Conquering the Route Napoleon on the Honda Gold Wing!

Mrs Flyer and I love to go touring on motorcycles, this time we've decided to go "two up" on our brilliant Honda Gold Wing into Europe to explore some of the more scenic areas - we are doing it without a plan, without a guide, just literally "Winging it!. I hope you enjoy the series! (Episode 4 of 10)

Does motorcycling get better than this? Oh yes, many fold. This is boring people to tears!

Never underestimate the joy you can bring to people who can’t do these trips themselves. The views may not be as high as a bike review, but those are a mix of people following you and those who are interested in the bike being reviewed.
For me, these videos are the best, full stop. The banter between you and Carol only makes them better.
As you said, you don’t need to go too far to find these beautiful routes. More British and European trips might be the way forward, rather than an expensive far flung ones. Thank you.

The balance between bike time and accommodation is perfect. Please don’t change.

I really enjoy the tour videos. New bikes come and go but touring is where it is at.

[KCPieRider]

I am very much enjoying the tour videos. I really like the room reviews! Riding southern Europe looks spectacular!

[Markevans]

I think the tours are the best thing about your channel. The format you are doing at the moment is great, love looking at the scenery, the types of road etc etc

[xfactor]

Winging it is one of my favorite ways to travel.

I have to say that I love watching your tour videos. I understand that for some people it might not be their cup of tea but for me the blend of information and imagery is perfect. I said once before that I cannot afford to do a lot of the trips that you guys do and being taken along for the trip by you is perfect for me. I even loved the one that you did to the Isle of Wight even though I have been there many times. We even ate at the Crab and Lobster at Bembridge. It’s just interesting to see it from another persons perspective. Thank you.

@21:54 that is a great pan of a view. I actually love the touring videos. It gives me ideas and focuses my thinking on planning and priorities. I love the eye candy of shots like this. I like following your route on a map to better orient myself and look up some history as well. It's been too long since I've been to Europe and would love to go back and make the most of my time there. Too many of us Americans do not understand or appreciate the history, simple differences in lighting and topology, the multitude and depth of civilization in architecture alone, etc. Too many barely leave their own state, let alone, the country. Some touring videos just zip through areas. By their standards, I've technically been to Greece with a 2 hour airport layover in Athens once, which is meaningless to me. You and Carol stop and smell the roses, so to speak. And that is much appreciated.

Hi Andy. The screen is great - much better fully up, so it doesn't obscure the road. The riding action is the highlight for me. Seeing places I'll probably never bother to go. I'm trapped here in the motorcycle heaven of New Zealand's South Island. Fantastic roads and scenery and comparatively little traffic.

[davidrogers]

Love the tours especially the on bike stuff.I've got health issues and can't do the big tours so it's great to watch yours.Keep doing all the tours&reviews love to watch them all.

[guzziman]

I have been watching all your tours for years, to me they are great...better than Netflix

[RRTLE]

Great video. Planning our next tour, and this route will be part of it! Like the choice of music for a walk about Briançon 👍

[andywharam]

I could watch you two on the mighty beautiful Goldwing all day long (yeah I know I’m a 63 yo sado, lol) the scenery is simply stunning 🤩 & the lovely purring from the 6 cylinder engine is so relaxing, more please Andy & Carol, brilliant work guys😊😎

[martynlaverick]

I love these tour videos and feel they have got better and better. In addition to the roads I really enjoy seeing the scenery and then the places you stop at and the hotels. Plus the two of you presenting is a nice feature as well. Helps give a fab overall feeling to the tour.

[deancassidy]

I just love to listen to the sound of the Gold Wing I don’t even need the scenery !😂

[russellsilverson]

I like the touring videos not only for the content but also for ideas of where to go touring on my bike. I enjoy when I am touring finding out the history of a place and what people do in those places both past and present. Excellent!

[birchwoodbiker]

Great vids TMF don't break what's not broken good mix of content

[graemeshaw]

I really look forward to your travel videos. They are always entertaining, informative, and polished.
You cover everything on your channel with biker news, bike reviews, motorcycle shows, interviews and ride outs. There's something for everyone. Much appreciated.
Cheers and thank you.👍👍👍

The Route Napoleon is one of my goals journey wise, thanks for showing me what’s out there when I eventually get the time to ride all the way down there.
