The video sequence from minute 23.15 to 25.25 gave me goosebumps. The combination of the incredible scenery and the background music, oh my god ! I can feel your experience. Ride safely furthermore. 👍
Thanks!! We really enjoyed making this one and that road was spectacular - didn’t really appreciate how high the road is until we processed the footage 😁.
Glad you enjoined it 😊
Stunning and magnificant scenery and what a beautifull coastroad. I was moving in my chair while watching, as I was riding myselve. So good. 😎👍

Great video Sean & Em,
Looks like you2 had such great fun on that twisty coastal road .
Simply amazing!
Hi Alin, thanks very much so glad to hear you enjoyed it 😊. This road was amazing…so much so we rode it a few times lol 😁
@@SeanandEmily I would do the same 🤣
Great to see you two back out, we really enjoy your videos. What a place Corsica is!
Hi Cheryl, it was great to get back out again too and what a nice surprise Corsica is - we didn’t expect it to be this good 😊.
Nice to hear from you and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😊
Beautiful coastal road, dense forest, amazing beauty of Nature !!
Hi, it is such a beautiful island 😊 So nice to be surrounded my nature and the coastal road was breath taking 😊
You were my inspiration to buy my motorcycle.
I bought my first new motorcycle, a GS 1250 adventure AND I LOVE IT!
Thank you guys 😊
Wow congratulations!!! 🥳
It’s a fantastic motorcycle! Really happy for you! 😎🙌🏻
Incredible scenery and roads!
Yeah truly a European must ride road! Such an incredible island.
Thanks for watching 😎👍🏻
Some amazing scenery and twisties. My Goldwing would be almost too heavy to enjoy but my Triumph XC800 would eat that coastal road up and love every second of it. Look forward to the next installment. Ride safe.
Oh yeah the XC800 would be perfect!! Not too long to wait for the next one, thanks for watching and it’s great to hear from you 😊👍🏻
This was stunning to watch, thank you very much! 😊❤
So glad you enjoyed it, really liked making this one.
Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment 😊😎
A great video. I really enjoyed seeing the great road. Well done.
Thanks! This road was spectacular 🤩
Oh my gosh….. what a beautiful ride!!!!!
It was incredible!! Took us by surprise 😊Thanks for watching and the road that continues south was just as spectacular (episode coming soon) 😊
Wow that looked an amazing road towards Porto.
It was spectacular!!! 🤩
As Emily said 10 out of 10 just like you two. Thank you for your videos, they are on our bucket list. Enjoy the rest of your adventure.
Ahhh thanks! 😊🙏🏻 You’re very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment -we appreciate it 😊
I really had no idea about how amazing Corsica is. Thank you for that brilliant video, and I look forward to the next one. It looks like you are vegan. Is that so? The go-to snacks. Enjoy
Hi Susan, Yeah Corsica really took our breath away and we weren’t expecting it to be this beautiful either 😊.
Yes that’s right, our diet is Vegan and has been throughout this whole channel 😊👍🏻.
Thanks for watching
Looks like the stages out of Monte Carlo rally, amazing! Thanks for your patience and effort in making these videos
Yeah it does 🤩, a spectacular road! Thanks for your comment! We appreciate your words of encouragement 😊🙏🏻
Plenty more epic rides on the way
Beautiful place and amazing camera work!! 🎉❤
I love your expeditions. your videos are great, you do a very good job.
Than you very much for your comment! It’s great to hear you enjoy them 😊👍🏻
That looked a truly amazing ride. Think that might have to be on our to do list after Norway next year !
Great to see you guys enjoying your trip.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Andy, yeah it was a spectacular ride! In fact the whole island was awesome!
Hope your plans for Norway are going well! -might have already mentioned it but in case we didn’t -we have added a link to every heading North Episode with the full route of the day 👍🏻
Thanks. Will take a look
The Road Less Travelled: What a great adventure, fantastic mountain roads with awesome scenic views around every corner. I have seen mountain goats climb the side of Dams and sheer cliffs, don’t know how they do this, they are not your traditional climbers!
