I love Jonathan’s quick and honest reactions. “Do you like this?” His “NO!” Couldn’t have come any faster! We have much in common! Especially too many people! 😀

[@DaveDayve]

U guys are something else!!! Wow what honesty, humour, just entertaining to treatment level. Thank you for having the balls to show your real selves in the video. Entertainment wise you created a master piece. Although you both have different tastes the difference comes out as an entertainment gift. Well done!!! Loved it both of you 🏆🏆🏆😎😎😎💪💪💪

[@matseriksson8347]

Jonathan is so hilarious. You must teach him about vlogging. I'll be a subscriber for sure. It would be normal to think us scandinavians to dislike big cities and french to love them. I also miss to visit a lot when I travel. When I was in Stavanger I was going to take a photo of my bike with the swords in stone in the background. Top crowded when I was in the city and totaly forgot that and escape to Lysebotn.

[@bradb2514]

On that strange vehicle we both said “What the hell was that?” at the same time! 🤣

[@GeneH339]

Jonathan, totally understandable. Everyone has their thing and we all should just respect that. So thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@RidetheBean]

Absolutely. It's good to be direct and honest. And we all have our things that we like and dislike. We can still be good friends 😛

[@mariorui3672]

Hi Kenneth I've follwoing your story since the beginning of the channel. Nice to see you in Lisbon and also liked the honest opinion of Jonathan.

[@RidetheBean]

Thank you so much 😊 Glad you like my videos ☺️ Lisbon is an interesting place I think. Lots of history there. Jonathan is funny 😂 he doesn’t hold back if he doesn’t like something 😅

[@SewGurl58]

I agree with you Kenneth, because I too see the beauty in new experiences. I think Jonathan is just getting tired of the traveling, and finds it all overwhelming. Some people are built for world traveling for long periods of time, and some people enjoy world traveling for a finite, well defined period of time. Seeing that Jonathan's end date is in sight he's more anxious to get back home. I've travelled with someone like that, once the forward motion is over and the return trip home has started every day that person would get more intolerant of every little thing. Rather than continuing enjoying the riding. Can't wait to see where else you venture to.

[@jo-justjo]

Guys , I thought this video would be just average , BUT, you made us laugh so much. Slyfox , we could see his pain and can relate. Scenery and off-road and open spaces are so much better than cities and history. When Jonathan said that bit about the 'bad joke and that one has to explain' ....oh that was really good. You are like an odd couple who have been married and argue , but in a good way haha. Well done. It turned out really well.

[@DaveDayve]

Spot on Jo loved it

[@teneretraveller8980]

We are all different, which is what makes life interesting. I enjoy other people's viewpoint, even if I don't agree. Personally, we love Lisbon. And we now have more coffee shops to visit. All places have their charms. Very good and interesting watch. Happy travels 👍

[@RidetheBean]

Hehe yeah I agree 😂 Jonathan just had enough of people and crowded streets I guess 😅

[@cyb9754]

Jonathan sounds like an empath. I try to ignore things to enjoy new places but it is exhausting. Lisbon does look interesting though. I would put up with being uncomfortable it to see it. Tfs :-)

[@perrydahlbergh]

Must love Jonathan, so negative 😂

[@louisevnliebenberg]

Jonathan is the best companion for YOU! You have become the most positive person since you start encouraging him. The role of mentor suits you well Kenneth!

[@RidetheBean]

😂 thank you 🙈 I’m not sure I would call myself a mentor exactly 😅 I just have one and a half more years of experience than Jonathan. But it’s been fun traveling together 😛

[@israelp.torres811]

Part of traveling is seeing new places and meeting new people, that is how Kenneth met Johnathon. I think Kenneth is very patient with Jonathon because he is too negative. I think that is why some adventure riders I follow travel solo, Charley Sinewan, Pedro Mota (although he is now riding in Poland with a female companion on his TransAlp), and itchyboots which was the first one I started watching. I don't think Jonathon could keep up with her. I also liked watching C-90 adventures and he and his partner splitup on their Alaska to South America trip when they got to Washington or Portland because of their different riding styles. she would make too many stops for photos and he wanted to make more miles so they split up on good terms. But to each, their own, I admire Kenneth for being patient with Jonathon, I couldn't.

