- I wish charging station provider would learn their lesson and put contact card payment on all their machines. It would make life so much easier! Who invented this chip business anyways. Whatever, I wouldn’t have had to charge if I would have known I only make 100 miles today. But isn’t this what traveling is all about? Meeting people? Learning about the country you’re in? I would say so! I had a great day even if I didn’t make it very far. I also made a little money on the side 😃 my first 10 quid👍🏼

Just recently stumbled across this great editing app for the iphone and i am super impressed and loive working with it. This is gonna be my favorite workstation and super practical for on the road editing.Love it!
apps.apple.com...
Final Cut Pro X
For this Video and for all the videos i do at home, not being out with the bike i use Final Cut since for me it was the easiest to use program with a very intuitive Interface and cool colorgrading options.
KineMaster on Iphone
Here's the link to the IOS App:
apps.apple.com....
Using the Iphone allows me to cut all my videos and clips on the road without carrying the laptop which makes everything so much easier and it's fun with the app;)
More about that and how i do stuff i will probably explain in future videos.

“Too much traffic?” On a motorcycle you’re not part of the problem, you’re part of the solution. Loving your content, Marc.
This.
@Peter Alexander Motorbikes takes up far less space than a car, you can park 4 bikes in a single car parking space. Let's not pretend they do not ease congestion.
As a German and someone who rides .. it might sound kind of weird... but I am so proud of you! You are conntecting with people while traveling and in the best way on ordinary roads. It feels like you are some form of ambassador showing that there are things which connect us all.
Britain's always been friendly to Germans - we had a German lady living in the next road when I was growing up. Heidi was her name and she became a teacher.
You can't tour on an Electric bike
You can't use an ADV helmet with a peak on a naked bike
You can't just use your phone as navigation
You need hard-luggage, or luggage racks to tour:
Marc: "Hold be beer" - Funny cuz he doesn't even drink beer. so double funny!
So many things I can’t do😂
Can't touch this! Oh no wait that's MC HAmmer
"BP is a bunch of greedy bastards" British Petroleum. Greedy, you got that right.
Hi Marc it’s lovely watching all your videos and all your travels .
Also lovely meeting you here at the Redhouse B&B, hope you had a nice stay with us.
Me and Estela will going to follow your journey around the world .
Take care and have great ride with your beautiful bike!
The people there are so friendly,continue making a lot kms and sharing it with us, cheers
Definitely get Calimoto and set it to winding mode on the waypoints.
Also you can set waypoints and plan routes from your laptop. Means you can pick the roads and towns you want to ride through.
I use it for years with most satisfaction. Often wonder how they find those exciting roads.
is a brilliant app!
They are nice to you because you are a nice guy :)
But I do feel they are nicer than I’m used to living in Germany 🫣
Us Brits are very friendly, and love people doing something different. Great footage, enjoy your tour🙏
The old timer with the estate and cars… just wow!
Great content, mate.
Calimoto is a firm favourite in our group of riders. This nav app is responsible for all of our best rides, including a recent trip to Germany!
Ride safe fella 👊🏽
Seconding Calimoto. If you are staying in an area you can set it up for circular rides and keep off of major roads (motorway and 'A' roads). Ashbourne is a great town, famous for its Shrove Tuesday (February) football which has to be experienced to believe.
Calimoto is great, I also use it for all my pleasure riding around London. Just select "windy" option and it will take you through all the nice little roads (if only sometimes too narrow and windy :D). The only drawback is that it's quite expensive, something about 9 euro a week or 49 euro a year.
When you get to the lake District ,, and you must visit there ,, there are 2 single track passes that cut through the middle , hardknott and wrynose 👌 they will give you fantastic content .. although in the lakes charging may be an issue ...the lakes in general is stupendous ..
Recommend Calimoto for maps and routes to avoid big main roads
Mark, if you visit the Yorkshire Dales, Hawes is a favourite place for bikers. Also visit the Tan Hill Inn. The highest pub in Britain. Great roads and scenery around there.
Hi Marc, you are so authentic and polite. Hope you enjoy your adventure as we do!
Your video is inspiring. It shows us the real England.
Thanks mate
Stewart had a lovely house, and car collection.. What a gent to show you his cars and offer you a cup of tea 👏🏼
I think that after seeing your brilliant progress so far on the Electric Bike, there is going to be far more interest in this type of propulsion……Way to go Marc.
Great video! That beautiful house deserved an aerial picture 😉
I am proud that we treated you well on your travels. I hope you enjoyed your stay.
Been riding for 30 years and I love all bikes. I think you’ve done an amazing enlightening job.
Es gefällt mir sehr gut was und vor allem, wie Du unterwegs bist. Easy going is perfect! Gute Reise!!
Excellent video Marc. Glad you like Blighty (England) as it's sometimes called. The Peak District will be lovely too.
