- All In tour Episode 5. Touring Europe by motorcycle from the uk will usually mean travelling through France one way or another. Our Moto camping trip continues as we leave our camp and head to the medieval town of Provins France for a unexpected surprise before sampling some French Food Ewa has found on our travels. Rich is not happy with his French cuisine or the devolving problems of the motorbike as his Honda Africa twin begins to leak…

Love the haphazard nature of your exploits, even if it's the opposite of what I do.
Everything is water off a ducks back. Oil leak? No dramas . Put the dinner on.
You should be on the TV. Comedy Gold.
More please.
Ride safe 👍
Ahhh worry about it later when it becomes a real problem! What can ya do 🤷♂️ Crack on 🤣
Really enjoyed the vlog. As a 72 year old biker it is great to see you enjoying something I wished I had done, but missed out on. Life is for living, and you both are making the most of it, respect.
Don, this is exactly why we have decided to do this… we hear this all the time, either retired people wishing they did it when they were younger and more fit and able or people who wanted to travel but never did. There are of course trade offs… but this is the choice we have made and we love it soo much
Too funny, you two! My wife thinks I’m a nutter giggling in bed watching this…life is meant to be lived to the max and enjoyed! Good on you both! 🙈😂😂🍺👍 Ride safe 🏍️🙏🏻❤️🇿🇦
lol get her to watch the videos with you!
You guys are so funny , the food segments of your videos always get me chuckling😂 thanks for that .
Great to have a laugh together, thanks for being with us
Think you should both consider doing a spin-off series where Rich tastes all sorts of different things. Maybe call it “Rich Rates”..? Some of ur reactions have been priceless.
Come up and try Haggis, Neeps & Tatties 🏴😛
Great vids guys, very envious of ur travels.
lol your not the first to suggest this! You all love to see me suffer 🤣
Random plans are the best way to go by far, seeing the unexpected never disappoints, really can’t wait to see how this series pans out, big respect to both of you for going for it. Life’s all about memories. Stay safe
Thanks so much, we love what we do so much and hope it’s possible to continue long term
That last town is just stunning
Lovely areas to visit here
Great show tonight guys, loved that little town. Man, y’all had Nan and I rolling tonight with the cheese and tree fruit…so funny. Quickly becoming our favorite channel, cheers 👊 PS the drone footage just keeps getting better and better
Hi bill, thanks for having a laugh with us 👍 How magical was that medieval town, we thought it was a film set! You never know what your going to get on our random adventures
I may be wrong but if you get the small traffic lights on red in the villages it’s because you were speeding on the way in. Others can correct me if I’m wrong.
Love what you’re doing. Keep it up
Yes this is common in Europe 👍
Guys you bring back some wonderful memories.. The wife and I toured Europe many times on our bike.. Only difference was with only one bike.. Unfortunately since my bike accident I can't camp any more, but seeing your experiences it makes me smile, and slightly sad as we can't do it again.. So enjoy.. Memories never fade..
Glad you guys got to do it for yourselves and have those memories together 👌
It would be good to see you both do the route 66 on the twins ( and we liked the drone shots today ) look forward to the next episode.
We would love to do that in the future, loads of weird and wonderful things to see!
Great entertainment as always; the medieval town looked like a lovely place to spend a day or two. Those French plumbs….’chewing a wasp’ 😂
That place was awesome, a complete surprise for us that we loved!
Nice one guys. What a village you stumbled on to. Will put that on our to do list.
We highly recommend it, I would stay there a night it really is that amazing
My husband found your channel this week...we are loving your vids! He is a Plymothian and I worked down there for many years..my first job was on Brittany Ferries starting in 1984! Loved seeing your footage! Your channel is a lot of fun! Ewa's a legend on her bike.
Best quote so far; "I love home, homes brilliant, I'm not leaving home again!"
Glad you’re enjoying our videos! You’ll have a laugh with us that’s for sure! We have some videos in Plymouth you’ll enjoy I’m sure. 👍
I've gotta admit guys, I do love the longer content when you put it out, it still seems to end too soon though, ha! always a pleasure to watch, addictive viewing as always.
Thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟
Thanks so much, we like to do longer episodes but we never want to bore you either
@@ontheroadadventure never, always top notch content 👌
Thanks ☺️
You both done it again , what a great video , loved the medieval town , love rich and his funny ways with food 😄 and ewa will eat most food , you are great at entertainment 😀, look forward to all videos you put up
Thanks so much Debbie, glad you enjoy them as much as we love making them
Your both great fun . I would love to take that trip with you .I can only guys what goes on when the camera is turned off lol. Keep them coming both great stream . Take care 👍👍👍
lol your not wrong, we have laughs that are just too much for UA-cam content! We are just two big children on our favourite toys!
Garmin? Two words…both start with T and end with M…superior mapping! 😂🏍️🍺🇿🇦
We are going to have to change something!
(8:24) EWA, did I hear you correctly? You don’t like chocolate. Oh no, no no no no we’re gonna have to have a sit down. Talk young lady. There’s a sign on the wall here that says. I’d give up chocolate, but I know quitter. Come holiday time. We send 5 pound Hershey chocolate bars to our friends, it’s a specialty item here in the USA. Hershey also has 10 pound Hershey bars and 20 pound Hershey bars. There’s no better way to a woman’s heart like chocolate.
It’s not normal is it?! But then ewa is not your normal girl!
You two are so funny together. The cheese ................ I thought those plums looked like cherries.
Povins looked like a real find.
Maybe you can get some mesh jackets further down the road? Nothing worse than boiling in the bag full on textiles in baking hot weather.
We considered it but carrying another big jacket is too much of a nuisance. We will look into a layered system for the next warm trip I think
The camp sites look nice, and pitching on grass is a bonus. Good video well done to the both of you.
Yes nice soft grass is a bonus this time round! We have had pot luck with the campsites so far
I think Richard should do a blind tasting sometime.
Don’t give Ewa ideas!!
I've probably said this before but you two are priceless !!! Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do! 🤣
I had 8 hours in the saddle yesterday riding from Warwickshire to Dorset via The New Forest, plus a lot of exploring while I was there. I find the more often I ride the longer distances I can do without the need to stop. I am currently managing around 3 hours before the need to stretch my legs. Meanwhile you are both showing us all how much fun a mainland Europe tour can be...
We try to stop regular so we can see something otherwise we will ride for hours and pass everything by! We do love a big mileage day though, it feels like a achievement to cross countries when you need too
@@ontheroadadventure My brother joined me yesterday (on his own bike) and I did enjoy the 'company' so to speak. He prefers the twisties but for me I enjoy endless motorways and A roads. He says I'm strange.
We have a friend who likes to ride motorways too! Each to their own as long as your enjoying your ride it’s all good
Looks like you guys have been having a good time in France, great to see and so funny. Looking forward to following your motorcycle adventures
More to come!
Great episode guys- lovely ancient town,not a bit of litter/ graffiti or errant feral youth causing mayhem!
A rare thing these days
Another great video. I used to travel to France on business. The first time I drove past fields full of arable crops that took me half an hour to drive past, I realised that France is basically a massive farm with a few towns and cities dotted about the place. Wow Povis was an amazing find, what an incredible place.
I think we all forget just how big France is, but France the Farm is going to stick now you said it!
(7:40) some of the roads that you were travel a lot today resemble some of our driveways. Of course here in the USA when we are on secondary roadways speed limit most the time are 55. MPH but will run numbered roadways like for instance US Road 50. Which crosses the entire United States. sections, you can get up to 80 miles an hour. Not Dental ever go that fast on a motorbike. I tend to stay about 60 mph when I’m pulling my trailer.
Go slow see more is our way to travel we love to find the smaller roads, always more scenic
Watching these videos I'm reminded why I often avoid admitting that I originated in the UK. Bringing English cheese to France is a desperately depressing thing to do.
What can I say… I like proper cheddar cheese! 🤣
Great content and photography around that town 🥰 , love the faces rich pulls when smelling food/tasting food and glad the Dad jokes are back rich 👍 😂
Thanks so much bud, Touring France will prove to provide allot of those faces 🤣
@@ontheroadadventure 🤣🤣
In 55 years no problem
Awesome
love your content great videos and tell it as it is in France planning a tour next year amazing info big love xx
Thanks Lisa,hopefully we can give you some inspiration for your upcoming tour
(24:25) there’s a section between Nevada and Utah. It’s best to travel at night where the temperatures hover around 104°F. That’s cool. Had to run across that two years ago with a hazardous material load. Kept my tractor trailer at 40 mph the entire stretch.was until I got to Utah where we actually started to climb mountains. To a higher elevation, but the temperatures were still in the low 90s 4500 feet. No gas stations, no food nothing. They don’t call it. Death Valley for a reason.
