  • Welcome to episode 13 of Me, Myself & Dad!!
    I’m riding round the coast of Great Britain to raise money for St Wilfrid’s hospice in Eastbourne in honour of my dad who passed away from cancer in 2020. Details below on how to donate.
    On todays episode I get back on the road after a day off. Refreshed I venture around the north west coast of Wales on what must have been in my top three days of the trip. Just wow, I hope you enjoy this video as I sure enjoyed making it!!

    Parts of Wales are a bit of a forgotten gem, you have to be prepared to get off the usual routes and just explore. Very beautiful

    Magic video John. Loving the series. New BMW? No thanks. I like a bike I can maintain myself, not one that needs a degree in computer programing to ride. Electronic ignition? Yea, ABS? Yea, the rest you can keep.

    I,m pleased you enjoyed your ride in North Wales, Stunning scenery, it is very popular with Motorcyclists, and unfortunately we have more than our fair share of Tragic accidents here as I,m sure you can testify to !! one good reason to ride slowly when riding through Suburban areas, Can you imagine if you were riding a bit faster, when that Idiot pulled out on you, Cant help noticing you had a big smile on your face, or was that the Whisky, Enjoyed your series, Love to you and Dad !!!!

      It’s a sad truth that a lot of motorcyclists ride a little too fast. Other road users are not always looking for bikes so it’s a sure fire way of having an accident. Best just to kick back, burble along and fail at looking cool 🤣
      The smile was the culmination of a swell days riding, camping and yes, the wee dram!! 😂
      All the best and thanks for watching 🙏

    Absolutely beautiful part of Wales, I've been there a few times. Great work capturing the beauty of it, it's a top episode for sure.

    I have only been to Wales twice and not by motorbike. 6:50 Nice tune. I've just had some pineapple. The Northampton lot may have been on big, high-tech bikes, but you've done it on a VanVan 125. Good man! Who needs all this technology sh1t. I have three big bikes, 1200, 1700 and 950. Only one of them has ABS. As for anythingthing else... Good weather again.

    Alway's good video's, in this one I think the break and rest from the ongoing journey paid off in dividends. There's a lot to be said for smaller motorcycle riding John. Well done from Bampton, Oxon.

      Thanks matey, glad you’re enjoying the vids! For sure the break made me feel great. Anything would feel good after day 11 😅😅 hope you enjoy the last few episodes 👍

    Seeing Llandudno brought back memories of when I was there camping last year, though it was a lot busier than when you was there only a month or so later, I enjoyed a cold beer at the end of the pier and it was a scorching hot day.
    I watched your previous video, that was cool too.
    I can't believe how that car just pulled out in front of you, car drivers ah?
    Fascinating and great to watch, I'll now get on to your next episode 😀 👍

      It’s amazing the difference a month makes! Was boiling only a few weeks earlier. Glad you’re enjoying the vids. More are on the way!!

    I’ve been looking forward to these vlogs, such a beautiful place wales. I don’t think people realise just how nice it is. Close call with the car pulling out on you, I’m sitting at home & went to put my brakes on 🤣. Really enjoying your series, just can’t wait for the next one 😊👍

    • @moto-coupe

      Thank you so much Glyn 🙏 glad you’re enjoying the vids!
      Wales is awesome, I’ve been there a lot and it never disappoints.
      Yes the side of that car almost had my name on it! 😅 Oh well, no harm done! All the best!

    04:18 you missed the Bronze Age Copper mines on your left. Copper ore chopped out of those hills using deer antlers. Smelted into ingots that found themselves as far away as the Mediterranean. We go as a family to Llandudno almost as often as Scarborough as its dual carriageway and motorway all the way from West Yorkshire unlike the congested single road past York to Scarborough. Different on a bike of course.

    • @moto-coupe
      @moto-coupe  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah that’s a shame I missed that. Due to time constraints I missed loads of stuff. If I saw all there was to see I would need years! 🤣🤣
