Royal Enfield Classic 500 "The mules Day Out" Vol 3. Hardraw Force, The best Biking road in England! 

Beautiful country ride that is. Love hearing the 500 soldiering up those hills.

Beautiful part of the world you live in. A bikers paradise

And again, thank you so much for sharing, I'm from New Zealand and these videos are excellent... 👍👍👍👍❤️

That ride was hypnotic..

Excellent series of films Stuart! A classic ‘less is more’: less speed, more time to take in the scenery and surroundings.

I’ve never wanted to visit England quite so badly. Absolutely gorgeous scenery! I can practically feel that absolutely perfect early autumn riding weather right through the screen.

What a wonderful road! Thanks for showing it!

Extraordinary footage! It’s wonderful seeing the Enfield in its ancestral homeland of Britain. So happy our Indian friends kept the lights on and the production lines running all these years!

A Magisterial wave to all the queuing cars on clearing the bridge would have been most appropriate, another enjoyable watch.

I spent a lot of my youth touring on motorcycles and to this day, I'm still amused and amazed at some bikers antics and attitudes. Did the rider with the slightly loud exhaust think it was clever to overtake you at speed and then continue into the distance, disappearing in minutes? All that beautiful countryside and scenery wasted on him. Like the bikers we met back in the 70s who thought the main object of the Hardknot Pass was to see how fast they could ascend and then descend without too much care for others. Coming round a blind curve on my friend's Bonneville, we met them, two abreast at some idiotic speed, causing my friend to swerve into the hillside and brake hard. Embarrassingly, he lost his balance when we stopped and we both tumbled sideways onto the damp grass. Egos were bruised and fibreglass damaged but we survived. Fellow bikers, please take note, speed belongs on track days and motorways, enjoy the smaller A roads and B roads and look at the scenery! Otherwise, great video and another tug at the heartstrings of my youth when it rained everytime I went through the buttertubs!

Thanks Stuart!

Beautiful senary uncle Stu

I've watched all your videos and I really enjoy them. Greats from Bolivia 🇧🇴 SF.

Beautiful country. I kept expecting to see a Hobbit chatting with Gollum at the waterfall.

Lovely part of our great county nice video as usual 👍

Fabulous countryside!

Great series of vids. I was watching this with my headphones turned up to hear the motor. That lad at 7:40 with the fruity pipes scared the bejesus out of me :-)

Great video uncle Stu'! Thanks again ol' boy. Safe riding sir.

Nice little 3 Episode-Storry. Love your videos.

Brilliant, thank you!!

Thank you so nice to watch while we still in lockdown in Victoria oz

so The Mule showed 'em that horsepower isn't everything ;) - wonderful landscape, though. thx for taking us with you!

Nice move 🏍️on the bridge Stu.😆👍

Thanks for all your hard work SF . This has just gone on me bouquet list !

What an amazing ride!

Please keep em coming Stuart.

Thoroughly enjoyed this series, Stuart. Full of interesting history and information, taken at such a relaxing pace and perfectly narrated. You are lucky to be able to enjoy such fantastic scenery. We have a wide variety here in Australia too, and this reminds me that I should be out enjoying it more. Love the Mule, the older I get the more I feel myself leaning towards a bike like this. Beautifully done, thank you!

The UK is so amazing and beautiful and steeped in history. So looking forward to getting there one day. Fabulous that you have the freedom to explore and to see people out n 'bout doing the same. I watched this twice in near meditation to escape the walls of home detention that is now everyday life in Australia. Thanks for taking me on a much needed ride. 👍😀

Brilliant trilogy stuart thoroughly enjoyed you mules trip through the Dale's.brought back a lot of memories of many trips by the wife and me on our bikes.

Oh how I miss rides out in the mother land. Watching these videos I lament. BUT BY GOD THOSE ROADS ARE BUILT FOR BIKES! I might have to return for one more ride out! YORKSHIRE, Gods county!

Really enjoyed this little series of vids, Stu 👍🙂.

Does look like a awesome road to be on, I'm jealous .

