Hi Andy, just wanted to say thanks. I’m an Australian serviceman serving in Malaysia stuck in hospital waiting for an op on my spine. Your latest video brightens my day and allows me to dream of better times when my wife and I can purchase our dream bike for touring the land of oz. GS or RT is my challenge at the moment but given I’m 6ft 4’’ I’m leaning towards the GS. Please keep up the good work your videos are helping with my recovery. In military terms BZ. Jack and pip.

While you were riding in Tuscany, me and ten friends from the Detroit and Toronto area were riding in Ireland on hired BMW's from Celtic Riders. We followed the shores of Ireland in a clockwise fashion on the Wild Atlantic Way and had a great time. Over the 14 day period we had less rain than you did on day 1 of your 2023 Tuscany tour which did (pleasantly) surprise us. Great scenery, friendly people, lots of sheep and some fabulous chowders. Highly recommended tour and touring outfit.

Thank you for visiting us again! It was awesome and always a pleasure to show you this beautiful region 😊 and Mrs Flyer is a great passenger 😂

Spent my honeymoon in Tuscany 29 years ago, visited many of the same places. Now we are thinking of revisiting because you have awaken those memories. Great to see such a lovely ride through Italy.

Good to see you back on another tour.
We are great fans of Tuscany and one of our favourite lunch stops is Lucca.
You were commenting about the marble stairs in the villa, when you get up in the Tuscan mountains you will find the marble mines and villages where the churches are totally made of marble and in one village even the kerbstones where made of marble.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Perfect timing...my Saturday morning treat as I have my full English! ❤

What a cracking two episode adventure around Tuscany. My wife and I have seen a lot of Italy over 37 years together and we married in San Gimignano, so you brought back many fond memories there. (My late father spend 8 years in Rome during and after the conclusion of WW2. So Italy is very special to us ❤️ 🇮🇹 ). I’ve made a note of the tour operator and it’s on the list!!! Thanks Andy and I’m really enjoying your channel. 👍

HI Andy and Carol thanks for another great tour series what a treat for a Saturday morning, I agree with you about the slog we sometimes have to do on tour we are touring the same area and as it takes days to get there you’re often knackered by the time you get to the main bit so it makes sense to fly in and out and enjoy the riding, See you at the ABR in 5 days time 😊

You have inspired me to do this tour Mr. Flyer! Thank you for making this video tour.

[ricatiman]

A terrific start to what looks like another fabulous European tour! I'm eagerly awaiting more...

[dankorolyk]

Another fantastic tour to look forward to.Brilliant seeing you out again on the road.

[niveketihw]

Another amazing travelogue series to both make me envious and let us travel vicariously for a bit.

[JohnnyMotel]

I do love the Purrr of a BMW twin, a very luxurious sound.

[GreyBeardOnTwoWheels]

Nice to see you on the road again. Enjoy and stay safe! 👍

[TheWarHorseProject]

Brilliant, Andy. Great commentary. Great scenery. Thanks, .man. 660 Tuono might be the perfect ride!

[FreddieDobbs]

The place you’re staying- so beautiful👌🏻

[cliveomahoney]

Fabulous vid. I lived near Siena for several years . You visited many places that bring back great memories. May and June, due to the climate, relative absence of mosquitos and the wild flowers, are the best months to visit. Don't worry about your pronunciation of the places you visited, at least you made an effort! I genuinely can't think of a better holiday. I look forward to more episodes.

[martynlaverick]

Well this is a top one👍 Love the bit of sophistication as well. Looking forward to the rest of the vids.

[cozydram]

Hi Folks that looked quite amazing looking forward to the continuation thanks to brining this to
