After a lifetime on bikes, at 64 I can’t ride any more due to illness. I get so much pleasure watching you guys on YouTube. Enjoy and be safe. I’m on your shoulder. Thank you.

I lost my great Uncle in the Battle of Arras, he went into the battle as a CSM in the Northumbria Fusiliers, Tyneside Irish Battalion, after 5 days and 2 field promotions he was killed as a 1st Lieutenant with the Military Cross. His body wasn't found either. War is terrible, politicians who start wars are even worse.

Those graves should be a compulsory school trip. When I went I could not stop bawling. 2 great grandfathers there 22 and 21yrs old. I know schools do the prison camps but this would be better. The bike looks v heavy Charlie, fair play and lovely content thanks.
Like this e clamps I remember having to take your own straps years ago.
On my first ever trip with some mates I had the ferry tickets( before codes) 😁and my tank bag filled up with rain as it was cats and dogs at Dover and I had to get off to try and peel the faded sodden 8 tickets apart much to the annoyance of everyone behind

Well done you 👍. Kudos to the French for the immaculate upkeep of war graves.

Thanks for your brilliant videos I was at the Somme and Normandy three weeks ago had a great time

Lovely trip so far. I'm planning to do the Ardennes and Vosges in August.

Very fitting memorial. What a tragic loss of life 😢

Super je suis en Charente Maritime si vous

Very impressed with your French Charlie. I had 2 grandfathers in WWI. As Americans obviously later in the War. Great job kiddo.

I always carry Sugru mouldable glue for sorting out 'on the fly' repairs; good stuff 👍

[millinutz]

Yes, you keep your jacket on. No matter what. You don't wanna mess up those nice Tattoos.
Ride safe, have fun and enjoy yourself..., i'm looking forward to part two.

Thank you for this video Charlie. I used to get uncomfortably warm riding here in western Canada in temps 29C to 35C until I stopped wearing the black riding gear. I wear light grey "adventure" gear (Rev'it Sand 3) and I'm much more comfortable. I have my black gear for cool weather it works fine.

Love this, Charlie. I found it quite emotional to see you visit the memorial to your fallen relative. Enjoying the freedom which he helped provide. Let’s never forget 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[garryclarke-kray]

Well done you, well kept grave sites and the campsites look good

Beautiful video Charlie . My Great Grandad also fought at the Somme in 8th battalion Kings Liverpool Regiment. He survived, but got shot through the head the following year at Passchendaele . He survived that too and eventually left the Army in 1923. He never recovered fully from his wounds and died homeless in 1931 .

Hi Charlie great video's love France did some touring few years ago on my bmw great rds, safe journey x

[DieTabbi]

👍. The first bike with male name. Cool idea. And the first ferry I see using clamps and wow workers tie down the bike. I had everytime to ask someone helping me 🤭

[Canadian-Dutchman-Peter]

Dapper dat jij deze trip hebt gedaan, ik voelde de spanning tijdens het kijken. Ik heb door het met de motor op reis te gaan meer vertrouwen gekregen. Respect en ga verder door met kijken naar Part 2.

[geraldfitzgibbon]

That was great charlie. That mamorieal was very
heart quietning.
Thank you

[felixklages]

Sehr schöne Impressionen und ein super Video was du da machst. Ebenfalls mag ich, das du deinen Groß-Großonkel an dem Kriegsmal besuchst, das spricht dafür, das du einen guten Charakter hast.
