Hello again! Welcome to another Episode of my SOLO ride from the UK to Istanbul; Any questions about bike travel (solo or in a group) comment below and I'll get back to you!
Die Schweiz is probably my favorite place in the World. So much lakes, mountains and good roads. You just need to find proper time, when cars and RV couldn't ruin your trip
Yes boss, 5am coffee, cereal and a 16min episode of Motowaifu! The people you meet along the way are absolute gems. Ride safe and see you in the next EP. which by the way I think should be double the time!!!! Peace ✌️
What a time to be alive ey ;P .. Yes they really are, they are the people that make the adventure memorable! Haha I've had a few say this! I will consider it ;) thanks for the comment too! See you next week :D
That was beautiful Laura, some great views don’t know how you kept your eyes on the road. Saved watching until now so it could be my bedtime story as I knew the views and your lovely calming voiceover voice would help me switch off mentally
Thank youuuu!! 😊😊😊 ahhh good I’m glad you find it useful! You can deffo do it cheaper than I have done in this case though. It’s day 2 and I’m blowing through my budget. 😆 thanks for joining the live chat too!!
Another great one, really enjoyed the commentary throughout 😊 Watching your videos is really motivating me to get my full bike license and travel allover Europe!
Thank you! Ahhh you should totallllly do it, it is hands down the greatest thing I’ve ever done for myself. When I’m riding, I feel like I’m exploring new maps in game. 🗺️
Nice video! I am currently taking driving lessons, can't wait till I can do this as well. Really enjoying your content! You have a new sub =) (btw: anxiety when you were driving through the mountains on 1 bar of gas left lol)
Great video Laura. Your film quality and sound is great and your voiceover is very good to. I have problem with fast forward because of a inner ear problem, so i have to look away in those sections of your vids, other then that this was a great episode, keep up the great work! 😊
Thanks so much! I appreciate all your comments 😊🙏🏻 ahh I didn’t think about that! Sorry about that 🙈 there’s always a double speed in my videos but they don’t go on for too long 🙏🏻
I'm glad you filmed and allowed us to see the breathtaking views on the on the road trip in Europe. Thank you so much for bringing us along. I really enjoyed it. 👍👍
Thank you! Fingers crossed I can stick to my schedule and get it out next Sunday 😁 soooo glad you found that helpful!! It was the number one question when I wanted to start bike travelling….
Yessssss do it! It’s the best feeling ever! I can’t help with that one sadly :((( I had a friend do it and I had very little input in the progress! All I know is that the shade is called “hot pink”
@@MotoWaifu been looking at so many different shades and manufacturers of pink wraps! But that one is so nice 😁 Am a Norfolk lad so Watford just a tad far 😅 but thank you so much
Thank you!! Ahhh glad people are finding it helpful :) the number one question when I wanted to start travelling by bike was “how much does it cost”… the only problem is now - I was ignoring how much I’d spent on this trip, and now I need to face it 😆😆😆
In italy there are a lot of nice roads too, specially the one that overlooks the Amalfi coast (my favorite one for sure in Italy). Literally looks like the image you see in postcards, but in person! And a lot of bikers. And 110% of the time they will give you a hand signal to say hello =) They love their bikes there!
You deserve so many more views and subscribers! I do have a question though does it cost a lot to go across borders? And for someone who wants to go across the borders and explore can you explain the process you go through maybe in a video?
Thank you so much! Hopefully if I stay consistent I'll be able to achieve that! :) ... Okay so borders I will definitely come onto in about episode 6/7ish.. In mainland Europe, the borders are open, and a lot of the time you don't realise you've crossed into another country - but in the Balkans, where I'm going, that's different, and every border costs annoyingly...
I also have a website where I've spoke about the borders in my day blogs - www.motowaifu.com/istanbultolondon/solo-ride-to-istanbul-day-8 - WARNING SPOILERS ;)
So you are not the best in laying connections? The sparkly water bottle says “gasset”. And that hint for water with “gas” didnt you see? 😉 have a Nice trip.
so the place that you stopped for lunch is just down the road from me. Fun Fact, Former US president Bill Clinton stopped off at the same place. He had a Pizza and a coke.
I actually have a video of it on my Instagram - all the bike kit I used is also linked in my episode one video of Istanbul. When I got to Turkey I got rid of about half my clothing…. So no I didn’t need it all haha, I’ll be doing a video/blog on this to be clearer…
It is a Garmin Zumo XT2 - and yesssss it is MUCH more trusty… for one - I don’t have to have my phone on the bike, and two - I used google maps to take me to the Pyrenees, and there it took me off road multiple times. I have a great picture of it on my instagram though. I will never use a phone mount again.
@@MotoWaifu wow go yamaha. I bet everyone of them miles gave you smiles. If you planned to get another bike what would it be and would you keep the mt07 for nostalgia?

Great video, Switzerland is stunning - thanks for bringing me along with the ride! Stunning roads
It really really is! :) it overwhelms me every time! No worries, see you in the next one for the DOLOMITES :D

Thanks as always Mark :) haha it was hard trust me! :) See you in the next one :D
i drive motorcycle with a screen it takes a lot of wind away . i like that special for long distance .
I had one but I took it off because I didn’t notice enough of a difference on this bike 😢😢
Really enjoyed it, you make travel feel attainable by all.
Thanks dude & thanks for joining the live chat 🙏🏻🌸😎
Thank you for the video.
Those were some amazing views along the way!
Love the breakdown at the end for prices and how much you've driven.

