I think the reason I ride is to relive my youth I can be aggravated by all the crazy things happening in today’s world and a spin on my bike instantly washes my stress away It’s also the reason I like traditional bikes like the classic and my old carbed harley
Think I've mentioned it before Dave, that my Classic 350 is the bike that I couldn't afford, and my Mum and Dad wouldn't let me have anyway, back in 1963 when I was 16. Amazing that such a bike is made today, and truly wonderful that it is so popular, never heard or seen a bad word about them, except perhaps from those who've never seen one up close and certainly never ridden one. Great that you're enjoying yours so much, and sharing that enjoyment with others. Have fun, stay safe.
Interesting video, don't see many Telephone Boxes any more, noticed a VW transporter T2 . I drive a 2008 transporter t5 and I'm always seeing old transporter campers on TV and Movies, they're everywhere. I'll be out tomorrow on the Honda cb 500s. The Antrim Coast and Glens of Antrim are very like Yorkshire 👍 Got me Oxford heated grips fitted yesterday, so I'm ready. Great video Dave, beautiful scenery 👌
Think everything has been said here. Just wished the ride went on all evening then I wouldn’t have to find something boring on terrestrial t.v. Thanks again for such enjoyable rides.
Hello you you always find the best roads to display our favourite little bike ,cant wait for this storm to blow over so i can put a moto vlog together again
Well, that was another delightful ride! Lovely countryside with some great views and a wide variety of road surfaces. Scotsman John Louden McAdam pioneered bituminous roads around 1820, though the use of coal tar in the construction was patented by Welshman Egar Purnell Hooley in 1902 and called Tarmac. Nottingham's Radcliffe Road was the world's first road built using that method. Todays roads use bitumen (a petroleum by-product), instead of coal tar, though many folks still refer to the surface as Tarmac. Asphalt uses bitumen as a liquid binding agent, the end result being a smooth and durable road surface.
Great vid as usual Dave covering my stomping ground. You missed out on a treat for a cuppa and a cake Bolster Moor farm shop and cafe was five minutes away from where your video ended I can highly recommend it if you are over that way again. Ride safe Martin
Thanks for the short ride out as always brilliant I keep looking at my Enfield in my garage waiting for the rain to stop 😢 But I'd I can't ride I can clean it .....
That’s so true! One of the reasons I like my Classic so much is that it reminds of my first road bike, back in 1970, an AJS Model 14 250 single. rather optimistically called a ‘lightweight’ 🤭
Hi, I use calimoto on my mobile. I have it linked via Bluetooth to a headset in my helmet from Amazon. It cost me £17 and also let's me take phonecalls. The only downside is not being able to see the route on screen. Hope this helps, ride safe, Dave

Forgot to say, think it was John MacAdam that first put tar with gravel, hence the name TarMac

Beautiful views and perfect little roads for the RE Classic 350. 👍
At 55 I went back to riding after a 20 year absence and after 3500 miles this past summer on my own Zenfield 350, I'm here to say cheers from Chicago
I love the idea of it being a Zenfield, they truly are. Ride safe mate, Dave

Very nice run out there. The Main Street in Dent near Sedburgh also has cobblestones. Makes for an interesting ride to say the least..!👍

Hi Martin, thanks for letting me know about the café, I've never heard of it, but have put it on my list.
Ride safe, Dave
Your enthusiasm for your bike makes me want to buy one 😁👍
one smooth ride, be safe, enjoy!
Thanks for the short ride out as always brilliant I keep looking at my Enfield in my garage waiting for the rain to stop 😢
But I'd I can't ride I can clean it .....
Woohoo, if you like cleaning bikes Ivy says can she come over 😁🏍️
I can't imagine a better bike to do such a nostalgic trip.

The cobbles were different!
Very pleasant ride out into the country, we must be of about the same vintage had my first road bike a tiger cub in 1969 Great memories cheers 👍🇬🇧
Excellent ride out! This video just goes to prove, you can throw just about any road conditions at a Royal Enfield, and it will just keep going!
Friday already! Where does the time go, i have always wanted to go up over that bridge at Scammonden so no excuse now you showed some roads up to it.
Good job not icy with them cobblestones mate 😊 just sort of roads for the RE ...