The little town looks like paradise at this time of the year, but imagine the only access is by boat during winter.
Your inspirational videos has now led to the delivery of my new machine, a Canam Spyder RT LTD Trike. A complete opposite in size to your Dads bike, as I am now 72 years young, this gives a nice safe ride with many feelings of a motorcycle. My first adventure was a shopping trip to Tesco’s to get used to the trikes handling, next adventure will be a proper ride, great fun…..!
Can’t wait to see your next video.
So true! Those goats are amazing, equipped with just their hoofs 😁.
CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 that’s an awesome machine! Such a great idea!
They look really good and as you say all the feelings of a bike but with the comfort of a trike.
We be are really happy for you and thanks so much for sharing your exciting news😊
So sorry that one of my European motorcycling adventures did not include Corsica. Many thanks for a terrific video. Your great adventurers with great story-telling skills.
Impossible to visit everywhere, it’s taken us a long time to get to Corsica.
Thanks for your comment and encouragement! We really liked making this episode as the scenery was spectacular! We hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😊👍🏻
Utterly spectacular! And, apparently, the road the other side of Porto gets even better! 😊👍
Thanks, it really was!! So great went back to cook dinner up there (next episode). Yeah the other side was also spectacular so much so that will gets it’s own dedicated episode 😊.
Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment 👍🏻
Truly magnificent coastal road, Sean you did amazingly well keeping the bike pointing in the right direction, I would have ended up in a ditch, or worse. Thank you.
Thanks Stephen! Appreciate your words 😊 No room for any target fixation on these roads 🤣.
Thanks for watching and we look
forwards to hearing from you again
😎🙌🏻
"i haven't watched the scenery for 10 minutes!" I can fully understand! The roads look fantastic! I went to the Dolomites with a group once, and at every top of a pass they would say: "did you see this or did you see that? " I was on a ducati st2 and had to be fully concetrated on flying up the bends... So indeed, i watched the foto's afterwards.. ( no go pro or 360 insta at that time).. Enjoy and thnx again for sharing your trip! Love it!
Yeah totally get that, it’s amazing how concentrated one can become sometimes! We really enjoy reliving the experience and it’s great when others that took the same route can relive it too 😊. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comments 👍🏻
Very beautiful there for sure thanks for sharing that beautiful part of the world. 😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻 from bc.
Hi John, it really was 😊 Thanks for watching we are happy to share this place as I guess it’s not so well known.
Hope all is well in BC 😎👍🏻
This is the best section so far, awesome. I went to Corsica a few years ago and was very impressed. Sardinia is also worth a look and is very close. Going back to the UK soon from OZ to see family. We will be also be going through your old stomping ground of North Wales. Very much enjoying following your adventures, keep up the great work.
Yeah this section was spectacular and the other side of Porto was awesome too!
Yeah we think we might have to visit Sardinia at a later date.
Oh nice! That’s a long flight but it will be nice to get back for a bit. Actually we are currently filming the heading West Tour and will be in North Wales in a few weeks.
Have a great trip! 😎🙌🏻
I’m running out of OMG:s 😂
That road is amazing.
I can see that Sean is a skilled driver and have faith that he got everything under controll, but it’s the cars, goats and falling stones that worries me…None of them should be trusted 🙈🙈
And Emily´s comment”we are your friends” had me laughing out loud 😂
Hey Johan, This is now one of our favourite roads -spectacular!
Thanks! Nope not to be trusted at all, had lots of messages saying these roads get a lot of accidents so we guess in the peak season it gets busy and more dangerous.
Haha always good to reassure the local animals of our intentions 🤣🤣
I had watch this episode more then ones, what an beautiful ride and amazing views you both made of this trip. I'm already planned my tour for this year but I'll put this one on my top 10 list. Also great timing of the year to go there now.