Now that’s a work adventure! I love challenging times like this, keeps things interesting
@@ontheroadadventure you didn’t know that you were all alone until you realize that you haven’t seen a vehicle come from the other direction in over two hours
@@dcijams I love that isolation
While you didn't notice, you have two big batteries in your bikes. You can charge everything with it. And your bike will start the next morning 🎉
We don’t like to do that off the bike, we would if desperate but we have other options from the solar panel etc before we need to. Better safe than sorry!
@@ontheroadadventure I prefer using an optimate SAE to USB 2400mA charger and having a jump starter with small powerbank as backup. Well, all roads lead to Rome. Or Germany. Or wherever lol
I’d like to buy a small jump pack to keep with us just incase
It's great to see you two back in the saddle. You two make me laugh with your great videos and the places you visit. Have a safe trip, and keep dishing up your great adventures and fun. 😄 Liked that cheese, then Rich. Ewa, you need to teach him how to eat proper food 😂😂
Thanks so much, We never set out to be funny, we never considered people would find us amusing but we love that people have a great time watching us, we love to laugh and and have a good time.
My theory is only worry about the things you can change… My engines leaking oil… well not much I can do about that on my trip without major inconvenience so not much point worrying about it! That might bite me in the ass later though 🤣🤣
Hi Rich I'm sure it will be fine or its 2 up with Ewa 😆
Yeah… there’s always a way!
Thanks
Thank you so much! You keep our wheels turning and videos coming, we all thank you ☺️
No, I haven’t checked, but did you put a link for this charger. The gentleman that is going to be riding with me for the end of the season uses a portable oxygen concentrator. And we need to charge his batteries while we ride. It’s one of the reasons why he picked the KR 650.the new 2024 is have a better charging system.. We’re gonna call our channel the rap bastards. My friend March will be joining our group. There were seven of us but normally 4 to 5 ride together on various trips.
Yes the links in the description for the all powers power banks, we use the S200 but there are different sizes etc there’s a discount code in the description for you too
All the people came out to town because they heard about 2 motorcycle travellers were arriving
🤣 Happy to sign autographs
Wow, Provins is absolutely stunning, real picture-book! Excellent video as always.
We loved that place, so cool and unexpected
Jeez that wagon seemed close to Ewa outside the cake shop! Good job she hadn’t backed up more! Wagon drivers are the worst!
They all drive so close here it’s unbelievable
Thanks again guys enjoying this one ☀️
Our pleasure!
If you're looking for strong tent pegs, try aldi. I buy mine from there It's they've got an orange top and it's like a screw. type of screw that you can go into the ground. Very strong bikini recommend this, but it's only when shutting the camping gear. Um, that you'll find them. Good luck.
We know the ones, we will look out for them being in stock
Oh yes mate those roads are great, so much more enjoyable than motorways, and I am with you on the Garmin, I got so sick of mine I dumped it on Ebay it and bought a TomTom Rider 550 which so far has been fine, so much more reliable than the Garmin, although I'm trying out an Android Auto screen just now which seems to be OK, so far but Im not sure on having my phone plugged into the charger all the time.
I have a new system to try out when we return that runs the Apple CarPlay wirelessly so that will be my next plan. Garmin has been a real let down
Brilliant Rich & Ewa,keep up the good work.I loved your description of the meal in the tin,it looked revolting.Can you tell me what sleeping matts you use,i returned to camping recently and finding sleep kit that is comfortable and keeps me warm seems to be tricky?
We have the thermarest topoluxe XL
11:53 good on ya guys 👋🤠👍take care
Hi Cliff! Hope your well
Top video, glad its back to full length 👍👍
More to come! We have lots to show you…
@@ontheroadadventuregreat stuff, look forward to it 👍
We trying to keep up on the road but it’s never easy from a tent sourcing enough power and WiFi but we do love a challenge
Join us on our next adventure, where Mr. and Mrs. grylls show us that with a bit of resourcefulness, it is possible to survive the harsh french countryside with nothing but a pocket knife, and a TESCO!
