Great tour Andy and Carole, I’ve been a subscriber for several years but first time I’ve watched this series…binge watched over two days of 27-33 degrees in Cambridge !
I'm actually sad that this series has ended, for me it's been epic on another level, I don't think £15k was too bad when you take everything into consideration, I'd like to thank both of you for taking the time to edit through that lot. Superb.
Thanks for taking us along on your tour. Watched and loved every minute. As you said expensive but once in a lifetime. Merry Christmas to you both and all of your subscribers. Looking forward to the next tour already.
Alf is a brilliant guy. He was our guide on the Motorrad Tours Picos trip last year. And well done Andy, I dread to think how many hours of editing must have been involved in producing this series.
Mr and Mrs Flyer, Just a quick message to say how much I enjoyed your adventures in Alaska and Canada and the USA. It brought many memories back to me as I travelled on some of the same routes you did when in 2007 I travelled on my BMW 1150 GS from BA in Argentina to Fairbanks and then to New York, a mere 28,000 miles in 7 Months. I remembered some of the routes as you were riding, and had many of the same problems you had with road works, weather, and trying to remember what day of the week it was. When you do a long tour, as you did, you are correct, the days just fly past and you certainly lose track of what day of the week it is, something my mates back home in the UK really took the p..ss out of me for when it told them. Where you rode was one of the highlights of my journey also so I can understand why you loved the trip so much and it certainly came over in your videos. As for the cost, for what you did i think the costs and the way the trip was managed represented good value for money overall. I wait for your next adventure, maybe next time you will come to ride here in South America where i now live, my 7-month adventure changed my life in many ways, the big one is i ended up living and working in Peru. All the Very best From Cusco and hope to see you one day.
Sadly Just watched the last episode of your fantast trip so a big thank you to you Andy and your lovely wife Carol for taking us along beautifully filmed and narrated as you say not cheap but a once in a lifetime trip looking forward to your next trip all the best for 2023 .👍
Well done to the both of you ! I thoroughly enjoyed the series, what an epic journey that must have been together with the ‘faff’ of filming and commentary to say nothing of the associated editing process. Brilliant work. Three weeks together and not a cross word spoken……..😉
I have to say thank you for an excellent series! As a result of sitting down with my wife each week to watch these episodes she has agreed to come touring as pillion with me for the first time. And we have booked our first tour for this coming year around Scotland. Can't thank you enough. We also have Ireland and the Alaskan trips in our sights. So very much looking forward to these next few years. We will be recording all of our trips too. Please pass on our thanks to Mrs Flyer, it was her who convinced us to go for it :-)
Really enjoyed watching this tour, thanks Andy. Thanks to Carol also who was a great contributor and added another level to the experience. When they end it's sad for us as well!
Thank you for this. I somehow missed it until now. I live in Utah and own a GSA. An Alaska trip through the Yukon has been in the back of my mind from here. I'I know what to expect now. Well done.
Fantastic series, enjoyed them all. Looking forward to the next tour. I dip in and out of RUclips channels, yours is about the only one where I watch 99% of your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful trip with us. The time and effort to film and edit such a mammoth tour must have made for very long days but it is appreciated. I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Huge thanks.
Thanks, Andy and Carol for a superb series. Really appreciate all the effort you put into making videos whilst on your holidays. Looking forward to the next one.
I so enjoyed this series that like a good book, I didn't want it to end. Will likely watch all 23 episodes again in the near future. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to share such a glorious trip. Love hearing your wife's thoughts on things, please grant her a bigger role in your next adventure. You're extremely fortunate Mrs. Flyer is so game to be part of these epic rides (my wife wants nothing to do with two wheeled transport).....
Hi David - Mrs flyer was exactly the same for many years, until she realised how much fun I had on motorcycle tours, and not only does she continue to ride pillion, but she has her own motorcycle now too! So you never know……
Each episode was a winner. A tour with you and Carol and your new friends was time and money well spent. Much cheaper on my end, but I've been trying to live life as much as I can. Mother said towards the end that life is short- enjoy it while you're here. Thank you for sharing your travels and moto vlogs. Now to enjoy the cold harsh winter. Spring is right around the corner. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.!!! 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Great video! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I’m actually getting ready for my first big motorcycle journey right now (Highway 1 Mexico border to Canada border) It’s going to be a blast. I love that I get to call the PNW home and I love seeing people discover it for the first time. To answer your question, the Salem in “Salem’s Lot” Is actually short for “Jerusalem’s Lot”, in Maine. The Salem of the Salem Witch Trials is yet another Salem in Massachusetts. The Salem in Oregon is the most benign Salem.
