Is Iran really as dangerous as the TV makes it out to be?

EPISODE 1 - IRAN
Welcome to the first episode of my new adventure travel series! In this episode I leave Shiraz and head south through the deserts of Iran towards the Persian Gulf, and meet many incredible locals along the way!
Hi, I'm Ben King, 22 years old from London. I left the UK in August 2017 and have spent the past 12 months riding my Honda CRF250L motorcycle 35,000kms overland from my home in London to Pakistan, and I still have a very long way to go as I attempt to ride across every single continent in the world!

i am iranian but live in america its my dream to go around iran on my bike maybe 1 day love your work buddy
On an all girl trip my wife, her mother and sister visited Iran without any problem. In fact they had a wonderful time.
More friendly and safer than London !
Great to see a happy positive person like you to enjoy visiting Iran. great filming. Bravo
I love this young vital generation that want their own experience to make their idea about the world and people. Love you
Hello : I am from Iran , You know some Persian words , so it it cool and useful to communicate with people , So I suggest every body to learn some necessary Persian words before traveling to Iran .
Amazing hospitality and I'm sure your loving the gas prices too
Brilliant stuff Ben - this is how UA-cam should be done! Can't wait for the next episode...stay safe buddy!
TheMissendenFlyer , my god you are here to!!! Can't wait for your Norway vids my friend
I invite you to visit the north of Iran. It's like a piece of heaven 😊🌸❤
I was watching ItchyBoots' videos from Iran (this must be why this video came up as suggested). Yet again, the Iranian people show themselves to be warm, welcoming and pleasant. It's really nice to see.
Two things dude that's better to be considered :
1- The oriental soundtrack was a pure ARABIAN one which is absolutely different from Persian Ethnic Music.
2- Thank you for using and repeating the word " Persian Gulf ".
Be safe Brother.
From IRAN ;))
@@Lobo-Lobo Historical facts aren't political. Fuck Politics! He said what Every Iranian and historian says regardless of the politics.
It has been Persian Gulf for centuries and will remain Persian Gulf for centuries.
@@Lobo-Lobo This is geography, not politics. Better study your high school.
@@Lobo-Lobo Depends how you define 'illiterate'. At least I don't say 'shut up' to a person how made innocent comments.
@@Lobo-Lobo any comments without 'shut up' is innocent to me.
@@Lobo-Lobo smh stop making this place a toxic comment section
Very Cool! Love seeing people exploring countries that the media tells us are "dangerous" and proving them wrong! Part of my cousin's family is from Iran and they're the nicest people, just amazing. Subbed!
2022, how obvious is it now that the media can't be trusted.
Great attitude. Kind soul. Amazing travel. Culturally sensitive and honest interactions. Fine editing. Subscribed.
Hello from iran .😊
What an amazing chap you are, a real genuine bundle of joy, people forget that smiling connects us, don't ever stop. Iran looks amazing and the people are so kind. This is what we should be watching, not go pros attached to handlebars of people riding up green lanes or across deserts with a load of wind noise.
Great stuff Ben - camera work, editing and pace is brilliant! Well done!
Humans by nature are tribal, and the forces that benefit from dividing us use propaganda to divide and conquer. Happy to see your genuine interactions and experiences paint a whole different picture that is portrayed by the warmongers. Keep doing you. Can't wait to watch your future adventures.
Reading your comment in 2022. The divide and conquer is so obvious after the scamdemic..
Well said. Love from Iran 🇮🇷🙏
Found You on Facebook a couple weeks ago. What You are doing is amazing. Greetings from Argentina!
This is showing so much more than your Facebook posts..... loving the genuine excitement and joy which you're giving out... (even if as a fast talking Geordie I can just keep up) - Keep it coming!
I love the energy you have, you make me laugh. You sure are a very inspiring young man.
And well done and thankyou for showing us the real Iran, it looks fantastic and the people seem very friendly. You certainly put the media to shame.
Ride safe.
Mike.
Really enjoyed your video👍👍 good stuff and amazing scenery!! Enjoy and stay safe🍀🍀!! Regards!
Excellent video Ben - good sound, camera, narration and no disruptive music/special effects. A great way to live your life!
I was born and lived in Iran for 22 years and riding on those roads is one of the best things. You have great skills with people too. The Arabic sounding music is also perfect mate. Some Iranians in South of Iran are Arabic-speaking so the music is appropriate. Apparently some fellow Iranians don't know this. Keep up the good work buddy!
Hi Ben, brilliant video thanks for that iam from iran but live in London for while wish I was there to tour you around iran thanks again looking forward to see more amusing video 😊
Ben, you're an absolute inspiration my friend. I watched the entire video from start to finish and your love and enthusiasm for you what motorcycles and travelling is both infectious and inspiring. I can't wait to get back on two wheels myself and hit the road. Looking forward to your next video and please stay safe mate :)
Following on instagram has been brilliant, but this takes things to another level! All sorts of stories of it being very haphazard getting admission to Iran with many larger capacity bikes getting turned back. Evidence right here of the right attitude, treating everyone with respect and positivity gets you a long way. Inspiring stuff, Ben. Off to watch the next one.
Very cool ! Very nice people and scenery !!! I just subbed, so I can't wait for the next vid !! Great stuff !
Loved your vid Ben, keep well and enjoy your trip!
Absolutely legendary video, Ben. Just listened to your Adventure Rider Radio interview and felt I had to check out your UA-cam channel. I expected it would be good, but this is of the scale! Amazing.
What a great adventure you're having. Wish I could do it someday. Keep up the videos mate, it really does show how great it is. Keep it up and have fun!
Nice video Ben...I hope I will ride my bike in Iran one day, amazing people!!! Keep the good vibe and ride safe brother....
Welcome to IRAN dude
Beautiful video Ben!! Iran is on my list of countries in who I plan to ride motorcycle!
Iran is nice country also Iran is not conflict country
See this video

