Thanks for watching
We do love Scotland thx for taking us along ❤🙏
Just picked up my Honda transalp A week ago looking forward to doing a Scottish or Welsh trip next year.
After being stuck in London this week working, this has given me a nice slice of home. Cheers mate and glad you liked it 👍, next time I’ll make sure I’m home and I’ll join you
I don’t think you were suffering too much whilst I was there 😂
Looked a great ride dude.. NX performing well by the looks of it :) Pete
It’s perfect for this trip
Nice to share that with you my friend - Martin
10:09 Appreciate the bit of fan service... because, whilst you're a handsome bloke, we're mostly here for the NX500.
😂
Great video really enjoyed it .Scenery just amazing even in that weather . Looking forward to the next installment .
Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed it
I laugh at your comments about rain in Scotland when England gets far more flooding than Scotland. Just look at the massive floods going on in England for the last week.
People that live in glass houses ........
Scotland floods they’re just called lochs 😂
Welcome to Scotland Mr Fish...Wait til you get to the West Coast, much more beautiful 🙂
Sunnier too lol
Mr. Fish! I'm planning to upgrade my bike from Crf Rally. How do u feel about your NX500? Do u think you'll upgrade to another in the next year/s? I'm thinking about Aprilia Tuareg 660 but I love Honda so I'll look for transalp but if you feel like the NX500 Is more than enough then I'll buy the NX for my next bike. 😄
Up to you , I have a crf250
Rally as well
Your production quality keeps getting better. Sounds like this trip, especially today, has been great therapy. Well done!
Thanks mate , appreciate it
Even the main roads in Scotland are scenic...sorry you got so wet...west coast is drier lol...if you think they were mountains wait till you get to Glencoe!. I got my little CBR 250 over the Cairngorms...woznt sure she woz gonna make it to the too but she did lol
It’s not Scotland unless it’s wet 😂.. the 250 did well
Absolutely loving this series Mr Fish.
Been to Scotland several times and just making me want to do it again, ummmm I’ve got 3 days holiday left 🤔.
You’re doing it the right way, taking it easy, soaking it in . Great stuff. 👍🏻
Thanks mate. Glad you’re liking them
We went over that same pass in our camper a week later on beautiful sunshine & even stopped in the same layby for pictures. We were heading from forfar to Moray Firth. Absolutely love Scotland. Done it many times on bikes. Next year I'm taking the bike again. We also stopped at Glenlivet.🐟✊🏻
Nice one
That's my back yard! Loving that you enjoy Scotland, listening to your commentary makes me think I take it for granted a little, I'll appreciate what I have a little more after that. That section of the 93 from Blairgowrie to Ballater is a regular weekend run. Lots more bonny roads around here though. Great vid, great job.
Thanks , all good roads , you can’t go wrong
Nicely put together video. Thanks for taking us on your journey 👍
Glad you enjoyed it , thanks
Great journey Mr Fish, brilliant route avoiding the A9, glad to see the Struie is still open, last crossed there on my DT 175 around ‘97.
Wait till you see the west coast, best is yet to come !
Thanks mate
👍 love it , I used to drive (car ) to Glenshee A93 , most winter weekends in the early 1980's to go skiing 😁 , cracking road . Also ridden it many times , my perfect highland bike was the Yamaha TDM900 , 85hp, not too heavy , tall roader. Living in Suffolk now and have to get back home occasionally for the scenery and roads.
I used to love the tdm’s
Shame that Monster Munch not available in Spain. I feel your excellent videos would be best accompanied by a Red Bull/Iron Bru and MM.
Import it lol
Amazing video and beautiful scenery, I can't wait to go there in 7 weeks.
You’ll have a blast
These NX/CB engines like being above 3.5 - 4 RPM. Great video by the way.
Yeah I know , but my laziness stopped me charging down 😂
All that roads are within a 2 hour ride for me, so because its local i think its nothing special. Lol. Seen much better on my Europe tours.
