    Like Noraly Showenmaker ~ (you know her ~ Itchy Boots ~ ) You are able to narrate through your ride through the amazing Brit countryside. All your verbal comments are so appreciated. And then a huge shout out "Thank You" to your friends there who are also so much fun to see negotiate along the ride. At 70 years old, trying to take on riding my "new" 95' Honda Nighthawk cb750 I am increasingly in awe of well, I guess it's just physics. There is a physical part to motorcycles ~ I am enjoying the challenge. Thank you for this. 〰✨🌿👍🌿✨〰. New Hampshire.

    I like the brooding skies, and really liked the descent into Honister Pass. The fog in that other pass I started to think of American Werewolf in London (as they are hiking in the beginning). With how narrow you roads are (as it seems to these American eyes) It's almost like they are just motorcycle pathways, which would be awesome if it were true. These last two trips with Lily have been a lot of fun. Thanks for taking us along.

    Kudos to you all for not wimping out in that less than desirable weather. It kinda puts paid to any thought of throwing the bikes into a corner when it's like that 🌧

  • @itsmeagain1745
    @itsmeagain1745 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Memories! A part of the garden at my grandparents house came from the slate tip at Honister. Hardknott was my test road (from Eskdale) for all my bikes/cars in my younger days. The same direction that you took. First bike up there was a Ducati 250 with clip-ons from 1975. No problem.

    Well even if it did rain, and the “ladygarden” got wet 😆, that’s what makes the countryside so lunch and green, and the flowers so bright 😉👍! Beautiful scenic trip even with the rain and fog, fantastic accommodations, thanks for taking us along😃.

    I've been over Hardnott twice but always in the dry and on a sunny day, never in rain and low cloud. When you get to some of those really tight hairpins you just pray a car isn't coming the opposite way. Last time you reviewed the BSA GoldStar do you think the Norton is worth 3 times as much, got to say on noise alone it sounds like a bag full of bolts.

    Hi kate, Thanks for another great video, I always say roll on summer let's have some warmer rain 😂, although I don't think it was much warmer than winter rain this year. The Norton sounds more like a tractor 🚜 than a bike 🏍, good riding ladies on rough roads and pouring rain 👍.Take care, Best wishes Roy 😊.

    My guess is you are probably a bit light for the suspension settings on the Norton. I am opposite from you. When on a twisty pass with dodgy surface, I prefer going up. I feel more in control.

    Those passes are so different to the Alps... I nearly dropped my new S1000RR on Hardknott last year. It's so narrow, steep and rough compared to my usual rides in Switzerland. I'm not sure if I'd do it again even on a more suitable bike, the weight and height of an adventure bike might make things worse!
    This video gives a great view of what riding these passes is really like 👍🏻

  • @JeroenvanKleef
    @JeroenvanKleef หลายเดือนก่อน

    I also have a 2 cilinder in line (F800GT) and really like it. I guess the recording doesn’t do the norton justice but it does sound like a tractor, specially when going slow downhill :)

  • @apacherider7110
    @apacherider7110 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You've missed the Kirkstone Pass by turning left, you should of gone straight on down to Ullswater, then you have gone cross country to Whinlatter and then looped in others. I did Kirkstone, Wrynnnose and Hardknott last weekend on the Himmy, best bike for them as you can ride it like you stole it....😅. Nice to see the ladies on the bikes👍

    I’ve cycled all of the passes from both directions so I’m very familiar with these roads. (You missed out kirkstone pass by coming the wrong direction by the way). Gotta say, I wouldn’t attempt Hardknott in that kinda weather on my motorbike. Super impressed you all made it though (sigh of relief). There’s been many a bike dropped on those bends.