I have been living in Oregon for the past 30yrs after moving from London. Very cool to see you riding in my back yard. The Columbia Gorge is stunning. You were showing Mount Hood. Mount Saint Helens has had a flat top since 1980. Salem Oregon is the State capitol. Salem Massachusetts on the east coast is the one famous for the witch hunts.
Wonderful series. I haven’t watched one of your tours before, but all of the MF content is exceptional so I decided to try the first episode. I was hooked instantly! I spent a couple hours every night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yours is by far my favorite RUclips motorcycle channel, or RUclips channel of any type for that matter, and the quality of the videos is excellent. Nice to see Mrs. Flyer, she’s a peach of a gal. Looking forward to seeing next road trip.
As you say - trip of a lifetime...........till the next one :) Fantastic effort to put it all together for our enjoyment. You should do a trip Downunder, you'd love it. All the best for 2023. Cheers
Great trip guys, thanks for taking me along. I am from Vancouver BC, done most of the southern BC along with all the PNW states but done very little northward. Because of you and Itchy Boots, I fully intend to head north. Thanks again for the great videos and look forward to your next adventure…. Oh! and thanks to Mrs Flyer, my wife came on her first over night long ride on my GS and she loved it 👍👍 so we’ll be doing more 2up
Best series yet. My late Grandfather emigrated to Portland in the 70’s. One of my fondest memories is visiting him for 3 weeks as an 8yr old. An absolutely stunning part of the world. Thanks to this series, I’ve now started serious planning (and serious saving) to do this so thanks too you both for the inspiration. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it and thrilled that you fancy doing it too - it's well worth saving up for and is definately one of those trips that will stay with you forever - a brilliant thing to do!
You summed this just right, brilliant epic ride, I have enjoyed every single episode and will probably go back and watch them again, we’ll worth the price for a lifetime of memories, thank you so much for bringing us along.
This has been a fabulous series - I loved every minute of it. It felt great as I got to ride along with you and Mrs. Flyer over these same roads I know so well, through my home provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. I especially liked the last few days of the tour, as I love riding those Columbia River roads. The wind, unfortunately, never stops blowing through the Gorge, which is why it's a world leading windsurfing destination. I look forward to many more videos of yours. God Speed.
Long time watcher, first time commenting. Just wanted to say a Huge thanks to yourself for letting us join you on these trips. Absolutely Love It. Enjoy your New Years, Safe Stay. From Australia 🇦🇺👌
Thanks Andy for sharing this. The whole series has been brilliant, and we've all learnt a lot from your adventures. It's definitely made the winter pass quickly - roll on summer!
What a cracking series Andy you even had the kids coming home from school asking if you’d posted another video. Thank you and Mrs Flyer for sharing your tour. Can’t wait for the next one. Happy New Year to you both and to all the other Missenden Flyer fans.
Mr and Mrs Flyer that was an absolutely epic road trip; I watched and enjoyed every minute of it. Everything about the videos was quality. Thank you for doing and sharing - stunning!
I'm so glad that Mrs Flyer (Carol) stayed positive and up beat, and really seemed to enjoy the tour together - which is a bonus Aye Andy!! She was positive at each stop - happy to share a view of the unit, go swimming (and be filmed!) in the occasional lake or river and enjoyed the journey on the bike! Great video scenery and commentary, you really captured the road and weather conditions, the helicopter tour of the monstrous glaciers, all of the stop and see tourist bits, the excellent drone views - what can we say but excellent!! Thanks from a long way away!! Graeme NZ
Been away for Christmas and New Year so this is a bit late! Thank you Andy & Carol for sharing this superb trip with us! Brilliantly done and quality superb - really looked forward to the next episode every time. We will never know the hard work that goes into these but can guess it is immense, so thank you again - and keep them coming! Cheers Colin
Certainly an epic trip. Doing stuff like this while you're still fit and able is way more fun than having the latest greatest machinery sat in the garage. Merry Christmas to both You, Mrs Flyer and your family.
Thankyou for taking us along on this fantastic tour loved every minute of it shame it had to end, we love touring with tour company’s just makes life so much easier cant wait to get touring after watching this. Looking forward to the next Andy and Carol Trip and thank you for all the hard work you put in filming and editing😊
Wow, just finished watching this series. What an amazing trip, and incredible travelogue. I love the PNW. I downloaded the route overview from Motorrad tours and followed the route as you progressed. I have to say Mrs Flyer is an excellent co-presenter, pity we couldn’t have heard more from her on the back of the bike, but understand the reasons for that 😊. Thanks Andy!
