I did the Challenge last year on a Spyder RTL for the 50th anniversary of Can-AM and the 10th Anniversary of the Challenge. I took 4 days to get from the tunnel at Calais to Altmunster so a much more enjoyable ride allowing me to see more of the scenery. my total trip was 3 weeks from home and back to home with a total of almost 4000 miles. I couldn't do such a rushed trip with such high daily mileage now.
You will have tell us all about your experience on the Can Am and what it's like on a trip. Definite left field choice for sure. Love the little chapel in the woods🙏
PS. The pass you need to have is called a Vignette, it is like Euro 5 for a car for 10 days and about half price, dont know exact, for a MC. You can buy it on the border. It is needed for the freeways in Austria.
@@R1_Liz Easy to miss, I missed it in Slovakia once, was pulled over but the cops were nice and let me go, telling me to just go to a gas station and buy it and I would be off the hook. Later found out, I had needed one in CZ as well. It is always good to check local regulations about things like that when going to other countries. Now, there are other things that cops usually try to get you for but there is international laws where one is good if complying with home country rules. Examples are that some, if not all of the former Yugolslav republics have these rules that you mush have spare bulbs to each of you ligths, 2 warning triangles, towing line, first aid kit, spare fuses for all fuses in your vehicle. These are local laws and do not apply to foreign vehicles
Enjoyed the video. Liked and subscribed. Just a heads up. Austria used to be very partic.ular with their "dashcam" regulations. I dont know if they have changed their laws but you need to check up on it. A chin mount camera could give you quite a hefty fine. I found this ""photography and video recording while driving is strictly prohibited in Austria. Any video recorders for the time of travel on Austrian roads must be turned off, and their use proven during a police check will also result in a fine." That is from September 2023. Cheers from a Swede in Mexico
Oooooh it did not even occur to me to check this! So I guess you can enjoy rare riding footage in Austria in my next videos 😬 I didn’t see many cops but I did see a few people recording so I suppose it’s not a very well respected law
I was riding in Austria last year, I have a front and back dash cam camera recording all the time the bike is switched on, a camera mounted to the side of my helmet and a 360 degree camera on stick. I was constantly recording and had no problems.
@@JimGDMAC And I would probably also. Just saying it is wise to check up each country. The Asutrian case is basically how they interpret GDPR data protection laws. Scouring the internet one finds all kinds of information, where it might be permissable to use it in max 5 min intervalls, where other info says it is ok, as one does not publish fiilm with individuals who can be identified, or cars with license plate. Some indications says it can result in a fine up to 10K Euros, which is unreal amount. EU dont have a federally governed rules by this. Many countries are very laxed, while apperantly some are not. Most of it comes down to how each country interprets GDPR and similar laws. Cheers
I had a little look as well and it’s wild how in depth it goes with no real black and white rules. It seems to come down to if the recording is for surveillance purposes, followed by where it gets published and why. Surely any photography at all for social media would be affected if other people are visible in shot, and then would you be expected to blur out peoples faces when photographing in tourist locations to post online? Huge can of worms. I was photographed and filmed many times while in Austria without consent so I wonder if those people worry about data protection laws 😅
@@R1_Liz Yes true, it call comes down to the privacy and consent laws. Although GDPR intent is good, it is just to much. Ask anyone that has a website. Howevery, if filming in hand, or photography in hand, it should be ok. It is only when the camera is fixe to a building or vehicle that it applies, however, in Austria, if you hold the camera in hand, but are on the vehicle, while in other countries it does not.
According to a bloke on Farcebook, you were wearing dangerous trousers. I hope you wore the asbestos trousers and pink cricket box on the way home. I'm no fan of trikes, but even less of the Self Appointed Safety Police, and said so. 😂😂😂
I noticed that and decided to stay out of it 😬 I am usually very strict about what I wear on bikes, however on this occasion I relaxed ever so slightly due to the extremely low risk of an accident where protective pants would make any difference. Legally I don’t even have to wear a helmet on this.
@R1_Liz it's the overtly sexist nature of comments like that which grinds my gears. My partner Suz and my best mate Fi from Scotland are both lady bikers, a bit older than you these days (we all are 😆 ), but they've heard it all over the years.
@@R1_Liz As much as I hate 'grassers' (he was probably jealous that you got 'invited' and he had to pay) It's worth remembering like it or not, you become a 'representative' of your 'sponsors' at these sort of 'do's'. Which can come in handy remembering if you want to be asked back next year, or by similar 'sponsors' in the future. (I was riding bikes for nearly 40+ years in 'dangerous trousers' 🤣👍
Was great to finally meet you Liz!
hi Liz,💐, have a great time and enjoy your meet,💐😎🏴👍

I just bought few days ago the spyder f3-S, same color as yours. already made 250 miles so far.
Great run, you made good time. Really enjoyed the video, looking forward to the next one. Looks like a good meet

Excellent as always 👌rivet stay safe and keep up the good work
That was brilliant, a great show.
Hi R1liz really enjoyed this vlog and really love my cartoon fireblade stickers ❤❤❤
Well done..🎉🎉

I did buy one as soon as I found out the same day, so fingers crossed I’m ok and that’ll teach me for not doing my research 😅

Good video Liz, you do make me chuckle 😃, What do you think of the 🕷, A bit different to the R1. Take care, Best wishes Roy.
see the cars all had UK plates... wonder if its the lot i passed on the M20 that were heading towards the tunnel
Yep, all shouty English people - I was surprised how many there were the whole way south 😅
