- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- After serious doubts as to the sanity of this second adventure, we persevere on and decide to fly to bike (and ourselves) over to England to continue on with this journey. But first, we meet up with new friends in Toronto for some sailing during the last few days of summer. And before we know it, everything is looking pretty good.
We hope you enjoy!!

You guys are great and give me great hope for the future generation's drive and energy. Well done.
Dude! I was riding one of my bikes last week that didn't have a windscreen on it and got zapped by a Wasp! It hit me right in the middle of my neck. When I got home I walked in and told my wife, she screams at me to get out because it was still in my jacket. By time I got the jacket off, it had stung me three more times on my neck. Gotta love riding a motorcycle. I was doing 60 mph when he stung me the first time with no where to stop. Cheers! I would normally say safe sailing but now I get to say safe riding. lol
OH NO!!! You utterly failed in Niagara! You went to the American falls instead of the Canadian falls, and you were on the wrong side of the river to see them up close. You were on the right side of the river to experience the Horseshoe falls - a natural wonder of the world, truly stunning. The sound of the water is so powerful you can feel it in your chest. You can board The Maid Of The Mist boat that goes right up to the base of the falls - mind blowing. Even cooler is you can also go into a cave right underneath the falls!
If you were worried about your stuff getting stolen you could have rented a locker at the bus station for a couple of dollars. DOH!!!
Things are starting to look pretty cool guys!
I was crying, the boat sold so fast. WOW and so happy the adventure continues.
so Awesome...looks like fun...thanks for sharing.
Good to know you made it and had family in England.
One word super. Diego & Amparo.
Thanks for another quality video. I really enjoyed it.
I work in air freight at DFW Airport, so it was interesting seeing the air shipment of your cycle. They did a good job.
Looking forward to following along on your European trip, and taking notes for our future trip.
Safe Travels!
Great shots of Toronto.
WELL DONE GUYS KEEP GOING FOLLOW YOU ALWAYS
Ive gotten stung by bees in the neck and have unavoidably struck birds while riding my motorcycle. When you collide with a seagull it feels like you got hit with a bat. luckily the helmet absorbs much of the blow. I had a smaller bird hit me to the side of my eye, that really hurt bed. What a great adventure you guys had!
My wife and I love you guys. We can't wait to do our own Ural adventure. Keep up the great work, and have fun.
I love it!! "We" decided that "We" really wanted this bike, etc... LOL!! I do that to my wife all the time!
We haven't left for the Mediterranean yet. We will be motorhoming from Northern Ireland and I am sure the weather is going to close in on us soon. Planning a departure in 4 weeks. I am sure you are already feeling the warmth :-)
so glad you went through with it, i knew you would, everyone gets stage fright, so proud of you kids!!!!! keep on keepin on and i wish you a safe journey. how ironic that you met new friends that took you sailing, well not so ironic since they probably saw you from your sailing videos but still way cool
your right about buying a bike, thats your bike, you have memories on it
I noticed that you did not spend much time in the UK with family, it seems like a great place do the riding you would have planned for. Have fun! I bet you end up in a boat sailing the Med!!
Effing awesome. I'm so glad you guys are safe no posting again.
Are you kidding me? Chichester! Not only did I go to school there, but later in life that's where my Regiment's headquarters were too, so I was often back for courses. Shame you guys didn't plan a much longer stay in the UK, could have included the lowlands and highlands of Scotland, Lake District, Peak District, Cotswolds, and so much more...
You can definitely buy Urals in the uk. As I said before, if you need help with the Ural, I know some peeps who are really into them. One owned a Ural shop so knows them inside and out. And we all love visistors....
Thanks guys, glad you put it back up again. Great video, was starting to wonder what was going on with the freezing and then it disappeared. Cat, you give great yawn mate. Couldn't stop after that, still yawning thinking about it. Looking forward to the next one, take care over there... ;-}
Another really great episode! So glad you both decided to go ahead with this adventure! Can't wait for the next episode.
Nice really nice!
have a great time in the UK! hope the weather holds out for you two!!!
Hi there! Loved your sailing video's and now your motorcycle trip as well. Now I see that you almost passed by my house in Rotterdam. Funny. Good to see you loved Amsterdam. Have fun on your trip!
Just catching up at the moment, feels strange seeing you guys 'biking through places I know after all the months of exotic locations :-) Looking forward to seeing more, ride safe guys!!
great vid guys..safe travels
Bon Voyage. Next time, I hope you'll spend more time in Canada. Adventures to be had abound here.
Bravo! Excellent video. You should consider photo blogging on ADVRIDER. This adventure would fit perfect in their Epic Rides section. Its a better source for Q&A and is easy to post without significant editing sessions. You can also post live using Tapatalk. They don't allow links to Patreon, but do allow links to RUclips. Your hit count would go up significantly. You'd be rockstars on ADVRider.
