Hi Steve. I look forward to accompanying you on your Sicily journey. I accompanied you with pleasure on your rather stressful and wet Morocco trip. Don't bother with negative comments. You are the supreme boss of your own journeys. We viewers get free entertainment so we just get to enjoy or watch something else if we don't like what you offer. I wish you a good trip! And, don't forget your good old Harley Davidson rubber suit. You never know with the weather 😅😂
Thank you my friend, it will be great having you along for the ride. The Harley rubber romper suit is packed in the panniers as an essential part of the kit! Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
Great Channel Steve, I am embarking on some solo motocamping trips this year and your content is inspiring. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.😊
Hi Jane, I’m on the new trip now and the weather well and truly struck again on my way down south - aaarrrggghhh!! 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Steve my Sue and I have watched all your content and have very much enjoyed it all! Including the music 🎶! much looking forward to your trip to Sicily! I visited many years ago and can confirm it's an amazing place! Safe travels and keep warm and dry. Let's have it! 😊
Hello both of you! Thank you for watching all my videos; I’m so glad you enjoy them and especially the music! The new trip is shaping up to be a cracker! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Steve that's a brilliant adventure , always wanted to ride to Sicily , made it to Sardinia once which was fantastic but I'll be watching you all the way , ride safe
Thank you my friend, this new adventure is shaping up to be a cracker and I’m so glad you are coming along for the ride! Thanks for watching commenting 🙂
I went to France last weekend on Friday - got murdered with the rain and wind and Eurotunnel was rammo so its not just you Ive now joined the club - albeit I went along the coast in Northern France I didnt do anythng like what you did to Morocco - keep going its all good 👍
Hi Steve, I´m glad that you plan to avoid 18 hour rides and I hope you will enjoy this more relaxed approach. Hopefully France welcomes you this time with nice(r) weather. Looking forward to following your trip and pls stay safe!
Safe trip, Steve. As a previous message said - be careful of some crazy Italian drivers, especially around Rome.( I was there years ago having ridden all the way from Ireland on a Honda CX500 Turbo! ). April is a good time of year to go there as it's unbearably hot in July/August. Looking forward to the videos.
Thank you! Yes, I will be keeping my eyes peeled at all times for the Italian drivers!! I’m hoping the temperatures will be perfect, somewhere in the mid twenties… Honda CX500 Turbo - there’s a blast from the past! 😁
Hopefully you’re reading this , after a 2 hr ride and the sunshine’s splitting the flags !! You’ll always be criticised , and it’s normally from people who don’t have the gumption to get out, do the trip , record it and put it out for all to see … and criticise. Sometimes they will have a point but you’ll know that yourself . Most of the time it’s green eyed monster rearing its ugly head . At least your brushing it off 👍 Keep on on doing what you’re doing Steve . Looking forward to the sunshine fingers crossed Mark
Hi Mark, thank you for your kind and very sensible words… I’m currently doing the tour and yes, hurrah, the sun is shining 🌞 (at the moment!). Thank you so much for your continual support 🙂
Nice one Steve look forward to your next exciting tour, don't forget your wets 😊 and remember if you don't use the Swiss motorways stay on the old roads you don't have to purchase the vignette, (tax) stay safe, ride safe
Hi there we loved watching your travels in Scotland. We stay in Aberdeenshire and can be over to the West in 3 hrs ⛰️⛰️ The West Coast is the most beautiful place especially if you get the weather and that’s what we do , we wait for a weather window and pop over Thanks again. Love your music too 👍
Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words, so glad you like my music!! 😁 I love the West coast and plan to be back before too long! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Stumbled across your channel about a month ago and binge watched your vids, thoroughly enjoyed your travels and looking forward to your future adventures... As for the negative comments, most of these sofa surfers couldnt adventure to the toilet for a piss let alone have the means or motivation you have.Great vids and love your channel mate
Hi Jake, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my channel and the new adventure is shaping up to be a cracker! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Thank you Gav, I’m so glad you enjoy the channel! The new trip is shaping up to be a cracker and your trip in June sounds brilliant! 😎 thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Enjoy the channel. You put a lot of pressure on yourself sometimes with long days in the saddle. Just make sure it's not an the expense of enjoying the journey. Bon voyage and keep the videos coming 👍
Hi Jay, I’m so glad you are an enjoying the channel. I’m approaching the Sicily trip in a much more relaxed way… it’s a revelation to me! Plenty more on the way 😁
Can’t wait you see the footage. I was in Naples and the driving is absolutely crazy 🤪, so take care. Pompeii is amazing. As for negative comments, there are some very challenging people out there. You can’t please everyone - so just please yourself 😊👍. Already looking forward to the next episode Steve!