Want to stay off main A roads?? Use TomTom or Calimoto and engage the maximum 'windy route' setting ... be prepared for some proper tight and wriggly little lanes though! Both will add hours to your journey time which could be interesting on an electric machine. Also be aware that Calimoto will put effort into trying to get you to ride through rivers, fields, peoples gardens, military property - basically anywhere you shouldn't be going - it can be quite an adventure!! 😂😉
Dear friend, people are nice when they meet nice people !!! .... It's obvious 👍👍
Calimoto is great for exploring the small roads. You can set how twisty you want the roads for every waypoint individually. I use it all the time to discover new roads around my home for day trips.
Adventure is all about the people you meet along the way and the experiences you get to share. Time well invested.
Great content, great editing, novelty stuff with e-moto, congrat Marc. Good luck on your journey. I enjoy these wideos, so you become my favorit moto traveller. Of course, after Noralys Itchy Boots. 🙃 But You know, shes more pretty. 😉
I am so glad the English are being so kind and helpful to you. I am in Germany right now on a trip and I also find everyone is so helpful. Safe trip Marc
Glad you are enjoying the UK , great filming
Loving the series. Enjoy the trip. I love the English villages and churches, although not a religious person. Your friendly nature helps you find friends everywhere.
Thanks for watching my friend 🤙🏼
William Clement Stone wrote a book called "The secrets of my success" in which he wrote " what the mind of man can conceive and believe the mind of man will achieve" ... I see this outlook on your videos... well done and thanks for your hard work... good content 👍👍👍
You always attract kind people 🙂
Brilliant !
Absolutely love watching your video Marc..Best thing on here 😀
Another great video Marc, glad you are enjoying your tour, I’m really getting to like the quietness of that bike
Super positive message. Keep on giving!
Wow thoose cars Lancia and Jag it was like you've found treasure. I like old cars and motorcycles :) I didn't expect that people in UK are so kind. It's always great to see that people like theese exists everywhere. 👍
Yeah many nice people here
Thanks marc for the great video once again I love the electric bike and this series keep up the good work stay blessed
If you get to England South Coast. 20min from the tunnel look us up. always a cupper tea a bit of grub and a stop over if needed. Great videos. 👍
Ten pounds & a cup of tea 👍 Loving the back roads approach. 😎
I was born in Grantham 72 years ago then I was taken to Australia with my family, and you know what , that clip you showed us is the first time I seen any of it. Of course I don’t remember that so thank’s for showing it 👍
So pleased people are treating you well. I hope you have plans to see York, Harrogate and Knaresborough.
Dude, amazing. So inspiring. I'm like a junky getting his fix of electric adventure everyday! Thanks so much for sharing.
What a great video! Plus all those great people you met along the way is a beautiful bonus! Safe riding. Hi from Quebec, Canada.
Great time with great people? Priceless :) i like it
Fresh coffee, new amazing video from you… doesn’t get better to start my day 😊 thank you ! Ride safe !
So nice video, thanks. So alive and not just a video for youtube.
Awesome 😎 you went through Repton!
1:22 look at the sky behind,Haarp antennas work there too.. So England is no exception..
Hopefully you get to see Wales and Scotland.
Very interesting watching the charging situation on your uploads.
👍
Hi Marc Glad we brits are looking after you. Loving the UK trip. i totally agree with you on the chargers.
I did a roundtrip in the south of England this summer. Went from east to west and back. I used the calimoto app on my phone, and it always sent you down the twisties. Only B roads, sometimes A roads, and sometimes very narrow roads that I even considered as "over the top"... I did not do any motorways and it was a wonderfull experience. England is such a beautifull place with it is little towns and hilly landscape.
Es wird immer besser🤙
Und dass Engländer nicht zwingend freundlich zu einem Deutschen sein müssen, ist grade bei der älteren Generation verständlich.
Umso mehr bin ich von dem beiderseitigen Umgang begeistert.
Wenn alle so miteinander umgehen würden, müssten wir uns um Kriege etc. keine Gedanken mehr machen.
Keep on rocking 🤙
Absolutely 🤗
This is old old history. There are very few people with resentment left. Most people are delighted that you made a choice to visit our weird little island.
The UK has a very multi cultural population, We all muddle along trying to make life easy for us all and that extends to everyone everywhere. Everyone is welcome to come and vist us over here just so we can prove we are easy going.
Very cool!!! The people and The landmark! Stay save and heathy!!!✌️
Will do ☺️
TomTom Go is pretty cool. You can really draw your road and it keeps you the main road. Love the content. If you come by Switzerland just let me know, you'll have a place to stay and a home meal. Stay safe.
Steward, what a legend 🙌
You went over Swakestone Bridge.. just a couple miles from my home )😎
Loving the vids and the bike. Ride safe mate and enjoy the Peak District. Awesome biking roads and tons of history. May see you out there 👍
Really enjoying this trip Marc 😀
I'm not surprised you like B-roads :) Those are my favourite for almost no traffic, wonderful views, lots of bends and just pure joy of riding on them :) Actually, it is this year especially I think, when plethora of charging points appeared in the UK. Some two, three years ego, such journey would be much more challenging, if possible at all, so bikes too :)
Thanks! always good information
That was click bait Mark. But I would have watched any way.
