Stumbled across your channel from a comment in an HD forum. I'll be watching more after this. Done a few trips to Waterton when I've worked nearby in Lethbridge, just a beautiful place to be. Had to pause it at 1:44 and take in the view, always warms my heart.
If you can't be there, these films do a b. good job of giving you the feeling of being there😀 What roads...........what views..........takes my breath away, Thank you!
Gosh, if that was the alternative route, what the highway to the sun route must be like is beyond me. Words are beginning to fail the views on this tour. Note to Mrs. Flyer, we've all done the sun dance trying to get waterproofs on.
Nice one again TMF , and who needs a crawler reverse when Mrs flyer is about 😁 , some nice scenery yet again hopefully you can get some drone footage before the end of the trip.👍
Very fun day today! I just love that area in the U.S. and Canada Waterton/Glacier National Park! The Going to the Sun road is fantastic but there are many delays on it with the unpredictable weather so your route was very cool and amazing also! Scenery was beautiful! You two are so cool! Thank you!😃😎👍
Thanks for another scenic episode. The Mrs and I are thinking about the northern (US) parks and on to see friends in Hornby Island near Vancouver for this year's trip. So this is a nice preview of the territory. Thanks again.
Very lovely lakes and Mountain side on this trip in Canada. I just cannot get another of this beautiful scenery. The road that cliff drops off, reminds of a road in Lancashire that really bad drop off area and many cars end up at bottom of the cliff it wasn’t a steep drop, but it was bad. However, it looks like an amazing road with plenty nice views. Well, it has to rain somewhere. Mr flyer.
I've watched every one of these and enjoying them more now your in the mountains 👍Mrs Flyer trying to get her waterproofs on reminded me of my other half putting hers on or even just her normal biking gear for that matter 😁
Thank you Mr & Mrs Flyer for this tour series, I've really enjoyed it - I've been looking forward to you reaching the Montana, Oregon area - together with some cop mates we cycled USA Coast to Coast for charity, starting in Coos Bay, Oregon and finishing in York Town, Virginia, via the Trans America Trail, if I ever go back it needs to be on a motorcycle - hope to see you at Krazy Horse some time..
This was a very enjoyable video. You had me cracking up with your comments around the 15:20 mark where you referenced just falling off the cliff like those buffalos ...home of the brave, etc. 😄
I was amazed that the US border guard did not loose it on you when you drove passed the STOP sign to join your riding mate. I have seen border guards go ballistic and peeps getting send into secondary for an extended period of time. ONE car or bike at the time and wait until the car/bike is cleared to enter - no matter how long it takes. Crossing between Canada and the US is nothing like the EU and I treat the process either way with the utmost respect and caution - crossing regularly myself from Manitoba into North Dakota and back.
Welcome to Montana! I've lived in Montana for 6 years and just road thru Glacier National Park for the first time this year on September 3rd, the "going to the sun road" is epic! Loving this tour series!
Sad you missed the Going to the Sun road! It's a top 10 motorcycling road in the US and I hope to ride it next year. Ship happens though eh. Great episode! I'm grateful I learned about the new reservation system for the G2S Road this morning rather than next year lol.
Great video! I am sorry that you didn’t get to ride the Going to the Sun road. Our National Parks here have gotten very busy with many Parks requiring a reservation. Always a reason to come back! Best!
Oh my heck! So Very Sorry you missed Our Going to The Sun Road! It truly is unbelievable and words cannot do it justice. Been a huge fan of your channel for years!! Can’t believe you stayed at my hometown of BIGFORK. Hoping you all enjoyed it. Looking forward very much to seeing the next video with you all here. Cheers from here!
Very True! My wife and I and Our Multi 950 ( I purchased after your review 4.5 years ago ) have been all about the Northwest. Wish I could have met up and told you about some backroad adventures. Hopefully next time. Sure hoping it wasn’t raining on everyone this time out. Looking forward to next installment.!
