I did Chester (where I live) over to Sheffield to visit my brother and his boyfriend on my Honda CL500. Did snakes pass for the first time. Amazing bit of the country it really is. I decided to wild camp in the woods just of the road on snakes pass on the way back, absolutely amazing experience. Lovely video earned a subscriber here
@@jamesnoonan7450 I’ve not been over Snakes Pass for years. You’re right, beautiful place and fantastic road that. I bet wild camping there is fantastic! Thanks for the sub and the positive vibes 👌😃
@@DDZv2-ei2os Thanks Buddy, where are you if you don’t mind me asking? I ride a 50cc and a 125cc with my Sons, I actually really enjoy riding smaller bikes too. Thanks for the positive vibes 👌😃
@@collectronica Hey Andy, thanks for the comment bud! 👌😃 I was surprised just how much it had changed. However, still lots of familiar stuff there too. For me it’s an annual trip these days It was fun riding the old scratching routes again & having a nose around 🤩
Could only watch so much as still recovering from 10 miles of filtering idiots on the way to folkestrone for the crossing, due to an accident! feel your pain (apart from the arse pain as I have a proper comfy seat) 😂👏👍👌🤘✌🖖🤙🍻
@@badllama8090 filtering is certainly an exercise in self restraint, zen like total awareness and fighter pilot reflexes! 😂😂 I’m envious of your seat. It quickly became obvious that I wasn’t properly equipped for the journey that I’d undertaken. Every day’s a school day. 🤓😂 Thanks for the interaction Bud, appreciated. 😃
@@stufrags hello fella. I use the purple panda mic available from Amazon. You want the plug with 2 black stripes not 3. It’ll make sense if you look for them. You do need the media mod on the GoPro to give you a socket to plug into too. Hope that helps a bit. Marcus
I did a very similar journey in that heat this week, I feel for you, I was much luckier with the traffic tho. I was wondering, what camera(s) do you use?
A@@squary3dcheers fella. On this video I used a GoPro Hero 12 on a chin mount. But on the hero 12 I use a media mod which allows me to use a purple panda external mic inside my helmet and also the max lens mod 2.0 which gives a stable horizon & a much wider view. Prior to this video I’ve used a similar setup with a GoPro Hero 10, media mod, Purple Panda mic and the Max Lens Mod 1.0. I’d literally just upgraded prior to this trip. On the bars I have the Insta360 X3, 360 degree camera although I didn’t use any of the footage in the final edit of this particular video, but you can get some cool shots with it deployed in different ways. Check some of my other videos to see this. Purple Panda mics are available on Amazon, just make sure you get the correct plug (2 gold stripes on the jack plug, not 3). Everything else is available on Amazon too, direct from GoPro or from many camera shops. Chin mounts are available here chinmounts.com/en-gb They’re in Canada I think, so postage can take a couple of weeks. Good product though. I’m not affiliated to any brands or companies. 😊 Hope that helps a bit Bud. Thanks for getting in touch. 😃 🤪✊🏍️💨
@@monty_sultana I know right!? 😬😂😂 Heywood brings back memories for me. An old friend of mine was from that neck of the woods, we used to go for food/drinks at a retail estate called Pilsworth I think that wasn’t too far away from there? 🤔
@@ItzEthanB I did more of a Wilmslow tour in this video: th-cam.com/video/rY4V3hZEcsw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vGqSNaCvhf6d1cfF I grew up there too. I lived there from 1970 to about 1996 and then returned for about 6 years in the early 2000s. Lots of memories there for me. I hope you enjoyed a trip back there via my video. Thanks for the comment, appreciated 👌😃
There should be a special lane for special people who pass an annual IQ test and get a good score. I wont be in it, but at least the sensible good thinkers can enjoy the road without the silly drivers ruining it 😜
@@whatislifebro hello mate. That’s a big question. Do you have any experience on a motorbike, a CBT or a bike license? Having answered that, it’s down to the type of riding you prefer and the bikes you like the look of. So many choices! But if you send some basic info then I’ll help you whittle it down to a few bikes if you like? 😃
@@TeamOrrCrew I’ve never ridden a moterbike but I ride pedal bikes regularly on the road, and also have been driving for a year. I used to have a powerful e bike with a throttle but that’s about it. My friend said if he was old enough he would have gotten the R3 instead of the 125 (Yamaha), but he’s had that for a couple years now and planning on upgrading to the R3. I’m not looking to commute hours each day either.
@@whatislifebro sounds like you are handy on 2 wheels. 👌 There’s no right or wrong answer really. You can ride a 125 on a CBT certificate & I’m unsure of the ins and outs of the A2 license as my boys are over 3 years away from that stage. I’ve got my Son a Reiju MRT125 Supermoto for when he’s 17. It’s a Spanish brand that use Yamaha engines. Nice bikes. The Yamaha MT125 is nice too. If you can get on something like an R3 then why not? I’m sure that thing would be cool. It’s all going to come down to what kind of riding you want to do, what bike you like the look of, how you fit into the licensing system as a young rider and ultimately how deep your pockets are. Good luck with it & ride safe Bud 🤪✊🏍️💨
