[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Jeff, yeah this was our first trip of the season! Nice to feel the warmth of the sun again 😊 Corsica is spectacular. Hope you have a great start to the season too 😎👍🏻

[@craigstanger4137]

Watched this episode with my son (14) and he said he'd definitely be getting a bike when he's older. Result! Just need to tell the missus now 😂

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Craig! That's really nice to hear you watch these with your son and even more so that he liked it, say hello to him from us 😎👍.

[@johnclark812]

An amazing spot, lots of twisties and coast. Loved the line "Ready to go Em" as she puts her lip balm on 😅. Keep taking such awesome video footage

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi John, yeah such a great way to start our first day on the island, beautiful coastline and fun roads! 😁😁 glad you liked that one. Plenty of new videos planned for this year 😎👍🏻

[@tommcguire5525]

Excellent Vlog. Just sold my GS. Did Sardinia last year ..... fantastic.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks Tom! We haven't been to Sardinia yet, guessing you recommend it the,? Heard lots of good things about it 😎👍 Here's the full playlist -some of the later episodes feature some of the most magnificent roads we have ever ridden on! kzbin.info/aero/PLl_mRzVHVQ0yE93N7u0sDJrUNU1YoanKh&si=BkMeuRhRmjUoqb3E

[@ruudschut6286]

What a joy to ride these roads. After every corner a surprise view. You can se that Sean is enjoying himselve on the bike, and so is Emily. Enjoy the rest of the trip. Keep filming and I keep watching 😎👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Ruud, Yeah it really was a joy to ride these roads! So spectacular and relaxing. We really enjoyed this day (no hiding that 😊) Thanks for watching and there's plenty of videos on the way 😎👍

[@brammes_bmw]

what a beautiful first ride on Corisca. I think I found a holiday trip for next year, 🙂

[@SeanandEmily]

Straight off the ferry and into motorcycle paradise! This is a great holiday destination! There's a link in the description to the routes in case you're interested. Thanks for watching

[@JamesDeLara-t3i]

I live in Calvi and enjoyed seeing Corsica through new eyes, I do many of the routes you did but I do them on my Velo. Thanks

[@SeanandEmily]

Oh wow, what an fantastic place to live! Great roads for the Velo with some tough hill climbs so respect to you 😎👍

[@gl2856]

What a stunning place to ride, thoroughly enjoyed this episode, my type of ride , the pictures were excellent Emm well done you two , Graham L

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks Graham, it took us by surprise this island. Really relaxing and fun roads. Looking forwards to posting more pictures when we get a chance -all a bit hectic at the moment 😁. Thanks again

[@John-Harley]

Hello again, what a beautiful coastal road clinging to the edge of the cliffs, with the diverse colour and shape of the rocks, can’t believe the lack of traffic. At 72 years young I can watch and live the adventures with you, even if I cannot ride them myself. I rode various motorcycles for years until about 15 years ago but never went on adventures like yourselves, I really missed out. The video blogs inspire others to do these sort of adventures and go beyond their normal rides. Enjoy the journey, ride safe and keep the great videos coming,

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi John, thankyou so much for your comment and it's really lovely to hear from you. It's so heart warming to hear that you are living the adventures with us and this encourages us to make more video so thanks very much 😊. We do hope that others are inspired by these videos and feel confident that they can do it too, hopefully all the information they need is here. The Coastline is spectacular and it gets even better as continue down the west coast. Thanks for watching John and we look forwards to hearing form you again soon. Sean and Emily 😎👍

[@johnelmslie]

Im glad to see you back ! Looking forward to this one .

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks! We look this early season tour and look forwards to sharing the rest of the series. 😎👍

[@MrAzizme888]

لم أراء من قبل رحالان على دراجة واحده 😂 لكن يبدوا انكم ثنائي رائع اتمنى لكم التوفيق 👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹

[@SeanandEmily]

Haha 😆 Thanks so much for your comment and we are happy to have you watching 😊🙌🏻

[@timverrall5762]

Great video that actually makes you feel that you’re there with you. Area looks amazing and looking forward to more of the trip

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Tim, thanks for your comment! Really glad it makes you feel like you are here with us! Corsica was fantastic and the scenery just keeps getting better. We are looking forwards to sharing the rest of the journey with you 😎👍

[@dutchglobetrotter6464]

Superb!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks! Corsica is magnificent!