Thanks Ken, the driving standards in Italy are a complete eye opener!!! Riding defensively is definitely the way forward!!! I really appreciate your support my friend 🙂
Hi Steve sounds a brilliant trip all I say is take your time try finishing about 17:00 hrs and get a good rest for the next day and take time out for yourself and see places and culture happy planning and safe trip looking forward to your next series 👌 Steven
Hi Steven, thank you, it’s shaping up into a cracker and funnily enough, 5pm is around the time I’ve been calling it a day each day, finding a good balance of getting the miles done and seeing the sights… Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Hi Steve, Another Steve here from the Isle of Wight - inspirational trips , Sahara trip was brilliant, maybe a bit much for me at 71 but I continue to dream. Italy & Sicily will be a blast, I might try that one providing I can accumulate enough credits at home. Ride safe Steve, see you on the screen.
Hi Steve, thank you for watching and commenting! So glad you enjoyed the Sahara trip… I’m currently doing the Italy/Sicily tour and can thoroughly recommend it if you can see you way clear to come! I love the Isle Of Wight and must be due a visit soon (I usually end up swinging by the Sammy Miller museum either on my way or way back). Ride safe my friend 🙂
Hi Steve ,great to hear about your upcoming trips, I really enjoyed your trip across Europe to the Sahara and back. You ride a lot longer miles than me, 200 is my marker now at 70 .Keep up the good work, it's encouraging me to do more .
Hi Jack, I’m so glad you enjoyed my Sahara trip and it makes me happy to hear it’s encouraging you to do more. I reckon 200 miles in a day is a good distance! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Great Steve looking forward to your next trip be nice if you could do a trip with your son one year when he’s got some miles under his belt enjoy your trip and I hope the sun shines on you for the whole trip ride safe take care 🙏👋
Fair play to you. Wish I could afford the time and money for trips like that. Had planned to do pyrenees and picos this year but it's looking unlikely now. Hope to get to France at least but done so much of it that I need to venture further. Having long covid means I have to extend my trips as I can't do long days in the saddle anymore which compounds the cost/time factor. People will slag you off for doing long days or shorts days or whatever. You do what you need to do to realise your goals. Weather..... I don't think I have ever been in a trip and not experience extreme rain, snow, or heat, in fact I think I have had all of those in one trip o more than one occasion 👍
I can certainly see how having long Covid will make trips so much more difficult (and they are expensive enough under normal circumstances). I hope you start to recover soon and get to venture further afield…. Take care and safe travels my friend 🙂
Hi Steve. You really are a glutton for punishment. Latest trip looks another epic with no time to take in the views. Sometimes less is more (as a viewer). Good luck though.
I was fortunate to do a round trip as far as Bari , around the “boot” at the bottom and returning via Paestum just before covid……My route was surrey, Luxembourg, Black Forest then direct toward Rimini……as a guide I believe it was 10 days IIRC . Watch out for the madness on the roads south of rome 😂 - Ride safe.
That sounds like a fantastic trip you had and so lucky to get it in just before Covid struck… Ben and I are heading off to the Black Forest in August for his first ever bike tour… any top on the area would be gratefully received! 😁 Oh, those Italian drivers!!! 😂
I had a similar plan with 18 days and got nowhere near the bottom of Italy so good luck. I came off my 1250RS last week so it’s in for expensive repairs for a week while I lay here bruised avoiding bike videos but seen this and had to watch.
I am so sorry to hear about your off… I hope you weren’t too seriously injured? Fingers crossed you’ll be up and running again before too long my friend….
@@TwoWheeledDreamer just a lot of bruising on the left leg where the bike landed, had the gear on thankfully. Expensive lesson in the end but I probably needed the reminder
and that trip sounds ace I have about the same time available - could you list your gear for camping - I have no clue what to take ....officially hopeless here ;-)
I’m currently on this new trip and have just filmed a video of my camping set up - once back I’ll get it edited and out there! 😁 I’ll try to put something in this thread too if I get a chance over the next few days….
Hi Steve, congratulations on your 1 year on you tube. Thanks for the invitation to your Italy trip I am so looking forward to it. I bet you are too. Safe riding my friend.
It's your channel so do what suits you, fu@k the haters. Your long day in the saddle made me stop being a pussy and book another bike trip and not be afraid of long days. Good channel, good videos, great bike and interesting watch 👍
Thank you my friend for your kind words, it makes me really happy to hear my videos have inspired you to book another bike trip… brilliant! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Fair play loved your trip to Ireland. Bike safe will watch your trip to Italy
Thanks Paul, it will be good to have you along for the Italian trip too! 🙂
Good luck with your travels i will look forward to watching the up coming tour.👍
