- I know it's quite chaotic, I'll try and rein myself in next time! Here I am riding around mid Devon on wet roads, but a dry day, temperature about 10 degrees Celsius. Stopping for the occasional cigar break and showing you the countryside!
Absolutely wonderful. Working through your back catalogue and loving your unique and erratic style more and more with every watch. Sheer pleasure.
What a glorious thing to say!!! Thank you ever so much, that's really very generous spirited of you!!
Those roads are bringing back some happy biking memories from around the Callington area. Always fun dodging the accidental spillages from the muck spreaders, hedge trimmers and the occasional drifting Ginsters pasty lorry. Great videos and Happy Biking!
That's very kind of you, thank you...happy and safe biking to you too....more than anything else (even drifting gingsters pasties!!)...the potholes are the bugger!
Love it, wind in your hair, knees in the breeze, tastes of freedom, keeping the dream alive, speed and light..........
There's poetry in your heart! Thank you very much.
Cool to see you have the Union Jack Flag flying, great seeing the English roads, & I like that you have a Union Jack 🇬🇧 on your bag. I think someone who is proud to be British & shows it in Public is the top notch. What sort of music do you like? I’m a Big Hendrix & Peter Green fan myself. That’s me the German nutter again 😂
We should all be proud of our countries shouldn't we? They made us!! I'm definitely proud of mine. As to music....I love Caravan, The Small Faces, old school funk, disco, Joe Bataan, I like loads of things... unpredictable rock, Welsh folk music, skinhead music! Lots!!
Thank you find you such a nice person really enjoy following you love from a daft old man
You're very kind, thank you!!
Just recently discovered your channel and you are a real Hoot. Love the soundtracks you use, I always end up bouncing around the kitchen like a loon. Keep on keeping on you are a breath of fresh air.
That's very lovely of you, thank you so much. Keep on keeping on....that was the Red Skins wasn't it!!
@@lionheartmachines2193 The version I know was done by Curtis Mayfield back in the 70's
Oh, I'll check that out!!
You are so fookin cool 😎
@patrickdaly685 that's very sweet of you, thank you! I liked that!!
Nice to see you are not just a fairweather biker, I know loads of people who are but the girls I know are out in all weather. I try to take mine out every day even if its just for 1/2 an hour. It's a beautiful part of the world you live. I spent some time in Bideford for work a few years ago and I've been to Cornwall loads. I've got the Cornish flag on the back of my van and I wish I had a pound for every time some random person has asked me what country's flag it is.
No one knows what the Devon flag is either! But... when I was in Germany in the summer a couple of people were looking at the union jack on my bike and asked me what country that was!!! I was so horrified I almost fainted! (😂). You're brilliant if you get out every day on your bike!!
Not only beautiful pictures but also great sound and good music. greetings from Germany
Viele dank, so very kind of you. Greetings from Devon
That Yamaha sounds more Harley than my Harley, lovely loping beat.
Looking out the window in April doesn’t look much different than when you made this, but slowly getting warmer at last.
Keep being yourself, it’s very replenishing to us viewers. 👍🇬🇧
Ah, you are lovely..thank you. And I think it won't be too long before it warms up. And yes I call my XV my 'Chinook' it sounds just like one...I LOVE that sound, big chugging rugsy creature it is. Keep well and keep safe too!!
Seen a few of your .....let's say different vidios. Love the music, love your outlook. We did meet once not that you would remember. Never thought I would see you again tho. Love the videos, stay safe .
Hello I've only just seen this!! Thank you! Where did we meet? How bizarre! Thank you for the kindness and you keep safe and happy too!!
We met at speed in Exeter. You was sat in your bike enjoying a smoke. I smiled and nodded but respectfully didn't come talking to you as you didn't know me. Shame because watching your videos I'm so interested in what you say about things. Maybe one day we might meet again . I have just had a new knee 16 weeks ago and should soon be back on my bike . I usually ride to Exeter on weekends to take a look at the latest bikes that have turned up.
@@garyhulme3673 well,you should have said hello! I work there on most Saturdays. But ... it's my last Saturday there on the 17th!
❤ totally brilliant 👌 thanks for sharing your ride 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much indeed, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
fabulous, great to see another video from you, loving the glasses too, and still beautiful countryside even in the cold and wet.
Haha thank you very much, that's very kind of you and the glasses are moschino, I love them so much I've got them in black and white!!
@@lionheartmachines2193 keep the vids coming brilliant as always
@@mrLeejones that's so kind of you, thank you ever so much
What a cool biker, nice videos, lovely rides and great music.
Oh, thank you very much indeed, that's ever so kind of you and I'm very appreciative. Thank you again.
You're welcome
Hi Sophia,
I have just come across your videos and love them. My grandma couldn't drive a car but did ride a bike. She used to chuck my grandad in the sidecar.
My Dad also had bikes but I was never allowed anywhere near them 😢
I would love to learn to ride but might have bother getting my swords on the back of them 🤺
Looking forward to more videos ❤
Haha, you could get those military rifle boxes for swords (but don't get stopped by the police)!! I sometimes carry a salmon rod on mine. And your grandma sounds brilliant!!!! And ... Thank you ever so much indeed, that was a lovely comment.
