    Well that has been an absolute great tour. Been with you every Saturday morning. Going to miss my cup of tea in bed watching these beautiful places. Don’t leave it too long before the next one.

      Agreed. That was my favourite of the tours, but watching it with a coffee whilst the sun comes up at the weekend, was very well timed 👍👍

      Superb series! Enjoyed every step of the way! Interesting to get your take on the B500. I planned to include it on my tour next year but have heard from various sources that the “fun Police” had strangled it somewhat! Perhaps I’ll stick to the roads on the periphery and those in the Vosges Mountains instead?
      Here’s to long summer days, mountain passes and twisty roads!

    Thanks for that Andy, really enjoyed this ‘Winging It’ tour.
    We are so lucky to have so many fabulous European countries on our motorbiking doorstep…..France, Italy and especially Switzerland are a real joy to explore on two wheels.
    My wife and I kept a ‘95 Wing at our place in the south of France and regularly rode some of the routes in this series.
    We even had our honeymoon in 2004 on the wing. We rode from St Tropez to the Gorge du Verdon, then onto part of the Route du Grande Alps up to Briancon and onto Stresa on Lake Maggiore where we then based ourselves for a week. We explored the whole of the lake on the bike and up to Ascona and Locarno at the Swiss top end and we also rode the Simpson pass later on in the trip.
    Then we headed south to Portofino on the Italian riviera, to Monte Carlo and then back to St Tropez.
    It was a fabulous 18 days, we only had one day of rain, that was in Stresa where we saw rain of biblical proportions and thankfully weren’t actually on the bike, we did get to utilise our wet weather gear to go out for lunch !
    I have a trip with some mates next May taking in some WW2 sites in France, Belgium and Luxembourg and then a tour taking in the coastal route around Brittany (they have some 1,700 miles of it).
    Wonderful scenery, great road surfaces and far less traffic than in the UK is a big draw, not to mention the architecture, food, wine, beer and people. Riding in Europe is always a pleasure.
    Looking forward to your next trip……..possibly more of Switzerland ?

    Like everyone else Andy, loved this series. All the elements of a tour video were spot on. Especially Carol’s contribution. She is fantastic on camera and I love how she gives HER opinions which often differ from yours.
    Looking forward to next year’s tours. Thank you.

    Can't understand why the tours aren't the most popular videos. I've enjoyed every bit of it. On long trips I've been a planner while leaving enough room to diverge from my initial plan. Going for the somewhat more affordable and still safe accommodations, I've seen sights that only the locals know about. Enjoyed the entire trip. Glad you ommitted the rain portion. 👍👍

    My wife and I did the B500 this September up from Zurich where we were visiting friends. We started in Koblenz on the German/Swiss border and went the whole way through pouring rain to Freiberg. Hated the route after reading so many comments about it. Boring, and trees - I know it was the Black Forest but, hey - trees. Once you’ve seen one forest……. Freiberg was an awful town with a waterfall, no less. We’d seen enough water so didn’t stop and the hotel looked like a knocking shop anyway so cancelled the booking and went on to Strasbourg where we stayed in the Gothenburg Hotel in the centre. Lovely hotel, thank goodness. So my experience of the B500? Won’t ever do it again. The B470 through Wales to Rhayader was, and is, still is my favourite.

    That’s a nice daily mileage.. the only negative from my Euro trip was days we planned that were too long.. one being 370 miles which knocked the fun out of it. 150 miles and allow more time is definitely a great tip

    Hi Andy,
    Thank you for this wonderful tour series. I simply love these motorcycle tours. You’ll see many places you’ve never been to or familiar places from a different perspective.
    We’ve had a fairly dry week (it was about time) until today but it was bloody cold (1-4°C) and windy.
    I had an ultrasound examination of my shoulder; results next week.
    Stay safe.

    Great tour and we were lucky with the Black Forest B500….pre-30 zones, great visibility and quiet roads. Thoroughly enjoyed watching your tour and post tour thoughts. Technical gear is great. Aiming for 150 miles a day is our ideal - relaxed, allows for interesting diversions/explorations, and you arrive with time to explore your destination - if it’s interesting we sometimes stay two nights.

    Well, another amazing trip comes to an end. Thank you so much for 'taking us' with you both. I thought the whole trip looked amazing, best part for me was Gorge du Verdon, that just looked superb. I always did my European trips, adhoc, but with certain places I would heac to, for perhaps 2 days. I never toured in main summer months though, for the exact reasons you explained, cost, availability of decent hotels with secure parking etc. All my European trips would be solo, which didn't bother me because I'd park up, refresh, and within 2 hrs chatting with fellow bikers or locals which I loved. Can't wait for more like this. Thank you once again.

    Really enjoyed the tour but it's pretty obvious that if you choose Switzerland as a destination then take out a second mortgage and definitely don't go in the summer. It seems the standard of European roads is so much better than ours but i suppose that's not difficult.

    What a fantastic series this has been - thank you to you both for sharing this trip with us all.
    I bet I'm not the only one who is sad to know that Saturday mornings will not be quite the same - until the next one of course (the fingers are firmly crossed for you!)
    Once I have my full licence I definitely have this sort of trip on my 'to-do' list.
    Like Mrs Flyer, I'm also a planner - sometimes to the nth degree, but if I can convince myself that a day in advance is long enough, then I'm excited to try a similar trip. It won't be a 'Winging It' tour - maybe a 'Tri It' tour - we'll have to see what the size of budget the accountant (Mrs) will allow.
