Racing a Train in the Shadow of Mont Blanc!

[@trevormoss1396]

Thank you for taking us along on that ride, it was lovely.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Our pleasure!

Another 20+mins of epic scenery and escapism from a dreary Saturday morning in Blighty.

[@treesthatleave876]

What a ride that was, stunning scenery all the way through. Another epic part of the adventure.

[@alanprice9938]

We might be mostly on this channel for the biker stuff, but when you see stunning footage like this, it’s an incredible inspiration to travel there too. What a great watch whilst enjoying a coffee this morning. Nothing short of awesome.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Alan - so glad you liked it!

Morning, great video, I cycled from Geneva airport to Martigny in Switzerland this summer with an old school mate, we are both retired now, so no rush did it over two days, the roads we took were amazing in the quality and the views. Even through Geneva to the border the cycle lanes and roads were superb. We left our cycle boxes at Geneva airport luggage store for any body considering it, some fantastic climbs both ways, however definitely quicker on the return leg. Haven’t had a motorbike since the 80’s but now considering it having watched you, Itchy boots and Freddie Dobbs.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Get yourself a motorcycle Steve - you know it makes sense!!

[@Sn00pyJ508]

Hopefully you rode up the St Bernard pass from Martigny?

[@dagsolberg2852]

Wind and snow outside in Norway, good to enjoy a cup of coffee and your trip in the Alps😊

[@ianhalliwell8604]

What fabulous scenery your really making me jealous as i look outside on a grey Saturday morning up here in Lancashire.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Pretty grey down here in Buckinghamshire too if that makes you feel any better...

[@FezzaYT]

Stunning scenery! What a wonderful trip. Enjoying the series very much Andy

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks 👍

[@peterdane9138]

Absolutely brilliant. Breakfast with the Flyers. You can’t beat it.

Saturday morning, dog out for a wee, feet up, cup of tea with TMF! Tick! You saw me through lockdown with your content and still making me feel good, keep it up i have loved the last two wingin it tours! 👏👏👏

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

So glad to hear that!

[@Davidjeng049]

It's good to see all those places again as it's 50 years since I toured all around over there.

What a great way to start the weekend

[@pricklypunter]

Mt. Blanc looks beautiful, what a fantastic trip you guys are having!

[@paulpartridge2674]

Very much enjoying this series , spectacular views and superb roads , not thought about a tour here , but am now 👏

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You should!

[@antonoat]

The wing takes it all in its stride! 😀👏👍🏍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You got that right!

[@geoffmatthias3056]

Another fantastic vid that part of the world just keeps on giving Andy superb scenery. I always buy my vignette from fuel stations as soon as I cross into Switzerland you get a lovely sticker as a souvenir ☀️☀️👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

The ones that are impossible to get off your windscreen you mean? I still have a 2022 one stuck indelibly on one of my cars....!!

[@MrTeriyakiman]

Can’t wait for next year’s touring season. Sigh. Loving this tour series!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes roll on Summer!

[@johnlenart597]

Watching at 2:30 am would provoke a wow from most, but WOW, WOW was all I could say for most of the video. My trip this year was through the corn belt of Indiana and Iowa. No mountains there, lol. Thanks for the ride a long. 👍👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes a slightly different scenery set!!! Still beautiful though I bet?

Great trip, loving the scenery and off-bike excursions, plus a bonus ILAFFT confession for the aviators amongst us! PS Carol is right - that was definitely a quiche 😂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes it’s not that often you fly a piston engined GA aircraft to FL140!

[@graemebrown5540]

@ Probably only once 😂 Obviously I’d never do anything like that 🤥🫣

[@Sn00pyJ508]

@@TheMissendenFlyerThere are old pilots and “bald” pilots. As long as the number of take offs equals the number of landings, then all is good! “I learned about flying from that”, ring a bell?

Another great episode. Very much enjoying the tour on telly. 😊 Cheers Jimmy

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

More to come!

[@Patrickcobra]

Nice trip u do Great see Chamonix again was there skiing 25 years ago Must come back with my bike

My what a view! Great tour...…..Thought there would be a wee kiss on the ski lift there while watching ! lol 🙂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Aww, how romantic....

[@paulb6112]

Wonderful stuff, really enjoying this tour, the off-bike material is great too. Perfect Saturday evening viewing for me (in Adelaide) after returning from seeing an Australian Defence Force FA-18 flypast!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice!

[@lordpunter6188]

Been to Meribel a few times skiing, and there’s no doubt the Alps is sooo much better in the summer - stunning ! Thanks, great episode.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I’m not sure I agree with that - works all year round for me!

[@ticthedog6095]

Great video. Perfect accompaniment to my bacon sarnie and cup of tea.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sounds great to me - I could murder a bacon sarnie!!

[@Anytwowheels2024]

Great video Andy! We have stayed many times in the Demi-Quartier which is just after Megeve. Everything is cheaper in Combloux, a small village about 5 k’s from Megeve. If you want the name of a great little hotel in the centre of Chamonix, let me know. Secure parking and you walk 50 metres down a lane to the centre of town. Thanks again for taking us along as we are currently sweltering in heat and humidity of an Australian summer! Cheers

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

What’s the name of the hotel?

