Has somebody been watching ‘Itchy Boots’ ?
Yay! But you guys are to polite, don’t apologize for xyz, I’m very happy just to follow along on your adventures. Video angles and audio isn’t that important, I’m sure you will improve, no need to constantly apologize. ❤
Thanks so much, we appreciate that. New chin mounts have come and already the filming is better from them, so excited to keep improving for you☺️
Totally agree
Brilliant video. So excited for you. Sound and vision were fine. Good luck.
Glad to see you are both "dressing for the slide, not for the ride".
Yes guys!! Martha you did amazing. Felt the fear and did it anyway 💪 This is a dream of ours so can’t wait to follow you on this new chapter. You know to call or message if you decide to drive the Americas! We know you said it will be a long way in the future but knowing you two, you’ll decide in a heartbeat and be off on a big adventure next year 😍😅
Thank you so much!! Yes we’ll 100% be picking your brains, haha you’re catching on to exactly how we are, that’s so true 😂
You did absolutely fantastic Martha. I got my bike license at the age of 54. And thank god I did. It saved my sanity through our severe lockdowns in Melbourne Australia during bloody COVID. You go girl. Chick bikers are awesome. And remember always, practice makes perfect. And mistakes are how we learn. I made many and still do. I loved this video. Good luck guys ❤❤
Thanks so much, it means alot ❤️
Well done Martha! It takes a lot of courage to get on a motorcycle and ride on the road for the first time. But as you grow more confident and the fear of riding recedes, you will begin to appreciate the pleasure of riding and travelling by motorcycle. There will be falls and mishaps along the way but I have no doubt that you will get up and continue. I look forward to seeing you both on two wheels again.
So very true, thanks so much🥰
Dear Martha well done young lady for passing your bike test it takes guts and mitch well done to you for keeping calm dude don't go camping any more book a static caravan it wod be more safer and warmer
The amount of friends you will make when riding, holding ride day meet ups to give advice to newcomers and the like. 👍
I started motorcycling in 2004 and I think I was about your age then (Now 20 years older but still very young!) I started with ordinary streetbike. The first Norway trip I did in 2013 and first trip to the Alps in 2014. I was riding both streetbike and endurobike from 2015 until 2021 when I decided to sell my streetbike. Now riding Enduro (or Adventurebike) only.
I've had few times a proper training day about Enduro riding and even I'm getting quite often the feedback that I'm a good rider I'm still thinking that I have a lot to learn!! Luckily now I'm slowly starting to be old enough so that I don't think I have to ride all the most amazing (and dangerous) places... I think I will be very happy with quite ordinary rides and places.
But one thing I want to say to you is that I hope you will always stay humble about riding! Don't ever think "Now I got this, now I can do anything!" Even the best racing riders don't do that. They always think they have more to learn, they still can be better!
Here's one video for you to watch. It's a Nowegian couple about your age. They were trainig quite a lot before they decided to start the adventure. They started their trip from North Cape 3 years ago and this video is from the second day: ua-cam.com/video/eaxbMswyCEk/v-deo.html
Motorcycling and adventures with the bike can be totally amazing and I really hope you will have all the great adventures ahead of you!!!
Best regards from Finland! GozaMite, the Linesman of TET Finland.
You guys rock. Traveling on two wheels is the best. Go slow, lots of stops, don't worry about trying to cover distance. Have fun.
Martha. You will be fine. Practice is all you need. Look forward to the upcoming adventures.
Thank you, practise makes perfect🤞🏼
Knowledge plus experience = WISDOM. Well done both and do take care of each other. xx
Yes! Thank you!
Well done! Took me 5 years on learners to get my full motorbike license so you are doing very well. Getting the license and doing the tests was single handedly the hardest thing I have done. Hope you do a motorbike tour (without the van) like you did in Vietnam. Keep us posted on your adventures and all the best!
