So many bikers (myself included) think that for a long touring trip, wether at home or abroard, has to be executed on a big touring bike. You have proved all of us wrong, and completed yet another long tour on a "little" 400cc maschine with that "big tent (which I would love a long-term review clip of) strapped on it, well done you. Well done also on this wonderful Scottish series, your best to date, that has been on my bucket list for years. Fantastic editing, beautiful pictures and your interesting commentry, backed, up with your wit and observations, all goes to showing what can be done if one would just, get up 'n go! I am so looking forward to your next Adventure. Thanks for all so far. Greets from Switzerland, Steve.
You have hit the nail on the head. Myself and all of my mates have bought smaller bikes. The journey times are no different, 50mph is the same on a Honda 50 as it is on a Hayabusa. I love the sound of that Himalayan, chugging away relentlessly.
Little bit of advice to campers Hayley and Paul. Here in Australia we buy the cheapest 2 skin dome hike tent and put a plastic tissue paper thin painters drop sheet 2 dollars Australian between the inner mesh and outer fly to make the tent 100% waterproof. But only roll it past the apex if it's raining or you want a sauna, don't forget to cut it for door etc .happy camping Cheers Johnny gadget Melbourne Australia 👍
Thanks Charlie for sharing your Scottish adventure I loved every bit of it & what a bike to do it on The Royal Enfield Himalayan that bike is a brilliant work horse & totally in its element in the highlands of Scotland (& not long after your brilliant France trip!) Anyone wondering if they should buy a RE Himalayan I would seriously suggest watching your videos! Looking forward to your next Adventure!
Prithee, the sun in ya'eyes is not annoying when ya'r on two wheels. Do'nt knock it. Winter comes apace. Bit o'banter love, know full well what ya mean, esp this time of the year. We could be "pining for the discomfort" !! Ps times i've had to bump old bikes, and cars too, in the 70's. Mind you, we lived on the top of a hill, just a 50 yd shove. Happy days. PPS. Bad, or no manners really winds me up. I should'nt let it get to me, but it has done for 50 bleeding years !! Can't shake it off.
Hi ya thanks so much for showing us your awesome adventure around..The NC 500 absolutely amazing ya made up my my mind doing it next year..24 thanks for sharing your thoughts and information outstanding..a uk biker...🏍🤔🤪
The couple that you visited and went for a brew at seemed so lovely, I can't believe the bike she owned was from 1991, I was 20, it looked in immaculate condition. I'm glad your brother finally got the bike started 🙌 😅. Thanks for sharing your adventures, see you on the next one, have a great weekend 😀 😊
Charlie, another superb video from you 😊 There hasn't been any of your vlogs we haven't enjoyed but of course, this one was special and Margaret and I are 'made up' to have appeared with you, Geff and of course, Roger! 🤗🤗
Great series Charlie, we’ll done, I loved your end piece, looking forward to wales, we live in north wales enjoy our beautiful country, leave plenty of time with our new 20 mph speed limits 😂
Hi Charlie just wanted to say , brilliant video, it's lovely to see Scotland. Just wanted to say we stayed south of Devon for holiday , which was good , we decided to go to Swindon Steam museum , just tell you funny story, I put steam museum on my sat nav , it took us to the steam train pub, it was closed. We did get to the museum at Swindon. It was very interesting. It was stop off , before going home to Nofolk.😊
Got to say that your cam quality is amazing. Fortunately I have a high res laptop and HDR, it is crystal clear and almost 3D. I have come to love your videos.
That’s Charlie for a great series of vids on your tour, what a lovely couple you met for dinner, genuine people still out there, all home safe now and ready for your shifts at work , cheers 🍻, Mitch
Hey Charlie, great tour to have been privy to! If you’re ever our way in Suffolk, please call in and eat with us, Mandi and I would be pleased to see you. We can even put you up. Sandy would vouch for us I’m sure….alb… Cam xx
Thanks for video. Really enjoy the ride through villages, seeing the sights. Having some vintage bikes I feel your brothers pain. Another great one, thanks again!
Brilliant Charlie & Roger, loved this whole series of the NC500 run. amazing!! loved the old AJS, reminded me of the 350 Matchless i once had. Thanks again 😀😎
Thanks again Charlie and Roger, a great way to start the weekend watching your video. Brilliant footage throughout the series particularly the drone footage. As always ride safe and I look forward to seeing in Wales. 😊
Had a similar problem on a campsite in the lakes ...went to the camp office that had a radio link to the owners and the family got unceremoniously dumped off the site at 1 am to a round of applause !