This one ought to be nominated for....whatever awards such videos are nominated for. And you have cemented your spot as my favorite bike reviewer/travelogue/Royal Enfield guy.

Another wonderful video. „And the mule can go anywhere“! 👍😎

beautifully shot footage! speeding guy has no respect for the sheep!

Brilliant video as always Stuart and we are very lucky to have all this beautiful scenery 😃👍🏻

Have been round those roads in all sorts of vehicles but a motorcycle beats them all.

Lovely video, and I agree with you about the traffic, not just the volume but the complete ignorance of drivers in general. I love all these roads but this year it’s just been too busy which really does spoil the day out. All the best 👍👍.

What a lovely video…

How the heck have I lived decades in the North and Midlands and never seen these places? Thanks Stuart, three absolutely splendid films.

What a great ride that must have been! I'm awaiting my delivery of one of the "last of the 500s" here in Yass, New South Wales next week. Looking forward to tackling some of the back roads on it! I also fly drones and believe you me, the amount of times it's been attacked by magpies, hawks, pee wees, currawongs and even wedge-tailed eagles is astonishing.

I *must* some day travel these Yorkshire roads through this beautiful countryside! Hopefully, in two years, when my brother can legally ride, Covid will at last be gone and we can do it togeter!

Howdy- watching here from Dallas, Texas! Been there- it’s gorgeous.

Good morning Stuart, another beautifully shot video. Heading up there next week 👍 Thank you for your efforts 👌

AN EX-MANCUNIAN: now living in Australia. Thoroughly enjoying your escapades through the Yorkshire Dales bringing back memories of the rides I used to do as a young tearaway on my '66 BSA LIGHTNING. I can't say it makes me homesick but it does want to make me go for another ride through those moors. Now at 72 I still ride through the outback dodging kangaroos as well as sheep, cattle and all manner of Oz wild life. Good onya mate, keep it up, much appreciated.

Lovely stuff Stuart!

Great vid mate. I had a good laugh at the Mexican standoff. Beautiful English countryside.

That new font angered me ! I had to calm down with a chamomile tea and a hot buttered muffin 👍 Beautiful area to ride I don't know why people tear down it like thier arse is on fire , the scenery is just stunning what's the point in seeing a green blur , followed by a grey blur then the ceiling of an ambulance??? The clothes line barriers are similar to the ones on Hardknott ......Great ride !

Really liked the tour, would love to see the Tan Hill Inn as i walked the Pennine Way many moons ago and loved that area.

Very enjoyable, this trilogy! You shared your trip for most of us who can't or haven't done it, but want to.

Brilliant as always! I got back late on Friday after a week spent in the dales and I agree with you, it is God's own country! There is nowhere I would rather be especially on my bike and walking the Dales. As for the tour buses, and buses in general, which plonker thought it would be a good idea to take a bus down those single track roads? Its the me where I live. The local Council say they have put on a bus service but the company they have outsourced the work to only have large and old coaches so they are totally unsuitable for the single track narrow lanes down which they serve. Plus, almost always, there are only 2 maximum 3 people on a bus that could take 50+. So, why not a minibus? Stupidity at its best!!!! Great series thank you! I'm off to North Yorkshire via the Wolds a week tomorrow so I will look out for the Mule on my way. TTFN

Just had a night at the Ribblehead Station Inn, I'll give the Green Dragon a visit next time I'm in that area. Great vid/recommendations 👍

Super job Stu!!!! I will never get tired of watching your vids! Always entertaining with great educational commentary and superb scenery. Can't wait for the next one!!!

Always been a fan of simply enjoying the ride and taking in the scenery as oppose to getting places as fast as you can. Great video and loved watching every Minute. 😎

Thanks Uncle Stu!… I now have to go pee 😂😂 Thanks for Part III of the Mule’s Grand Days Out. Always a joy to watch my friend! 👍

Brilliant series. The dash on the mule is just perfect! Keep up the good work 👍

Well done Uncle Stu 👏 these videos are wonderful I look forward to more. Ride and be safe. Ron.

