    Just finished watching this trilogy and found it thoroughly enjoyable. I particularly loved the running commentary, you do a not too bad scottish accent, being a scotsman I've been all over this beautiful land and it's always nice to see it from someone else's perspective. There are many b and b's along the nc500 that are much cheaper than hotels although booking in advance is essential if you're on a budget. I have to agree the west coast is my favourite as well particularly glencoe. I had a little chuckle to myself when you mentioned about the little house at altnafeadh at the head of glencoe when you said you wouldn't live there where would you get a curry. Well i wouldn't either that's the house that belong to the infamous jimmy saville! Anyway thankyou for showcasing scotland in all it's glory even when the weather wasn't the best, it's not always like that, I'm now going to watch your hebridean adventure.

    This series goes to show even scottish folk (me) dont know what we miss. heard of the NC500 but never ever imagined it to be that beautiful. I think the weather on this trip just makes it all the more scottish. The more bends you went round felt myself tilting with you. Magic ride , added to my list of must do's

    I've watched your NC500 series of videos many times now and it has inspired me to do the trip on my GS. This is my 70th year so I'm trying to work through my bucket list. Off to Scotland in June. Thanks for a great series of videos.

    @DarrenJMHughes 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What an adventure you have undertaken with brilliant camera footage and commentary. Some of the scenery was just breathtaking especially through the Cairngorms and those roads just look as inviting for a bike as they would a car. Many thanks for these videos and I am sure you have given lots of your followers and new followers food for thought to completing the NC500 or the MCN 767 or even just apart of it.

    • @TheMissendenFlyer

    Wow, just watched all 6 episodes, one of the best most informative tour series iv'e ever watched. Almost feel like I don't need to do it myself now it was that good.
    Just got back from 2 weeks touring Portugal and think a week up in Scotland would be good in September, some very useful tips, especially regarding the daily mileages, you really earned your supper and a few pints on a couple of them days

  • @kcd2120
    @kcd2120 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    These videos are the very best of what TH-cam has to offer. I grew up in Aberdeen so have spent time around some of these roads and areas - since leaving Scotland, I have lived in San Diego for 23 years now but really would like to move back to the U.K. If and when I ever do, a motorbike tour or Scotland would have to be on the cards. There also did not seem to be speed cameras or the like, making for the occasional 'blast'. Thanks for the videos from a homesick Brit!

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow I'd love to move to San Diego! Out of interest what is it that you miss that would make you come back???

    • @kcd2120
      @kcd2120 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheMissendenFlyer Why do I want to move back? I miss woodland, forests, open fields, old historic homes with character, naturally green countryside, hedgerows, proper weather with four discernible seasons, good road surfaces (terrible here) etc etc. Oh - and Bovril (it's now illegal in the USA...). Anyway, until such time as I can come back home, I shall love vicariously through your wonderful videos!

  • @kingnorre5103

    Today I grabbed a good glass of single malt Scottish whisky, sat in my sofa and watched all 6 episodes of your Scotland vids. I really enjoyed it. So much I’m thinking about visiting Scotland next year 😉. Keep up the goid work and see in the UK someday!

    Enjoyed the videos thanks. I did the route a few years ago with a mate on our LML scooters. They only have a 5L tank so range is about 110 miles, no problems with fuel as carried a 1L bottle, but didn't need it. We also did the isle of Skye and Arron too, so your westcoast videos also brought back memories 👍👍 Good work

    Brilliant stuff, very skillfully done, many thanks from an east coast scottish person, Dundee based who misses the great outdoors on my doorstep ( March2021), you have helped me to re think my future and planning of further journeys exploring Scotland on my doorstep. Also to check out detials of getting a bike and licence etc. many thanks.

    • @mickeypopa
      @mickeypopa 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh yeah, I'm watching it for sure! I must say though, despite having seen only 3 episodes of Western Isles so far, I do like the North Coast 500 tour more. A lot more! That part of Scotland is simply spectacular, breathtaking expanses of sheer ruggedness, inhospitable remoteness, beautiful glens and epic mountains. Is there anything that beats that?
      And since I like the cold and the wind, I think I might've been born in the wrong country. I think I might be a Scotsman at heart! :) I probably would've set up a tent there in the middle of nowhere for an entire day just soaking in the power of that place! haha

    Great stuff, shown the wife the series and managed to convince her to do a similar trip next summer up there on our Triumph America.
    What's been good to note is that for me I think we will not worry about the east coast and John O'Groats and focus on the west side. It will allow us to spend more time in those areas, shorter riding days etc etc.

    • @TheMissendenFlyer

    Thank you sir, what a great series of vid's.
    I remember riding the A93 from Perth, awesome road and most memorable for the, I think it was a Harrier, doing some low flying manoeuvres through that Glen, scarred the shit out of me when he went past maybe 200 feet above the valley floor.
    The snow on top of Glenshee was a big surprise, there was reports of snow the night before when I was in Perth but I had no idea where, soon found out where later the next day, and that was mid May.
    I will repeat my words from a previous post by saying " you bastard " you got me itching to do that ride again now.
    The bastard quote is purely in jest of course.
    The Perth you mentioned about being the most remote city is the one in west Australia, about 3000klms from the next city.
