EPISODE 2 - IRAN
The captain gave me permission to bring my Honda 250cc motorcycle onto the passenger ferry to a remote island in the Persian Gulf!
With the help of the crew we managed to lift my bike onto the boat to explore the island on two wheels...
This is an adventure in itself!
Enjoy!

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!

Hi Ben,im iranian and im happy to see that you enjoyed in my country and i appraciate that you like iran.im from newcastle UK.To be honest iran is much safer than USA that most people in US carry gun.XOX
salam :) I'm really happy you had a great time in iran!
What a amazing video and adventure! Iran looks incredible! And what a people!! Alot of places around the world, including Norway could learn about hosptality like this..What a great people.. Maybe someday we ride there to! Amazing!
9:00 LOL .. calm down, take your meds ;) :D
Wow! Your energy is really contagious :-) ...
where in the UK would we invite a soggy guy, dressed as a power ranger off the street into our house, cook for him, give him the yard to wash his clothes and the general run of the house. People really are mazing, i think its a bike thing.
Westcountry Homes Online and yet western media owned by evils, zionists portray Iranians as terrorists. Iran is beautiful.
Is not "a bike thing", is the honest hospitality that westerners are lacking.
hey buddy , I'm living in capital Tehran and when ever we see tourists we inviting our house and we say no need hotel 🙂last time 1 American family came our house for 3 week , we (family) showed city and when other people watching tourists they inviting drink or free ride (taxi or pv car )
Thanks 🌹
The “when in doubt, keep on smiling and hope for the best” strategy works very well in the Middle East. It usually prevents and resolves any potential problems.
I freaking love your enthusiasm!
I invite you to visit North of Iran too 😊🌼❤
Iranians wow lovely people :)
beautiful Iran ❤❤❤❤
I've always wanted to be first to post a comment! W'hey! ....now that is a good value ferry crossing....
TheMissendenFlyer I’m 4th lol next time
Just found your Channel so happy I'm watching all of them you've got a great way about you boy
Dude I love how you get so excited it's AWESOME.
I hope you've had an opportunity to read Lois Pryce's book Revolutionary Ride! She offers such beautiful words about the Iranian hospitality! #RideHappy young one!
Another great episode
Special thanks to: Everyone except the family took him in, fed him and gave him shelter in scorching heat!
اگر فارسی زبان هستید به جای “except” که به معنای “بجز” است کلمه “especially “ به معنای “بخصوص” را باید بکار برد. ترجمه آنچه نوشته اید این است. “ سپاس از همه بجز خانواده ای که وی را مهمان کردند و غذا دادند و در گرمای سوزان پناه دادند.“
If you are not a Farsi speaker, the word “especially “ should have been used instead of “except” otherwise it’s completely different to what you would like to say. Your writing means “thanks to everyone but NOT this family.”
Love the new vids Mr King. They are a good bit of work, but make your trip more real for us following your adventure. Thanks a ton!
That was amazing. You are so brave adventuring out in that heat.
Maybe the westerners will learn from easterners what true hospitality is and put it into practice.
I need some of the tablets you're on.
Absolutely bloody brill, well done young man, that's what you call adventure
Hi Ben, congratulations for the great vids, what an awesome trip, I love your enthousiasm and your energy so much, keep it up, I'm eargerly waiting for the next vid.
Excellent choice of steed. Fair play man. Lovin it!
Three things have drawn me to your channel
ONE - Motorcycle adventure
TWO - I also have a CRF250L