Hi, we really like this episode too! And it’s featured again in todays new episode 😁 yeah Corsica is well worthy of the list but we would say go early or late in the season to avoid the crowds -apparently the water is still warm in October.
22:42 in background you have the monte senino , the highest " cap marin " in europe 620m atlitude .. really nice video !
Thanks for the Info 😎👍🏻 glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Huauuu!
😎🙌🏻
We did that road quite a few years ago. I have a fear of heights so it wasn't my favourite road. Corsica was absolutely beautiful.
Totally understand that, not afraid of heights but even I had to take it easy in this stretch of road 🤣 the sheerness of the cliff I was unexpected but spectacular!! We love Corsica too -a beautiful Island 😊
Thanks for watching
Been going to Corsica since 2004, on and off, last time I was there was in 2023. The road from Calvi to Porto, is spectacular, but its still rough as old boots.
We can see why, it’s a beautiful place and once you arrive it’s go go straight from the off 😊. Oh yeah we ride that road in the next episode -spectacular. Generally speaking the roads are not bad but as you say there are sections that are pretty rough 😁
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the comment 😎👍🏻
Booked our ferry from Livorno on Friday for a week, currently in Biella on our mini European tour but never never realised how cheap the ferry was compared to our local IOM ferry.
Hi Ian, nice one! Hope you're having a great trip and awesome you can combine Corsica with it too! Yeah I heard to IOM ferry is really steep! -Especially during the TT race.
If you need any of the routes there is a calimoto link in the description of each episode (and a free 30 day trial of the full app). All the best with your trip! 😎👍
If you like this, take a mototrip to Greece. If you want, I can share my GPX's from my 2023 trip.
Feel free to do so. I may be headed there later in the year!
Hi Barry, yeah we’ve heard great things about Greece 😎 would be great to hear your recommendations 😊👍🏻
@@SeanandEmily I rode 1200 kms from Belgium to Venice. There a 25 hours boattrip to Igoumenitsa.
day 1 : Igoumenitsa to Meteora (monasteries) (235 km)
Day 2 : Meteora via Delphi to Galaxidi (265 km)
Day 3 : Galaxidi to Loutraki (scenic routes) (220 kms)
Day 4 : Loutraki - Epidavros -Napflio-Tiryns- Loutraki (210 km)
Day 5 : Athens from Loutraki by bus
Day 6 : Loutraki - Korinth - Acrokorinth- Loutraki (300 km)
Day 7 : Loutraki - Mycene - Tyros (180 km but very winding roads about 5 hours of drive)
Day 8 : Tyros - Moni Elonis - Kosmas - Sparta - Pylos (220 km)
Day 9 : Pylos - Olympia - Patras (ferry back to Venice 32 hrs) (210 km)
As you can see, not much kms per day, but I took the time to visit historical places. I'll be going back next year, reride the same route and add some extra stops. Stay of the highways (toll).
@@SeanandEmily I rode from home (Belgium) to Venice. There I took a ferry tot Igoumenitsa (25 hours).
Day 1 : Arriving in Igoumenitsa around 14.30 local time, drive via E92 to Ioannina, and further to Meteora.
Day 2: Meteora visit, via Delphi (visit) to Galaxidi (small port town)
Day 3 : Galaxidi to Loutraki (touristic, but central to do nice tours)
Day 4 : Loutraki - Epidavros - Nafplio - Tiryns - Loutraki
Day 5 : Athens by bus
Day 6 : Loutraki - Korinth - Acrokorinth - coastal drive - Loutraki
Day 7 : Loutraki - Mycene - Tyros (very small picturesque seaside village)
Day 8 : Tyros - Moni Elonis - Sparta - Tagethos mountains - Pylos (small port town)
Day 9 : Pylos - palace of nestor - Olympia - patras
Midnight boat to Venice (32 hours)
If you take the ferry from/to Ancona or Bari, your boat time will be reduced.
In Greece, stay off the highways as there is much toll to pay and no fun.
I visited lots of archeological sites, hence the low amount of kms per day (around 220 on average)