I’ve really enjoyed this series of videos… trying to capture the sheer scale of the views is not easy but you get very good insight nonetheless! Not a great advert for GoPro though in my opinion… you did well to overcome the ‘tribulations’ and still get great content 👍👍. Feeling suitably inspired I checked out the trip for 2023 on the Motorrad website and then saw how much it cost??!!! Stone me!!! With flights, food and fuel I reckon I’d easily be over £10k… I fear I shall have to make do with your wonderful videos for the foreseeable future !! Many thanks for sharing 🤗🤗👍👍👍
Crikey!! I spent 6 touring around SE Asia on a motorbike and spent quite a bit less than that, including motorbike hire (250cc) food, flights and accommodations 🤘
@@TheMissendenFlyer … strewth!!! However, it’s a very well arranged and run trip no doubt and the memories that you’ll both have will be incredible… once again, really appreciate you taking the time to reply and for sharing the experience! 🤗❤️
@@adamnunn9723 Yes by far the best organised and well run Bike Trip I've ever been on - cannot recommend Motorrad Tours highly enough (but yes, you pay for it!)....
Liking Mrs TMF's Rain Dance! My wife gave up that roadside ritual after she sprayed her kevlar jeans with fabric waterproofer = OK, its not Rukka standard, but certainly good enough for showers.
I’ve never been a big fan of the “road to the sun” once you have been up it you soon tire of the crowds 🤷♂️🤷♂️ especially when you’re 2 up on a motorcycle. Much prefer the north western mountain ranges of Idaho and then return north up thru Montana to Kalispell. Awesome trip Andy !!! Watching from India kind of makes one homesick 😢😢
Morning bud, those views are just something else...I really need to plan a trip up that way next year. The carefree feeling that landscape imparts would be worth every penny in fuel 👍
Too bad you couldn't do the Road to the Sun. I've done it a number of years ago and it's a great ride. Wish you would show more of the towns you stop over in and the crew you're riding with.
Good morning Andy, Waterton National Park looks like a lovely place add to my must do list. Pity about he road to the sun. I was really looking forward to seeing it. I missed The Road to the Sun back in May this year. It was a spur of the moment detour on our way to Yellowstone. I got into the park ok and have a pass for the year. Unfortunately the west end of the road was at Macdonald Lake. The Lodge and The rest of the road still closed due to snow. Planned to go back this summer with the bike but plans went awry. Beautiful, scenery anyway. We headed down to Yellowstone which was mostly closed due to snow as well. But was still spectacular. With a lot of wildlife. Shortly after we passed by there was major floods. which washed out a lot of roads. Well I suppose it gives you a good reason to come back some day. Still enjoying this and looking forward to the next episode.
Hi Andy, absolutely loved the two videos this week. I’m traveling through Hong Kong and Singapore and in HK we have medical surveillance of overseas travellers which means we cannot eat or drink in places but need to take it back to the hotel. No complaints on this hangover from Covid and it was lovely to watch your videos this evening. You entertained a lonely chap. Thanks mate and btw the BSA looks great. Take care!
It still reminds me of Norway. Waterton is a Dutch word meaning water barrel. The flatness of the plains reminds me a bit of my country. That alternative scenic route was very beautiful. Mountains are often more beautiful if looked from a not too high viewpoint. If you’re high(er) up they’re less impressive.
We came the other way from Montana. Did not get to do Hwy in the Sun be ause we needed a pass, which we did not know about. Still had a great time in Montana and Wyoming
Great video again, museum looked very interesting, also riding across the plains was different Sod’s law stop for waterproofs couple of miles down the road it stops raining. Cheers Andy 👍🏍⛰
So disappointed for you NOT getting to see the Going to the Sun Highway. The route around the park is nowhere near as spectacular as the aforementioned road. The West side takes you up some fantastic switchbacks to the park headquarters at Logan Pass. That area is so worth getting to. Then heading East you follow along St. Mary Lake to St. Mary and take a right hand turn on route 89. 89 connects to highway 2 and back to West Glacier. I am not trying to rub it in, Heaven/Hell knows I missed plenty on my 2018 trip in Europe, but I know you and the Mrs. would have loved it. Part of me thinks the tour company should have known about this rule change for 2022 as this would easily be a highlight of the trip. Glad you didn't let it get you down. Looking forward to your final installments.
Another great episode TMF & Montana looks amazing. Also the GS proves it's worth again as a true do everything bike. I'm sure there's no other steed you'd rather have had for that trip.
Rode the GTTSR 40 years ago from S-N, the most scenic direction. Like the Alps with only 1 foot barriers. Definitely land of the brave. Love following you with my maps. Brings back memories of travels when in my 20's. Like Spock would say- "Live long and prosper." 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Fantastic content on what we would also call the ultimate machine. We at KazoMoto are bike enthusiasts and hope Pottsy and so can bring you some of Australia. New sun and really keen to check out more of your channel. Thanks for sharing
😮reservation for going to sun road must be something new. That really sucks really to bad you guys missed one of the nicest roads in North America. World’s going upside down with some things 🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
It's really a shame you missed the mountainous part of the Going-To-The-Sun Road - it is pretty amazing and a one of a type road at least in NAM. Montana has great mountains - licence plates say Big Sky Country. Great place.
