After lots of requests I've now opened a "Buy Me A Coffee" page buymeacoffee.com/countryhousegent (I wanted a "Buy Me A Pork Pie" page, but the option wasn't there 🙂) Many thanks to you all,
Wow!! Absolutely cracking first video Kevin, thank you. Thats the best half an hour of telly we've had in ages. Stunning scenery but like you said, there are few words to describe the beauty in reality. So chuffed for you that you finally got to do this trip. Must add, you couldn't cram much more onto your bike, i would put my back out trying to throw my leg over the seat inbetween all that gear. Thanks again Kevin. This season of CHG looks to be something special, then again, they always are. All the best Kevin, Floss & Jan.
Eeeeek! Did you say we are going 60 MPH? This is the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm a lady on the down side of 70 , enjoying the ride from my rocking chair. I also enjoy seeing you and Aslyn.😊❤😂
It's been many years since I lived in Scotland, and your video brought it all back with tears in my eyes. I'm excited to see places I wasn't able to visit, especially Shetland. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Wonderful clarity on video and audio! Beautiful blooming flowers and trees and church in Fairlie. Looking forward to boarding the ferry in the next episode!
Awesome. The ferry journeys are a huge highlight of the trip for me. A real privilege to travel that way. The crew were very efficient, helpful and pleasant as well.
Wonderful, Kevin. Absolutely aces. Yours is one of the best channels on all of TH-cam. Your production skills are really pro-style now. How far you've come. Congratulations...thank you for sharing your envious life.
Kevin, I am in complete awe of your beautiful documentary-but-more! Scotland is absolutely exquisite. I envy you absorbing this wonder all around you, and I am so grateful a small-town South Carolina, USA, person can see such a wonder with a good friend, not in a boring documentary. Cheers, my Friend! Can barely wait for the next edition!
I’m rather impressed with the advancements in gps tech that they’ve actually created a scenic route algorithm. Takes me back to my college days and having to learn the math behind calculating shortest routes.
Hi Kevin.. I have been looking forward to your trips on your bike. Has your concept of time change, now you are traveling faster than 4 mph . Safe travels. Kind regards Kevin Vanstone
Didn't realize how much I've missed your videos until this episode. Your videos are very relaxing and bring me a feeling of peace with all the beautiful scenery and your calming voice and narrative. The last time I drove around the English countryside, I had to use a road atlas. I always got to where I wanted to go, but GPS is a beautiful thing compared to the old-fashioned way.
That's fabulous, thank you so much. Always great to hear how much the videos are appreciated. Cheers for watching and hope you enjoy the entire series.
Fabulous! Beautiful countryside. If I had one word to describe it, I'd use the same word you used from season 1 of Travels by Narrowboat. "Amazing." I'm so looking forward to more episodes. I really love the intro as well.
Done Scotland many times on bike , here now with family ( in car ) doing highlands , but I will watch this video when I get home and we will do the islands next year. Thank you
Hi Kevin, really enjoyed the vid. It did take me back to the 1970's when myself and three friends did a tour very similar to yours, but back then no sat nav and many numb bums!, our bikes were Triumphs, Enfields, and Honda's. Never forgotten it, and yes we did get lost several times but all part of the fun, take care.
So the journey begins, at long last. This is going to be...Enchanting, breath taking, exquisite, elegant, stunning. To mention just a few words of expression. Drive safely Kevin. 🖖🏍⛴Enjoy the trip.
Beautiful scenery! I've only ever ridden on the back of a motorcycle, short distances, so I can't imagine what it's like to travel that way. I think my concern would be traveling in bad weather. At least in a vehicle you've got shelter. But when the weather is fine, it must be marvelous! Very much like the opening music, nice and bluesy. Reminds me of the Allman Brothers. And certainly "Midnight Rider" fits here fairly well 😁 🎶.
welcome back Kevin. Based on the brief introduction to the route and the edited part one, it is certainly very interesting already. Looking forward to see the rest of travel recordings from a bike!
Brilliant fantastic loved watching the camera angles were spot on and scenery makes me want to ride up there. I've no idea how I've missed these video for a month lol. Great to see you out and about. Thanks kev for the trip 👍 All the best Kev the brinklow kayaker
Worth waiting for Kevin, that's an ambitious itinerary you've set yourself...looking forward to the big mountains of Arran next week. Meanwhile I'm rewatching episode 1!
Brilliant. Not jealous at all….honest. People that have never been on a bike don’t realise how different it is to being in a car. Instead of looking at hedges and walls in the countryside,you are looking over them at the spectacular views. Loving it.
