    Another great video guys. The Skye Road is a classic example of where we couldn’t take Nessie, our motorhome, but could jump on our scooter to lap up the stunning views. Thanks for sharing. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

      Yeah liking the thought of this motorhome with a bike on the back idea more and more 😁 -sounds like you don’t miss out this way.

    Absolutely loving your channel. The two of you so remind me of my wife and I when we're out riding.....pure joy. We did a tour of the UK including a lot of Ireland in 2022 and are enjoying reliving the experience through your clips. All the best from Nige and Gwen in Australia......Cheers

    Carlingford Lough on the east coast at the 'border' was fjord enough for the Vikings who named it. It has proper high mountains on both sides just like in Norway! It is at the south end of the Mourne Mountains, well worth a look.

    Riding along the edge of the world, shame you didn’t have my weather back in 2018, sunny and 24 degrees…my friends live on a small island in West Cork. Food, post and people all delivered by boat, beautiful but a bit remote for me..

    • @SeanandEmily
      @SeanandEmily  4 месяца назад

      Yeah sure feels like that 😊, if it’s not raining we consider it a win 😁.
      Wow that’s a different life on an island, I guess during bad weather there won’t be any deliveries -still cool to live on your own island 😎

    Nice and genuine, easy to listen to videos. Full of scenery and information. Just out of curiosity can I ask what make/model of helmet you're wearing and is it good in regards to roas noise? It seems to be.
    Thank you.

      Thanks very much Jimmy! Really glad to hear you enjoy the videos. Yeah this is the adventure helmet from Touratech (that's made for them by Nexx). It's a really comfy helmet and yeah as you say not so loud as it feels like it has lots of padding.

      N0 it's a GoPro off the shelf mount, although we had to buy two of them and join them together. Wasn't cheap but it does the job perfectly. Thanks for your feedback and that's great to hear you like the multi angles.

    Hi both, you are convincing me that I need to do Ireland, your route planning is superb by the way. The fjord question, if I remember correctly is a inlet formed by glacial activity. Thank you.

    • @SeanandEmily
      @SeanandEmily  4 месяца назад +1

      Yeah it’s a fantastic tour, as people tell us we’ve missed a few things due to time restraints (like a tree in their grandmothers field that’s unmissable 🤣🤣🤣) but I feel we have really got a good feel for the place. As always the routes are shared in the first comment.
      Ahhh that makes sense! Hence the fjords always have steep sides 😎👍🏻

    Hi , I noticed you have foam grips on the bars, do they get rid of the vibration / numbness problems ? and also are the heated grips as effective ?
    Cheers, another interesting video 😉

    • @SeanandEmily
      @SeanandEmily  3 месяца назад

      Hi Peter, glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Yes that's right we do have foam grips on. We put them on mainly to protect against wear of the OEM grips as they wear quickly.
      As a bonus i find them more comfortable as they thicken up the grips, they do reduce vibration.
      But as you mention they do reduce the effectiveness of the heated grips but it still works. For 10 euro they are worth having a go to see if you like them. Here is the video where we added them and a few more extras to the bike:
