My heart stopped just for a moment when that car driver in the Saab started to pull out in front of you. You reacted quickly. Well done. Loved the post. Cant wait for the next one.

I toured Ireland when I was 14 with my dad on his 79 bonneville he rebuilt. One of my happiest memories with him. Cant wait to give my kids the same experiences (we also had the rat packs :) )

Good effort and 10/10 for spontaneity on this one! 😁😁 As a chap aged the other side of 55 myself, I long for those long forgotten days when I could sleep on the floor of a cross channel Ferry without the need of medical assistance to get up again! 🙄 I'll be watching out for next Sunday's edition!

In Ireland N is novice driver, similar to a R plate in N.Ireland (restricted) you have to display it for 2 years after passing your test. MPH tp KPH divide MPH by 5 and multiply answer x3. Love it that you completely winged it.

Ireland is one of my most favorite places, lived there from the states for about 3 months a few years ago. The landscape is gorgeous boarding epic but the phenomenal people there make the place wondrous. With that said, traffic in Dublin is what made me loose most of my hair. Keep riding, more importantly keep living that no regrets life.

Nice to see you passed through my home town waterford..

Well done on your trip, I do this journey by bike about three times a year, but travelling in the opposite direction, my biggest tip would be to book yourself a cabin for your trip on the Ferry, they're not expensive and you can have a comfortable rest as well as a shower before setting off on the next leg of your journey, much nicer than a dirty floor....

Another great video. The best adventures are the ones that haven’t been planned. Ireland is gorgeous too . Hope you had fun 😊

Thank you for making such a fun video. You're very brave setting off with almost no planning!! And then managing to be calm enough to sleep on the boat.

Priceless, you do make me chuckle. Last minute trips with little planning are often the best ones. Even the ad at the start had me chuckling, and that never happens. Can’t wait for the next instalment and to see what chaos ensues. Keep up the brilliant content.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of these videos, Ireland may well be my next trip.....loving the way you are just 'winging' this one too

Well you are off on a true adventure! Thanks for taking us along again.

An unplanned riding adventure from Saffy? Off course we're not going to miss it, starting with this 1st episode. Can't wait for more, well done Saffy! 👍👍

Oh how i wish i had been cruising through Dublin that day, lol. I could at least have sent you in the right direction. Great vid, can't wait for the next one

That was the The Irish sea you were crossing not the Atlantic, that would have been a very long journey! You'll love Ireland, have a ball. You'll have to get used to the tractors. Should be able to change your digital speedo to Kph, Approx values 30mph =50 kph, 40mph =60kph, 50mph=80kph, 60mph =100kph and 75 =120 kph. N is for Novice driver, same as the P plate in the UK. Enjoy

Saffy that's the best way to do a trip decide on the last minuet you think to long on it you keep finding reasons not to go ! Never lose your Enthusiasm its so refreshing 👍👍 Ride Safe

N plate = New drivers. Just passed their test, There is a way to change your digital speedo to Kilometers, pressing and holding one or two of the buttons on the dash The tractor, well, it's Ireland.

Just discovered your channel, excellent how you just do stuff on the spur of the moment, great vid I really enjoyed it so much I've subscribed to your channel so I don't miss any more uploads, all the best.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

love your spirit of adventure and spur of the moment decisions. That's the sort of stuff I do. It makes things much more exciting when you don't plan. looking forward to the next episode.

Good for you, my family are in Wexford, Dublin to Kinsale is quite a journey.

You weren’t sleeping like a pauper…..you were sleeping Squaddie Style😁

Lovely video Saffy & Mr Sprocket. I'm looking forward to your next video 🥳

You just have to love Saffy.You are heading in the right direction and Bantry bay is a really lovely area good food and drink and lovely people.

Great video Saffy loving your let’s just go for it approach 😆 your sense of direction is part of your charm and the extra miles and the extra hours just make it👍

Great to see you coming over to Ireland saffy as that is where I'm from really looking forward to nexts weeks video to see how you get on and hopefully you got to ride some of the wild Atlantic way and injoy what Ireland has to offer bikes

I recently started watching your vlogs and the adventure is calling to me. I passed my bike test in January and have my dream bike now and so excited to go exploring with her. Sadly no spurr of the moment trips I can see due to having a little but definitely had some wake up have a free day lets explore though I end up time watching. Have a trip to Wales planned though and by that I mean I have booked it off work, have someone for my little and that's as far as I've got.

Really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing.

The adventure begins, three days to get lost and one day to find a way home. Saffy gives new meaning to "round-a-bout" to find the farm. Glad you had a fun beginning! Take care and have a sunny week ahead.

There's no holding you back Saffy whatever. Always look forward to your next video and what you will be getting up to next. Great stuff.