[@RidetheBean]

😂 yeah we all have our preferred way of riding and traveling. I am pretty new to moto travel, so I like trying all kinds of things. I was very different traveling with Jonathan than traveling solo, but ai wouldn’t say one is better than the other. Just different. I had a lot of fun traveling with Jonathan. We got along pretty well and we became good friends. I think we’ll stay friends for a long time. We had a lot of good talks and discussions about everything, and we mostly agree on things. We just have different preferences when It comes to certain things. But traveling together one has to make compromises, and some days I challenged him to go out out of his comfort zone, and some days we did what he wanted and stayed in hotels or did other things. I think we worked well together and we’ll probably travel together again. I also like to follow all of those people. Haven’t gotten to see to much lately since a I’ve been on the road myself, but they are very inspiring to me. Itchy boots and Pedro mota were the ones who inspired me to start traveling this way in the first place. Although I have a loooomg way to go before I can match their guts and adventure lust. 😅

[@cdb7876]

I agree with you Kenneth! Life is a combination of experiences. All helping to shape your education. Lisbon looks beautiful and interesting. Johnathan should travel through the cities in China 🇨🇳! Lol! Millions of people everywhere!! I also think Johnathan is tired of his travels. Kenneth please continue your travels! Stay warm and safe!!

[@slyfoxADV]

I never liked big cities. I don't find it interesting but I understand that some people may find an interest in it. I don't necessarily have homesickness or the desire to stop traveling. Another point to take into account is that Spain and Portugal are not dream destinations for me 👍

[@cdb7876]

@@slyfoxADV : wishing you safe journey Johnathan!!

[@jakubpukovec7755]

@@slyfoxADV I try to avoid cities for slightly other reason. For me risks of an accident or theft are considerably higher. This is a risk of every capital or big city. The fact is I usually prefer calm countryside and wild camping compared to crowded cities or even smaller towns. Much safer and relaxing environment for me. Everybody is different which is good thing.

[@MAitken]

I’m with Jonathon. I hate lots of people and big cities. Give me the countryside any day but not cities snd especially dirty ones.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

It’s interesting to visit cities, but I’d rather be out in the countryside in a rural area. Coffee is certainly different all around the world I guess! Glad you found a few Coffee shops in Lisbon. Ride safe Kenneth!

[@RidetheBean]

Yeah I prefer that too. But I also enjoy seeing and learning about cities when I travel. And its usually in the cities I find the good Coffe 😝☕️

@@RidetheBean …. I hadn’t thought about it, but you’re right. The good coffee is probably always in the big cities.

A litle bit of Praça do Comércio history On December 1, 1640, the old square saw the end of the Iberian Union with the arrest of the Duchess of Mantua and the death of Secretary of State Miguel de Vasconcelos, who was thrown from a palace window into the Terreiro. In the earthquake of 1755, where the buildings that make up Terreiro do Paço are located today, there was the Royal Palace, in whose library were kept 70,000 volumes and hundreds of works of art, including paintings by Titian, Rubens and Correggio. Everything was destroyed. The precious Royal Archive with documents related to oceanic exploration, among which, for example, numerous letters from the discovery of Brazil and other ancient documents were also lost. On February 1, 1908, King D. Carlos and his son, Príncipe Real D. Luís Filipe were murdered as they passed through the square. In the 1910 Revolution, the square witnessed the landing of the Navy at Cais das Colunas to occupy strategic locations in the city. On October 5, 1910, in Praça do Município next to the terreiro, the Republic was proclaimed. On February 18, 1957, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom disembarked at Cais das Colunas, on her visit to Portugal. During the Estado Novo regime, some of the speeches by the President of the Council, Oliveira Salazar, were given at the windows of the ministries, namely on August 27, 1963, in a grandiose demonstration of support for Portuguese overseas policy. On April 25, 1974, the square witnessed one of the episodes of the revolution that overthrew the government of Marcello Caetano and the Estado Novo.

[@marionstravels6641]

Thank you for the tour!!

[@RidetheBean]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rootbox]

One can love to travel and not like to be around people. Except for the ancient buildings and history, all cities seem to look alike . I appreciate the cities. I love the wilds. Seems like Jonathon is getting home sick.

[@marymallia9988]

Hi Kenneth! As a coffee expert, what are your thoughts on weasel coffee, and also the need to pass brewed coffee through a paper filter? Thanks!

[@RidetheBean]

😅 weasel coffee? Do you mean Kopi lewak? If so then ai think it is terrible! First of all the quality is usually shit. Pun intended 😅 But the vast vast majority of it is produced by torturing animals through force feeding. So I think it should be talked about a lot more because almost everyone has head of this coffee, but nobody know the backstory to it. It’s expensive and in demand because of marketing, but like so much else is extremely unethical. What do you mean by “need to pass brewed coffee through a paper filter”? Do you mean filtering it twice? I’ve never done that so ai have no opinion. But a paper filter removes 99% of the oils and fats that are bad for your body. So I’d recommend using a filter for your everyday coffee. Just like eating bacon, it’s fine to drink unfiltered coffee now and then, but not every single day 😅

[@marymallia9988]

@@RidetheBean Thanks for the detailed reply. That answers all my questions. Just what I thought actually, but you have confirmed it for me. Thanks again, and happy motorbike travels. Life can't get better than that. Just keep you wits about you, and stay safe.

