Thanks Mr Flyer for taking us your journey in Europe on your Honda Goldwing. I had to laugh when you going down to Belgium instead of up. I travelled to Belgium but I went Calais, Dunkirk then Bruges, Ghent and Brussels. The Germany then into Holland. However I don’t have luxury of your Honda Goldwing. I did it old fashion way I hitchhiking. Can’t wait to see more of your amazing journey

Belgium by any criteria you would like to throw at it, has the best beer in the world; some of the most marvellous bread; very affordable restaurants; totally unintimidating bars, with delightful staff - utterly unlike any French city - and you can sit, or stand, where you choose without being charged extra for the privilege/mistake/honour. In summary, it is a very relaxed and totally worthwhile country, full of history, especially recent, to visit. and enjoy.

I lived in a little town in Belgium called Doitche for a year just 40 odd miles south of Namur. We found the people of Belgium some of the nicest and most generous in Europe. We were the only Americans living in this small town and we were made felt right at home. We traveled almost 40,000 miles during the year but unfortunately in my car traveling all over Europe every free moment.

On of the best things and most famous in Belgium : Spa Francorchamps. Amazing track 👍 With regards Helite - many find them too hot especially when working hard on track. They do have great coverage but no use at all if not worn. Check out the Ixon or Furygan vests that you can wear under your normal gear. Since they don't need to be covered in slide proof material they are a lot lighter and more breathable 👍

By definition I don’t think an airbag can be breathable!

Enjoyed this and reminded me of when I toured France on my Fireblade except you have a much better Honda for the job. Would be nice to have some film of the night out as well as just on bike stuff though. Look forward to part 2.

There is an amazing gorge in the middle of Luxembourg city centre that is well worth taking a look at. I visited most of the western European countries in the early 90's. If I remember rightly, I slept in the upstairs of a goat barn just on the outskirts of the city. In case you're wondering, I was hitch hiking around Europe at the time......

A great tour on a great bike. We stayed in Namur a few tours back…. Lovely place shame you weren’t able to visit the citadel. Done Luxembourg again great roads and Luxembourg City is a good place to visit. We stayed in Vianden like Matlock bath on steroids …. Great castle great cable car ride to it and walk back great hotel. Looking forward to part 2 ….. fwiw we are off to Colditz in a few weeks

I’m late to the party as always Andy. Great series and agree that Luxembourg is fabulous. Was there end of June and it was great especially as we landed there for Luxembourg day which was crazy. Oh, and we stopped in the same hotel as you guys!

Hi Mrs & Mr Flyer. Great video as always. I just love crossing the channel & turning LEFT. More should do it, as the Benylux countries are so great & friendly 🤗 PS - Mrs Flyer needs to give you a slap!! Regarding you comments at 17:26.... "... feeling a bit concerned about getting down here, the bike is heavily laden; and of course we've got Mrs Flyer on the back - 'and she's a ponderous old beast at slow speeds'...." 😱😱 Your wife looks stunning & slender, not a 'ponderous old beast' at all 🤗 😂🤣 PPS - It was great to see you at this years ABR Festival 😎 #TravellingWizzard

@@TheMissendenFlyer I have to also add. That thumbnail title photograph you have put up for this vid is quite simply spectacular on so many levels. Honda should be smashing your door down to use it in their next marketing campaign . Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

Wow I almost bought a Goldwing recently actually as a bit of a joke to do a 5000km trip down the east coast of Australia , I hauled and bought a Ducati diavel and regretted it. Now I’m on the lookout for a wing, your clip confirms it
