Buzzing Around Europe- Dovbush Caves and off-roading in Ukraine
We head in to the Carpathian Foothills to visit caves where, legend says, the Ukrainian “Robin Hood” lived in the 1700’s . The highlight for us was a great ride with Ivan in a Soviet era UAZ 4x4.

Buzzing Around Europe- Vasa Museum
zhlédnutí 97Před 21 dnem
We didn’t have much time in Stockholm, but we did want to see the ABBA museum and the vasa museum. Turns out our lack of planning led us to not sing the ABBA Museum. Next time ABBA. We did see the best preserved warship from the 17th century. It was built during the height of the Swedish Empire and sank during its first 20 minutes under sail. #buzzingaroundeurope #motorcycleadventure #sweden

If you are interested in how a 3 level canal lock works then this may interest you. 5 minute video of a 40 minute process for 3 boats to pass through. This lock is in Norway just over the border from Sweden. The setting and the process is beautiful. #canal #lock #buzzingaroundeurope #norway #boats

Local swimming hole shaped by nature. For us, a great first stop in Norway. Plus we get some adventure riding done with the Suzuki just to get there. To top it all off we find a boondocking spot.
Bunker Mules, Denmark

On the Western most point of Denmark you can check out the Bunker Mules. They are a fun stop when in the area. These are some of the 6000 bunkers that the Germans had built in Denmark during WWII. #buzzingaroundeurope #bunkers #WWII

A quick update on our travels from Ireland through Scotland and into England and then France. Trying to keep it brief. Long story short, we see neat things, meet, great people, and haven’t wrecked the bike yet. It rains a bit.

Just hard to miss reminders of World Wars 1 and 2 in France as we travel. It’s sad what people go through individually and as a nation in wars. It’s important to remember.