[@MrTone41]

Loving this, would love to see some plane trips with your plane

What a great trip for you guys. The furthest I got into Europe this year on my Triumph T120 was Maastricht, which was a great city to stop in. Can only dream of going as far as you do Andy. Loving the series.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I’ve never been to Maastricht, sounds like I need to get there!

Loved this would be great to share the route if possible

[@brianclarke4159]

You can tell Andy doesn't do the weekly shop! Flan indeed, great to watch

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Actually I do do the weekly shop! Admittedly online and delivered….

[@iscadean6038]

Did you notice, Andy, the quality of the roads in Switzerland. I know I bleat on about the state of our roads here in the UK but the difference is night and day. Makes for great riding.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Indeed!

[@keitht3055]

Excellent vlog Andy👍. I popped into Switzerland this summer and, had never heard of the Vignette 🤔. Fortunately, I was only in for an hour or so and, kept on small roads. Definitely a valid piece of information 👍.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sounds like you got away with it!

[@Sn00pyJ508]

As far as I remember, you only need a Vignette on the Motorways. You can often buy them at the border at Passport control. 50 Euros for the year is a small price to pay. Used to be 35 Euros when I worked there. Inflation huh?

[@laikatravels]

Beautiful scenery. We drove an mx5 to Grindelwald 20 years ago. Almost as much fun as 2 wheels!?

[@GoingsoloinFrance]

You sir, it seems have created the perfect youtube channel, well done. I very much enjoyed this video and have been binge watching dozens more over the past week and have notice even you get the occasional trolling/nasty comments. You deal with them better than I. I have never ridden a motorcycle but who knows, one day I might get bitten by the bug. Thanks for your all your efforts.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow, thanks for watching - I’m glad you enjoy my efforts!

[@stephenwalters8061]

Great viewing and certainly a pick up as I lie in bed with a severe head cold. 🙃

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Oh dear, hope you feel better soon Stephen - man colds are not to be sneezed at!

[@stephenwalters8061]

@@TheMissendenFlyer- obviously with a reference to ‘man colds’ the reply was from Mrs Flyer. 😁😂😂❤

[@Sn00pyJ508]

Ha, so you visited Mageve, where I worked, and now you go to another of the places I worked shown at 04:44 in Chamonix! Spooky.👻 Can’t wait to go back on the 2025 Wing perhaps? Health permitting. 🤞🏻 Respect for flying over there!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cool- and yes flying around the mountains is always a bit of an experience for us flat land pilots!

[@seaninness334]

WHOA! Lots of eye candy, 😃 My Dad told me he once had a failure of his oxygen system and became quite hypoxic almost to the point of passing out. His radar intercept officer was screaming at him. He didn't rouse him until he started the countdown for ejecting himself, leaving my Dad on his own, which made my Dad's starved brain angry. He then managed to descend and recover. Great visual keeping pace with the red train. BTW, have you ever had an extended communication with other riders, not in your group, on your comms?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes we did on this trip - a long 30 minute chat with a friendly German biker on the b500

[@andrewdyson4255]

That lake looks freezing

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I wouldn'r have fancied a dip even if it was allowed!

[@mattWallJsy]

Fantastic stuff, but no Aiguille du Midi. 👍🏽

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Not today!

[@retiredstillriding843]

Mount elbrus is the tallest mountain in Europe.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Alright, tallest in the alps then 😜

[@AManAstray]

Amazing scenery. Ok, I'm officially sad. In Oslo at the moment visiting family and I still have to catch up with the latest TMF video 😊 One question (from my cousin) why auto subtitles are off? I.E only in English? Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but I also stayed in a hotel des Alps. They must all be called that in the region. 😂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Maybe they are....and no idea on the subtitles, sorry about that!

[@AManAstray]

@TheMissendenFlyer he's good with English as well so no problems there. 😁

[@RobLittleuk]

Enjoying your trip Andy especially as I am hoping to do this (fat man age 72) on my xsr125 next year. A question - what did you pay to ride in Switzerland? Ahh you just answered my question - bit of a rip off for a few hours !!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well we do come back to Switzerland on this trip so turned out good value compared to say French tolls.

[@RobLittleuk]

@@TheMissendenFlyer Guess so thanks !

Several years back I hit 30mph on a treader on a hill near me, hellascary but 50???😨

[@youwhatnow]

May I ask if you pay for breakdown cover abroad, or take your chances?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I always get cover - in this case from Hondas scheme I took out when I bought the bike…

[@kevinf-b5065]

Mrs Flyer, it doesn't look like you have a particularly good view from back there

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

She has a fabulous view - of me!

[@user-abob-1800c]

Andy ads equal to the length of this video so 42.minutes something spoiled your work Being pushed to get premium can’t afford it so will be closing the app.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That’s crazy! I get premium just to avoid the ads - well worth the cost if you watch a lot of KZbin!
