It’s the start of the first big adventure on the Royal Enfield Classic 350, a three day trip to the Lake District. I will be riding the lakes high passes including the Hardknott Pass, the steepest in England. Let’s see how the plucky little bike copes with them.
I’m staying in youth hostels, another first for me, I’ve booked a private room, but it will be an experience!
On the first leg I ride over the upper Pennines to Ullswater for my first night.
Pull up a chair, get a cuppa and let’s go for a ride!
My Bikes:
BMW R1150RT
Royal Enfield Classic 500
Royal Enfield 350 machismo with sidecar
Honda ST1100 Pan
Suzuki GN125
Yamaha 535 Virago

I find your videos almpst as joyful, relaxed and chilled as I do riding my own Classic 350 reborn. I only have 500 miles on it but a National park tour beckons. Thanks for your time and for posting.

Love your videos and this is the reason why I have decided to get my bike licence after years of procrastinating. Doing it the DAS rute and once passed, a Classic 350 will be bought. This is what retro biking is all about and what a fantastic machine.

Great vids! I've a Classic350 arriving in a few days from Preston Motorcycles. It'll take a little to get used to it after 40 years absence. I'm up Nth Lakes, 10 miles NE of Penrith. Totally looking forward to really exploring all the lakes lanes that I wouldn't take a car down. I know the sun will return one day.

Well doesn't this video just show that you don't need to fly everywhere at 90mph to have a good ride. In fact this, for me, surpasses that, relaxed riding, taking in the scenery, stress levels virtually nil, wonderful. Many thanks, regards.

As you say, Dave 'WOW'. - Decided to watch this series from the start so I've a very enjoyable few days ahead of me. You narrate your ride effortlessly which I suppose comes from talking to your trainee motorcyclists as you ride through an intercom device. I have to do mine afterwards. Nice that you don't move your head overmuch so we don't get giddy. Taking a break from watching now we've reached Bolton Abbey. Peter

@@thatblokeonamotorbike aha so that's where it is! Ainsworth Rider and his chum Silver Fox are often seen there. 😂. Thanks for the information, Dave. Just waiting to hear back from Preston motorcycles who apparently have messed up the allocation for my Hunter - or MotoGB have. But it may be an ill wind... I'll tell you why as soon as I hear from them. I love my Meteor but had the Hunter been available when I ordered in January 2020 I may have chosen that. Water under. Keep warm. Peter

On the second part of the first episode now, Dave while having breakfast. Oh my this is just the very best riding. Such a landscape and you enable us to enjoy it so well. I was on holiday in this part of the Dales in September and it's great to be taken there again. Your enthusiasm bubbles over! That sat sounds really great. Is it 'CallyMoto? ". Not come across it but I think it sounds ideal. Thank you for sharing your ride with me. Peter

This upload of yours has just popped up, thought I’d have a look and so happy I did. Your narration is clear and camera position is spot on 👌. Now, it’s your channel and it’s ultimately your decision what you do with it, but the background music when your narrating is a little irritating 😢. The sound from you and the glorious sound from the engine and exhaust note is more than enough to listen to. I have just subscribed and will take a good look at all your uploads, as I too am a Yorkshire Dales and Lake District rider. All the very best 👍🏻

I guess the roads were built before automobiles. Is that why they are so narrow?
@thatblokeonamotorbike
@thatblokeonamotorbike Год назад
Hi Bob, most roads in the UK go back hundreds if not thousands of years. Especially the roads I tend to travel with the drystone walls were originally footpaths and drovers roads. One reason they are so twisting is they would go around field bounders. it all makes for a very picturesque landscape. Ride safe, Dave

Loved this video but, although I hate to make any kind of criticism, the background music was unnecessary and, quite frankly, awful. The burble of the Enfield exhaust would have been more soothing to us bike lovers. Sorry to criticise.
