Hello, Dave. Another real treat. Your videos never fall to delight me. Right from the start we had the delightful 'finger post' and then the industrial heritage. And that wonderful landscape. Quite magnificent. A ride to be enjoyed over and over. If I could only watch one RU-vid video it would be yours and this one in particular. Love the variety of modes you have on the Classic 😉 Thank you. Peter
Morning Peter, it's a lovely area, have you ever been there? I loved the old finger post, much nicer than the new boards, or is that just our age lol. I'm jetting off today for a week in fuertaventura. No bike for a week, not sure I can cope. Take care mate, ride safe, Dave
Thanks once again for a great video. You have just travelled my local, best kept secret road., I enjoy riding this route on my Interceptor on Sunday mornings.If this road now gets busy I will blame you😂 I hope you enjoyed a pork pie in Helmsley. Ride safe and I look forward to meeting you on the road one day.
Hi Jeff, I will take the blame lol. I sure di have a pork pie at Hunters. It's worth the 70 mile drive from home just for that. Or if I'm feeling flushed some food at the feathers. We will have to try and sort a meet up for a pie each. Ride safe, Dave
Enjoyed that, riding a bike with no fancy gadgets and gizmo’s is pure joy, that the need for speed brigade will never understand. Couple that with roads like those, and it’s sheer bliss.
I enjoyed a loop ride with other RE owners yesterday here in Devon. It was an absolute magic day ! Great bike - great scenery and the company of RE friends😊
Excellent video, the views were fantastic and you had the perfect day for it. Yorkshire really is god’s own County and I’m glad I live here too..!Keep the videos coming. 👍
Always enjoy watching you ride this fantastic machine that is the RE Classic 350. Got my Signals Marsh Grey last November. Absolute pleasure to ride around the country backroads. The soundtrack of your motorbike is just sweeeet music to our ears. Keep 'em coming!👌 Ride safe.
What a beautiful ride, the Enfield sounds and looks great, that lovely engine throb, love these videos, countryside is fantastic big wide open vistas, I'm getting on in years, but if I ever went back to a motorcycle I would look no further than a Royal Enfield, thanks for all the enjoyment, best wishes, Colin.
Wonderful ride through beautiful country, Dave. Thank you again. I enjoyed the bit about the lead mine pits. Near my town of Madison Wisconsin is fair amount of historic lead mining. I'm near Tower Hill, which is near architect Frank Lloyd Wright's home, Taliesin. This stone tower was built over a deep well, which was attached to a horizontal tunnel connected to a Wisconsin River tributary. Molten galena lead was dropped from the top through the tower and through the well. Perfectly straight down. As the molten lead fell, it cooled into round pellets for shot. At the bottom, it landed in a pool of river water where cooled further and was shoveled into canoes for market. I'll try take my Royal Enfield 350 Classic over there this spring and post you a video. Thanks.
Hi Paul That sounds really interesting. Is it a tall brick tower? I remember watching something on TV and it was about a tower they used for making less shot. I'm looking forward to seeing a video of it when you can. Ride safe, Dave
Hi, thanks, glad you enjoy them. I will keep them coming, I have a series planned for later, possibly over winter or a camping trip to Northumberland. Did you say in one of the comments you're in Hull and wanted details of the Enfirled group
Now I think you enjoyed that! What stunning scenery. Great video that to watch, great quality audio too that really helps with the enjoyment. See you on another video soon hopefully 👍🏻
Ho I sure did. I was grinning all the way round. I've ridden and been round in my camper loads of times, but it's one of those roads I never get tired of. Ride safe, Dave
It's always a pleasure to hear your commentary while you ride, allowing the viewer to feel part of the journey you take us on. Watching your videos has persuaded me to make my next bike a R E 350, trading in my Suzuki 250, which I hope to buy soon. Looking forward to watching your future videos, ride safe always.
It's dry and 6c here. At moment I'm sat in hotel at Newcastle ready to catch the big silver bird tomorrow for a week in Fuerteventura. A whole week with no bike, how will I cope!!
Nice descriptive and informative video, my sort of video, and I know just what you mean about the intoxicating sound of that single cylinder engine. Absolutely no need for any other soundtrack. Nice one thanks. 👍
Many thanks for this one in particular. Had forgotten this road. Enjoyed it the other day on my Tiger1200 xca the other day. Now contemplating buying a classic 350!