Built between 1731 and 1799, by royal determination, the Águas Livres Aqueduct constituted a vast system for capturing and transporting water by gravity. Classified as a National Monument since 1910, it is considered a remarkable work of hydraulic engineering. The completion of this work involved resorting to the Águas Livres water springs, which are part of the Sintra mountain basin, in the Belas area, northwest of Lisbon. The route chosen coincided, in general terms, with the route of the ancient Roman aqueduct. Its construction was only possible thanks to a tax called Real de Água, levied on essential goods such as olive oil, wine and meat. The system, which withstood the 1755 earthquake, is composed of: A main section, 14 km long, starting at Mãe de Água Velha, in Belas, and ending at the Mãe de Água das Amoreiras reservoir, in Lisbon Several secondary sections intended to carry water from around 60 springs Five galleries to supply around 30 fountains in the capital In total, the Águas Livres Aqueduct system, inside and outside Lisbon, reached about 58 km in length in the mid-19th century, and its waters ceased to be used for human consumption from the 1960s onwards. XX. The extraordinary arcade of the Alcântara valley, with a length of 941m, is composed of 35 arches, including, among these, the largest arch in stone, in the world, with 65.29 m high and 28.86 m wide. .

I enjoy your videos sooooo much and my older brother is very much like Johnathan and we work in the busiest part of London , surrounded by shops and theatres and everything that would attract a tourist , He would love to live off the Grid and run wild like a caveman but with wifi . But London pays the big bucks so he will just have to complain until he retires . I think its a combination of Claustrophobia and shyness so i will call it Claustroshyness Johnathan is probably now saying I hate this fucking English guy and i do find myself confused and disorientated when i am in a super busy London But my brother would Scream fuck this and make a move to get away and me well i want to find something to entertain me so i usually stick around to see what happens next Keep it going guys and have a great journey

Ok let Jonathan take you to a place he calls beautiful so we can get an idea and not 50 km in the forest mountains. We agree with that.

Haha but that's exactly the problem. I could never find any beautiful city. Nature itself will always be a cut above. I'm completely ok with having a strong opinion on the subject without even compromising on it. I just don't want to pretend otherwise under the guise of history or because you have to convey a good spirit on youtube (this social networks and this pale society makes me sick, everything is bland and looks alike). I don't give a fuck and I don't think it's a problem as long as I don't force anyone to think like me. And proud of denoted.

Hahahah Man, Lisbon has a unique light and context, has caos and is not clean and perfect but that’s what is interesting in things, diversity. I must refer people like yourself are responsible to the increasing tourist presence on the main towns and villages not only in Portugal but all over the world. So think before talk shit “I hate people, I hate it “ hahahah… Cobblestones is because Portugal is fking old and is kind of a staple of our sities identity ....

[@slyfoxADV]

I’m not going to refrain from arguing with a random on the internet for once. The only social problem I have is reading, hearing and meeting people like you. Why are you coming to attack me personally when I only gave my opinion on your city ? Am I not allowed to dislike it ? Do I necessarily have a lack of culture if I don’t like being in crowded tourist places where some people try to sell you drugs every 200m (yes I hate this people, that’s a mistake ?). And your shitty argument about imagining myself in India I’ll just ignore it… This is precisely why I don’t like social networks because people like you feel obliged to open their mouths and judge a person because they don’t have the same opinion as them and believe they know them on a 30mn video. So next time just skip the video and keep your sarcastic tone to yourself.

[@pbrajal]

@@slyfoxADV Thanks for the reply, you guys share your opinion on a video and comments are the only way other people can also share theirs. You can also edit the vídeo or take out the comment section to avoid reading crap from somewhat linear lisbon opinion. You are the one that opened the mouth yes and I never commeted on any other motovlog video before… As I said you are part of the reason those guys try to sell drugs (its recent) tourism does also this to cities and you have other kind of that all over the world. I also prefer riding in nature but I felt in someway judged by guys that know little about the place where they are. Pedro Mota never did that, if that is one of your refereces… you are as random as anybody else in internet so you can drop down your tiger white horse and enjoy life and the places you have the previlege to be cheers !