Vista House was always the Million Dollar Outhouse growing up. Have a pic with a number of my bikes in that exact spot. That ride from the Bridge of The Gods, Old Columbia River Highway, and into town, is my commute home every chance I get in the summer. You can imagine how sketchy that bridge is in the rain on two wheels! Couple things, Mt Saint Helens has no top, so easy to spot when you see it, and sadly that is not the same Salem. That Salem is on the other coast. But our Salem can be a bit of a horror story too….lol. Absolutely loved the series, thanks for the great two wheeled content!
Dear Carole and Andy, I'm sure that it's been said many times before.... but thank you both so much for having us along for the ride 😍 Absolutely loved it, the footage was awesome and I got to enjoy the stunning scenery from the comfort of my sofa 😉 So many highlights..... couldn't tell you my favourite but the helicopter trip over the glaciers is right up there 👍 May I wish you both a Happy New Year and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us 😊 Best wishes for a fantastic 2023 Russ
As others have said, really appreciate you taking along for the ride and, (most interestingly) breaking down the costs of the trip. As you say, it is one of those once in a lifetime trips that you’ll remember forever and you can’t take your money with you so enjoy it while you can! 👍😊
Watched every episode of your trip … some more than once. You two are a dream, so polite and thoughtful, and fun. Been to Alaska many times. A place beyond description. Keep the videos coming, and God bless you.
Great stuff Andy. This entire tour is in my backyard. I've been to quite a few places you and your wife visited while on the tour. Hope you come back again.
How on earth did you shoe horn this epic tour into your schedule, so impressed with continuity of content and quality of the production. Brilliant having Mrs flyer in on the action. Thank you for this, you are a highlight on you tube as far as I am concerned.
Wow, thank you Martin that's great to hear - and glad you recognise the difficulty of doing these tours as well as keeping the content coming uninterupted - it has been (and continues to be) a very busy time in the Flyer household!!
Thanks for letting us join your fabulous trip. The scenery was beautiful. Have a Merry Christmas. Looking forward to more tours in the new year. Stay safe.
Epic series, thank you for sharing your journey. Have done a fair bit of your route many years ago so was great to see it hasn't changed too much. Looking forward to seeing where you go next. Cheers
Wow, wonderful series, spectacular scenery, I love the video quality and the editing, with the drone shots and the music, well done, and thanks for sharing your trip with us! You've definitely helped inspire me to do some long trips. Can't wait to see your next adventure...
I've watched all 23 episodes and loved them all, brilliant series , was so inspired by your tour that I visited Motorrad Tours at Motorcycle Live in November and signed up for a tour next year, met Alf while I was there (really nice chap) and had a proper chat with him about the Alaska, Canada, USA tour (and Japan) . Looking forward to seeing your next tour series.
What an epic trip!! Like you said once in a lifetime but life is for living. Not something I can do now but a seed has been planted. Great little series, looking forward to the next one. Merry Christmas
Wow you guys, that was just an awesome awesome event to watch. I was in Alaska last summer late June to mid July and it was very warm indeed as you found out. You did such a great job and it was so fun and interesting to watch all your episodes. Thanks for sharing.
Of all the series I follow and have watched this one is my personal favorite. One thing I do appreciate is how little you used music to fill parts of the video, and when you did it set the mood quite well. You're a skilled narrator and kept the videos interesting with relevant and entertaining dialogue. I'm looking forward to all future series.
Sitting here early Christmas morning waiting for the kids and grandkids to rise I had to treat myself to the final leg of your journey. Your trip does inspire one to think about doing something just like it. [if I could only convince my wife]. Waiting for the next of your tours to come out. Have enjoyed many of them as you travel the world. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife.
Fantastic series Andy made all the better with Carol being on board. You have through your eyes let many of us see a part of the World we wouldn’t have otherwise. I especially loved the southern half of the trip ie from Steward South and through Montana etc Have a Great Christmas and Best wishes to and the family for 2023
We have thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the scenery was beautiful and the camera work and commentaries superb. Such a lot of interesting things to see too, we almost felt like we were with you. Your bike tours are definitely the best by far. We look forward to the next. Thankyou for sharing.
