Amazing to think that Honda designed their Evo 6 concept bike almost 13 years ago, and it still looks sexier than today's Triumph Rocket in my opinion. I'm hoping they'll resurrect it because the goldwing engine is awesome. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
So much of it has changed in 50 years but if you get the chance, in SW Pennsylvania, visit the Frank Loyd Wright house Falling Waters and then in the same trip visit Ohio Pyle and Cucumber Falls a set of white water rapids and a waterfall you can walk behind. The ride in the Appalachian Mountains is gorgeous as are so many others across the states.
Yes I love the diversity of landscapes you have in the US - spectacular country to visit....look forward to coming back when all this madness hets under control.....
I have been to Wales twice and stayed at Porthmadog in a mobile home in 2014. If you are looking for narrow twisty roads go to Cornwell, i rode it on my friends 1200 GS BMW. Greetings from Durban, South Africa.
That structure is the Stwlan Dam, its has an Hydro Electic Function (water escapes down pipes, generates Electricity, pumped back up in the night to fill the dam, its near the town of Tanygrisiau. yes its off the beaten track, but worth while for tremendous walks.
Do bear in mind that this year we got literally 4 or 5 rain-free days in the whole of August and even the dry days were really grim and dark. The difference between the West and East side of Britain is considerable.
Thanks Mr and Mrs Flyer for the vicarious trip in my back yard. Currently locked down in the Vale of Glamorgan with a shiny new bike and limited places to go. So your vlog is a joy to watch. Ref the Portmeirion and GPS thing. Portmeirion isnt really a proper village as such its classed as a hotel. So most GPSs (and software such as Basecamp) dont find it with out its proper address. Weird I know.
I live in Wales and have travelled all over it on my bikes, the satnav hasn’t done you any favours with the route it’s selected, there are so many far better roads/routes that you could have taken on that journey whilst not deviating too far from the general route.
Yeah, even just looking at google maps to mark his journey I saw what looked like many roads I would’ve loved to take a ride down. Unfortunately, Satnavs (to the best of my knowledge) find the most direct routes, not the most fun, or interesting.
Great ride, especially as you caught some good weather. The riders eye view of the instruments and controls on the Goldwing is so classy and uncluttered unlike the BMW GS’s! And the sound of the 6 cylinder motor is beautifully smooth and again classy. Also the overall design is great as everything seems to be ‘designed in’…..unlike the BM’s boxy ‘add ons’! Sorry all you BMW owners but in my view the Goldwing is simply beautiful in every respect and from what I hear is far more reliable……
Loved it again! I don’t want this series to end. I think bikers in general have a huge appreciation for the countryside and the views (and smells) it offers. Well done, another great watch. 👍🏍🎥
I had the same problem in my car with friends but as you get nearly to port madock it’s sign posted port merrian , one of my favourite places to visit.
Well be fair, the language is as different from english as it gets aside from it being written in normal characters. It would be more surprising for someone who doesnt know it to get it right on the first try.
Ha a Prisoner mention! Don’t know why my parents let me watch that as a kid, couldn’t follow the plot, but that white balloon that swallowed up people scared the crap out of me.
Prisoner fan here. (I bought the DVD set as soon as it was available.) The balloon was called "Rover". As soon as he mentioned Portmeirion, I had visions of TMF with it pressed up against his face. LOL!
I had always dismissed the wing as an oversized monstrosity on two wheels but watching how you hustle the thing along I'm quite impressed. Nice B&B stop
You realize the gold wing gl 1800 to the present ones are built on a sport bike frame, one of the fastest times on the Tail of the Dragon, was done on a gold wing.
You are now riding in my back garden. Fantastic roads, shame you didn't visit Portmeirion, I'm there in the morning for an hour (work unfortunately). Looking forward to episode 3. Hope you did the A4212 Trawsfynedd to Bala. A perfect road to ride a bike on, past Treweryn and down into Bala, biking heaven 🙌
Great video again Andy we live about 26 miles away from Bala spent most of my life biking around north Wales brilliant if you get the weather ☀️and your not on lockdown 😩. I’m still finding new roads 👍. I always ride with my wife as pillion great to see you out with Carol great to share your passion 👍
What lovely un potholed roads and that B&B looked great!, Good call about the speeding as the cops pretty hot in Wales! Looking forward to the next instalment!
thanks for you reply, I feel we should welcome everyone in the biking world and I know comments are just banter. I enjoy your reviews particularly as I very very reluctantly may have to trade in my Fireblade either that or have a hip replacement!
I enjoyed that little holiday in Wales. Thanks for posting! One of my favourite Welsh rides is into Barmouth when the Rhododendrum are in flower and the wide open beaches up by Harlech.
We had problems navigating Wales with the Garmins, doing weird U-turns and going down non-existent turnings, a local told us that Welsh people use TomTom. I love your touring vids, defo my favourite vlogs.
Finally! Getting close to my neck of the woods. Never worry about mis pronunciation... always attempt it, its a great way to start a conversation. Nice choice of route for the ‘Wing too, showing it in a different light, its got a frisky side to it...
