I'm an Englishman and have been to Southern Ireland (ROI if preferred) multiple times. Have never even considered NI (apart from NW200). Definitely will after this content. Well done Saffy
Your opening dialogues are beautiful and brilliant. Your videos and your adventures are FUN. Don't let something going wrong get you down. I HATE to see you cry
I absolutely love your intros to your adventures! They are spectacular! I loved riding around Northern Ireland, it is truly a magical place. Beautiful video!
Saffy Sprocket, still the only poetry I listen to…. And I look forward to it and even miss it on occasion… Saffy, love your spirit and determination and it is refreshing to hear you again and see your out and about on your bike…. Giggle on and of course it is almost entirely your fault!!! You went on the journey most wont and for that, we salute you!
We'd never been to Ireland until a few weeks ago. We travelled through Northern Ireland to get down to the Republic and do part of the Wild Atlantic Way. I wish we had spent longer in NI as it was a real surprise just how lovely it was, particularly the Sperrin AONB. We will return to explore a bit more 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Mark! It feels great to be back on the road, and I'm thrilled to share the journey with you. Here's to many more adventures ahead! 🌟🏍️😊
Welcome to the North Coast Saffy. One of the most beautiful parts of Ireland as I am sure you discovered. I was up there last week myself on my bike from Larne along the coast road to Carnlough. Water foot. Glenarm. Cushendall Ballycastle and on up to Dunluce Castle and Portrush. I never tire of it. Very popular with bikers. I'm lucky to live just an hour away
Non Iron…. Co Antrim - my childhood home. God’s little acre ❤️ ride safe. I’ll be riding those very roads in a month or so. Looking forward to next video 👍
Stunning scenery, empty roads (until Belfast anyway) and cheap food . What more could you ask for? I must do Northern Ireland. I've only done the south west (which is also beautiful). Love the image of the smuggler's boat at @6:55
It's nice to see your adventures, it looks like the new Shad luggage system did it's job. I look forward to your next installments. X I hope you are doing ok. X
That was a better intro to selling this place than anything the N.I. Tourist Board produced. 😎 If you get the chance, you ought to try one of Pat Shortt's Jumbo Breakfast Rolls. Still a bargain after all these years! 😂👍
I'm currently taking my license and hopefully should be done around the end of june, and i hope i will be able to ride around Norway and see the country i grew up in as you did! I absolutely adore you! Not a lot of people are be brave enough to ride around solo on these adventures as you do, but that is one of the things that makes you special. Keep doing what you are doing, i love every second of every video you post🤩 And i wish you the very best, and i hope that you will come visit our country again - love from Norway🥰
Petrol Stations in Ireland are really good for proper food. Like lunches and dinners or anything else in between. Look out for the bigger new ones. Have fun.
If you fancy an adventure. We off to the Dolomites via Holland Germany Austria Switzerland onto the Stelvio pass and onto the Dolomites . Setting of Friday the 7th June . You’re welcome to come along if you have the time . 👍👍
You just drove through my home town, and local spots, Gyles Quay, Carlingford, Newry. You missed NW200 road races by two weeks 🫣. Coastal road next, cushendal, cushendun, bushmills, carrickaree giants causeway. Loads to do, sorry about the ☔
Another great video. What bike do you ride now, it appears to keep changing. I now ride a KTM 390 Adventure as it's capable of handling on and off road really well. Also, it's not too heavy to pick up should I end up dropping it. I have lived and ridden in England, Scotland. New New Zealand but now live in Australia (Victoria) and we have some awesome roads. Keep up the great work, I love your self-talk coaching yourself when things go sideways!
Thanks, Mark! I’m currently riding a SV650, - I like to mix it up ! Thanks for the support and kind words. Keep those wheels turning and ride safe! 🏍️🌍😊
Welcome to my home Northern Ireland, I hope the weather was kind to you,looking forward to the second part of the video and I hope you enjoyed yourself, if your ever in any need while here I could offer assistance anytime as I'm a retired ( over 66 ) rider, Cheers John
Something I only found out recently that I thought I’d mention incase you didn’t know as you take a lot of ferries, make sure you leave your bike in gear as it stops the movement of the ship causing the bike to move forward and off its side stand.
@patrickkeating7074 Great question, Patrick! 🌟 I was super excited to hit the open road, but don't worry, I'll cover Dublin and Southern Ireland in an upcoming video! Stay tuned! ☘️🏍️📹
Saaaaaaaammmmeeee, gonna black mail yourself with a little treaty treat sometimes. Go for a ride, get a coffee and a cake, take a camera, make some cute selfies for the gram. Maybe the bike you're riding isn't the right bike for you too
Thank you for your comment back. Ah thank you for encouraging 😊 i love.my bike its a beautiful sports bike and i know not comfortable but once i moving it so easy to drive well i am like snail 🤣 . Hopefully i will be more and more braver!
The Poetry sets the mood and I absolutely love it… sometimes in the opening sometimes in the middle or end… but she is so expressive in that format it conveys what is lost in the giggles we all adore too… She’s a package… She’s a riot!
I enjoy watching you touring, poetry, exploring, exploring, humour and wits. That's why we are traveling!
Glad you enjoy it!
Northern Ireland is just beautiful, and no one ever seems to talk about it - thanks for sharing this Saffy
It's such an under rated place, it's like a little tropical island
Nice one, love the drone intro.
Thanks 👍
I'm an Englishman and have been to Southern Ireland (ROI if preferred) multiple times. Have never even considered NI (apart from NW200). Definitely will after this content. Well done Saffy
The coastal road from Larne to benone is amazing and the views are stunning,did it many moons ago,to do the snakebite rally 😁🏴
What a beautiful journey thank you. 😊❤
Here's to many more beautiful adventures ahead! 🏍️🌟❤️
@@SaffySprocket I'm looking forward to every single one sweet ❤️
Your video intros are so smooth and awesome, well done Saffy! Lezzz gooo into Ireland this time! 👍👍
Your opening dialogues are beautiful and brilliant. Your videos and your adventures are FUN. Don't let something going wrong get you down. I HATE to see you cry
It’s Poetry!!! And I truly love it!!

