    Wow Kate, I guess I will have to stop complaining when it reaches 32 Degrees Fahrenheit in Texas. We don’t really have anything for combating the Ice on the Roads here because it’s so rare. I would have been scared to death on those Roads. We had Snow actually stick a couple of Years ago down around Houston, and there were almost 2500 Accidents per Hour. No one knows how to drive in it. It’s so Rare. Loved the Video. You guys are Crazy.👍❤️

    Holy mackerel Kate, I couldn't believe my eyes when you headed off out into those conditions. Being a motorcycle journalist in the UK is one tough gig. Have you and Mike ever thought of moving to Queensland?😊🇦🇺

  • @seanorrick8921
    @seanorrick8921 Год назад

    I can't believe my eyes. I thought I was the only nutbar who rides in snow and ice. I live in Denver and I get the best looks from people in the winter. Especially when I wear my cowboy boots and cutoffs.

    A shame the bikes didn't have heated grips or seats.
    I felt cold just watching this...I would likely struggle to stay focused if not warm enough & would be apprehensive on summer tyres.
    Thanks for sharing
    Ride Safe 👍🏍

    It's something I use constantly and it's a weird omission that you can't even fit an aftermarket one to these.

  • @stuarthammond1009
    @stuarthammond1009 Год назад +3

    Well I know it's early but that is best 30mins video I have seen this year, and will take some beating!
    Have always followed your videos and love your positive attitude and enthusiasm for motorcycles. You are a shining star and you can attract new riders which our hobby definitely needs. Particularly love how you involve dad too !
    Totally agree about barmouth bridge have been doing it for years including when there was a tariff, you definitely feel like your breaking the law !
    Cannot wait for next video in this series.
    Thanks for your hard work and both of you ride safe and enjoy this crazy trip.

  • @stevenmichaelhoward
    @stevenmichaelhoward Год назад +5

    You guys are awesome, so much respect for you embarking on this trip in those horrendous cold conditions, I will be really interested to see how the GT build quality holds up with all that salt etc, I have recently bought one of these and it still urks me that no heated grips as standard (although I know stuff needs to be built to a price), I ordered grips as an option and need to get them fitted by the dealer at the 1st service, all in all loved the vid, very informative and entertaining, looking forward to the next part 2

  • @barryjmarling

    Super video.....and very entertaining. Despite my 48 years of motorcycling, I take my hat off to both of you for a competent and progressive ride in those conditions! I winced when I seen the bikes covered in salty crud though! Hope you slapped loads of corrosion inhibitor before you left home. Looking forward to your next instalment. Thanks again.

    it's not about being brave, it's under all the criticism how you put yourself in danger and other road users I call this immaturity. glad at the same time that you managed the trip. be careful you are young and will have many fun miles ahead of you.

    Love to tag along and do a mini tour with you guy's one day. (Gotta do my big boys licence in mid March first though lol)
    Keep up the great vids Kate and thank you for the entertainment, I love it. Take care and safe riding

    I went out in the snow once on my CB600 Hornet, although i really enjoyed it, it was the worst mistakes ive ever made, not because i cam off, but a month later my newish motorbike was a rust heap, corrosion was everywhere, and got that bad even the header bolts had rusted solid, next time its definitely a wash straight after

  • @jaap698

    I don't know about UsernameKate! You should change it to, Barmy Bird from Bolton! Lol. Rideing a bike in this snow on road tyres, bugger that. You and Mike are both heroes. By the way, the Channel Tunnel only goes to France, it's a bit far to dig it to Garmin 😂.
    Looking forward to your next instalment.