I think since covid and the whole stay cation thing there are people camping that shouldn't be because they don't have the right mindset and a bollocks to everyone else attitude ! .....and don't get me started on campervan sliding side doors 🤬
Great series credit to you Charlie really enjoyed it good to see you visiting our neck of the woods (Yorkshire) and our local haunt Squires. What a bike Roger has proved to be never lets you down not surprised you are so proud of him. Keep up the brilliant video,s Ride safe Martin
What a fantastic trip Charlie really enjoyed it looking forward to you Lone Rider tent reviews, Of to Squires on Monday to meet a you tuber Himalayan friend once a again thanks for a great video trip.
I loved watching your adventures in Scotland. Great videos's. Thank you. And your are an inspiration for our (my son and I) TH-cam channel Motormobilist.
Brilliantly put together Charlie. I think you’re definitely now my favourite out of all the motorcycle adventurers I watch , and they are all good too , but your vids and style have got that magic touch ……
Yay! You’re popping over to my homeland next!! :) Now I know you are going to probably do the whole owls nest, copper kettle, baffle haus thing cus it’s trendy but there’s a cuppa and a sarny waiting for you at my tea room if you have time ❤ and it’s a cute canal boat if that helps 😂 The barge Pontymoile canal basin NP48ER 👍🏼
Wow Charlie what an awesome adventure i really liked this brilliant series , plus you got to see your brother shame about that one night at the camp site , so thank you once again for taking us with you take care & ride safe both of you
Good morning Charlie, What an epic trip, beautiful scenery, wonderful people along the way ( apart from in Dundee campsite😳) and so many memories. Looking forward to seeing where your next trip will take you.😊 Take care, ride safe.😁
Hey Charlie really enjoyed these videos as I have with all of your video's they are great, next time you are up this way be great to meet up as since i last commented my mrs has since past her test and got herself a Honda Hornet. I think we live not too far away from where your brother lives as when you were at the Starbucks in Blackburn we are about 10 mins along the road in Kemnay then I think you headed towards the Westhill area, anyway keep up the good work and we look forward to the next set of video's 🙂
Great videos. Can you do or talk about your first time riding in the rain. Here in the desert/ Nevada USA we don’t get much rain but one day I’ll take the plunge and courage to go out in the rain ☔️
What a fantastic series Charlie, loved every episode and the last one didn't disappoint either👍You sure had changeable weather, everytime you go over a bridge in Scotland the weather clouds over😂I cycle over the Forth Road Bridge quite regularly but luckily I can pick my days and choose the nice weather and the views are just spectacular👌One of these times you will see them😉I'm also terrified of heights and cycling over the bridge can be quite scary, I always make sure its a calm day😂The old AJS is a bit like me, hard to get going but then it bursts into life😁Some beautiful bikes in this episode👍
Took me a minute at the beginning to realise you weren't in Dundee or even its county 😀 but you were in Tayport, Fife. Never been to the Larick Cafe before in my life until 2 weeks ago when we were on the Scottie Dog Art trail and one was located there. I live in Glenrothes Fife so knew where you were. When you left Tayport you went the opposite direction to the way you should have gone but don't suppose you were in a hurry. You could have popped in for a Bacon Roll or Haggis and egg roll at ours if i'd known you were in the area :) Next time
Don’t get me started on noisy campers. I’ve experienced a VW campervan full of Italian students who sang and played guitar and went through all the Monty python sketches until 3am despite shouts from various campers to keep the noise down and with no intervention from the campsite owners. Oh well at least i didn’t feel guilty snoring like a chainsaw 😝
Great series Charlie, really easy to get alongside. Look forward to seeing your Wales trip. Will you stay at the bikers campsite south of the Cambrian mountains? It’s a superb site.😁👍🏻
@@restdayrider hey, yes it is sorry. Worth a look next year though. Lake Brianne and the roads around the Cambrian mountains were amazing..safe trip👍🏻.
Poor old Dundee. It's a fine city with masses of history and many things going for it. Sadly riding / driving in and around it is not top of the must do list.
Loved the series; thanks for sharing. I was surprised that the NC500 wasn't busier. Perhaps the motorhomes have heeded the locals' advice and '****ed off'! Having just met a guy from Colorado who has been on his CRF round Ireland and the UK for several weeks, I've convinced myself that I need to load up the WeeStrom and sally forth. On a totally mundane note...what did you do for laundry? Handwash and hope stuff would dry overnight or find campsites with laundry facilities?
