  Great vlog buddy was a pleasure to take the trip with you. Most enjoyable. I've done these roads with my better half by car, but never on the bike. As yet ..... Awesome part of the planet. Must say. You're a brave soul doing the trip in winter. But nice and quiet though.... Bonus Shiny side up brother .... 🫡

  @neilmackinnon33712 ай бұрын

  You can tell that you are riding out of season.... because the viewing points and lay by's are not full of camper vans. Wherever there is an amazing vista or a view that deserves a photograph, you can be sure there will be a camper van parked right in the middle of it with someone enjoying a leisurely cup of tea / lunch and in no hurry to leave... I mean, look at that view! Brilliant trip, thanks for taking us along. P.s. there is more of a chance of finding petrol in the Highlands than there is in North Wales!

  @BackRoadBimbles2 ай бұрын

  I dread to think whats it’s like on a bank holiday weekend! Quite true about North Wales petrol. I have had a few moments thinking how easy my bike would be to push to Betws Y Coed if it came to it 😂. I am glad you enjoyed the videos. Thanks :)

  @@BackRoadBimbles when I rode the NC500. I diverted off the route near Tongue as the weather was what my dad would have called dreich. I could tell the moment I rejoined the recognised route as the camper count shot up... and I was there in mid September. Hoping to be back in Scotland in May and North Wales in Sept as Snowdonia and I have unfinished business... remember last Easter? Me too. Snow, motorbikes and the pass at Llanberis do not make for a good time.

  Wonderful! I have been visiting Scotland since before I could walk and talk, these days I get there as often as possible by motorbike, a VStrom 650. I use motorways as little as possible and did the NC500 plus in 2021. My last night in Scotland was in Kirkcudbright and I rode South via Carlisle, Penrith, round Kendal down to Lancaster etc. Preston was a nightmare on a hot Saturday and I vowed to avoid it via the M6 in the future. Next time you go up, cut across into Yorkshire and pick up the A7 or A68, both really excellent roads, also try to make it into the Cairngorms.... stunning. As for single track roads... yup, about 30 mph average, even when empty. Looks like a fantastic trip, thanks for taking us along. P.s. Also a Beeline user... love it.

  Totally agree, went to mull on my fazer in 2006 (i think). Lovely place, especially Iona. Loads of hidden gems in Scotland so intend to explore more in the future on the Himalayan. Thanks for watching.

  Fair play to you doing it in March and on the equivalent of a 2 humped camel. That's not an insult by the way but making the similarity of may not be the quickest but can cover a big distance between fuel stops.

• 
  @BackRoadBimbles3 ай бұрын

  I had the roads to myself in March and it was a totally unplanned trip due to work forcing me to take untaken leave from last year. I like the camel analogy, I have ridden a camel, albeit one with one hump, and I can say the Himmy is far comfier and not as grumpy. Thanks for watching.

  The Fazer was agreat bike and had dome great adventures, but the Himmy wants me to go off track more often and its easier to handle on any loose stuff. The bridge is over port dinorwic marina
