Yay! But you guys are to polite, don’t apologize for xyz, I’m very happy just to follow along on your adventures. Video angles and audio isn’t that important, I’m sure you will improve, no need to constantly apologize. ❤
Thanks so much, we appreciate that. New chin mounts have come and already the filming is better from them, so excited to keep improving for you☺️
Totally agree
Brilliant video. So excited for you. Sound and vision were fine. Good luck.
Glad to see you are both "dressing for the slide, not for the ride".
The amount of friends you will make when riding, holding ride day meet ups to give advice to newcomers and the like. 👍
Yes guys!! Martha you did amazing. Felt the fear and did it anyway 💪 This is a dream of ours so can’t wait to follow you on this new chapter. You know to call or message if you decide to drive the Americas! We know you said it will be a long way in the future but knowing you two, you’ll decide in a heartbeat and be off on a big adventure next year 😍😅
Thank you so much!! Yes we’ll 100% be picking your brains, haha you’re catching on to exactly how we are, that’s so true 😂
You did absolutely fantastic Martha. I got my bike license at the age of 54. And thank god I did. It saved my sanity through our severe lockdowns in Melbourne Australia during bloody COVID. You go girl. Chick bikers are awesome. And remember always, practice makes perfect. And mistakes are how we learn. I made many and still do. I loved this video. Good luck guys ❤❤
Thanks so much, it means alot ❤️
Dear Martha well done young lady for passing your bike test it takes guts and mitch well done to you for keeping calm dude don't go camping any more book a static caravan it wod be more safer and warmer
I think you are doing fantastic Martha, and Mich will look after you.
Every one started at the bottom, experience takes time, you’ll get there, make you a better rider. Safe one
Well done! Took me 5 years on learners to get my full motorbike license so you are doing very well. Getting the license and doing the tests was single handedly the hardest thing I have done. Hope you do a motorbike tour (without the van) like you did in Vietnam. Keep us posted on your adventures and all the best!
That’s the big plan in the future, to go around and travel full time on the motorbikes so stay tuned👀
The rattle at certain revs sounds like the cam chain tensioner not putting enough pressure on the chain. Not a major problem but needs sorting as it may put unnecessary wear on the cam chain. Worse case scenario the chain could break or jump and that would write the engine off. Hope you get it sorted 👍🏼
I started motorcycling in 2004 and I think I was about your age then (Now 20 years older but still very young!) I started with ordinary streetbike. The first Norway trip I did in 2013 and first trip to the Alps in 2014. I was riding both streetbike and endurobike from 2015 until 2021 when I decided to sell my streetbike. Now riding Enduro (or Adventurebike) only.
I've had few times a proper training day about Enduro riding and even I'm getting quite often the feedback that I'm a good rider I'm still thinking that I have a lot to learn!! Luckily now I'm slowly starting to be old enough so that I don't think I have to ride all the most amazing (and dangerous) places... I think I will be very happy with quite ordinary rides and places.
But one thing I want to say to you is that I hope you will always stay humble about riding! Don't ever think "Now I got this, now I can do anything!" Even the best racing riders don't do that. They always think they have more to learn, they still can be better!
Here's one video for you to watch. It's a Nowegian couple about your age. They were trainig quite a lot before they decided to start the adventure. They started their trip from North Cape 3 years ago and this video is from the second day: czcams.com/video/eaxbMswyCEk/video.html
Motorcycling and adventures with the bike can be totally amazing and I really hope you will have all the great adventures ahead of you!!!
Best regards from Finland! GozaMite, the Linesman of TET Finland.
Has somebody been watching ‘Itchy Boots’ ?
Martha. You will be fine. Practice is all you need. Look forward to the upcoming adventures.
Thank you, practise makes perfect🤞🏼
she is doing very very well for not having any experience you just need to relax. just put some music on not to loud and go out by yourself and just drive, after about 1 week you'll notice a big difference in your confidence and will feel a lot better about your abilities.
Thanks, every time I go out my confidence is improving each and every time
Only 2.40 mins into this video. And wow. So cool. So happy for you both. What a life to have. Great stuff.
Wish you both the best 👍👍👍🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️
Thanks so much!