Really enjoying this series! To be honest, I'd never have even taken a second look at the Goldwing before watching your vids.. it's always seemed so daunting, so big... but now would love to have a go on one and check it out. Looks like the ultimate, stress-free European tourer, and certainly the best option for 2-up. Also seems very well-mannered and still an lot of fun. Funnily enough, it's the only bike my wife looks at and says 'ooh... that looks comfortable!'.
Hi Andy. You passed the turning for the mach loop bt the cross foxes pub. Thee junction of the A470 and the A487. In fact its a great place to have a coffee and watch the approach run in. Glad you enjoyed my play ground
@@TheMissendenFlyer really nice decking at the back looking up the valley. There's a web site somewhere that gives you the says that they're flying i believe
For two up touring the wing is the ideal tool, new one is smaller than the gl1800 of old, and I bet handles even better. Lovely sounding when opening up too😬 great tour tmf.
The only thing I would worry about on that Goldwing would be hitting something with a bike the size of a block of flats ....the colossal inertia involved .
Another fantastic video to watch with stunning scenery and commentary. Thank you so much! I can see the attraction with the Goldwing - difficult to imagine a more relaxed or luxurious way to tour, with that flat 6 purring away whilst the DCT effortlessly swaps cogs as needed. I was thinking of you the other day when I read up on the just released 2021 BMW RT - I think they must have been stalking your channel, as they appear to have pretty much fixed a number of issues you highlighted in your excellent review of it. Looking forwards to the next instalment on this fantastic trip.. :-)
I don't think BMW listen to me!! But great news if the RT is now improved, looking forward to having a go on the new model, it is a great bike (just not as good as the GW!)....mind you it's a lot cheaper too....
i live and work around those areas. When you're going up the 20% hill near Dinas Mawddwy, over to Cross Foxes and Dolgellau, that's on the route of the Mach Loop. The other day I was there and thought my van had something wrong with it as there was this awful clattering sound. I turned the radio off quickly to try to figure out where it was coming from, and in the corner of my eye I saw a whopping great chinook fly past! Wonderful things. Should have known, very regularly jets and all sorts flying around there. Looks like a good ride, croeso i Gogledd Cymru.
Another great one Andy, to answer your pronunciation question for Caersws it's pronounced Kyre like tyre and soos as in loose but both said as one word.
Van van van van, traffic traffic traffic traffic! What are you like? My wife and I love your tour videos. So nice to see your Mrs! Keep up the good work! Traffic video! Sorry I ment terrific! 😄
Beautiful vistas, winding roads, and funny town names. Doesn’t get any better than that 😃🏍👍. But how you have survived without the Mrs. putting knots on your head is beyond me 😆, some of those comments would have earned me a early grave 🤪.
@TMF, the bit where you were following the Blue Car up the 20 is part of the Machloop, CAD East and West. the little carpark on the left at the top of the pass(travelling N, as you were) is where you would park before getting on Shanks' Pony to the viiewing point
We went to Port Meirion seems to have its own eco system. Chucking down With rain all around and it was bright sunshine and 20 degrees when we were there.
At the point where you did the overtakes in the 40's is a place called Dynas Mawdwy... If you had turned right there it takes you over the top of the ridge between Bala and Vernwy... Stunning views and fighter jets regularly.... FYI.
Blimey, some of the sharp angled turns/ bends must’ve been an interesting experience for FLTMF. Looked amazing footage throughout the vlog - Wales is a beautiful beautiful part of the country and very friendly too.
Another great tour vid, I think the commentary makes all the difference. I think a Goldwing would be the bike to convince the missus to pillion again as long as there was room for shopping🤣🤣🤣
Great episode. The Prisoner Patrick McGoohan took some understanding. Think he drove a Lotus 7 in the opening credits. Most famous quote from series, "I am a name not a number!"
Although we do have a lot of beautiful back country single lane roads here in the States as well, but just a little difficult to have a relaxing ride like this while the locals are ripping the pavement 75 to 85 miles / hr in their pickups with rifle racks mounted on the rear windows (although we are not intimated by the rifle racks :) since we all grew up and own all kinds of firearms, but a huge V8 Dodge Ram on your tail is).
@@TheMissendenFlyer Yes, I could tell from the video. 😉 The Goldwing appeals on so many levels but the size and weight is a big put off for me. Its one of the things I am fighting with the Softail Deluxe, not so much riding it but moving it about the garage and car parks etc. Really enjoying your trip in Wales. 👍
Andy re : " could of got pass there " comment no you couldn't of because your panniers would of been over the white line. Only saying as after 50 years of riding its something I only recently learnt. As always enjoyed this video and great to see Carol again. I somehow think at the end of this series many of us will not be surprised with what you tell us '😉
Next time your in Llandovery stop for a cuppa in the owls nest biker cafe it’s cracking, great video keep them coming, Diolch (thank you) as we say in Wales
I have a 2020 GSA but your love for the GW is a bit infectious, thought I had the only bike I needed but now I think I need two ! Actually, make that three, one needs a good scooter or the like !!! 😂😂😂
@@TheMissendenFlyer oh no, what am I doing !? . . . dare accepted, now to find a dealer that has one in stock and will let you ride it. They’re a bit weird here in Australia and the GW is so pricey here but I’ll see what I can do.

