- Hey Everyone,
I hope you ready for part two!!
In Part Two, you see Michael, Clifford and I travel by the small 125ccs to Shell Island from Bala Lake, our destination for the night!
All day we had wonderful weather on our side, perfect riding conditions!
I was soooo gutted that the camera didnt record straight after Bala Lake as we had the MOST fun, literally crying in our helmets with laughter! Hey ho, there are still plently of good moments that I was able to capture :)
I hope you enjoy it!

You forget how much of a hoot these little bikes can be, some of the best times I had were on my Honda SS50 back in the 70’s, an absolute legend of a little machine.
Small bikes are ace! Big advocate!
I had an ss50 when I was 16, great fun
3:26 is LLyn Mair on the B4410 up the rod from the Oakely Arms pub
Thanks Mike! 😁
I'm on part 2 of you're Wales adventure, it looks awesome
Thanks Gordon! 😊
Just got myself a hoodlum125 and it’s such a fun little bike. I used to go shell island with my step dad as a kid, loved the place, him not so much 😅. It was great to watch your adventure through wales, I may do the same next year.
Kate that looks like loads of fun, just shows you don't need a big bike to enjoy the full biking experience. Get well soon! :>)
Exactly haha! Small bikes can be fun too!
Hi Kate,
Good to see you back out on the road with, Mike again! The country side is so picturesque in, England, you have so many fabulous routes to travel around on!
Enjoy your camping⛺️/🏍riding adventure, and, ride safe...🏍💨Annie from Oz. 🇦🇺✌️
This countryside is so like the north of Scotland, looks amazing 🏴👌🏻
It's Wales 🏴🙃
That castle was called Harlec castle 😊 we done a trip around there and snowdonia etc on Saturday
Interesting! 😁
At 60+ and able to afford pretty much any bike I want and stop in B+B`s , I still I look back to trips with mates on clapped out BSA Starfires ,Bantams and Honda 125`s freezing and shivering together in crap tents and soaked sleeping bags.
Thank god that`s over.😀
THANK GOD ITS OVER 🤣🤣 I was expecting you to look back fondly LOL
perfect 👍👌 Kate I hope you had a good weekend greetings
Thanks Chema! I hope you are well too! 😁
Jajaja 😂😃 ok
Welsh crash barriers look tough, no running wide there!
loved riding Wales, next year I am debating whether to bring my Vango Odyssey Air 5 man tent just for me at the ABR fez lol sits perfectly on the backseat takes me minutes to put up and take down
Sounds ideal!
I did my bike test many years ago, had loads of bikes but missed the 125cc I got rid of my 600cc and got a immaculate euro 4 xmax 125 scooter, and a Suzuki Burgman 125, I absolutely love them, wouldn’t swap them for any big bike,
Remembering back in the days... Though 2 stroke Yamaha RD 125s had a bit more 'poke' than todays 125s!... And then the 1989 Honda NSR 125 came out... Derestricted, it 'pissed' on the RDs!
Another great vid Kate.
Ahh I never got to experience a 2 stroke 125 😭😭
You were at one point a mile away from my house, you could of stopped for a cuppa!🤣😂🤣
No way!! Small world!
That was fun... Riding "Tiddlers" are a lot of fun.
So much fun Bill!
Funny isn't it! Obviously, we all love riding. We wouldn't be watching and loving these videos if we didn't. But DAMN it is great to get off the saddle at times!? Thanks for this upload guys!
Just good to stretch your legs for definite!!!
Looks like a lot more fun can be had on little bikes for sure.
Will you have high winds and heavy rains for a restless sleep .... hmmm .... only two legged creatures stirring after dark around the tents.
Hope you getting things figured out and are starting to improve Kate. Hope you had a good weekend, take care.
Thanks Mike!
Thanks Kate Mike for sharing your camping trip to Wales super👍❤️
Glad you're enjoying it !😁
Excellent, looked a right giggle on 125's
Cracking vlog,great roads, tarp tent 🤔🥺, smaller than the one I used at the WW22 🤣🤣 love the fun your all having on the bikes 🏍👍🏍👍🤯👍
🤣🤣🤣 cliff likes a challenge
Reminds me of a trip I did nearly fifty years ago, to west Wales. The bikes were my Triumph 500, a BSA Starfire and BSA Bantam (I think!). I still have the old WW2 Army tent I bought for the trip (£6.00), I had to cut the tent poles in half in order to carry them. We tended to use racks, panniers and tank bags rather then haversacks. Glad you enjoyed it. I still have an old Triumph but use a Herald 250 as my wife won't let me buy anything bigger!
That sounds like a proper fun trip 🤣 £6 tent bloody hell, unheard of nowadays lol
Was seriously jealous of your trip, and the laugh you guys are having along the way............till I saw you're camping! No ta 😆
🤣🤣🤣
Nice 1 Kate
Thanks Lyn!
