Travelling the world is an exciting prospect, but it especially so if you do it by motorcycle.
If you're heading to Europe in the future, consider taking a motorcycle trip across the
continent. Although it may be tricky crossing a straight of water, getting from Germany
to Scotland by motorcycle would be the adventure of a lifetime.
Make sure your motorbike contains sufficient fuel, as the journey will include motorway
riding.. It is extremely dangerous to lose power when
riding a motorbike in fast-moving traffic. Put on your motorbike boots, gloves and leathers..
If you don't have leathers, the least you can do is get a jacket made of tough leather
(NOT ordinary fashion leather as tarmac will shred through it if you fall off in a crash)
or Kevlar, and wear a pair of jeans with it. Make sure you have your motorbike key..
If you don't have it, you're up the creek without a paddle.
Put all your provisions into the top case (that's the case on the top of the rear of
the motorbike, hence the name)..
Put on your helmet.. If you have a full face helmet, pull the visor
down. If you have an open face helmet, put on some sunglasses or motorbike goggles. Most
importantly, buckle the chinstrap as is legally required in Britain.
Flick the switch to the "on" position..
To start the engine, turn your motorbike key in the ignition and press the start button..
Do a few revs of the engine, then leave..
Travel towards France, Belgium or the Netherlands - whichever has a land border nearest to where
you live..
Thank you for watching!
