I ride to one the smallest countries in Europe: Luxembourg. With a population of 660,000 and one of the lowest crime rates, and highest GDPs per capita, land-locked Luxembourg is squeezed in-between Germany and France.
On my way, I pass by an old petrol station with a selection of old, dusty Volvos, and experience the quietness of Luxembourg.

Very welcome in our little corner of the world Freddie! And yes : Most Belgians can switch very fast into minimum 4 languages... We are raised like this from childhood or school , but also in the media . All movies we watch are in the original language with subtitels in Dutch or French. So we learn it very fast to speak a lot of different languages. For example : i'm a flemmisch citizen and Dutch is my native language, Frech my second , German, Englisch, Spannish, Polisch, Russian and a bit of Italian .... It makes our hollidays a lot easier!

Moien Freddie! As a Luxembourg resident, this country is perfect for petrolheads. Amazing roads and good variety of routes (look up Grand Tour du Luxembourg for 7 amazing routes around the country) and the close proximity to tracks Spa, Nurburgring and Hockenheim can certainly keep you entertained during the weekends. Fun fact: a lot of people who grew up in Luxembourg can speak at least 4 languages (Luxembourgish, French, German and English).

Hello. What a nice surprise to see this road trip starting in my city of Malmedy. And thank you for the great pictures. For the record, the garage with the old Volvos was the old Volvo dealership in the region. The owner did not want to follow the standards imposed on Volvo dealerships and ended his contract. He had several new cars in stock at that time. And he always kept them... I wanted, 20 years later, to buy one but it was not possible. So they are still there, new and have been for more than 25 years.

So what's young Dobbs up to today? I think us Brits tend to neglect Belgium, yet from everything I see it strikes me as the perfect place to go for a motorcycle trip. For a start, it's close, no long slog on the autoroute to the Mediterranean just a short hop on the ferry, or the tunnel if you must and you're there. The roads all look beautiful, the scenery stunning, I have a Belgian friend who's Instagram is full of winding roads through forests, opening up to stunning views across meandering rivers, craggy out crops and beautiful little towns, all with great places to stop and eat. And whilst as you point out there are three official languages here, from what my friend says, almost everyone also speaks at least a smattering of English, so for us monolingual Brits, we can get by. I'm very tempted to pack a bag and hop on a boat right now.

Hi Freddie, I am from eastern Belgium, currently on holiday in sunny Malindi, Kenya, and smile at your candid review of Belgian historical, cultural and social particularities. I speak the three languages, wishing more of my compatriots would too. I wonder by which ways you’ll return to England. Take your time, though I presume you’ve got a schedule, and your insatiable curiosity will be fed. As I write this, the shots show you’ve entered quaint Luxembourg and its perfect roads.

Your observations about Europe are spot on. I lived in Netherlands for many years, it never ceased to amaze me the idea of all those countries and different languages so close. Living in Zuid Holland, I went to Vianden, Luxembourg for the day on my Honda Deauville. Lovely town. Perhaps the Dutch bikers were doing the same. Try visiting Baarle-Hertog, not sure if it’s Belgian or Dutch. Walk up the main road and you enter and leave both countries several times.

Hi Freddie. Saw you wiping your visor with your gloves, here’s little wrinkle that I found helped lots with mucky visors when I used to commute into London every day. . I got a chammy leather, punched a hole in the corner, tied it to a piece of tape. Tied the other end of the tape to a bulldog clip. I would then wet the chammy before setting off clip the bulldog clip to my belt (so I didn’t lose the leather but if it got tangled up it would just pull off) I’d shove the leather between my legs and every time my visor got mucky a quick wipe and it was clean again. Worked brilliantly unless the leather froze - which it did every now and then on the coldest days.

Used to do day trips to Luxemburg from Central Germany and back, back in the days. The "official" idea was to ride through the Hubsrück Mountains for about 250 miles. A benefit was getting cheap cigarettes and booze there, which for some seemed to be the entire motivation. These were the times where you had to go through Border Control in Wasserbillig of course.

Awesome as always. Fred, can you please say some more about the stick you're using for your 360 camera? It looks impressive but I can't find it or nor sure which one it is here in Poland.

Anyone knows what's the name of the raincoat/overcoat? From the tartan liner it looked like a Barbour but can't find it. Looks great for rainy rides.

Don't forget, ref to the petrol heads, you are only a couple of hours away from Nurburgring .... If you get a chance try Trier, which has the Porto Negre, one wonderful building in an awesome city.

Regarding the Volvo cars you should’ve asked the old man what his plans were? Plan for an excellent business proposition!!😊

Language is not just about communication and being able to speak multiple languages does not magically solve all the language issues. As a quadrilingual Dutchman I almost got into fight with a Belgian tourist info civil servant because I thought I was in Wallonia and opened the conversation to ask for directions in French, which would be the most practical anyway because the Flemish tend to speak French quite well while the Walloons tend not to speak Dutch/Flemish. He claimed I should be proud at speaking Dutch while that had come naturally to me and fluency in French is a bit of an achievement of the higher educated in the Netherlands. He was obviously taking a stance in the language struggle while I had never felt our language to be surpressed. I knew about the language struggle I just hadn't expected it to be that real to people outside specific politcal contexts. That's over 20 years ago and the language struggle has mellowed down since, but there is a lot more to it than just speaking the others langauge and everything is fine.

Luxembourg? Didn't notice any graffiti, litter bins overflowing, phone shops, charity shops, no row upon row of empty shops, big issue sellers or food banks.

The most heavily subsidised country in the EU , half it's income per head is a gift paid for by France and Germany. This tiny insignificant 'country' had the cheek to sneer at the UK for leaving the EU. Probably worried about it's income.😀 You're welcome to it.

​@columbmurray Luxembourg has the highest gdp per capita in the world! I don't know where you are getting your information from. How's Brexit working out for you. 'Taking back our borders' '£350 million per week extra for the NHS.' 'They need us more than we need them!' 🤣😂🤣🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺
