Kate. All I can say is, you’re mum and dad, I’m sure will be so proud of you and your sister. You are two fine well brought up women.
Hi ya, here my top tip... carry a clothes peg, or two, when taking the ferry (or for parking tickets), to peg these "very important" papers to the screen or mirror etc. I always have one in my m/c jacket pocket anyway! You're welcome. Good to see the UNGirls back in action..., oh and Happy New Year to ya both.
In Belgium you are allowed to park a motorcycle on the sidewalk, if their is 1.2 metres left of free space for the pedestrians. It is one of the many reasons i ride.
I love these sister trips that you to do, so good to se Hanna, who barely looked at the camera the first video, and now is filming commenting and having fun on camera. Beautiful hotel and room you are in also. Looing forward to the rest. Keep up the great work! 😊😊
What a start to the new year with Kate & Hannah.
It's always quite interesting when your sister does take you along for hotel reviews.
Enjoy the luxuries and as always take care 'n ride safe.
It's awesome, she gets to do all the writey bits and I get to do all the relaxing bits haha
Kate..i went to Bruges 5 yrs ago.
Old medieval town..
Was amazin, steeped in history.
So much to see..
🍻😊
UsernameSis returns - finally! HNY🎉👍
I've literally been considering this exact route so I'm very glad to find this vid 🎉
the banter you both share on these things bring s the biggest smile to my face its nice and fun to see something like this on a review channel i wish i was like this with my family you are both really amazing people and i just wantto say Thank you
Thank you for taking us with you. What a beautiful video. We loved every part of it!
Big respect, much love, and all the fun of adventures 🎉
New Year's blessings to you and your beloveds ❤
Good to see two Kate in one frame, good good:)
The wife and I went to Bruges for the Christmas markets. What a magical place I loved every minute of our stay. Also struck me as a very safe place; there was a brand new GS parked outside of our hotel without any locks/ extra security.
Wow, lovely Video and such a lovely tour of Bruges. Thanks Kate. You bothe are awesome 😎 Love the hotel too! - No Creme Brulé though 😅 😇
Hi Kate & Hanna, I have to agree with you, such a beautiful city Bruges. 👍 But that hotel room 😮, I thought maybe Bridgerton vs London. Can’t wait for next upload. Happy New Year to you both
Hey Pete, the next room in Sundays episode is Moroccan inspired! :)
Such a gorgeous city. It recharged my soul :)
Kate, I know Hannah is your sister but you two are so good together….so funny. Love these types of vlogs.
So glad you liked the vlog Gaz :)
Enjoy your time in belgium! greetings from a fellow red cbr650r belgian rider.
Another beautiful city, thanks for sharing Kate,sis is natural on video as well😊👍
Must be nice. UsernameSis scores some pretty nice digs! Bruges is gorgeous. I haven't seen it in 40 years.
Belginiun...love it !! 😊 Happy New Year, Kate, and the lovely Hannah.
Technical term Alan 🤣🤣🤣
New language Alan LOL
I love Bruges. Fantastic place to visit. Can’t wait to go back. That looks a great hotel too.
this was such a cool adventure to be here for. Thank you for bringing us all along!
We walked those same streets a few weeks ago. Stunning place.
Funny that Guns n' Roses was playing in the restaurant after you were singing a different GnR song to yourself on the way there. Also, what an awesome trip. Riding through the historic center of the city (am I supposed to be here?) looked like a surreal adventure.
Amazing commentary, mesmerizing city, and a sweetheart of a sis!
Happy New Year, Username! The CBR is my favorite bike.
Keep up the great work Kate! Enjoy your MotoVLOG’s!
Fair play you’re full of confidence travelling,
When I was in my 20s and 30s , I’d travel anywhere, these days my age is a major factor I don’t feel that I could cope, lovely place your staying at 😊
I owned the 2022 CBR650R. Even coming from a ZX10R, I I still say the CBR650R is the best middle sized sport bike on the market. I had mine on track days (Do Not go to a track day on the Dunlop D214 OEM tires. Yikes!) I did loads of 6+ hours straight riding and no other bike could out ride me in the twisties. That bike is such a treat to ride. I don't think the E-cluch is worth it, but the bike itself is flawless. ❤❤👏👏
Ill take tuono 660 all day
But that honda is a sweetass bike
Bruges is my favorite little place in the world. The town square, canals, bike paths. Actually, it was just such a nice surprise during a trip through Europe, I went back specifically to hang there for a day. Hansa hotel, if memory serves, was this beautiful little extravagance. Good times. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
Great video Kate love the confidence and possitivity. Looks a lovely place to stay.
Amazing video. I live in Bruges. So beautiful to see it on film…. I forgot how stunning my city is ❤.
You passed my house and black vespa after exiting the restaurant. Must have been filmed a couple of weeks ago though… Xmas-marked is not there yet… grtz
I think this was back in October 😊 and what a small world!! 🌎
@ hope you had a good time 😇. Love your channel.