You guys rock. Traveling on two wheels is the best. Go slow, lots of stops, don't worry about trying to cover distance. Have fun.
You 2 are inspiration if you don’t like something you change it . Martha you are doing great. Keep getting out on the bike. I’ve been a biker for 36 years I think you’re a brave girl. I look forward to watching your new adventures
Thanks so much!
Go Martha! Love the biker vibe… you’re going to love it once you’ve gained some confidence, watch other road users very carefully, that’s where your greatest risks are. I’m excited to follow your journey together over the next few months. Xx
Thank you!
Well done Martha! It takes a lot of courage to get on a motorcycle and ride on the road for the first time. But as you grow more confident and the fear of riding recedes, you will begin to appreciate the pleasure of riding and travelling by motorcycle. There will be falls and mishaps along the way but I have no doubt that you will get up and continue. I look forward to seeing you both on two wheels again.
So very true, thanks so much🥰
Don't worry about what other people think it's your life enjoy it.
I've been riding for 45 years and sometimes I ride in walking boots and fingerless gloves. Utube seems to make people very on edge that someone will be making some negative comments.
That's the beast that's utube.
Relax and do whatever you want to do and enjoy the experience.
Film whatever you want to film and stop apologising 😂
Will follow your journey..sounds exciting.
I think you will find the sooner you are riding the CRF you will feel much safer on the roads.
Groms are great but small wheels and limited suspension have their issues.
Well said, Thanks so much ☺️
Really happy that I stumbled across your channel while looking for Vietnam travel videos for inspiration whilst planning my own trip! I've binged watched more than 20 of your videos now, from 2am (Singapore time) to 6am and can't wait to watch more tomorrow. As a fairly new rider myself and having done the Hagiang loop, knowing how dangerous riding can be, I don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable in letting my girlfriend ride on her own and even taking her bike license. I reckon I'll be worried sick for her safety all the time. At this point I would be definitely more comfortable with her as my pillion. But someday maybe I'll be finally comfortable enough to encourage her to learn how to ride and I'll definitely use this series to show her that's it's entirely possible for her to learn and eventually go on bike trips with me. Your content is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see more! ❤ from Singapore
Alex :)
You are doing fine.
I got back into motorbikes in 2020 buying a crf250ralley and also being short (5’6” 29” inseam) I did find that it felt very tall, however you can get a lowering kit for it, takes it down 50mm which may help with confidence. I also took the bike over to Groningen (the Netherlands) where i was working and after 6 hours in the saddle I definitely needed the rest (maybe see if you can get a comfort seat on it if you are doing long days.
Wind - on breezy days you will find that if you are overtaken by or overtake a big HGV vehicle the wind will catch you when you are clear, just be mindful.
Potholes etc - if there is anything in the road that is a danger, do NOT look at it, concentrate on the line that you want to ride to avoid it because the bike will go where you look.
Gear - you do not need all the latest technology, if you get layers, something warm close to the body, a jacket and trousers offering some protection and a lightweight waterproof store away jacket and trousers that you can put over when it is raining.
Phone mount - I use quadlock complete with charging head and vibration damper (must have a vibration damper so that you don’t damage the phone camera) also get the weatherproof shroud because strange things happen when riding in the rain.
Have a great time
By FAR my favorite youtube channel right now, reminds me of Top Gear or something
Thank you so much!!! This comment means so much🥹
I've done a lot of touring on bikes, and the best advice I can give is to stick with bikes that are physically small enough and comfortable enough for you to ride off road. I reckon Martha is going to struggle a lot on the 300, especially when it's loaded up with kit. The thing is though, you're on the road now! Nothing stopping you doing some touring of the UK as long as you avoid motorways, which is a lot easier than you may think. I knew a woman who toured Scotland on a CBT with full camping gear on a CG125. I would definitely recommend you doing a test trip on the bikes you've got now, especially if you're planning on carrying camping gear. Even if you can get your gear weight under 20kg it completely changes how the bike handles and how easy it is to ride.
Also I live pretty close to you by the looks of it, more than happy to come for a ride out and share what litle knowledge I've built up over the years of bike touring/camping. Could even organise a biker subscribers meetup? 😂
Honestly looks like Martha is doing absolutely fine, I had similar niggles when I was new to road bikes, and I'd been riding trials since I was 13. Definitely did better on the CBT than most do who haven't ridden bikes before IMO.
