Arrived in Valencia | Deus Ex Machina, an Electric Scooter and a Negroni

[@briangc1972]

Monika's artistic skills, videography, editing, and sound tracks have catapulted this channel from obscure to rising star status. Job well done, Monika.

[@travellynnireland]

Yes, well said 👏

[@fentonrigby457]

On board with that

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

It's Ironic, I live in Canada and North Americans are always under the perception that everyone wants to live in North America. After living here for almost 30 years, I can put my hand on my heart and say Europe is a far superior living experience. North America is all about how much you earn and how big your house is and how many expensive possessions you have in the garage. Europe is about the experience and friendships and enjoying life. Congratulations on the 100K subscribers both of you. Very well deserved!!!! Won't be long before the 250K then the 500K then the million comes along. The first 100K seems to be the hardest milestone to reach.

[@jmercader]

Congratulations on the following base and success. Started watching you from London, working a lot and no motorcycle. Now, I moved back to Spain, ride a Thruxton rs and own a business, but still enjoy your videos like the beginning.

[@faisalarh]

Stumble upon this video on my homepage, I still remember the first time ever watching your video was the comparison of old Triumph Bonneville and brand new Royal Enfield Interceptor. Automatically subscribed ever since, finishing then season 1 playlist video, whilst binge watching progress on season 2, you and Monica came to Bali, and excited to watch that episode, and I still owed had a lot of back episode to watch here. Cheers

[@mysterybiker1717]

Congrates on 100k and demonstrates if you are true to yourself and carve your own unique path, success will follow. Funny, sincere, informative, retro, good food, cool bikes, travel info, wrapped up in beautifully made artistic videos with perfect retro sound tracks. 101k people have fallen in love with you both and look forward to celebrating the double century sometime soon. You both deserve everything that comes your way, so much effort goes into these videos that we never get to see (maybe do a vid on that?)

[@FreddieDobbs]

Hugely appreciated, thank you so much!

[@5tevieb954]

Agree a behind the scenes video would be good !

[@mantarayal]

And now I've just realised that I was an early adopter of this fabulous channel. More of Monika and Monika's laughter would be the only thing I'd ask for :) Otherwise, the bikes (and the honesty about not being perfect and not knowing everything...god so refreshing mate), the cars, the presentation, the cinematography (Monika's eye), the places, the people....just love it.

[@emily_rosenrot]

Exactly that! Love this channel 🖤🤌

[@radicalcartoons2766]

One thing immediately jumped out at me about your relaxing shots of the evening beach scenes (lovely choice of music ), was how nice to see absolutely nobody walking along staring down at their phones.

[@JW20236]

This is quite common in Spain except maybe the big cities. It is seen as disrespectful especially if in company, combined with the love for life that Spaniards have means you will not see it as much.

[@FreddieDobbs]

A very very good point that I didn’t notice until you mentioned it

[@vevey75]

The Brits could learn to slow down and enjoy life more like the Spanish.

[@Mjbiker83]

The family gatherings beside the beach are amazing. Family values that seem to be lacking in our society unfortunately!

[@Jer0867]

13:12 They're playing boules, not bowls. Boules is not played on a green, but on a surface of fine grit, typically crushed rock or gravel. It's not played much in the UK, but is very popular in Europe. Still, yet another great video...and I LOVED that Transalp! They're like hen's teeth here in the UK these days! 👍

Oh Freddie, and Monica. Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers. 😃. My husband and I have little interest in motorbikes but we LOVE watching your videos. We first joined you on your trip down to Tenerife in the Fiat. You are interesting, informative, funny, endearing and every video offers us something. We’re in New Zealand and are so pleased when we see your latest video has been uploaded. Long may you continue. Very kind regards. We wish you continued success. Gail and Roy

Valencia beautiful city both old and ultra modern, I lived south of the city in a town called Xalo (Jalon) for about 4 years, some fantastic twisty in the mountains surrounding the valley of Xalo.

Me and my girl enjoyed Valencia this past june and had very similar feelings about it. Great alternative to Barcelona and still lots to see. La Pepica will be great - best paella we ever had. Enjoy!

I think the Continental GT 650 Ace Cafe “Friday night just had a beer or two” was the first video I came across. Been hooked since then. Thanks for every one of them. Congrats

Best bike Channel on KZbin ❤❤❤

[@Hen_nerz_90]

Hi Freddie and Monika. Congratulations on 100k. I got my licence 3 years ago and bought a triumph Street twin. I wanted to ride to the isle of wight to visit my grandparents so I searched for motorcycling on IOW and there I discovered your content. The rest is history! Following that, my partner started watching your stuff with me and as a result showed an interest in riding pillion. Then she suggested riding to Barcelona (which we did) and now we tour all over Europe, having just got back from a 3 week tour to Croatia and Montenegro (still on my 2016 street twin). Anyway, it all started with your channel, so thank you guys. Wishing you great success.

[@leew3211]

Been watching from the start ..Fantastic journey …. Fantastic couple .. fantastic enthusiasm.. best channel out there .. may the journey continue please. Lee

[@catherineunlimited]

Hola Freddy & Monica, loved your Valencia vlog! And congratulations to you both on the success of your channel. We love watching and following along with you both. We love your refreshing honesty and fun approach. We live in Javea (an hour and a half down the coast from Valencia) and we, like you, love the outdoor vibe of this beautiful, gracious city. We were nodding our heads when you described the obstacle course of legislation required to put any type of modified vehicle on the road in Spain. Our Royal Enfield Classic 500 (bought second-hand but registered from new in Spain) failed the ITV / MOT because of the factory-fitted running lights at the front. They had to be disconnected!! We also had to obtain an emissions certificate from Royal Enfield to get it through the ITV because it will always be higher than the standard accepted here. Our Toyota Hilux was imported from the UK. Again, a factory-fitted item, this time the rear fog light, was insufficient for the Spanish ITV. We've had to fit what amounts to an ugly red sandwich box on the rear bumper - nice!!! PS, don't know if you managed to get an Agua De Valencia cocktail. We found a quirky antique shop called La Bella De Cadiz that doubles as a cocktail bar and enjoyed one of those delicious (strong) cocktails there. Powerful but delicious! Keep up your great work!! Catherine & Adam

[@FreddieDobbs]
