I have been riding since 1990 and have never owned a car. After 2 really difficult years, with a marriage breakdown and then family illness and bereavement I am now finding my way back. I haven't ridden for the joy of riding, for some time. I sold my Shadow 1100 and bought a Scram 411 to commute on. Now I am just waiting for the sale of a house to go through and then I will have funds for a second bike. I haven't been to Yorkshire or Cumbria, both places that I love, for so many years. I feel that a trip on the new bike will be comfort for my soul. Great upload!

Really sorry to hear of that string of bad luck and I hope you can bounce back soon…..a good ride out will help 👍🏻

Following my heart attack in May and a stent procedure I've not had my GoldStar out yet this year but watching your videos of roads and places I've been to, so often, really cheers me up. It's the drugs they put you on that make you feel different and until I get used to them my GoldStar stays in the garage I'm afraid.

Nice one Dave just goes to show how you don't need words less is more sometimes 🇬🇧

Utterly fantastic. Thank you for the video!

I find the instrument cluster on that bike quite fascinating, it's the little indicator wings... it's such a simple thing, but just adds a certain... Non so cosa. I was going to say, je ne sais quoi... but it's an Italian bike. 🕊

Beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing. Might I suggest a separate audio recorder in a place near the exhaust, where it doesn't pick up wind noise? Personally I've fitted some kind of muffler to the gopro, but it's not perfect. Greetings from the Gäuboden!

Must be real nice riding up there

Rolling hills and Green fields, Dry stone walls and sheep peacefully grazing. Two motorcycles, cruising the idilic English countryside. For we older bikers it doesn't get much better than that does it Dave. The Guzzi has a lovely relaxed sonorous engine beat doesn't it. The thing l miss riding here in Spain is the lack of places to stop and stare....lay-bys/view points are thin on the ground. ..at least in the Valencia/Murcia region where l do most of my ''Go for a Ride'' ...On the plus side our roads are far superior making for a less 'jarring' ride. A couple of weeks back l said that the neck camera mount was a great alternative to a helmet chin mount. But it appears less easy to maintain a level horizon. Its not until you view the footage when it becomes apparent.. However, that point aside l enjoy my early morning rides across the Yorkshire Moors... Your fortunate to have such a beautiful area to ''Go for a Ride'' on your doorstep...

Cheers Brian on that video I’d forgotten the securing strap so the mount was askew and a bit jerky. It’s now perfect and better than helmet mount. Yes those pastoral scenes are quintessential England 😊

Great videos. I am about to look at a Honda NT700V in order to get back into it. My last bike was a Honda Blackbird but I am 67 years old now. . Having not had a bike for a couple of years I will be Taking it Easy to begin with for sure. Thanks for uploading.

Its a nice route that one! Done it myself a few times in last couple of years. Incidentally, when you said "further edification" you reminded me of the late Brian Glover in his role in Alien 3, uncanny voice match 👍. Looking forward to the next video.

Ah the man Glover…..South Yorkshire accent that though…..great actor….American Werewolf in London 😊

Great ride again, Dave! I was out on my '05 Guzzi 750 Breva yesterday. Called in at my local Guzzi & Suzuki dealer here in Perth (Rick Gill M/c) and he asked how I like the Breva. We agreed that, like all Guzzi bikes, it has that undefinable 'character.' Yes, it's definitely old school and it vibrates a little bit, though it's never unpleasant and the gearbox can sometimes find a spare neutral, but I've found that's more down to me being lazy, rather than the fault of the 'box itself. Does the bike put a smile on my face? Yes, indeed, every time I ride it! 👍

I do love the Breva and the Griso…..works of art

Nice video

Sublime 🏍👍

Bloomin' lovely 😁

Big sky country

Guzzi love 🥰

More wonderful scenery and roads to take you through it. The road from Hawes to Buckden is one of my favourites, dropping down from the open landscape at Fleet Moss into the confines of Langstrothdale and following the River Wharfe to Buckden is a very special riding experience. Thanks Dave.

I currently have analysis paralysis between buying a Moto Guzzi V7 Special and a Triumph Speed Twin 900

Road test and keep road testing until you know the answer. But also check out servicing costs.

The guy l do most of my riding with owns a 900 Speed Twin. He loves the bike. Having said that l love the lazy sonorous beat of Dave's Guzzi' V-twin....The agony of choice!..

I am biased as I bought the Moto guzzi & am well pleased with it & it’s different & certainly stands out in the crowd, don’t think I would part with it to be honest

👏😌 Excellent Dave. Regards, Mo 😊👍

Sorry mate, that's made up my mind. I'm coming to Yorkshire. It's actually closer to me than the Scottish Highlands and is every bit as, and perhaps more beautiful.

Hi Dave, good morning from Norfolk. What a wonderful ride, breathtaking. I had to re-wind to make out where we lost your sidekick on the Triumph, i think it was just after Appersett (video 5.13) is that correct? Towards the end of the ride you were, it appeared, to be hitting some rough roads! How is the Guzzi on roads like that from a comfort standpoint. Always great to watch your videos, thank you for posting. Be safe. Regards, Roy.

Hi Roy yes Andy let me go up front after Appersett……the bikes is fine on rough roads it’s just that I forgot the securing strap for the camera mount 😂

Somewhere in your aerodynamic configuration is something that whistles at 43 mph and above. Surprised you didn’t spot it in the edit.

A least the recent fault that resulted in the continuously flashing green light, has disappeared.

Any chance you could share the routes of these rides you do? As in GPX files. I'm from South Yorkshire (Barnsley) and I'd love to explore these roads along with my son. You obviously know the area really well so here's hoping you can! Failing that if you could supply road number/names I could plan them myself. Cheers