I will be back in france mid november to mid december. love to find you and host you a moment if you are going to be around!
Beautiful video of epic adventures chapter 2!
Please come to Cardiff! I would love to show you around.
Oh no, you were so close to Wilhelmshaven (Germany) and wie just today finnished the 'JadeWeserPortCup' (big sailboat regatta with everything from small sailboat to big tallships). :(
Next time your in the area we are 7 miles from Chichester. Welcome to come sailing in the Solent on our new 37ft yacht. We are bikers too. :-)
used to the sailing vlog but this is pretty cool
Any one knows you can fly a motorcycle to England. You put a pair of wings and a propeller and you are halfway there. You could even put floats on it. I just couldn't resist. I hope you are having the time of your lives.
@Never Monday >>> FWIW, I thought the hat Cat was wearing looked GREAT!
I thought Toronto International was one of the most expensive airports in the world. I'm surprised you flew from there for cheap! People in Toronto often drive to Buffalo to fly from there for less.
About the bike: Let's see how she holds up. Maybe the US Version is more reliable than the Urals sold over here (Germany). And on the first glance the prices in the states seem a little less than in europe and you don't loose on the exchange rate. So financially it might just be the same including shipping. Last but not least is Europe the place to be for fancy spares, there are quite some folks throwing mikuni, dellorto and even ducati parts and these things. And obviously it's a good place for BMW spares...
Looks likes tons of fun. With all the gear, etc it was mentioned it slows down the bike. Makes sense, but any issues on certain types of roadways with keeping up with other vehicles?
I was quite suprised at how much it was to ship it air freight, that seemed a really good price.
Awesome video. $1200 is good price to fly the bike. You would have probably paid that much more in mark-up, taxes and exchange rates, if you bought the bike in Europe. Interesting bike. You should rent a couple of scooters for a day and get Cat riding one. They are popular in european cities. Most are automatic, no gears to change and very quite. Some are powerful.
I never would have guessed this would be possible without loads of frustration. I would definitely prefer to ship the bike I want to ride on my dream vacation/european tour, so +1 for shipping rather than buying an inferior local bike.
Niiiiaaaaagraaa Faaaaallllssss!!!!!!! Slooowwwwly i Tuurned; and step by step, inch by inch.... sorry, flashback to an old three stooges skit.
Hehe guys i just saw on your facebook page your in Croatia, i am from Split you planning passing through this city?
Awesome video guys! How were you guys legally allowed to drive around the U.K with an American licensed motorcycle?
Plans not stolen, the tooling was given to the USSR by Germany while they were still "friends" (those friends invaded Poland together) Germany went with a newer model and thought the BMW R75 military was a bit outdated but good enough for Uncle Joe. Russia in turn helped China to produce them as well (still being made their but no-ones first choice for a bike)
Hey, you now have Kay and me thinking about an outfit. (The grandkids have been onto me about a sidecar). Noticed you were three-up at one stage in this Ep. How does the Ural go with an adult pillion and a someone in the car?
Gotta love those kids screaming on flights...
Two words, ear plugs.
one word, barbituates.
Crush them up good before you put them in before you put them in their sippy cups.
um dejavu saw this this morning
I know... sorry about that! The other video had an issue and froze near the end. So we needed to re-upload this one
Could you elaborate on the ship a bike over / buy a bike locally dilemma? Why did you decide you should have bought the bike locally? I have thought about doing the buy one locally trip but I'd be forced to buy a used bike and shopping for one might take up lots of time and I might end up with mechanical troubles I'd be unprepared for on the road with no home base shop.
Are you going to visit Malta?
Hey I thought you might have come to my country Scotland.
We would have LOVED to! But it was already mid September by the time we got to England and thought we would freeze to death if we didn't try to make some quick tracks. Someday though :)
Cool I hope it's to a free Scotland take care .
I am curious about why you chose to buy a Russian made bike. Can you get parts for it in Europe?
Also, regarding your nervousness about safety, it is well founded. Is it possible to buy a small used car over there?
Have fun but stay safe.
Are you guys going through Croatia?
Noisy question but how do you finance your travel from sailing to traveling around Europe?
With difficulty... we saved for 3 years to make the sailing trip a reality. Now, we're using the money from our boat sale to keep going. But we'll have to go back to work soon for a long, long time to re-build the travel fund
international drivers lic at AAA $13.00 easy and very short test have fun
Bitten by a bee
Apply onion juice few times

ummm you were on an sailboat....and 35-50 mph is too slow??? You lost your perspective. Granted you bought a slow cookie cutter sidecar combo.....but that is your husbands fault for being in a rush and not doing his homework.
