OMG, didn't realise you live on the same road as me at Chiswick.....

[@willhorsley2105]

This is a good little series

[@redangrevival]

Many thanks 👍, appreciate it. Was a great ride and had a brilliant time

[@malcellison8831]

Exciting start! You’re going to have a ball 😃 I’ve toured France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland solo and loved it. There’s no-one else to please other than yourself and that’s liberating. At restaurants (alone) in the evenings I used to occupy myself (between courses) by writing a diary of the day’s events. Have a great time 👍

[@redangrevival]

Thanks Malc I appreciate it. That's brilliant sounds like a great tour, yes its a different experience traveling solo. I think you become more aware of your surroundings as well 👍 Quite the same, but my diary will be on youtube haha

[@ASimplyFabLife]

Thumbs up dude 👍😎. Nice one!

[@redangrevival]

Thanks man. Hope you guys are doing good

[@Paulie44]

Missing your touring adventures on Speedy! Your Triumph Speedmaster has become synonymous with your channel, much like Freddie Dobbs and his Bonneville.

[@redangrevival]

Thanks so much! Yup I have just been so busy working etc… Can’t wait to book another tour in

Hello from Canary Islands Spain, this video reminded me a journey that I made From Tenerife to Bilbao, the trip on the boat last two days to get Huelva, then we started riding from Huelva to North I wish you a wonderful journey

[@redangrevival]

Thank you very much Andres, I appreciate it 👍 Has been incredible so far. A beautiful country.

Great video mate. Im leaving tomorrow from Ireland to Bilbao. First time ive done this, nothing booked, panicking a bit so trying to watch any video of someone that has already done it. Thanks to you im heading to Pamplona first to find camping. Thanks for uploading and happy adventures mate

[@redangrevival]

Hi, thanks so much really glad you enjoyed the video 👍 I am jealous! Good luck it’s a great trip, all I recommend is bringing a hammer for tent pegs haha You will be fine, just enjoy it and have break down cover. All the best for your trip

[@the_grumpybiker]

@redangrevival mate honestly, I went out to buy a rubber mallet after watching your vids 😂😂

[@redangrevival]

@@the_grumpybiker 😂 that made me laugh. Such a rookie error by me not taking one. Bent so many tent pegs!!!

[@the_grumpybiker]

[@greg8022]

So cool, I am so envious, love the ferry part of my trips, always pondered about doing Northern Spain via Portsmouth/Bilbao. Bike is looking great, stay safe and enjoy.

[@redangrevival]

Thanks Greg, same I really enjoyed the ferry it is a great way to travel. If you find the time you should defiantly try it. An incredible trip.

[@PhilliousWilliams]

[@crumblymal8479]

@@redangrevival just to say your angle on mental health is 👍 good it’s very difficult to explain all the issues involved unless your involved / suffering. Unfortunately I am in that position but having my bike helps when I can get out on it . More power to you and keep it going . :- )

[@redangrevival]

@@crumblymal8479 thanks, its good to hear that other people can understand. It can be sooo confusing, but I think you must remember that a-lot of people have been and currently are going through it. You are not alone in your journey ✌️. That is exactly what motorbiking did and still does for me even when I am at my worst. I find it simplifies everything and you can just focus on riding. Keep on riding my friend, you are not alone 👍. Hang in there I know it can be hard.

Looks like the beginning of a good series… new subscriber 👍

Happy travels mate.

[@redangrevival]

Thanks, what a trip 👍

[@mlcmotorcycling9392]

Enjoying your videos. I ride a Triumph Bonneville T120 but am concerned about touring with tubed wheels. What do you carry for puncture repairs?

[@redangrevival]

Many thanks 👍. To be completely honest I don’t take anything at all 🥴!! I have Triumph breakdown cover and other breakdown cover for Europe and Uk. Have luckily been ok so far! I suppose I will cross that bridge when I get to it 😂.

