You two deserve a medal. I told you before Wales and Rain go together .😂. You are both great motorcyclist ,iam glad you are both back safe and well. Take care
Nice bit of filtering... including the best example of what we have to watch out for, a car moving from a stationary lane, to another stationary lane 'that's moving faster'. Funnily enough, on my last trip to North Wales in September, it rained like that on the way home. I left sunny but chilly Wales looking like the Michelin man in my one piece suit. By the time I got to Raglan I was well pleased to be wearing it. Those Voge 900's really seem to be going well.
Rich & Ewa. Maximum respect to you both! I’ve been riding since 1979 when I bought my first bike (a brand new Honda XL185) and I can honestly say I’ve never ridden in conditions anything like those on this video. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for eradicating any lingering thoughts I might have had about moto camping! Yes, there’s little doubt that there’s some money to be saved by camping but I’d rather travel light knowing I have unlimited hot water, a hot meal, a cold beer and a warm bed waiting for me at the next hotel! The thought of waking up in a cold wet tent is the stuff of nightmares! Rain, motorcycling and camping……an unholy trinity!!! However, you continue to impress me with your tenacity, resilience, dogged determination, humour…..and cheese suppers!! Long may it continue!!!
Well said ABD. I'd love to be able to b&b with light luggage, it sounds great too. There's pros and cons with every method I suppose. As long as we have fun doing it, carry on carrying on!
Hard core! Great to see how you cope when it's that extreme. Looks like the Voges stood up to the challenge and impressed by the hard luggage. Great video as always! 👍
The rain doesn't bother me at all anymore I think I just got used to it and I find it soothing to ride in once you have good quality rain gear.The only thing that frustrates me is putting tent up or taking it down in the rain and trying to get those wet hands into the gloves.❤ride safe guys.
At least the tent was a success and the coffee maker looks like a brilliant accessory in grim weather! That rain looked disgusting, you did well to keep upbeat, we’ve had enough of it now surely?!
A good point about the luggage , the quality now is better than some of the so called named brands easy. The bikes for me they are as good as many others but time will ne the judge of that. Hard slog in the rain no matter what bike your on great video.
Yes I have to agree, in the short time we have had these bikes I have had a real hard time faulting them! The heated seat and grips were nice on this ride, wow that was a horrible ride, one of those days when you begin to wonder if it’s worth the risk anymore or should we just pull over and find a hotel. If we had been further from home I would have close to do just that
Just watched this rerun of every camping trip I've had and remembered why I toured France from top to bottom and side to side by going IBIS to IBIS.....( Perfect boiled eggs and ham for breakfast)....then I got confused at the end because i'd forgotten you were testing Voge bikes and thought " that top box says Voge. How did they fit that on a Honda rack?"...cos i'm that daft. Well done for getting back to civilisation safely.🏍️💨💨🍻👍😸
Great video again, never been camping on the bike, usually stay in B&B's and just no room when 2 up for a tent and all the stuff, fair play to you both, I have know doubt it can add to a tour. I had the same torrential rain in Spain 4 years ago, never eased for 200 miles, we where soaked to the bone, even with oxford wets on, even the helmets were soaking inside, when we arrived at the hotel for the night, we were greeted by the manager, who was a biker, with an umbrella, which he quickly folded again, seeing there was no point, at reception the floor turned into a swimming pool lol, then the rain stopped. and sun came out in the evening, But it was an adventure, and something we still laugh about, gotta love biking. Keep it up, you guys make me smile.
I use Google Maps all the time. There is no problem downloading maps beforehand and they don't take up too much space on your phone. The only thing you lose when there is no signal is the live traffic info :) Great video. I live on the South Wales coast and ride on all the Brecon Beacon roads quite often. Due to the incessant rain this year I've hardly gone anywhere !
Kin'ell!, I don't like rain like that on a Motorway! Great ride both of you, interesting car manouvre at 8.28 on the clip 😳😳 Glad you're home safe. Cheers until next time. SteveD
So glad you both got back safe & sound guys 👍🏼 Bet it was a bit frustrating Rich getting that tent back in the bag as it ballooned 😂😂😂 looks like the Voges are proving there worth🤔 seriously would consider buying one myself !!! Seems faultless up to now 😳 have a well deserved rest after that ride 😎
When at home you can choose to ride or not in bad weather,but when you’re on the road you have no choice,reminds of a 200 mile section of the Nc 500 I did a couple years ago when it absolutely hammered down for 196 miles of the 200 I had to stay in ft William for 2 days just to dry out. Great vlog guys all the best,👏👏🏴✊,KTF.
"Alrite me luvvers". Love you guys. Found you by "accident" as I was looking for items on the Voge. So glad I did; been following you ever since. From an Ex'ter bey.