Doing trips like this on a 125 is a battle everything’s against you, suspension bottoming out due to the weight, wind trying to take you into the green stuff, speed or lack of it lol BUT it makes the whole experience more rewarding and adds an extra element to it that makes it special and an accomplishment, I love the big bikes but the 125 has captured my heart.
I think you summed it up perfectly!
Love this video series Kate. Clifford’s tent was 🔥🔥🔥
I'm sure Clifford will be grateful for your compliment 🤣
@@UsernameKate I’ve got a proper tent for Cadwell and I’ll still make a worse job of it than he did 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like a rough trip, what with hitting yourself with leaves and fighting mist. 😉 All good clean fun on daft bikes.
My Yamaha DT 125 LC was an awesome bike back in the 80's 💪🏻
Harlech Castle 🏰 👍

Hope the weather clears up for you . I’m off to Weymouth on my gtr on Thursday, from Sheffield, it’s a long ride but no problem to a seventy three year old iron but like me, have a nice time and thanks for sharing.
that was me at 54 seconds, we went from bala to barmouth then the back road towards bala a494 from dolgellau and stopped off at the white water kayak centre. The coffee and cake there is a winner.
Can't believe how small the world is!!!
Overtakes on 125's. That's commitment hahaha
So beautiful there, as always thank you for taking us along.
I am amazed at how narrow the roads (lanes) are there. Now I understand why many of the road racers there will not ride on the street. A track must feel like a super highway ... without oncoming traffic
Yea track feels good for going fast without worry! And yes we were trying for overtakes 🤣🤣
Absolutely love Wales! Great roads and scenery... Next trip over I have plans to camp out along the way. Great video y'all! 👍👍
Thanks Jimmy!!!
Kate looks loads of fun enjoy what's left of the weekend with Mike an stay safe up there! michael, halewood Liverpool. 👌🏼
We're long back now haha don't worry 😁
cracking video Kate 👏👏😀 beautiful countryside despite it being overcast. Those bike look lots of fun in the Twisties too...just the right size for some of those lanes too. looking forward to seeing part 3 👍. You guys have lots of fun which is what it's all about too 😉 Really hope you are feeling ok despite your problems, and that the channel is growing too. Chin up ☺️😎😎😎
Thanks Iain, can't wait for you to see part 3 tomorrow! 😄
@@UsernameKate brilliant news 😉👍🥰
Always my wife’s dream to camp on a lush grass area instead of the hard dusty dirt we always did. Looked like a fun ride together there, I guess the bummer about camping on grass is no campfires to sit around near the tents.
Some campsites offer a fire pit which is nice. A campfire would make life complete
Cliff’s tent lol, hope to god it doesn’t rain. I was expecting big things when I saw the size of his backpack. Great to get away, can’t beat it with a big stick. Look forward to your further adventures. Btw beard suits Mike.
That's bloody cliff for you 🤣🤣 and YES I love the beard 😄
I have only just subscribed to your channel. It's got some great bike content and you are a skilled rider. You also have a great singing voice !!!
Thank Paul! I appreciate the sub!! 😄
Mike and beard and green top and you two I thought American werewolf in London. 3 backpackers heading to a horrible end.
🤣🤣🤣 it was a bad end as well! But you'll see why on part 5 haha
Hi Kate
Another great adventure.you really do have a spectacular country, the scenery is amazing. Not to sure about the narrow roads and all the stone fences. The 125s are popular out here, there's something about holding it flat out without the fear of losing your licence that's very appealing 😁. Take care Kate.
Very very appealing 🤣 and very rewarding!
Looks like an fun trip
It was ace!!
Bikes and tenting it, classic combo for travel (as opposed to car=transport). Oh and Cliff's tarp is a shocker! Sorry!
An absolute shocker 🤣🤣
It's hard riding a 125 with a large bag on your back I have done it but it was a brilliant ride
Them roads look nice looks like you’re having a lot of fun
Think I might need to jump on my bike and go out there as the kids have gone away for a week
might just need to go camping up there and have a bit of fun
and relax
Nice video Kate
Yes, sometimes it's just nice to get away from everything!
@@UsernameKate yer u got that bang on
Carry on Camping ! 🤣 You maybe a tad too young to remember UNK ?! 🤭 Looking forward to The Sequel 😁👍🏻
Yea that went over my head I can't lie 🤣
@@UsernameKate 🤦🏽♂️ 🤣 We're all waiting for the sequel, would you recommend the place, was it worth the hundred plus miles ride and what did you all get up to whilst there etc ?. Come on UNK, get editing ! 🤓
@@vermin42 they're all edited and scheduled for the next 3 Sundays 🤣🤣 you'll just have to wait to see the shenanigans of which there were a few 🤣
@@UsernameKate Please, Vern will do. I feel like i've known you forever ! 🤭 I look forward to it. You do make me chuckle 🤣👍🏻
@@vermin42 nice one Vern 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Im surprised your tents were still there when you came back from dinner, lost 1 tent there and 2nd time survived. Hope it went well, see you in the next ep
Oh no hahaha that doesn't sound good, where the bloody hell did it end up?
