I never talked about all this

Just want to wash her a little bit. I don’t know if I can do that here. Let’s see. Man, this is so futuristic like so.
– Yeah. Wow.
– It really is. – That’s amazing. That’s the motor. Man
– Yeah. – Wow. Do you have like a cloth? Like a..
– Uh.. Cool. Thank you, man. No. Really? You sure? 
Uh, thank you, man. Thanks. So, yeah, I know you’re not supposed to wash your her with the pressure washer. What am I supposed to do, right? I don’t have a garage. I don’t have a 
hose. So, I’ll be just very careful and use common sense. And there’s not really a lot of stuff exposed on this bike. Was different with Eve, you know, about the isolation fault error. I hope it’s not going to be a thing here. But yeah, let’s continue. Wild Atlantic Way. We’re going up north. Let’s do it. Yeah, no errors. That’s good. Cheers, man. And this dude let me do it for free. That was so cool. That would be nice if I also could have plugged in here, but uh this Circle K doesn’t have a charging station, so that sucks a bit. And there’s also no reception really. I can’t really find a charging station. I need I still have like 100 kilometer maybe. I’ll find something on the way for sure. Ah, there we go. This circle K has them. Can’t have it all. Can’t have a wash and charger. Okay, I’ll try. Don’t know how to activate them. I’ll figure it out. So, I just plotted out a route with Calimoto and I’ll just going to go up. It’s called Hornhead and there’s also a pass that I can check out. So, we’ll do that. You might be wondering where Candi is. Uh, she actually had to leave. She had to fly out to UK. Bye, Candi. So, I’m back on my own and I will explore a little bit more of the Wild Atlantic way. Let’s do it. Yeah, it stopped the process after like 20% for some reason. I had to start it again. I used a different app this time. I 
think all in all I paid €6 now. And this is a Jaguar electric car. It is owned by the guy who actually develops them. I had a chat with him, but it’s like 5year-old technology here. It 
takes about 2 hours to fully charge. I don’t know exactly how big the battery is, but looks pretty 
cool. I think Teslas have the best charging. Yeah I have to always turn it off after charging.  I really think that’s a bit annoying and I really hope they change that because you don’t want to turn it on and off again but they will, it’s just software. Same with the reverse gear. So yeah, I think Teslas have the best charging for cars the fastest. You can literally see them go up. Watch them. The percentage also Vee here. Not too bad for an electric bike. Put in 7 kilowatt hours. I reckon I must have like 12 or so in the tank now. So that will be good for 120 km or something or 150. Let’s see. Actually, Candi sent me a few points to check out when she was here last time. She said it was pretty amazing. Even though she had rain all the time. I have sun all day, every day. It’s insane. I can’t believe it. So, we’re doing pretty well here in Ireland. I love it. Let’s see what the day brings, guys. Wow. I must say guys, riding 
through these villages here, people have beautiful houses. Really? It’s crazy. I love this thing so much. As soon as 
you have a little bump in the road, it just pulls up and you go into the wildest wheelies Oh my god. And we’re still on the Atlantic Way. It’s pretty wild for me. And we’re going up to our first via point. I reckon it’s up that mountain there. Where do all these cars come from? Wow. Look. Beautiful houses everywhere. And the road’s partly nice. Partly kind of nice. I always wonder how is it that in some countries like the roads are always like hugely fully straight And then you have countries where they’re like bumpy as [ __ ] Like do they use different road methods or something like that? I don’t know. It’s not a bad view. This is a bit boring 
without Candi. Everything alone is a little bit boring I feel like, riding is fine. I like I like that. But going these places Much better when you’re with somebody. I guess that’s what I learned on my last three years traveling. It’s the best when you’re with somebody. Beautiful. But yeah, I always get a little bit weird after traveling with somebody and then being back on my own. I think that’s just normal, right? No, I was super sad when Fernanda left. It’s just, you know, it’s just how it is. You know, you have to get used to being back on your own again oi yoi yoi might put it in beast mode now because the regen 
is really strong with it. So that’s really good when you go downhill because you don’t need to use the brakes so much. Wow, what a view, eh? But yeah, anyway, I haven’t published the videos yet from when uh I left Thailand to Malaysia. I’m going to do that. It’s a bit weird now because I’m now basically in the present. those would be in the past. So, I have no idea how to publish them since you guys are getting upset when I publish old videos. So, I thought maybe I’ll just release them for my patreons or members of the channel uh so they at least know what happened after and especially what happened with Eve. So, let me know what the best thing to do would be. Should I just post them at some point on YouTube or would it be a good idea to just do that for the Patreons and for the members as a whole? Thank you. I think that would be nice actually. Next via point is about 60 kilometers. There’s a charger on the way that I would use I think. Oh, yeah. Wow. Oh, yeah. I have to be careful not to get too fast to be honest because it’s going downhill and with no noise you’re like at the 100 120, you don’t even know it. Okay, now I put it back in my custom mode. My custom mode is basically the same thing as the beast mode just that I put the regen on medium because it’s just a little bit smoother. I like that better. Okay, guys. So, you know a little bit about my modes. You know a little bit about my mood. Now, that’s also important. Uh yeah, I think this day is going to be a little bit more chill and woo! Wow. Like more than most cars.
