Greetings YouTube! Hit that subscribe button and join me as I embark on an epic journey from the UK to Sicily and back in 12 days… As ever, I will be riding my trusty BMWR1200GSA as I work my way south, combining camping and AirBnb accommodation along the way. On day one I’m aiming for Reims, France, and an early morning ferry means a really, really early start… let’s ‘ave it!

Hi, new to your channel, we can't get enough of vids like these. Looking forward to the trip. So envious
A new trip! Great stuff. Hope the weather is ok for you mate-you've had some shocking rain and wind at times in France in particular! 🤞🏻🙌🏼😎
Hi Steve good to see you back on your bike on your next tour , better weather this time I hope best regards Peter
Steve it is great to see you bashing off on another journey. I am an Englishman residing in Lugano Switzerland. Just back from short trip through the Dolomites and then from North to South of Slovenia. I do not vid my rides, but occasionally capture stuff at localities. Take care, and do not overdo your days. Life is about the journey, not the destination. Live your best life. J
Hi Steve the rain gods seem to like you. Have a safe trip and hopefully sunshine all the the way now. Keep up the great vids kind regards Preston👍
interesting to see you use the ferry – much better value tbh but reservations over high seas stop me – assuming this was shot sometime in feb/March thats a brave route via Chamonix and Mont Blanc not a warm or snow free route that one! Heck Im planning this for May and I even think thats risky… 😉
Hi Steve, hope you weren't too ill on the ferry. You always manage to some rain. Have ever had a totally dry trip? Looking forward to your next video.
Nice one Steve, I don't know if you are posting videos as you go but if its not to late don't go through the Blanc go over the top mont cenis great ride and cheap
Another adventure. Love it. Good luck with it pal.
One option from Ireland, ferry to France is 19 hours 😮
Hi Steve, thanks for sharing – weatherwise France doesn´t like you and I´m afraid that Italy won´t give you a warm welcome either based on the forecast I´ve seen. Wish you that I´m wrong and that you´ve excellent dry and sunny days ahead. Stay safe!
Hope you have a great trip looking forward to to the series hope the weather better than the last one 👍
Did Calais to Dover on the 9th April, ferry arrived in Dover three hours late and many people puking up as the sea was so rough and looking forward to your trip
Definitely prefer the tunel mate. Stay mind 😂
New subscriber – love the videos – can’t believe you only have 2k subscribers – should be 200k!
I've been recognised from YT once too, it was super funny 😂
Well done Steve, off to a great start, sunshine all the way 🤞.
Thank god the rain stopped for a bit Steve I was about to ask you to rename your channel to "Ame Otoko" means the man that brings rain 😂😂😂😂 lovely episode my friend looking forward to see Italy ❤🙏
Wonderful Journey, good luck with the weather.
Braver man than me Steve taking the ferry .. hopefully you kept the breakfast down.
Cracking episode , I done a similar route last Sept going just slightly further than Riemes. I’m surprised you didn’t visit the old formula 1 track Reims-Gueux . It was amazing to ride through the grandstand .
Keep up the good work
A quick question .. when you were leaving the service area was that your tyres humming ??
Brilliant, look forward to your next episode. Ride safe mate.
Looks like another excellent bit of viewing coming along…
“I’ll worry about gas tomorrow” says the rider on his GSA. 😂 They are good at that for sure.
Hi Steve, great to see you back on the gs, another wet start mate, sorry to see that. looking forward to watch the rest of your adventure. 🤞🏻you have a warm and sunny adventure.
Looking forward to this series !!
We done Uk to Sicily last year … me & the Mrs 2-up , what a trip … you have in front of you . Sicily is incredible.. we loved every bit of it.. happy travels , safe trip ❤
First on the ferry, "That aint going anywhere!" Why do we feel the need lol. Great vid, subbed. Why does the feeling of boarding a ferry by motorcycle give me butterflies even just watching others on Youtube? lol.
Looking forward too watching this trip, it’s been on my bucket list for a few years now. Have a fantastic trip and above all stay safe 😃👍🏻
I have been to Sicily 3 times, twice by train and once by plane, but I would love to ride there. It remains my favourite holiday destination. I can highly recommend a trip up Etna and a visit to Selinunte. Palermo is like a cross between the first and third worlds…
I'm so glad to see the rain clear up, so you could enjoy the beautiful city. Here's hoping for some sun
Great start Steve – Rheims a lovely City!! – looking forward to day/episode 2.
Stay safe (and dry!!😀)