Thank you so much for your tour videos, Andy, I really have enjoyed them. As a 'local' to the Pacific Northwest of the USA, it was wonderful to see the areas I ride through your eyes, which gave me a new found appreciation of them. Cheers!
A great end to a brilliant tour. Thanks so much for sharing it with us . Very well done to Mrs Flyer, its a long way as a pillion. Hope you and Carol have a lovely Christmas. Thank You both.
What an epic series and one I’ve been glued to. 15k sounds a lot but when you break it down and see what you guys got, it’s not that bad… still out of my price range. Absolutely fantastic series, content was the right amount and the vids bang on the money time wise! Hope to catch up at ABR if your there… will be there on my trusty GS
@@TheMissendenFlyer well, my lifestyle, family commitments and workload at the NHS means that a trip like that is a pipedream. So, it was a real pleasure to be part of your journey. It’s nice to see Carol becoming more interactive. Keep up the good work.
Happy Christmas Carole & Andy. Another fabulous film and a great way to end the year, thank you very much for having us along, always a cheery interesting and enlightening way to spend and hour - you definitely contribute to the sum of human happiness! Ride safely and here’s to another fabulous year in ‘23 cheers 🥂
The last part of the trip was very stunning with Mount Hood the canyons and very large river etc. All up a very entertaining trip with amazing varied scenery.
Absolutely can’t wait for the next one!! Thanks so much for taking me along… hope you get those shoulders feeling better!!! 🎄🎄Merry Christmas to you both 🎄🎄Safe and a Happy New Year!!
Epic. One of the top 5 motorcycle tours on RUclips that I have seen. Surely will be one of the top treasures in your video vault. Well done. Cannot wait for your tour from east to west coast of Canada ! 🙂
Wonderful trip. I am having withdrawal symptoms and I didnt even go. Well filmed and produced. I hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to more adventures in 2023.
Bravo, Carole and Andy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m shedding a tear of sadness, now that this series over. But what an Incredible edit, stunning cinematography and top class vloggage and content. 🔝🎥🎬A million thank you’s for sharing this series with us.🇨🇦🏔️🫶🏻
I hope you enjoyed our great state Oregon. To bad you didnt have more days to explore more of it. The 3 sisters mtn pass and lava beds. And Crater Lake. The clearest lake in the world. You can see the bottom over 1000 ft deep. Enjoyed your ride. Thank you.. Salem, Or. Is the capitol
I was pleased to hear you would like to come back to see more of Western Canada, Vancouver and Vancouver Island; my home turf and riding playground. There are so many more sights and wonderful motorcycling roads. I would love to show you around. I look forward to your next "epic" tour. Kind regards.🇨🇦
Yeah, my previous comments suggested riding from Portland out to the coast and up the 101, then cut in and ride up Mt Rainier, and then on up to Vancouver. It's hard to skip the highway 20 ride to Leavenworth and Wenatchee though.
I’ve enjoyed this series greatly. Thanks for taking the time and effort to stitch it all together. It’s also great to have Mrs. F’s input, too. Have a good Christmas and New Year.
I was working at the MotoQuest shop when you guys dropped the bikes off. Thought I recognized you, but was to shy to say anything. Cool to see you riding some of my local roads. Great video as always!
Great footage of Oregon, watching your video has made me want to go back and visit again. So many beautiful places there, you could make a great series on this state alone. This has been a very enjoyable series of videos, thanks for sharing your trip with us.
I watched every episode and enjoyed it immensely especially since I have been unable to ride this year due to a health issue. In particular, I appreciate the Flyer's positive attitude and curiosity. It was also interesting to hear Carol's thoughts along the way. You make a great couple. In sum, well done, then Mrs. and Mr. Flyer!
@@TheMissendenFlyer - Thank you, Sir! Today, was my first motorcycle ride since my February 22, 2022 widowmaker heart attack. I rode my S1000R to the state inspection station and back home. I am glad to report I rode as though I had never stopped riding. I enjoyed this short ride and look forward to longer rides to come! Every motorcyclist hits a detour now and again. Enjoy!
Wow Absolutely epic. I was with you (in spirit) from the start. Thank you so much for doing the trip and for sharing your experiences. Have a Happy Christmas.
I have really enjoyed these films as in the winter it does inspire me to get out on the bike as long as there's no ice of course.! The winter hasn't been to bad and getting out is a great way to get rid of winter blue's. As beauas north America is I'm happy with UK and Ireland.