Thank you, we’re going to add the lowering link to the bike and a different suspension kit to get me comfortable on it. I really want to learn off road and the crf will be perfect for that.
Thank you, a bikers meet up would be so fun and something we should plan in the spring 🤪
Yesssss. Can’t wait to see the bike training and journey
Knowledge plus experience = WISDOM. Well done both and do take care of each other. xx
Yes! Thank you!
Congratulations Martha on getting your bike license etc and your doing really good while riding and talking etc 😢on your bike
Thank you!!
Gotta be honest, as a van guy…I’m jealous!lol 😉 I’d love to do something like that!! The places you can get to and all the tracks and trails you go on will be epic!! So much more freedom with a bike I’d imagine!
You absolutely smashed it Martha 👍🏼 fair play, hopefully your confidence will grow with more trips
I’ll definitely follow along… I’ve already googled CBT prices and trail bikes whilst watching 😂
The excitement when we’re thinking about all them places is high!! Just so much more you can get to on two wheels compared to a lwb van😂 thank you so much!! Hahaha join the two wheel club🤪🏍️
Well done you two, what a lovely couple! I'm from Leicester but now living in sunny South Australia, love hearing you accents, is that East Midlands? So, I've got a van and big adventure bike. The van is quite basic just room to sleep and fit the bike inside. You could, as an option (and what I'd do) is take it in turns driving the van and riding the bike, having just one bike between you. Then you've always got somewhere to sleep and a place to brew up.
Congratulations Martha, when I did my CBT I pulled away for the very first time on a bike and did a wheelie!! 😳😳
You’re going to love it, nothing like the freedom of being on a bike 😊
Hahaha that’s ace😂 thanks so much!
Hi Martha and Mitch, Great to see you both planning a new adventure. Just watched your latest video with Martha doing her bike test ,she did realy well. Hoping to do my motor bike test soon . Had an ap 50, years ago ,to ride to collage ,but never did my bike test.Shortly after 17 i did my driving test and had a car. Now i live in Austrlia with better weather i should get on and do my test. Love all the content both of you have produced, I'm sure your new adventure will be a great success.Even if your home on wheels has to be sold , im sure you will have another,most inportant you have each other, and your familys.Wish you well , and look forward to watching all your great new material. Mitch is a great guy ,and has a good sense of humor.Matha you are always up to try anything and give it ago well done. Bye for now Tim Melbourne.
Congratulations great vlog again very proud of you on new bike enjoy I can't wait to get back on two wheels again soon and good luck with your new travels keep well.
Thanks so much!
I got back from a four year, overland RTW in a 4x4 MAN two years ago.
Don't do it for charity, you might need to 'back out', Avoid pressure.
Keep plans massively flexible.
Light weight bikes, as Nathan of Dorothy's Speedshop, every time.
You've travelled so you know: research, dig in and never pay a bribe, use mapsme, ioverlander, Barclays Visa Platinum Travel card (credit), Chris Scott's Overland handbook, pepper spray (Germany).
thanks for the tips!
Good luck with everything and look forward to watching your journey.
Thank you so much!
My thoughts.. I would keep the van and buy one duel sport bike and rent another one. Travel for a while on the bikes, then travel for a while with the van and a bike on the back. Back and forth for a few months at a time. For me personally, as a viewer, I prefer van content, even though I own a van and a duel sport.
My wife and I enjoy your channel. Do whatever makes you happy, and everything else will fall into place.
Thank you, I think we’ll see as time goes on what’s going to fit best with us and we’ll go with that and just hope that it’s still entertaining and enjoyable to watch😊
OMG! How absolutely brilliant! Martha is a superster, she is doing so well. I really wasn't expecting your decision, I thought maybe you'd just be taking the Grom along with the van in future, but you'vemade the best decision ever! I've been riding all my life and it's the best way to travel. I live in Croatia where I host off road riders from all over the world here in the countryside where there are fantastic trails all around. If you do come through Europe on the bikes, please do get in touch and I will happily host you and take you out on the local trails which are amazing. My top tip for Martha? Slow control. Really focus on that and you'll be all good for the difficult manoeveres in the tests com ing up and for off road, slow control is super important for avoiding drops on the rough trails. I'm really excited for you both and totally hooked now on your channel, which I've really been enjoying up until now anyway.
