BMW R1250GS-4 day mini tour in France. One of my GSD'S dies unexpectedly whilst I'm away.

[@paulabraham8724]

So sorry to hear about your lovely dog passing. Every day with a GSD in your life brings joy.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks Paul

[@davidryan6837]

Sorry for your loss Paul, dogs are such a massive part of any family I feel for you. Great vid as usual especially under the circumstances

[@gsd32i]

Thanks

[@gesanners1417]

I did much the same route 45 years ago and was looking forward to watching this episode. So sorry for your loss, truly sickening losing a dog mate😢

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, I have a feeling my biking buddies who couldn't come will want to do the route again, some great roads, shame we had drizzle in the Loire valley though.

[@AndrewCaton-q6s]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. And well done for keeping things together and carrying on with your tour .

[@chrisparrish3430]

Sorry for your loss it's heart breaking when they go.

[@spiketez]

So sorry to hear about your dog . Such a shock for you and your wife . Great video of your little break . You need to do more of these touring videos as you present them really . 👍

[@gsd32i]

Thanks , I would really like to do more as and when.

[@gnmurray5955]

I stopped watching the video at the point where you found out about your dog dying. Really, really sorry to hear that. Dog's are incredibly precious, only a dog lover could understand. You have my sympathy.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks , it was a tough one.

[@JIMMER15]

Great video and so very sorry to hear of your dog passing away!

[@stephenwilkins376]

I'm sorry to hear about Keira. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. It was always great to see them in the background of your videos.

[@gsd32i]

Thank you so much!

[@GeoffWalden]

Been to Oradour twice, and both times amazed how quiet it is, even bird song is subdued. As a dog owner feeling your pain at your loss. Enjoyable video, would have loved to do the trip.

[@gsd32i]

Geoff many thanks. House is a bit too quiet even with our 43 kg 12 year old Shepherd .

[@TomPeacock]

Dogs are better than 99% of humans and we honestly don't deserve then! I'm sure she lived a good life and I'm so sorry you are going through this. A day at a time x RIP KIRA

[@49googie]

Totally concur !.

[@markbkbikes]

I'm so sorry you lost a close friend and family member. I'm a big fan of your channel from the USA.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks very much, my other GSD aged 12, doesn't seem to be bothered that she's gone!

[@saeedmoosa6072]

Great video thanks for all the hints and tips and so sorry to hear about Kiera ❤

[@gsd32i]

Thank you .

[@Omsracer1]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your lovely dog. Full marks for carriage on with the vid. As usual a very informative and interesting tour which I would like to do myself one day.

[@gsd32i]

Thank you

[@gizproUK]

So sorry to hear about your dog, I admire your videos and always looked forward to spotting your dogs on the garage floor. Dogs are family.

[@mars0030]

Wow, so sorry to hear you lost one of your beloved best buddies. I always loved to see the pair of them laying around with you on your videos. I know you'll be completely gutted. Best wishes mate.

[@andrewfishburn5184]

So sad about Keira .. I know how it feels to loose a dog . Well done for you carrying on ! 😢love your little videos and used to love seeing the dogs in the garage looking decidedly bored😅hoping you get some comfort from your other dog and family on your return.

[@gsd32i]

Thank you so much!

[@andrewhey84]

Sorry to hear about your lovely dog mate. My siberian husky was 8 when i lost her. Broke me to pieces! Good on you for carrying on 👍

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, sorry to hear about your husky.

[@davidpollock4703]

Sorry for your loss Paul. Losing a dog is one of the most traumatic experiences I have ever had to endure

[@gsd32i]

Thanks David.

[@davidz8]

Really sorry to hear about your lovely dog, Always loved, never forgotten.

[@Bitwobbley]

Hi Paul. So so sorry to hear about Kira. They become your most loyal friend and protector as well as a loved member of the family. On a cheerier note, fantastic video with some very poignant places visited. A trip I will be planning very soon. Thanks, keep safe and looking forward to the next video.

[@CHIGEEGO]

Sorry for your loss Paul.

[@gsd32i]

Thank you.

