    Got to be honest guys, ive just come across these vids for ideas as my mate and I are planning Normandy this year if we can, they are the best videos out there, you have really added emotion and thought to these videos rather than, thats beautiful which is what a lot of bike vids are (nothing wrong with that) but Im only on Vid 4 cant wait toi watcht e rest, they are like mini films, the way you have added clips from history is just amazing... it really adds to the emotion and thought... well done guys well done

      Wow thank you for the comments. We really tried to make a different version of a Normandy tour as you said most are the same and we felt it really deserved full respect and something special. It honestly blew us away it was such an experience, we plan if all goes well to return July this year as we missed the Canadian beaches. Please feel free to share the video as we think it captures Normandy perfectly. Keep safe and keep us updated if you do manage to go 🏍❤️🤘🏻

    Cracking video that. Graignes was both interesting and sad to hear about. We visited Oradour-sur-Glane on our French trip where the Nazis massacred 643 civilians and destroyed the buildings. It still stands as it was left as a memorial. Hard to read about it when you're actually stood on the site where it happened isn't it.
    Very nice touch Alby, respect sir👍

I didn’t want the tour to be just about us on the bikes, the story and memories of Normandy are far greater than us on bikes so I wanted to make sure the stories got told. There’s still about another 4 episodes to come, thanks again for sparing the time to sit and watch ❤️🤘🏻

    Have to say you paid good respect to the veterans and all who fought and lost in life. It was nice to see many places and roads i have travelled in the Area, was due to be there when you where there but covid stopped that. I was to stop on the way back from the alps i stay near pont du hoc. My father was on the first wave of landing craft to land on Juno Beach he was a gunner in the Navy he lived till 95 in 2017 I scattered his ashes on the beach, so at least you took me there this year many thanks.

    Amazing video mate. Well done to all of you. This has inspired me to go to Arnhem because that's one of many places my Granddad went to during WW2. Luckily for him, he missed out on D-day even though he trained for it. Oddly enough he trained less than 1 mile away from where I live in Devon and none of my family live in Devon apart from me. I didn't find out until I saw the photos at his funeral.

    Absolutely fascinating video and really well put together! I've thoroughly enjoyed watching it. One (very minor) point though, the memorial that you've pictured at 39:27 isn't the memorial in Normandy, it's the memorial at Bois Jacques, near Foy in Belgium (you can tell by the names listed on it). Anyway, excellent vid, you've earned a new sub!

      We were very very lucky. It was when they very first allowed travel between uk, France, Germany and Spain, literally they allowed a few days before we went, we thought we was going to have to cancel. We were there for 5 days and when we got back they closed the borders within a few weeks as cases started rising again. Restrictions in France were nowhere near as draconian as they were in the uk.