That drive down to Waterton has to me one of the most mundane rides. Reverse on the Wing is worth it's weight in gold even if a person seldom uses it. That spot where you stopped at the border on the side of the road is the same spot we stopped for a quick break in 2019. That was our last trip across the border since the covid thing started.
I haven't ridden Glacier NP in several years after going there several times. There was no need for reservations for a drive through, but it was crowded and I guess it must have gotten worse?
Those border guys can be ruthless. Not far from my neck of the woods. Real bear country waterton. I’ve experienced those stretched of no road and it’s no fun. Going to the sun road is really stunning.
Bummer about Road to the Sun - it's several hundred turns, many marked 15 or 20 mph, with huge drop off on one side and cliff on the other... and so much fun! I've ridden it at least 50 times both ways... - it is so tight and steep in some sections that it can scare the crap out of your pillion! I would rate it as one of the 3 best roads to ride in the Pacific Northwest, aka Cascadia. A sport bike is what you want for that ride...
Pity you couldn't spend more time in Waterton. The hotel you saw perched high on the bluff when entering the town is the iconic Prince of Wales hotel. It opened in 1927 and features prominently in the series "Tin Star" with British actor Tim Roth.
So, you're not home yet. Forgive me for the comments on the BSA clip. Still beautiful views once again. Thanks, and stay safe. Andy, I think you could have been a comedian.
i've been enjoying your trip but i must admit i was hoping you'd ride "going to the sun" which is the most beautiful road i've ever been on [1979]. sign of the crowded times that it is now reservations only. think of the traffic you missed.
That's too bad you two didn't get to do the Going-to-the-Sun road (tends to get really busy in the summer and SLOW going), but you did get some good views nonetheless 🙂
Most unfortunate you did not do the Going- to-the- Sun hwy as the scenery is to die for with quite a gain in altitude. That being said, it is very much akin to roads in the Alps and in summer you can be creeping along behind huge buses and motorhomes which becomes tedious quite quickly. The run from Head Smashed In to Waterton Lakes is one of my favourite. There are many wonderful motorcycling roads in Southwestern Alberta but maybe I am biased as it is my home turf.
All of this is making me quite Homesick, as I grew up just a few miles north of Bigfork. I'm guessing by this time, you and the Mrs. are looking forward to sleeping in your own bed, in your own home, under your own Cloudy skies?
It is criminal that you missed Going to the Sun road! I can understand that during Covid, everybody with a car jammed into the park, but asking Motorcycles to have reservations seems silly. I have riding over that pass many times, and the perfect time is late in a summer's evening with the sun setting in the west. Hopefully, you two will get to do that ride again in the future.
@@TheMissendenFlyer I see from the reservation page that reservations for 2023 have yet to be determined. Ideally, this pilot program will not be renewed.
Sorry about the change of rules to drive to the sun road, you missed one of the most breathtaking routes to ride or drive. We live in Calgary and have made this a day trip regularly because it is a view to not miss. The only crappy part is the traffic on the road and the other drivers of 4 wheelers that are so scared of driving themselves off the cliffs that they have to drive in the middle of the road, not in their lane.
Montana is known as Big Sky Country. Specialy at night. Did you get to experience it or was it too cloudy? I don't like those sketchy roads either. I just let the bike do it's thing an usually works out fine.
Meks ya laf when Canadians need a Border check but ALL of Latin America gets a free pass at Mexican Border. Excellent video skills mate. Glad you are doing what u love ya lucky bloke ya. 😕
This lottery booking deal sucks. Lot of constraints to get into our parks. So dam,n crowded during covid and crazy people trashing the places has caused it. Hope you got to see Riding to the Sun Hwy is certainly a beautiful drive. I have seen grizzlies beside the road and hot meals walking up tp take photos. I have purchased a lifetime pass available due to my age but it has limits when it's crowded. Utah and other places aren't as bad. There's just so many people. Camping is almost out of the question. Ability to communicate contributes to the ability to do this as well. One click, in or out. Drones, almost forbidden in USA. Mini's are about the only ones to have. Take care looking forward to other trips a nd reviews. Like the Goldstar.
