Another great upload...I stumbled across your channel on TH-cam in May having never ridden! And now at 43 years old I have booked myself in with a local riding school. Thank you TMF.
A BMW K1100RS is the biggest bike I've owned but I must say that the sound of the Goldwing purring effortlessly along and carrying you in comfort looks VERY nice indeed.
just what the doctor ordered this morning, head wasn’t in the best of places, so cheered me up and can’t wait to get back on my bike now my sternum is healed after heart surgery.
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.
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 😞
Always notice that in France. I was told that most farmers and land workers etc live in villages and travel out to farms etc and only return in evening. Dunno, sounded about right
Loving the purr of the goldwings engine. So glad to hear of someone else who plots their routes like me, I also find it's also a great reason to stop for a coffee lol.
The thing with this big heavy bikes is that we can never depend on managing them by muscling it around. If we have to do something to move it slowly, will be always with the engine turned on, some body counter balance and a combination of throttle, clutch and a gentle rear break action . It demands some proper skills but with some love, work and practice , everything is achievable. And this is not different 😃✌️✌️
I know exactly what you mean about the littleFrench villages. All ghost towns, all beautiful, and they would all be a gigantic tourist attraction in the UK
I love listening to the lovely lazy Gold Wing engine. I was really hoping you would post episode 2 this morning, smashing scenery and a lovely start to the weekend thanks Andy🙂
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.
"Let's not crash, while I'm enjoying it". Always a good motto Andy. Really love these 2 vids so far. I've ridden all over this area in the past and what a good choice.
The roads of this episode look so much more fun than the motorways of episode 1. Love riding in France, empty roads sleepy villages, great coffee stops.
If only we could get us Brits to appreciate motorcyclists more on the road, as riding in France is a pleasure as they genuinely make way for motorcyclists in the majority of occasions. great series so far and i just hope Mrs Flyer don’t watch these or you will be in trouble 😂
Really enjoying your Goldwing on tour series, Belgium and Luxembourg are now on the list of places to tour, have to say though, that six pot motor on your 'wing' sounds absolutely glorious when you wind it on- Looking forward to Episode 3.
I lived in Belgium for nearly 20 years, I could show you some superb roads all ending at an abbey with a nice beer. Just one, a very very small one. ;-)
Tip for you ; Airbag jackets can be warm , BUT , in heat , they allow you to completely unzip the front of the motorcycle jacket , allowing a good breeze inside . The clasps of the airbag jacket hold everything together perfectly whilst that considerable breeze keeps you cool. Gloves inside the sleeves , which are kept loose , is another tip which generates a welcome breeze up the arms.
I make routes on the computer to put them in the satnav. I’m still flexible. I can stop using the route and just ride as I want. At a later stage I still can get back to a point of the route and ride that one. Don’t mind the screen, most of it isn’t in view in whatever position it is in. The Ardennes are in fact just the lower part of the Eifel mountains. I did a ride there and hope to do another one soon. Beautiful motorcycle roads. I have been riding in The Ardennes and Luxemburg too but with a car. Stay on the main and bigger roads in Belgium or you’ll be needing the GS. I did some with my sports touring bike and I only just made it. Forget that with the Goldwing.
That's the way to tour chilled and civilised. Great video ! You could give Mrs's fly a helmet cam and edit in few views as you concentrate on the road 😉
Ardennes Forest; France 60,000 ha; Belgium 218,000 ha and Luxembourg; 83,000 ha. Total of 361,000 ha or 3610 Square K. That is 892,350 acres or 1,394 square miles US. Great videos, Good Rides from Arizona USA.
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.
Even though microphones tend to not pick up engine sounds very well, the Gold Wing still sounds quite lovely -- powerful yet not overbearing. Very soothing sound. Great video, sir. Glad you shared this with us. Reminds me of my years in southern Spain on my K100RS.
Loving this Andy. I rode from the Pyrenees to Calais last year avoiding motorways over two days, not one pothole and endless beautiful towns and villages. Riding in France is fantastic, and the houses are cheap 😁
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. Looking forward to watching more of your tours. 😊
It’s what I believe you do best Andy. Look forward to many more. I had the honour of doing a Battle Field Tour with our Stuart and a number of his colleagues in and around the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge etc)
This brings back memories, as I used to do an annual bike tour to the Ardennes, where we initially based ourselves in Bouillon. In later years we based the tours in St Hubert. Great roads.
Thank you for another informative vid. I live in France so this adds to my repertoire of places to go and explore. But the reason I’m writing is to tell you about Priorité à droite. Please research this before your next trip to France as it’s very important. Sorry but it’s too complicated to explain in a comment. Many thanks, once again, for your videos.
Hi Andy, what a cracking couple of episodes so far mate. If that was in southern england or Lake District can you imagine it would be rammed. What a joy to see good roads, practically empty and good weather. Look forward to rest in series, cheers.
When I toured France on my blade when though loads of empty villages I kept wondering where all the people were too. Enjoying your relaxed tour so far and pleased you never came off 🙂
Beautiful Belgium. Such an overlooked destination, usually just somewhere people ride through. Which is perhaps why you don't see too many people touring here? And the sun signs on the righteous. Apparently. Good one to enjoy with my cornflakes team, TMF Happy travels 👍
Another amazing video Mr Flyer. Europe is amazing place with beautiful picturesque scenery, that why like bring at home, as UK as some of amazing scenery and picturesque with quaint villages like where you visited. I loved the windy roads you went on. So thanks again and I look forward the journey
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.
You’ve done well Clive, in my experience France tends to shut about 5 pm - never even opens on a Sunday! I do love France but there are aspects of the country that are very frustrating!
Looks like Montherme , where you stopped by the river , it’s a regular spot for fritters when we’re in the region for the Chimay Classic bike races in mid July
Hi Andy, I used to have a house in France and the streets were always deserted apart from market days, I don't know where they all hibernate but it's weird, keep up the good work. 😀
Very beautiful riding locations. You should get your comm system so we can hear your wife's comments too. My recovery is slow but getting stronger. Esophageal cancer is nasty. Thank you for bring us along with you. God Bless.
@@TheMissendenFlyer we were booked to go to Morocco in September with Toro but Lyndon had issues with accommodations so it’s called off again. Planning a trip on my own bike now to Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.
Hi Andy. Lovely videos. These videos are definitely encouraging me to plan a wee trip. Concerning the signage you read out as you rode into Arden, I think Avec vu sur l’avenir = With an eye on the future. ‘Hope you’re enjoying the summer back in Blighty.
What a wonderful series. Regarding screen. I prefer watching yr video with the screen up. The top isn't as in yr line of sight Ish. Bugs are few so extremely tolerable. Loving the video.
That is a just joyous, no racing just taking it all in and enjoying the experience of being at one with the road and the countryside..love it, it has just started raining here, maybe tomorrow for a nice ride around the broads for me.
@@TheMissendenFlyer Ahhh fun with enormous aircraft buzzing the rooftops! Newton St Faith currently for me though eyeing "downtown" Norwich for my photography.