🫶
The dynamic duo back on the streets again, how disappointing that crème brûlée looked so good my favorite to eat at anytime. Looking forward to seeing more of the town.
Thanks Kate,riding & staying there in March!
Wooo hooo🎉 Sisters Vlog!!!! LFG!!!!!!! Good morning Kate!🤩
Oh and first!
😜
Haha, are you allowed to say first these days? LOL
😂😂😂 FiiiiiiirrrrrrrrsssssssstttTAH!
And don’t forget the cookie 🍪😂
Great Vlog . Northern sisters on tour 😊. Happy New year 🎉
All those different sweet bikes to ride, you're living the dream !
Kate that was great happy new year 😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻
I remember riding that road beteen Calais and Bruges when you had to stop for customs at the France/Belgium border. Nowadays if you blink you miss the point where you go from one country to the other.
To display the ticket on the bike I always keep a clothes peg or bulldog clip handy, then attach it to the windscreen 👍
Loved this Kate. Just brilliant 😊😊😊
Part 2 dropping in 10 mins!
@ sign me up buttercup. I’m down for that.
Looks like a lovely place. Looking forward to part 2. Who needs bike content when you can go for a walk with two pretty girls?
I agree, one on each arm. That was such a welcome change. I have never been to Belgium but I now want to.
Great little trip there, Bruges looks like a nice weekend away, and good to see you and Hannah back together. that’s some swanky hotel there too, bit different to some of those I’ve been in on tour😮…it smells of rich people”😂😂🤣
Bruges is WONDERFUL.
It's great seeing your sister again. Great content.
Great trip Kate, next time your over that way try a stay in Gent if you've not been. A bit less touristy than Bruges, but still has a lovely old town with plenty going on.
I went to Ghent on my Royal Enfield ride with Lillie and Wren - also a beautiful place 😊
@ ah sorry I missed that video!
Don't worry, I can't keep up with what I post 🤣
re your train ticket, carry a wooden spunrg cloths peg in your pocket & peg it to your screen. Its an easy way of spotting old codgers like me in the line waiting to board too 🙂
Anyway, another great video Kate & your sister has a great job, if your still over there & like spirits try of the Belgian Gin called Jenever, very nice...enjoy!
Most of the ferries now pop sellotape on the stickers for motorcycles now. Shame the euro tunnel don’t.
I really like that jacket, Oxford are doing nice "Normal" bike gear, I've got their combats that I wear into work in the warmer months, cuts ouf the faff of having to change! That jacket looks perfect for a night out as well as a trip to Bruges!
Love Bruges and love you guys.
Another great video , Belgium is one of my go to places , love bruges
Hi Kate. I'd suggest that you carry a couple of foldback clips in your pocket. Massively handy for ferry passes, toll tickets etc. 👍🏻
Welcome to Belgium!!🎉
Lovely city. Belgian chips are the best in the world. Lovely room, too.
Cbr 650 super look with u kate u and sis has great bounding she don't like bikes may everytime car i miss her fun 😊😊😊
Want to plan/do some ride through Belgium as well. There's a lot of interesting places to see and visit.
Also Hannah's job must be so cool, diverse and fun! Get to see all nice places.
The behavior of the women in the restaurant wasn't really hospitable in my past experiences being a waiter. 😆Wth. 😂
Enjoy the time you both! Looking forward seeing more as always!
What a quaint place, bit of a pig to find, I'd have got well lost there 😆! Good to watch though, roll on spring and I'll be out myself,😊👍
Would be easy with a visual aid haha but clip on handlebars don't have a lot of space 🤣
Hello kate
Nice to see you in your Vlogs i,m ❤❤❤watching from Philippines
I really like this Honda and enjoy you and your sister video
Oh, you're right. I feel the low temperature.Today I had to go to the Pharmacy to get my medics. I did it on my triumph trident 660, cause some times you don't find a parking place in front of it. It was sooo, no soooooo fresh.😁 You should spend more time with your sister. Cause time is everthing we got to give to others. It has sooo much worth.👍
I spent tonnes of time with her don't worry, I just don't vlog it all 😁
Great start to the NY. Thanks guys. Great video.
NEW YORK ? she was on Europe
@michaelfraser5723 New Year
Hi Kate Nice tour video.Happy New Year 🎇 to you and to your Sister 🎉
Happy new year Kate and sis 👍
Happy New Year to you too! :)
Lol, you at French customs in Folkestone, I love that train, have used it a few times myself in cars. It reminded me of the Severn bridge crossing to Wales. Lane 11 was set aside for motorcycles with cones to narrow it down but bikes are free. One day I went through at about 100, the next time I went through a year or two it had been converted into a chicane of cones and I had to slow down to 40 to get through, am I a bad person
Loved the vid Kate... Bike or car, Bruges will be on my travel list for this year... Living in Essex, it is close enough for me to do in a few days.
Also, I need to get used to riding/driving on the other side of the road before planning bigger trips!
