This is what it’s like in many parts of the east coast USA. The roads were based on Indian trails, which were based on Deer or Buffalo trails. This does not apply to Florida- you can go anywhere in Florida by only turning twice lol.

To Americans that want to ride in Europe but money is an issue. Check the Transfagarasan (rated best road in the world by Top Gear) and Transalpina in Romania. Equally impressive but way cheaper as they are located in Eastern Europe. Also, with a bit of reaserch, you can find hidden gems of towns packed with castles and other historical sites that you can't find anywhere else. Cheers from Romania and ride safe!

Love that you enjoyed it. I ride the french alps a fair bit, sometimes Switzerland and Italy! These types of roads are everywhere! And the Alps are not the only beautiful places in Europe! Tight hairpins are a technique, normal to struggle the first time. Takes turning you're head at the right time and arriving at the proper pace. The entry will determine your exit. 28:42 exactly the type of rider I hate riding the Alps...they end up on the other lane exiting the corner too! (sorry for the negative comment)

I like the scene where you wave to the train. Have you noticed, you can go to the remotest areas in the Swiss Alps and almost everywhere there are train tracks and trains there? If you can't ride the Alps on your own wheels, you can also ride it by train, this is unique and that's Switzerland!

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! So happy that you and JR got to experience this tour. Tours aren't for everyone, but if you go at it as an adventure, you always have a good time. I suspect you made lifetime long memories on this trip. I hope you did. And I must say, you can go to Western Canada without an airplane, always have English speaking hosts and the Canadian Rockies are so different that the US Rockies. Definitely something you need to put on your "to do" list. Again, congratulations to the two of you. Glad you had the chance to experience much of Europe and from personal experience, Italy was my favorite. I'm looking forward to the next video of this trip!

Hi to both of you from Austria! Congrats to your decision to do that trip and to build memories that last forever. We did an roadtrip which included 9 (out of 10) of the highest and challenging mountain passes in the alps 3 weeks ago. To watch your videos brings memories alive and some goosebumps ;-) The riding in the alps is not comparable to what your are used to, but form time to time we have to get out of our comfort zone to get further in life. In 2025 we will visit the US for a 3 weeks roadtrip - so see you on the road

Seeing it through your American eyes was interesting. I understand why you took an organised tour, but don’t be afraid to make your own way next time. You seem a little insulated from things. And as for that bike, that is not a nimble bike! I would recommend looking for a lighter option next time as your curiosity will take you down some much smaller, tighter roads than these. There is so much to explore. Looking forward to episode 2.