That road was built for bikes like the Enfield, great video.

As per the usual, extraordinary scenery amidst the quiet chuffing sounds of his Enfield single.

The old Royal Enfield long stroke singles are wonderful bikes, though the build quality could be better. I have a 2013 B5 Bullet (not the Classic) it looks a lot like the earlier Bullets, but has the UCE engine. It came with EFI and a huge heavy catalyst exhaust. I quickly replaced the EFI with an Amal carburetor using a kit from Hitchcocks, and also replaced that awful exhaust with an aftermarket unit that looked more like the exhausts on early 2000s Bullets, with no catalysts. I left the end cap baffle out. We can still get away with all that stuff in the U.S. It is a dream to ride, with that long stroke single going thump thump thump at fairly low rpm. I usually ride it at 55 mph (88.5 km/h) and it just lopes along making that wonderful sound and that low frequency vibration. It's a very relaxing, almost hypnotic experience. I can ride it all day. Unfortunately I have to stay close to home and ride over the same roads over and over again. I am no longer able to fix a flat tire with tube type tires, and I was left stranded once due to an electrical issue. So I stay in towing range of my road service plan. It is still a very pleasant way to spend a day. I have managed to put just over 16K miles on it during the past 8 years. I sure wish somebody made a bike like it with tubeless tires and better reliability.

That has chilled me out for day. Thanks Stuart.

Yet another wonderful video stu the Mule fits in perfectly with the surroundings (& sounds great too) & certainly came into its own in that traffic jam Long Live The Mule👍🏻😎🍺

My late wife's family were from Grassington and I've been all over the Dales, but not for several years. Looks like the next time will have to be in midwinter to avoid the traffic - and on a bike.

Stuart, obsoletely wonderful trilogy you made for us all. It reminds me of the Antrim coast up through Ballymena.

good work

Superb vlogs Stu 👍

Absolutely brilliant again love these country rides Looking forward to next one mate

A great finale to a great series. Thanks Stu!

Lovely series of videos that have been very enjoyable to watch. It makes me want to go and maybe I will on my Bullet. Thanks again. Bye Stuart 😊

Pre COVID I have been a full time pro musician all of my life however, that was all stopped and I had to take a driving job for Amazon. During the winter I was delivering all around these places you have visited with the mule. It’s really great to see these places again albeit in less treacherous circumstances weather wise than when I was there. Thanks for the vids

Great series on your trip, I’m looking forward to being back in the uk soon and just doing what you have been doing! 👍

Outstanding video series thoroughly enjoyed every moment absolutely breathtaking views and roadways you really make me feel like I'm right there with you riding along the sheep just wandering around in the road gave me a chuckle be safe my friend

Excellent series of videos Uncle Stu 👍🏻 Can’t wait for your next adventure

Brilliant wee series. Now if you will excuse me I REALLY need to take a run on my bike...

Great series, this trip has been added to my to do list! Nice one Stu

Another great vid. Took delivery of my black and cream classic today, love it. Thanks for the inspiration 👍

Cracking trilogy that was. The Mule seems to be an excellent bike for the job. Stay safe brother and steady away 👍🤙

Great vid Stu, always a de-stresser watching your stuff, cheers.

The BIG advantage of a bike, there is allways an little space to pass

Great Video, love Old England Stuart.🇬🇧

Nice one Stuart, you're right about being busy in the dales, Ribble head was like Blackpool on a sunny bank holiday the other week....

Simply wonderful 😊👌

loving the mule life, I chopped my panigale for a (sensible) S1000R which is comfortble, flexible...and batshit crazy when I lose my shit with the faffers

I love so much my Classic Mule that this week I bought two new Portugal partial maps at bigger scales , in order to explore more litle roads like those you rode. Tank you.

Travelled from Kettlewell to Hawes a few months back & seemed to think it a lot busier with traffic than i remembered, had the complication of what looked like a diesel slick most of the way & had to take some cautious lines just in case.