We hadn’t found a Tesco in France yet?! Conditions are harsh right now 🤣🫡
Croc Monsieur 😂🤣
Simple and effective 🤣
Tell Awe, I like my eggs, ( Shiny side up.)
Runny eggs are the best!
@@ontheroadadventure that's not what I'm talking about.
Then I’m lost?
@@ontheroadadventure detailer
Ohhh yes! I was waiting for the next video! Hope the tour is going fine?
So far so good!
Hi there how long are you going to be in France.If you got time go south to the lavender fields and verdon Gorge you love it stunning ❤❤.
Sadly we left France and moved on to pastures new but we will be back for more ww2 history videos in the future for sure
Have you ever tried a pizza from those automated vending machines?
Yes we did try one, not great but perfectly edible
@@ontheroadadventure been passed these machines in town and villages but, never stopped to investigate. Always moving on to the next campsite.
Talking of which, which app do you use to find them?
I used Campy on the last tour.
We use Google maps generally to find sites
as a fellow biker and camper i enjoy the show,some of the places and camp sites you go to are attractive,could you give names clearly of camp sites and towns you pass tru,in case we happen to be in those areas,also have you tried the municapal camp sites?we used them all last year,safe riding,ray
We haven’t found any of the municipal ones yet but I’m sure we will
God I love your vids guys! I get home from a hard long day and watch "Loads of F**k All!"
Your so welcome, we love that people are sat at home watching and we are providing something for people to smile about and enjoy together
Not sure why you're having so much trouble with the Zumo Rich. I mentioned in a previous video that I run Open Street Maps on my Zumo. Much better detail and appearance and I find my position is always "spot on" to the on screen map. Also the open street maps are updated much more often. Will try to show you what it looks like on the FB group
I’d be interested to see that, ours are giving wrong speed limits and all sorts of
@@ontheroadadventure two places to look are freizeitkarte-osm or alternativaslibres . Both are good. They have maps for the GPS device and Basecamp. Choose your map and download the file for the gps device (gmapsupp) to your laptop. Unzip it and you will have an IMG file in the folder. Connect your zumo to the laptop and copy this IMG file (rename it if you want) to the SD card of the zumo into the folder called Garmin. Now disconnect goto settings - Map & Vehicle - myMaps - deselect the europe maps and select your new map - that's it !!
I had no idea there was any alternative maps to what garmin give
@@ontheroadadventure I commented again on the next video with instructions
@@ontheroadadventure I don't know if it will solve all your problems Rich, but OSM's does have some advantages like showing up small tracks if you like exploring. You could check your position format in the settings too. I think it's WGS84 by default. Ralph
👍
Cheers bud
@@ontheroadadventure you both are great
I’ve noticed that the Garmin zumo xt has started doing strange things since the last update.
I’ve been thinking about getting one of the apple car play things.
Is the twin leaking much oil.
It’s strange, the garmin used to be very good. Coincidentally there’s a new version out now… Zumo xt 2…
We have lost the faith with this one sadly. Google maps works much better.
It’s not too bad right now, I’m hoping the leak will last the trip if I keep topping it up, if not it’s a big job
(20:38) now do you actually eat that cheese or do you smear it around the exterior of your tent to keep the animals and flies away?😂
That would definitely work!
You know fruit is crap when it's so bad it's still hanging off the tree because the birds won't eat it...
A excellent train of thought il always consider going forward when Ewa tried to feed me stuff 🤣
Just read an appropriate map and learn the French opening times
Poor planing leads to poor performance 🫡
Did u get your hooter working 😂
Yes! Seems to be ok now oddly!
Never pay a foreign speeding fine. Ever.
That’s ok until you go back to that country…
@@ontheroadadventure Absolutely. It was made clear to me that if I did not pay a *parking* fine in Spain then I would never be able to hire a rental car there again.
It’s just not worth the hassle
Been away sorry guys. Music festival. Ava's cheese. Smells like your arse lol. So hate smelly cheese. Also would say same thing about fruit on trees. Where is the water to wash it cos i say wont eat honey as bees spit it out!!!
lol now you put me off honey too!