That’s the big plan in the future, to go around and travel full time on the motorbikes so stay tuned👀
Hi Martha and Mitch, Great to see you both planning a new adventure. Just watched your latest video with Martha doing her bike test ,she did realy well. Hoping to do my motor bike test soon . Had an ap 50, years ago ,to ride to collage ,but never did my bike test.Shortly after 17 i did my driving test and had a car. Now i live in Austrlia with better weather i should get on and do my test. Love all the content both of you have produced, I'm sure your new adventure will be a great success.Even if your home on wheels has to be sold , im sure you will have another,most inportant you have each other, and your familys.Wish you well , and look forward to watching all your great new material. Mitch is a great guy ,and has a good sense of humor.Matha you are always up to try anything and give it ago well done. Bye for now Tim Melbourne.
I think you are doing fantastic Martha, and Mich will look after you.
Well done, Martha. You need to believe in yourself more. You've done amazing. ❤
Thank you so much!
You 2 are inspiration if you don’t like something you change it . Martha you are doing great. Keep getting out on the bike. I’ve been a biker for 36 years I think you’re a brave girl. I look forward to watching your new adventures
Thanks so much!
OMG! How absolutely brilliant! Martha is a superster, she is doing so well. I really wasn't expecting your decision, I thought maybe you'd just be taking the Grom along with the van in future, but you'vemade the best decision ever! I've been riding all my life and it's the best way to travel. I live in Croatia where I host off road riders from all over the world here in the countryside where there are fantastic trails all around. If you do come through Europe on the bikes, please do get in touch and I will happily host you and take you out on the local trails which are amazing. My top tip for Martha? Slow control. Really focus on that and you'll be all good for the difficult manoeveres in the tests com ing up and for off road, slow control is super important for avoiding drops on the rough trails. I'm really excited for you both and totally hooked now on your channel, which I've really been enjoying up until now anyway.
Thanks so much!! Ah that’s sounds epic, thanks for the offer!😜 we’ll keep you updated on when we’ll be passing through. We loved Croatia last time we were there in the van!
Thank you, I’ve been practising for the past couple of days with the slow stuff and posted on insta some of my progress too, it’s coming together bettter now 🤞🏼😊
Congratulations Martha, when I did my CBT I pulled away for the very first time on a bike and did a wheelie!! 😳😳
You’re going to love it, nothing like the freedom of being on a bike 😊
Hahaha that’s ace😂 thanks so much!
she is doing very very well for not having any experience you just need to relax. just put some music on not to loud and go out by yourself and just drive, after about 1 week you'll notice a big difference in your confidence and will feel a lot better about your abilities.
Thanks, every time I go out my confidence is improving each and every time
This is so exciting, Martha you are doing amazing, looking forward to watching you progress to you full license, and your future adventures. Ride safe both of you.
Thank you so much!
Every one started at the bottom, experience takes time, you’ll get there, make you a better rider. Safe one
Excellent well done Martha ! You are doing fantastic. I know how you feel as i did a 5 day access course at LDC in Burton from never riding before. Best thing i ever did !! You and Mitch i wish all the best for your exciting bike journeys ahead !
Ah no way! Thank you so much🥰
Great developments!! 🙏. Look forward to seeing the bike trips!!
Can't wait!
My wife and I ride. She's been on and off over the years. I could say you don't need advice and will be a natural but in truth after 40 years I still learn every ride.
*You go where you look*
*Don't target fixate*
*Power can get you out of trouble*
*Learn to countersteer*
Stay safe both of you 🙏👍
Thanks so much, great advice. I’m looking forward to learning more and more each time
Brilliant,is very easy to get a bit complacent when you get the hang of it,always be ready for(I didn’t see you) motorists!Dont be put off if you have a little tumble,maybe when maneuvering,we’ve all done it!riding a motorcycle is great fun,you’ll love it shortly!