You do know that Yorkshire is going to get full up due to your exellent video’s🤔👍cannot wait for the next one😀

Love your videos, Stuart. Beautiful country you have there. Love the bike as well. Might have to get one of the classic 350's when they are available in North America.

Very entertaining. Great vid and looking forward to your thoughts on the Mule as a long distance tourer.Thanks.

Hello stu ,just watched your cracking video as Ive just spent Saturday/Sunday in that neck of the woods camping near Thornton leadale (we’re bangers n cash are located)in a campsite called low farm campsite,had a great time on me little Suzuki 250 v strom up n down loads of roads ive never encountered before(Blake’s bank a173 I think)and I very sort trip on rudland rigg(bit too scary for me)any way keep the great vids coming and ride slow ha 👀

The wire barriers DO work, they stopped a car and trailer coming over the central reservation that would have squashed me flat. I imediately took the next exit to a service station to calm down and change my underwear.

Looks like the perfect bike for the job once you are there Stuart.

Great stuff. Your choice of bike is perfect and where you went is a bikers dream. Ive got a Yamaha V Star 650 . It suits my 55 year old frame and great to ride. I live in Qld Australia so the roads are straighter and longer bike good all the same. Enjoy your videos, looking forward to your take on the new BSA 650. Cheers. 😃

Great video again, recently been up there on the Himalayan, like The Mule why would you want to go any faster, perfect machines for the job.

That took me back to last year when I did the Buttertubs on my bullet it's the perfect bike for the scenery and sense of place! I have since swapped the bullet for a Himalayan which is a very different but in its own way excellent bike. Mind you if another bullet comes up at the right price I would add it to the garage.

Great video. I really enjoyed it. Our local roads around where I live, here in Kentucky, are often no wider. But our four-legged obstructions are not sheep, but usually cattle or horses. Our terrain consists of usually even steeper hills, however, and is much more heavily wooded. Regarding those cable guardrails, they are becoming quite numerous here in the U.S. as well. The original intent was that they be placed in the median strip of the freeways, and were intended to be a kind of car-catcher to prevent vehicles from accidentally crossing through the median and entering the other traffic lane that is going the other way. They are, however, being installed in place of the old Armco Barriers, I presume because they are cheaper to install. As a motorcyclist you should be especially careful around them. They can act somewhat like one of those cheese slicers. You may be in one piece when you hit it, but may be in two or three when you come out the other side. In addition, there was locally an incident a couple of years ago where there was an automobile accident which disabled a car containing a mother and her pre-teenage daughters. The mother got everyone out of the car and to the off-road side of the cable barrier where they would presumably have been safe. One of her girls, however, was standing close to the cable. An inattentive driver came upon the accident, panic-braked and lost control, and hit the cable barrier some distance away. But this cause the cables to whip, which struck the little girl in the abdomen and killed her!

Stuart great series of videos I’m a Lancastrian but you make a very strong case to explore the Yorkshire side of the Pennies. You should be recognised by the Yorkshire Tourist Board for your work promoting the County thanks Stuart

Marvellous video. Thank you Stuart. ps. I must say I do get a guilty pleasure of watching a useless, incompetent and timid car driver who has stupidly driven themselves into becoming the last piece in a gridlock. They are so thick they didn’t see it coming, don’t realise what they have done and fail to accept that they are the only ones who can unlock the puzzle. These are the people who drive their vehicles well below the standard of a normal competent driver.

Loved watching your trip. You've convinced me to visit the area, but as you recommend, just out of tourist season to avoid all the crowds. Do the same for Yosemite otherwise it is horrible and I am not one to queue 😁

Well hell, I went up and over The Buttertubs from Hawes on Wednesday, stopping off at the Tan Hill Inn, then to Ravenseat before dropping down to Kirkby Stephen. Beautiful roads, awesome scenery. My videos aren’t as good as yours though, ha ha. On Buttertubs, I did capture footage of a trainer plane flying along side the road (in the opposite direction to me), which made my day ! Excellent video again sir.
