We hired a Honda CB500X and a BMW F800R to explore the amazing roads and scenery of Madeira, Portugal. Great flight and transfers by Jet 2 staying at the Four Views Oasis Hotel.
Our first day takes us to Cabo Girao; a 580 metre tall glass platform view point, Calheta beach and Ponta Du Sol where we find the amazing waterfall that lands mid road.
We believe Madeira is a top northern European winter riding destination with our trip being at the end of February 2022.

Enjoyed the video, well planned out and a pleasure to watch. I cant wait until Jo and I go on holidays like this! Looking forward to the next part.
Not one ☝️ bit jealous much 😂👌was worried for you when I saw the rain , so glad it turned out beautiful 🤩 and what a beautiful place it is looking forward to the next episode 🙏
brill great editing, love the waterfall over the road, might go and have a shower, lol
Great to see blue sky's and dry roads, really good video and looking forward to the next one 👍
I found you guys through your touring vids. It’s great to see you back at it. What a beautiful place 😍 Hard to imagine how much work went into the tunnels.
Looks like Rossi went there to retire 🤣
Great first part. I enjoyed. There was between 15 and 20 degrees? Am I right? Some stunning views and a really nice waterfall. Those two bikers, I mean locals, were way too fast. Otherwise… waiting for the next one. Keep up buddy. 🙂
Every time you guys go out on the ledges and overlooks I get a little shakey. Beautiful scenery and challenging roads on strange bikes. Thanks for sharing 👍
What a fantastic place really great scenery guys I am soo jealous right now and I thought you hade made a mistake and took the weather from here over with yus , great viewing : )
Brilliant stuff guys 🙂 That road upuntil the landslide looked incredible to ride! The little cafe and viewpoint with bridge was lovely… but a big fat NOPE from me about jumping off of it to the water below, although the water looked lovely, so clear! 🙂
Definitely hiring a bike on my next trip, the Honda looks perfect for the job despite the hills…
Fantastic guys. Loved watching it, brilliant roads, views and so green. Good work on editing Richard and we’ll done on being the guide Carol.
Can’t wait for the next one😉. Take care and stay safe.
Great idea for a holiday! Glad you touched on your thoughts on the CB500X. Amazing scenery and place!
Looks very good, enjoyed the video, Not jealous at all in sunny but breezy Leicester LOL. Have fun ride safe.
Nice to see that you got away to such a lovely place and were able to enjoy getting around on the bikes with such good weather.
Inspirational… Thank you for the great video, folks!
Wow what a stunning place. And the roads look great too. Enjoyed that one mate. Fasty-Rides
thats amazing very beautiful
Morning Richard and Carol! Sally and I enjoyed that one! Kind of got us thinking. So nice to see a fly ride holiday that all the others haven't done! I have noticed that you like the same things as me, "glass balcony and walking through a tunnel that's closed! Yep I'd be that man! 😆 take care! 🏍💨💨

Loved that guys. Looks like a perfect place to ride a motorcycle. Beautiful views, perfect weather ( eventually) and Carole, a lady that not only rides a motorcycle, but can follow a sat nav!! Carlsberg don't make women, but if they did………..😁😁