Never been to Ireland before. Looking forward to these episodes! Looked like you had some trip there after the ferry, haha! It is all part of the adventure

Loved this video Saffy, getting lost at the road works 3 times I laughed at that,I done the same thing ,you convince yourself I going the right way but end up back were you are glad I wasn't alone lol, Rocket was thinking what are we doing been down this way before, you both do so so well Rocket getting on Adventures and home safe and sound, and yourself being bald and giving it ago showing all your videos, you both lift the spirits of your sprockets my name for fans of you and Rocket, stay safe thank you again 😀 😊 x

N plates on a car stands for Novice, N plates have to be displayed on your car for first 2 years after passing driving test

Your first impressions of Ireland (MPH to KPH, what's a N plate) remind me of a friend who after coming back from a holiday in Spain was traveling to Dublin the next week. So took their "Spanish euros" to the post office to get them changed for "Irish euros". To be honest I probably wouldn't have taken my passport.

Kinsale is a beautiful little town. Bought my now wife’s engagement ring there in 1998 when we were staying near Timoleague.. Suzuki RF 900RR at the time. Good days👍🏻

Glad you found safe harbour for the night Saffron , done that ferry trip on the bike a few times, I always find it disorientating , best thing is to get off the ferry, find a cafe, drink coffee and regroup, give yourself time to sit and think what next, I think there should be a thing called ferry lag.

Well done saffy you are so fearless great video look forward to part 2 xx❤

Planned to take my bike to irland next week and happened to hit on this video as part of my preparations. Saffy, honestly you made it literally easy for me with your vlogging skills. And must say, 6:38 - 6:50 made me laugh loud. 😄

Always nice to watch. Keep it up. :)

Hi Saffy,some years back I read Jupiter’s Travels by Ted Simon,he travelled on a Triumph Tiger in 45 countries from 1973 to 1977 (also did a follow up journey)also an audio book.A brill window into what the world was like then.Bless all adventurers and vloggers.❤️

Close call with that white car good braking . Your ferries are bigger than are ferries here on the BC west coast . Keep up the great job !!

Awesome as always.

Laughed my butt off seeing you getting lost the second you got off the ferry oh saffy have you not learned by now lmao. Can't wait for the next episode

FairPlay you are raving!!😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, Keep up the good work.

Spontaneous adventures are often the best.

Your a absolute star Saffy, at least you have the bottle to travel on your own, can’t wait to see what happens on rest of you journey. Fingers crossed that your way home is quicker 🤣🤣

Next time your in southern Ireland let me know will met for a coffee. Brilliant video as always

Last time I went to Ireland was 2005, you've just inspired me to get back there soon...... Yeah I take wrong turns all the time, it just adds to the adventure 😀

Hi from Indonesia, just found your video in KZfaq and its interisting and just like it 👍 hope you always enjoy your trips

loved the video....the best motorcycle trips start with getting lost....

Well done 👏

L is for learner. Before you pass your full drivers test. N means you’ve passed your full drivers licence test but are still considered a Novice for 2 years and thereby need to display that 😊

Good fortune on the road Saffy 🏍️

Love the cheery music you use in you videos😁

Looky you didn't get stuck at Angley for 16 hours as we did due to bad weather earlier this year. Great to do an unplanned trip, Europe is ok unplanned go and enjoy. PS use the tunnel it is so easy.

This was fun I smirked at your add read 👍

Well done you .at least the weather was kind to ya

I just found Your channel, Looks like a nice place to visit. Be safe

You were really lucky with the crossing and looks nice weather for you 🤞 The South West of Ireland is definitely the best and I'm glad in away that I'm not the online that gets lost which doesn't matter when you on your own 🤣 Stay safe and enjoy 😊

The Topaz station as you leave the port is good...also do a wide range of coffee from Africa ( or they used too )

Well it looks like a nice sunny day for making unnecessary detours :) Your intro was great 👍 Always make the effort to eat something at the end of the day you'll feel loads better for it.

The ferry to Dublin doesn't go near the Atlantic, bless you! That one is the Irish Sea. Nice job and the NordVPN ad was terrific.

great video Saffy

Co.meath great place to visit loads to see.

Hey saffron ,Ireland's great isn't it ,oh and going the wrong way makes the adventure ye 👍 take care X stay safe xx 🍀

I presume you have a headset in your helmet. So you know the lady from Google that's talking to you telling you to turn around or get off at the next junction? Listen to her, she knows what she's doing! 😆

Congrats on becoming one of 3 motovloggers that I drop everything I'm doing in order to see ur latest video. I'm shipping my bike over the pond next spring to explore all my ancestors stomping grounds. England, Ireland and Scotland. Keep laughing Saffy!!!

And animals good video, it's been a longtime since I slept on the floor sleeping on the ferry, certainly brought back a few memories lol 😆 looking forward to next week's video

I think you'll find that was the Irish Sea rather than the Atlantic. Well done on the vlog.

