    Greetings YouTube! Hit that subscribe button and join me as I take on the final push back to the UK. It’s been a fantastic tour: 3500 miles from the UK to Sicily and back in 12 days. There’s been sunshine, rain, mist, snow and erupting volcanoes… what more could you ask for?! Well… another tour, I guess and that’s just around the corner! Let’s ‘ave it!

      Another great episode Steve . Always a bit of a downer coming to the end of a trip. But there’s always the Black Forest to look forward to👍. The old tractor must have a few miles on her now , didn’t realise you covered 5000 on the Morocco trip.
      Just planning mine for next year , but still undecided of riding on my own bike or doing a fly drive.

      Hopefully the boy will enjoy the Black Forest , being only a newish rider myself I jumped right in and toured the Alps and Pyrenees 6 months after .. I was bike fit… ish and longest day was 300miles but that killed me 😂( was on a sports tourer ) I’ve come to my senses and bought the GSA march this year . 6,000 miles already with a 12hr 650 mile day and felt great 👍

      Very enjoyable trip Steve, looking forward to your next venture. By the way i got the weight wrong on my k1600, not 420, but 340 kilos still a big bike but once you get moving no problem, done 2 up to Europe a few years ago, averaging 50 mpg that's steady riding. Safe riding.👍😁

      That's for all your videos steve they bring hours of enjoyment.
      I'm just reading about your Morocco trip the ABR magazine 8 padge spread too 👍 I did watch the series already.

      Thanks Steve I have really enjoyed watching this series and I am now looking forward to watching the trip with your son. Hope you got home safely with no problems. If your not aware of him Million Dollar Bogan is worth watching and what he takes a Harley through is unbelievable. I can now catch up on your previous trips. Regards Ted

      Brilliant series Steve, loved every moment of this. I’m going to watch them again. Welcome back and “let’s av the next one” cheers and thanks for all you do.

      The ferry experience looks a lot more spacious than DFDS Amsterdam route. Very civilised. I was hoping to see you ride off so I could see if it was RoRo ferry ⛴️ or if had to back the bike and ride off the same way you came on? I guess you have shaken off the rain gods, finally. A nice episode to end the sojourn 😊

      Brilliant Steve, thoroughly enjoyed that trip, wish I was doing it rather than watching it.
      Will you be making a video regarding the cost of this tour ie fuel, camping and accommodation.
      P.S. can you tell us what kind of mileage you have on your bike

      A great trip 👍 Sicily looks like a great place to visit…… I do find the channel tunnel generally much quicker. Whenever I’ve arrived early I’ve invariably been slotted onto an earlier train so no hanging around for hours and of course a much quicker crossing. The only thing I prefer about the ferry is the ability to have a nice meal while you cross. I’ll look forward to your Black Forest trip 👍

      Thank you for taking us on this adventure, it was really enjoyable watching. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming tour with your son. Regards from northern Germany and a passionate R1200GS owner. Ride safe!
      Cheers

      Hi Steve,
      Great trip, really enjoyed it.
      Just received the July/Aug issue of ABR Mag with your Morocco trip write up – yay!!
      I'll probably watch it again while I'm stuck at home "Dog sitting".
      Looking forward to the Black Forest trip with Son,Ben.
      Take care, ride safe.