Gutted this was the last one I’ve loved every minute of if,I think it’s a lot of money but worth every penny for the life time of memories your getting,looking forward to seeing what you get up to next ,happy new year to you both 👍
A great travelogue. I really enjoyed this. Particularly Alaska. What a beautiful place. My only other exposure to Alaska has been the US reality programmes, where everything looks cold and grim. Thanks for sharing with us.
The Pacific North West is definitely on my radar, looks a mind blowing place scenery wise ... I think all the northern hemisphere areas are appealing, northern reaches of the US and Canada, our very own Scotland, then Norway and Scandanavia ... there's something very soothing about big vistas, mountains, lakes rivers and forests ...
Thanks for taking us on holiday with you, felt like being there with you. Excellent 👌
Malcolm Radford
Absolutely fantastic watch everywhere you went 😊
Thank you Malcolm
Great tour Andy and Carole, I’ve been a subscriber for several years but first time I’ve watched this series…binge watched over two days of 27-33 degrees in Cambridge !
Fabulious - glad you enjoyed it and thanks for staying the course!
I'm actually sad that this series has ended, for me it's been epic on another level, I don't think £15k was too bad when you take everything into consideration, I'd like to thank both of you for taking the time to edit through that lot. Superb.
Thank you David.
What a series. THANK YOU GUYS so much. BRILLIANT, I have enjoyed every one. 😀👍
Thank you for watching Ian!
What a trip! That is really colossal mileage 2-up- great job🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Cheers Freddie - was a bit of an epic one this…the right bike for the job though…
Thanks for taking us along on your tour. Watched and loved every minute. As you said expensive but once in a lifetime. Merry Christmas to you both and all of your subscribers. Looking forward to the next tour already.
...a new your coming soon in the New Year - Happy Christmas to you too!
Alf is a brilliant guy. He was our guide on the Motorrad Tours Picos trip last year. And well done Andy, I dread to think how many hours of editing must have been involved in producing this series.
Yes Alf is a diamond isn't he....and yes, it took far longer than the actual tour to edit it!!
One word comes to mind for Carole and you Andy, "EPIC"!!! From British Columbia, thanks a million.👍😎🏍🐸
Wow, thanks!
Mr and Mrs Flyer, Just a quick message to say how much I enjoyed your adventures in Alaska and Canada and the USA.

South America is very much on the wish list - thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Sadly Just watched the last episode of your fantast trip so a big thank you to you Andy and your lovely wife Carol for taking us along beautifully filmed and narrated as you say not cheap but a once in a lifetime trip looking forward to your next trip all the best for 2023 .👍
Well done to the both of you !
I thoroughly enjoyed the series, what an epic journey that must have been together with the ‘faff’ of filming and commentary to say nothing of the associated editing process. Brilliant work.
Three weeks together and not a cross word spoken……..😉

Really enjoyed watching this tour, thanks Andy. Thanks to Carol also who was a great contributor and added another level to the experience. When they end it's sad for us as well!
Cheers catflap - glad you liked it!
Hi Andy the red car was an Oldsmobile Cutlass, had 1 back in the day 5 litre v8, great video's as always, ATB Wayne ......
Thank you for this. I somehow missed it until now. I live in Utah and own a GSA. An Alaska trip through the Yukon has been in the back of my mind from here. I'I know what to expect now. Well done.
Cool!

I’m honoured - thank you!
great trip,,,,I and my wife enjoyed every minute of the ride with you two,,,,thank you,,,,,Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful trip with us. The time and effort to film and edit such a mammoth tour must have made for very long days but it is appreciated. I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Huge thanks.
Our pleasure!
How good was that!!?? and I was only watching...........thank you so much for your filming and taking us along.....
You are so welcome!
Having watched this series of videos from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. A big thanks and well done for what you achieved.
Cheers!
Scenery improved the further you travelled and increasingly became more my cup of tea. Thanks for sharing
I did say these always get better towards the end!
Thanks, Andy and Carol for a superb series. Really appreciate all the effort you put into making videos whilst on your holidays. Looking forward to the next one.
Glad you like them!

Thats amazing! Enjoy your rides together....
Thank you so much for taking me on your tour. You do the best tours I hope to take future tours with you (on RUclips).
Stay tuned for another tour soon in the New Year!

Wow thanks Peter - what took you so long!? Happy New Year….
Well done Andy.must have taken loads of effort to produce this series. A real eye opener.i felt I was there with you.thanks.
So glad you said that - that is my aim, thanks for watching!