Saffy, It's the Irish sea, you cross from Holyhead to Dublin. Bless. Stef

Great video..I’m going to Ireland for the first time next year on the bike.i need 1 yr planning not 1 hr..I take my hat off for you doing this tho…just wondered if you need a passport for Ireland..did you get asked to show it at all?..thanks for your great vids

You Saffy, are bloody mad and you know what? I love you for it!! lol Just keep doing what you're doing! :)

N plates are new drivers. They have past their test and have to display the Numpty plate for 2 years. Love your outlook. Thanks for the great video

The fast ferry is only 2 hours, no point trying to sleep. You will likely need some waterproofs

Great video as always 😊

Hi saffy you go girl sure you will be fine just enjoy the moment that's what I do lol ride safe and take care xx ❤️👍

Ah, the Irish tour begins.

Aww Saffy, is it wrong that I wait in anticipation of where or when your next saffiness will occur in your vlogs?😅🤪well done again on a great watch for a Sunday evening. Bring on next week 🙏🏍😎🤗

Welcome to Ireland Saffy, when your in Sligo it would be great to meet up.

I am going to Bristol from Ire next week on ferry. It is daunting for me too)

Hope you enjoyed your trip round Ireland. If you have not been to the Isle of Man it is worth a trip. You can come when it is busy with racing or outside the racing it is nice and relaxing. Let me know and can point you in the right direction. Cheers

You must of got lucky for it not to be raining I'm from northern Ireland it's a lovely place and if you go around the coast it's nice views plus your bike would love the route if you ever decide to go there. love the videos 👍🏻👍🏻

A great vlog saffy ride safe lovely greetings from st Helens Merseyside

Lovely vid. One thing, at 6:54 can we just take a moment to doff helmets to that Pan European's numberplate, featuring the best placed plate bolt in history. Ace!

Some of that trip looked very familiar to me... namely the A55! As far as an Ireland trip goes, I Googled the ferry prices once 😅

Don.t forget to head up to Northern Ireland some majestic scenery where i live just outside Belfast.......🥰

Saffrooon! Beautiful! Eire also! You are making better and better videos! Have a nice trip!

Well, you won't be the first and you won't be the last to make those mistakes so well done saffy, keep going girl you're doing ok

Nice one sprocket 👍

Very jealous! But have plucked up the courage and am going to Wales soon. (Yes on the 125 will take me hrs). I am 50/50 whether to film due to the quality of channels like your's etc. Still might just do what I can do. (Am looking into bike covers n security and will research editing software). Have received soo much help am blown away a bit🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧💪

saw this ferry at holy head ,on my bike trip to wales,its what its about though isnt it discovering new places,must of been daunting going on your own

Crossing the Atlantic!! Irish sea ha 💚

Saffy, God dam it, you passed my house in Waterford. I could have put you up . Hope you enjoyed Ireland

Hey, Saffy! I've watched probably 80% of your videos the other day, and for some reason I just went on my first moto camping trip. Only 70 miles away, but definitely a new experience, it was amazing! And actually much harder than it looks, you must be paid for that much effort :D Only the straping on the luggage took me good 40 minutes :D If you think your bike is not perfect for touring and you laught now looking back at your older setup, now imagine a modern cruiser style bike with a removed pillion seat, on its place a bolter wooden base for top boxes. The top box is from an old power tool, if I have to guess around 15L +/- 2. And I just strap a big backpack on top, with bits straped to the bag. I've myself filmed the trip, might try to put a video. Cannot even imagine, the feeling to be on tips as much as you, and without any previous experience, you just jumped on the bike. Keep the good work and one day we might meet on the road! Love and peace! Martin.

I had to laugh, we've all done this , I've been out of Dublin port lots of times and still have to concentrate so don't feel bad, they is two main routes m50 or go through the city. come out go left to a roundabout go right keep the river on your left after about a mile or so go left over a bridge then right the river now is on the right keep on this till you eventually go left on the n4 to m4. or out of port follow m50 signs, love the video content

Hi Saffy, danke fürs Mitnehmen. Freue mich schon auf nächste Woche. Lieben Gruß aus Berlin, Ralf

I don't want to be a bus numpty!!! 🤣

Been to Dublin once, in 2008. Made a music vid. Main thing I noticed was that the locals walk really fast.

That was a teleporter, not a tractor at the docks. Basic conversion of km to miles is 50kph-30mph, 80kph-50mph, 100kph-60mph, 120kph-75mph. An “N” plate is a novice driver. “L” is learner and when you pass your test you have an “N” plate for 2 years. Northern Ireland have an “R” plate which stands for restricted. Can’t pass 45mph for a year. In theory.

Spontaneous last minute trips are the best!!! To answer your questions: The Tractor = they’re doing construction work in Dublin Port. N = New Driver - stay well clear of them!! 🤣 For your next trip have a look at the Wild Atlantic Way and the North Coast (both in Ireland) - both amazing trips with fantastic natural beauty! Stay safe 🏍 👍