I'm glad to be back ☺️

I wish we had spent longer in NI as it was a real surprise just how lovely it was, particularly the Sperrin AONB. We will return to explore a bit more 😊
That was a brave beginning and pausing when you’ve ridden enough is brilliant.
🥰 thank you, I'm learning to go at a slower pace!
You have a way of making people be there with you on your adventure.
Thank you 😊😊😊😊
Go places. See places. Enjoy places. Be at one with life.
Absolutely! That’s what it’s all about. Thanks for the reminder to live in the moment and embrace the journey. Ride on and enjoy every mile! 🌍🏍️😊
Fantastic young Sprocket Bushmills distillery and giants causeway is only 30 minutes from my home. Safe travels my friend ❤️
Thank you so much 😊😊
@@SaffySprocket I've got my theory for the bike next week. Watching people like you makes me want to get out and see the country more
Saffy beautiful video thanks so much for sharing glad to see u on the road again !!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Mark! It feels great to be back on the road, and I'm thrilled to share the journey with you. Here's to many more adventures ahead! 🌟🏍️😊
12:40 that's not belfast, that's Newry and the castle just before... that's carlingford castle. ❤

You might have rode past me if you were up there last week : D
@@SaffySprocket I may well have done, definitely passed a few bikers on my way up.
Thank you for sharing your journeys with us Saffy...it's like we are all along for the adventure too. Ride safe Saff 😊
My pleasure!!

Excellent content
Welcome aboard!
Non Iron…. Co Antrim - my childhood home. God’s little acre ❤️ ride safe. I’ll be riding those very roads in a month or so. Looking forward to next video 👍

Gorgeous views!!! Welldone to you!!!
Many thanks!
More great content Saff, excellent videography, narrative and fun, keep it coming!
Thank you so much!
It makes a wonderful change to see you happy and relaxed and experiencing a place instead of wizzing by,
have fun Saffy 🤗😘
Stunning scenery, empty roads (until Belfast anyway) and cheap food . What more could you ask for? I must do Northern Ireland. I've only done the south west (which is also beautiful). Love the image of the smuggler's boat at @6:55
It's nice to see your adventures, it looks like the new Shad luggage system did it's job. I look forward to your next installments. X
I hope you are doing ok. X
Thanks 👍 shad is amazing 😍
Cool opening.
@hughmac7423: Glad you liked it! I always try to start things with a bit of flair. Thanks for watching! 😊

Thank you. I really enjoyed this video. Amazing what a bit of sunshine can do. You seem to be enjoying it.
Beautiful Landscapes...❤ I wish i would see it live....
Next time!
The Shad expandable panniers look like a great idea, they should sell bucket loads of them. Have fun xx
Yes they do they're amazing!!!
Very enjoyable vlog Saffy, looked like you enjoyed it more without pushing yourself to hard, and you stayed dry with the lovely weather 🌞
Yes I did 🥰 love it
That was a better intro to selling this place than anything the N.I. Tourist Board produced. 😎
If you get the chance, you ought to try one of Pat Shortt's Jumbo Breakfast Rolls. Still a bargain after all these years!
😂👍
💅🏻 beautiful islands need beautiful introductions
I'm currently taking my license and hopefully should be done around the end of june, and i hope i will be able to ride around Norway and see the country i grew up in as you did!
I absolutely adore you!
Not a lot of people are be brave enough to ride around solo on these adventures as you do, but that is one of the things that makes you special.
Keep doing what you are doing, i love every second of every video you post🤩
And i wish you the very best, and i hope that you will come visit our country again - love from Norway🥰

