A Total Washout | Monika’s Biking Gear | Tenerife Diaries

Monika and I headed off to the capital of Tenerife- Santa Cruz, except not much went to plan!
Before we headed off, I show Monika’s riding gear for the day, to hopefully give all of the female riders some tips on the gear Monika rates highly and
wears a lot.

"This is really unpleasant..." Love your composure, Freddie. Hats off to Monika too. Great video

[@FreddieDobbs]

Trying my best to keep it dignified for the camera! Thanks🙂🙌🏻

[@alexgarrould5544]

Please always keep in the times when plans go wrong and things break and don’t work, for one it’s amusing but also refreshingly real and relatable. There’s too much of everyone’s perfect life on the internet which we all know is a lie!! Good job👍

[@FreddieDobbs]

I’m really glad you said this Alex- I’ll remember this. Thank you

[@louisjones2653]

Freddie, if you and Monika ever make it out to California you are welcome to tour the region on one of my Bonnevilles.

[@FreddieDobbs]

That is incredibly kind of you, thank you so so much, Louis!🙂🇺🇸 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@85PLD]

You have an infectious personality Freddie and never fail to deliver a great video, Monika's contributions don't go unnoticed either... 🙂

[@simonchristie4117]

Always love the choice of accompanying music ✌

[@_Just_Some1]

I would have chickened out in that petrol station until the rain stopped. Haha. Even if I had to wait until 23:00!! Absolutely hate riding in the rain. For three years I rode all year round to London, then when I changed jobs and stopped commuting into London I said to myself never again riding in the rain and also when it is super cold. So for about 10 years now I have not ridden in the rain (only the odd shower). Love your videos, you both are doing an awesome job.

[@Fudders]

After the intro @1:05, was anyone else expecting Freddie to do "Gear for the Day" wearing Monika's underwear? 🤭

[@magneticvision999]

You are disgusting, Some of us some here for motorcycling content, not for other perverted reasons.

[@TANOSHII1]

A less than perfect day but great to see you guys turn it around. Life's so unpredictable but it is what you make it and all important that you squeeze as much out of it as you can as it's a very short journey. Have to say how much I look forward to your posts 🙂

Beautifully said Gerry!!🙂

[@ZediMaster]

Interesting vid, freddie. Ride safe, god bless u both.

[@mmorlan1481]

Another great video. Thank you. I deliberarly ride in the rain and cold and fog on occasion for two reasons: - Skills. If I'm ever caught out by unexpected weather changes, I know what to expect and I have the confidence to deal with it. - Appreciation . If you have been cold, wet and a little unsettled, it adds a real extra sweetness to your ride when the conditions are great. Carry on with the brilliant job you are both doing . 🙂

[@FreddieDobbs]

This is a great attitude and I completely agree!

[@903lew]

2 years later I’d like to add a third reason; justifying the quite frankly insane amount of money that I have spent on waterproof riding gear.

🤣🤣🤣 Freddie's helmet security tips! It'll never catch on, followed by the vegan menu description had me laughing out loud 🤣 but still another great video including a wet t shirt competition displaying either a map of Africa or your love for Monika! 😆❤ (10mins 44s)

Great vid Freddie... real life on display! And an idea for a future video series: “Fairly Depressing Industrial Estates in the Rain”. I know some perfect ones here in Blighty!

As always we love your videos and a BIG - Thank YOU for reviewing Monika's gear. You guys do a great job reviewing motorcycles, cars scenery and food making it a pleasure to watch. We like how you're always getting distracted by something you see while your talking, makes us laugh! Nice job speaking too, not sure how you can talk to a camera without saying "umm" but you do. It would be funny to hear Monika behind the camera commenting to the audience when you do something funny, we keep waiting for her to say something, haha. Keep up the entertaining videos and we will keep watching. You two make a great team!

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Love the orange Fiat/Seat. Yeah, rain on motorcycles spoils things. I remember riding through France and a lot of Spain on the way to southwest Portugal one year in constant rain wearing a leather jacket and leather jeans. They took an age to dry out.

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

6 times visited Tenerife in November and 6 times it rained on us. But its okay as its warmer rain than in Scotland where we flew down from. Plus I was driving a hire car that had a roof.

[@niborski2997]

Hello Freddie and Monika, really enjoying your videos in Tenerife, taking me away from this interminable winter. I admire your wonderment, enthusiasm and intense eagerness about everything, so refreshing in a world full of negativity. Regarding keeping your helmet safe, I use a simple cable cycle lock that I put through the chin bar and onto the handlebars or rear rack. It won't deter the villain with bolt cutters, but will deter the opportunist thief. Happy travels.😎

[@stuartosborn4785]

I'll be checking the weather closely on your next visit because I'm over there on the 5th . Fingers crossed ! Interesting vid as usual 👍

[@leeandjancruise]

We have visited the Canaries about 25 times mostly in winter and in that time have always hired a car, my tip for days when one is not sure where to go on overcast days is to simply head for any blue patches of sky. Another great vlog Freddie, please clean your bike regularly and chances are you will come across loose or missing fasteners.

[@FreddieDobbs]

So true- there’s nearly always at least some blue somewhere on the island. And a very good point about cleaning/general check ups🙂👌🏻

I've not really found anything completely waterproof and nice to wear. Rain always finds a gap. At least you can only get so wet, sadly you can get colder, though rain and 20 degrees sounds good to me. Great video as always from you both.

[@henryhartley9993]

Nice one guys....

[@roberthardy2013]

When you get a Calima in Tenerife the weather can be quite unpleasant fora while but they rarely last very long. I have seen it running ankle deep down the main street in Los Gigantes before now. We used to just have a beer and reading day or find a quiz somewhere. I don’t know which is worse in rain - moving along or waiting in traffic. Generally the south / west is the better weather though. If you have one disaster in a day they just tend to continue.

[@FreddieDobbs]

We do the same- break out the board game Sequence🙂👌🏻

[@GeraldGarcia]

I'm not ashamed to say I'm a fair weather rider. I use two weather apps (for a 2nd opinion) and both have failed me a few times as well! I also use Forma boots (Legacy Dry) and I swear by them! Great episode as usual Freddie and Monika, keeping it real! The helmet hack was genuinely funny. 👌🏼

How old was the Mercedes camper van? Its wheels were no bigger than a 60s Vespa scooter!

[@roberthardy2013]

There used to be lots of campers on the coast between LosGigantes and Alcala until they re- did the coast path and put up a barrier.

Fantastic, Nick!!🙂. The T100; there is no better bike for a first bike or a forever bike, in my opinion. It’s a Labrador; incredibly tame and mild mannered and easy to live with. Low seat height means it’s easy to manoeuvre and un intimidating, and it’s weight is low down on the bike, meaning it’s much easier to ride than an Interceptor. To sum up; the perfect choice🙂👌🏻

Hey Dobbs - what helmet are you using dude ? looks like its full of water ..

[@Jean-de-lune]

I thought briefly you had transferred to the N Scotland with that type of vertical and saturating rain when you went up to the north of Tenerife. I'm not sure that Monika's gear fared any better than yours but at least the return to the sunny Sout helped the drying off process. Yes if you want to test some waterproof gear Scotland's the place although strangely recently it has been sunny and fair. In traditional Scot's terms that means we'll be due for some horizontal driving snow and gales. From a safety angle hopefully you got that wandering seat fixed before you or Monika or both ended up in a heap! The restaurant you visited made vegetarian stuff look platable! Our Christmas meals consisted of a fair amount of vegan stuff which was, frankly. off the scale in terms of 'degoutant' but that's another story.