Loading bike on tilt trailer with Harbor Freight wheel stand.
did you plug it back in, or leave the connector disconnected?
I'd leave this bypassed. It's not like its running inside your house or trailer living space. it is a safety overkill imo
Woo! You went to the most dangerous country in the world now I’m from Taiwan We met on the ship to Finland and Porvoo We finished our trip then we are home now Keep following you Good luck
It was great to have met you too! Just the west side of Ukraine. Great people there. We just sold the motorcycle today and are waiting for our flight back home. I hope our paths cross again one day.
Just subscribed, great looking bus…are you around Arizona?
Not right now. The bus is in Florida for another couple weeks until we head to NY.
Nicely captured 👌 fantastic castle
Thank you. I’m still learning how to handle the drone with confidence.
"Don't be a dumb fucker, keep your generator in an open area far away from air intakes"
Looks like you guys have been having an amazing trip! I think the flowers you mentioned are Foxgloves.
I know you are having a great trip, cruising around on the bike. But this had to make you wish your Jeeps were there.
You ran into Shawno and the rest of the group from 4WD24/7
I think so. We tried to stay out of their way. I think they had a blown hub and bent steering that day.
Thank you, I’ve been having the same problem
The quiet is amazing, no electric motor that operates it.
Great video a place for war. But so beautiful an peaceful.
Great aerial video. Looks like you two are having a great time. Was it strange walking around that bunker. Looking forward to the video.
Thanks i have same problem on my 2000 predetor going to take it apart now and do some Fixing. just bought this thing nothing but restarting it over and over.
Great video. Excellent commentary
Thanks!
Sorry that we missed you but I don't blame you for not going further north the weather in Scotland this year has been awful cold and wet Look forward to further updates Enjoy the rest of your travels
Love rocks and caves so this was super interesting for me.
Where did you park the bus?
I think it was about a mile from the trail entrance. Free camping area off the side of the unpaved road in.
Love this. I felt I was sitting with you hearing your adventures.
Oh fun camping in the puddles. Always look on the bright side of life! Nice trip and enjoying the updates. What fun!
So much history.
I’d give yourself the day to do it. To go slow enough to enjoy and avoid damage. I think we started about 10am and finished about 5pm.
Amazing photos , love the drone shots
I used mine on the island for the first time Friday night. Same problem. Thanks for posting this up, saved me from a return the HF.
Glad I could help!
So glad y'all are OK. Keep up the fun and we'll keep watching.
Wow. Glad you are both ok. Safe travels the rest of the way. 🙏❤️
Have you considered the famous Monet's garden in Giverny along the Seine river
Hey guys its Ian here, I met you in Ireland at the Powers Potter campsite. Iv been following along on your adventures and have total envy, wish I was still travelling. Glad you both safe after the accident, love the shot at the end of the video, there no better medicine lol.
Hi Ian! We’re both a little sore today but I think a day of walking around Paris may have something to do with that too. We were sooooo lucky in many respects. If we had lost traction before heading away from the roundabout we’d had been under someone’s car. Sorry we didn’t get to reconnect in N.Ireland.
Those injuries will hurt more the second day! Glad nothing too serious and you're able to ride away.. That European rain is extra slippery!
We realized later that the asphalt was so slick that our vinyl rain suits didn’t tear after sliding on asphalt.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a beautiful trail. how long did it take to do the whole thing?
The CO shutoff system is a critical safety feature which can help to prevent the risk of sudden illness and death resulting from the accumulation of undetected CO, which is an odorless, colorless gas impossible for the human senses to detect. The health and safety of our customers remains our top priority and we recommend discontinuing any use of this product without a functioning CO shutoff system.
Then don't sell a product that requires servicing after having paying hundreds of dollars! Do you think I want to have to pay to have mine serviced every month because of this problem? No! People shouldn't be so stupid as to run it in an enclosed area or you should fix the problem...better yet offer free servicing for it every time it needs it! I'm sitting in 100 degree weather with a new generator that doesn't freaking work! Thanks harbor freight! You used to be my favorite store in the world! Not anymore! So I will take this advice before we die of heat exhaustion instead of carbon monoxide! 🤔
Harbor freight needs some strawberries and cheese to go with that whine.
U have got to be kidding us.
No way harbor freight themselves replied😭 that’s crazy.
Harbor Freight has been replying to all these videos showing how to disable this defective design. No way a generator running outside should shut off for CO. 😆 Disabled mine a while ago and finally have a useable generator.
Love the new sticker 😊 Beautiful tour
Love it. Goodnight.💤
I'm sick of the nanny state... Enjoyed the video.
I get it. We’re visiting Ireland right now. Their rural roads scream “don’t be a little b!tch” No guard rails, one lane wide, traffic in both directions, a 60 mph speed limit that, if you could find a straight section, would be certain death in the corners.
Finally able to watch a whole video, yay internet! 🎉. Looks like a great time! Love y’all’s banter ! ❤
It's videos like this that keep the world moving forward. Thank you Big Blue Hauler
What were some of the highlights of your journey just west of Cork, Ireland, and did you encounter any unexpected surprises along the way? Also, are you on Facebook / Insta? I'd love to connect and hear more about your European adventures and insights! Let's keep in touch!
We’re bigbluehauler on instagram and Travis Mattson on Facebook. Unexpected surprises were the tiny one lane two direction roads with crazy high posted speed limits. No one was driving as fast as the speed limit. Absolutely amazing scenery. Fun helpful people. For me highlights are almost always the people we meet and the stories they tell.
Anyone know what these towers were for? There's another like this at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, alongside an old church.
What I looked up said they must have been bunkers for the monks to retreat too. Bad shape for a bell tower I think. Also says the doors on the towers always face the west facing door of the church they were near.
Yeah, you'd never get a bell through that tiny door. It'd be like driving a donkey up a minaret.😅
So happy for you two having this adventure
Thanks!
wooooo
The castle, just imagine what it was like in its glory years.
Thanks so much for sharing!! Being a stone mason, the castle was my favorite thing to see. I can’t even imagine the effort it took to build such an amazing structure.
You’d love the Fastnet lighthouse that’s in SW Ireland . All the granite blocks were designed to dovetail into the ones around it. Like a big interlocking puzzle.
Awesome I'm so jealous!
My gen only had 9 hours on it when the yellow light was flashing. Bad CO sensor. Thanks for the work around. Worked great
Kinda pisses me off this CO¹ sensor isn't an optional thing with a switch to disable it. Just because 1 dumb vanlife liberal democrat died by not venting properly shouldn't mean 10 million people have to suffer sensor malfunctions... 🙄
Never a dull moment 😃
Where's the bike?
Looks like a great time!
Great representation! 😂😂
Thanks! I can’t hate on Florida and Orlando too much but… you just have those days sometimes.
Great video, in mine I used a piece of paper clipper cut it into two three side rectangles and then inserted them into white / green and black/white tape each to separate them and then taped the whole connector without cutting any wires. Its been working fine for the last few hours. Done.
