The Last Leg | England to Sicily Road Trip Part Three
We left our overnight accommodation in Rome and headed off south to the town of Cosenza. On the way down we took the Bonneville of the trailer and rode into Naples for pizza.
And then onto the final stretch; the ferry from Villa San Giovanni to Sicily.

Someone needs a van!
@19:46 haha, you should come to Malta, that’s nothing lol
That was an amazing ride into Napoli!
So jeaulous when I see these videos.
The interior is probably all Sicilian ceramics, make sure to visit some of the towns where they sell them. They are Burgio, Caltagirone, Patti, Santo Stefano di Camastra and Sciacca.
Driving in Italy is crazy indeed, the more south you go the less the lines on the road have meaning and listen for the horn music as you stop to let a pedestrian cross. It's simply not done there 🤣
Keep making these videos and living the life mate. Hope you have a glorious a stay as I did several years back.
Can't wait to buy my own Triumph and do some road trips myself.
Peak design phone holder to replace quad lock?

Cake for breakfast? I can't think of a better way to start the day.
Then again "I stop for cake" is my riding motto.
respect for driving in naples
Great channel, great journey! I've driven from the UK to Malta, thankfully taking the ferry from Genoa to Sicily. Are you planning on popping over to Malta, lovely architecture, a mix of Italian, British and Arabic influences. Perhaps not as chaotic as driving in Italy though road signs tend to be treated as mere suggestions and you will likely come across cars and motorbikes from the 1970s in immaculate condition. Driving with familiarity on the left, I think both you and Monica would enjoy it. Definitely worth a visit having come so far!
Freddie, your poor old bike is sounding less like a Bonnie and more like a pneumatic drill with each passing video. Incredible its still going.
Love how the channels going, Freddie and Monica you're doing great
Palermo… 🙈 it will be a TRYOUT…AaaaaAaaAa
So, when you add in the cost of dining, you've spent perhaps $120.00 US per person/per day on your trip so far. That seems very reasonable, especially considering the overall quality of the experience. Well done!
Glad you made it there safely. So pleased we were able to ‘travel’ with you both. Loved it!
I don't see why a Sicilian will want to steal a left hand drive with a carriage on the back. Must be a true collector.
love the show …. please get crap coffee in a polystyrene cup and a bacon sandwich with heinz or hp. over looking a rainy, british, …. bike meet up. look at each others bikes then head somewhere or home. you just rubbing in the life sometimes. pizza in Napoli? finest coffee, nice views (if you know) perspective I suppose. Lucky for some enjoy!!
i miss the shit coffee days when it was just a drink to help wake you up but tasted bad. not the " thing to do" bikes/naughty riding used to be at the centre. the posh ones always kill the cool. now its sit still and eat posh. buy the merch to buy into the scene easy..
Freddies ok, the scene not so healthy in some parts
Did you need one of the height extenders for the quad lock mount or did yours clear the bars as is?
Congratulations for surviving the traffic in Naples…
Try driving on the a amalfi coast.
In search of Cosa Nostra
Fine Italian loafers and contrast belt; life matters
we need XSR700 review freddie
As an italian fan of yours I suggest you to stop a couple days in Torino (Turin) while traveling back home. It’s a really nice and quiet city to visit, with lots of history and a nice cuisine. But most of all you can find an outstanding Automobile museum, that you’ll love. Have a nice holyday in our crazy country 🙂
Don’t envy you driving in all that Italian traffic. But wow, what a lovely, big apartment! Enjoy Sicily. 🙂
Constant horns yep, drivers ignoring zebra crossings yep, I can confirm you are in officially in italy as am i at the moment!.
Visited Messina a couple of times from our cruise ship, we found it tired and dirty, not the best example of a Sicilian town for the tourists.
Another excellent vlog from you both, most enjoyable.
How many nights did you stay in lake Como I just went to book the airB&B 😮and said minimum 2 nights great views any luck😊
We have been to palermo this summer and it was beautiful. There are a lot of hidden gems but two places you should definitely visit are I Segreti del Chiostro inside Palermo and Cefalù, a smaller town in the east. Have a wonderful stay!
ok 👌👍 super Freddie
Girls with no helmets… Guys wearing loafers… 😊
Hi there! do you guys have plans to visit Malta?
Freddie get that headlight bulb fixed on the 500
I could palpate your nervousness in Napoli, but thanks for showing it us. I have ridden a scooter along the amalfi coast 2 up that was hairy and many years ago. I have also ridden through Northern Italy and totally different and relaxing
So nice following you along on this trip😀 I was actually in Naples a few months back and would not have wanted to ride my motorbike there 😅. Amazing country, enjoy your time in Sicily!
Freddie you make these long journeys look easy . The reality it's a long slog but if you enjoy driving I'm sure it's great. Would be nice to spend 2 months doing such adventures Ade
Freddie I think Fiat should be your sponsor…If only that Fiat of yours could talk!!!!