[@mlcmotorcycling9392]

@@redangrevival Thanks for the reply. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I have looked into buying a set of tubeless spoked rims but £2.5k is over my budget!

[@glennphillips4951]

Sounds like the makings of an amazing trip. How was the touring screen on the A3, and how was the check in process at Portsmouth. I'm planning the same route in about three weeks time.👍

[@redangrevival]

Hi Glenn, thanks yes it is incredible! A special trip. The touring screen was brilliant, especially good in the rain. Still do get some wind buffeting on my helmet but it is much better than without it!! Defiantly recommend it for motorway miles 👍 Check in at Portsmouth was very easy, as long as you have prepared in advance. Passport, proof of COVID vaccination or negative test result. Also go online and fill in the Spanish requirements for entering the country!! Very easy process if you have that done before hand. It an incredible trip, I think you will love it 👍

[@glennphillips4951]

@@redangrevival thanks so much for the reply. Really helpful and makes me feel more confident for the trip. Glad the screen is working out - it definitely looks the part and improves the look of the bike I think 🙂

[@thebusinessbuddha1278]

@@redangrevival May I ask your height and maybe for further thoughts of the screen? Hopefully I can get my speedmaster tomorrow and I consider to buy the windshield aswell.

[@redangrevival]

@@glennphillips4951 No problem at all. I hope you enjoy the trip, it is amazing!!

[@redangrevival]

@@thebusinessbuddha1278 Yes I am 5 foot 9 inches. I love the look of the screen. As for wind protection it is very good at taking wind off of my body, however I do get a little bit of buffeting around my head at higher speeds (60mph +). Overall I think it is a good screen and I prefer the bike with it. I can see over the top of the screen by a couple of inches. I hope this helps with your decision. Also enjoy your Speedmaster 👍

[@victorvillafane3241]

I’m baffled at who filmed those shots of the ferry?! Did you have a drone?

[@redangrevival]

Hi Victor, haha no I just had my iphone gimbal!! Superior camera work I suppose 😉 Cheers

[@yongkhunloh4573]

I was wondering how did you cope with the small gas tank of the speedmaster in your long distance tour?

[@redangrevival]

Hi, to be honest it was a bit of a pain being so small! It does require planning and regular stops

[@simonporter6209]

I’m really enjoying your videos as I’m a keen biker who loves long journeys and in fact I recently rode from England to Faro,Portugal where I live. I’m also impressed with how well you put together your videos. Which application do you use to record your Vlogs?

[@redangrevival]

Hi Simon, thank you very much I really appreciate that. O wow what a great trip, I would really like to tour around Portugal some time. I have heard lots of great things but have never been myself. Thanks, I edit the video with "Final Cut Pro X", but to be completely transparent I do have a bit of professional help as well!! If you look in the description of my latest videos I have links to all of the camera/audio and filming equipment that I use. Many thanks, and all the best to you for the New Year 👍

[@simonporter6209]

@@redangrevival Hi there,Thank you for taking the time out to reply to my message. If you are interested in visiting Portugal,come on over in July when we have the biggest motorcycle festival in the south of Europe in Faro which is the capital of motorcycling in Portugal. This year will be the 36th festival and will attract thousands of bikers dud to the festival being cancelled for the past two years. It would be great for you to make a vlog on it and enjoy all the excitement of this 3 day bash. Here is some information on it… Now in its 36th year, the Faro Motorcycle Rally is the biggest biker gathering in Southern Europe, drawing in around 20,000 bikers from the Thursday right through to Sunday night (2oth to 23rd July). Indian Motorcycle has been attending the rally for a number of years now and it has everything you want from a biking festival; hot and sunny weather, sparkling sea, great roads and plenty of live music and entertainment. This year we’ll be holding a BBQ on the Saturday night especially for our IMRG members. Highlights at Faro include: 24-hour bars - Live concerts each night - Erotic shows each night - Wet T-shirt contest - Bike Show - Trade stands - Biker Fair - Tattoo stands - Tattoo contest - Camping Best regards,Simon✌️
