Yep skiing and motorcycling have very similar attributes. You get dressed in warm clothing, get hot and sweaty, cold and freezing, be exhilarated by speed and at the end of the day have a few celebratory drinks to celebrate you weren’t injured in any way

I did this exact coastal route a few weekends back to camp in mwnt. Stunning place 👌. Llangrannog is a nice little bay to stop off at instead of New quay or Aberearon, literally the next bay down from New quay. Intrigued to see what you think when you reach fishguard. Seemed to me like it was very run down and struggling a bit compared to everywhere else nothing of it. Stunning place never the less

[@Banditmanuk]

So many great roads in Wales. We've found keeping away from some of the busy coastal tourist spots and doing central Wales gives us emptier roads. If you are considering doing a Euro bike tour with Mrs Flyer, I can recommend basing yourselves in Bourg St Maurice France; every road out of there is amazing. The highest paved road in Europe the Col du Liseran is close by. You can ride up to Tignes, catch the funicular railway up to the glacier and have some summer skiing. Easily ride around mont Blanc in a day. Do the col du petite St Bernard while singing the theme to the Italian Job. We have extensive GPX routes 😉 Hope you do more tour vids. Cheers.

I live in the heart of the Colorado Rockies near 4 major ski areas. I ski every day in winter and think about riding my motorcycle. I ride almost every day in summer and think about skiing. If you think about it, turning on skis and turning on a motorcycle are very similar. Put the skis or tires on edge, lean to the inside and enjoy the G forces. Lots of UK skiers come to Colorado. We speak a version of English that they understand. A long trip so most stay 2 weeks and visit several areas.

[@edxr250r]

Nice to see you having a good time riding in Wales, some great roads and awesome scenery, when the weather is reasonable it's a fabulous place to be. Fair play to you using a car park in New Quay, I'd have found a secluded FOC bike sized spot down in the harbour. Surely you could leave your helmet in the top box or take your empty panniers with you for the day out allowing you to loose the jacket, helmet and gloves as a minimum. That's what I tend to do with my GS and the vario luggage is great for swallowing boots and leathers when parked which means you can slip into those fashionable shorts and flip flops that you must have packed when heading to the west Wales coast🤔🌞😉👍👍

[@maskedavenger2578]

The thieves can be inside any top case or panniers in a few seconds ,you would be just leaving them the gear to ride away our bike with .You can bet the car park attendant won’t have seen them doing it .

[@edxr250r]

I guess in the same way that thieves can take your bike in seconds but we leave our bikes unattended. The comment suggests that you would need to remove all luggage when parking your bike as theives (if present) assume that there's something in your hard luggage and open it to see what they can steal? I fail to see the point of having lockable luggage if we feel we can't leave anything in panniers/top boxes for fear of them being broken into when unattended. For reference I have the standard BMW vario luggage and always use them to store my gear in when parking the bike in public and haven't had any issue to date. I'm not suggesting leaving all the luggage on overnight outside a hotel etc but I don't think I've ever removed my top box in the ten years I've had the bike regardless of where I've parked it. 🤔🤔

[@maskedavenger2578]

@@edxr250r I would only ever leave swag that I wouldn’t miss that much if it went missing I certainly wouldn’t leave £700 helmet & a few grands worth of motorcycle clothing & cameras .I would only leave it in if I could see my bike from a cafe window or such like .The vagabonds see you putting gear in your top cases & panniers ,they have it in seconds .I also chain my bike to something solid & also use a second lock on disc to slow them down ,They will usually move on to an easier target ,unless you happen to have a high end bike that are stolen to order ,loaded into a container & in a foreign country in a day or two .Hence why I only purchase sensible everyday bikes that are not on the professional criminals radar ..

You can combine bike touring and skiing. Have been to many ski resorts on a bike and quite a few have a glacier for out of season skiing. Your riding gear can double up as ski gear (if it’s textile, most people don’t even notice) and you just rent the rest. You have to check your insurance though as you can find you’re not covered!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I have thought of that!