– Yeah, it’s it’s insane. Wow. Oh, thank you for asking. Yeah, that this is the motor here. And then this this turns. This is the there are the magnets in here. There’s magnets
– Like a normal electric motor but inverted but no no brushless I guess. Whatever.
– Yeah. Just trying to get this to work 
here. Said he has 1,000 newton meters of torque. Oh my god.
– More than most cars. It’s really interesting. 
– What is it? What is it?- It’s an electric. The company is called Verge Motorcycles. Verge. Wow.
– Verge. V E R G E.
– So that’s from Finland. That’s like a motor.
– That is the motor. But it’s exposed it’s wow. Amazing.
– Thank you very much. Yeah. You’re welcome.
– Can I take a picture of this Yeah. Go ahead. Where have you come from?
– Well, I drove it from Switzerland And I’m doing like a tour yeah
– That’s amazing. Oh, you can charge from here. Yeah, I can use the fast charging. Oh, wow. Drive safe.
– Thank you. Authorized. What the.. How much?
– Yeah. – Like money? Yeah.
– 35,000 euros Really? I expect a lot more. More? Okay yeah. Cheers, mate. Thank you.
– How are you? – Hi. How are you doing? Yeah, you’re busy.
– Yeah. – Everybody’s obsessed with 
your bike. Yeah. Happens everywhere. Explain to him what happens with the back. Well, that’s the motor of it.
– You must get this everywhere you go, do you? Yeah yeah everywhere.
– You’re used to it now. Just trying to get it
– trying to the get the transformer. Hello. Hello. Hello. Yeah, I just uh I’m sorry. I just need to get it to work. Sometimes these charging stations, they’re like So you have no noise
– huh? You have no noise.
– I have what? No no yeah yeah.
– No noise. No, no, no, no. Where have you come from? Istanbul Huh?
– Where have you come from? No. like I drove it from Switzerland.
– Switzerland This charger is just [ __ ] now. Yeah I’m not surprised. You’re in Dunlo What brings you to Dunlo? This charging station I just try to get it to to work. He said 250 km.
– Yeah. – Yeah, that’s cool. Yeah.
– How long are you staying in 
Dunlo for? No, not long. I just just want to
– Get charged. – Just 15 minutes usually when it works. Take care.
– Thanks, man. Honestly, these ESB charging stations, they’re the most 
unreliable really so far. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Then they don’t work 
with that app, then you have to use another app. And this time it didn’t work with any 
app. Yeah, that is a little bit frustrating. I don’t I don’t understand it really. I mean, what can be so difficult? And to be honest, this is also the reason why everybody hates 
electric vehicles because of this [ __ ] Not because of the cars or the motorbikes, because of these shitty charging stations and the situation in general. You just can’t do this. Imagine going to a gas station and you don’t know if you can get gas or not. This just sucks. You know, who wants that? Nobody. So, you kind of have to make sure these things work. It can’t 
be so hard. And yeah, no cashless, of course, sucks the most. But there’s another one here, just at the car park. Uh, this is just a bit frustrating really. It was a cool spot actually. Let’s just hope this one works. Can already see it. Will probably also be ESB. No E power. Okay. Well, let’s see how they work. I have the app. It should be no problem. So, I don’t think I ever really talked about it, but I’ve been touring long before I started touring on the motorcycle. I’ve basically been a musician all my life. Uh, I’ve been touring with rock bands, pop bands, like all sorts, basically out of school and on the road. So, that has always kind of been my life. I always say it’s like the circus life. Um, but the difference was I was never really alone. Like I was always, you know, with my band, with the crew, with, you know, like you you meeting fans every night and, you know, having a good time, sleeping in tour buses, you know, and just it is just so much different than to what I do now being alone every day. So that’s why I guess like every time I have the chance to travel with somebody, I’ll take it and it’s just nice to share 
everything what happens during the day with somebody else. It’s just cool. So yeah, don’t get me wrong, I like this whole solo traveling on the motorbike. It’s really cool. I’m used to it now after 3 years. I actually started the world journey with my ex-girlfriend. I think most of you know that. But yeah, sometimes it’s tough. It gets lonely very quick. I think that’s why I like working so much, like filming, writing, and then editing the whole night and then do the same thing the next day again. So yeah, um that keeps me just busy and gives me some sort of purpose and it’s good for you guys so you can come along. This is just a little backstory. Now you know me a little bit better. Some of you knew already. I’m just finishing up 
here and then I’ll be back on the road. 97% 6 kilowatt hours. Turn it off. It’s so heavy. Crazy. So yeah, that was 24 minutes. With my old bike, it would have taken me an hour for the same charging. So yeah, that’s quite cool. Yeah, this one worked. E- power. They’re more reliable than the other ones. Okay, it’s going to be my last ride on the Wild Atlantic Way, I think, before I go to Northern Island And then I want to go to the Isle of man. I can’t wait. This is so creepy here this graveyard right in the center of the town. Okay okay. I feel like being on a different planet again. So cool. You go from these towns to absolutely nothing. That’s so awesome. I just saw the most awesome abandoned church. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of these old buildings here. It’s so cool. People walk right up this mountain. Okay. Well, I’m not going to do that for sure. We are biking. Wow. I think my last stop for today will be Hornhead. It’s called Little bit of a bumpy road. Yeah, we can drive up until the end. 
