Wow that weather, I am moderately jealous :D It's something I want to do so much more of is find the time to just get away on a bike for a week :) You liek biek? Me too bud. And I often get the itch just to keep going at the end of a spin, it's weird, no distance of a trip is ever long enough! Looking forward to the next one :)
Loved this. It took me back to visiting Slovenia 15 years ago from Australia and being loaned a Slovenian friends, cousins MZ500 to bang around on. An unexpectedly beautiful country and charismatic bike. Super friendly people who would do anything for a visitor, although you wouldn’t think so at first meeting.
I join a lot of other Vloggers on Rev Bombs live streams on Friday nights, and yourself and your videos are quite often talked about with a lot of love and respect. Yet another great video Bruce, downloading the rest to watch at work........hope my bosses are subbed.
Top work sir, I watched this over breakfast. Yea!! Sally and I had a little holiday and didn't leave our sofa! Looking forward to seeing the next one! 😀 🏍💨💨
Like TMFs video from a few years back, your series will be a strong reminder of how beautiful Slovenia is for riding. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for posting this, means I can stop re-watching the Picos tours to banish the winter biking blues. Be interesting to see the more touristy bits of Slovenia, as I run through it a few times going form Hungary to Italy, normally went through without stopping from more than a coffee, but did have one long stop there, found a B&B, in a suburb of a town and parking the truck outside the house wasn't a problem with the locals. €20 a night including a breakfast with all fresh local produce, beats the staying in the cab.
OMG ! Bruce i was in Austria in aug/sept 2019 with my mrs on my zzz (grossglockner etc), i'd never heard of you then, our paths must've so nearly crossed ! i still miss it now, your vid has brought back the memories of those fantastic roads and that blisteringly hot summer ! ( by the way, the mad leprechaun was there too ! such a small world full of kindred spirits ! thanks bud, enjoyed that taster, got to get back there soon !!
Stunning country, came through from the Mangart Pass down to Rijeka in 2016, very under rated and worth a squirt on the way to the croatian coastal road!
The first glance was very impressive. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series, even though I'm already adding Slovenia to my travel bucket list.
Hi Bruce, I love your videos, and especially the publishing time is equal to the begin of my weekend. I like your positivity you show in your videos. This video touched me a lot when I was seeing pictures I know well: Brestanica, its church, castle and the power station next to your hotel, for which I was account manager for 6 years. Very nice! All the best for 2022 and looking forward to your vids in 2022!
Unfortunately I’m still a cbt rider but gonna do my first tour of Germany been over uk gonna take a 125 to Germany thean Maby Norway n one big bike in a few months thean I’m off to Spain after seeing yours tmfs richys tours makes me exited to do this
Brilliantos. Looking forward to seeing the bits if Slovenia I haven't been to yet. And it would be nice to think those we miss haven't gone, but merely are now ' enjoying an aerial view'. I'm going to enjoy this series. Happy travels
@@teapotone He is indeed, I remember one year we did the Tenerife trip and after too long a lunch break we were running late for the ferry back to GC. Martin was really pushing on down towards the port with Joy on pillion, he still kept that disciplined riding style that Carol and I could barely stay with. (We made the ferry with seconds to spare) Jose is indeed a great rider, who looks after you. I remember him telling me the importance of not cutting those mountain roads corners after he spotted me doing just that. Top bloke
Looks amazing Bruce. We are off to Gran Canaria next month with Canary motorcycle tours, any recommendations on holiday insurance that cover you for riding larger cc bikes. Also, do you put your helmet in the hold or take on as hand luggage. Cheers Dave
Hi Dave, I used ‘Voyager Plus Travel Insurance’, they offer cover for over 125cc and it’s great value for money - cost me £27.95 for the weeks cover. I used to take my lid on as carry, but now have a big, proper kit back which has a protective section for your lid, so it goes in the hold. Say hi to Joy, Martin and Jose from me please, and enjoy it 👍
really enjoyed this one bruce - a nice taste of sunshine and summer to come - been editing our own vids from a trip to scotland last year (2021) so taking tips from the master here! - looking forward to the rest of the series and your other upcoming trips - thanks for the content