Hi saffy I really enjoyed this vlog already looking forward to part 2 ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Did that whole coast road myself 3 weeks ago.. Great ride.. though I can do it anytime as I'm a native of "norn iron"
Ah so jealous 😀
Petrol Stations in Ireland are really good for proper food. Like lunches and dinners or anything else in between. Look out for the bigger new ones. Have fun.
Honestly they're insanely good!
I was there for the NW 200 great Road for the bike.
That breakfast looked yummy 😋
It was!
If you fancy an adventure. We off to the Dolomites via Holland Germany Austria Switzerland onto the Stelvio pass and onto the Dolomites . Setting of Friday the 7th June . You’re welcome to come along if you have the time . 👍👍
If your in ireland and heading to Killarney bike fest I will be over with the CMA at the CMA Tent . Ride safe
Saffy always wanted to go beautiful and i must get a drone
You really should!
What you had labelled as belfast is actaully Newry, can see your outside the buttercrane centre. Still about 40miles away from belfast.
Ahhhh! I did go through Belfast but I probably used the wrong footage 😭😅 it was stressful driving through the rush hour 🤯
You just drove through my home town, and local spots, Gyles Quay, Carlingford, Newry. You missed NW200 road races by two weeks 🫣.
Coastal road next, cushendal, cushendun, bushmills, carrickaree giants causeway. Loads to do, sorry about the ☔
Northern Ireland our beautiful wee Country😁 the coast road on the bike🏍️ there's nothing like it😀enjoy👍

Was in Ireland a couple of years back, beautiful place but it pissed down all week so camping gear stayed on the back of the bike 😂
I was suppose to go a few weeks back but it started pissing it down 😂 put my trip off because of it and I'm glad I did now!
Welcome to my home Northern Ireland, I hope the weather was kind to you,looking forward to the second part of the video and I hope you enjoyed yourself, if your ever in any need while here I could offer assistance anytime as I'm a retired ( over 66 ) rider,
Cheers John
Thank you! 😃
Breakfast for a fiver blimey Charlie things have changed there .
The locals said it was expensive 😂 but I was so happy
At last! It's not raining. Yet 😂
Ikr 😂
You should have come to the isle of man for the TT and we could of had a few beers and a laugh
The qualifier ?!
@@SaffySprocket it starts Monday and i will be in peel Thursday morning for a week to watch the racing.
My home for the first 18 years of my life...
How come you left 🤯 it's stunning
@@SaffySprocket Africa somehow got in my veins 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Drive car more safe then motorbike can u drive car please @SaffySprocket
What's that Oxford box thing on ya bars? And did you leave the plastic on your watch screen.. Peel it!!!!!! 🎉😂
Heated grips controller
I, every year..., and it hasn't happened yet 😅 I have an Irish surname too. One day, one day.😊
Oh no way! That's so cool!
Something I only found out recently that I thought I’d mention incase you didn’t know as you take a lot of ferries, make sure you leave your bike in gear as it stops the movement of the ship causing the bike to move forward and off its side stand.
Yes 🤣 gonna park it like an uphill parking slot
How about touring the isle of man?
It's on the bucket list :-)
Great post. Out of interest, the words you used at the intro, are they your own or from a poem?
Mine :) I write them when I'm traveling:-)
@@SaffySprocket very creative, their is a great book there in the future Saffy👍
👍
What happened to the bike stuck in Norway?
While I understand the wanting to ride but you really should take time to enjoy the world around you
It's still in Norway
@@SaffySprocket that's a shame, if you need help getting it back let me know
You got off the ferry in Dublin, why did you not show the Dublin area and S.I.
@patrickkeating7074 Great question, Patrick! 🌟 I was super excited to hit the open road, but don't worry, I'll cover Dublin and Southern Ireland in an upcoming video! Stay tuned! ☘️🏍️📹
If I had of spotted you would've said haol . I live in Belfast
Ah no way!!!!
I'm near sure I spoke with her briefly at Carrickfergus last week and had a joke with her about mistaking her for itchy boots.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed for a while after that
@@SaffySprocket 😄 enjoy your adventures!
How do you get over fear of riding? Every time i decide go on the road i am get excuses why not to go 🙄
Saaaaaaaammmmeeee, gonna black mail yourself with a little treaty treat sometimes. Go for a ride, get a coffee and a cake, take a camera, make some cute selfies for the gram. Maybe the bike you're riding isn't the right bike for you too
Thank you for your comment back. Ah thank you for encouraging 😊 i love.my bike its a beautiful sports bike and i know not comfortable but once i moving it so easy to drive well i am like snail 🤣 . Hopefully i will be more and more braver!
I wonder if you can live off £5 breakfasts all the way ? 😁
I'd rather not 😅 I prefer my food
"You gonna finish that?"
😂
I like ur hard luggage. I'm gonna have to get some for my bike.
Fáilte go hÉirinn saffy
❤️ thanks
Less poetry more riding bikes.
The Poetry sets the mood and I absolutely love it… sometimes in the opening sometimes in the middle or end… but she is so expressive in that format it conveys what is lost in the giggles we all adore too… She’s a package… She’s a riot!
