Kawasaki ER-6n Review and Peak District Ride

My thoughts on the Kawasaki ER-6n motorcycle and a exhilarating ride in the Peak District near Sheffield. Great roads and fantastic views.

    Hi Pat, I only came across your videos last week and can't stop watching them, I'm working my way through them bit by bit, brilliant commentary and knowledge and excellent footage on your own. I'm into exploring, photography, and own an old Sierra cosworth which is great fun and a Honda cbr 600. You are a breath of fresh air from all the reality programs and rubbish on TV, extremely watchable and natural. Thankyou for your time making the videos and the brilliant editing. Would enjoy a pint in the pub with you but I'm 90 miles from peak district. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

I have to thank you for this upload as being Preston based I tend to ride Yorkshire and the Dales of Yorkshire and the Lake District too. This upload of yours has got me thinking about riding the Peak District because those views are just something else ( beautiful) so having my bike serviced this week and the weather looking promising for next week, it will be a 6.am start from Preston and the Peak District it is. Many thanks Pat for this 👍🏻

I can tell you had the instinct for video production even in your early days but have refined your skills greatly, since. I admire your supple mind which is not afraid to keep learning. Easy on the firewater and keep that fine mind nimble. Hope you are doing well navigating clear of the pandemic. I see your pub video is at 98k views. That is due to your great skills as a natural engineer and not so much due to your swallowing skills. 😉 Take care.

You have inspired me to go camping again after at least 28 years away from it. I've bought some new gear apart from my 1980's tent and camped on the Isle of Wight with my border collie in 2020 - great fun. Would you tell me how to wild camp - do you have to get permission or is it a case of no mess, no damage, no problem? Take care and keep safe.

I live in the IOM and brought my bike over to stay at Upper booth camp site near Edale. It was May last year and it was nice and quiet.Fell in love with the area and will definitely come back. I walked to the Middletons farm from the TV series. Please do more bike vids. I have also camped near Carsington Water a couple of years ago on my bike and did some fly fishing. Went walking there too and came across a quiet village with a very old pub where all the beer was served direct from the barrel!!

A few times when I tried to park at Edale they were filming for the Village TV series, whether it will continue I,am not sure. I have been to a couple of very old pubs in area, Three stags Head at Wardlow Mires is like going back 100 years and the one you mention might be the Yew Tree Inn at Couldon which again is like going back in time as pub is full of old gear pianos farm machinery.

    Hi Pat, I'm really enjoying the videos and this one took me by surprise as I didn't expect a bike review. I did spot your ER6n though - on part 1 of the portaledge video ;-) The ER6 range of bikes are excellent, I had a 2007 Versys 650 a few years ago and it was excellent. I've had loads of bikes since including a couple of BMWs and a Harley but recently I've settled on a Yamaha tracer 700 which is also a parallel twin. I must say, 650cc and around 70bhp is ideal for what they call "real world" biking. It's plenty and the weight is about right too. I've got myself into a pickle a few times with the bigger bikes when the inevitable manhandling is required. Keep doing the vids. Thank you, they are both informative and very entertaining. I must get the tent down out of the loft this spring and see what condition it's in. I must get out on a wild camp this year - probably using the bike to get into the peak district.

Not yer usual, and no worse for it too, pal. Looks like it was a very calm day, the steam rising in the distance over Sheffax way going straight up- do you know from whence it comes? (I know it ain't Wards brewery! Or, God forbid, Stones or Whitbread!). When I lived in Manchester, I used to just jump on my bike and head east, just for the fun of it, no real destination, but usually having a look at bits the railway used to take me whilst at work, to see from the other side of the fence, like. Also, many a pub stop was made, most of the pubs having gone now....... Happy memories made, should have taken more pics when I had the gear and time. Especially when there was still industry and we still made stuff. I love the industrial landscape more than the countryside, TBH, but it's gone, and now the green stuff appeals as well, so thats OK then, lol. Also the roads were quieter and less stressful too and not as many idiots on them. Or speed cameras. Or traffic calming. Or 101 other modern measures to take the gloss of it.Dig the Capri too, mate. BITD I hated them, but not now- I could live with one for sure. bet you wish you still had it in the garage? Ah well,,,,, where's me mop an' bucket..............!

    It must be great fun riding your bike in the summer around the peak district. I can imagine alot of people losing their back ends in the day as most cars were rwd. The Cat and Fiddle is one hell of a road for bends and is the Cat and Fiddle inn is popular with bikers. That's the most dangerous road in the UK.

    Michael Langley it was the best road until the crappy average 50mph cameras dropped in, hopefully the same doesn’t happen to snake pass

    Depends on your driving style Steady driving open roads about 60 mpg. Round town more like 50 mpg. But I like the bike for riding not necessary mpg, thanks Pat

    Hi Patrick Revisited this video. Nice run. Just bought myself a second hand Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 twin modern classic! At 68 I’m a born again biker ha ha! Sold my last bike in 2007 which was a Kwak and had a 15 year gap. Good to be back on two wheels 👍 Do you still have your bike?

    Sounds good your back on a bike, like all good hobbies you can leave it, then return. I sold my bike couple of years ago, just wasn't using it, payed for my drone and few other things, may return one year...... thanks Pat

    Didn't notice this until now. Nice bike. I have a Yamaha SR myself. An old school low power air cooled kickstart, but with electronic ignition and fuel injection. I like a bike that's pleasant to ride at slow speed on small country roads like that. And no fairings or windshield, they cause baffle. My car doesn't get much kilometers between april and october :-)

    I know what you mean, speed is not everything, just gentle riding through the countryside is the best way to ride. Maybe out on my bike tomorrow, all the best Pat

    Which one were you, Bodie or Doyle? I can remember clearly a mate of mine at college in the 1980s giving me a ride in his 2.8 injection Capri up and over Ditching Beacon in East Sussex. It was a fast car, well he drove it fast. Nice bike. You must make more films with it. Thanks for making and posting.

    Hi Kevin yes don,t use the bike so much now I think the new interest and challenge of taking the test attracted me at the time. Still have my bike and every so often go for a run round the lanes of Derbyshire, thanks pat