Didnt disappoint. Great quality and commentary throughout. I really enjoyed watching your trip. What is it with people who don't understand tents aren't soundproof? I'd have shouted at them too.
@restdayrider 🤣 can't say I blame you for a second. How did you find squires it's a popular haunt for me, although it used to be down the road in Sherburn when I started going.
In my naivety i thought you were as stubborn as I am, but I was wrong. In the last episode you surprised me by getting both subtitles and language right! 😁 I really like your video stories so don't make me wait too long for the next one!
@@restdayrider Good, but don't forget to remember what to do before you "launch" the next episode, so I don't have to argue about it again. Have a rewarding trip and say hello to Roger! 😁
What a great adventure you're having. Lots of memories and stories for the grandkids. Will you be doing a follow up video on Lagertha the Meteor? I believe you sold her to a friend of yours. My Meteor is 18 months old with 14,000klms on the clock and still going strong. 👍
Did yu do the cam upgrade at all? Another great video awesome series. The countryside where you were riding ith your brother apart from far beeter roads (NO POTHOLES) that I could see, you could have been riding in my part of New Zealand
Hello, when did you make this trip to Scoland ? Tour vidéos are very interesting. I am planning a trip to Scoland and I would like to go on August thanks 😎👍✌️
Great trip shame about the weather being a bit meh. Sympathise about the camping troubles the first night we camped in Scotland when our kids were young we were in a sparsely attended campsite in the borders and has a dreadful night. Two Scottish couples decided to have an all night drinking session a few yards away from us. The annoying thing was that there was plenty of space and they could have pitched well away from us but didn't. Telling them to keep it down as they were disturbing the kids just resulted in a torrent of abuse. Shame and I'm sure not representative of Scottish people but put a bit of a dampener (along with the rain) on the holiday. Feeling sorry for Lagertha, do you ride her round and about locally and save Roger for the big trips? BTW what was your mate riding?
Just binge watched all the episodes. Lovely footage and just great entertainment. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, welcome to the channel. 😊
So many bikers (myself included) think that for a long touring trip, wether at home or abroard, has to be executed on a big touring bike. You have proved all of us wrong, and completed yet another long tour on a "little" 400cc maschine with that "big tent (which I would love a long-term review clip of) strapped on it, well done you.
Well done also on this wonderful Scottish series, your best to date, that has been on my bucket list for years. Fantastic editing, beautiful pictures and your interesting commentry, backed, up with your wit and observations, all goes to showing what can be done if one would just, get up 'n go!
I am so looking forward to your next Adventure. Thanks for all so far. Greets from Switzerland, Steve.
You have hit the nail on the head. Myself and all of my mates have bought smaller bikes. The journey times are no different, 50mph is the same on a Honda 50 as it is on a Hayabusa. I love the sound of that Himalayan, chugging away relentlessly.
I totally agree, take any bike on an adventure and it becomes an adventure bike!
Thank you for featuring us at squires was lovely to meet you xxxxx Hayley and paul
You too!! 😊
Foam earplugs....best camping accessory ever 😊
Really enjoyed this series. I must go back and do more of the West Coast. Beautiful. Thank you Charlie x
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Really liked this Charlie! That old BSA in the bar was awesome.
Oh.......that Honda takes me back,I had a cd185 as my first geared bike back in the early 80s
Thanks for showing the scenery in Scotland 😊
My pleasure 😊
Highly entertaining and superb scenery with great music along the way. Enjoyed your singing Charlie!
Hahahaha sorry about the singing. 😊
A brilliant series. Well done and thanks Charlie. Roger did you proud. Good to see your brother still out and about on that lovely AJS.
Thank you 😊
Apart from the midges, great trip.
Little bit of advice to campers Hayley and Paul. Here in Australia we buy the cheapest 2 skin dome hike tent and put a plastic tissue paper thin painters drop sheet 2 dollars Australian between the inner mesh and outer fly to make the tent 100% waterproof. But only roll it past the apex if it's raining or you want a sauna, don't forget to cut it for door etc .happy camping Cheers Johnny gadget Melbourne Australia 👍

Would be great to see you do this again in 2024 and make that trip to the islands.
Hopefully the weather will be better, but no guarantee with that
I will definitely go back to do the west side and island , not sure when this year or next, but it will happen !
Well done !!! atb.

unceremoniously dumped off the site at 1 am to a round of applause !

Bikers Cove for a grease sandwich.
