road trip adventures are exciting at any time and any age, this is our trip to the stelvio pass in Italy, travelling through France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium.
is the ducati multistrada 1200s , the right machine, do we have to worry about any Italian fragility or reliability.
testing brand new michelin road 5's

I already see that it was a nice trip. The Rolls there was very nice. You got the stamp in the passport, just like years years ago. :) A very enjoyable video. Take care. Waiting for the next one. Cheers.

Brilliant! You need to mic Karen up, though. Looking forward to the rest of the adventure. Nice parting of the waves for Phil and Karen to come through. That doesn't normally happen for ordinary folk like me! That wasn't the royal family, everyone in London is rich and drives a Roller or a Ferrari, donchaknow? My cards have the number on the front so can't show them on the interweb...

@wsmv 4 күн бұрын

Yeah gotta be careful with cards, but I had it inside the wrist band for much of the trip and the toll payages worked really well and not too expensive. I've heard about you london lot flaunting your money with fancy cars and bikes 😁 I wish I had mic'd her up because she is hilarious on the bike 🤣🤣

Great to see the trip starting. It's super exciting boarding the train knowing another country awaits. (Although slightly worrying seeing your bike rock around on the sidestand 😮)

@wsmv 3 күн бұрын

Tell me about it, found the sidestand bolt had worn and was slightly loose, managed to order one while I was out there and refitted when we got home 😖

@fuglbird Күн бұрын

Thank you for your video. It looks like proper motorcycle touring. I like it. My girlfriend and I went two up camping to Monaco in 1979 and Milano in 1983. I had planned to go to Switzerland this summer but floods first in Germany and now in Switzerland stopped me. I will probably go Denmark, Sweden, Norway and back to Denmark this year. I'm looking forward to seeing how you fare.

@wsmv Күн бұрын

Thank you very much, we loved the trip and the floods in Switzerland happened the day after we rode through. I really want tour Scandinavia, such a beautiful part of the world ❤️👍

Hi buddy, yeah my 62 plate ticked over30k on the last leg back to the west country (and the Desmond service light came on 😭) But I love it and already booked in for a full service 😁 touring 2up long distance is amazing to share it with someone and the multi is definitely the bike to do it, plus I do love ducatis 😍

Saw that you Mrs uses Three as a network provider. I have left Three and joined IDmobile who use the Three network and offer the same roaming deal as Three, for less than a third of the price.