Actually, really interesting to watch. I admire the spirit, but I'd have bottled it and gone premier inn. Even the temptation of a cheese sarnie wouldn't keep away from a hot shower, warm pint of ale and full fatboy brekkie. Respect. Those panniers are also really narrow, lno wider than the bars? Really important for filtering. I think the bikes are great, but smaller and lighter is for me now. Would they lend you the 525? Good watch. Ride safe 👍
Its called liquid sunshine!! No point worrying if a tent is wet as it needs unpacking. That coffee machine is so cool tho. Ridden in rain so heavy that we has to slow to 20mph cos no visability. Also put soaking bike gear on knowing ot was going to dry during the day. Not nice and my worse is putting on a soaking wet helmetnew saying....."wetter than an otters pocket!"
@@ontheroadadventure been there done that boil in the bag all in one suite helps Hopefully you didn’t meet anymore fookwits in Wales We’re nice really 🤔
You two are as mad as a box of frogs but a very well done to you both for going out in that lot . I bought the carpurid this yr went to the bottom of Portugal with it & i ues sygic maps of which i found to be very good tells you all you need to know as your rideing where the next petrol station is when there is a speed camera coming up & a lot more . Question how does the Oxford oversuit do in that rain 🌧️ ? have fun guys regards Ray
That looked fairly damp, sometimes you've got to just hunker down and get on with it. Years ago I bought the cheapest Klim goretex jacket and trousers which were still bloody expensive mind, and when I'm riding through biblical rain I never regret splashing out on good gear, pun intended. They're still going strong after many years although I do regularly wash and reproof them. Looking forward to some winter trips. Love you. Bye.
Hate riding on a motorway in heavy rain, too many idiots driving at excessive speeds….accidents waiting to happen! Well done both; I guess you enjoyed a hot meal after that and a good sleep🛌💤💤💤
@@ontheroadadventure I may take some stick for this but I reckon BMW (&Audi) drivers read a different version of The Highway Code to the rest of us; either that or their cars come with a ‘How to drive like a dick’ Manual!! 🤪
Well done folks for battling through, once you get your gear on and get on the bike semi dry you are usually ok if your gear is fairly good, camping in the rain is no fun, nice inside listening to it but that's all. 2 questions, what;s that big screen carpride? sat nav thing and what's the name of that alarmed disc lock? love u bye🥰
You two looked super happy to be home!! Nice vid, pleased that you published it, living in the UK ain't all Cakes And Ale when it comes to the weather, very impressed with the panniers, bet they're a fraction of the price of a European "branded" set...... which is also made in China!
Welcome home safe guys. New subscriber here, loving your raw style. I have to say, my Triumph Trophy 1215SE has been all over the UK in ‘biblical’ downpours; the panniers and topbox have done Triumph proud. My Pan European before would let water in but never had an issue with the Triumph. Back to Northumberland from Sussex tomorrow, but might have to take the car as I’ll probably be bringing some stuff back, we’ll see. All the best
Three types of people (in cars), when you are filtering, those who help you by making space, those who are oblivious to you, and those who make a conscious effort to block you! My water-proofs let me down on Monday this week (07.10.24) commuting 15 miles to my home from the centre of Manchester, well Old Trafford really. Fortunately I had picked up some new boots, the previous Saturday, so at least my feet were dry. I just hate the lack of visibility, when it's hammering down!
Those people that try and block you are just jealous that you can make progress while they are stuck, some awful idiots on the road, oxford rainseal overboots are good and Scott waterproofs.
Little tip, try to put your lock through the disc and not just the spokes, scumbag thieves usually carry bolt croppers and will cut straight through the spokes in seconds.
Please get the lanyard to connect it to your bars so that you cant forget to remove your disk lock lol lucky catch . Now that's commitment riding in that weather . Great stream guys love ya take care👍👍👍❤
Well done guys. I hope you dry out..😂😂😂 Are you wearing the Irondijas denim jacket Rich. ? Looks similar to one Ian Hughes recently reviewed. If so, is it any good. ? Stay safe Ade
I did ask you about the seat high. As I am 5,8 with 29inside leg. Next question is. How is the seat for comfort. Take care. Ps what make is your coffee maker.
Absolutely great, they are not cheapo tyres like Chinese bikes used to come with, in fact it seems all the components seems to be as good as any other bike or better in the cases of the panniers it seems!
As always very entertaining , never thought I’d consider a Chinese bike , indeed I thought my bmw R1200RS was my forever bike but after nearly two months now ( put it into the dealer back in August ) of lies and disappointment from my local BMW dealer I know I no longer want to deal with them so looks like il be changing the bike and I can see a voge 900 appearing in my garage having seen how happy you pair are 👍 thankyou
You two deserve a medal. I told you before Wales and Rain go together .😂. You are both great motorcyclist ,iam glad you are both back safe and well. Take care
Thanks so much 😊

