Brilliant mate. Simon Weirs routes are the best. He’s dedicated his life to discovering the best motorcycling roads in Europe.
Nice one Noob, Sunshine? Sunshine? It's not like you to to ride in the dry and the warm 🤔😊 Stunning roads especially that narrow gorge and the drone footage was icing on the cake. I'd have liked to have seen you fly out over the gorge a bit more but I understand when you've not flown in a while it's best to err on the side of caution. A room decorated to look distressed now that's clever, owners of run down hotels everywhere will be putting a claim to that one 😮😂
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and EpicAdam. I like that view very muchly
13:48 you know a road is good, if it brings out the inner Santa. / How much was that hotel, if you don't mind sharing?
Probably the best single journey vid I've ever seen, Noob. Amazing scenery, top quality roads, and no rain. You couldn't ask for any more. Well done.
Clue de Barles looks amazing, we need to get ourselves down there, thanks for sharing 👍
Some great roads, but the Clue de Barles was breathtaking.
Beautiful mate. 11:12 was stunning.
Very nice ride and views Especially nice when not spoiled by liquid sunshine. 😆
Its not about speed its about memories
Really enjoyed that, and made me miss my trip so much. The scenery is spectacular and so happy you were blessed to enjoy the roads in great weather. 😎👍
3:23 Nice painting. I do not know what kind of drugs the individual that painted this image was on, but I want some… It was imaginative.
Thats absolutely awesome ride bro. Ride Safe always
What a beautiful place to play bike! 🙂 I need to get abroad on a bike again.
Ridden the rout napoleon N85 several times with my wife on our Ducatis and once on our Buell one of our favourite rides then down to Frejus for a couple of days of RnR the the gorges du verdun the Bridge circuit a great challenging road with spectacular views (take it easy and enjoy the views or ride the road don’t try both) thanks for the memories
