy stuff with rain! I drove in one week to Cannes. Both ways 2 days rain vs. I have the same helmet as Lisa. Also with pinlock….it does fog u(f*ck) up anyways!! Don’t you use the rainsock over your aircleaner????.
Yeah the rain can be a drag , but dark and cold definitely harder … yeah Lisa said she couldn’t see , my goggles never misted before .. but I’m putting that down to balaclava. My air cleaner not the paper one … but yeah would have been handy to have rain sock , but bike didn’t have any issues … except the oem tyres , but they close to end of life , so I’ll be getting some cobra chrome on .
hi, there... please do not take it as a "smart ass" advise or comment... -> I got myself some pitch black Rukka Goretex Pro gear along with my brandnew FLHRXS back then, looking real bad ass... providing ultimate comfort & protection from the elements... great value for real riders... going regardless what the forecast is like. I can just recommend it... notably for riding in the UK, and going on trips with oceanic weather conditions, incl. western and northern Scandinavia... you'll never get wet and/or cold again... never... once-in-a-lifetime investment...
Yeah I know Rukka make stunning gear , real good quality. Too be honest we never got wet , our water proofs are 100% water proof.. we just did not dress warm enough for temperature down to 4 …well it was 4 in morning the night in the rain probably colder .. as it was late .
Lisa got a heated jacket , but we didn’t take it as didn’t think it would be as cold , south of France was real warm , it’s just
March so unpredictable in Europe could be fairly nice or could be snow .
We got off light .
Hope you doing good pal
Always good to hear from you
Take care dude
Really glad you both made it in that awful rain 🌧️ been there many times, it’s bloody scary. Another good one Mark and Lisa and love that last sound track. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to the next one. Enjoy that roast!