There are great roads anywhere near mountain ms to be fair lol
I missed those roads they looked amazing it was defenetly a bit soggy at the beginning of the week it did get better though 😄
Only soggy if you’re on a bike lol
I loved that route, it the one we did for the Clan ride, stunning views mate. The roads encourage the bikes to push on. I live a lot closer to them than you and have not really ridden up there. Loved the video. 👍🏻👍🏻
I did see some of it on Bruce’s channel (I recognised as I was going past the ski centre)
Was that teapot one mowing the grass 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Stunning mate 😊
I want to go again soon
I just love to stop and listen to the silence ;)
It’s therapeutic
Very entertaining trip vids so far, thanks very much.
Glad you like them!
I admire your optimism....shame about the weather
Got to look for the positives in life.. we have the news for depression lol
Hi wow yes I am going to to say it amazing 😊 .
Rolley .
😂
I can see a new bike soon Mr Fish with more power. 🤣🤣
No need …
Great video mate..whats the bike?
Honda nx500
Welcome to my neck of the woods
Lucky fella
Absolutely loving this series! You’re proving that a smaller/lighter bike can be a hell of a lot of fun. Good on ya mate!
Thoroughly enjoying the tour videos on the backroads of Scotland. My style of touring
Great series so far
Thanks
Turning into quite an adventure... you even stood up on the pegs... must be an adventure! 😀
That weather though... def need good kit when it turns, how did your fair?
Not a single leak ..
@@Mrfish2015 I really need to rethink buying RUKKA, it just isn't worth what it costs!
I used over trousers on my jeans on this trip .. luckily had a new jacket as my others leak …
@@Mrfish2015 sometimes simple is best hey!
Another great instalment of this series. Scotland is amazing! Cheers for the vid!
I'm an American in the (American) midwest...made my first trip to Scotland last year. Made it up to the highlands too. This video brings back memories.
What a massive change selecting the correct music makes. The "I wish I was there myself" feeling kicks in. The more I watch it, the more I enjoy it, EP1 was good, but every next is getting better and better. Good Stuff!!!
Hi being fairly local to Scotland (cumbria) Scotland and our area never gets old.....🙂 as a long time pondering on cb500x aka nx500 I've finally got that motor albeit in a voge DS525x....and wow what a bike this is for the value👌👌👌 I'm impressed that your comfy on that NX being big lad....ps recommend you try Orkney and Shetland....all the best...
They are on my list to do , the bike struggles more than I do 😂
Great scenery up there and amazing roads,as for highest in the uk I was told great Dunn fell road upto the radar static was over 800 metres,sure was high last time I visited
I’ve been told that’s not passable for motors it’s cyclists only as it’s restricted access only
@@Mrfish2015 ah maybe it is now, it was a few years ago now me and two friends went up on our motorbikes,loving the series keep up the good work
Thanks , glad you’re enjoying them ..
I noticed in your last post you rode right past my house as I live in Carsie lol. I'm lucky to have the snow roads right on my doorstep and they're great on the bikes. If you're ever up this way again, give me a shout I could show you some of the other wee roads around here that are quite fun. Wee technical twist roads are the order of the day up here. Have fun and ride safe.
The Cairngorms ❤ Defo one of the best riding roads in the country. Shame about the weather. Fabulous when sunny
It’s stunning
Awe man a hope you get a couple day sun buddy ,I feel ma country is letting you down but hey you can hear in your voice your still enjoying it superb 🏴💙
The sun will bless me soon .. 😉
@@Mrfish2015 on the west coast 👌🫶
Yes
@@Mrfish2015 for me that’s the best part aswell ,can’t wait to see it 🏍️😊
Been looking forward to this 😂
Wanlockhead? Been there, highest village in Scotland. Did your route on my RT1200 twenty years ago, snowing in the cairngorms, bloody freezing, heated seats and socks were essential! Thanks for the vid, love from leeds x
Ha ha , yeah it gets a bit nippy .. I’m impressed by your snow ride 🙌
Fantastic video mate . I’m voting Mr Fish for poet Laureate for this year lmao 😂. The bike is doing great 👍. Looking forward to the next episode . 🏍️🏍️👍👍👌🤣🤣
😂, I’m a natural ha ha
