Loving this series Pooley, so glad I found it, fantastic Pooley
Brilliant, what an adventure Pooley
What a brilliant series this is pooley
Good video, bike sounds good, looks shiny from where I'm sitting A+
I live in Canada and we own the same bike. Its great to tour on in North America. We've had it for ten years. In 2023 we traveled to the UK picked up our motorcycle which we flew to Heathrow from Calgary, Canada. We rode from Heathrow visited Valance, France which was on our way south. It was a great area to ride. Thanks for sharing. We enjoyed your video. I also had 1000cc Kawasaki that I bought in the early 90's it is called a Concours over here. It's winter over here now we will have to wait for spring now. Enjoy riding. Hang on to your GTR 1400 they are real sleepers.
13:40 these speedbumps are designed to only slow down cars. Buses, trucks & tractors are not affected by them and can maintain their speed
Worked good, cheers! Needed penetrating fluid on the pin as that was stuck and brake clean on the pistons. Used a crowbar to back the pistons off for the new pads as they were pretty stiff lol.
I remember touring in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Monaco and Italy in the seventies with my girlfriend on the back of my GT550. We did not have intercom. We had nice and peaceful trips. This is a nightmare. Not a silent moment.
I enjoyed that series. You need to pull your finger out and get 2024's trip edited now.
I really did enjoy the tour-Thank you-see you on the road-stay safe.😀👍
Ey up And just like that, it’s all over 😢 Thanks for taking us along So, where to next? 🤔 Si thee
Great tour guys thanks fir taking us along looked forward to every vid ....so what arecwe going to watch now I hope you guys do other trips you guys are funny and it's so nice to see father and son riding together I am doing a vid next week as myself and my son and a few friends are doing a rally here in New Zealand cheers guys
Loved the series, looking forward to the next one.
Cracking series gents, thanks for posting. Ride safe.
Brilliant series. Thank you Pooley and Mr Pooley Srn sir, for taking us along on your adventure. Dunno what I am going to do for random pop quiz, 80's advert and weather related banter... go back to talking to myself I guess.
A great adventure and it looks like the rain was kept at bay for the last day. I look forward to the next one.
I've loved every video and the banter. Thanks
Thank you for sharing.
Damm, no rain !!!! It makes such a huge difference when the weather is nice. I am a top box convert as well, they are a revelation.
What a difference a bit of dry weather makes. The sun comes out and you two are off on a major banter-fest. Talking about being wet... Gone! Looking for somewhere to stop... Gone! Complaining about wind generators... Gone! All replaced by any amount / amaaant of random nonsense.... love it.
Ey up I’m amazed you both stuck with it and completed this tour having been soaked on a daily basis. Personally, I think I would have returned home on the third day if I’d have woke up and it was raining again Si thee
moulin à vent vert .... green windmill 😁
Did you get a nice sausage in your mouth?
I love that your default comparison for almost anywhere in Europe is Nottingham. 🤣 I worked for a company based in Nottingham for a few years, so I know exactly where you are coming from. Verte is the French for green. We have a local scrap man who calls for scrap using a microphone and loudspeaker. Most of what he says is lost on me but I always get his long drawn out version of 'old iron', which in his case is pronounced "oooolllld iiiii onnnn". He's a sound guy too and took away a massive old heat exchanger unit from a heating system my late Father in Law installed in his house in 1966! Damn thing took several full sized gorilla's to lift, but the rag'n'bone man and his mate soon had it gone.👍
Made it to the station... just! 👌
Now that you've solved the problem of recycling bins, I can't wait to find out what problem you fix next 😂
You can wear the same underpants multiple days. Turn it inside out, then back to front, then back to front inside in 👌
Something my dad would say! 🤣
@@Pooley650 great minds think alike 😉
Watching this in August 2024 as I may be heading that way next week (depending on weather forecast). Looks epic!
I don't think the weather on this trip will ever be topped, absolutely fantastic for the entire tour! Hopefully your plans go ahead 😊
I've watched every episode of this tour and somehow, this one is different to all the others.... rural roads, little towns, petrol, needing a wee (one of you always does).... nope, I just can't quite put my finger on it.
Maybe it's that big yellow thing in the sky 🤣 Not much left now Neil but your support to our videos is very much appreciated 😁
Bloody hell gents no rain...............finally some nice riding with out thinking your gonna go for a slide.
It's horrible isn't it and does spoil the fun when your having to really concentrate on not having a spill. Luckily, no more rain! Thanks for watching 😊
The AD-Blue pump would do the mighty Deauville no good at all 😝
Oh good job I didn't risk that then 😳🤣
Ey up And now the sun comes out 😱 Si thee
About flipping time, aye!
