Italian Job motorcycle trip... Part 1: introduction and road to Luxembourg

[@UncleLongbeard]

I just need to correct my mistake - the CeZeta scooter which I seen in the garage is not actually 501 model as I thought initially. As I'm not a scooter guy, I didn't take a proper look under the hood and I didn't see the front disc brake. The actual bike is all electric new Cezeta 506(2). And you know what? I am impressed with that. The first good looking electric bike I saw. Sadly though it's limited to 28mph. However I would still like to try it. If #cezeta need any test ride/reviews - I want to do one ;)

[@NooBiker]

They should definitely have you review it! How do you like that extra paint on the roads?

[@catherineducati6696]

A magnificent and long journey with beautiful landscapes

[@Motourev]

Epic start to the tour series, can’t wait for the rest ❤

[@UncleLongbeard]

Thanks mate. It's getting better and better there

[@exeterrider]

A bit wet, but lovely filming as ever. I'll look forward to the next one

[@UncleLongbeard]

The landscapes will improve with every episode for a while ;)

[@exeterrider]

@@UncleLongbeard I bet! 👍😎

[@LeanIntoTheWind]

This will be a great trip ! look forward to watching this series. We rode down to sicily last year from U.K .. you're in for some amazing riding , beaches .. and food !

[@UncleLongbeard]

And zero motorways 😎🤟 indeed it was brilliant

[@Two_Wheel_Trips]

[@Angel_EU34]

Just discovered this, absolutely brilliant! Time to catch up on the series :D

[@UncleLongbeard]

Smashing 👍

[@francolenzoottawa6914]

Love your videos!

[@UncleLongbeard]

Thank you!

[@drewdaism_]

Although the first day of the trip is mainly motorways it’s always sooo exciting I bet you wished it rained when you get caught in the heatwave 😂😂👍🏼

[@UncleLongbeard]

Oh yes, even in miserable weather and... on M1 I was still smiling ;) With that heatwave of course I hoped for the rain :D

[@apostoloskliafas]

awesome !!!!

[@UncleLongbeard]

Thank you! Cheers!

So I see you have met Kris. He still owes me a Belgian beer. Can't wait to see the rest of the trip! Funny I just read yesterday about those motorcycle guide lines that you can see at 11:48 "pushing" the motorcyclist away from the center of the road, due to incoming traffic (possibly trucks)... great idea... and just by seeing it here, I would say it works!!!!

[@UncleLongbeard]

Yes, I've met him. And we are still friends after that ;) The white stripes works really well indeed but I ride like that in most cases anyway.

@@UncleLongbeard if it was done here in a Portugal, they would use slippery paint... like they do everywhere in the cities :)

@ 🤣

[@theodorstravels]

Hm, interesting how dark red + blue come out bright red. / Did the radiator do good job with heating the dinner? 🤣

[@UncleLongbeard]

🤣 of course, best way of heating the food

[@niedzwiedz667]

amazing trip pal !!!

[@UncleLongbeard]

It was! Cheers mate ;)

[@niedzwiedz667]

zazdro kurła@@UncleLongbeard

[@BlakesPipes]

Did it rain?😅 I don't mind rain, but it is when it's cold and rain, I need to remember to stop!

[@UncleLongbeard]

it was really unpleasant on M1... but even on a sunny day it's not a pleasure to be there ;)

[@tartanblackcountrytourist]

Hi Mr Longbeard.. I am loving Luxembourg and Germany.. Just a quick note.. In the go pro 12 specs it owns up to thermal shut down on the gopro 11 modules even when air cooled at speed.. The go pro 12 has purported to have cured this. I would get in touch with go pro and ask for an upgrade to the 12 but only pay the few pounds difference in price.. You are a vlogger.. Losing footage is an absolute heart breaker and diminishes your channel.. You spend months budgeting and planning only to be let down by the equipment that you rely on and the whole purpose of the trip TO SHARE WITH YOUR SUSCRIBERS..is destroyed.. Saying that.. Your channel style is refreshing and bright,, I enjoyed my first beer thoroughly it was Belgian, My next is German and Polish. I have decided to discover more beers as you travel through Europe. Keep safe my friend 💯❤‍🩹❤‍🩹🙏😎

[@UncleLongbeard]

Thanks mate. I never had issues with overheating cameras though

[@stanleylawson9015]

bit of a marathon but you have the right bike for it, how's comfort factor you made any upgrades regards this? looking forward to part 2

[@UncleLongbeard]

my mate's vn800 was much more comfortable ;) But not on the potholes ;) Jokes aside it was much better than before.

[@NooBiker]

You call that rain!? 😂😂😂

[@UncleLongbeard]

It was raining heavily on the bloody M1. And I mean it. It really was. I just didn't film that crap but I was soaked even wearing the waterproofs.

[@NooBiker]

@@UncleLongbeard that sucks.