Thanks so much!! Ah that’s sounds epic, thanks for the offer!😜 we’ll keep you updated on when we’ll be passing through. We loved Croatia last time we were there in the van!
Thank you, I’ve been practising for the past couple of days with the slow stuff and posted on insta some of my progress too, it’s coming together bettter now 🤞🏼😊
Nice bike Martha! looking forward to the tour with the bikes on a trailer. future plans: Not another motorbike only adventure channel in my list pls!
Thank you☺️
Excellent well done Martha ! You are doing fantastic. I know how you feel as i did a 5 day access course at LDC in Burton from never riding before. Best thing i ever did !! You and Mitch i wish all the best for your exciting bike journeys ahead !
Ah no way! Thank you so much🥰
I Think we might live in the same town 😂 . Well done Martha, welcome to the lady bikers club xx have fun you guys x
Hahaha no way! You might see us out on the road😜🏍️ thank you 😊
First of all the sound wasn't bad at all. I personally would prefer more van life videos, but the same time I'm really excited about what your future adventures are going to offer. Seeing all your videos I'm sure we'll see some quality content, doesn't matter if you're on 2 or 4 wheels.
Here's a fun fact. I follow you guys as well as Overlanding Sophia and by mistake I posted this comment under their video at first...😂
Thank you! Haha that’s so funny😂😂
Hi guys, dont worry about that rattle on the crf, I had the same with mine, between 5- 6k revs then it goes away. Characteristic of the engine. Best of luck with your travels. X
Good to know, thank you!
Great video again guys. I was impressed with the quality of the audio so don't stress! I've been riding since I was 17 (20 years) and it's the best feeling and best way to experience places so you guys will have the best time! Take it easy and enjoy it!
Good on you both and yes I’ll be watching, I’ve been riding from 50cc to 750cc and it all comes with practice and experience 👏🥳
Thank you!
Well, Done Martha I think you’re doing really well. I know it’s expensive but you should really buy the proper leather gear to protect you in case something happens. I look forward to seeing more of you riding your bikes, especially if you go abroad and I know it can’t be easy riding a bike. On these roads full of potholes, it’s bad enough in a car 👍
Thank you so much! Yes we’ve got stuff ordered and are just waiting for the arrival and always looking on vinted. Yes the pot holes are shocking!
This was a fun video! But it seems like all your videos are fun Martha and Mitch. I don’t think most of us care about the audio quality or the video quality or the bibs & bobs of problems, just go with the flow & try to enjoy yourself. Yes definitely someone also said it: don’t try to apologize so much. I love your stuff! 😊
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it❤️
Great developments!! 🙏. Look forward to seeing the bike trips!!
Can't wait!
Good teamwork guys, good support mitch, I think Martha's going great Confidence is key and don't trust car drivers at all! As an idea ADV China channel the early videos with them riding around China... were really good maybe there is something you could take away from that. Good luck stay safe
Just found your channel and I am a motorhomer……and boooom you are getting bikes, I am also a biker result 👍
Sounds like the perfect match🥰
Absolutely brill idea, try not to sell the van.
Martha well done you, you really made that look easy I'm tempted to try myself.
The New Mr & Mrs Itchy Boots.
🤭
Hahaa I really don’t think I do I was so nervous 😂 let’s see how it goes 🤞🏼😝
1. click random video from youtube suggested. 2. oh that's a familiar CBT centre, i went there too!
Hahaha no way! Thanks for watching😃
Well done Martha- very brave and you'll gain confidence with each ride.I am sure you watch Itchy Boots already but she will give you great ideas.Mitch ,I've got a few on you and I would embrace the grumpy righteous ageing man .Give it a few years and you will be lobbing that rubbish straight back at the vendor , hell, you'll probably even bash out a trip advisor review when you get home. Exciting times , can t wait to see them !
Thank you, yes we love Itchy Boots! Haha times are changing for Mitch😂
My wife and I ride. She's been on and off over the years. I could say you don't need advice and will be a natural but in truth after 40 years I still learn every ride.