Coming to Istanbul is the best. But we would like Turkish subtitles. 😂🎉❤
Ahhhhh noted! I will do this next time 😁😁😁
Another great video. 👍
Thank youuuu!!! ❤️🙏🏻🌸

No worries! Thanks for watching 😁🗺️📍
@@MotoWaifu its our pleasure
I don’t think I’ll ever have the confidence to do a trip like this on my own. You’re amazing to me.
Tysm, but you won’t know until you try it 🙏🏻❤️ I always get mega anxiety before the trip but when I start the trip everything falls in place 🗺️
Loving the vibe..as an English biker living in Switzerland...you capture it so well
As always, top quality content from your endeavour!
I really can't wait for the episode where you pass from Greece, my home country! :D
Thank you!! Haha yeah I think it’s going to be around episode 7/8 :)
another great episode. Now waiting for part 3! Also love how you put expenses, fuel, etc in these videos.
Thank you! Fingers crossed I can stick to my schedule and get it out next Sunday 😁 soooo glad you found that helpful!! It was the number one question when I wanted to start bike travelling….
Great video, Switzerland is a very expensive country, but I guess that is the price for beauty :-).
Yeah for sure :) I’ve never found a way to do it on the cheap side sadly!
Ah a goal of mine to travel Europe on two wheels!!
I also need to know the wrap you have used for your MT! I’m looking to pinkify my Hornet 😁
Yessssss do it! It’s the best feeling ever! I can’t help with that one sadly :((( I had a friend do it and I had very little input in the progress! All I know is that the shade is called “hot pink”
But the wheels I got powder coated in Watford, if you’re local I can recommend someone :)
@@MotoWaifu been looking at so many different shades and manufacturers of pink wraps! But that one is so nice 😁
Am a Norfolk lad so Watford just a tad far 😅 but thank you so much
Great video, really appreciate the cost breakdown as well !

What an awesome video Laura! Well done you, thanks for sharing such great trip, 👍👍
Thank u ☺️
When you said 7000 & something meters I was like really ? You meant feet, then I seen the sign 😂
Cant wait to head to Switzerland with you! 😍🥰
Your butt is going to fall off
@@MotoWaifu Cant wait to stock up on that fake tan mousse
😂😂😂😂
France A roads are brilliant
Agreed! 😄
In italy there are a lot of nice roads too, specially the one that overlooks the Amalfi coast (my favorite one for sure in Italy). Literally looks like the image you see in postcards, but in person!
And a lot of bikers. And 110% of the time they will give you a hand signal to say hello =)
They love their bikes there!
Sounds lovely! I’ve not made it down that way yet but it’s definitely on my list! :)
@@MotoWaifu I over 9000% recommend it if you are able to plan and go there. Very worth it!
Ok ☕🌹

Ooo OK thank you very much! I might have time wait to read that until the episodes come out :)
do they sell pink MT's or is it custom made?
btw for me you can leave those riding part in normal speed, nice views, good sound - very enjoyable
haha I wish! It is custom made :) Ah that's good feedback, I've had a few say this now :)
So you are not the best in laying connections? The sparkly water bottle says “gasset”. And that hint for water with “gas” didnt you see? 😉 have a Nice trip.
Nope, 100% not - I have almost zero common sense. XD Thank you, I will look out for that one next time! :D

mit kohlensäure = carbonated (mit = with)
ohne kohlensäure, still(es) wasser = not carbonated (ohne = without), still water
so the place that you stopped for lunch is just down the road from me. Fun Fact, Former US president Bill Clinton stopped off at the same place. He had a Pizza and a coke.
You need to get your boyfriend through his test and on the road with you.. Great content could watch you for longer ❤
I'd love that but he has no interest in getting into bikes and I respect that :) He'll just come on a few journeys with me instead!
What clothes/kit did you take with you?
Any you wouldn’t take next time?
Any you didn’t but would next time?
I actually have a video of it on my Instagram - all the bike kit I used is also linked in my episode one video of Istanbul. When I got to Turkey I got rid of about half my clothing…. So no I didn’t need it all haha, I’ll be doing a video/blog on this to be clearer…
@@MotoWaifu thanks for the reply, enjoy your journey!
What device is that you are using to navigate. Is it trusty enough for navigation compared to Gmaps
It is a Garmin Zumo XT2 - and yesssss it is MUCH more trusty… for one - I don’t have to have my phone on the bike, and two - I used google maps to take me to the Pyrenees, and there it took me off road multiple times. I have a great picture of it on my instagram though. I will never use a phone mount again.
Walking free?! You must've missed your walking evening pass! It's €2.99 to walk outside after 5pm in Switzerland. Luckily you didn't get caught! 😂
🥹😂😂😂😂
Question.. I believe you've had this bike for 5 years now. How many miles have you covered in that time? And have you had any issues?
No issues :) except the one in my most recent video but it’s really not that bad! I’ve done just under 70,000miles :)
@@MotoWaifu wow go yamaha. I bet everyone of them miles gave you smiles.
If you planned to get another bike what would it be and would you keep the mt07 for nostalgia?
I find you annoying to listen to have a nice day
I find your comment annoying to read have a nice day
🤷♂️
Love u x
@@MotoWaifu🫂
Easy solution mate, don’t watch it. No need to be nasty to someone just to make yourself feel better about your little D
