    Was talking about this the other day. On our UK tour, for the most part when I planned the route, I picked roads that were fast but twisty. Shame really cos we missed a helluva lot of crackin scenery. Having said that, it was a Fuckin blast😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I love the views as I'm on my journey, I actually mentioned it to Ged that most of the time, I'm one for the journey. Though Long Mynd, amongst other places I've visited, was a delight to stop at and spend some time overlooking Church Stretton. But I totally get where you're coming from. It's always good to open up the throttle and get that adrenaline rush. Even if it's on a 50cc or a 125cc when it feels quick at 50mph, it's always a buzz 😊. Thanks for sharing, and see you on your next adventure 👊 🤙 🤘

    I've never understood why people describe rain as miserable, horrible, disgusting or any other derogatory word. I love rain. It's atmospheric, it's dramatic, it's moody, it's also life-giving. Without it you'd be dead very very quickly.

    You could get a Shark helmet that has those front led lights on them. Do you have strips of reflector tape at the front of the bike? To make you as wide and big as possible

      @@steve00alt70 I'm not sure reflector tape would have made much of a difference here, because of the weather, but no I don't have it on. I might consider it for future though. I'll have a look for that helmet, see what it's like.

Our plan is to ride the top 6 Passes in one day. Weather looks bleak so we’re hoping for a break in the rain Si thee

      @@slorida I should explain, I’m not a vlogger like your good self. Some years ago I started watching YT videos and wanted to comment on a couple, but of course as you know you have to register to be able to do that. Towards the end of the “sign up” I was asked to come up with a nick name. To my surprise TheMatlockBiker wasn’t taken so went for it. YT then confirmed I had a TH-cam channel……I thought “I didn’t want a TH-cam channel” 😂😂 but had some videos I recorded some time ago so uploaded them just to go through the process to see what was involved and here I am

    Ahhh, the good old Scottish weather!! Good it wasn't at the beginning of your tour. Nothing worse than having soaking wet gear strewn around your hotel room all night. That A861 is a lovely road, but good sensible choice to go the way you did in that weather. What an absolute cnut that twat was in that car overtaking towards you. There's only one thing that happened there, he/she was a cnut, simple as that. I agree with the theory about the lights, but they were still a cnut. Shame about the weather as I say, but it does give Scotland a different type of viewing pleasure, such as the waterfall in Glencoe. loved this tour, great stuff bud.

      @@tojj29 I'd have been turning back for home if that was day one. 🤣 I don't think the coffee shop were too happy with the lake I left behind while I waited for check-in time, but it definitely was the better decision. I think that is an apt description of the driver. Glad you enjoyed the videos, the next tour series is not far away.