@@lionheartmachines2193 💖
Great to see you out riding ya bike and looking so cool 😎
That's so lovely of you, thank you very much
Couldn't help but notice the skillful way in which you avoided those irritating and
potentially deadly potholes that seem to be a growing feature upon our once
decent roads.
If I ever buy another bike and I've been thinking about it. I'll probably be a
Summertime only rider. Old Blighty is too blighted)))⛈🥶
It's generally a sign of a third world country isn't it!!!!! A few years ago I was driving around the Gdansk and Sopot areas and was quite astounded by the pot holes, but now ours are just as bad. All around here in mid Devon they're atrocious. I always get annoyed when I see them, but I also feel ashamed that international tourists will see them and think how 'down at heel' England has become.
Loving your chaotic videos, and you're making videos again, so all I can say is keep up the hard work.
That's very sweet of you! Thank you very much indeed!
Love your sound track….
Thank you so much Sue
Hi Sophia. I've only just discovered you on here but i'm enjoying your videos, that xv is a very cool looking bike 😎. What bike is the Cafe racer ? the engine looks like a Suzuki GS. You live in a beautiful part of the country with some lovely biking roads. Keep making these crazy videos i'm loving them 👍😁
Having now seen a couple more of your videos i've answered my own question about the cafe racer, it is a GS 👍
Hello John, thank you so much for your lovely comments. Yes the cafe racer is a gs750.... glorious fun to ride. And I absolutely adore my xv. Thank you once again!
Only my second video of yours that I have watched, as I only stumbled on your channel, half an hour ago.
I would love to hear the sound of the bike, thumping through those Devon lanes, for at least part of the video, which would be music to my ears.
I've done that on one of the others (riding around Devon) and in Germany, but yes, I could do that more and waffle less!! Thank you
@@lionheartmachines2193 Oh no, I like the `waffling` 😂. It`s when the music playing, I would love to hear the sound of the bike exhaust, so ...more waffling and more exhaust 🤗
@@davericketts9101 ah that made me laugh, thank you very much I shall carry on waffling away with no lurking guilt! And yes.....more engine noise for you!
I love your taste in motorcycles. What cigar do you smoke?
Thank you!! And... Mostly Cuban cigars (H Upmanns are my favourite) but I've been smoking a fair few Dominican Republic cigars recently and they're very good indeed!!
Sophia, hope in the summer you can get out on the bike and take your fishing rod with you. It would be good to see you fishing again.
I was thinking about grayling fishing today! I'll definitely do more fishing soon. I've made a salmon rod case to put on the bike!
@@lionheartmachines2193 Too windy up in Scotland just now for fishing, I was outside earlier and saw a chicken lay the same egg three times !
@@ian436 haha!! I haven't been fishing in Scotland for a couple of years now, I should go again this spring I think. I love the memories of those mountain lochs and their utterly pure water. And the salmon fishing too of course!
This one is really good 👍
Oh thank you Bob, I've only just seen this!
You became my favorite youtuber!😊@lionheartmachines2193
@@gypsymonk8229oh that's very lovely and exciting. I've had a plop of a day and you've cheered me up!! Thank you.
I still think about that music? Have you been famous? You are a bit enigmatic and I like you ....and your work of course. Stay in touch. ❤@@lionheartmachines2193
I continue to enjoy the cut of your jib 🙂 You singing?
Very kind of you Sir! Thank you and yes it is!
Best video yet ❤
Ah, thank you very much indeed
I was born in Cullompton and schooled Tiverton left for Southampton Uni then never looked forward but I don't think I would want to return to lonely Devon to liaise with the sheep and chickens but if I knew someone as cool as you that would be exceptional.
What's wrong with sheep and chickens!? 😂 Thank you very much indeed for your generosity. Don't you ever miss Devon?
wow a bike a wnston churchill cigar.... you is really cool....
That's very kind indeed, thank you very much
Loved you in Baywatch 😂
I've no idea how to respond to this because I don't know what you mean!😊
I believe shubr66 is comparing you to Pamela Anderson 🙂
@@oot-and-aboot haha, ok, thank you for enlightening me!
Rocker Sophington 🤗👌🏻
Thank you very much Stefington
Do you record all your own music in your videos?
Yes, I've made lots of music and it means I don't face copyright laws!
@PhilMcCracken01 Blimey!!!! Really? What are the chances of that! I think that's brilliant. And...that song is very special to me because I wrote it about my grandma just before she died and I don't really listen to my own songs but I have that on a 'happy playlist' on my phone when I'm riding! Thank you for the lovely message!
Keep up the chaos x
Haha, it's hard work being chaotic!! But thank you!!
@@lionheartmachines2193 do you ever visit Union Road Moto Velo per chance?
I do occasionally!! Do you go?
I used to and loved it but moved to Guernsey a year ago keep up the vids cool chick x
and what is the name of the song that starts at 8:22
It's one of my songs (I'm singing etc) and it's called 'Up'!! I've yet to upload it to the internet.... I've decided that tomorrow I'm going to do things like that...but tomorrow keeps getting delayed!!
@@lionheartmachines2193Well, I have a few of your songs in my playlist now for when I ride. and Can't wait to add that one.
Oh that's so lovely!! That really is lovely!! Riding around California listening to me! It's delightful!!
Bet you can tell a story be a love and send me a cigar kiddo❤from liverpool
Haha thank you very much. Maybe I should include the cigars more in the videos