For us it’s just about making travel affordable, hotels just cost to much now
@ontheroadadventure hard to beat waking up in nature and an odd hotel when the temperatures are below 0😊
What a lovely couple, especially after that biblical downpour. Keep up the good work. ride safely.
Thank you! Will do! Great to have you with us
wet,wet,wet you two are proper hard core motorcyclists .
dry out , warm up , but keep them coming 👍🥰
Thanks we will be back on the road soon 👍
You did well riding in at that rain 🌧️
Thanks that one was no fun
What an honest video - I guess that was filmed last Tuesday 8/10/24 - it chucked it down all day and I do not envy you that journey!
Yes, one of the worse days we have ridden for some time!
You guys are serious..I mean proper serious bikers. Ewa, I'm really impressed.🌧️⭐🤟
Thanks Steve, we get it done 👍👍
Hard core! Great to see how you cope when it's that extreme. Looks like the Voges stood up to the challenge and impressed by the hard luggage. Great video as always! 👍
Thanks bud, some days you just have to push on through

It’s the putting on a wet lid I hate most!
That was still eventful , brings back memories of being a despatch rider on an XS650 😄
Yeah when you ride every day, weather like this is inevitable at some point
At least the tent was a success and the coffee maker looks like a brilliant accessory in grim weather! That rain looked disgusting, you did well to keep upbeat, we’ve had enough of it now surely?!
The coffee thing has to be our favourite gadget of the year!
@@ontheroadadventure I totally get that!
Oh the joys of riding in the rain...Well done you two...
Thanks 👍
Fun times in the rain great job can’t wait until the next one thank you
More to come!
A good point about the luggage , the quality now is better than some of the
so called named brands easy. The bikes for me they are as good as many
others but time will ne the judge of that. Hard slog in the rain no matter
what bike your on great video.
Yes I have to agree, in the short time we have had these bikes I have had a real hard time faulting them!

Rain sucks, but you did it. Awesome content... it's not always sunshine...
No it’s the real experience on this channel 👍
you two are amazing!!! Glad you got home safe yet another brilliant video. Hope you've warmed up by now! Stay safe
Thank you 😊
When it's not pissing down it's raining, well done you two.
Some good judgement filtering with those side boxes on 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you ☺️
As glad you both are home and dry. Well now. Great video.👍👍👍
Thanks, we need to go find our beloved sunshine again!

It all becomes positive memories after the misery 😄
I used to be in the RAF & had to travel from England to South Wales & every time I got to the Severn bridge it would be raining on the Welsh side!!!
Yep! Standard procedure 🤣
Well done guys! “Wet as an otters pocket”? Is that what you say down south? 🤣🤣🤣
It is now
A real world review, warts and all. Just how it should be 👍
You’ll always get it straight from us 👍
That Massive Mountain there’s a car park at the base lovely views at the top.
We would like to explore wales more

That is not nice biking weather. Well done both of you for doing it. Interesting that the luggage was water tight.
Excellent quality luggage, bone dry

Great ride both of you, interesting car manouvre at 8.28 on the clip 😳😳

So far so good!
Definitely stay in the tent...what beautiful British weather
Rubbish day! Some times you just have to push through
Bloody good on yer both 👏