So glad you are finding my country friendly and helpful. I love Germany as well.
Going back in time, pub food used to be "something and chips". Over the last 30 odd years it has become very good. Fresh cooked, wholesome and generally reasonably priced. Beats the hell out of roadside chain cafes and fast food.
The UK roads are very crowded, and their motorway lane discipline is terrible. Keep to the smaller roads and enjoy. Guess that goes for any where in the world.
Awesome Marc, great to see you're enjoying yourself! 🙂👍
Well enjoy England mate ride safe, the fev rider.
Great to see your finding good riding roads and meeting friendly, helpful and interesting people. Hopefully it will get even better the further you travel through Britain
Brilliant videos Marc. Big thumbs sir 👍👍👍
Went to Matlock - but missed out on nearby Biking Mecca of Matlock Bath!!! One of the best locations in the UK - wall to wall bikes and good cheap food. Oh well!!! 🙃
I enjoy watching your adventures. Getting to travel and experience people in other countries. Exactly what I want to do.
Nice day you had man! Hope many are to come for you!
Your good positive energy is what attracts the good, positive spirits around
You must go through Glen Coe when you come to Scotland, look for A82 road going North from Glasgow, you will cross Erskine Bridge.
💙🏴💙
Marc, what a great vlog… good to see someone so enlightened by our Britishness.. we’re not that bad are we??lol have a great time and I’m looking forward to more content from you… Stay shiny side up 👍👍
You are doing great! Would love to try electric motorcycle someday.. Your editing and filming is very great! There is no dull moment in your clips.
Wonderful people. Awesome content. Keep it up Marc.
Whitby is a nice town to visit on east coast.you will love it..
Check out , hardknott pass in Cumbria , one of the steepest roads in the UK ,
HERE Maps (former Nokia Maps) is pretty good. It has more tiny roads shown than Google Maps and you can download a whole country map to your phone.
I think even @Itchyboots uses HERE maps.
I use this as well, very handy because it's good to use offline.
Brilliant series! Absolutely love the drone shots as you enter towns. Well done, sir!
your in my part of the world! Ashbourne is my hometown! could have popped over and used the house connection to charge up! it's a really nice area and so much to see and loads of history! super happy you had a good time, don't forget to try the ales!!
Great to see we are treating you well, great part of the country to ride and all of UK is steeped in history so you’ll never be far away from places of interest. Great content! Looking forward to seeing more 👍
Loved this one Marc, reach out when you get across the border, would love to ride along if your route takes you along the shores of Loch Lomond and up to Glen Coe 🙌🏻
Wow. Love it. I miss being in Europe, and the UK. The roads are lovely to drive on, and people are friendly, it's easy to buy food anywhere you go.
When you come to Ireland 🇮🇪 you should also visit Ashbourne here 👍
For a satnav, I recommend copilot gps.
You can avoid motorways, A Roads tolls etc. I use it all the time on my motorcycle.
For a more 'interesting' ride, I also use Calimoto. Specifically for motorcycling. This app is superb for suggesting back roads. Has twisty, winding and fastest modes.
You can plan route on PC.
Marc, what a great day. Distance doesn't matter. Having a good time and enjoying yourself is what counts. Looks like there is a Mind place across the street if you are feeling stressed (not that I think you are... lol). It's great being able to hear you so clearly while you're riding. Thanks for sharing ! I see you're in Bakewell now. It's really amazing how far you've traveled there in the UK.
Thanks Marc great video!
Again Marc, great man nice! Kindness will always be rewarded with kindness! Enjoy your adventure the fullest! Be careful!
Good work Marc..,....ride safe
Thanks 😊
Thanks 😊
Thanks 😊
Sooo strange to see you on roads I regularly tear down! Enjoy your time here.
ja Marc echt geweldig weer deze vlog en inderdaad de meeste Engelsen zijn echt vriendelijk en hoffelijk .Maar je laat zo inderdaad zien hoe mooi dit land is ik zeg er wel bij kijk uit op smalle wegen dat er niet plotseling een auto of motor je plotseling tegemoet komt . Groetjes Jos
I ,ve your videoz.... Keep on the great work.
So good to take your time enjoying and meet great people
Man was in matlock! Love it!
You could try CALIMOTO. Quite versatile as you can pick the type of roads you prefer.
You forgot an important fact about Grantham. The first 'heavy oil burning engine' was built there. To us all, the Diesel engine. Mr Diesel just improved it and made it more efficient.
Hey Marc, try to check out the book Bikers Britain by Simon Weir. He gives details of great UK rides. Enjoy your tour👍👍👏
B-roads FTW, always, Marc!!! :) :D
Glad you are enjoying your trip. I hope the weather holds up for you. Nice pace of travel.
That's the good thig travelling alone. Meeting people in a way that's hard to achive when travelling in groups.
