Hiya, love my Goose, had it 4 years and many adventures. 2 improvements for me. 1 -I put an inflatable (thin) mat underneath the sleeping bag - not necessary but I'm an old git so just that little bit more comfy 2 - use a tarp - its just a Vango not specific to Goose but does the job (not in gales thoughj!). Its made a great difference as its created an external porch which in wet weather is a godsend - able to cook and more importantly roll in and out while staying dry - been a real boon. In dry weather not needed but comes into its own in the wet. Another subscriber gets much the same effect see CharlesDaleActor using external poles - ingenious but I prefer my cover to come across the bike...limits storage but keeps bike dryish. Sure there are many more permutations, a month In France in September, will explore! Like your review, straight to the point. Cheers

Hi from northeast England Matt 👋 Thanks for showing us all these interesting places. Totally agree with you on the motorcycle travel bug. I travelled solo from Newcastle upon Tyne to St Moritz & back on my ZZR last month & will spend the winter looking forward to my next adventure. Keep up the good work buddy! 😉👍

The ark of the covenant is buried in Jerusalem.

Nice interesting video, thanks for posting

I did 2 3500mile tours around Europe on a 883R, got a tall sissy bar and strapped a bag to it . Mine had forward controls which made it comfortable on the legs but meant you need a good seat as more weight on your backside. I had slip on pipes and a S&S air filter, once it was tuned improved the ride no end. Fuel injection is better for riding in the mountains (alps) as it adjusts the mix automatically, carbs need adjustment or run rough in my experience at altitude. I doubt you'll regret buying a sporty! 👍

I had heard of Glastonbury in relation to the music festival, but was not aware of all the other history. Yet another place to visit on my next trip to the UK!

I read Glastonbury and thought aha..., then I saw you on Thundy and wondered, where is then the Drum kit? Second thought..., OK, Liliane is bringing it in the car, but even that turned out negative! ..., and then the realisation and momentary disappointment of no special apperance on the centre stage at the Music Festival. Instead, we got treated to a really enjoyable visit to a place that i'd always thought was just the name giver for the world famous music party. Thanks for yet another good and interesting video, as well as correcting my false perceptions! Also congrats on getting to grips with your audio issues of the past. I'm sure I enjoyed watching this just as much as you apparently did, living it out with the next gen., and your "future biker lady"?

Beautiful place 👍 On my list now 😊 Btw, went out this week to look at and check out some bikes… like you I also have had this Sportster itch…. I’m cured…was able to compare a Sportster with an Indian Scout and Scout bobber…. the Indian won on all points… such a smooth and easy to handle and nimble bike … the sportster felt like a real heavy and lumpy thing compared to the Indian …. for me definitely no Sportster …. if you have the chance to compare them then definitely do so 😊

The last time we visited Bristol we intended to visit Glastonbury too. But after visiting Cardiff and Stonehenge/ Salisbury and Bath we ran out of time. Glastonbury will be on the top of our list next trip. 😎👍

Thank you very much for the magical tour. it's like seeing a harry potter movie. 😀

Hi nice video and chat (not many people want deep conversations) I’m 55, in my early /mid 40s I cleared my mind of all the nonsense I had taken in over the years and decided to become my true self my politics were turned on their head and my prejudices were removed from all thoughts. At 48 I became fully vegan (fished most of my life even owned rifles ) Theirs nothing better than being nice to all without constant contradiction. Never been away from bikes since young teenager but stopped with the fast ones when children came along then off road/enduro then scooters and now back with a big road bike finally! Bristol based myself Cheers

If you've got your heart set on a bike, don't let anyone talk you out of it!

I lived in portishead, pill and finally nailsea before moving back to wales. I remember when the mardyke pub was a huge biker hangout.

Cracking video Matt. We all know road trips are wonderful things. Buy the Harley, enjoy it. We regret the things we don't do. Good summer buddy

Loving your videos👍you know we are biased because we live our 883, but go get one quick!! We have loved travelling to Turkey on ours and exploring Turkey too...soon its time for the next adventure! We are riding back in just over a week. We are sad to be leaving Turkey after 3 months but we have lots of content for our channel. We hope to meet up with you when we get back, maybe you will have purchased your dream Sporty by then!!! 😂 Ride safe!

‘Tin-ters-field’???? It’s pronounced ‘Tints-field’!

Great video , we are heading back in 9 days . Looking forward to seeing your Harley 😊 sounds like you are on the cusp of getting one ( bloody good choice in my opinion 😊😊👍👍)

I completely agree! I spend most days wishing, planning itching to get of somewhere. As for the Harley................

Hi, you are, in my opinion, correct About motocycle touring. My motocycle touring abroad started in the late 60s Even when I was on a world cruise in 2001, I kept thinking I wish I was on my motocycle.

A long trip does not mess up me head. nor does a Harley. but the SWM Stormbreaker did mess up me head alot. 😲 Thank you very much for your thoughts and video 😀

I was a late comer to biking; got my first bike (around 2007) at about age 47 I think , it was a 1999 Sporster and my god, the confidence that bike gave me after only two and a half hours riding was huge. In fact, if I’d had the cash I would have gone back into HD and bought an ultra glide the next day. Really nice bikes but of course not for everyone. Stay safe

Go for a Meridan Bonneville to get your hands on experience.