Yeah, it’s going to be my last stop on the Wild Atlantic Way. I think 
it’s a good way to finish this off. These things are dangerous when 
it’s wet. You’re all right. Yeah, you’re all right. Wow. I’m glad I came here to Ireland again. I feel like I saw it again in a way different way than last time. Also, I had to cut it short because of, you know, the issues with my battery of the old bike. Had to go to Dublin. And now I can experience it again and soak in all these views. I found a cool Airbnb in Letterkenny, I think it’s called. I already booked it. Host sounds lovely. Hopefully, I can plug in. That would be amazing. What a day again. Ireland pretty wild. Okay, so just in case you wanted to 
know how I put my luggage on there. So I just put these straps here and inside uh Just have to open it with this button. Yeah. So, yeah, I have a switch here. So, just put them straps here And those just mounted there. Yeah, 
this one. It’s just for safety. I can put them I can put that also in here. Like so. This is how I mount my little bag. Easy. Yeah. Can you just park or Do you have your..
– I have I have a lead and everything. Oh yeah. Perfect. Thank you so much. It’s a pretty lovely Airbnb again. I’m really happy. The host super friendly and I can even park Vee in the shed and plug her in overnight. This which is like super amazing. So, I’m happy. I might go to the pub now, have something to eat. I’ll see you guys in the next video. Don’t forget to subscribe And I’ll be on my way to the Isle 
of man racing around the island a little bit on Vee. That’s going to be fun for sure. No speed limit. Before I forget again, I just wanted to end ride now. Wanted to show you guys the route. Well, that was today’s route. So, what we did today, but also I can just show you everything 
basically. Yeah. Brilliant. Submit. Okay. So.. Ah why didn’t it save this bit? That’s odd. Ah what did I do? Yeah, but we basically also drove here and then candi left here and there. Oh, that’s a bummer. What did I do? Completed ride. No, missing one ride [ __ ] I must have forgotten to save it. Passed my charger.

I never really talked about this part of my life. Not in a full way. Maybe because I didn’t think it mattered anymore. But today, somewhere in the north of Ireland, pressure-washing my bike behind a Circle K, talking to strangers about electric motors and torque and apps that don’t work, it just kind of came back. That old life.
Long before motorcycles, before cameras and edits and thumbnails, I was touring. As a musician. Living out of tour buses, playing in bands, sleeping in backstage rooms and meeting people every single night. That was my life. Always on the move, but never really alone. And now, here I am, three years into riding around the world, and every now and then it hits different. When someone leaves — like Candy did just now — it shifts again. Solo travel sounds romantic until you’re standing on a mountain, looking out, and there’s no one next to you to go “wow” with. That’s when I feel it the most.
Still, I wouldn’t trade this. I love this electric beast of a bike. I love that it makes people stop and ask questions. I love that I can ride 150km in silence and only hear my thoughts. Some of them loud. Some quiet. I love discovering places like Horn Head where the wind basically becomes your soundtrack. And I love that you’re here too — watching, listening, riding along. Maybe that’s the reason I keep doing this.
Anyway, it’s my last stretch on the Wild Atlantic Way. Soon I’ll be heading for Northern Ireland and then over to the Isle of Man, which I’ve dreamed of for years. For now, I found the perfect little Airbnb in Letterkenny. V is plugged in. I might head to the pub for a pint and sit quietly for a bit.

Ps. What should I do about the Asia videos?

Thanks for being here. Really.
See you in the next one.