Thanks Andy for sharing this. The whole series has been brilliant, and we've all learnt a lot from your adventures. It's definitely made the winter pass quickly - roll on summer!
Amen to that!
What a cracking series Andy you even had the kids coming home from school asking if you’d posted another video. Thank you and Mrs Flyer for sharing your tour.

Thank you for all the kind words Graeme - much appreciated and Happy New Year!
Been away for Christmas and New Year so this is a bit late! Thank you Andy & Carol for sharing this superb trip with us! Brilliantly done and quality superb - really looked forward to the next episode every time. We will never know the hard work that goes into these but can guess it is immense, so thank you again - and keep them coming! Cheers Colin
Our pleasure!
Certainly an epic trip. Doing stuff like this while you're still fit and able is way more fun than having the latest greatest machinery sat in the garage.
Merry Christmas to both You, Mrs Flyer and your family.
You too Richard!
Thankyou for taking us along on this fantastic tour loved every minute of it shame it had to end, we love touring with tour company’s just makes life so much easier cant wait to get touring after watching this. Looking forward to the next Andy and Carol Trip and thank you for all the hard work you put in filming and editing😊
Our pleasure Steve - a new tour coming soon!
Wow, just finished watching this series. What an amazing trip, and incredible travelogue. I love the PNW. I downloaded the route overview from Motorrad tours and followed the route as you progressed. I have to say Mrs Flyer is an excellent co-presenter, pity we couldn’t have heard more from her on the back of the bike, but understand the reasons for that 😊. Thanks Andy!
So glad you enjoyed the series and thanks for coming along with us!
Enjoyed (virtually) travelling with you both across. Been a great series- looking forward to the next one 🏍
Vista House was always the Million Dollar Outhouse growing up. Have a pic with a number of my bikes in that exact spot. That ride from the Bridge of The Gods, Old Columbia River Highway, and into town, is my commute home every chance I get in the summer. You can imagine how sketchy that bridge is in the rain on two wheels!
Couple things, Mt Saint Helens has no top, so easy to spot when you see it, and sadly that is not the same Salem. That Salem is on the other coast. But our Salem can be a bit of a horror story too….lol.
Absolutely loved the series, thanks for the great two wheeled content!
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Dear Carole and Andy, I'm sure that it's been said many times before.... but thank you both so much for having us along for the ride 😍
Absolutely loved it, the footage was awesome and I got to enjoy the stunning scenery from the comfort of my sofa 😉
So many highlights..... couldn't tell you my favourite but the helicopter trip over the glaciers is right up there 👍
May I wish you both a Happy New Year and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us 😊
Best wishes for a fantastic 2023
Russ
Thank you Russ - that's very kind of you to say! All the best for '23!!
Greetings from Idaho! Really enjoyed this series and especially your sense of humor. Very well done! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
As others have said, really appreciate you taking along for the ride and, (most interestingly) breaking down the costs of the trip. As you say, it is one of those once in a lifetime trips that you’ll remember forever and you can’t take your money with you so enjoy it while you can! 👍😊
Watched every episode of your trip … some more than once. You two are a dream, so polite and thoughtful, and fun.
Been to Alaska many times. A place beyond description. Keep the videos coming, and God bless you.
Great stuff Andy. This entire tour is in my backyard. I've been to quite a few places you and your wife visited while on the tour. Hope you come back again.
So do we - great place to ride!
How on earth did you shoe horn this epic tour into your schedule, so impressed with continuity of content and quality of the production. Brilliant having Mrs flyer in on the action. Thank you for this, you are a highlight on you tube as far as I am concerned.
Wow, thank you Martin that's great to hear - and glad you recognise the difficulty of doing these tours as well as keeping the content coming uninterupted - it has been (and continues to be) a very busy time in the Flyer household!!
Thanks for letting us join your fabulous trip. The scenery was beautiful. Have a Merry Christmas. Looking forward to more tours in the new year. Stay safe.
Epic series, thank you for sharing your journey. Have done a fair bit of your route many years ago so was great to see it hasn't changed too much. Looking forward to seeing where you go next. Cheers
Wow, wonderful series, spectacular scenery, I love the video quality and the editing, with the drone shots and the music, well done, and thanks for sharing your trip with us! You've definitely helped inspire me to do some long trips. Can't wait to see your next adventure...
I've watched all 23 episodes and loved them all, brilliant series , was so inspired by your tour that I visited Motorrad Tours at Motorcycle Live in November and signed up for a tour next year, met Alf while I was there (really nice chap) and had a proper chat with him about the Alaska, Canada, USA tour (and Japan) . Looking forward to seeing your next tour series.
