Marvelous. One of the best motovlogger I know. Just continue

[@SeanandEmily]

Wow! Thanks very much! Glad you enjoy the Channel 😎🙌🏻

We really enjoyed this video. We traveled the area you are in back in 2017. It brought back some wonderful memories. In 2015 we were exploring in the Doolin area south of Galway. At the end of the day we decided to visit a local pub where there was entertainment. The entertainers asked if there were travellers in attendance so my wife and I put up our hands. We were asked where we were from we responded with Calgary, Canada. The singer said they knew a wonderful Gordon Lightfoot tune which they sang. Made us think of home. A lovely touching moment of our ride.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, thanks very much for commenting and great to hear you enjoyed the video. So nice to hear you had an amazing trip here too and we love that this brought back fond memories. That must have been a great night out and the perfect way to finish a day on the road! Here’s the full playlist incase you would like to see the rest of the trip 😎👍🏻 kzbin.info/aero/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zUtFe7yIi6rO-2-k465D31&si=FdgBbBzc4M4BUUog

Loved the tiny coffee shop ❤

[@SeanandEmily]

Coffee shops are one of the highlights on a trip for us, they don't take too much time or money and you get to meet nice people and take a few minutes to appreciate where we are 😊...oh and the coffee is great too 😂

[@LKESBO]

@@SeanandEmily im addicted to caffeine so badly,, for me the best ones r the ones in gas station especially in Spain 😅😅 quick double espresso less than 2 euro and it hit the brain directly 😂😑

[@FxRiderST]

From your videos, I like your Corsica trip much more.

[@SeanandEmily]

okay, any particular reason? -although Corsica was really epic too 😊

[@FxRiderST]

@@SeanandEmily The mountains, the sea, the endless twisties, beautiful nature and scenery, the charming French towns and a warmer climate... What's more to ask for? :)

[@PaulBrennan-rk4yq]

Beautiful scenery .I was there

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah it really is beautiful! Hope you enjoyed it too 😎👍

The colour of the water was unbelievable 😊

[@brianfarrelly7151]

I rode the northern half of the Wild Atlantic Way in May 2018 and loved Roundstone - stopped for lunch in the other cafe on the opposite side of the road and was blessed with six days of sunshine. However, it rained heavily on the seventh day when riding back to Dublin from Malin Head - not what I wanted but to be expected in Northern Europe. In all my years cycling (the good old days ), I never explored the wilds of counties Galway and Mayo but was fascinated by them both on that recent trip. Great camera work, marvellous scenery and enthusiastic commentary from you both. I trust that Touratech is enjoying the coverage. Thanks again.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Brian, that's great to hear you have also experiences this wonderful area! Roundstone is the perfect place to stop for lunch. 6 out of 7 aint bad 😊, we were also really fortunate with teh weather although we were prepared for rain it stayed away the whole time we were in Ireland. Thanks very much for your kind words of encouragement - it really means a lot to us to get feedback like this. Yeah i think they are as are we grateful to them for providing us with such great gear. Thanks for watching and catch you in the next episode 😎👍

[@martinhughes9769]

Looks an amazing place Galway, nice bit of local history thrown in, more stunning scenery 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah it's a great city! Lots going on and plenty to see and it's a very convenient stopover with lots of great rides nearby. Thanks for your comment 😊👍

[@johangullberg66]

Looking at that breakfast made me hungry 😂 I just love the small villages along the route. You really capture how it would feel to be in place(that was straight on translation from how i would say it in swedish) 😂 As always very enjoyable video and i´m a sucker for thoose drone footages.

[@SeanandEmily]

In fairness this was a good breakfast! 😂 Yeah the little villages are great and the roads connecting them really nice to ride. Actually that translated really well! 😉 Thanks, yeah the drone is one of those things that it's sometimes an effort to stop and use but afterwards we are really happy we did!

