Great trip!

Brilliant👌

This was brilliant👌

I hope you’ve got a new Satnav by now 😀

Great video, the best ive seen on the NC 500, clear concise and no BS, we are doing it in may, great heads up on the things to see and do..

Was going so well then mentioned skyfall 😕

Awesome video.

Brilliant video. My next trip to Scotland will include riding this route. Thanks for making a cracking video. You have a new subscriber in me.

❤

Hi Lad.. Liked and subscribed. Me and my missus embarked on our 500 on the week Scotland opened up May 21. The weather and covid restrictions meant we could only do the tour but not visit any attractions.. I remember saying, coffee there NEXT TIME all the trip. But the tour is just so much more than a bucket list. IT'S A LIFE changing experience. Keep safe lad and enjoy your dad's company as much as you can before you have to go by car due to decrepit nessus takes it toll ❤❤❤

Great video and tips, I plan to do this trip next June, hoping the weather will play nice🤣 but being from Ireland I'm used to riding in the rain.

Thank you. I’m doing the NC 500 in may 2024 and I’ve watched a few videos. This is by far the best one I’ve seen and so informative. Definitely will be trying all the single malts possible. Wish I could do it with my dad but unfortunately he’s no longer with us. He was also shit on a bike tbh

Thanks for sharing pal . Heading to the nc500 next from Dublin. Can’t wait for it 👍

Thanks so much for posting this epic video and it's great that you got to share it with your dad.

Thats special.. i wish my dad could still do that.

looks like a great trip 👍. should of put a few pictures of loch lomond in video. only 30 minutes from Glasgow but some cracking views.

👍

Thats what I was thinking - I have looked at many videos and west to east seems marginally easier!

💯

I totaly agree. Ride safe and enjoy.

Informative video. The route map is really handy. Something I hadn’t realised is that the SC300 is actually pretty well west of the Northumberland250. I’m planning to do that in June. (I have 10 days in a Microcamper and am now thinking of combining both of these routes for a mega trip that’ll be longer than the NC500 that we did this March.

Well done guys ! Amazing areas to bike on , and your advice for others is great 💪

hello graeme, do you have the name of the hotel that you stopped at just off the nc 500 at laxford bridge. many thanks.

Oh definitely a few more days. It will take me four days to get to Inverness then I am thinking of stopping at Thurso, Altnacealgach Motel, Applecross and Skye. Just wondering - is there an easier way of getting over the Applecross Pass? East to West or West to East. I have looked at both on videos - it looks steep at the start of the West to East route and then maybe not so bad? Id be in 2nd gear most of the way !!

Great video - I am planning to do what you did this summer albeit I live down south, near Bristol!! And guess what my choice of transport is? A YB100 - 2 stroke. If there is no fog at the top of the Applecross Pass there sure will be some smoke after I pass by !!

Fantastic video and photos,we are coming up from Wales and doing the nc500 this July, going up the west coast and back down the east coast, after watching this video I can't wait to see the views 👌👍

Crackin vid, makes me look forward to summer to get a run on some dry roads.

Epic!

Great video ,watched the nc500 to ,I’ve done both of these and relived them watching your videos, my wife is named after the ailsa craig and she was so excited to see it when I showed her your video. Well done for both the videos

Great film and commentary Graeme - did your Dad find the VRod comfortable after all those miles?

Brilliant video 👍

Just come across your channel & this was the first video I've watched. Brilliant, absolutely Brilliant. The best NC500 video I've seen. Thx for sharing your trip

Me and my partner who no longer here did Stirling to fort William to Ullapool finishing at Durness but he would not go the wick way for some reason so we came back same way beautiful drive specially on motorbikes ❤️

As a Highlander who has travelled extensively all over the Highlands and watched many of these videos on the NC500, it's great to hear someone who can pronounce the place names properly. I realise that it can be difficult for visitors, but it does make me cringe. Great video and really pleased that you enjoyed my beautiful Highland home.

Great video..given me some thoughts on where to go...will defo take the road to the "Rest & be thankfull" viewpoint on my way up to Taynuilt to see my family....Do a massive tour later this week..10 days on the bike with Scotland & Lake District. Thanks for he upload was great to watch it.

Brilliant video and congrats to dad for persevering on his V-Rod. Shortly I will be doing Wales with two of my sons on our bikes, but only for a long weekend and expect our mileage to be somewhere around half of what the two of you managed. Ride safe.

Class mate, commentary was brilliant indeed like so many have said. One of the best road trips in the country. Like you say it does not matter what way you ride it. Spectacular both ways. Thank you

I have just done nearly the same but the other way around from Lanark and back on a 125 Super Cub in two days, the pass is a doddle on a small bike the haddock and chips at the Applecross hotel is a just reward when the pass is over then on to Ullapool for the night. The worst part was the North coast road on day 2 with oncoming motorhomes just bullying their way through and groups of cyclists taking up the whole road, four abreast in places, was just plain stupid. I checked my fuel stops for the journey before leaving as the tank only hold 3.6 ltr which got me 90 or so miles ( the most filled was 3 ltr ) so if you are planning a trip , plan your fuel and a credit card is a must as some filling points are a single card only pump with diesel or E10 only. Who says you need an adventure bike to have an adventure but be warned the Scottish greens have forced through their 20mph max speed in built up areas so be prepared to crawl along in the towns and villages, plain police bikes and cars ( white golf TSI around Wick area ) are very active on the NC500 collecting fines to pay their wages.

Very helpful video, the cave early doors on the north coast, can you pin drop it, would love to go there on our trip

Brilliant video matey hoping to do this soon, absolutely fantastic getting to do this with your dad too 👍👌 ATVB Trev

fantastic vid

Brilliantly explained and to the point. Thank you.

Wow, was not even aware of this place. Another to add to the list. Sometimes i wish i lived closer to that area of the UK.

looking to do this trip myself and a great video guide, thanks.

Brilliant video 👍

Great video mate! I live in Dalbeattie you will of passed through it when heading for southerness lighthouse, I’ve got my motorbike test in may and this will be good to do😁 Thanks

really excellent video and commentary. Long lasting memories made between you and your dad. I'm from Glasgow but live in San Diego California now. Great to see some of the roads, especially the old military road at the rest and be thankful. I used to ride it on my "Flying Scot" pedal bike when i was a boy and many of the roads around Loch Lomond and the trossachs too. Would love to rent a bike and ride the NC500 when I get back over to Scotland. Thanks for taking the time to record and produce this. Very relaxing video that beautifully showcases the country. Cheers!!

Lovely video thank you We are touring the west coast in sept, so will take a few roads from this video thanks 👍🏼