I hope you mentioned my name??
@@TheMissendenFlyer I did indeed talk at length with Alf about you Andy (it was all good)
I loved this series. Plenty of familiar roads for this British Columbian. Thank you both for inviting all of us along for the ride.
What an epic trip!! Like you said once in a lifetime but life is for living. Not something I can do now but a seed has been planted.
Great little series, looking forward to the next one. Merry Christmas
Wow you guys, that was just an awesome awesome event to watch. I was in Alaska last summer late June to mid July and it was very warm indeed as you found out. You did such a great job and it was so fun and interesting to watch all your episodes. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
A great Moto adventure definitely! Thanks for letting us tag along with you and Mrs Flyer.
Best wishes to you and the Flyer's for the festive season. Thanks again for fabulous content throughout '22.
Same to you!
Of all the series I follow and have watched this one is my personal favorite. One thing I do appreciate is how little you used music to fill parts of the video, and when you did it set the mood quite well. You're a skilled narrator and kept the videos interesting with relevant and entertaining dialogue. I'm looking forward to all future series.
Wow, thank you very much!
Really enjoyed watching the whole tour Andy & Carol, thanks for the entertainment.
Mark. 😀🏍
Glad you enjoyed it
Sitting here early Christmas morning waiting for the kids and grandkids to rise I had to treat myself to the final leg of your journey. Your trip does inspire one to think about doing something just like it. [if I could only convince my wife]. Waiting for the next of your tours to come out. Have enjoyed many of them as you travel the world. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife.
Fantastic series Andy made all the better with Carol being on board.
You have through your eyes let many of us see a part of the World we wouldn’t have otherwise.
I especially loved the southern half of the trip ie from Steward South and through Montana etc
Have a Great Christmas and Best wishes to and the family for 2023
A great series guys - Thank you for sharing! The views and experience captured well.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching!
We have thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the scenery was beautiful and the camera work and commentaries superb. Such a lot of interesting things to see too, we almost felt like we were with you. Your bike tours are definitely the best by far. We look forward to the next. Thankyou for sharing.
Thank you!
The price shocked me actually. But as you said, once in a lifetime. Awesome trip and really enjoyed your series. Happy new year!
I'm wondering how much you thought staying abroad in hotels for a month with bike hire costs!! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
Thank you for a great series Andy! Loved the tour and all of the scenery!
Glad to hear that Bob!
Fabulous trip you took us all on. Fantastic scenery. Can’t wait until the next one!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your tour videos, Andy, I really have enjoyed them. As a 'local' to the Pacific Northwest of the USA, it was wonderful to see the areas I ride through your eyes, which gave me a new found appreciation of them. Cheers!
A great end to a brilliant tour. Thanks so much for sharing it with us . Very well done to Mrs Flyer, its a long way as a pillion.
Hope you and Carol have a lovely Christmas. Thank You both.
What an epic series and one I’ve been glued to. 15k sounds a lot but when you break it down and see what you guys got, it’s not that bad… still out of my price range. Absolutely fantastic series, content was the right amount and the vids bang on the money time wise! Hope to catch up at ABR if your there… will be there on my trusty GS
I shall be there - I shall look out for a fella on a GS then.....do say hello if you see me first!
Thanks for the opportunity of enjoying that tour with you. Superb!
Thank you for joining us....
@@TheMissendenFlyer well, my lifestyle, family commitments and workload at the NHS means that a trip like that is a pipedream. So, it was a real pleasure to be part of your journey. It’s nice to see Carol becoming more interactive.
Keep up the good work.
Probably your best series yet,thanks for sharing the adventure! Merry Christmas
Happy Christmas Carole & Andy. Another fabulous film and a great way to end the year, thank you very much for having us along, always a cheery interesting and enlightening way to spend and hour - you definitely contribute to the sum of human happiness! Ride safely and here’s to another fabulous year in ‘23 cheers 🥂
Wow thank you very much!
The last part of the trip was very stunning with Mount Hood the canyons and very large river etc. All up a very entertaining trip with amazing varied scenery.
Thank you!
Absolutely can’t wait for the next one!!
Thanks so much for taking me along… hope you get those shoulders feeling better!!!
🎄🎄Merry Christmas to you both 🎄🎄Safe and a Happy New Year!!
And to you Tom!