Thank you Sam, yes that new booking procedure is a real pain - especially for tour groups like ours where getting the timing right and details of who is on what bike is almost impossible….
Stunning roads & landscape just keep coming,what a great trip!
It sure was!

No! By this time we were well into life on the road and were happy to just continue!!
It is criminal that you missed Going to the Sun road! I can understand that during Covid, everybody with a car jammed into the park, but asking Motorcycles to have reservations seems silly. I have riding over that pass many times, and the perfect time is late in a summer's evening with the sun setting in the west. Hopefully, you two will get to do that ride again in the future.
Yes having time slotted reservations mean foregin tour groups effectively won't be able to go in future - not great!
@@TheMissendenFlyer I see from the reservation page that reservations for 2023 have yet to be determined. Ideally, this pilot program will not be renewed.
Fingers crossed!
Sorry about the change of rules to drive to the sun road, you missed one of the most breathtaking routes to ride or drive. We live in Calgary and have made this a day trip regularly because it is a view to not miss. The only crappy part is the traffic on the road and the other drivers of 4 wheelers that are so scared of driving themselves off the cliffs that they have to drive in the middle of the road, not in their lane.
I’ve just binge watched up to #18 over the last two days.
Imagine my disappointment to discover I now have to wait for the next instalment. 😩
Oh dear!!! Sorry about that - coming on Saturday (good effort by the way!)
@@TheMissendenFlyer - I couldn’t wait so I’m watching ‘the Arctic circle by BMW R1200 gs’
Montana is known as Big Sky Country. Specialy at night. Did you get to experience it or was it too cloudy?
I don't like those sketchy roads either. I just let the bike do it's thing an usually works out fine.
Yes certainly did experience the big skies.....
Good morning Mr Flyer , enjoying the series but is the riding a lot of mile munching and not a lot of motorcycle riding in twisty roads etc ?
Yes it's not a particularly twisty ride - more long sweepers I'd say (which I prefer personally)....
Two questions Andy, is your Speedo calibrated in mph or kph……and, where would you rate your Schuberth helmet against say a Shoei Neotec 2….?
Obviously mph (would he be going only 70 kph on a major highway?). He'd have to change his name to The Missenden Plodder 😄
Yes it was an American bike so the speedo was in MPH....

Can You produce a version seamless travel, with just soft music?
No...but thanks for asking.
Meks ya laf when Canadians need a Border check but ALL of Latin America gets a free pass at Mexican Border. Excellent video skills mate. Glad you are doing what u love ya lucky bloke ya. 😕
Thank you...
2 thumbs up!
Thank you. Thank you :0)
This lottery booking deal sucks. Lot of constraints to get into our parks. So dam,n crowded during covid and crazy people trashing the places has caused it. Hope you got to see Riding to the Sun Hwy is certainly a beautiful drive. I have seen grizzlies beside the road and hot meals walking up tp take photos. I have purchased a lifetime pass available due to my age but it has limits when it's crowded. Utah and other places aren't as bad. There's just so many people. Camping is almost out of the question. Ability to communicate contributes to the ability to do this as well. One click, in or out. Drones, almost forbidden in USA. Mini's are about the only ones to have. Take care looking forward to other trips a nd reviews. Like the Goldstar.
Thank you Sam, yes that new booking procedure is a real pain - especially for tour groups like ours where getting the timing right and details of who is on what bike is almost impossible….
@@TheMissendenFlyer total nightmare have to book months ahead of time and you can't do generic reservations. sucks
Its nice to hear you pronouncing "glacier " correctly.🙂
I'm also glad you stopped calling the first nations people "Indians" 🙂
Sorry for my errors!
P.s. my Aunt and Uncle live in High Wycombe
Unlucky!
Nobody ever told you not to switch off engine while cooling fan is running? , can boil over !!
Not true, never had an issue on any of my bikes…
@@IanTed i have on 2 bikes , on my R1 you could hear it !!! Boil and then piss its self
Nope - never heard that before (fan tends to continue to run if needed on my bikes)
@@TheMissendenFlyer yep doz on newer bikes for exactly the reason of boiling over
Nice Babe Backup at 5:03
Great video, thanks, but please note that when I clicked on the motorrad-tours link, my firewall discovered an embedded bot it didn't like.
Really? Strange….
