Motorcycle trip to Barcelona by BMW 1250 GSA and Triumph Tiger 900 - Ep 1

This first episode sees us leave our overnight stop near Stonehenge and head for the. Plymouth Ferry port. Attempting to escape the grey, gloomy English weather and spend a few days making our way across Spain and eventually making it to Barcelona to visit my Son and his family. Initially, this first stage takes us as far as Logrono in the heart of Rioja country. Thankfully the weather does eventually brighten up and we ride some beautiful sweeping roads and enjoy some great tapas. We finally figure out a strategy to deal with the Spanish tradition of eating late! We go out early for a light bite and beer to keep us going before venturing out much later than we normally would - staves off the"hangry" feeling!
We hope you enjoy this first episode - please give us a thumbs up, comment and share if you do!

The route: Salisbury - Plymouth - Santander - Puente Viesgo - Logroño

As I watch this from the comfort of my couch, freezing outside (Berlin), my motorcycle in winter sleep, I find this the perfect compensation . Looking forward, as always, to the continued journey. Thank you Brian and Sue for another wonderful travel video. Greetings, Jim

You've got to love the "Universal knife & fork signs" Alot more pleasant than a toilet sign but usually the same result 😅. If you're back in the general area again look into taking a divert to Narbonne on the French border. The Les Grands Buffets is the finest buffet I've ever been too and relatively easy to get a booking ahead of time, one not to be missed. 😊

First time watching this channel. And i must say that many motorcycle creators have a lot to learn.
Details about the hotels etc is worth gold!

[davidlee]

Had a quick skim through, looks really good will watch in detail on the TV at the next opportunity. It’s a trip I would like to do, motorcycle or cycle

[andrewtofts]

Great to meet you both in Plymouth and many thanks for including my photo with Brian. Our trip to Morocco was a fabulous adventure, apart from the numerous tummy bugs!!😂 Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers, Andy.

The Pyrenees are stunning. You captured it well.

For heavens sake, be careful in Barcelona… crime levels higher than anywhere else in Europe.

Great vid. I have been doing this route since the dawn of time and visit and stay at a friends in Haro, the real capitol of the Rioja region. On the Pont again in June 24. Anyone wanting to do this route simply follow signs for Burgos and this will lead you to the N623. I have three weeks in Spain most years on Bike, best 'biking Roads' in Europe. Well done MMD😀

[trevorthorn]

Loving the content I think the ferry is the best way to get to Spain less strain on yourselfs and your Bikes 🏍 keep it coming 🍷🍺
