Riding the Vosges, German wine and beers in Rochefort. Alps Motorcycle Tour Part 11

The final part of the series! We leave Germany after watching Manfred making more wine and ride over Col Du Grand Balon in the Vosges. We camp once again at Gerardmer before a night in Rocheford for Belgian beer and then the ferry home.
Big thanks to everyone who's watched the series and supported the channel

Brilliant Mike, thanks for taking us along again 👌

[@yodagoat]

Thanks for following the journey. Comments like yours mean so much to me

[@richandiben]

@@yodagoat been watching since the "escaping lockdown" video, love your story telling and music choices.

[@hughferrier5837]

Hello again Mike. That's another trip over and thanks for taking us along with you. I've really enjoyed your films and feel a bit low now there are no more to look forward to. Thanks again for all the hard work both filming and then editing. HughJ

[@yodagoat]

Thanks Hugh. I'm so greatful for the positive comments you leave. It really means a lot.

[@robm878]

Absolutely flipping brilliant Mike! Enjoyed every minute of the series, you and the boys had an epic adventure. I’m fired up for my Spanish trip in May!

[@yodagoat]

Thanks man. Let me know how your trip goes and anywh good you visit. I've not done Spain at all as yet, although I'm due to visit Tenerife soon.

[@frankboff8185]

Great series of videos, really enjoyed them, some good tunes on them as well, thanks for sharing.

[@yodagoat]

Thanks Frank. I'm glad you enjoyed the series.

My mum told me of our Great Grandfather in Ireland ,he stilled the Poitin /Hooch .🥃Slainte .

[@yodagoat]

Ha ha! Maybe where I get the taste for home brewing Robert! 😂

[@richardjohnson3463]

Sorry it's over Mike, brilliant trip, thanks for all the videos

[@yodagoat]

Thanks for following Richard!

[@NotNowCato1254]

Thoroughly enjoyed that series, Mike. Took me back to 2014 - did the route des grande alpes from Menton up to Geneva. Braw! Amazing scenery and roads, great craic and good use of music as usual. Cheers! 👏

[@yodagoat]

Thanks for following the series!

[@markc1967]

Just loved this tour series. We will be following a similar path this June. Ride safe 👍

[@yodagoat]

Thanks, I really hope you enjoy your trip. It's an absolutely phenomenal place to ride!

[@andywozza2079]

Brilliant work Mike 😊 I've enjoyed the ride , nice one boys ,happy days till the next adventure 😀 👍 🤟🤟

[@yodagoat]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I've got plans already for the next adventure! It won't be on quite the same size bikes though. 😂

[@fergstallion9029]

Really enjoyed this series. I didn't get the editing style at the beginning but as the series went on it made total sense. Show as much as you can and make it clear how simple it is to do (and how awesome it is too). Amazing scenery and roads. It's definitely made me want to get over. Good job bud 👍

[@yodagoat]

Cheers yo! I try and keep editing as simple as possible to be honest. I do fancy getting a new camera or maybe a drone. I reckon the camera would make the most sense.

[@bryanrobertson1298]

Hi, really enjoyed your trip. Great bike coverage and your socialising was funny.

[@yodagoat]

Thanks Bryan. I'm really happy that you enjoyed the series.

[@bryanrobertson1298]

A quick question please. You've got minimal music on your series, have you ever been contacted by UA-cam re copywrite. This is stopping me from adding anything.

[@yodagoat]

I either can't monetise the videos with music or I buy the licence to use it through Lickd.

[@bryanrobertson1298]

Thanks

[@gruff8491]

Brilliant , i watched all 11 parts over 2 nights and footage and the crack was great . i,ve done some of the roots you did and the rest i noted
for this year . some great ideas . Also used the newcastle - amsterdam ferry over the last 3 years ( live in cumbria ) , but prices have shot up
for 2024 so its the trudge down to the Eurotunnel for me this year.
PS I,m with smiler ! the Susten pass is my fav aswel Cheers again Mike .

[@yodagoat]

Thanks Gruff!

[@Karl3642]

What a top adventure, and thanks so much for sharing it all with us. 👍 Never really got the naming of bikes and referring to them in the feminine myself. That said, I do call my Super Cub The Cublet (fuck knows why), and my Scram gets called The Scruff after my wife forgot its name and called it that one day. Everything else gets called what it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️
What’s up next on Mike TV, the Monkey ? Whatever it is I will look forward to it mate 😊👍.

[@yodagoat]

I've got a few daft vloggy type videos in the pipeline, hopefully a bike review and maybe some bike and cooking stuff! 😂

[@staryjanek]

Ah you got rid of the K75 ?

[@yodagoat]

I did John. Time for new things but I'll not say no to another if the right bike comes along. Time for adventures on a different bike for now though.

[@staryjanek]

Aye, that's lovely machine you got there now, I still got my old K75, cause I'm old and silly :)@@yodagoat