Thank you for your videos. In France in any intersection if there are no signs whom presents from the Right end side has allways the Right of Way. Enjoy.

I passed mine this January at 42. Its great isn't it?
@@jamesmcgee157 passed mine at 16....49 years ago. 🤣🤣
Going for my test next month at 36 only got into biking after watching Mr Flyer
Loving the purr of the goldwings engine. So glad to hear of someone else who plots their routes like me, I also find it's also a great reason to stop for a coffee lol.
I love moto travel vlogs like this. Safe travels to u. Thank u!
Thank you for watching!
That Goldwing sounds like a turbine and so smooth! Windscreen is no worries Andy. Just do what you need to after all we are along for the tour too.
Thanks 👍
The thing with this big heavy bikes is that we can never depend on managing them by muscling it around. If we have to do something to move it slowly, will be always with the engine turned on, some body counter balance and a combination of throttle, clutch and a gentle rear break action . It demands some proper skills but with some love, work and practice , everything is achievable. And this is not different 😃✌️✌️
I know exactly what you mean about the littleFrench villages. All ghost towns, all beautiful, and they would all be a gigantic tourist attraction in the UK
Yes France is brim full of brilliant places - and they tend to get better the further south you go (as does the all important weather!)…..
Great little trip, loveing the sound of the Goldwing .
For me personally I really enjoy these tour's, great content, down to earth people and on a honda no less 😉 thank you sir!
Thank you Kieran, I’m so glad you like these trips. Stay tuned another episode coming along soon - all the best!
I love listening to the lovely lazy Gold Wing engine. I was really hoping you would post episode 2 this morning, smashing scenery and a lovely start to the weekend thanks Andy🙂
My pleasure Ian!
What a beautiful ride! I live in Nevada…now I’m planning out a dream ride in Europe! Thanks for all the great videos!
Thanks for watching!