Epic. One of the top 5 motorcycle tours on RUclips that I have seen. Surely will be one of the top treasures in your video vault. Well done. Cannot wait for your tour from east to west coast of Canada ! 🙂
Wonderful trip. I am having withdrawal symptoms and I didnt even go. Well filmed and produced. I hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to more adventures in 2023.
Stay tuned - another tour coming soon!
Trip of a lifetime, I enjoyed coming along for the ride.
Thankyou for taking us along on this journey! I loved every minute of if!
Our pleasure!
Bravo, Carole and Andy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m shedding a tear of sadness, now that this series over. But what an Incredible edit, stunning cinematography and top class vloggage and content. 🔝🎥🎬A million thank you’s for sharing this series with us.🇨🇦🏔️🫶🏻
Fantastic adventure Andy, good job the old arthritis didn't cause any problems 👍
Beautiful day! I remember seeing the falls as a youngster on a family road trip in 1958.
I hope you enjoyed our great state Oregon. To bad you didnt have more days to explore more of it. The 3 sisters mtn pass and lava beds. And Crater Lake. The clearest lake in the world. You can see the bottom over 1000 ft deep. Enjoyed your ride. Thank you.. Salem, Or. Is the capitol
I was pleased to hear you would like to come back to see more of Western Canada, Vancouver and Vancouver Island; my home turf and riding playground. There are so many more sights and wonderful motorcycling roads. I would love to show you around. I look forward to your next "epic" tour. Kind regards.🇨🇦
I was just thinking about that area. Base your self somewhere central on Vancouver island and go from there.
Yeah, my previous comments suggested riding from Portland out to the coast and up the 101, then cut in and ride up Mt Rainier, and then on up to Vancouver. It's hard to skip the highway 20 ride to Leavenworth and Wenatchee though.
I’ve enjoyed this series greatly. Thanks for taking the time and effort to stitch it all together. It’s also great to have Mrs. F’s input, too. Have a good Christmas and New Year.
Great tour, leaving Anchorage and going up the Parks Highway to Fairbanks then down to Tok would be my preferred viewing route.
I was working at the MotoQuest shop when you guys dropped the bikes off. Thought I recognized you, but was to shy to say anything. Cool to see you riding some of my local roads. Great video as always!
Oh wow fantastic! Such a shame you didn’t say hello, would’ve boosted my credibility no end with the rest of the tour!!!
Great footage of Oregon, watching your video has made me want to go back and visit again. So many beautiful places there, you could make a great series on this state alone. This has been a very enjoyable series of videos, thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Thanks for riding along!
I watched every episode and enjoyed it immensely especially since I have been unable to ride this year due to a health issue. In particular, I appreciate the Flyer's positive attitude and curiosity. It was also interesting to hear Carol's thoughts along the way. You make a great couple. In sum, well done, then Mrs. and Mr. Flyer!
Thank you John and I hope your health situation improves....all the best!
@@TheMissendenFlyer - Thank you, Sir! Today, was my first motorcycle ride since my February 22, 2022 widowmaker heart attack. I rode my S1000R to the state inspection station and back home. I am glad to report I rode as though I had never stopped riding. I enjoyed this short ride and look forward to longer rides to come! Every motorcyclist hits a detour now and again. Enjoy!
Wow Absolutely epic. I was with you (in spirit) from the start.
Thank you so much for doing the trip and for sharing your experiences. Have a Happy Christmas.
Our pleasure and same to you!
Amazing. Enjoyed every minute of your tour videos. Happy Christmas and happy new year
I have really enjoyed these films as in the winter it does inspire me to get out on the bike as long as there's no ice of course.! The winter hasn't been to bad and getting out is a great way to get rid of winter blue's. As beauas north America is I'm happy with UK and Ireland.
Gutted this was the last one I’ve loved every minute of if,I think it’s a lot of money but worth every penny for the life time of memories your getting,looking forward to seeing what you get up to next ,happy new year to you both 👍
Thank you Happy New Year to you too…
A great travelogue. I really enjoyed this. Particularly Alaska. What a beautiful place. My only other exposure to Alaska has been the US reality programmes, where everything looks cold and grim. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for filming this trip. Really enjoyed it a lot 😊
The Pacific North West is definitely on my radar, looks a mind blowing place scenery wise ... I think all the northern hemisphere areas are appealing, northern reaches of the US and Canada, our very own Scotland, then Norway and Scandanavia ... there's something very soothing about big vistas, mountains, lakes rivers and forests ...
