Honda VT750 Shadow Spirit Barden Tower to Pateley Bridge The scenic route 5th March 2024

In "Part One" a rare break in the weather saw a little sunshine and blue skies so I was out on the Fox to explore another 'new to me' lane in the Dales... but first lunch and an offer of assistance to a fellow biker.

    Morning Foxy 😊 well this is just the carrot I need backs well on the mend, so no excuse not to come out and play, and so Kwikfit should have job well done on your part 👍 Brownie points for the Thruxton Venom Velocette photo 😊

    Morning Andy, thanks but the sound quality wasn’t too good as I’d moved the mic to try and get it out of shot. I’ve since moved it back and I’ll start editing our ride out next week. Hopefully it’ll sound better. 👍

    A really enjoyable run out Nick and so pleased you got sorted over KwikFit. That Route 59 café does figure large in both yours and James's videos 😂. Your Scottish plans sound great so there's going to be some fine videos from you next winter I think 👍

    Cheers Peter, we do seem to use that cafe quite a lot don’t we. It’s a perfect spot as a starting point for rides into the Dales. And the breakfasts there are always good. 👍

    Cheers Derek. That chap was telling me it was his first outing since the winter. I’m guessing he didn’t have a charger. 👍

    It’s a fantastic trip around Scotland just take your waterproof clothes and your Keis jacket I know that sounds odd but we had Sleet in late May 🥶I would be interested in the Yorkshire stuff if you do it Would love to see Scotland again I keep thinking about it 😊

    Good news on the quick fit saga. Cool, you’re a coming to Scotland. Ullapool is my go to place. (Don’t go to the Seaforth, it’s £££. No locals go there, or their chippy) West coast is far more beautiful and scenic than east coast! Am hoping to go go up this summer, as I know a lot of the locals, and tour areas from Ullapool. Wednesday, The Johnny Cash Duo, play the Caledonian on a Wednesday. Calum got a Harley. He is in my bumpy video, going up the Belach Na Ba.😊

    Hi thanks for the chippy tip. We’ll find somewhere else. We’re taking a Route from Ullapool through Altnaharra and on to Thruso which should take in a good chunk of the highlands. Doing the full NC500 would have been great but time limitations mean we can’t as my sons have to be back to work. 👍

    @@thesilverfoxtravels6653 when you planning on going, if decent I could travel the 4 hours up. The road to Durness is fantastic. You’re missing out the best scenery on That route. I would do it from east coast to west. Just my personal opinion. Am near Stonehaven.

    @@weemark67 We’re going on the 6th July. We’ve did the east coast a few years ago and it was spectacular. But even though we have a week up there we are a bit on the clock because of their work commitments. I on the other hand am retired and there’s nothing to say I couldn’t go and do the whole thing another time. 👍

    I wonder if they made a mistake and the complaints department sorted it or (here's my cynical side) that they do it every time knowing that most people won't complain. Handy to have the mechanic on hand at the cafe 😀 Barden Tower is on my drone list.

    If only I could get my thumbs to coordinate properly I’d have a drone too but the last one I tried to fly ended up lodged in a bush..! 🤣🤣 The tower and bridge would make excellent footage. 👍