[@peteranderson7497]

I used to love that type of touring. Age has forced me to give motorcycling away 🥴😖. When I did do rides like these it was on a Honda CB900F Hornet, then a Honda Silverwing 600 maxi scooter and lastly a Kawasaki VN900 Custom. The scooter was the best equipped for touring but a backpack was generally fine on the two motorcycles. My touring was all over New South Wales and Victoria (Australia). I find your references to time for a given distance strange. In Oz you can cover much greater distances much quicker. But I have holidayed in the UK and have been caught out under estimating the time it would take to get somewhere. Thanks for the great videos. Stay safe, Peter

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I suspect our roads are a bit narrowere and windy (sp?) than those in Aus??

[@grahamhiggins1]

Wales has to be one of the few places in the world that expect a parking ticket to be put on a motorcycle. It’s the same in Builth Wells, the wind just blows it off and the rain makes the ink run. Local councils couldn’t bear bikers somehow having some advantage!

Another great vid. You really must (when things allow) get down to the Alps. Make sure you do the Stelvio Pass going UP the steeper side! I did it on my GS when I had it, some years ago along with many other Alpine and Dolomite passes. Just beware hordes of camper vans around the Italian Lakes! They are bigger than white vans so are not easy to overtake on the narrow, twisty, and crowded roads and go a lot slower! Morocco is a great place to ride, too. Take the ferry to Santander, ride down through Spain (3 days), across to N Africa, and down through Fez to the Sahara, back up to the Med via the Atlas Mountains and Marrakesh. I cheated on that tour letting BMW Tours take the strain! All I had to do was ride!

The South and West of Wales is good, very good, especially the west coast road, but it's the North that gives you the dramatic views as it is far more mountainous, not so many roads with hedges either side. I grew up there so am biased possibly. Good video as always TMF, top work fella.

I did a ride through Belgium last Friday. More than seven hours riding. I met all types of roads from very good to very bad. Never thought I’d ride those bad roads on a sport touring bike. It’s on KZbin. I never have battery problems anymore since I switched to external battery pack. More than fifteen hours of power. Great roads you’re riding on and beautiful surroundings. Don’t you have problems pulling on moist gloves on sweaty hands on a warm day? I do.

Yes can do!

[@andyjackson5]

i'm fairly spoilt for roads and views living in scotland.. but would love to come see what all the hype around wales is all about, the place looks lovely 👍🏻

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Give it a go but head North for your first visit I'd say.....

[@timjones6255]

If I wanted to do that trip, I’d get the bike out and put on the gear, ride up the drive and turn left direct onto the Tenby loop 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Cool!

[@grumpsrides6074]

Useful info about the GoPro and changing batteries. Unfortunately west Wales is very busy, mid and North Wales are, imo, a better place to ride. Enjoying the vids, keep em coming 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

One more to come!

I really enjoy your vids, nice and chilled. Just an observation, the tinted screen and offset camera position on your helmet means the spoiler and spoiler bracket are almost always right where you would like to look. Im sure its great for your comfort, but these do detract from viewing as a viewer. I know what you mean about rip-off accomodation.. We are endurance racing at Anglesey circuit at the end of August and the premier inn in Holyhead want circa 350 a night, and everywhere else is even worse than that!!

They're probably trying to gather the funds to repay their loans, so they're no beholden to the government

hi there, when you park up, take a picture of the parking ticket next to your number plate, then you have proof of payment if things get litigious later on 👍😎

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great tip - hadn't thought of that!

Great video. Nice to see some off the bike footage as constant road streaming can get boring, particularly with the wide angle lense of the go pro.

I live 2 miles out of Leominster which I'm sure you have ridden through before but we are very lucky to have Wales on our door step! We head to Hay on Wye and towards Brecon and then to Llandovery..roads are amazing and Llandovery has the best biker cafe..") ibly about 60 miles there but its always a good day out on the Welsh roads ") Can't beat it ✌

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes that's a similar route to the one i took with Mrs Flyer on the GoldWing tour last year.....

[@MrDf1976]

@@TheMissendenFlyer yeah I watched that one and you stopped at the fuel station just before you go into Leominster.....if you ever come again the kettle is always on lol 👍

Not required to pay for bike parking in Llandovery either.

Thanks for posting. Well, the foundations of my being have been shaken to the point of questioning my own existence. There are the laws of physics, the law of gravity, and, I thought, the law of "if tmf is on the road, the white vans will be coordinating a full attack to block his ride". I don't remember seeing one single white van. The universe as I knew it, is no longer the same. Where is Doctor Who when you need him/her?