My advice. As a long-time lover of any brand. It has to pass the chair test. Bring a folding chair with you, and park it away from the bike. You have to love looking at it from that position, i mean, really love looking at it.. Not on it or standing next to it. Where it brings a wide grin on your face. Remember, you have to live with it.

Greatvideo. Makes me want to go too

I'm just planning my next tour after having been 3 days in the Black Forest last month. If I ride out on any given day, east of where I live, for a couple hours, and the ride back (towards west) is going well and the weather is fine, i'll often think, "why can I not carry on till I reach Calais"? It's been so many years since I last rode in England, so that is what i'm planning right now. I 've found a Calais/Dover ferry crossing for just £42, so that just has to be taken advantage of! Yep, I get'cha on the Sportster argument, I was one of those who also said "NO", when you first mentioned it but i've had 2nd thoughts. They say, "where there's a will, there is a way" I mean, look at Iggs'n'Mort doing their journey (who you were definately referring to), going not just sooo far on a Sporty, but doing it two-up on a 883. So go do it Matt, bugger the others!! If I ever had a Sporty again, it would defo be the 883R, I borrowed one for a half day some years ago, loved it. Hey, this was a short but sweet journey, that you took us on, annd in a corner of the country that I hardly know, despite growing up in the south. I bet that beautiful "little" Pier is grade-listed? I say little coz I was used to the Brighton Pier growing up, somewhat bigger than here, but then again, Brighton was never built with a Ferry in mind, as was Clevedon not designed for Amusement arcades! The little chat you had with us on the beach was most enjoyable. It's always interesting to listen to your thoughts and life experiences, spoken with your easy listening voice. Every time we see that narrow squeeze along the side of ya house, I think, " next time, I must look how scratched his wing mirrors are..., but I always forget! Thanks, a good video..., yet again!

Is bike parking free on the seafront?

Yes. My head is completely messed up like that. And touring on my somewhat less than ordinary touring bike. An R nineT urban GS.

I think thats 100% natural feeling. I think any trip, big or small makes you long for more. The bigger the trip though, the stronger the thoughts of just wanting to jump straight back out and do it all again. Personally i really enjoy the planning side of a trip too, so for me its the whole build up to execution as well. Then when youre done and back... Youre left almost empty because you couldve been planning that trip for months in reality. Good video and topic.

I get you Matt I recently did a 5 day ride around France and Belgium and now I keep thinking of where I need to go next. As for a second bike yep I got that in my head too......

Look forward to some new content. Life gets in the way. Dont worry people will wait.

should that not read Glasto, rather than Valley Fest !!

Motorbiking in Norway is supposed to be something special. It’s on the list to be sure! There used to be direct ferries from the UK to Denmark and before that Gothenburg. Sad that they’ve stopped.

Great video Matt

Hi,when your not in a hurry an alternative route I take from Brizzle is; Chepstow old Bridge and head towards the racecourse. The B4235 at the Spar to Usk ( nice road) Take a right in Usk high street on the B4598 (Abergavenny Rd) At the Green Chain Bridge,go over and take the small road ( Chain Bridge Rd) and just keep going straight until the A4042.Turn left and the caff's a few metre up.Safe riding Richard (Brizzle Honda 500 cbx ) PS sometimes there is a police speed van on the B4598 as you head out of Usk l/h side where there are open fields and before the 50

It sounded like Welsh that you were speaking to with Lilian.

Great visit to the Baffle Haus. Looks ace. And what a friendly bunch. I wonder if there's anything similar around Manchester.

Very nice words/advice at the end about mental heath! Cheers from a fellow Triumph rider.

Oh, I missed ya, usually like to watch your vids when they're still warm, after their upload...! Now somebody else I follow has also been here, can't remember who, but it's defo a place I would like to visit. How far is it from Bristol? Had to smile when you showed off your language skills...😂.

good stuff, mate.

I just bought a new GoPro 10. I hope I haven’t made a mistake. 😅 I want to use it trouble free on my Thunderbird as well as on my jetski.

That looks like an amazing place! Unless I’m mistaken, that was a real Harley XR750, one of the coolest bikes ever built. And then that CBX on top of it! When I make it over to the UK again, that will be on my list of places to visit. I was super impressed with your Norwegian! To my untrained ear, it sounds like you’re 100% fluent. Really enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing it.

I've never been there, no excuses!!! Love the 5 minute MH Tips. Sat in the car at Cribbs now as just had to get out of there as sooooo busy. So perfect timing for your MH Tips. For me it's riding a bike, no idea why it's so good for me. But I deffo do that thing of going down a rabbit hole in my head, and it's always negative thoughts 🤷🏻

Nice ride out Matt, thanks for taking us along. I just love all the different styles of bikes us UK riders enjoy. Ride safe, thanks for posting.

I’m a Northumbrian, could basically understand your Norwegian

Tbh I probably would have watched you tidying the kitchen if you'd had a chin mount and an Insta 360. So there's a challenge for you.

I absolutely love hearing you speak Norwegian! That was wonderful! Great video as always. I hope you ride through Norway soon! Let me know, I'd love to show you around my part of Norway 🙂

My local hangout

Cykel tur. what a great lie 😅😂🤣 is it not a Motorcykel tur 😛 By the way. look up SWM Stormbreaker V1200. cost alot less than a Harley 👍 Thank you very much for another road trip 😀

Really enjoyed that mate. Looks like a great little place. Keep up the good work 👍

Brilliant vlog man, reminds me of driving to Cornwall seeing the big bridge in Bristol. Ride safe bud