Yes a few have mentioned that Phil - hard to believe but I like the idea!!
You've done an admirable job keeping to the starboard side of the road! Beautiful trip.
So far so good!
Yes he has. I noticed the little sticker there to remind him. I would need something like that if I ever visited the UK
"Let's not crash, while I'm enjoying it". Always a good motto Andy. Really love these 2 vids so far. I've ridden all over this area in the past and what a good choice.
Yes it seems like a sensible approach to me....
This Bruce guy knows how to pick a route! Beautiful!
He sure does!
Hi Andy,Fabulous videos of the stunning French countryside,really enjoying it,thank you😊
Happy riding 👍
The roads of this episode look so much more fun than the motorways of episode 1. Love riding in France, empty roads sleepy villages, great coffee stops.

Doesn’t it just - quiet smooth power….
I lived in Belgium for nearly 20 years, I could show you some superb roads all ending at an abbey with a nice beer.

Looks beautiful another lovely day for touring,
Got to say that goldwing sounds stunning, what great smooth sound from the engine 😀
Yes martin that big ol 6 cylinder is silky smooth and powerful - I love it!
Tip for you ; Airbag jackets can be warm , BUT , in heat , they allow you to completely unzip the front of the motorcycle jacket , allowing a good breeze inside . The clasps of the airbag jacket hold everything together perfectly whilst that considerable breeze keeps you cool.

Why do you say that - single track? Surface poor??
That's the way to tour chilled and civilised. Great video ! You could give Mrs's fly a helmet cam and edit in few views as you concentrate on the road 😉

Loving your little tour. The ‘Wing’ is proving itself the perfect touring companion! 😎 Looks to be a smooth as silk 👍
It sure is - the best touring bike I've yet found!
This brings back memories, as I used to do an annual bike tour to the Ardennes, where we initially based ourselves in Bouillon. In later years we based the tours in St Hubert. Great roads.

Yes it’s a superb machine for touring two up…
Cracking roads, enjoyable viewing better than the Saturday night tele.
Glad you think so Marc - cheers!
No problem on the Windshield, I really don't think about it. It looks like mine 🤷♂️.
Thanks James!
Very beautiful ride!
Beautiful Belgium. Such an overlooked destination, usually just somewhere people ride through. Which is perhaps why you don't see too many people touring here?

I love the English roads in Wales, Lake District, Yorkshire Dales etc. The Cotswolds are on my to do list.
Good stuff - The Cotswolds is nice, but not as good as your locale...I'd stay where you are!!
French provincial towns tend to close at about 7pm. Some of them may look great. But, they aren't the greatest places for an enjoyable night out.
You’ve done well Clive, in my experience France tends to shut about 5 pm - never even opens on a Sunday! I do love France but there are aspects of the country that are very frustrating!
Great way to wake up to the weekend, coffee, sausage butty and a lovely tour of the Ardennes!! Keep it up sir, more of the cafe and town stops please!
I try and fit them in when I can - thanks for watching!
Great video TMF, bridges are little highlights for me as well, don’t know why. Your Goldwing does look like a super comfortable way to travel 😎😎
It certainly is....

I'm amused by your turns of phrase! Lots of things are "cracking ". Reminds me of
Oops. Reminds me of Wallace and Gromit! Love it.
What a wonderful series. Regarding screen. I prefer watching yr video with the screen up. The top isn't as in yr line of sight Ish. Bugs are few so extremely tolerable. Loving the video.

A lovely road,bit further south in France,D961, Troyes to Dijon or reverse,make sure you have fluids with you,not many cafés on route.
nice to see no car's them road's look like so much fun

Wishing you both clear skies and a smooth road. 👋🏻
Thank you Mitch, and yes my move to editing in 4K seems to be paying off. Thanks for coming along on the trip!
Thank you for your videos. In France in any intersection if there are no signs whom presents from the Right end side has allways the Right of Way. Enjoy.
Aha - so I was right to proceed then - thanks for that - love it when I get to learn from the comments - cheers!
Quite enjoying this chilled out little tour. Got me thinking I might take a similar route myself later in the year. That goldwing is a lovely beast.
Go for it!
Thanks! 👍
My pleasure!
What a superb ride, stunning scenery and the wing turbine smooth what more can you ask for . Looking forward to next instalment 👍👏
Glad you enjoyed it Paul - next one on Wednesday.
we have stayed 3 time in bouillon very nice place and a small hope into lux. bouillon is our normal 1 st night stop on the way down south.
Yes plenty of sweepers in this part of Belgium and France. They are the best for leaning the bike over in my experience.
Yes brilliant fun - especially on a big stable bike like the 'Wing....
That's very nice riding and scenery. ❤📷🏍💕 Perfectly laid out for the wing. 👍🏼
Yes I couldn't agree more.....
