England to the Sahara by Motorbike | Part 2: The Ferry to Morocco and into Rabat
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
England to the Sahara Desert, Morocco on my 2010 Triumph Bonneville.
In part two of this road trip, I ride south from Caceres in mid Spain and grab the ferry from Tarifa on Spain's southern tip, into Tangier, Morocco.

@@FreddieDobbs I’m stoked I found your channel- instantly subbed after I started watching this series. I’m a huge fan of motorcycle travel vlogs (your reviews are great too) and I seriously think you were made for this sort of thing. You don’t have the $25,000 gs but you don’t need it because it’s clear you’re in it for the love of the ride, comfort be damned. I’m seriously impressed by your vulnerability on camera and sense of humor. Keep it up.

This is proper Freddie, it really is! No brand new bike, no tonnes of kit you'll never use just a genuine taste for adventure. It's like tightrope walking with no training and no safety net😂. You're fearless and treat adversity and situations that make you feel like a plank with great patience and good nature. Real biker, real adventurer. Stay safe Freddie
Freddie, I have to say this, you've earned yourself a fan and have quickly become my favourite content creator. Your storytelling, with the pleasant visuals, top choice of music and your upbeat, charming personality. Your channel is one of the most underrated and best motorcycle KZread channels, bar none. Consistently putting out top content. Needless to say, I always look forward to your videos after a long day of studying. Keep it up, and cheers!

I agree, I stumbled across his videos about a year ago, and I now watch them about as religiously as my mum used to watch the soaps (Eastenders, Emerdale, CS, etc 😅). Although I'm usually about 7 days behind (only God knows why 😂). In case you didn't already know, as I only found out fairly recently. He has another channel called Tuesday at Dobbs'. It's more of a talking head/podcast style. It's on YT also but used to be on Spotify under the name Freedom Machines. He had to change the name on YT due to copyright. Apparently, someone else already uses a similar name. This got a bit long winded, but I thought I would give you the heads up none the less 😊.
Excellent stuff Freddie. You are certainly a breath of class amongst most of the motorcycle vloggers. Your video skills improved greatly and keep the comedy coming, the ear plug fiasco was hilarious.

It’s uncanny how we long distance bikers are the same. The “where’s my earplugs” dance is done by us all. One of the things, being a lazy KZreadr, I admire the most of professional KZreadrs is the effort made in filming, script and editing - especially setting up the camera at side of road to get the riding away shot, then have to go back and get all the kit. I don’t make a living from my amateur hash videos, fortunately, as I made enough money from what I actually do do well, but I admire Freddie and Itchy Boots et al, and their superb film making skill. Those who watch their content probably don’t appreciate how hard it is to ride, plan, organise and deal with border hassle and at same time produce amazing content -- all good stuff Freddie. Enjoying Morocco where I will be in November on my Tuareg
“I hope I have everything I need and by that I mean I have nothing” 😂 best video yet, some pure gold comedy moments. What a trip so far!
Great report! Fabulous to see people covering big mileages to far off places on bikes other than the obvious choices. Excellent effort, well done. Safe, happy travels 👍

I love your videos Freddie. You have such an elegant way of presenting everything, and you're always really careful and enthusiastic with the scenery. Such a treat that you give us these videos for free
I truly admire the way you put up with the heat, the flies, the squalor & a smelly left hand to bring us these fascinating vlogs, offset by some (mostly) fine accommodation & superb views. Excellent.
Great stuff Freddie. No way could I bear that heat! I felt your pain putting that jacket back on. Ride safe. 👍

Those who don’t ride have no idea what motorcycling is like in a hot climate, testing to say the least! 👏👍😀
You really have to applaud Freddie for setting up the camera shots, I know how long time that takes (in editing as well)! I've been here since you had around 12k subscribers, when you tested out the R Nine-T - Freddie your channel is an inspiration💪
Stunning attention to filming - great trip - only issue I have is that I feel I can tick these places off as 'visited' as your coverage is so real.
I can't believe the proximity of Africa to Spain - it looks as close as the Isle of Wight is to Southsea! It's too late now, but for any future hot weather trips I'd recommend a modular helmet (Shark Evo or similar), a mesh jacket and also consider a hydro backpack. Hope you've got plenty of factor 50! 🌞

100%. In the Algarve we use Segura mesh jackets
Well done. Your putting on your very sweaty gear and then not finding your earplugs. . .High comedy and we’ve all been there.
Stylish and entertaining as always, Mr. Freddie. Love the choice of music, the scenery, the gear, and of course the Bonnie. Yes, I was in Andalucia last year and was amazed how close Africa is.
Freddie - I'm so full of admiration. What a fantastic journey, and your vlog really is second to none in terms of content and context. Loving how you overcome all the obstacles of travelling to unknown climes. The scenery is mesmerising and so cool to see it from the perspective of the Triumph. Bike looks in great knick! Thanks
Thank you Freddie , True biker and traveller spirit ...your composition and editing pace is fab .. could really feel the places you stopped at , each frame held long enough to enjoy the views, colours, textures , characters , temperature and rhythm of each scene... being from india with remote regions and hot weather, i've found it most comfortable to use light sleeveless jackets with back protection pocket sewn on , using separate easy to slip on and off elbow/ arm , knee and chest protection .. also football shin guards ...can use or detach each as you wish depending on the road/terrain,traffic n temperature.. much much lighter n cooler making the ride more enjoyable ...freedommmm .. Looking forward to all your journeys .. Ramble on...
You gonna love the landscape in Morocco 🇲🇦
McDonalds food is like eating cardboard that’s been left in the street on a dusty dirty, dusty rd, and then torrential rained on and warmed up in the microwave 🤢 I admire you Freddy for your willingness to do stuff that many wouldn’t do. It’s inspiring 👏🏻

Freddie try and take Chefchaouen on your route back up through Morocco… Hotel Atlas is a good stay. And steer clear of Ketema!!! Enjoy the trip!!!👌 The vlogs are brilliant.
I went in the opposite direction almost 10 years ago when I was in university, though I didn't take a motorcycle. Started in Marrakech, made my way up to Tangier and took a ferry across to Tarifa. Absolutely incredible trip. I may need to revisit, this time with a bike though.
The bonneville sure has taken you on some adventures. Amazing what you can do with a relatively inexpensive mode of transport. That’s why I love bikes.
You are absolutely smashing it! From Indonesia, Tuesday with Dobb’s and now the Morocco road trip, just loving the content!
Excellent choice of music.........enjoy the country!
As someone who is planning on buying his first bike later this year (a Zontes GK 350), these videos are really inspiring me to one day take on an adventure such as this! Awesome content Freddie! Can't wait to see the next update! Safe travels and greetings from Portugal :)
Fantastic videos Freddie! Looking forward to more! Hope you have a great journey in Morocco