*You go where you look*
*Don't target fixate*
*Power can get you out of trouble*
*Learn to countersteer*
Stay safe both of you 🙏👍
Thanks so much, great advice. I’m looking forward to learning more and more each time
It was the Vietnam trip that made me subscribe and although the van trips were great they were nothing compared to that trip.
Exactly how we felt, hoping combining the two will be the perfect mix🤞🏼
Just found your channel, you’re about to live out my dream! I’d love to travel overland by bike! I don’t think you have anything to worry about with the sound quality, background noise didn’t sound too loud to me! Good luck with the trip, will be following along!
Welcome aboard! Thank you😀
Yes Guys, So having toured loads of Europe the early part following MotoGP with the transporter and R1 then KTM in the back this is right up our street. I would say first trip keep it fairly short maybe the Mosel near Cochem in Germany, there’s loads of campsites next to the river and lovely safe ride along the river up to Koblenz. Keep it pretty simple at the start then you could build up your the Dolomites where you can park up very cheaply and pull the bikes out. You know the roads as you’ve been there. We follow a Dutch woman ( Itchy Boots) she built up to some ridiculous journeys and you might get a few camera tips of her. Good luck and most of all be safe. Geordie, Kate, Dylan and Dutch x
Thanks so much. We love itchy boots and hope to try and make videos as good as hers one day🤞🏼 we’ll be reaching out as we go along the journey so it would be good to get any places you recommend written down. Thank you!
Keep it simple for a while, If you do Cochem along the Mosel you can actually ride up to the castle around the back and it’s a great view from up there. As you will have a bike trl It might be worth paying for campsites to start with, there are loads along the river Mosel, Zell is worth a look too it’s a lovely area and you can pretty much get very close all the way on the autobahn, from there you can drop down the Rhine and so on as you prob already know. Good luck we are looking forward to your bike adventures. Use your mirrors before turning Martha I almost got wiped out like that once but generally it’s safe as, when you step up to the knobblies be careful as the tires won’t have grip when it’s wet, easy on the front brake. I’m sure Loads of people will tell you this but I had to figure it out like most the hard way. Good luck guys x
Another great watch well done on passing your cbt and so the adventure continues looking forward to whatever you both plan 🏍🏍😎 oh and mitch you should have taken them cold peas back and complained 100%👏👍
Thanks so much!!
This is so exciting, Martha you are doing amazing, looking forward to watching you progress to you full license, and your future adventures. Ride safe both of you.
Thank you so much!
Im so happy to see some biking adventures! Excited for more! Ypu did so well Martha! I did my CBT in 2022 and still not used it! This has inspired me to try and get out on my own bike! As far as future adventures i highly recommend the NC500 in Scotland once you're a bit more confident on your bike! It's so beautiful 😍 if you would like some amazing camping spots let me know! 😊 good luck and enjoy! 🎉
Thanks so much!! The NC500 is sounding like the perfect first big road trip for us in the UK!
Definitely worth it! I suggest going counter clockwise, starting on the east as it's so much prettier and dramatic on the west and the best way to see it!
That's a beautiful area for motorbiking - the Derbyshire Dales. I think I would be as nervous as Martha though. Bicycling or walking is more my pace!
The Derbyshire Dales are so beautiful and on our doorstep!
Absolute love it you two are so inspiring pure gold and for them chips should have chucked them at them lol 😂 take care.
Haha thanks so much!
Ha ha you just gone through my home town - Uttoxeter !! Well done Martha - welcome to being a lady biker !!
Our home town too🤪 thank you!!
I am downsizing from my caravan to just having my Transit van, I normally have 2 bikes in my transit and tow the caravan but now it will be just one bike in the Transit and I have made up a bed, fitted a small fridge and power station, just the basics, hopefully it will give me more travel options here in Australia.
Towing a caravan that is 19’6” and weighs 2500kg is not fun, but to a degree living off a bike can be frustrating at times, cold and wet not fun and extreme heat not fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do, fun is where you find it, motorcycle travel is the best travel but it does have its negative side, battling through bad weather and bad roads make you dig deep, unlike a van when you can just stop and jump in the back to rest or sleep, on a bike you have to keep going , and sometimes that ain’t easy.