[@Carreraboy911]

Loved traveling corsica with you, great camera work and amazing views 👏 hope to join you one day on a bike tour

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much, the best episodes are yet to come! =)

[@Alexander_1492]

What an lovely drive that was and that for the first day, wow! The time of the year is problely that best for touring.

[@SeanandEmily]

It was awesome to get off the boat and be greeted with a road like that! Yeah it was perfect, not too warm and nobody on the roads!

[@petererbse6253]

Omg we were on the same boat😂 in the port in Bastia there's a second where you can see our bus!

[@SeanandEmily]

Really!!! That's awesome 😂 Maybe you make a guest appearance later on in the series!

[@jamespressly6303]

What an amazing awesome ride!!!!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks James! It was a great way to start off the Corsica tour and it kept getting better! Thanks for watching and good to hear from you 😎👍

[@billmoeller8897]

It gets better !!

[@SeanandEmily]

It sure does 😉

[@BlackThor15]

Great episode and great soundtrack too! Well done you two! 👍👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much and nice to hear from you again! 😊

[@johnmfjw]

Love the drone shots.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks! 😊👍🏻

[@jeanjacques9980]

September best month to visit, spent many happy holidays on Corsica, met Gerard Depardieu! The locals are kamikaze like drivers going around the corners at great speed and overtaking, roads are twisty and full of blind corners,m they have no fear.

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah we noticed the locals are all Rally drivers 😁 -especially the post people lol. Loving the odd season travel as the roads are empty but it must be nice in September when everything is open and the sea is warm 😊 A wonderful place to have a summer holiday 😊

[@davidreed6817]

Beautiful place but I would have rode like a novice as a hate roads with massive drops frighten the life out of me (I found this out in the Pyrenees in the 90's). Still loving this. Great to see you both back.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi David, it is such a beautiful place but the lack of barriers was alarming in deed at times 😄. It gets worse too ( or better depending on the point of view lol) It's nice to be back making videos and we look forwards to sharing the rest of the series. Cheers and nice to hear from you 😊

[@miccodarkwatch4298]

Corsica looks so nice place to ride 🏍. Safe ride and enjoy ur trip guys 🏍🏍

[@SeanandEmily]

It really is!! It just keeps getting better and better. Thanks mate 😎🙌🏻

[@waters1801]

Lovely video. You guys really make it feel like I am right there. Keep up the great work / content! And I know I am a bit late, but congrats on the 10k still!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much! Great to hear you feel like you are there too 😊. Lots more videos on the way 😎🙌🏻

[@903lew]

Corsica looks lovely, must get down there one day. Funny thing is that just as you said “We’ve not seen a supermarket, have we?” you drive just past an alimentation.

[@SeanandEmily]

Haha it's always the way, whenever we say something the road proves us wrong 😄 Corsica has been amazing although we guess it gets very busy in the holiday season!

[@akepettersson4847]

Well , that was something 🤩 Oh , the craving to own a bike right now 😒

[@SeanandEmily]

Hey Ake! 😎👍 Oh Corsica turned out to be a special place indeed!

[@reneemilengellandersen9421]

Thank you for another wonderful travel description.

[@SeanandEmily]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching! We look forwards to sharing the rest of this trip!...the roads get even better! 😎👍

[@kevinpendley3850]

Fantastic views!

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Kevin. Thanks, Corsica was beautiful and it kept getting better! 😎👍

[@traveling...mohammedalreth9632]

You are amazing keep going

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks! Lots more planned for this year 😊👍🏻

[@iamrc9]

Great vlog series, Just one thing , would love to see more of bike, like few shots(visuals), BMW 1250 GSA is beautiful bike and dreambike to many.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. For more imagery perhaps checkout Instagram @seanmichael_travels 😎👍🏻

[@J.J1971]

Would be appreciated if you could do a video on the sat nav and how you link things up for your tours please...