Yes of course, got to be patient with the process and enjoying the ups and the downs! Loving it more and more each time!
and great to see the subscription numbers going up by the week.....almost 20k now!.....hats off
I know it’s so crazy to us!! Thank you!
I am downsizing from my caravan to just having my Transit van, I normally have 2 bikes in my transit and tow the caravan but now it will be just one bike in the Transit and I have made up a bed, fitted a small fridge and power station, just the basics, hopefully it will give me more travel options here in Australia.
Towing a caravan that is 19’6” and weighs 2500kg is not fun, but to a degree living off a bike can be frustrating at times, cold and wet not fun and extreme heat not fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do, fun is where you find it, motorcycle travel is the best travel but it does have its negative side, battling through bad weather and bad roads make you dig deep, unlike a van when you can just stop and jump in the back to rest or sleep, on a bike you have to keep going , and sometimes that ain’t easy.
Love this, can’t wait for more adventures…… Mitch giggling away at Martha getting blown around in the wind 😂😂😂😂 it’s all experience and she’ll pick it up in no time.
True love at it’s finest 😂😂
Well I wasn't expecting that news! Been watching you guys for ages. Martha I can't believe you are already on the road. Get the most protective leathers you can. Be visible. Can't wait to watch your new journeys, you are sensibly taking your time. Brilliant!
Thanks so much!
Brilliant vlog, can't wait to enjoy you going on proper adventures in this way. Well done Martha you did really well 🎉
Thank you🥰
Awesome.. well done Martha.. You nailed it.. looking forward to your adventures and how you's progress!! Stay safe!! ❤
Thank you! Will do!
Yesssss. Can’t wait to see the bike training and journey
Only 2.40 mins into this video. And wow. So cool. So happy for you both. What a life to have. Great stuff.
Wish you both the best 👍👍👍🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️
Thanks so much!
You are doing fine.
I got back into motorbikes in 2020 buying a crf250ralley and also being short (5’6” 29” inseam) I did find that it felt very tall, however you can get a lowering kit for it, takes it down 50mm which may help with confidence. I also took the bike over to Groningen (the Netherlands) where i was working and after 6 hours in the saddle I definitely needed the rest (maybe see if you can get a comfort seat on it if you are doing long days.
Wind - on breezy days you will find that if you are overtaken by or overtake a big HGV vehicle the wind will catch you when you are clear, just be mindful.
Potholes etc - if there is anything in the road that is a danger, do NOT look at it, concentrate on the line that you want to ride to avoid it because the bike will go where you look.
Gear - you do not need all the latest technology, if you get layers, something warm close to the body, a jacket and trousers offering some protection and a lightweight waterproof store away jacket and trousers that you can put over when it is raining.
Phone mount - I use quadlock complete with charging head and vibration damper (must have a vibration damper so that you don’t damage the phone camera) also get the weatherproof shroud because strange things happen when riding in the rain.
Have a great time
Do whatever makes you happy, let life take you wherever it leads. More than happy to follow and see whatever happens next.
Thank you so much❤️
Well done for getting your CBT .Looking forward to your bike adventures....Stay safe.
Thanks, will do!
Don't worry about what other people think it's your life enjoy it.
I've been riding for 45 years and sometimes I ride in walking boots and fingerless gloves. Utube seems to make people very on edge that someone will be making some negative comments.
That's the beast that's utube.
Relax and do whatever you want to do and enjoy the experience.
Film whatever you want to film and stop apologising 😂
Will follow your journey..sounds exciting.
I think you will find the sooner you are riding the CRF you will feel much safer on the roads.
Groms are great but small wheels and limited suspension have their issues.
Well said, Thanks so much ☺️
Another brilliant video. Love the plans and Martha, you are knocking it out of the park. All you need is to keep getting out there and riding. 😊
Yes! Thank you!
Great video again guys. I was impressed with the quality of the audio so don't stress! I've been riding since I was 17 (20 years) and it's the best feeling and best way to experience places so you guys will have the best time! Take it easy and enjoy it!
