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 3)

The Wing sounds magnificent, what a machine!
It just doesn't come across the same on the go pro we were there the start of August this year and we went the opposite way the gorge was on our left all the way but some stunning views and those over hangs 😂
That was actually a very relaxing pleasure to watch. Thanks
Hi andy have you noticed if your phone gets vary hot when using CarPlay. As my I phone shutdown with the heat. So I have gone back to the nav 6. I would like to hear of your experiences with it.
For content i have a iPhone 12 pro max and is otherwise fine
Hi andy and carol. How do you mount the 360 camera? Love the scenes with just the goldwing engine in the background!
Thanks
Nice one Andy, the circuit of the gorgee is a real favourite for me cycling as it's a couple of hours drive from my place in Menton. 85km circuit roughly. Next time try the little interior loop called Route Des Cretes, it is spectacular. Took my gf up there in my old Porsche and she had some vertigo but loved views
Nice Ride! Itchy Boots has amazing drone footage of her ride in Turkey. Take a look.
850 kilometers through Turkey 🇹🇷 on my 1987 Yamaha Ténéré XT600 | S8, EP06

Another enjoyable episode. Cracking scenery and the roads weren’t bad too. Something I hope to do in the future with my misses, looks great fun.
Exhilarating video on a stunning GW. Just fantastic to follow you both on this adventure in France. Stunning job. It’s certainly an amazing ad for the GW. Sublime machine. 🙏💪🏍️
Great News Andy. Not sure if you remember me saying my misses was doing her Mod 2. She just called to say she has passed with no faults. So excited for her.
My wife and i did that trip round Gorges du Verdon in 2022, very beautiful and nice driving with amazing views.
Used to work down that way for a holiday company. Would advise people to go in a clockwise direction if they don’t care for being on the drop side.
Just noticed the revs – the bike is barely ticking over most of the time, some engine!
Have driven around the Gorges du Verdon twice, unfortunately both times in a car. Will have to try it on a bike.
You can’t fool me, that’s Cheddar Gorge! 😂
Been lucky enough to visit Yosemite & The Grand Canyon, you’re right, resembles both, the view very much like Glacier Point in Yosemite. Great tour video btw
👌👌👌👏👏👏
when did you do this tour , great hotel in Castelan thanks 👍🏍🏍
How is the ground clearance for alpine roads? I ride a sport tourer.
I just saw you posted a video on that 7h ago. Thank you
What a fantastic Gorge, I haven't done that one yet, it's on my wishlist now.
Great roads and scenery.