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, this was mentioned briefly in the first video of this playlist using teh calimoto app to make the route and export the GPX and how easy it is to put the GPX file onto the navigator. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTdoGeIndmpbbssi=ribLOrGOrTTOoWtC

[@marcfalardeau6058]

Nice trip. I have been there last october with my wife & son. Fantastic…l’île de beauté. Where did you take the ferry for Bastia? Cheers! Marc, Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦😉🏍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Marc, that's nice -hope you all had a great time there. We hear October is also a great time of the year to visit. Nice that you are watching form Canada, once did a road trip to Quebec from Toronto and to the Cabbat trail in Nova Scotia -a beautiful country you live in 😊 We took the Ferry from Toulon (but only just made it in time lol) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWPUl5-VfbWWasksi=-eXor-Kgg9e9GR7R

[@Dazmpower]

Another great series of videos, we really enjoy watching them as you are both so positive about touring. Quick question do you use both the BMW Navigator and the phone with Calimoto. I have the old BMW navigator 6 and looks like I can export GPX files to it. Just wondered if you only use the phone now. Thanks.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, this was a quick test to see if the GPX files we exported from calimoto would be followed exactly by the Connected Ride Navigator, so far it's worked perfectly. I don't need to have both on all the time so will probably just continue to use the Navigator with the GPX files on it. The phone is still handy for any off route navigation, like finding a supermarket etc

[@Dazmpower]

Thanks for the reply and really helpful, keep the videos coming

[@SeanandEmily]

Plenty more on the way this year 😎👍🏻

[@walidkdd4379]

Can you do BMW M1000RR 2024 full review (drive, modes...etc)?

[@SeanandEmily]

Perhaps later in the year 😎 here’s last years: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKbIiZ1rjJqZoZosi=e3rSDnWMm9gSfQfN

[@NordicAdvRider]

Stunning ride and views. Will definitely put Corsica on my list. Great footage. Btw, didn’t you change to Nexx helmets or maybe I’m dreaming? 😅

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks, it gets better too. Corsica took us by surprise -it’s stunning 😊. The full routes are available to download with the link in the description in case you might need them 😎👍🏻

[@NordicAdvRider]

@@SeanandEmilyMany thanks 🙏

[@SeanandEmily]

Missed the second part, yeah we have the Nexx Helmets but we are using the BMW ones for this trip.

[@dstjepan]

Hi guys! I enjoy your YT videos. I have one question. Safety of the bike while staying somewhere over nights or when you go walking and look around. How do you manage it?

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, yeah security is always an issue. For Corsica we weren't too worried but usually we choose hotels that have on site parking or underground parking is even better. We usually carry the big Oxford chain and chain the bike to something solid. We carry a smaller chain to secure the helmets if we leave the bike in the day time and sometimes we carry the pacsafe cage to but the boots and gear in. Although we generally try to stay the night in any city or town that we want to see so the bike and gear isn't left unattended too long. If stopping off at a place for a short time we try to park in places that don't have access to vehicles (to prevent a van pulling up next to the bike and lifting it) The lockable panniers also help keep things more secure, but at the end of the day you can only do so much. I think there is some examples of this in the Heading South Tour playlist. Thanks for watching

[@dstjepan]

@@SeanandEmily :-) oh com’on… which one… there is millions od movies there… I saw most of them… which one is right?

[@SeanandEmily]

lol we were hoping you would know 😁 give us 5 minutes…..🤣

[@dstjepan]

@@SeanandEmily i know I saw something somewhere :-) Not to worry. It is not a hurry. Take your time or even… make an YT video about this topic. Just the answer by it self was a fortune :-)

[@SeanandEmily]

Got it 2:45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWmXlaRtqKeso6ssi=Jsd9Go6RLl2DBUj2

[@DannyBBom]

I see you've upgraded to the new BMW Connected Ride Navigator. How does it compare to the Garmin in your experience? I've done the same and been mixed. It's well made, operates smoother, but boy do I miss a lot of features (e.g. showing cafes/petrol stations on the map).

[@SeanandEmily]

Only just started using it myself, for this tour we made the route on calimoto and uploaded the GPX files to the Navigator. So far like you say it's been working well. Can you not turn the points of interest on in the settings? ..i will have to have a look 👍

[@FxRiderST]

Very nice! Why are you running two GPS's?

[@SeanandEmily]

As the Navi and the calimoto app are both new to us we wanted to check if the GPS followed the GPX route that the calimoto app made. So far it's been working perfectly.

[@FxRiderST]

@@SeanandEmily Got it. What's going to be your preference? From my experience, the phone can't replace the satnav for various reasons, although I know people who use phones to navigate.

[@SeanandEmily]

It will be the SatNav for sure, although the phone is handy if you are looking for a restaurant or a point of interest that's nearby.