@@UsernameKate it was still being held on by a couple of pegs but all the poles had snapped. Had to go and buy a new one so we could camp lol. It can get a little breezy up there.
🤙
Reminds me of what I did few weeks back! Am heading back hopefully this year if Test works out. You def had worse weather, although not too bad. (But I had 38c).🏴
Am still bummed my footage didnt come out.(Schoolboy error, might try n salvage some). Great vid!
A nice excuse to try again :)
Hello Kate another great vlog hope you are feeling better today looking forward to seeing you on two wheels soon take care lovely greetings from st Helens Merseyside..
Glad you enjoyed it! Next one is up tomorrow so not long to wait! 😁
@@UsernameKate take care lovely my favourite Bolton biker chick can't wait to see you back on 2 wheels wearing your swanky helmet and dark visor I love it when you slam your visor down 👇 only one username Kate
Loved your vid Kate…your such fun to be around…always cracking jokes…nice to see someone so relaxed. Hope your feeling better with your labyrinthitis? Bet your climbing the walls . Stay safe.
Labyrnthitus has still got me, just waiting to be released lol
wait till she has kids... that'll wipe the smile off her face...lol....
wait till she has kids... that'll wipe the smile off her face...lol....
@@pmay222 I have no intention lol
Kate you crack me up. "My bum cheeks can go all day" He he
😅😅
Just sold my Rt1200& bought a Honda monkey bike,I reckon this country isn’t big enough for a big tourer!But it,ll feel a lot bigger when I tour North Wales on it this Sept!🥴😁👍
Just goes to prove you can have loads of fun on a 125.
But not sure I'd repeat 400+ miles again to Wales on mine. Just not got the oompf (maybe if you a sprite)
Most fun times are had on 125s, it’s better to go fast on a slow bike than to go slow on a fast bike😊
This proves you don't need bike bikes to have an adventure
100%%%
Fantastic scenery, good vibes. A question, if I may ask. I turn off my bike by turning the key in the ignition. You use the emergency stop…..is there a reason for??👍👍🇳🇱
It depends what mood I'm in 🤣🤣 I think its 'good practice' to switch it off with the key (probably so you don't forget and leave your ignition on) but I don't think kill switch switching off will damage it in any way 👍🏻
The castle looks like Harlich castle but I could be rong
Was it you I rode behind this afternoon, north up the A49 from Ludlow and Craven Arms to Shrewsbury, where you turned west on the A5?
Not guilty 😁
Hi Kate my friend is just bought a 125KTM duke which is a lovely bike we also have some camping planned 👍🏍
Oh nice!!
🤩😍💖✌
13:26 Harlech Castle built by Edward 1st
Thanks Mike!
Nice video...looks like great fun 😀. Worst tarp set up ever..🤣🤣🤣❤ ps is the plural of Sinnis ' Sinnise's' ...or Sinnii.? PPS hope you're doing OK 👌
SIN-EYE has a nice ring to it!!
alot of trust in HJC ,to left the helmet onto the seat
Hi Kate, great video as always. What intercom do you use ?
I use a Freecom 4 and Mike uses a Packtalk Bold 😄
Harlech castle
Thanks Chris!
What’s your secret to putting up your tent so fast ?😂😂😂🙃👍
Good editing software OR get yourself a Mike 🤣🤣🤣
cacking video, stealing "come on fanny Ann"!
[ Like ] :)
Yay!
What sleep mats are you using kate ?
So Mike, is the bridge a legal right of way for motorcycles? 😆. Man those 125’s look like so much fun to bomb around on! Man those views!
I mean... I think it might be 🤣🤣🤣
Toured around Wales on a S1 250 Kawasaki back in the 70s, it was great. Now I won't be going to Wales with those stupid speed limits. Think it will kill the tourism. RIP Wales.
Average speed cameras kill all the joy
✌️😃👍
😁😄
i am really not sure why anyone with a full bike licenses would ever want to ride a 125 lol :)
Just for the heck of it 🤣 it's usually fun when there's a few of you all connected on comms 🤭
Camping is always better with mates, but, where's the pub?? Your set up looks ok but, your mates looks like something a ten year old would have. Lol. I hope for his sake the rain keeps off. 🤔
🤣🤣🤣
🤦 p͎r͎o͎m͎o͎s͎m͎
What does that mean?