[@mikerider58]

Fantastic trip, welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much Mike, we have felt very welcome by everyone that we have met. Fantastic people and beautiful landscapes have made for an unforgettable experience 😎

[@timcully4706]

Great film again Sean & Emily, nice to see the walk through Galway, and the route west through Roundstone heading to Clifton. The 1st cafe you passed, opposite the Harbour makes the most amazing Sea Chowder if you like fish soup 😃 I didn't know I liked fish chowder until I tried it there, It's such a pity the sun wasn't out for your ride, as Connemara is so beautiful in the sun. At least now I know the roads you are on as I have been on many biking weekends to Connemara, The sky road is great and I am guessing you may have ended up in Leenane/Leenaun Village when you drove the road by the Fjord. Brilliant video as ever and looking forward to Sky Road and Fjord, both of which I have rode many times 😃

[@steviegraham7194]

O'Dowds Restaurant top food, best Guinness in ireland is just up the road at King's bar 😉

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Tim, thanks very much. Not really fans of Sea food but hopefully someone else might visit there and like it 😊 The color of the water in this area is spectacular and the white sand beaches too! If it was warmer we might have been tempted to get in! Really enjoyed the Sky Road (both of them) and yeah that's right we headed to the Fjord. But Hotels in Leenane/Leenaun were like 200euro+ so we pressed onto Westport and got a room in a pub for 80 and had the best night ever in the town 😎

[@timcully4706]

@@SeanandEmily Yes the Leenaun Hotel is great, I've stayed there many times, but it was out of season, so a lot cheaper, Westport is a great lively town, I'm sure you had a blast! 😀😀

[@Ireland103]

Brilliant as always...Love it

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much! Everywhere we go in Ireland is spectacular! 😎👍

[@MillbayMan]

love that road, great biking roads on the west coast

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Eddie, yeah some spectacular rides on the West Coast! We have really enjoyed every minuet of it -just wish there was a few more hours in a day 😊 -i guess that's why people keep coming back.

[@ruudschut6286]

Great riding on these scenic roads. Nice places to stop for a visit. Perfect! 😎👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks Ruud, everyday we were spoilt with beautiful roads like these, such a special trip for sure 😊👍

[@steviegraham7194]

Hey guys.. funny we were drinking coffee last Sunday(21st) in the same place in Roundstone 😊 lovely ppl. Also I loved your drone cinematography of the Coral Strand were I go swimming and to top it off you past my house just before you ended this great vlog lol 😉🏍💨⛰️

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Stevie, oh really! Must be the place to go to then 😊 and yeah the people that run it are lovely and helped us change our route so not to miss things which we appreciated. I you're in there again maybe let them know they are on here. Wow what a beautiful place you live! I think we actually said to each other it must be great to live here and to have that beach nearby is fantastic too. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment. Catch you in the next one 😎👍

[@steviegraham7194]

@@SeanandEmily aww thanks I will tell them. Next time you are over near here let us know for a catch up. Enjoy your rest of the trip 😃🏍️💨

[@Fractal379]

You guys! Just been looking over the cliffs with my wife. She sends her love, but we're about to chow down. Then you can blow my mind again. I've learnt to prepre for your videos - see you after I munch 👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi to you both! Sounds like a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Enjoy your meal and catch you later 😊👍🏻

[@IanTed]

Enjoyed that section, love Roundstone and stayed in Clifden, great bars and live music, happy days! PS. The roads are uneven because they are built on peat😉

[@SeanandEmily]

Great, yeah Roundstone was a peaceful l place but apparently has a good music scene too. We didn't really have time to stop in Clifton but would consider it a stopover location for the future if you recommend it 😊 Ahh that makes sense, they are like natural speed bumps lol

[@Maggie_1957]

Well cheers Emily for making me feel old The claddagh ring museum Emily quote here are some really old one this one is from 1956 so Emily i was born 1957 and my husband 1956 thanks for confirming we are both ancient relics 😉😉😉😉 PS another great video

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Maggie, sorry didn’t mean that 🙈. The rings from 1956 were the most precious and sort after 😉 Glad you enjoyed the video and happy to have you with us 😊

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much Gary 😎👍🏻

[@roadwarrior8560]

I hope you headed to Leenaun and the Doolough valley on your way to Westport. The Sky road is lovely too, I think it's nicer heading south, Another great vid, I'll have to try that little coffee shop in Roundstone sometime, Roundstone is a falsely anglicised translation from the Irish 'Cloch na Rón' meaning Seals Rock', not Round-rock/stone.