Looks a amazing place to vist but some of the streets look very narrow
Think their review is on the restaurant's website, dated December 13th? If not, it's not their first rodeo because it speaks for itself.
Unfortunately, Bruges has many 'tourist trap' restaurants where it only matters with how many you come and how much you spend. Also the reason why they accepted walk-ins, only because they are hoping to get reservations for bigger groups in meantime.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed your stay!
Remember: anywhere in Belgium (except Brussels), you can park your motorcycle on every sidewalk free of charge! On the condition there's enough room for passerby's.
Pretty good job, on the Guns ‘n Roses song. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi from the iom, are started watching the video because i have a similar bike "without" the e' clutch. Belgium looks lovely.
Brilliant vid
Appreciate that!
Feliz año nuevo 🥳🎄
Love Bruges. Nice vlog. I miss frites and fruity beers in the sun next to the belfry.
Wow! I have to go there. Ur sister is cool.
OMG Kate, I am from Brugge as well, If I knew you were here, I'd come to say hi.
That is only about 60km from my home. Great video and I hope you are enjoying your stay in Belgium.
Again, Happy New Year! Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
And your sister seems a sweetheart too. Cheers.
WOW! Bruges looks like a fabulous place ☺. And, made all the more entertaining by the arrival of the Ralph girls. Seriously Kate it looks like a fabulous place to visit also, the hotel you two are staying in doesn't look to shabby 🤣. I'm definitely looking forward to the next instalment, will it be Waffles and of course Belgian chocolate? Lol.
Oh of course!!
Hi Kate. That was a lovely video , can you tell me what helmet you are wearing please 🙏🏾, thanks
Bruges is my favourite place in Northern Europe closely followed by Ypres (also in Belgium).
Wow Bruges looks beautiful. I want to go and I want to stay at The Notary. Just going to google how much it is! 😂
Loving this vid btw.
just keeps reminding me of the movie :)
Happy new year Kate how are you doing today looking forward to seeing this later on nothing beats seeing you on 2 wheels have you got Hannah on the back again looking forward to seeing you on a sportsbike soon wearing your leathers and your swanky helmet and dark visor ride safe lovely only one username Kate 😂
Thats a crazy awesome place
Use a clothes peg to hold your Le Shuttle ticket to the windscreen 👍🏻
Has Hannah sat her test yet ???
I can recommend the oxford hot seat, aka the toasted buns, you should test one.
Great video! I love Bruges 👍 Oh, the tunnel goes to Coquelles, not Calais. Calais Port is 15 mins down the road 😉
Close enough 🤣
@@UsernameKate I thought that hotel would be a nice place to take the wife, but not at €1000 for two nights! 😂
@@BikesCarsandChat Its not that much!! haha I put the prices in the next instalment
@UsernameKate the dates I selected in June were!! 😮
oh crikey, you're right! The joys of going in June I guess :O !
Can I recommend Charlie rockets near the belfry. Nice little bar 👍🏻. Very retro
Ohhh, *makes notes*
I don’t know how you made it to Belgium and back on the CBR650R. My hips were ready for a break after a 30 minute test ride 😂 It did make purchasing the GSX 8R the easy choice though
Oh, the GSX8R comfort levels are worlds apart!! 🌎 hope you're loving the 8R!
How are you getting on with the GSX8R Hayley?
@usernamekate the dealer held the bike for me while we waiting for Suzuki to announce the 2025 deals. That happened yesterday and I’m picking it up tomorrow morning and I’m super excited!!
How good of them!!!!
I like the sound your bike makes
Kate I see you don’t appear to have a GPS on the bike, what guidance system do you use for these trips? Needing to sort something for myself so first hand experience is always good 👍
Happy new year Kate how are you doing today looking forward to seeing this will you have Hannah on the back love your swanky helmet and dark visor ride safe lovely from your friend Stevie lea in st Helens 😂
I know I have some catching up to do but I’ll still save this for when I have my head a bit more empty. And let’s face it: Looking forward to something can also be a big part of the fun! 😁
Thought you were zeroing in on the WAFFLE BAR . !
Coincidence i think not ?
Muhahaahaha
Amazing 😁
happy new year to u and ur sister kate
Yesss....
Finally hannah is here ...
Man ....you both are the sweetest ❤
We love what you do keep it up 👍 However did you know the Bankrupt Pensioner Richard described you as Useless but loveable. Personally I wouldn't be too sure which way to take that 🤔
Never heard of him so I won't lose any sleep 😊
Just looked on trivago at that hotel. Ducati dealers now look affordable. Your sis is a lucky bugger, not as lucky as being a biker but it seems to have perks 😂😂😂😂
Welcome in Belgium enjoy ✌️
Love the videos
Keep it up in 2025 🤩🤩🤩
Ye old crème brûlée was overcooked therefore curdled, how did the bike perform? 😊😊👍👍
Excellently! I filmed this straight after my trip here: ua-cam.com/video/8iyHaaIlxpA/v-deo.html :)
