Motorcycle Trip Nearly Ends in DISASTER! Hurricane Storm Strikes on the Mountain (S3-E16)
HERE IS WHAT THE NEWS SAID:
Storm Kirk had a particular impact on northern Spain. On October 9th 2024 winds of up to 205 km/h were recorded in Picos de Europa in Cantabria. A storm swell in the Mediterranean off the port city of Sète in France overturned three boats, killing one amateur sailor. With high winds and heavy rains, Storm Kirk has uprooted trees and cut power to hundreds of thousands of households in its path.
Hurricane Kirk was downgraded to a Storm as it hit Spain & Portugal. However on the day there was no serious weather warnings. It did predict rain & gentle winds over the Pyrenees that day. With a slight chance of lightning.
Join us for an intense episode of our epic 3,600-mile motorcycle journey through Spain on our Harley-Davidson Road King Special. Riding two-up, we cross the Pyrenees as a storm from the tail of Hurricane Kirk unleashes chaos across Spain, Portugal, and France. This storm brought record-breaking 200 km/h winds, making this one of the most dangerous and unforgettable rides of our adventure.
As we navigate winding mountain roads, we pass through remote villages where fallen trees block the way, and emergency crews fight to clear paths. Desperate to find shelter, we search for a hotel but find nothing open. Forced to continue, we ascend into the storm’s fury. On the highest stretches of the mountains, violent winds nearly push us off sheer cliffs, with rocks and debris raining down around us.
With Lisa in tears and danger all around, we decide to wild camp in the doorway of a closed restaurant. Stranded without food, we rely on grit and determination to survive the night, hoping the storm will ease by morning.
This episode is packed with heart-stopping moments, breathtaking mountain scenery, and the raw realities of long-distance motorcycle travel. Watch, share, and ride along as we face nature’s fury head-on.