@@ksa_1325. wtf fuck you
I went around the world sitting in front of the screen of my pc with UA-cam and people like you ... continue like that and may all the world's borders disappear in front of you ... and bon voyage !
Great video - looks like you're having an amazing time! :D
Wow! I have recently found your channel. I have to say that is one of the best ones I've seen (and I keep track of several motovloggers) the autenticity of your travel is just so amazing. Greetings from Perú my friend. Un gran abrazo!

From Brazil...

What an uplifting video! I'm so glad I came across it because it made my day. Thanks for making it.
Really enjoyable, your enthusiasm is quite catching with everyone - safe travels if you are still on the road!
Great editing! Liked and subscribed :) Cheers from Romania! Be safe!
Great job Ben. First I heard about you on The ADVENTURE RADIO motorcycle podcast, I was very impressed with you and your story in the first Interview, then couple of weeks ago I listened the follow up interview, and again more impressed. Keep up reveling the truth above the world, it’s amazing what you do, but most importantly BE SAFE AND STAY SAFE .
Great video - and liked the music as well. Well done Ben and keeping making the videos for youtube.
Hope you enjoyed visiting Iran as much as I enjoyed watching your video. Keep it up.
Mate, nice going. I’m happy you enjoyed the trip. As an Iranian, I’ve gone back every year by plane and now you’ve inspired me to ride there :)
Iran is just like every other country - it has beautiful safe parts and has dark dangerous parts. I’m glad you saw a good few places (even been places I haven’t ;P)
hi bro . im iranian . you cant see any dark dangeeous place in iran . all of our people are good and we like all of the people in the world 🌎. be sure if any people of any country come to iran they will be like my country
Great watch! Keep the videos coming, Ben :)
Absolutely Brilliant Ben If this is your first time editing it's amazing work. Like from me
Awesome video Ben!! Really enjoyed watching it and looking forward to all the future videos!!
I'm looking forward to seeing more from your travels Ben! Great video😊 👌
Great videos Ben, well done! you`re a true inspiration for all Adv riders wannabe 1 day down the line!! Keep it up and safe travels!!
Man I have not smiled in so long watching a person ride their bike. Great trip!
I am from India never visit Iran but I can say iran is most safest country in middle East and iraian ppl r very nice and great host for foreigner they give you nice guestur at their home .
How can iran be the safest country while it destroyed Syria, Iraq and Yemen by interfering and proxy wars
im wondering if your saudi or just dumb? american goverment not the people invaded iraq killed millions, yemen is bombed by saudi killing school children and syria is saved by syrian, russian and iranian goverment unlike you isis supporters
i love you respectful India people.
Oh i am from Iran but i am student of pharmacy in India right now
@@ksa_1325. shot off pls, Iran just support and help its Muslim brothers in all the world
Fantastic stuff fella , really good vid
Your adventures are inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us.
Really enjoyed the video, looking forward to next episode 👍
Very nice and helpful video. Human are One! We are all brothers and sisters. Have a good ride my friend. Greetings from Portugal. 😉✌️
Thumbs up mate, I hope you enjoyed your trip in Iran, I have plan to drive there next year.
The guy on the wheele is so friendly an warm
wow, what an amazing trip - the roads there look so crazy to ride!
Great content, I was looking forward for the youtube channel. Such an inspiration to travel like that. Hi from Chile! You should visit South America.
Greetings from Indonesia & your 777th subscriber, Ben. Great to see you finally made a longer video & uploaded it to UA-cam. Keep the rubber side down. Maybe see you some day here.
Hey Ben glad you made it to UA-cam
fantastic! All the best for the rest of your trip!
Glad you have a u tube channel!
Awesome Ben!! If you have a minute, please let me know what gear you chose for this trip. Bon voyage!!
Brave man! Good for you! Where did you get this energy and courage, I wish could do it as you! I hope you arrived back home safe
There are some @adventure Riding' groups on Facebook, you should be in it, and show most of the members what adventure riding is really about. Iran looks and sounds amazing, i'v got a friend who's Iranian, he has always told me to go.
Safe riding mate and keep the videos coming, i'm already a subscriber. Brilliant work.
Amazing! You're full of energy!
Nice video .... I'd like to ask you if you are from Ireland and traveling around the world how do you manage cell phone reception ?? What do you use as provider ?? Thank you
