RKS is a biker's bike. No silly tech. No digital map or com system. No big goofy TV to navigate. Last time I rode with guys on tech bikes they spent the whole trip touching screens, trying to connect, bitching that their coms don't work and whatever. Screw all that tech. All that tech will be antiquated and out of style in short order and soon it won't work at all. RK is timeless. If you're a biker enjoying the road; what do you need besides a speedo? Long live the King!

This feels pretty techy to me , my old chopper got wrote off last year .. I had no speedo no indicators , lights hardly ever worked .. but Jesus I had so much fun for last 12 years on that thing ! First 100 times I hit the indicator on this bike I laughed loud to myself saying ‘amazing’ ! Happy travels dude

Hi Mark & Lisa, my wife and I really enjoyed watching this travel video when you visited Italy and other countries. During this time of year in Washington, U S.A., we have a lot of dark, cold weather, and occasionally snow and ice. It was uplifting to see the sunshine, the beautiful scenery and coastal water views from the roads you traveled. We also were delighted seeing the different buildings, houses, and communities you passed through. We felt as if we were there experiencing it with you. Take care. 🙂👍

We are planning on going back soon to possibly stay in Rome, Florence and then travel on down to Positano. We may have to visit Amalfi for a day as well again. A beautiful place to ride the motorcycle around the coast line on the winding and twisty cliff roads… ❤

We have our home upside down as I’m working on kitchen and hall and have very limited time to complete it before I need to get back to work , hence making this video seemed a quick way to put something out this week and would hopefully reach new people. But stoked a few folks re watched, that’s so cool ! Early start always , not a good sleeper and I think my pattern rubbed off on Lisa . Also nice to get somewhere in afternoon and head to beach .. relax . Thanks for the comment . Can’t wait to get back out on a trip . Take it easy

Some of the ports I visited on my submarine in England, Gibraltar, Spain, France, and Italy. My brother recently came back from a holiday from England to Spain via the tunnel. He is trying to convince me to do the cruise ship thing also. Now I am discovering my country on my Road Glide (SilverBACK). This video brought me to tears. I have much more to see on my motorcycle in Europe. Thank you kindly for sharing. I would be most interested in you taking all of your “B” roll (Real Time) to hear the sounds, and separating by country. Those turned in the alps…priceless! Maybe I will recognize some places because most of my time in Europe was in port cities. I have a painting similar to the land and houses at T26:35 but the rooftops are reddish pink. I started riding in October 2021 and thought I would have to take this journey into the motorcycle culture alone. However, after 30 days and 2500 miles on the road returning from my trip to Harley’s 120th my wife agreed to ride with me too a flea market on the Fat Boy (Killmonger).

On a motorcycle I think you more likely to end up in odd random places . We love a place not far from Gibraltar called ‘Ronda’ it has the best mountain road on the way there and the city itself is like 800 year old buildings Miguel de Cervantes stopped in a bar there and wrote a chapter of Don Quixote there in 1600s The bar is still there .. but yeah I’ve sidetracked .. Spain is full of so many magical places .. I’m stoked to hear your wife now on the back of the bike now … journeys are good alone and I still love a solo trip But discovering new places together is so cool , .. you have a couple of awesome motorcycles there dude . Enjoy every mile , you have such a great country for hitting the road . I’d love to see so much more of America . I’ve done New York couple times , once with my wife and daughters another time with my band .. doing some shows . I’ve done California and some of Florida, but man you’d need years to see America . Our kids are grown now , so we have a little freedom Back .. and plan on putting down a lot of miles . Great to hear from you mate , Ride safe .. and hope 2024 brings so many good times your way .

Nice! Got a question for you. When traffic is backed up I notice in this (and other peoples’ videos) its perfectly fine for a motorcycle to proceed either on the shoulder or in between the stopped vehicles on the lane markers. We call it lane splitting when you do this and here its illegal. As a matter of fact other drivers get quite ticked off when bikers do this. Would you say lane splitting is acceptable in more places than not?

@LeanIntoTheWind

3 ай бұрын

The shoulder is not allowed, splitting through the middle is totally legal and 99% of motorcyclists do so ! Even when traffic moving fairly fast … Some motorists really get angry even though it is legal , some will even close the gap and make it awkward for you . But this is pretty rare . The only place I came across many people getting angry at me for lane splitting was Switzerland… I did lane split but everyone seemed annoyed, I never did check if it was illegal or not there .. but to answer yes most of Europe 100% accepted and when you do your test they tell you to lane split, it’s part of the test , or at least it was when I done my test in the 90s . Kind regards Mark

Best swap and no need to change any cables … it doesn’t drastically change the look either . But is a much more relaxed riding position.

@@sagalout I think best check the dealers , but I’m pretty certain Road glide and Road glide special have same bars . Obviously the Road glide special will always be in black .

There are always some on eBay But I’ve noticed the prices are creeping up on used ones , I think more folks finding out how good a fix they are for RKS . But you can go in a dealers and sit on a RG to see what bars feel like As exactly same bike . Not many bars you can try before buy .

Absolutely timeless film making! You should be proud of your achievements. Some of those italian roads look decidedly like english? i.e. poor! How did the intercoms thing go? We really like ours as a 2 up. Passes some of the bordum on longer trips.❤

@@onereallynicespeed thanks so much , appreciate that . We bought the intercom during the trip , they lasted two days then went back in box and have never come out again . With my open face , Lisa just got wind from my microphone, and I had to shout anyway . We just returned to shouting haha .. and save our talking for meal times … The roads in Italy better than uk by a long way … in Sicily they far worse than uk .. potholes that look like Graves haha you go in … you need a ladder to get out . Makes it fun though

@LeanIntoTheWind I use my com on an open face and It does get wishy washy with speed. We are hoping to do Italy next year for my wife's 50th. Tuscany area. 2 weeks going to be enough?

We only had 3 and one GoPro . But I had a power bank so managed to charge them .

Was stock suspension good enough for all that 2-up riding or did you have to upgrade the suspension?

Did you miss a windscreen on those faster roads?

I have never had one , or even tried one .. so the simple answer is no . It’s all I’ve know . Having the backrest takes all the fatigue out of wind … Before I had this bike and when solo I always travelled with sleeping bag behind me which did the same thing , I think as long as you have support behind you , it’s not tiring at all .

Nice trip to see..😃👋🇨🇭 not realy exiting..😢

Thanks for watching 😊

I think it is very irresponsible to ride a motorbike without glasses. What if a bug, a fly or a bee gets in your eye? You are putting your girlfriend in a very dangerous situation! You are also responsible for her safety. In any case, you're a big jerk for not wearing glasses!

Классное путешествие..респект..😊

Thanks . I will warn you though , i only read comments up to the word ‘but’ .

Hi guys, I've been watching your videos for a little while now & this one has inspired me to take a similar trip this summer. Having never been on a multi country tour before, i would appreciate being able to ask a few questions, if thats okay? Would it be okay, to message you on Instagram? Thanks.
