I'll be completely honest with you dude, we've been doing this for over ten years and just about to set off in june for another 11 countries in 2 weeks, but it's totally refreshing to watch it through someone's eye's that's not done it before !! It brings back so many memories it's fantastic ! I applaud you and wish you many many days, weeks, months and years of travelling abroad, it is the best thing ever 😃 stay safe and of course enjoy yourself 👍🏍🍷🍷🍷
You're an inspiration mate. France it is! ☺👍🏼 Come and try IRELAND some time. Moved over here a couple decades ago and HIGHLY recommend the rides; East, West or Central. Great scenery, food & architecture. And the people are amazing. Keep it rubber-side down. 🇬🇧🇮🇪Peace🍃🌱
@@laterrider We, here in Ireland, have a HUGE biking community; along with the younger (and VERY respectful) bikers there's many, like yourself: either returning or later biker-types too. There are rallies, organised tours, biker friendly B&Bs, Charity runs, DGR (which the fiancee and myself will be doing for the first time this year!!😉👍🏼) and so many rideouts it's easy to get double or even 'triple' booked... ☺. Not that I've...err 🤔... umm. (Oops... 😂) Ireland has proved to be a real goldmine for the true spirit of biking. I've never been stuck; theres ALWAYS someone you can ask if your in jam or just out of fuel.😋 It's a REAL community. Anyways keep up the good work. Like I said: you're an inspiration. Keep it rubber-side down mate. 🏍Peace🍃🌱
Regarding parking on street, not an issue in Europe excepting the big cities, here well that’s another matter. I’ve toured in Europe for 20+ years and found it much more biker friendly….been to southern Belgium this year staying in the Ardennes, recommended.
Is Leona your cat or dog??? 😁😁You never say Wife, Lover, Friend, partner. So many variations. 😊 Would love to live in those caves. A constant year round temperature. I bet it was cool. I've been through all of them now. Just waiting for a new one. Thanks.

What a wonderful message - thank you so much!!! 😃
Your hotel in Tours was less than 5 minutes walk from the historic centre. I also visited Villandry on my recent trip and fell in love with the place.
I’m going back there is July with Lianna - my wife! Can’t wait to show her the beautiful area 😃

Saumur is worth a look..famous for horse riding...and a lovely town.
Unfortunately I missed that 😫
This is motivational ( at least for those into bikes) as the kind of lifestyle that can be achieved through property investing. Happy travels Tony
Thanks so much Steven 😃
That’s the best excuse I’ve heard for a motorcycle trip , thanks for the idea, stay safe 🍀
Thank you 😃

Lianna is wife, lover and best friend 😃
Yes, the caves were amazing 😃
@@laterrider 🥰Thanks.
👍
I wanted to know about parking once you checked in, but you left us hanging. :O
I’m so sorry about that, I should have finished that one off properly 🤔
@@laterrider 😀
😊
Loving your videos…we rode though that region not to long ago on our way to the Pyrenees.
It’s such a beautiful part of the world isn’t it Keith. I’d like to go back because I now realise there’s some great places I missed 😊
fantastic tony
Thank you 😃
I've been to that Mushroom farm! :)
It was really interesting (never thought I’d say that about mushrooms!) 😳
International parking anxiety! I know the feeling.
Yes indeed 😬
Your bike is much safer in France than in the UK. You can park almost anywhere with a bike but be reasonable. Pavements are often good.
👍
Agree. Motorcyclists are much more respected in France. Both for parking, and on the road. Thanks France.
I certainly got that impression from all the hotel staff I spoke to… they all told me not to worry 😊
Why nir tell us hotel cost's??
Impressive chateau.
Reckon the doors are all self-closing and the EPC is “C”?
Umm… perhaps a “D?” 😃
Where did you park in the end ? Or is that in the next episode ?
I parked in that underground car park I rode past 😊
I hope you weren’t flying a drone at Chambord, it’s a no fly zone.
No, that was just me walking around the upper level :-)
reble 500 better than what your riding
Ok
