    I'm shocked and appalled the coms didn't link up, I would have turned round and come home. Noo is such a trooper for sticking with it (I'm hoping by the end of the vid the coms have somehow healed)😂

      We both tried setting up a group that was the mistake, unless the Edge sets it up first it's a no go. Even the DJI mic let me down, set it for internal recording but I think Noob hit the on/off button putting it in his pocket 😖

    I love the biking community on TH-cam. How else could you be hundreds of miles from home, and get your own personal local guide👏👏👏👏👏👏
    I think it's brilliant you met up whilst Noob was up there Mike. I'll give you and Alex a shout when I can finally head North again.
    Mike, with the Mic2, I have them set to start recording as soon as you turn them on, and have it locked so that you can't accidentally turn it off.
    Blimey, they were doing up that Amulree Hotel when we were up, that's 3 years ago !! still doing it I see.
    Nice route Mike, I thought you were going up someone's garden path near the end, then saw that lovely view with the hills in the distance.👌👌

      Cheers Nige' the same Highland hospitality awaits you, hopefully later in the year before the snow limits our options. It's a real pity the Comms let us down and with hindsight I should have taken time to set up a rear facing camera. I switched the DJI to the chin mount and had the wrong mount on my bars, after faffing with the Comms we just wanted to get going.

Just be thankful I wasn't on the ZZR or the Rocket but Glen Quaich isn't really the road for either of them.

      Thanks Mick, it's the first time I've done it in the opposite direction and to be honest it had me flummoxed a little bit. Going the other way I only remember one tight corner (hairpin/switchback) at the Kenmore end, yet there were a few tight ones doing it heading up the way. I should have part two up for Sunday as I edited the entire video, so it's just a case of cutting and deleting part one then uploading it.

Who'd believe Cardo wouldn't speak to Cardo, I put the solution in the description pity I only found it after the event. I've yet to watch your recent video, I'm sure it will be very entertaining as always.

    When NooB is behind you, you know he is quietly scrutinising your line choice and lifesavers 😂 All looked good to me, as did the scenery. Great meet-up, I’m a little envious. Nice one Mr Wolf 👍🏼

    • @greywolf9292
      @greywolf9292  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I was aware of that for the entire route although with local knowledge, my line choice is often road surface dependent. He was very gentlemanly and didn't make a comment apart from asking if I'd rode those roads often, which I think was in reference to my speed. I was holding back a bit because I lost him in my mirrors a few times. It's a pity the Comms wouldn't link it would have made for a more inclusive video. I hope yourself and Twinks decide to come up sometime, there are so many sights, so many points if interest and great walks.

    Hi Michael, great ride out. Wish I knew as I could have probably popped up. Thats a shame about the Cardo not linking up. Cracking scenery as always!

    • @greywolf9292
      @greywolf9292  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You'll have seen those roads a few times now but some scenery you never tire of and I wanted Noob to experience them. There's been a couple of really bad accidents at the start of the Sma' Glen, one rider died six days after hitting a 4x4 with a trailer, then a couple on the first day of their Honeymoon got T-boned and the poor woman had to have her foot amputated.
      In the video you could see as I turned into it from Gilmerton I'd already commited when a car appeared round the bend. Some locals fly along those roads, I know I like to get a wiggle on myself but I try to observe speed limits in congested areas and even small villages. The Cardo's require a set sequence when linking Edge to Bold, if you don't get it right first time you need to switch them off and start again Edge first. Let me know when you're next free for a trip close to Perth.

      @greywolf9292 I never tire of that scenery Michael and its always a great escape from the city. Yeah I seen there was a few RTC's up there which is never good. We were out for a ride today and experienced a few idiots in cars, I almost lost the plot and was going to destroy one driver as he almost side swiped me on the motorway then refused to look at me (eyes fixed forward)

      Yes, imagine Cardo linking to Cardo needing a special sequence, we even tried Bluetooth through the phone but I think the units were still out of sync. I've never done Glen Quaich the opposite way around, it's stunning either way. No bacon rolls this time, well actually I had one before we set off, Noob had already had breakfast. He treated me to the carvery when we finished the loop.
      I took photos but my phone died two days later so I've had to take snap shots from the video. Hope you enjoyed Norway, I had plans myself this week but the Mrs took flight to Taiwan last Sunday won't be back untill Thursday.

      I'm sure you were subbed but this platform loves to play games, it removes subs and hides comments and likes. I know other channels who've commented yet I can't see their comments, some are also being treated the same. Ever wondered why the bigger money making channels are flourishing yet smaller unmonetised ones offering often better views and riding similar bikes struggle? I've noticed the likes of yourself and other Scottish channels just don't get the attention you'd expect, unless people hunt for them they're not promoted in suggestions. 😟

    At some point when the technology does not work for whatever reason you have to press on with the ride. That is the important part anyway.

    • @greywolf9292
      @greywolf9292  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes that's very true, however this wasn't an ordinary any day ride and missing communication between us takes so much away from the end result. At one point Noob was wanting me to stop to take a picture of a local sign for the village of Dull, which says it is twinned with Boring, Oregon, USA. Sadly his horn escaped my attention.

  • @pinnacle_moto

    With the cardo's did you have them both in DMC and are they both compatible?. I have the issue with one of my friends I have to switch to Bluetooth and use the app on the phone to join the group. Blasting those lanes at 85mph, I'm surprised Noob kept up :D
    Some beautiful views up there. Hopefully I will be able to come up and meet you as well soon.

    • @greywolf9292
      @greywolf9292  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      With the Cardo's it actually seems easier to link non Cardo units by the method you mention. The issue was Noob tried to add me to a group first on his Bold, then I tried adding him, then I tried Bluetooth but that's a different process. Apparently the group needs to be initiated from the Edge to begin with otherwise you've to switch them both off and start that way. Never realised I'd hit that sort of speed, it must have been on an overtake.
      Despite being tall and having a 21" front wheel the KTM does love the twisties, it's not so much fun on the hairpins though, being so high up. Get in touch when you've settled on dates, I'll happily give you a tour. Hopefully you can have a go of the ZZR if I haven't sold it, I'm considering it as I'm not getting any younger. It also gets up to ridiculous speeds in the blink of an eye but then that's why I bought it. It's also Mrs Wolf's favourite for that very same reason, often I have to spare the spurs when she asks me to give it the whip 🏍️💨😊😀😮