[@steviegraham7194]

Doolough Valley I did last week I've been coming to clifden and surrounding area for over 50 years and was blown away with the mystical scenery ❤

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, Yeah we do head for Leenaun, we had planned to stay there but hotel prices where incredibly expensive so we pressed onto Westport and had to miss the Doolough valley as it was getting late certainly a place to visit next time. Yeah it's a lovely café and the owner is really nice and helped us with our route, which we changed to his suggestions. Did we read correctly that Roundstone was established by a Scotsman and it attracted Scottish fishermen? -maybe that's where the anglicised translation came from 🤔 Anyway a fantastic ride and beautiful landscapes 😊

[@SeanandEmily]

Nice one Steavie 😎👍

Sean and Emily, Fáilte!! Great to see you in the Emerald Isle. I'm from Galway and been keeping and eye out for you while buzzing about on my Vespa. I was in Connemara today but alas you're as elusive as Leprechauns moving too fast for me on your fab GS. 😁 You'll enjoy Westport and I reckon you're heading for Sligo and Donegal. More great scenery ahead, have a great trip and ride safe... John 🏍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi John, We have absolutely loved touring the Emerald Island! Must be great to live in Galway and we hope you don't mind all the visitors 😊 -guessing winter time it's a lot quieter and you get the city back. Haha that's right we don't stick around very long with these distances to cover. Yeah that's right we do eventually end up in Sligo. Can't wait to share the rest of the trip, thanks for your comment! Sean and Emily

[@asphaltryder9835]

Beautiful place and excellent vlog. You guys are awesome. I am interested to know about the front crash guard boom bar mount you are using for the GoPro? Appreciate if you could share the details of the product. Thanks. Keep going

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi thanks very much for your comment! Yes it's available on the GoPro website with all the details you need there 😎👍

[@Dreyno]

The wavy road surface is a result of the peat bog the roads are built on. The road is more or less floating in places. The surface can be laid flat and over time develops undulations.

[@SeanandEmily]

Makes sense, thanks 😎👍

[@Dreyno]

Kennedy’s father’s family came from Wexford (where you arrived off the ferry) and his mother’s came from Limerick and Cavan.

[@SeanandEmily]

Ahh okay, so he did indeed have close ties to Ireland 😊

[@Dreyno]

@@SeanandEmily He probably had more Irish DNA than me and I’m Irish born and raised. Edit: I just checked. He was 100% genetically Irish. So yes, more genetically Irish than me or, indeed, the majority of Irish people.

[@dylanbyrne2937]

Hey man his grand parents were from new Ross co Wexford,there is a park named after the Kennedy's up there also

[@MyGapYears]

Sean, gotta love the way the female brain works. You buy her a ring that she wants - she buys you a cake that she also wants! BTW, was the ring on the correct hand and facing the right way?

[@SeanandEmily]

Haha yeah, although in fairness I did end up eating most of 'my' cake 🤣 Well i guess technically it should be on the left but most important the crown is facing out 😉

Not exactly a comment!!!

[@nikoscosmos]

Another stunning ride. How do you manage the navigation so calmly with 2 devices and an informative pillion? My informative pillion is a radiologist and so gets left and right mixed up!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks Niko, i don't really think about it to be honest. Although sometimes when we are chatting i miss the turning lol but no big deal to turn around. I don't have the navigation audio instructions as I don't like to hear them.

[@markosgkam]

Hey guys, great video as always, I was wondering if the "breaking period" on your bmw is done, also what exhaust do you use? That boxer sound amazing!!! Anyway, great travels!

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Marko, thanks very much! Yeah the bike has done 35,000km now and is running beautifully only issue is the SOS system which needs a software update ( thanks for reminding me to get that sorted lol) Yeah love that boxer sound! We actually have the standard exhaust but there are more sporty exhaust available. Thanks again! 😎👍

[@markosgkam]

@@SeanandEmily Hahahaha, no problem!!