That's because she's in an abusive relationship. Plain to see she's scared. so sad... . 3 times he said she was fat to thousands of people.

Amazing to think that Honda designed their Evo 6 concept bike almost 13 years ago, and it still looks sexier than today's Triumph Rocket in my opinion. I'm hoping they'll resurrect it because the goldwing engine is awesome. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
Amazing sound the Gold Wing makes.
what sound? I guess if you like the sound of a sewing machine.
Nice, lovely scenery and impressed by the Goldwing.
Glad you clarified about the beast!
Always love the references to Teapot1 “look at thaaat”
Loved The Prisoner
“I am not a number.....”
The scenery reminds me so much of where I grew up in western Pennsylvania, absolutely beautiful there in Wales.
It sure is - Ive never been to Pennsylvania - should I add it to my list?
So much of it has changed in 50 years but if you get the chance, in SW Pennsylvania, visit the Frank Loyd Wright house Falling Waters and then in the same trip visit Ohio Pyle and Cucumber Falls a set of white water rapids and a waterfall you can walk behind. The ride in the Appalachian Mountains is gorgeous as are so many others across the states.
Yes I love the diversity of landscapes you have in the US - spectacular country to visit....look forward to coming back when all this madness hets under control.....
Land of my Fathers. Good to hear from Mrs Flyer, good work.
Another great episode......you were blessed with beautiful weather for your trip.......stay safe......thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I've started something I can't stop lol ..watching these videos ...love em
Rock on!
Another nice ride with the Goldwing engine sounding like a smooth turbine . I can see that Mrs Flyer is more confident now in front of the camera .
Gorgeous scenery, well done old man
Thank you kindly
I have been to Wales twice and stayed at Porthmadog in a mobile home in 2014. If you are looking for narrow twisty roads go to Cornwell, i rode it on my friends 1200 GS BMW. Greetings from Durban, South Africa.
Greetings to you Derek!
Being in drought stricken Northern California, it's nice to see hillsides that a lush and green. Stunning scenery in Wales.
"Drought" and "Wales" are words rarely seen in a sentence....
Always nice to see the Mrs smile during the riding breaks, as opposed to stretching in discomfort as some bikes would cause.
Very true....
That structure is the Stwlan Dam, its has an Hydro Electic Function (water escapes down pipes, generates Electricity, pumped back up in the night to fill the dam, its near the town of Tanygrisiau.
yes its off the beaten track, but worth while for tremendous walks.
Well, guess I have to add Wales to my must-visit list on my Tuono. Thanks once more, Andy!
Perfect territory for it Rutger!
Do bear in mind that this year we got literally 4 or 5 rain-free days in the whole of August and even the dry days were really grim and dark. The difference between the West and East side of Britain is considerable.
This machine is the perfect steam locomotive to tour. It seems there is nothing that could stop it. Nice feeling of well mastered muscle power.
Couldn't agree more!

Never in the field of motorcycle touring have so many place names been mispronounced by so few🤣

Well be fair, the language is as different from english as it gets aside from it being written in normal characters. It would be more surprising for someone who doesnt know it to get it right on the first try.
Who cares. It's about the bike and the great countryside or am I missing something?
Lovely part of the world.

I love how patient Carol is with your quips and other jokes! :-)
"Patient"? She laps 'em up....
I bet you are pleased you managed that trip before the latest lockdown, due to coronavirus, 23 October to 9 November... what good luck you had!
Indeed - sneaked in at exactly the right time....
Sounds awesome that bike! Love the dct sound track!
Me too!

Glad you enjoyed....
I have a 2020 GSA but your love for the GW is a bit infectious, thought I had the only bike I needed but now I think I need two ! Actually, make that three, one needs a good scooter or the like !!! 😂😂😂
I dare you to try the new Goldwing!
@@TheMissendenFlyer oh no, what am I doing !? . . . dare accepted, now to find a dealer that has one in stock and will let you ride it. They’re a bit weird here in Australia and the GW is so pricey here but I’ll see what I can do.
