What a start: spanish border control "bonjour and merci" 🙂
I know 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m going to the Pyrenees for my 3rd time at the end of this month, from Italy. Looking forward to exploring the Atlantic portion north of Pamplona, last 2 times I mostly rode in the bottom half.
Ah exciting. Hope you have the best weather. We had on that trip a couple of days later so Day 2, 3, 4 will have some spectacular scenery. Have a great trip mate and ride safe. Cheers. Billy
Definately on my bucket list, thanks for sharing
You won't be disappointed. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Billy
What a first day. Looking forward to part 2 🙂
I agree re the top boxes, so handy, but I prefer soft luggage on my Tuareg
Hi mate. Thanks for watching and your comments. Day 2 coming this week with 3 other so to follow that. Rain, snow and sunny skies to come. On my Tenere i will stick to soft luggage but for touring on road with the GSA hard cases, I am a convert, i never thought I would be. Cheers. Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures I had hard cases on my previous Moto Guzzi V85TT and loved them, so useful during c19 for "shopping" trips on the bike
Jaca is a wonderful place lots of eating and drinking places and your only a few kms away from the N260. This is always our first stop off be fore the trans Pyrenees N260 remember to stay on the old road and enjoy the Grotto.😊👍
Hi mate, thanks for watching! Totally agree, a great place for a stop over. Met some other riders and was a super night. We did ride the N260 for part of the trip and it did not disappoint. My mate I was riding with said it was the best road he had ridden and he has done some of the spectacular Swiss roads and passes, so praise indeed. Cheers Billy
Nice been a while since I’ve watched your stuff
Your definitely getting busier on u tube
Thanks for watching Neil. Hope you doing good cheers. Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventuresall good matey just no riding unfortunately lost the passion for it at mo
It gets like that sometimes. Hope the bug comes back mate 🙌
Why did you say Bonjour to the Spanish border guard?😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I know, what a muppet I am 😂😂😂😂
😂😂 It's Buenos dias. And Mucho gracias 😂😂😂
I think for a guided tour you will need to do less motorway/main roads & concentrate on the twistier ones 😁😁😁
Day 1 is a little bit motorway heavy but the other 4 days were awesome. Tour will be about roads as well as destinations/landscape. Twisties yes but not interested in a to b in the fastest time. Not for everyone but enjoying the road as much as the destination and landscape is important to me. That is the experience I want to share thanks for watching and your comments. Cheers. Billy
@@BillysBikeAdventures Subscribed last night, got the ferry booked again for next June, done most of the roads in the Pyrenees over the years but taking new guys with me so should be exciting. Keep the videos coming. Cheers
awesome mate pitty about your change of plans hopefully all did go well catching it up looking forward to your next episode 👍

Hi Steven. We ended up not changing plans a pressing on. The weather, mostly was pretty good. When are you off on your trip (is this still solo?)
Hi mate yes still solo prob leaving on 7th Aug all going well and getting home from work on time 🕰️ 👌👍
A bit disappointed that all the nice places aren't mentioned by name during the ride.
Hi Tony. I understand but I am planning a paid tour there for riders next year for those that want to come. I spent a lot of time researching an amazing trip so am looking at ways to make my gpx files for trips such as these available for purchase as well. Thanks for watching. Billy
Which port did you arrive at and speak French to a Spaniard, at least he didnt correct you so means he probably hears this often lol, i ask bc Bilbao to Jaca is around 3 hours normally
I know, totally forgot that we were landing in Spain ha ha. He was very polite lol. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Billy
Why were you speaking French to the customs?
Ha ha, forgot which country I had just docked in lol
😂