[@FxRiderST]

@@SeanandEmily Fully agree. Also if you need quick A to B direction or find an address, the phone is more intuitive.

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah exactly, so I will be keeping the SP connect phone holder on but will mostly be using it to charge.

[@destinijewell]

We are going to by riding in Corsica in the next few days. What time of year were you guys there?

[@SeanandEmily]

This was filmed in the beginning of April. We hope you have a great time in Corsica! hopefully the water will be warmer for you than it was for us 😎👍

[@johnelmslie]

Wow , I've done the great ocean road and this ilooks better !

[@SeanandEmily]

Corsica has taken us by surprise!! If you think this road was good stay tuned for even better rides from the Corsica tour. 😎👍🏻 this place is spectacular

[@dharmendrasaini3138]

👌👌👍💪🖤💙🍃

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks!! Such a great first ride in Corsica =)

[@Denmark_1974]

Do you need a Vignette in Corsica? And do you use creditcard, or do they want cash?:)

[@SeanandEmily]

No Vignette needed for Corsica. Most places accepted Credit card, however I think small businesses prefer the cash.

[@Denmark_1974]

@@SeanandEmily Ok, thanks guys.

[@SWISSMotoR]

How did you guy grow your channel, i am struggling a bit, i live in Switzerland as well. let me know of any tips you might find useful. can you give me a shoutout on your channel.

[@SeanandEmily]

The perfect place to live to make beautiful content.

[@roeloffermont1287]

A Corsica hè l'isula chì m'hà arrubbatu u core. Ik kan me geen vakantieplaats herinneren die zoveel indruk op me heeft gemaakt. De geschiedenis, de mensen-trots maar heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam-, het landschap en zeker niet te vergeten de muziek.

Hi, yeah totally agree with you! Corsica is. Very special place indeed 😊 We had such an amazing time there and would love to go back again. Beautiful song, thanks for sharing. kzbin.info/aero/PLl_mRzVHVQ0yE93N7u0sDJrUNU1YoanKh&si=wDYV1FmR8T-uibUm

[@Maria-js9ou]

10:00 I only saw two of your videos about Corsica (I intend to watch them all), but I realized that the channel is not cultural, so, PLEASE, don't get involved in what you don't know, and don't invent it. Did Corsica belong to England? WTF? And what about the Dutch? PLEASE refrain from stupid comments, which instead of showing knowledge only accentuates your total ignorance

[@SeanandEmily]

Well that's completely your own loss, so do as you wish 😉. Perhaps also take the time to learn a bit about the history before throwing a tizzy and realise these are conversations between us -we are also here to learn about the place we are visiting. Here is an excerpt about how Corsica has changed hands many times. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The history of Corsica goes back to antiquity, and was known to Herodotus, who described Phoenician habitation in the 6th century BCE. Etruscans and Carthaginians expelled the Phoenicians, and remained until the Romans arrived during the Punic Wars in 237 BCE. Vandals occupied it in 430 CE, followed by the Byzantine Empire a century later. Raided by various Germanic and other groups for two centuries, it was conquered in 774 by Charlemagne under the Holy Roman Empire, which fought for control against the Saracens. After a period of feudal anarchy, the island was transferred to the papacy, then to city states Pisa and Genoa, which retained control over it for five centuries, until the establishment of the Corsican Republic in 1755. The French gained control in the 1768 Treaty of Versailles. Corsica was briefly independent as a Kingdom in union with Great Britain after the French Revolution in 1789, with a viceroy and elected Parliament, but returned to French rule in 1796. Corsica strongly supported the allies in World War I, caring for wounded, and housing POWs. The poilus fought loyally and suffered great casualties. A recession after the war prompted a mass exodus to southern France. Wealthy Corsicans became colonizers in Algeria and Indochina. After the Fall of France in 1940, Corsica was part of the southern zone libre of the Vichy regime. Fascist leader Benito Mussolini agitated for Italian control, supported by Corsican irredentists. In 1942, Italy occupied Corsica with a huge force. German forces took over in 1943 after the Allied armistice with Italy. The Germans faced opposition from the French Resistance, retreating and evacuating the island by October 1943. Corsica then became an Allied air base, supporting the Mediterranean Theater in 1944, and the invasion of southern France in August 1944. Since the war, Corsica has developed a thriving tourism industry, and has been known for its independence movements, sometimes violent.