Well hello Kevin ! Wonderful to see you again. It looks like you’re off to a good start of an amazing trip. So happy that you’re taking us along for the ride. BTW, really like the hair cut.😃👍 Safe travels, love from Florida. 🧡🤗🧡
Thank you Kevin, the scenery is everything & more than I expected it to be. I went over to Skye years ago in a motorhome & it was stunning. Can’t wait to see the Isle of Harris too. Cheers🍻
Yay! You're back and a new intro jingle to boot! This is gonna be a great trip! In the summer here in Seattle area the ferries to the islands are loaded with bikers. Although I will have to get used to you driving on the other side of the road 😆-Cheers from Seattle!
Thank you Kevin. Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs. I guess biking is similar to the narrow boating as you need to look ahead and allow for others. The sun on the scenery and the blue see was just glorious.
Wow wow wow your travels by motorcycle are just as entertaining as the narrowboat. Please tell me you didn’t sell Aslan. Thanks so much for taking us with you. Now bring that bike to America and we can ride together !
After lots of requests I've now opened a "Buy Me A Coffee" page
buymeacoffee.com/countryhousegent (I wanted a "Buy Me A Pork Pie" page, but the option wasn't there 🙂) Many thanks to you all,
Whatever direction your videos take, you make the viewer always wanting more Kevin. Glad you're back! 👍😀
So good to hear that Mike, cheers 🙂
I've been looking forward to this, thanks for taking us along on the journey Kevin!

A very good day Floss and Jan. Really good to have you along on this adventure. Cheers,
As someone who has traveled very little in my 76 years, I so look forward to these travels with you~ Thank you so very much!
Eeeeek! Did you say we are going 60 MPH? This is the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm a lady on the down side of 70 , enjoying the ride from my rocking chair. I also enjoy seeing you and Aslyn.😊❤😂
He's going a mile a minute! 😎
Ah, yes, hadn't thought of it that way. 🤭
It's been many years since I lived in Scotland, and your video brought it all back with tears in my eyes. I'm excited to see places I wasn't able to visit, especially Shetland. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Thank you so much Kathleen. I hope the series brings back many happy memories.
I'm so happy this adventure is starting. Always wanted to go but probably never will. Thanks Kevin.
Absolutely LOVE the intro music….a la Allman Brothers!
What an epic adventure, thanks for letting us tag along, Kevin!:)
You're very welcome Jack, thank you
Wow, wow, wow! Love this! Thanks for taking us along!
Looking forward to this! Great to see you Kevin!
Many thanks Derek
I've had a bit of a tough year so I'm late to your motorbike adventures, Kevin. But I'm looking forward to my upcoming binge!
Hope you enjoy the series and that whatever it was is well and truly behind you now. 🤗
Wonderful clarity on video and audio! Beautiful blooming flowers and trees and church in Fairlie. Looking forward to boarding the ferry in the next episode!
It’s everything you said it would be. I’m in love with the big sky views. Awesome❤️
Wow! I bet your nerves and excited. Stay safe Kevin. And thanks for sharing.
Thank you as always Ben. Yes I was quite nervous to begin with, all new project and experience - but I soon settle into like a seasoned pro. 🤗😁
@@CountryHouseGent so true. And I am a seasoned watcher. I don’t wave at the TV anymore. LOL!
Love the new theme song and virtual sightseeing! Thanks for taking us along. ❤
Wow. What an ambitious journey! Only 7 minutes in and I am pumped to travel.
As a former ferry deckhand and someone who has wanted that bike, this is going to be great!
Awesome. The ferry journeys are a huge highlight of the trip for me. A real privilege to travel that way. The crew were very efficient, helpful and pleasant as well.
Thoroughly enjoyed that 🏴 can't wait for the next one. A true free spirit and adventurer, love it 😀
It’s going to be GOOD!!! Actually it is good, I am going to be with you all the way.
Thanks Kevin, for taking us along on this beautiful motorcycle tour of the fantastic Scottish Islands. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Wonderful, Kevin. Absolutely aces. Yours is one of the best channels on all of TH-cam. Your production skills are really pro-style now. How far you've come. Congratulations...thank you for sharing your envious life.
Where ever you go or what you film we will be here to watch it, looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you Colin, great to hear that
LOVE the new music...twangy and bluesy. Good job!
Great trip!!!
Reason for the 20 mph is so people will do 30.
Leave it at 30 and they do 40!
Have a great time, I know I am.
Welcome Back Kevin! We've missed you!
Thanks for all the great vlogs
You're very welcome
Kevin, I am in complete awe of your beautiful documentary-but-more! Scotland is absolutely exquisite. I envy you absorbing this wonder all around you, and I am so grateful a small-town South Carolina, USA, person can see such a wonder with a good friend, not in a boring documentary. Cheers, my Friend! Can barely wait for the next edition!
Thanks so much! Very beautiful and exciting! What a treat!
Life at more than 4 MPH. Love it. Great video!
Very impressed with the audio quality!
Thank you John, that was the part which took the most research and testing to get right.
So good to have you back. Can’t wait to see those beautiful islands.
You look healthier, happier, and more content than ever. Mazel tov!