Martha , please always remember to do your find “life safety” turns of your head when pulling away , particularly at junctions & leaving roundabouts , when watching you , you don’t appear to be doing this but that might just be the camera angle , enjoy & safe travels guys 😃
Don’t worry I’m doing this loads as it’s something I need great practise for my test. It’s just because the go pro is on my chest so you can’t see me moving my head. With the chin mounts you’ll be able to see this moving forward, thank you
Remember.... Buy and wear the best clothing you can afford. You cant get your cheque book out as you are sliding down the road !! Besides ride with the lights on. *One tip is Always have two fingers covering the brake and the clutch*. ;-)
Yes absolutely, we’re getting more and more gear and waiting for it to arrive
@@TheJammyGitsWhat about a modified Zorb Ball that Martha can sit in as she rides? Gotta look after the girl x
Great idea! Get Martha on a week long DAS / intense course. She'll pass no problem. Bigger bikes are easier to ride IMO.
Can't wait to see you guys explore. How about a Norway / Sweden adventure too?
She’s all passed now after a 3 day DAS course, you can see that in our more recent vids!
We’d love to do the TET from the North all the way South to South Africa!
Martha is riding well 😉 keep it girl
Thank you😜
Well I wasn't expecting that news! Been watching you guys for ages. Martha I can't believe you are already on the road. Get the most protective leathers you can. Be visible. Can't wait to watch your new journeys, you are sensibly taking your time. Brilliant!
Thanks so much!
I watch because it’s you not the van life, I enjoy the adventures and this looks like so much fun. Martha looked great for her first few rides out and the idea of a North to South America bike trip will have me hooked. Content was great, not sure what you meant about the noise it’s a bike? I guess you feel you can improve things. Happy watching Martha’s progress until you’re ready for the next big adventure. Your content is special and I hope your audience finds you quickly.
Martha your a superstar 😅 you go girl you rode brilliantly….. and while you have no children go and experience everything you can… I absolutely love the pair of ya 😊
Thank you so much!!
Hi guy’s you’ve done well Martha 🎉 congratulations on passing so far, I will endeavour to keep following you both because I feel like I know you both now and you feel like family lol, but to be honest iv never been a fan of motor bikes I did have one when I first left school many years ago now until I passed my car test, and the reason why I followed you and subscribe to your channel is because of van life 🚐 I fully understand about needing to jazz up the channel to keep it interesting but I worry you might lose subscribers when you sell your van and go full time onto bikes 🏍️ 🏍️ but heck what do I know lol 😂 I wish you both well with your new adventures and safe travels x
Thank you! We’ll be keeping both for a while and we’ll just see how it goes and hope the videos are still just as entertaining🤞🏼 who knows what will happen!
Fantastic plans
Towing trailer behind the van
My thoughts keep the van as well there could be those days or weeks you fancy a van holiday
And you can always fly to Vietnam and ride bikes
Thanks! We’ll see what the bank account allows for at the time I think haha
Well done Martha🙌🏻
Thank you🥰
Do whatever makes you happy, let life take you wherever it leads. More than happy to follow and see whatever happens next.
Thank you so much❤️
Brilliant,is very easy to get a bit complacent when you get the hang of it,always be ready for(I didn’t see you) motorists!Dont be put off if you have a little tumble,maybe when maneuvering,we’ve all done it!riding a motorcycle is great fun,you’ll love it shortly!
Yes of course, got to be patient with the process and enjoying the ups and the downs! Loving it more and more each time!
Sounds like a good plan - and the little CRFs are a smart choice. Maybe check out one of Austin Vince's events for a bit of big trip preparation? Best of luck out there 👍👍
Thanks for the tip, we’ll check it out! Thank you😊
As a motorcycle traveller myself, who also did Vietnam on a motorbike, I can't wait for your new adventures! Ride safe 🤙.
And Martha, you'll be completely fine, just get some miles under your belt.
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome you are both doing bike vids now, and we'll done Martha for passing her CBT. I had a CRF300L, great bike, sips fuel - btw that rattle you had is very common on them, around 5000 rpm. Had it on mine too. Nothing to worry about apparently.
Thank you and ah ok that’s good to know, cheers
I did my bike test in my 40s 69 this year getting back into it stopped riding start of covid .Hoping to combine campervan and bike like we used to years ago .