Did your dad actually say the trees were from a Tree Farm? Oh dear that so reminds me of..... me, when I just can't find the right word in my head.... old timers disease.
To be fair us Midlander's aren't renowned for our vocabulary prowess but at least we know what he was on about! Thanks for watching as always Neil!
dad terrified of steering his bike 🤣
His reflexes aren't quite what they used to be with his advanced age 😉🤣 Thanks for watching!
I think it's 50/50 on the blame game for the slit up 🤔🤔
I was willing to take all the blame but I'll take that! Would be criminal not to have included it just for a laugh 😃
I got rained on at that exact belgian dual carriageway about 9 mins in when I went to Germany two weeks ago! Some of those roads had such horrendous bumps it knocked my cruise control off... Ardennes roads were amazing though through the twists.
Nothing worse than bad weather, and in this case, bad roads... hopefully no one does a rain dance next time we hit the road! Thanks for watching 😁
If you could have found an open cafe, you could have ordered a "tea...Earl Grey... HOT!"
And a waffle at that! Next time we go away I will be sure to stop at the café's he says look open to avoid disappointment 😆 Thanks for watching!
Ey up More wet weather, you’ll both remember this trip as “the one that rained every day” Have you managed to dry out yet 😂 Si thee
Just wait till the other Euro trip I did last year comes out... 😳 Si thee mush 😉
That looked like nice digs at the end
Like me dad said it was like something out of Hansel and Gretel. Bizarre but memorable lodgings indeed 😊
Flippin'eck I have a lot of catching up to do...
There is that many that we don't expect anyone to watch them all!
you lads need some michelin road 6s. can ride in the rain like it's dry, never had a moment on roads way tighter than what you were on!
Yes the road 6's really are fantastic, I'm on my second set now since this trip 😃 I think it was the road 5's fitted for this tour and I still think they're great in the wet and actually got more out the rear than I did the road 6's, although that could be down to how hard I pushed them on consequent trips, even in the wet 😆 My dad's still on the same set of 'budget' Avon donuts but I plan on having these worn through by the end of our next road trip planned in a few weeks... Thanks for watching as always!
Ey up What sort of accommodation were you staying in, shame you never shared it with us, or was it that bad 🤫 Have you checked your toes since you returned, with all that water I’m sure you got skin growing between them 🦆 Si thee
The digs I managed to book actually turned out to be quite good in the end given they were booked about a week in advance with little to no research. Most of them were private B&B's or little hotels with the exception of the one near Möhne which was a chain motel which even still was more than pleasant. On our next road trip I'll make sure we film some behind the scenes which should be a laugh I'm sure 😉 Also I did wonder why I was suddenly so good at swimming 🤣 Thanks for watching!
Best roads on my trip last week were in Lux. Defo going back next year.
The next few episodes are northern Luxembourg but we didn't hang about as we was on a tight schedule with no motorway involved. Lovely roads for sure 😁 Thanks for watching!
You rename the tour rainyriding in boxland😮
Note to self; don't tour western Europe in April ever again 🤣🌧 Thanks for watching!
I have to say gents if you where ever nervous of riding in the rain this trip certainly will have suppressed that fear.
My dad's #1 least favourite thing in the whole world is riding motorbikes in the rain, he was a trooper during this indeed. Thanks for watching and hope you tune in for the rest of the series! 😁
Static electricity in the atmosphere can severely limit radio comms. It's very hard to send a tiny little electromagnetic signal through a massive amount of electromagnetic activity. I was wincing at that storm and could almost feel the wind blasting you about. It was a bit of a surprise to look out the window and see a sunny evening! Can't beat a nice bit of Kraftwerk!
It's funny because when my last Europe series was coming out it was always raining outside and now it seems the other way round! I knew the weather would have had something to do with the comms 😉 Thanks for watching as always Neil always appreciate it!
Ey up This is going to be known from this day forward as the “German Rain Tour” Must say your Cardo has worked well in all this wetness, not sure my Sena would have Si thee
Every tour after this is going to have the word rain before it I think lol 🤣 We managed to go through a total of 4 Sena units in only Peak District rain so they would have no doubt succumbed to what Germany had in store...
Whatever rain dance you did before leaving on tour, it certainly worked☔
I must have done the rain dance on every trip I've done since in that case because this is nothing compared to some of the series to come! 😖
I thought I was listening to Kraftwerk at the beginning (your dad will remember) Flipping heck, it rained. I wonder if your tyres would insulate you enough to save you if you had a full-on lightning strike?
Oh we have had plenty of Kraftwerk singalongs up until this point 😁 also not sure if tyres would save you and I don't fancy hanging about in weather like that to find out! You know all about the delights of rain like this especially after your most recent excursion I'm sure. Thanks for watching Richard 😊