Hi me as well, much better than battling with all that traffic on the main roads. And if its a bit slower, that means you ride lasts longer, bonus!! Ride safe, Dave
Hi dave i was born n bred in weardale co durham and it is littered with every type of quarrying and mining workings... how we never fell down into mineshafts quarry edges etc as kids ill never know....😖👌👌 ps some cracking channels with enfields we have these days...well done to all
A very nice video with super scenery.Always like your moderation of the scene and the Enfield sounds sweet and happy.The weather was lovely but i am sure that it was cold and i would have opened the gates for you but i was sitting on my tele sofa warm and dry but i was mentaly with you Dave😄😄🍀🍀Ride safe.Pete
Hi, just watched this. This is on my doorstep, almost, living near Malton. That is a lovely loop, and some nice walking there too. If you'd gone straight on where you debated which way to go, it is a dead end with an old historic church. You can make yourself a brew there as they leave tea and hot water. When did you do this ride, we were walking there on Saturday, over the tops to Farndale.
I’m with you on modes and other technology. I remember when not having to kick start a bike was the height of tech and don’t need the bike to decide what is suitable riding for the conditions 😀😀😀
Another grand vlog Dave. A road I'll be visiting soon no doubt. Similar roads your subscribers may enjoy is the Kettlewell to Middleham route over the tops. Caught up with your back catalogue now. Keep doing what you are doing. All the best. Tom
Dave…..where you from bud? I’m from Scarborough so I’m guessing your a similar area. Just getting on with my bike currently and start my green laning adventures. First solo ride is the Ruttland rigg trip you did a year ago. Cannot wait. Maybe see you out and about 👍 keep the videos going would love to see what we have around us to ride on. All the best. Safe riding
Hi Dave, You certainly know how to enjoy biking. You go on the most spectacular routes. Always enjoy your channel and commentary, You bike does sound sweet, just love that effort less sound.
Hi thanks for commenting. I do have a lot of fantastic roads to ride not far from me. I love the sound of the little 350, especially when it's pulling up a hill. Ride safe, Dave
I was just thinking this scenery remnds me of the television program "All Creatures Great and Small (latest version is on Public Television here, but I liked the actors in the older program in the 'Eighties too). Your videos are so relaxing to watch; I really appreciate them. Thanks.
Hi, I just love those roads as well, I can't get enough of them. There is a video coming up in a couple of weeks that from the same area, but with a bit of a different theme to it! Ride safe, Dave
Really love the vistas, I can’t wait to ride some of roads you’ve shown us. It’s truly inspiring. Do you ever upload the ride data so others can ride what they have seen? Regards Dave.
That’s great, I bet people would love to have a route. I’m not sure what RU-vid allows, but I know personally I’d pay a subscription fee or something similar to get the routes you’ve done. Someone like you who knows the area and history is a godsend to others who want to see the back roads and beautiful scenery. !!!
you are one of the guys that have persuaded me to buy an Enfield 350. I have an 1100cc bike at the moment and am beginning to find it intimidating and hard work. how is the Beemer for you?
Hi, I have to be honest, since getting the RE Classic 350 last July I haven't been on the BM at all. I don't find it too bad, but I wouldn't take it where I will go on the RE. The lakes tour is a case in point, I went up the Hardknott Pass on the 350 but would have been a bit more reluctant on the BM. Just in case I had to get a foot down on the off camber bits, would the weight be a bit much? I don't miss the speed really either. Trouble is I don't like selling a bike lol, thats why I have 6 of the things. Ride safe, Dave
Another great little run around the Yorkshire Moors as you say Dave sometimes you just don,t need to rush for a ride to be enjoyable and what a great little soundtrack. Keep enjoying the decent weather we are having at the moment and we(my wife loves your video,s too even though she is not a bike fan) look forward to your next upload.
Hi, Thanks for the lovely comment. It really cheers me up when I know people are enjoying the videos. There are lots more ready to go. I'm flying out tomorrow for a week in Fuerteventura, how will I cope with now bike 😪 Ride safe, Dave
New subscriber here! Loving watching your rides. I'm trying to decide which to pull the trigger on, the 350 classic or an interceptor. I can't for the life of me decide. I've tried both and love them both for different reasons. Something about the single thump is almost therapeutic though and I fancy being able to do what you do yourself, aim for the smaller roads and set of with a tent. Then if I do settle on the 350... it's which colour to go for!! It's between the black or the chrome for me.
Hi, thanks for subscribing. I had the same issue, decided to go with the classic as it felt more retro and suited the back roads and just bimbling about. I was going to get the chrome and red, but fell for the Halsion Black. I don't regret one bit of getting it. Let me know which you go for, ride safe, Dave
@That bloke on a motorbike that's the same thing that's pulling me towards the 350. It just felt like a pleasant, friendly ride to me that made me smile. And I've wanted a bullet ever since watching Nick Sanders ride one round the world on TV in the 90's. Hard to explain the attraction to people who don't get it isn't it. It's not about bhp is it. It's the feel. I'll be sure to update when I pull the trigger. Hopefully after my next pay day 😅. Keep up the great videos 👍👍
