Nice one TBW, we're so lucky to have these brilliant places to ride literally on our doorstep, weaving through Lancashire into Yorkshire and back again is one of my favourite rides out. ...😊
Thank you for the tour! I am originally from Vermont. The six New England states are Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Thank you Dave for taking me on your ride out. The bike sounded great. The views were spectacular. If I had deep pockets... I would probably buy a Triumph Speed Twin 1200. What a beautiful bike. You take care and ride safe. Cheers from Western Washington State.
Love the video. The TOB is one of my favourite run outs. Just need to tell you the cafe you went to at Slaidburn is the Riverbank tea room. Puddleducks cafe is at Dunsop Bridge.
Came up through that way on Thursday the 12th going back up to Scotland. All that area right up into the borders ,Yorkshire, Northumberland, Cumbria, excellent motorcycling country. I'm a frequent visitor.....
What a coincidence Dave, me and my daughter were up there on Wednesday and the weather was beautiful, sorry it was bad for you two . And we had some dinner at Puddle ducks cafe , best cheese and ham toasties we've had for ages , followed by peardrops flavour ice cream . The views up there are amazing, I've sent you a couple of photos. Cheers 🍻 Mel.
Good Afternoon Dave , What beautiful ride out today mate with your friend it was stunning tbf , Pity it was so cloudy & overcast but at least it was dry , i bet in the summertime it will be awesome , so take care & ride safe , PS ( And yes Dave we are all very upset up here about the tree being cut down in Nothumberland )
That looks like a ride I must also do especially if I can find a nice sunny day. I’ll be at Motorcycle Live on the 18th but I’ll let them know you’re coming so they can be ready for you..🤣. Oh and that moron who cut down the tree should be made to stand there holding its branches aloft for the rest of his days. 😡 And as for the music, I vote to keep it in. 🎶👍
Thank you Nick much appreciated. If I get turned away at the NEC I know who to blame😂 And if you do find a nice sunny day please let me know when it is 😀
I agree with increasing the preload on the rear. From day one I thought I may have made a mistake with the purchase (bought it based on media hype before they even arrived into New Zealand), because it had thrown me off the seat and up into the air on several occasions! I don't know how to fly, nor do I have a superman cape, so it was a very confusing time in my life. I eventually figured out that the rear suspension had minimal travel and was simply hitting the bumpers on occasion, so by increasing the preload by one notch only, the problem disappeared (well, almost!). I'm over 6,000 km's on the odo now, and the suspension has mellowed a bit I'd have to say.
Living not far from the trough of Bowland i agree with you completely but the road surface in some parts has really deteriated in the last few years some i don't think have seen tarmac for 20 years.
What lovely riding. If they do find whoever cut that tree down what would happen to them? A community service order picking up litter but in reality spending the day on their mobile phone more than likely.
With regards to the new RE Himalayan, itchy boots is trialing it for Royal Enfield on you tube so it’s real and happening, no nasty surprises this time.
They may be perfectly good motorcycles but they are not classics. My 1965 Triumph TR-6 is almost 60 years old. I have had her for 40 years. Everday transportation as I don't have a car. Serviceing a classic Triumph is easy. I won't touch a new one. Let's see how many of these bikes are still on the road in 40 years. I have 400,000 miles on my 1999 HD Sportster which is 25 years old and still is running on the original engine untouched . Had to clean the carburetor because it was full of crap. Runs great. Easy to maintain.
Controversy!!!!! “Trough of Bowland lies within Lancashire “ Any self respecting Yorkshireman should know that much of the area lies within the historic West Riding of Yorkshire “stolen” from Yorkshire during local govt reorganisation in the 1970s. If you look at some of the old signposts in the area you can still see the West Riding marking. Also you’ll find old boundaries marked with the letters WR. Pedantry is alive and well!😂
Wonderful countryside!
The Super Meteor conjures a kinda magic in that setting.
Thank you sure does 😎👍🏻
Nice one TBW, we're so lucky to have these brilliant places to ride literally on our doorstep, weaving through Lancashire into Yorkshire and back again is one of my favourite rides out. ...😊
Some fab scenery, love the sound of the s-meteor.

Cheers buddy I always used to include Delaware which is obviously wrong 😊👍🏻

Cheers Rick yes all the T120 Bonnies are expensive….too pricey for me for sure!

Brilliant, I did that ride the opposite way yesterday on my hunter, Quernmore my local territory great ride again TBW,thank you
Cheers Ted you’re welcome

Hi Mate
Lovely video
Your fun comments about Lancashire reminds me of the great Geoffrey Boycott. Love it.
take care
Cheers buddy much appreciated
Great video. Makes me want to get out and ride...

Cheers Steve such a shame about that lovely old tree
Your correct yes there used to be a van there but haven’t seen home for a long while.
That’s a shame….I’ll have to track down that lovely old Citroen van 😊
Lovely part of the country even for a Yorkshire man.
Dunsop Bridge takes you to the center of the United Kingdom.
Proper relaxing that.👍
Cheers Simon
I like the music can't please everyone. Mix just right i think 😊
I think the Chuck Van has stopped operating from there, was under new ownership, had a sandwich there last year but not seen it since.

Well, just so you know about video playback, on my iPad your video downloads at 720p and it is set at maximum video quality.
I don’t think it’s fully rendered by TH-cam just yet
Are you getting concerned by the reports of the 650 Scrambler? You'll have to buy that as well😀. Really enjoyed that vid. Cheers
Cheers Andy….I’m sort of vaguely interested in the putative 650 scrambler but whether it would persuade me to swap the Pan remains to be seen 😁

On which bike?

Did you get your passport stamped at the border ? Came across the border in the early 80's myself and still can't find my way back out. 😀
😂😂😂
What lovely riding. If they do find whoever cut that tree down what would happen to them? A community service order picking up litter but in reality spending the day on their mobile phone more than likely.
If you had to purchase a t100/120 vs super meteor Which would you chose? Wish the SM had cruise control
You are correct the scum that cut the tree down needs to be sorted. To quote yourself put me in a room with him and I would end up in prison
That’s Geo-engineering weather that is 🤫
With regards to the new RE Himalayan, itchy boots is trialing it for Royal Enfield on you tube so it’s real and happening, no nasty surprises this time.
Yes I watched that lucky girl
Take a lesson from Coast Rider, the sound of the engine is MUCH better that someones guess about music.
Im still sure you should have kept the 350 and got rid of the pan European.......my thoughts only👍

@24:37 The cattle grid at the top there used to be the border between Lancashire and Yorkshire. Amazing how close Yorkshire came to the Irish Sea!
The Met Office app is way more accurate
The bbc weather has turned into a platform for Climate change or Weather Tax .
Stopped watching bbc , Political Minefield 😮
