Both Ivy and the Sycamore gone since the summer! Can't believe it and I was there about the same time. But we must keep moving forwards mustn't we. Keep them coming matey 👍

It would’ve be nice to see the campsite and your tent set up incorporated into this upload 🤷🏻‍♂️. Looks a great area to explore though, might ride up there mesel in 2024 as it looks just my type place to explore 👌

the Sycamore is the perfect metaphor for the state of the country. Just relieved the country there isn't covered in windmills. Just beautiful.

The Border Region is very attractive, with wonderful views. Many thanks for posting this. 👍👍

Love those roads on my motorbike. ...Once took off on my pushbike over that humpy bridge, coming the opposite way.

The wall starts at Bowness on Solway, quite near where I live, although there are various mile castles part the way down the coast.

Amazing views and informational vid.well done look forward for the nxt great vid.👏👏👍🏍

I ride these roads all the time. Great to see them in summer on this January Saturday. The road you described as 'epic' gets even more epic after the point where you turned around. Never mind, there is plenty of lovely scenery and empty roads up here.

Just the tonic I needed as the rain and wind continues. Looking forward to being a bit warm in motorcycle gear! 😎

Life truly begins at 35 - - - mph.!! Lol. Great video. 👍👍5🏍🙋‍♂️

You need good old fashioned crash bars on your bike. You never get lost on a bike, you are just finding new roads. The bulls are saying Look at the man on the funny looking horse.😂😂

I don't think they were bulls, actually.

Just can’t wait for rides on new bike. Watching these episodes of the summer rides brings great memories. Roll on your May retirement and summer trips. Best wishes for 2024.

A lovely girl that Ivy! 😄 Thanks for your video, thats the sort of bike and riding I would love. I just need to scrape some funds together. Good to hear that it's ok kept in a cover outside with a bit of care, as I don't have a garage unfortunately. It's great to know that in this day and age you can still have the enjoyment of a brilliant simple bike to go on adventures like this, and it's so cheap to run and reliable. It's like holding on to something good from a bygone age 😎

Great video Dave, it is beautiful scenery, I am fortunate to have retired there, in fact if you had stuck your hand out as you rode through Whitfield I could have put a cup of coffee in it. BTW. The wall starts at Bowness on Solway. Really enjoying mate, keep them coming.

The perfect bike for those roads , since I retired it's a great enjoyable freedom to just get on my Classic 350 chuck some sarnies and a flask in my bags and clear off up the hills.. 🙌 Have a good new year Cheers Mel 🍻

Always nice enjoyable videos!

You can drive a tank over a Roman bridge. They're so well constructed.

All the best for the New Year and some new adventures 😀

Fico Feliz em assistir vídeos com a minha MOTO ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 350cc Halcyon Black, tenho esse mesmo modelo de Moto, ELA É MUITO LINDA

Another wonderful ride and the Sycamore was a beautiful sight, such a shame it was felled by some idiot. The views of the wall were spectacular. 👍

Yeah - we know who they are. Shame the police seem to be finding it hard to get them.

I’m lucky enough to live in the area covered in this brilliant video. I’m happy to say that these are my usual riding routes. Wishing all of you a happy and peaceful New Year.

Me too Keith. I'm wondering if you are one of the 'Biker Keith's' I know.... I'm thinking of Bardon Mill Keith - just a guess. :)))

Ah - that's fine. :))) There are a couple or three Biker Keith's live around the Bardon Mill / Haltwhistle area which is my home turf since I moved. Loved to see the area so well shown on here. Mind how you go mate.... @@keithallan8200

It's a bit hard to accept two things from this video are no more because of the actions of idiots. Anyway that was as always a cracking video with some lovely little back lanes and a decent bit of weather. Have you managed to take the new bike for a ride yet? Hopefully so. Wishing you all the very best and hopefully see you soon 👍

BOOTIFUL! Never got that far north in the old country, you have a habit of making us wish we had! HAPPY New year, from Malta Crew.

You picked some more cracking roads there Dave beautiful scenery and so peaceful. Such a travesty when the sycamore got cut down earlier this year a true act of vandalism very sad. Happy New Year mate plenty to look forward to cannot wait for your"first ride"video although the way our Yorkshire weather is fairing it may be a while lol. All the best Martin

You didn’t show us your tent !

Beautiful lanes to explore , it’s awful those two men chopping that tree down , they are evil. It’s amazing how many b😢views you have in that part of the country , who needs Europe 😊

How do the gated roads work? Gates in the States mean private property.

@gillianstapleton7741

Usually, it means that the public road is passing through a farm and the gates are there to keep the grazing livestock contained. The rider or driver is under obligation to close the gates after themselves, go carefully and watch out for the farm animals. I went through one today in Derbyshire.

@gillianstapleton7741 ahh. Ok, makes sense. Public roads here would just divide the private field.

All those 350 should be 500 and that would give them the HP they need. Wouldn't be too hard to do at factory level. A little bit more grunt wouldn't hurt.

The fact that they are only 20 hp is stopping from buying one! I had a GSX250 in 1980 that had 29 hp. I think 35 hp for safety sake is the minimum where I live in west Kent.