[@Hogdriver88]

Dogs are the best, GSDs are the best of the best - I’m on #3 now; it’s been 32 years total. Sorry for your loss.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, my 12 yr old had a blood test for DCM (heart disease) today which is what caused his sister to pass. Fortunately he's in the clear. 🙏

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! As always. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. She was so beautiful. Too soon. I can empathize going through this recently. It's got to be be tough. Best!

[@markpowell7713]

I do enjoy your mini break videos, but really sorry to hear about your GSD.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, it was an absolute shock.....still can't believe it TBH.

[@martinhughes9769]

Interesting video, loved the submarine visit ,surprising what ground you can cover in 4 days 😊, sad to think that a village was destroyed with its inhabitants,, but unfortunately so many towns and villages were, superb watch 👍

[@gsd32i]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@richardmorton5650]

My deepest condolences to you , Keira has gone for her long sleep, as a fellow GSD owner i feel your pain, our GS is also called Milo and is nine.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks Richard. Our Milo is doing well and will be appearing in my next man cave video in the next few days.

[@ConciergeMed]

Very very sorry to hear about your loss. I, like you, had two of those with the same hair types too. It just knocks us sideways when they go… Thanks for the vid & take care.

[@gsd32i]

Many thanks. My 12 year old doesn't seem to be missing his sister 🙈

[@hartley383]

So very sorry to hear about Kira. Nice few days away, some good tips for when we finally do our tour of France.

[@michaelneve3223]

Great vid, so sorry about the loss of your dog. You encouraged me to fit an ezcan and some Denali’s - the installer wired my Keis heated jacket into it so no more Keis controller, game changer!

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, will be in the man cave with Milo tomorrow doing a quick video. just wondering how you change the heat levels and how you switch the keiss on and off.

[@michaelneve3223]

@ thanks for the reply - you remove the Keis controller from the jacket and just plug the kit to the power lead. My Keis lead is connected to the white circuit on the ezcan. The ezCan has a function for heated gear. I have the same GS as you with 5 levels of heated grip - the ezcan allows you to select a power level for your kit for each grip level. I’ve got mine currently set at 0,20,40,60,80 % for 1,2,3,4,5 grip heat - working well so far. The ezcan is set to not turn any accessory until the engine is running. Fab upgrade!

[@patmaerten5007]

Bravo !!! Les villes sont très bien prononcées. Well done !!! The cities are very well pronounced. Sorry about your dog...😪

[@gsd32i]

Merci beaucoup

[@neilhutton1528]

So sorry for your loss Paul.❤

[@gsd32i]

Thanks Neil. Did lots of swearing that day in the helmet!

[@AldredsquashUk]

Owning dogs myself I feel your pain, so sorry, remember the good times

[@ianbriden7907]

So sorry for your loss

[@iantonner3123]

Sorry to hear about your loss Paul 🌈

[@PaulvanBuren-1492]

Great vlog but sorry to hear about the loss of your dog.

[@gsd32i]

Much appreciated

[@Wirefox1]

So sorry for your loss. Losing a dog can be worse than losing a relative.

[@kennybrookes5156]

Hi Paul , glad too see your looking well 👍 sorry to hear about Kira 🌈🐾 fantastic video as always did similar last year I have the same bike with the 719 kit , your companion Kira is gone ,but the memory’s live on there’s no greater companion best wishes 👍

[@gsd32i]

Thanks 👍

[@banjo4829]

So sorry to hear about Kira, been there and it's hard, I dread losing my current best mate as she's now 7, take care Paul, regards from Oz.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks . My 12 GSD year old has now been allowed to sleep with us in the bedroom since his sister passed away . He better not get too use to that !

[@koreysherwin8239]

So sorry about your Pup. ☹ worst day of my life when we lost our first Kerry. Another one goes over the rainbow bridge.. 😢

[@milabaigar]

Ive been out today too 20 c four of us great ride lunch in mountain village great ! Ride safe 👍🤣

[@jerryharris4458]

Sorry to hear about your lovely dog, or as I say about mine my best mate.