What an exciting new chapter. Looking forward to following along on your adventures
Thanks so much!
Well done Martha🙌🏻
Thank you🥰
20k subs!...woohoo!! 🍻 well done you two ....smashing it 👏🚵🚵
Thank you 🙌
Martha your a superstar 😅 you go girl you rode brilliantly….. and while you have no children go and experience everything you can… I absolutely love the pair of ya 😊
Thank you so much!!
I think your plans are great, looking forward to seeing them grow. Martha, you are doing brilliantly, especially for only your 3rd time out on the road. Much better than I did that’s for sure.
Thank you so much!
I think you're doing great, Martha! I'm looking forward to seeing all the road trips on bikes to come! 😊
Very cool plan, and well done Martha for smashing the theory and CBT! Loads of practice and you'll get your full license no problem. Can't wait to see more of you two bikers, it is such a great way to travel.
Fingers crossed! Thanks so much!
WOW this is going to be EPIC. Martha you're sooo brave and you're doing awesome👍. You will get even more confident each week... Ride safe both of you and remember to have fun.. atb Dixie❤
Thanks so much!❤️
Good luck with everything and look forward to watching your journey.
Thank you so much!
Cracking job. There's nothing quite like riding a bike :) you'll love it, it does get easier once you get a slightly larger bike, gears are more forgiving and you don't have to work a slightly bigger bike quite so hard. Looking forward to following your biking journey(s)!
Plans sound amazing!🙌🏻 can’t wait for the upcoming adventures!😊
Thank you!
Excited to watch your next adventure! Martha.. you have done an amazing job... you got on & did it.. well done..! I don't know if I would have been that brave! My parter & I are planning our van life adventure & hoping to start it in the next few months.. so I'll be watching all the old videos for tips 😊
Thanks so much! If you have any questions send us a dm 😊🥰
very excited for you both, more adventures the better and if Bikes is the way to go then I cant wait.
Amazing, thank you!
Martha, you are doing great, you will get over the jitters.
Thank you, I hope so
awesome... look forward to the adventures
Thank you!
just found your channel, subbed... Martha is doing great for a beginner, it just takes time for everything to drop into place... good luck to you both, on your adventures 😀
Awesome! Thank you!
I watch because it’s you not the van life, I enjoy the adventures and this looks like so much fun. Martha looked great for her first few rides out and the idea of a North to South America bike trip will have me hooked. Content was great, not sure what you meant about the noise it’s a bike? I guess you feel you can improve things. Happy watching Martha’s progress until you’re ready for the next big adventure. Your content is special and I hope your audience finds you quickly.
Congratulations great vlog again very proud of you on new bike enjoy I can't wait to get back on two wheels again soon and good luck with your new travels keep well.
Thanks so much!
Great Video Guys, you are a true hero Martha!!
Thank you so much!
As a motorcycle traveller myself, who also did Vietnam on a motorbike, I can't wait for your new adventures! Ride safe 🤙.
And Martha, you'll be completely fine, just get some miles under your belt.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good on you both and yes I’ll be watching, I’ve been riding from 50cc to 750cc and it all comes with practice and experience 👏🥳
Thank you!
Just found your channel.
Well done on doing your CBT.
I have a campervan and I trailer my Motorbikes.
Campervans and Motorbikes, The BEST combination.
Good luck with the adventures, I'll be watching.
Well done you two, what a lovely couple! I'm from Leicester but now living in sunny South Australia, love hearing you accents, is that East Midlands? So, I've got a van and big adventure bike. The van is quite basic just room to sleep and fit the bike inside. You could, as an option (and what I'd do) is take it in turns driving the van and riding the bike, having just one bike between you. Then you've always got somewhere to sleep and a place to brew up.
Yay well done you Martha!!! How lovely to share your future adventures on your bikes ❤️ ohh and yes Mitch gold bars are the BEST
Yes! Thank you!
