Hey Kids! I don’t want this series to end. An absolute editing masterpiece with all the footage you shot. Well done, Andy 👏🏻 and thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable. Many thanks Carole and TMF. Keep ‘em coming!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow - thank you! Another tour series coming soon in the New Year!

[@fountainofyouth5]

Western Montana and Northern Idaho is some of the most unimaginably beautiful country I've ever seen anywhere in the world. I'm so glad you and the Mrs. got to experience it firsthand!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Me too!

[@andrewhayes4246]

Blimey, setting up that last shot was like herding cats! Thanks for these vids, it gives us a chance to live vicariously on your tour. 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Tell me about it - this stuff doesn't always come easy!

[@davidsandilands1285]

Mrs Flyer’s input certainly makes it interesting, let’s see more of that 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks David!

[@russsaunders321]

Drone shots were very cool! Amazing scenery in Montana! You two will love the Lolo pass! Great fun today! 😁😎

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Stay tuned for Lolo action!

[@spetersonmusic]

I know the mic issues are frustrating, but it it interesting how the music interludes and drone footage mixed in with the first person camera create that epic feel, ala Itchy Boots. it does make it even more massive feeling and impactful mixed in. This trip has been one of my favorite of yours and you've had a slew of them. Keep on doing what you do, as always.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I agree Scott - the drone footage in particular helps put things into perspective, such a shame I couldn't do that in Canada because The Yukon in particular was massive! Pleased you like my tours - I'm just in the midst of editing another for the New Year (though this time I won't publish one after the other as although people said they wanted the tour that way I have also had lots of complaints abut this one going on too long). All the best and thanks for your support and encouragement as ever....

Montana is spectacular! I think we need to hear more from Mrs. Flyer! "You can't say that!" and calling out the "bromance". LOL

Yes she’s a keeper….

[@roo5169]

Another brilliant episode Mr & Mrs Flyer, I have always wanted to visit Montana thanks for sharing your trip with us.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Our pleasure!

[@johnlenart597]

Eastern Montana would be the direct opposite, extremely flat and agricultural, and stretching what seems forever. The Sun Highway was mostly clear 40 years ago-extremely crowded today. Sometimes the secondary roads are the true jewels. Kudos to Mrs. Flyer for her whitty comments. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@charlessadler1721]

This was a great episode. I am enjoying this series with this tour that you and the Mrs Flyer are on.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great to hear Charles - thank you for joining us!

[@charlessadler1721]

I have been watching you for several years. I really enjoy you trips and the photography that you do. Your bike reviews are great also. I lit in the states and enjoy your prospective on motorcycle. We are fortunate to live in a time where there most motorcycles are great

[@cwarren4396]

Love seeing Montana again. Miss my home.... As to the pinkish red roads, Montana uses magnesium chloride on the roads in winter which leaves that colorcast. Thanks for sharing..

[@sootylum]

Without doubt one of your best tours so far thoroughly enjoying this one.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad to hear that!

[@maggieday8178]

In hysterics....grippy and smooth...how can it be both from Mrs Flyer.....and then the sqiggy thing 😂🤣

[@garyhope0103]

Just doesn't fail to amaze me. The shots through Canada were also so amazing, I didn't even realise there was no drone film, so imagine if you'd been able to fly it there. The interview with Nigel was just great with the director (Mrs Flyer) keeping you both in check. Thank you both once again.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks as ever Gary - always good to read your words of encouragement!

[@lylemacdonald6672]

Your vlogs drop here in BC Canada just before I head to bed. Perfect thing before putting my head down.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

A great cure for insomnia!

[@nelsdude]

Glad to see you riding the area I know so well. I grew up in Montana. My mom lived right there in Swan Lake. You rode past her place which was just below the gas station/store on the right. We were just in Big Fork last month for a funeral & stayed at the Timbers Motel. I live in St George , Utah area now. Cheers & Happy Riding!

Thankyou for sharing this fantastic tour with us all especially today as its minus 4 here in Plymouth what a great start to the day, we rode the Rockies 5 years ago and did the Road To The Sun it was a very interesting road but very very busy so I don’t think you missed too much.

[@grantkokich6906]

Very scenic area with the trees and lake. Yes that earlier road seemed to have fine , but coarse stones that keeps it smooth , but with good grip.

[@mikeypro7534]

Glad that your weather has held up - at least to this point. 😁 Beware of those thunderstorms though. My riding buddy and I got caught up in one just southeast of Missoula on the I90. It was almost zero visibility from the sheer deluge and we ended up riding at about 25 mph on the shoulder, with semis blasting past us all the while and kicking up even more water. Thankfully, we made it to an underpass (the Montana interstate exits go under the highway - kind of unique) and found shelter til it all blew over. There were also about thirty other bikers sitting underneath waiting for the storm to pass (the wait was only about twenty minutes long). Needless to say, even with our rain gear on, we were absolutely soaked! After reading one of your responses to a comment, I can't believe that some people are complaining about the length of your adventure series. The absolute beauty of all of the places you have travelled make every posting a jewel in its own right! As always, great video!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Mikey - much appreciated!

[@mikemerrill175]

One of my sons lives in Montana. It’s rugged beautiful country with lots and lots of bugs that bite in the summer. Great ride reporting

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I forgot about that - thanks for the reminder and for sticking around until the bitter end!

[@jettand11]

What a lovely video. I’m so glad you enjoyed Montana. If no one has mentioned, road construction & repair is concentrated to the summer in the mountain states because that is the time the weather allows it. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes a few have mentioned that - makes perfect sense!

Don't know if you mentioned it, that Montana's moto is "Big Sky Country". It is showing it well. 😎

[@samhill3496]

Granite based asphalt material. Wears the tires down. In the future if you get to take another western tour ride from Lolo Pass down the Snake and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific coast. Along the water the whole way with twists and turns with a view or nearly a mile ahead in many areas. come back over and ride some more. Lot of eagles in the area you are traveling.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Stay tuned because that's exactly the route we take to Portland later in the series....

[@richardsalsman1069]

If you go east in Montana you will find plains that go for days which sounds more like what you expected. The west is all mountainous as you discovered.

[@cpuuk]

Re the smooth\ grippy argument- it might be Ultigrip or Shellgrip coating, which is a surface resin that is smooth (fills gaps in the surface) yet grippy.

[@laikatravels]

Brilliant 👍

[@palantir135]

My reaction is later than usual but I had the flu and spent several days in bed with high fever. Montana looks great. It looks a bit like the German Alps. The Austrian and certainly the Swiss Alps are higher and rougher. No wonder it’s warm there. It’s on the same latitude as the southern half of France. Nice drone footage Dutch aren’t shocked if someone wants to lick a microphone.

Tarmac - used to be known as 'Shell-grip' when I was young, commonly used just before junctions in the UK, to give better grip(for the half asleep??)

[@e.z.b.sevenone]

High concentrations of rose quartz and pink granite in the asphalt is what makes it look pink!!! Seems as though it doesn't ice over as easily as regular black top?¿?¿ Perhaps it's just in my head....🤷‍♂️