Amazing!
You did great, Martha! I think a trip to South Africa would be absolutely amazing.
Thank you!! It’s a dream of ours so I hope we can make it happen🤞🏼
I am in South Africa. Let me know if you need some help with anything.
hmm motorcycling, it gets addicted quite fast, hello form Vietnam. it's kinda funny as i'm watching episode 6 of your Vietnam road trip and seeing your some of your latest videos are motorcycle related.
Love this, can’t wait for more adventures…… Mitch giggling away at Martha getting blown around in the wind 😂😂😂😂 it’s all experience and she’ll pick it up in no time.
True love at it’s finest 😂😂
Well done on passing your cbt.The best advice is that you double check before moving off anywhere. It's the best pastime ever.The biker community are fantastic. Don't hesitate to ask them for any advice.Enjoy and be safe.🏍🏍
Thank you, yes I’m getting into practise with that for my test and in general too. I love the bikers nod on the road feel part of the community😂 thank you!
Well done, Martha. You need to believe in yourself more. You've done amazing. ❤
Thank you so much!
awesome... look forward to the adventures
Thank you!
WOW this is going to be EPIC. Martha you're sooo brave and you're doing awesome👍. You will get even more confident each week... Ride safe both of you and remember to have fun.. atb Dixie❤
Thanks so much!❤️
Very cool plan, and well done Martha for smashing the theory and CBT! Loads of practice and you'll get your full license no problem. Can't wait to see more of you two bikers, it is such a great way to travel.
Fingers crossed! Thanks so much!
We hope to see you in Morocco one day.take care
I started following you guys on the Vietnam adventure. My wife and I did the 4 day Hai Giang loop in N Vietnam. I put my wife on the back of our tour guides bike. I think getting your motorcycle license is a good plan
Thank you, excited to be back on two wheels!
Hi guys, I know it might be a while off but being a South African and having travelled in Africa I think you guys would really enjoy it! Another great video, you guys are getting better every week.
All the best :)
That’s great to hear!! Thank you☺️
Cracking job. There's nothing quite like riding a bike :) you'll love it, it does get easier once you get a slightly larger bike, gears are more forgiving and you don't have to work a slightly bigger bike quite so hard. Looking forward to following your biking journey(s)!
I think your plans are great, looking forward to seeing them grow. Martha, you are doing brilliantly, especially for only your 3rd time out on the road. Much better than I did that’s for sure.
Thank you so much!
just found your channel, subbed... Martha is doing great for a beginner, it just takes time for everything to drop into place... good luck to you both, on your adventures 😀
Awesome! Thank you!
Martha your bravery rocks! I think your videos are great no matter what you show. You have a good vibe between you ❤🎉
Thank you so much!
Glad I found your channel. two of my interests covered :). I would happily stick a crf on the back of my MH but I fear that I would get lonely. 😁
Haha that’s amazing! Thank you
Love the idea especially because of how hilarious Martha is on the bike 😂 we’ve been chuckling the whole way through the video. She’s brill and a proper go getter. Can’t wait to see how you integrate van life with the bikes!
The nerves were real😂😂 thank you so much!
Yeah Martha done well, she just needs more saddle time
First 10 minutes im thinking
No no no
The van is amazing
Last 10 minutes
Im thinking yes yes yes
This is going to be epic
Good luck
With this
I think you will smash it
❤
This is the best comment ever🤪 and exactly what we’d anticipated happening and glad you’re excited for it! Thank you 😊😆
❤️thank you ,
for your fantastic videos week in week out
Can't wait
Welcome to the club!
When I saw you guys were building out a van, I started watching your videos, but whilst waiting for new uploads I watched the Vietnam series and really loved it.
Your bike trip made the videos seem ever changing so I can only see a positive coming out of this.
May all your plans come into fruition 🙌🏻
Thank you so much🥰
Great to watch and hear about your future plans guys. Love seeing your life journey unfold. All the best Martha with your riding and hopefully getting that test passed ASAP. Just wish I was 30 years younger and having my great life so far, start all over again. Keep up the great videos. Regards Rob
Thanks so much Rob, fingers crossed🤞🏼
