WE MADE IT from Wales to Fethiye on a Sportster
We are excited and in disbelief that we are on the last leg of our journey from Chepstow, Wales to Fethiye, Turkey. After 15 days and 2000 miles riding we are reaching Fethiye in this video. Join us as we journey to the South of Turkey to our lovely neighborhood in Fethiye.
Its not all straightforward, navigation becomes an issue especially finding our way through Izmir in the dark!
This video has tension at the border crossing and happy vibes as our Sportster Iron 883 ploughs along the countryside towards our final destination.
It is with relief and happiness that we end this part of our Sportster adventure...only to get ready for the next:
A Sportster Summer - riding in and around our favorite places near Fethiye, Oludeniz and beyond!!

In this exciting video we show you how perfect riding in Chios is. No other vehicles are on the road and it feels very special. The Sportster is rumbling around the country roads as if it was just made for this ride! Its a bitter sweet video as we say goodbye to this special island but we also get to break ground by reaching Turkey. The ferry ride from Chios to Çesme ıs short but fraught! First...

We have made it to Chios. Our initial thoughts are that this island has a special feeling of times gone by, traditions and superstitions. The village where we have booked accommodation is deserted... Tiredness is overwhelming us and when we have found our host and he shows us our 'room' which turns out to be a tiny cottage we fall asleep. When we awake we are ready for some food and eat at a lo...

On our 12th and thirteenth day on the road we make a special effort to get up and see the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens . Its a 5am start but we still don't see the ancient site as its Good Friday and it's not opening until 12 noon which is far too late in the day for us as we have to be out of our hotel and be ready to go to Patraius port for our ferry! Before this we take the Sportster fo...

We are so excited to be in Greece. It feels reminiscent of Turkey and we realize that there's not far to go now! The road is along coast line so the view is glorious along the way. We have a short detour when google takes us up into the mountains for petrol! We don't mind, we love mountain roads! Disaster strikes again when the brakes have a critical failure and we nearly back end a camper van!...

    Here we go again...., these two selfish buggers serving up all this sun and warmth in Winter, to someone like me, sitting here in cold. dark and grey, snow covered Switzerland, missing the sun and bikeing weather so much. Oh well, 'spose there is no justice for those of us who choose to watch this sort of video in Winter and feel so sorry for themselves for doing so. But, seriously though, what a journey/adventure that was, and what a lesson for all those who think they can't do the same, coz they need a "big" bike for such a journey. Congrats for reaching your destination and sharing the whole adventure with us. Look forward now to seeing more of the country that has always interested me, but never had any great pull on me to go visit it. Thx.4 all so far.

    Born to Roam from Tommy Welton. What a fantastic song and a super choice to start the video with👍. A very upbeat and holiday inspiring track, with a text very descriptive of me and obviously you two as well. Fantastic, luv it! After two days of non-stop snow and grey skies here, watching all this blue sunny sky and the wonderful colour of the sea, it has been rather difficult, if not painful to watch..... you're giving me, either itchy feet to get up and go, which funds don't permit this year, or the wish to go into hibernation for the next 4 months!! It seems the older I get, the less I like winter and this sort of video, certainly drums that home to me😒. Thanks for uploading this beautiful video..., and of course, i'll forgive you for any discomfort you may have caused me while I found myself "having" to watch it😉. Happy times, stay healthy, greets from cold and snowy Switzerland, Steve.

      We love riding in Turkey and we have rescued more than one tortoise from the road. Unfortunately, we have seen some injured and killed on roads too. 😕

    Oh look, it's time for the next instalment of the Iggs'n'Morts Turkish saga🙂, last time you asked what route I would take well, I don't like being on a ferry too long so always look for the shortest routes... Bari to Durres ALB is 8 1/2 hrs., that would have now been my choice. However, I dont know how that suits your journey for your destination. All I can say is, Albania has fantastic countryside with extremely open and friendly people as btw does N. Macedonia. And yet another good Video, thanks, i'm enjoying this, and if truth be told, i'm a little jealous of you doing it and not me!! Simon'sTip: when the bike batterie is weak, turn off all lights and any other electrics, and make sure the bike is in neutral, get the young lady to cross her fingers, toes and eyes, as you both hope for a miracle when pushing that start button. Emma'sTip: it's a pity you don't use an external mic when outside, as you have a soft, (but sweet) voice, it might make a better watching and listening experience, and save you time and bother of writing text..., that sometimes disappears from the screen before i've read it all. Sorry, not slagging anybody here, just suggesting!! And i've now just realised, i've gotta wait another week for Patras and Athens😞. Yeah, having binge watched so much here lately at my speed, waiting a week now is lonnngg, but patience has it's....whatevers!? See ya next week.

      😃thank you for watching and for the amazing tips! I am trying out an external mic, a Dji mic2 which should be as good as it gets but I'm still learning and experimenting 😄I think I will try attaching a Lavilier mic and putting it on my helmet strap. Sometimes the wind sound takes away my voice, even though I have a dead cat on the mic😄 Simon is grateful for the tip too. It was scary when we thought the bike wasn't going to start!!

      @IggsnMorts 4 місяці тому

      😄thank you. I think that was a pool but out of service. The ferry was very smart! 😃We enjoyed it. It was quite noisy though as in engine noise. I think the bike problems were probs caused by the bike movement during the crossing, perhaps if it was secured it would have been OK? Who knows😉

    So, i've caught you up now, and am also in Ancona with my binge watching, and have another question: just wondering why you boarded the ferry here, instead of driving down the coastal route and taking the ferry from Bari...., there must be a method in your madness somewhere there?

    • @IggsnMorts
      @IggsnMorts 4 місяці тому

      I forgot to say in my last answer that we left Wales on the 22nd of April and rode fir 15 days to get to Fethiye in Turkey. We went from Ancona because we didn't realise there was another ferry port option in Bari😂its as simple as that😁 Thanks again for watching and for commenting. 👍

    Some time ago when I found you, by way of recommendation, I threatend to binge watch your channel, but life got in the way, as it does..., but now thanks to a spout of really crap weather, i've gotten to watch a few of the earlier videos first, and after, have followed this series, from Chepstow to San Marino so far.... and i'm loving it. Oh, and i'm falling in love with your accent, love to hear a Welsh lass speaking! A couple questions: When did this all take place, and what form of Navigation is the Pilot using? My tip when travelling with a small tank, always fill up evenings in the town where you make your stopover, and then go find the Hotel, well that's how i've always done it. Must save the next episode for tomorrow, just seen the time, it's knocking 2 am..., so good night!

      That's so amazing, we appreciate your views so much, thank you👍😃 We just use Google maps for navigation with instructions through Iggsy's headphones 🎧 Thank you for the petrol tip👍our Sporty only has 100 miles in the tank so we need to fill up frequently as you can imagine! Keep watching and commenting we love to be able to interact with people watching😃👍