The respect and availability of this people towards others is incredible !! ... and whatever they do they do it with a smile on their lips. My partner is Iranian and I would not exchange her for any other woman in the world.
Hi Ben, I have been following your travels from the start on Facebook and just read your piece in Adventure Bike Rider magazine. I hope your leg was/is ok? Just ordered my own CRF250L motivated by you and The Missenden Flyer. Looking forward to my own adventures now. All the best.
The thing about those ride aways is you have to turn around and come back to get your camera. Looks cool though.
It's refreshing to see that you actually try to speak more Farsi beyond the usual Hello, goodbye and thank you. Kudos to you.
Hey mate, which panniers do you have? Would be nice if you could do a gear video, showing all your gear for your trip. Cheers!
Looks great, I will see for myself next week , any advice ?
how do you fund the trip and maintain your bike?
Is a Carnet required for travel in Iran? Is there a maximum CC's allowed?
: An Irish guy with balls of giant and heart of lion, greeting from Iran!
He's a plastic Paddy.
@@riptwan if he's a plastic paddy then that must make you.... a nobody
@@rufs6468 he's English, from London. But he calls himself Irish. That's a textbook definition of a plastic Paddy. I guess he has some Irish ancestor and the Irish passport is safer for middle east travel than a UK one. Shrug
@@riptwan ohhhhh lmao sorry thought you were insulting him lol guess I don't understand the slang when I'm on the bottom corner of the world... Have a good day
Fantastic first episode can not wait to see more ! What’s he bike ? Translap or Africa twin ?
Enlightening and uplifting 👍
Great this Ben. Will you be uploading videos showing from the beginning of your jouney to UA-cam Ben?
Wow. Greetings from Minneapolis Minnesota
keep posting my man ..... very cool
What happened to the soft panniers you set off with?
glad that you made it, next time come over to my house be my guest in Tehran
Just started to look at this video, first time on this channel too and had to stop after 1 minute. Not because I don't tike it, not at all. In fact it is so well done that I already have two questions about this video. Since I am an adventurer too and would like to do some videos on my trips, I really appreciate the way you present some things.
First, at the beginning, when you walk to your bike through the titles, the way they appears, floating in the air is really cool. Could you explain how it's done?
Second thing, the animated map at 0:55 is very interesting. Could you give some info on what was use to make this?
Thanks in advance for your time. Now I'll look at the rest of what will surely be really interesting 17 minutes. 👌Best regards
awesome stuff dude! its good to see that your bike is only a 250, its a dual sport right? cause you must of had to save so much!
In Iran hospitality was borne.Love from Romania
I'm your age and I just did my first 1000Km trip solo! I know it isn't much but it felt like a BIG DEAL to me. To the best of future your endeavors!
Wonderful! Such a joy to watch you enjoying life! Stay safe and ride safe! 👍
Awesome videos. I subscribed :)
I really like your excitement over visa extension :D. I can tell its supper hot in Bander Abbass, I was in Mashhad 4 years ago it was supper hot for me too that I got sick. I didn't enjoy my trip at all. :(
mint video Ben. .cant wait for next episode. take care out there 😎
What on earth. How is this so professional. You're going to have 1m views in no time!
the point is because Ben is warm n friendly, every where he goes, people welcome.
I usually travel extensively in India, make Vlogs and upload on youtube..
Good to see people sharing similar passion of riding accross and uploading the same on youtube for us.
GREAT CONTENT..
Dude I think you have passed through our county, Larestan in Far Province :). I come from a small town named Koureh!
Binge watching your Iran Trips tonight!
Thank you!
Shit dude your balls were sweating :D If you want to visit the south you better be going only during winter :D
Where's episode 2 already? haha Man I lived in the middle east for 2 years in Abu Dhabi and loved it mate. Cheers!
Hello King of the Road! I am so glad that you had a good time and were treated well by my people in my country. I have to thank you for naming the Persian Gulf after its own name. Really, really thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and please always try to remember that we the Iranians hate it by all means to be called, addressed and looked at as Arabs. Right from the start you chose Arabic music and I think it is the wrong direction in choosing music 🎶🎵 . On the third minute of the video, you performed an unauthorized overtaking 😉😉. Be careful and that was all. Drive carefully 🏍️🏍️ and stay healthy. 🇮🇷🇮🇷
Great work and play keep em comming
Great trip/adventure very well done. clearly not from Ireland though?
