    Just wanted to say "Thank you" to all the RUclips visitors - this is a new format for me and I'm slowly getting acquainted so I appreciate all the support and patience as I embark on a new journey :)

    Looking forward to my trip this summer. Going from Norway to Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and end up in Croatia. Stay 8-9 days. Then back home. Cant wait to get on that open road and forget all the work buzz and the daily stresses that is.

    Brittany/Normandy are beautiful. Done some camping there. That Kawa W800 is one of the most beautiful looking bikes around.
    Nice video 😊

    Greetings from Far East Seoul!
    Enjoyed watching, reminds me of the cycling travel back in 2015 (London to Paris via Le Havre Ferry) and CYcling adventure in 2019 (Marseille - Nice Cote d'azur area - and to Italy San Remo). Big cities have old remains and modern section, but country side of France were just so peaceful and fun for cyclist/hiker now biker like me.
    Would like to give it a try for bike ride in France if I have Chance in Future.
    Always enjoying your video from Instagram and RUclips as well. :)
    As always, safe ride and best wishes to you.

      Hello there 👋 - that sounds like an awesome trip, I'd love to go back during the height of summer when the weather might be a bit better, so many more roads to explore!

    Nice job. La belle Francais and the classy W Kwaka takes some beating. Not having a boring commentary and just enough info adds to the charm. Can't wait until September for my go!

      I only just found your channel.5 minutes in and I already subscribed, because I like the short clips and the subtitles instead of long winded narration. I’m hoping to tour Europe with my wife next year, on a Himalayan 411, so this is inspiring to me. Thank you and best of luck. Oh, and ‘froggtoggs’ in France made me smile.

    Great video, and Great bike. After see this video I bought a 2024 model👍🏻. Only the tourque is not at the same rpm😢. But it’s the only really retrobike available. This video is what a beautiful life is. I see this one more time… and again… and again. What tank bag is?
