Honda Goldwing on Tour! - Episode 2

2 жыл бұрынTMF Tours are back and now in glorious 4K! After a waaaay too long break from motorcycle touring thanks to the C word I'm thrilled that a couple of weeks ago me and mrs Flyer loaded up our trusty Goldwing for a short tour in Europe with a couple of biking buddies. Part 2 of 7.

Nice vid Andy, isn’t it strange, and like you say, when you travel through the European villages the lack of humans is very noticeable, like ghost towns, also we’ve just done a tour of the WW1 war graves and museums through Belgium and France, it’s very moving and to think what they, in most cases kids, went through and to think certain world leaders haven’t learnt anything……so sad 😞

My wife just reminded me last night, today is my anniversary. A year ago today. It hadn’t even occurred to me. She wasn’t to pleased with me, when I went skiing with an old buddy at the end of last season. Or when I pulled my bike out the Garage at the beginning of this one. My buddy has his own problems, his wife was pretty angry at both of us. Lots of comments about what would happen if we fell. It was a really good day, cloudy cold and windy. It was great just to be able to get out there. Same with the bike. I was good just to really feel alive. I just got myself another, even bigger bike, and I plan to just get out and live a little. I don’t think she approves of my new bike, but at least she sat on this one. And she didn’t loose the plot when I told her about the trip I’m planning. Dr’s still have me grounded. Which is a bit annoying. The sooner you get back on the horse, the happier you will be. Keep trying to do more you will find it gets a little easier as time goes by.

Well I’m watching this from my garden in sunny Western Australia, a nice Winters Day. Very relaxing watching your tour, a great vid, not sure if you can, but have a set up where Carol has a camera on her helmet to view things while you concentrate on the twisties. I’ve some catching up to do on your videos and it’s the first time I’ve noticed you wearing Rukka gear, I’ve got the Rukka Stretchair, awesome gear. I’ve just got back from a week in Benalmadena Costa Del Sol visiting my father, managed to hire a bike for a day and went riding in the mountains towards Rhonda with my brother. First time I’ve ridden in Europe in the mountains, it was amazing, with watching your tours and my experience I’m looking forward to doing it again but for longer.

Loving the wee tour bud, keep em coming! I wish we had even 1 road like that here, but alas, we have joined up potholes for road surface, in pretty much every direction! It's so bad here just now that I wrecked the back wheel on my new Zed. I hit an unavoidable 12" deep one coming round a bend onto a slip road joining the highway. I had my wife on the back, who was less than impressed with me. Happened just a couple of weeks after I brought the new bike home, I swear I had a genuwine tear in my eye when I seen the state of the wheel, going to cost me the bones of $1800 to fix. Luckily though I was able to pull the front wheel up just in time or things would have turned out very differently for both of us...

We flew our V Strom to Baku for the F1 and are riding it back to UK now. Currently in northern Turkiye and agree with you about the feeling of riding on tour again.

We were in Givet 3 weeks ago. The citadel was shut, which was disappointing and no info as to why. Anyway, the ride south along the Meuse was wonderful. We also stayed in Bouillon for 2 nights. A great town with cracking bars restaurants and views.

too bad I didn't know you came to our Belgian Ardennes, I could have given you some nice routes. One of the routes that you should definitely do is between Barriere de Champlon and Nassogne. We also call it our race track. You drove a long way along the Meuse and the Semois. The region of Alle, Vresse, Bouillon etc is a true motorcycle paradise. Just a pity that the condition of the Belgian asphalt sometimes leaves much to be desired. That is why it is much more fun in Luxembourg and also the German Eifel. Looking forward to the continuation of your rides in my backyard :-D I love the English roads in Wales, Lake District, Yorkshire Dales etc. The Cotswolds are on my to do list.

Just back from our first French trip for 3 years (sadly by ‘plane and hire car due to lack of time as we were in the Deep South west), and so good to be back. Empty roads and great food and wine. The tree lined roads are reputed to be the work of Napoleon, so troops could March in the shade.