The rattle at certain revs sounds like the cam chain tensioner not putting enough pressure on the chain. Not a major problem but needs sorting as it may put unnecessary wear on the cam chain. Worse case scenario the chain could break or jump and that would write the engine off. Hope you get it sorted 👍🏼
Good luck guys and don't forget your life savers ❤❤
Yesssssss mitch gold bars are the elite biscuit 👌👌
Well done Martha, you did great, and most of all enjoyed it, be fantastic towing two bikes on your adventures. Go where you first wanted to go, let that adventure start , can't wait to see you with trailer and travelling with bikes, very exciting. .
Thanks so much! 😊
Martha your bravery rocks! I think your videos are great no matter what you show. You have a good vibe between you ❤🎉
Thank you so much!
Love the idea especially because of how hilarious Martha is on the bike 😂 we’ve been chuckling the whole way through the video. She’s brill and a proper go getter. Can’t wait to see how you integrate van life with the bikes!
The nerves were real😂😂 thank you so much!
Welcome to the club!
I Think we might live in the same town 😂 . Well done Martha, welcome to the lady bikers club xx have fun you guys x
Hahaha no way! You might see us out on the road😜🏍️ thank you 😊
Great video!! I love seeing your adventures and this bike adventure is my favourite! I am taking my CBT next week, but I am more nervous about the theory test the following week LOL 😂
Thank you!! Good Luck on your CBT!😊
Well done martha.you were brilliant.love Yvonne xx
Thank you Yvonne😊x
Love the video editing on this one guys, gotta say it feels mad seeing you in all these exotic places around the world, to seeing you in my local area! Looking forward to the next one!
Hahaha thank you😂
Congratulations Martha on getting your bike license etc and your doing really good while riding and talking etc 😢on your bike
Thank you!!
Well done Martha! Hope you guys have some fab times on the bikes xx
Thank you🥰
Go Martha! Love the biker vibe… you’re going to love it once you’ve gained some confidence, watch other road users very carefully, that’s where your greatest risks are. I’m excited to follow your journey together over the next few months. Xx
Thank you!
I did the NC500 on my motorcycle and it was THE BEST trip ever!
once Martha has got a decent amount of experience id suggest taking the fan up there and doing a what they call ‘back to base method’
So you do a section of the NC500 then you return back to base and so on. Makes the trip longer but for you should make accommodation cheaper and if it rains or you have a bad day you can retreat.
I like the idea but I wouldn’t get rid of the van :) id just save up for long trips away with a plan on returning but you know yourselves best.
My favourite tent for motorcycles is a single wall Tipi tent. Go outdoors do them for like 60-100 when i last checked. They really light and easy to put up an down with loads of space to put all your gear for two people easily!!! You can stand in it to get changed in and out your gear too.
Look forward to your adventures😊
The NC500 is on our list and love the idea of the back to base method. Like we said, keeping the van would be our ideal situation it’s just to see how the money allows for it, so we’ll see how it goes!
@@TheJammyGits take ya time and save! Plenty of low budget fun to have on motorcycles in the meantime. You guys got plenty of years left!
Really happy that I stumbled across your channel while looking for Vietnam travel videos for inspiration whilst planning my own trip! I've binged watched more than 20 of your videos now, from 2am (Singapore time) to 6am and can't wait to watch more tomorrow. As a fairly new rider myself and having done the Hagiang loop, knowing how dangerous riding can be, I don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable in letting my girlfriend ride on her own and even taking her bike license. I reckon I'll be worried sick for her safety all the time. At this point I would be definitely more comfortable with her as my pillion. But someday maybe I'll be finally comfortable enough to encourage her to learn how to ride and I'll definitely use this series to show her that's it's entirely possible for her to learn and eventually go on bike trips with me. Your content is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see more! ❤ from Singapore
Alex :)
Hi guys, I know it might be a while off but being a South African and having travelled in Africa I think you guys would really enjoy it! Another great video, you guys are getting better every week.
All the best :)
That’s great to hear!! Thank you☺️
You did great, Martha! I think a trip to South Africa would be absolutely amazing.
Thank you!! It’s a dream of ours so I hope we can make it happen🤞🏼
I am in South Africa. Let me know if you need some help with anything.
1. click random video from youtube suggested. 2. oh that's a familiar CBT centre, i went there too!
Hahaha no way! Thanks for watching😃
Brilliant idea and can’t wait to follow your next adventure. Martha you did so well on your test. Top tip for riding slowly and doing a manoeuvre is to have very light pressure on your rear brake whilst still using a bit of throttle. Sounds strange but it really works. Give it a try.
Thanks for the tip, I will try that tomorrow. Thank you 😊
Well done on passing your cbt.The best advice is that you double check before moving off anywhere. It's the best pastime ever.The biker community are fantastic. Don't hesitate to ask them for any advice.Enjoy and be safe.🏍🏍
Thank you, yes I’m getting into practise with that for my test and in general too. I love the bikers nod on the road feel part of the community😂 thank you!
Hi guys, dont worry about that rattle on the crf, I had the same with mine, between 5- 6k revs then it goes away. Characteristic of the engine. Best of luck with your travels. X
Good to know, thank you!
Well Done Martha 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you’
So glad you have put your brave on lovely. You can do it. Give yourself a chance to learn and get confident. I’m looking forward to you guys doing this bike journey, can’t wait. Oh and there is a better bicky it’s a Tim tam.
Good for you guys, just watched both your last videos.. you are great fun..Being in our camper for the last 20 years, and just getting back from a holiday in KL, we think life is all about being different. 🙂🙃🙂🙃
That is awesome! So true, thank you!
Omg, I bloody you two. Yay 🙌🏻 I guessed it last week. Go for it Martha, I believe in you..
Yes, smashed it, knew you would. Just the test now, and you'll breeze that too. So proud of you. I can see you have really pushed yourself in many ways over the last few years.
Absolutely brilliant content yet again, and I wait with anticipation for the plans you have. Can't wait guys. Have a fantastic week 😁😘
Thanks so much, I’m really quite proud of myself. Hoping to keep it up for the big test 🤞🏼 thank you🥰
You will smash it! Another fab video 😁
Thank you!! 😁
By FAR my favorite youtube channel right now, reminds me of Top Gear or something
Thank you so much!!! This comment means so much🥹
That's a beautiful area for motorbiking - the Derbyshire Dales. I think I would be as nervous as Martha though. Bicycling or walking is more my pace!
The Derbyshire Dales are so beautiful and on our doorstep!
Awesome you are both doing bike vids now, and we'll done Martha for passing her CBT. I had a CRF300L, great bike, sips fuel - btw that rattle you had is very common on them, around 5000 rpm. Had it on mine too. Nothing to worry about apparently.
Thank you and ah ok that’s good to know, cheers
Great to watch and hear about your future plans guys. Love seeing your life journey unfold. All the best Martha with your riding and hopefully getting that test passed ASAP. Just wish I was 30 years younger and having my great life so far, start all over again. Keep up the great videos. Regards Rob
Thanks so much Rob, fingers crossed🤞🏼
well i doubt you will have a problem with the crf 300 itchy boots is still riding one fully loaded think shes in angola at min check it out see its capability's your both doing very well
Absolute love it you two are so inspiring pure gold and for them chips should have chucked them at them lol 😂 take care.
Haha thanks so much!
Yes!! Looking forward to the moto adventures guys, well done Martha you're doing great! You could try the GoPro Jaws mount on the side of your handlebars to capture you and Martha behind, works great for us.
2 very nice bikes there
Great vid. Massive respect Martha, I've not had the nerve to get on a bike yet. The video and sound are brilliant. Can't wait to see what you get up to. Well done!
Thanks so much!
