That was fabulous Dave. It was a carbon copy of the sort of rides I do, on my Halcyon grey here in South Gippsland Aus. Thanks to you, Worro and Stuart, for helping provide the motivation to buy mine. These bikes are magic. Well, for an old bloke anyway. 😄

Good onya Gaza, I'm sure you'll get lots of enjoyment out of the RE 350; if the number after your tag's correct I've got six years on you and I'm still riding (Guzzi Breva 750). I'm on the other side of the island, so long straight roads here, but where you are has some great roads. Back in the '80's - RD250 and Kwaka Z750 - I'd get down to East Gippsland, the Dandenongs and the Black Spur; some great riding roads!

You can find petrol at Bellingham Dave - not that it is much use to you now, some months later. The forest road is great. I once went up there for a ride from Newcastle before I moved out here, and when I got there, there was a notice saying the road was closed for military exercises. It is all part of the Reidsdale military range. Of course, having ridden up there for about forty miles, I just ignored the sign and then, about a quarter of the way along, I came across a mock battle with about twenty guys all cammoed up assaulting the road and rampaging into the forest on the other side firing their SA80s (blanks of course - they all had yellow clips on the muzzles. Fair frightened the life out of me. Serves me right for acting like King of the Pirates and taking no notice of the sign. Nobody bothered me. I often ride in the forest. It is absolutely massive. Runs from Hadrian's Wall all the way up and over the Scottish Border. Great video. Loved the bits where all you could hear was wind and a few tiny birds. I have spent countless hours wandering these forests over the last fifty years spent many a night camping out in bothies or just a bivy bag on the ground.

Really enjoyed watching today's ride. Man and machine. Love it.

Fantastic scenery. Amazing roads.

Splendocious scenery, and a history lesson to boot! Cheers Dave, From ALL here in Malta, our 6 week "winter" has begun, down to 18c daytime and 14c nighttime, and forecast is for rain on and off all week, BUGGER!

I know we is lucky, that's why we NOW live here, just keeping Dave in the loop as we do frequently, yes we realise it was July' before Ivy was stolen.@@Tonyv1951

Cracking video that, what a great road to ride seems like it goes on forever! Enjoyed that cheers Dave👍

Great ride that Dave, just great rumbling along at a leisurely pace , can't beat it , I was out around Derbyshire yesterday first decent day without rain for a while, it was great to get out , now that I've got my Lomo bags on I can start carrying some brew gear and snacks with a camping chair to enjoy a brew with the views as well , Cheers Mel .

One of the ways your videos are better than others is how you explain the areas The trivia about the timber needed between the wars is an example I’ll probably never go to these places so I really appreciate you explaining things like that Thanks

Just the ticket, lovely ride out, I’ve got a meths cookset for breaks when out on my 350 classic, only the folding chair was missing there Dave 👍🏻

Bang 20sec into the video, 👍a like. Always a great video. Keep them coming. So great to be out on the bike.

Amazing solitude there Dave you,ll be wishing you had bought a Himalayan instead of another 350 lol. Ride safe Martin

Terrific! Thank you for sharing. My Hunter 350 is raring to go...

A realy nice bike. I wohnt to buy the same in green ...

I find it humorous how you let a little grunt getting on and off your bike, I’m in my seventies and do the same. How did I get old so soon?

What a great ride on Ivy. Beautiful scenery, fresh air, sunshine and silence. The only thing that broke the silence was the gentle throb of Ivy's engine making a soundtrack to complete such a wonderful ride. Thank you for another great video.

Lovely place keilder, but man I got eaten alive by midges when I stayed there a few years ago.

Yes - they are only alive for a few weeks but man when they are, it is best to stay away.

Im Just 41 but i love it how smooth it rides on Videos, i hope it do the same When i Rede it

That looks a big area, can I ask what your cooking setup is as I don’t know what to buy ? You had a good day for it 😊👍🏍️

Is ivy getting a bit too confident 🫢

Thanks for a great video, Dave - what views. Yep, idiot drivers in every country wanting you to go faster. I do have one question, “was it a real Cornish Pasty? Made in Cornwall?” 😂😂

b there 4 legged hairy things what lives in that forest there?

Do't show your licence plate on KZread, from that they can find slot of info. Your Royal Enfield replacement.

Surely that address database is only available to the cops and very few others and only then when on actual police business. The filth who stole Dave's bike and deliberately destroyed it, didn't need a number plate to get hold of it.