Absolutely joyous Kevin , lucky lucky man, I hope one day I can follow in your footsteps.All the best Stuart

Excellent Kevin and superb filming!! Welcome back!
Absolutely love the first episode Kevin! Thoroughly enjoyed beautiful scenery. Each town was a joy to see. I can't wait for number 2. Thank you Kevin.
Still got the 'Travels by Narrow boat' vibe, but moving much faster. Love it!
Gorgeous scenery. Thanks for the video!
Good to see you again
Well good luck Kevin.
Thank you and cheers for watching 🙂
Wow, thankyou Kevin, fantastic video. Beautiful countryside. Loving the bike tour and your commentary.
I enjoyed every minute. It brought back memories of touring the Scottish mainland in the early eighties on board my trusty R100RS.
viewing here in Maine, USA and lovin' every minute of it.....thanks Kevin! Going to Scotland for 2 weeks soon and can't wait!!
Didn't realize how much I've missed your videos until this episode. Your videos are very relaxing and bring me a feeling of peace with all the beautiful scenery and your calming voice and narrative.

Wow I'm off Aslan and now I'm on a mot' a' bike heading through Scotland.. so great CHG!! What an adventure~
It feels like I’m on the back of your bike!
That's what I like to hear. Cheers, 🙂
Beautiful
Love the countryside. We appreciate the videos. Beautiful

Thank you John.
Fantastic mate thanks for taking us along 👍👍👌👌
Brilliant. Not jealous at all….honest. People that have never been on a bike don’t realise how different it is to being in a car. Instead of looking at hedges and walls in the countryside,you are looking over them at the spectacular views. Loving it.
You are going to so many of the “wooliest” islands! I’m excited to see them through your lens.
Well hello Kevin ! Wonderful to see you again. It looks like you’re off to a good start of an amazing trip. So happy that you’re taking us along for the ride. BTW, really like the hair cut.😃👍 Safe travels, love from Florida. 🧡🤗🧡
Thank you Laura
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Should be a wonderful ride! Thanks for taking us along! Can’t wait to see more!!
Looking forward to your adventures to some places Ive been and others on my to do list
Nice job on the filming and commentary. As you say, stunning scenery
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for taking us along!
Congratulations! You finally got to do your road trip.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Welcome to Scotland Kevin, your bike sounds amazing, i stayed in Lamlash (Arran) on hols, lovely place.
Superb video.
You have a fabulous country, Douglas (the locals aren't bad either 🙂). Yes the bike has a pleasant 'parp'.
It looks amazing and your audio is superb! Great job brother!!!
Brilliant, we have just got our narrowboat and absolutely loving this, Scotland is beautiful, thanks for vlogging your journeys 👍👍❤️
This is going to be a very excellent series !! Thanks Kevin
Well done Kevin, filming is so sharp and clear on our TV. Interesting country of my grandfather, born in Wick Caithness, emigrated to New Zealand.
Thanks! Let's support Kevin. The trip couldn't be cheap, and he invested in great cameras and sound equipment.
Many thanks indeed, Bob and that's hugely appreciated. Yes I poured a fair amount into this project, both money, time and effort.
Excellent first video Kevin. I’m looking forward to sharing the journey with you 👍🏼
A nice vlog from a Sassenach abroad!
You must be pleased. Managing so much footage and tying it all together wow. Bike sounds good too.
Very true, Hugh. It's a bit of a juggling act, but getting a little easier with practice.
Looking forward to this.
Superb! looking forward to your travels. 😊
Thank you Kevin, the scenery is everything & more than I expected it to be. I went over to Skye years ago in a motorhome & it was stunning. Can’t wait to see the Isle of Harris too. Cheers🍻
Thank you. Skye and Harris are incredible
What a delightful suprise! Hoping for some more Rush-isms in this series. Hope you are well Kevin.👍
Fab stuff, mate. You'll find there's nothing as depressing as Scottish housing lol.
Ah but the housing on Shetland is both simple and staggeringly well designed. 🤗
That was brilliant......cant wait for more xxxx stay safe x
Yay! You're back and a new intro jingle to boot! This is gonna be a great trip! In the summer here in Seattle area the ferries to the islands are loaded with bikers. Although I will have to get used to you driving on the other side of the road 😆-Cheers from Seattle!
Thank you Kevin. Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs. I guess biking is similar to the narrow boating as you need to look ahead and allow for others. The sun on the scenery and the blue see was just glorious.
Wow wow wow your travels by motorcycle are just as entertaining as the narrowboat. Please tell me you didn’t sell Aslan. Thanks so much for taking us with you. Now bring that bike to America and we can ride together !
Thank you so much Dan, I appreciate that. Rest assured, Aslan is still very much my home. 🤗
Wow! The scenery is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😊
This is Great, looking forward to your journey. Thanks.
Beautiful skies and landscape...looking forward to sharing this journey!!