Brings back memories watching you guys 70 know cant even get my leg over a bike now thanks
Vespa GTS 300 I get my leg through lol lol 😂and not over …they are sooooo much fun myself and the hubby have them …..brilliant fun
Try a honda 750 scooter 71 next week camping at Clacton now
Well we are sure glad to have you with us on our trips 👍
We really need to try Vespas! Never ridden one
That’s a very cool machine
You poor kids! That looked grim.
It can’t be a good day everyday! We still love it though 👍
This year in Uk 🇬🇧 has been horrible so much rain everywhere! You too done well! Good video great bikes and boxes?
Yes the boxes were completely dry inside! Amazing
Those bikes are sooooo bmw! Love the shape and quality of the luggage set .
Couldn't agree more! Just half the cost!
At 57 years old I’m done camping now,
Hotels and air b and b all the way.
Still love biking but I need my comforts now 😊👍🏍️
We can understand that, it is a sacrifice but one that means we can afford to travel more, one night in a hotel can cost 5 nights camping
I know what you mean !!!! I’m 67 😞 but keep going 👍🏼
@@DaveDytor-z4w good man ❤️😊👍🏍️ stay safe buddy
Actually, really interesting to watch.
I admire the spirit, but I'd have bottled it and gone premier inn. Even the temptation of a cheese sarnie wouldn't keep away from a hot shower, warm pint of ale and full fatboy brekkie. Respect.
Those panniers are also really narrow, lno wider than the bars? Really important for filtering.
I think the bikes are great, but smaller and lighter is for me now. Would they lend you the 525?
Good watch.
Ride safe 👍
I don’t know maybe we can ask them and see what they can give us in the future
Nice Wales wether drive to Spain or Portugal there is stil good wether good luck
It has crossed our minds
Yet another great video. It was good to see that the panniers didn't let the weather in, what your new helmets?
Yes the panniers have been really impressive. Ewa has Nolan carbon mine is LS2
That was rain but them bikes are the bee's knees and very smart bikes I must say
We are very impressed with them, every bit as good as any other machine I’ve ridden at double the price of these
I salute you both, that weather looked biblical!!!
Epically so!
you guys made my friday night 🍻 Have a great weekend
@@trekker8187 yup and mine
Sat chuckling on a cold dark night
We all get days like this, just got to push on through them
Glad you enjoyed it
Ewa & Ritch that’s bad weather ride safe 😇
Yep, no fun
Been lovely here on Anglesey all week , expect rain near mountainsjust like the lake district when we rode up there at the beginning of july 👍
It’s never fun on days like that but we always like a challenge
@@ontheroadadventure it's just the way it is, I enjoy riding rain or shine but much better in dry weather👍
Really enjoy your videos guys thanks again. 😎
Our pleasure!
Well done guys never pleasant riding in the rain. How dry did your Oxford rain suits keep you both?
Yes they are very good, and they reflect light making you much easier to be seen especially at night
Love watching your videos!
Makes me want to go out and do all that stuff 😳 but I’m 65 so it’s hotels for me !
Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
You can do it!
Great test for the bikes so far but blimey 9k ! I guess it’s the long term that counts but defo looking good .
We shall see… 👍
We used to call it mountain mist
Looks nice in the mornings
@@ontheroadadventure we had rain like that down through France all day it was horrendous especially with French drivers right up your backside
Its called liquid sunshine!! No point worrying if a tent is wet as it needs unpacking. That coffee machine is so cool tho.
Ridden in rain so heavy that we has to slow to 20mph cos no visability. Also put soaking bike gear on knowing ot was going to dry during the day. Not nice and my worse is putting on a soaking wet helmetnew saying....."wetter than an otters pocket!"
I hate the wet helmet feeling, that’s the worst
Good filtering d as lightly moist ride home 👍
Yep some days you got to just get it done 👍
@@ontheroadadventure been there done that boil in the bag all in one suite helps
Hopefully you didn’t meet anymore fookwits in Wales
We’re nice really 🤔
Wet weather testing completed 😅 I take it, you can remove all the boxes if needed, and I think the stuffing method for the tent is an approved method.
Yep doesn’t get wetter than that!
Be Interesting to see what the on board dash cam footage is like side by side your go pros.
Terrible I’d imagine 1080p vs our 5.3k cams
You two are as mad as a box of frogs but a very well done to you both for going out in that lot .

Yes we would love a upgrade on the gloves soon for sure
Hate riding on a motorway in heavy rain, too many idiots driving at excessive speeds….accidents waiting to happen!