Perfect bike for this adventure Ben - been flowing you on Adventure Rider Radio too.. loved the interview with Jim. Can you just your volumes in post? Would make much more enjoyable if all at same volume ? Many have said Iran great place to ride thru, and not as media would have us believe. Great cause, tell us how donate please, ride safe chow chow ;)
i subbed becouse you are my favorit turists so far 🤣👌🏼
I have no other words than; amazing!
Those shapes are actually remains of a sand carpet. The locals make it with colorful sands from the island on a certain day of the year.
exchange rate must be amazing lol - awesome trip Ben, safe travels!
awesome to see :)
You and I are almost the same but in absolute opposite directions! You are like Jim carrey's character from Me and Myself, so positive and free spirited and I'm like Grinch with a weird sense of humor!
Very nice
Cool Intro!!!
So nice.
Wow!!! I had the same dream last night!!!!
Best video ever Ben I’m mahd
Chacha out....enjoying chachai
SLOW DOWN, young man. Livin the dream. Keep up the good ride. And yeah, have you ever heard of a product called "Sun Screen"? If not, roll down your sleeves. Watchin you from Las Vegas!
You are so cool & hillarious 😂 how excited U R... probably I'm gonna be that excited if I visit Mexico... jajajaj
Nice video mate! What application do you use as GPS navi? I need some good software on my phone.
Love the video bro, also you're not from that climate so be sure to cover up your skin and avoid too much sun exposure.
I thought he was exaggerating about the sun burn but damn thats a big sun burn 😂. I don't own a bike or ride but I've been wanting one the model he has looks amazing and I've been doing research on them and i rally want one. Look amazing💯💯
Easyy boy easy...
Subbed nice one
ha brilliant. I can't wait to see you Pakistan videos :)
Hi. I see some back footage when you are riding. How do you do that? Do you use a tripod or drone?
Please make an video about your bike means specifications.
😍😍
Damn it! I've just entered to see how dit you got hard side cases attached to a CRF, as it has no proper chasis in the back for that. They are attached hanging from the top case mounting points aren't they? And then attached one to each other with another bar around the back. Very interesting solution I have to say, but I'm not sure it would resist a proper crash. Anyway, kudos for the original solution. I'll take good notes from it. ;)
Wich cámara you used,gopro and?
loved your energy man , I think you are near pakistan man . have fun and enjoy the road
dude he is far
Hi are u coming to Australia
Are you still in Pakistan? Missed your videos on Pakistan
getting tired with all those travellers who travel just for the social media and not for the joy of adventure...
Heat stroke 😜
You should have gone to kish island 😊
Which bike is it mate ?
This is what happens a night before exams 😂😂 @9:30
: Bro just a piece of advice, in Iran the "thumbs up" calls "bilaaakh" and it is actually the middle finger! Spotted att 3:27
Good video but please no music when you’re talking. 👍🥃🏴
The guy has the most English accent ever, but is traveling on the Irish passport, lol
Good stuff fella , love the crab stick arms (new trend)
Did you plan to come india Kolkata
Hope your are good no video from you for long time
👍
That's another great reason why the CRF makes a great adventure bike, don't think a GS would get on the ferry somehow!
Are you coming to pakistan or not?
I'm sure a few of the people watching are CRF owners too, how many miles are you up to and have you had any major issues?
20,000 on my 2017! Hello from Canada
what model of bike are you on?
Honda Crf250L
The name is larak
so is this how you send footage back with out looking sus.....lol smh you got some big balls
That was Hormoz Island…
he went in hottest month to this Island nobody goes there at hottest months though
تعجب کرده بردنش خونشون بهش غذا دادن 😊😊😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😁😁😁
Bro when you came to Pakistan...¿
The volunteer blood donor bike guy who recommended your channel said to me that you make a lot of mistakes. One is very very offensive. As the internet will tell you:
“The thumbs-up gesture is a sign of approval in most countries. However, in several countries in West Africa and the Middle East, including Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the gesture has the connotation of "up yours!" It's used the same way the middle finger is in the US.”
But the simple rules are:
If you don’t see locals doing something, best not to do it.
Watch what the locals do, and copy them.
If in doubt, ask.
Qeshm, is it? The name of the island? :-)
Para una mujer en moto es deficil Iran?
Cecilia, Mira esto. On her bike
Cecilla, viste : On her bike: en You Tube, esto responderá a tu pregunta. Por favor, perdona mi espanol, estoy aprendiendo.

Do you suffer from attention deficit disorder?