2019??? geez, I rode my own GS there last year and well 7 other countries and 6550km in 3 weeks, none of this fly ride for me, probably cost me less to!! Slovakia is well worth a visit and not to far away, hadn't been there since it was Yugoslavia.
I do have one concern here Bruce. This is that Episode 1 came to an end far too quickly. A truly stunning place to take us to with yet another wonderfully edited video. I'm now left looking forward to the YT notification telling me of the Episode 2 upload. On an end note ref the Africa Twin: I got to ride one last year and I agree: very nice bikes to ride. Is Episode 2 up yet? 😂
I have anxiety when i am riding im a new rider and live in london and its been very difficult for me any tips you might give? Love your videos saludos amigo !
Hello bud, It’s just about spending time on the bike, getting used to how your body position, speed, braking, rain etc effects handling, braking and other aspects of the bike. I’d get out of London and find some quieter roads to spend time on - although if you can ride in London without being hit by someone, you’re actually doing very well! 😉👍
I wore it for a year and actually really liked it, except it was very loud and I prefer a lid with a peak. I love the look of the Ruroc and the magnetic chinstrap is fantastic 👍
Hi just wondering if you could please confirm for me that the 2022 INDIAN CHALLENGER DARK HORSE comes with front highway bars on it as stock from the factory please
in my 3rd month on the AT on loan and I hate it, terrible fueling, ergonomics, poor wind protection cant wait to get my gs back. Did look at going away from the brand and buying an AT and glad I did not. Also gypo is a person who steals other peoples stuff and leaves shite everywhere when they go. Great vlod TP1
😂 I'm sure someone will take offence on someone else's behalf at you saying gypsy 🤦♂️ I also have no idea as to what words are offensive by todays softie soft standards. Looks lovely out there! Your life must be terrible 😂
Harley🏳️🌈Davidson has release the new sportster S it is Nice and fast 💨 from the factory 🏭 I am looking forward to Purchasing A good Motorcycle from H🏳️🌈D Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸

Glasses really look good!!! And I think you fell a little bid in love with slovenia.
Ha Ha thanks!
Yes it’s a beautiful country, so green and lush with beautiful sweeping mountain roads 👏👍
Looks fantastic. Definitely worth the wait 👍🏻🏍👍🏻
You got the hang of a left hand drive bike from the start! Well done
🤣🤦♂️👍

Stunning country, came through from the Mangart Pass down to Rijeka in 2016, very under rated and worth a squirt on the way to the croatian coastal road!
Watching this reminds me how long its been since we've been able to ride like this in weather like this
Won’t be long bud 👍
Looks amazing, looking forward to the next videos.
I rode through there in 2010 stunning part of the world. I will get back some day. Great video looking forward to the rest. Keep her lit !!!

Should have been doing this tour 2020, sadly it didn't happen. Does look fabulous. Martin is probably one of the best riders I know.
Very smooth isn’t he, and Jose is amazing too!
They both make me feel like I know nothing 🤣🤦♂️👍

wow awsome looking forward to this trip
Just what’s needed after a wet day on a roof

Wait for part 2 😉
Looks amazing Bruce. We are off to Gran Canaria next month with Canary motorcycle tours, any recommendations on holiday insurance that cover you for riding larger cc bikes. Also, do you put your helmet in the hold or take on as hand luggage.

Hi Dave,
I used ‘Voyager Plus Travel Insurance’, they offer cover for over 125cc and it’s great value for money - cost me £27.95 for the weeks cover.
I used to take my lid on as carry, but now have a big, proper kit back which has a protective section for your lid, so it goes in the hold.
Say hi to Joy, Martin and Jose from me please, and enjoy it 👍
That's great, thanks for the info Bruce.
I will say hello from you👍

Stunning roads on the best bike .. lol

I am American. I never thought of the term "gypsy" as something negative 🤔. I think of it as a care free traveler. 🤷♂️
I do have one concern here Bruce. This is that Episode 1 came to an end far too quickly.
A truly stunning place to take us to with yet another wonderfully edited video. I'm now left looking forward to the YT notification telling me of the Episode 2 upload.
On an end note ref the Africa Twin: I got to ride one last year and I agree: very nice bikes to ride.
Is Episode 2 up yet? 😂
Ha Ha, well that’s good to know that the vid has left you hungry for more 👏🤣👍
That looks like a beautiful place 😍.... Big question is.... Have you been converted to an Africa twin? 🤠
I really like the manual, but it’s just too soft a ride for me personally. The twin engine sounds great under power though 👍
🤘👍🤘👍

Haven't seen you wear that Ruroc in a while, take it you weren't that impressed with it?