Bikes and tent survived the rain. Not bad at all.
Yeah an eventful weekend we will remember for a while!
Afther a long drive in the fucking rain there is good hot meal and whisky or koffie
Only at home! Our treat is the heated blanket 👍
That looked horrendous! Not done heavy rain (or snow) for a many years now! Impressive that the panniers held up. How did your waterproofs do?
Thanks Andy, the waterproof tops are good they are Oxford rainseal bright and glow in the dark we have a video on them, very good

We would so love that 👌👌
rain gear review next guys.
Oxford rainseal bright 👍
Rode in rain like that in France for 3 hours on the way to Annecy. My waterproof boots were full of water, that ride was no fun!!!
No, you just have to grit your teeth and get it done
You are a nice couple take care and look after yourself.
Thanks so much, glad to have you with us
Someone said to me that Wales was always sunny, I countered with there's a reason why it's so green there RAIN 😂
Yes! Like Ireland the emerald isle
Yet another great vlog as usual.. can I ask how do you keep your visors clear in the rain
They are pinlock visors so don’t fog up
Little tip, try to put your lock through the disc and not just the spokes, scumbag thieves usually carry bolt croppers and will cut straight through the spokes in seconds.
Yeah we found that our locks won’t go through the disk in the voges but it’s alarmed so at least will wake me if touched
Please get the lanyard to connect it to your bars so that you cant forget to remove your disk lock lol lucky catch . Now that's commitment riding in that weather . Great stream guys love ya take care👍👍👍❤
Yes! We need to take the yellow thing from the locks on our twins
Head the driest area's in the UK which is Essex Norfolk Suffolk Kent
We want to go that way and explore some Viking history!
Monsoon weather, 😮you'd have been better off in a speed boat 🚤 🚢 😏 definitely not fair weather bikers , respect 👍
Many thanks, we ride on regardless 👍👍
Wet wet wet, proper troopers, otters pocket 😂😂
It can’t be a good day every day!
Well done guys. I hope you dry out..😂😂😂
Are you wearing the Irondijas denim jacket Rich. ? Looks similar to one Ian Hughes recently reviewed. If so, is it any good. ? Stay safe
Ade
No this is oxfords jacket they brought out in the summer, it’s AAA rated
How did the Oxford rain jacket hold up with all the rain?
Very well! We recommend them
I did ask you about the seat high. As I am 5,8 with 29inside leg. Next question is. How is the seat for comfort. Take care. Ps what make is your coffee maker.
I’m not sure of the height right now however you are taller than me and I’m flat footed both sides no problem
Wales & rain: It's the law.
Only in the mountains,just like the lake district-England
Horrible ride that was!
We got lucky there last summer had sunshine!
@@ontheroadadventure we had 3 days of torrential rain last year, went up and down hardknott pass, it was like a river 😂
Wet as an otters pocket, so which clothing let you down?
Our waterproof bottoms and boots need replacing. The tops are very good 👍
you are heros`s!
Thanks 👍👍
That guy you met yesterday knew what he was talking about when he told you to get out of Wales.
His way of giving us a weather warning!
How do the bikes handle in the rain? And the tyres? Good or bad confidence in the wet & cornering?
Absolutely great, they are not cheapo tyres like Chinese bikes used to come with, in fact it seems all the components seems to be as good as any other bike or better in the cases of the panniers it seems!
Que pensez-vous des pneumatiques sous la pluie ? Merci
Very good 👍
As always very entertaining , never thought I’d consider a Chinese bike , indeed I thought my bmw R1200RS was my forever bike but after nearly two months now ( put it into the dealer back in August ) of lies and disappointment from my local BMW dealer I know I no longer want to deal with them so looks like il be changing the bike and I can see a voge 900 appearing in my garage having seen how happy you pair are 👍 thankyou
I'm impressed by them and having seen them close up have decided I'm going to get one..
@@tonydogface also very impressed by these Voge bikes, be interesting to see how they fair after a winter or two, looks great though.
@@roadwarrior8560 I'm pretty sure they will be ok, looking at the finish etc they appear well made. Slap a bit of ACF50 on it!
@@tonydogface XCP Rust Blocker is much better than ACF50 , mind you it's not cheap
I think they offer value for money that’s going to be hard to beat
you've been cursed by the angry man
The Welsh curse 😆
can you review the camera please
Which one?
hotels the way to go, no tenting
Too expensive for us to travel like that now, the tent is inconvenient but it does mean we can do more
Hotels are great.......
Bit expensive these days!
If you stay too long in Wales you'll grow gills 😂😅
Oh good, we need them! And a boat