[@johnwelbers4248]

Sorry about your dog,good timing on the ride to watch here on Remembrance Day here in 🇨🇦😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦

[@gsd32i]

Many thanks, it was a bit of a shock to say the least! 🇯🇪

[@Darranna]

So sorry to hear about Kira, I’ve been in that same position myself a few times and hate it everytime 😢, as it happens I’d didn’t know what GSD stood for until you mentioned it. I have a 1250 GS Triple Black also covered in the 719 kit and only enough I also have a Motorhome, keep up the good work.

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, it was a phone call that I never expected that day.

[@PaulHodgson-u8l]

Firstly, very sad to hear about your dog, they both were very familiar in the background whilst watching your videos, will be strange not to see the two of them together. On a happier note….Great trip to France, some interesting sites, must do it myself. All the best

[@gsd32i]

Thanks for that

[@markphillips8078]

Sad news about your dog You missed out on the serpent of the ocean on the other side of the bridge at st nazaire and a really good artillery museum in Saumur . Also Les machines de illegal in Nantes. Keep vlogging 👍🏻

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, I saw the serpent in the planning stage!!on google earth, someone has also said about the tank museum in Saumur....I will have to look at the item in Nantes 👍

[@xjr13john]

Sorry to hear the loss of your beautiful dawg, you didn't mention Operation Chariot where HMS Cambletown was rammed in to the gates of the dry docks, Oradour is definitely worth a visit as is Saumur. If you need heated seats and clothing in 21adegrees maybe you should stick to a car!

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, it was about 9 degrees in the morning first thing, I do like to be comfortable.

[@Ole.Schultz]

Sorry for your loss, i am keeping my R1250GS, the R1300GS is just too small and i am not into the GSA model

[@neilhutton1528]

I assume by the shapes you were throwing the Packtalk is working well en-route

[@georgefirth09]

So sorry for the loss of your friend A dog is family 😢 I think I’d have riden home

[@gsd32i]

It was tough 🥲

[@skinnyrides]

Very enjoyable but tinged with sadness. Will you get another dog to keep the 12 year old company?

[@gsd32i]

Thanks, at the moment .....no. Possibly a rescue , but we also have 2 rescue cats that climb all over the 12 year old!!

[@davidmatthews3093]

I thought that I would watch the first five minutes before going to bed as I need to get up early tomorrow. Why am I getting up early? Because tomorrow I’m riding over to Les Sables d’Olonne! I’m going over to look at the Vendée Globe Round the World yachts before they start their race on Sunday. What a coincidence. I was in La Rochelle lat Friday. 🙂🙂

[@gsd32i]

I would have taken more video as they had those big boat things leaving the marina, I think to do media stuff , but I just wasn't up for it!

[@markc1967]

Such a sad loss. We lost our 12.5 year old black lab last week. We are heartbroken 💔

[@gsd32i]

Sorry for your loss. Both my wife and I are still in shock to be honest, the house is too quiet without her and even just washing the dog throws in our sunroom feels like we are wiping her memory away! 🙈

[@markc1967]

@ ❤️

[@nicknfullwood-vj8hs]

Sad news about your Dog. Scenic app is having loads of issues at the moment as they have had to change map supplier. Lots of functions not working on new version

[@gsd32i]

That makes sense . Thanks ref my dog.😢

[@lambo2817]

What are the red lights on the mirrors? Sorry about the dog matey

[@gsd32i]

Blind spot detection system from Innovv, works really well, in the link below.

[@nigelsride]

[@gsd32i]

[@bilginsaricikli6088]

May I ask your mirrors, brand, type?

[@gsd32i]

Hi, they're BMW 719 mirrors.

[@bilginsaricikli6088]

@gsd32i thanks

[@adamcooper2192]

😢

[@ABIKETHING]

Dogs are a pain in the ass. I’ve never been without one and always say never again when they pass. They can be so annoying but they always find a way in and dangle off our heart strings. I know your pain, it’s dreadful.

[@gsd32i]

Many thanks Steve.

[@gsbeak]

Nice ride ! You missed the very interesting Tank Museum in Saumur. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_des_Blind%C3%A9s

[@gsd32i]

Thanks for the info! I will plan another similar route next year and the lads will enjoy that. 👍
