Dave gets vocal again as we get ourselves up into the beautiful Isle of Skye, Applecross and the Trossachs.
If you don't mind watching middle-aged men moaning and having a little too much craft ale influencing their conversations you may actually get some related information about the roads we travel and the bikes we are riding.
For those of you that are regulars Dave is his usual self, perhaps even more grumpy than usual :-)

Fun video especially during COVID when my new V85TT sits at home day dreaming of trips like yours. I’ve been up that way but bus with no way to stop and camp. Certainly worth a journey over the pond from Colorado and give it a go. Cheers

And there was me thinking, they've packed it in or something horrible has happened. The Bealach na Ba (Pass of the Cattle) is the pads/road over to Applecross ! Wild camping on Loch Lomond, thought that was banned a few years ago ! Always enjoyable watching the banter with you guys! Belting video. I'm off to Glencoe from Warwickshire in three weeks, camping at Invercoe campsite with the BMW Motorcycle club. Cheers lads !

Wild camping is legal, but for certain areas and specific times of the year must first obtain a permit. Apply here: www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/things-to-do/camping/get-a-permit/

Hi Andy, great video, thank you. I have a question! What are your thoughts about the short screen and have you tried the touring screen at all, my Guzzi comes on Tuesday. Cheers. 🏍😎
@andybcole
@andybcole 3 года назад
I’m six foot and haven’t felt the need for a touring screen. The temperature got down to just above zero on this trip and it rained a little and I emerged unscathed. I’m also not a fan of the looks of the big touring screens, makes a beautiful bike look a bit ugly (IMHO)

Gents. Have been watching the videos over the last couple of months. Great viewing, fantastic easy going style. You are obviously good buddies. Dave has one of the best sense of humour I've seen for a long time. Although your major trips are great, I like the UK based days just as much and as a fellow camper the camp videos are very good. I don't have a GS, I have a Tiger 800 Which is my price and not (it's nearly as clean as Dave's GS!). If ever you are looking for people to.ride with I would be happy to meet up. I am up by the PrO District near Congelton. Keep making the videos and make sure you keep safe.

Hi, great trip fellas. I see that the Guzzi has now got the crash bars and luggage and looks superb. How did you find it on this trip for comfort, power especially with keeping up with the Gs's? I'm now in the market for a new bike and with you having the experience of 4 Gs's and and the v85tt how do they compare? For the price of A new new v85tt you could get a nice GS 1200 , what's your opinion on that option . I'm not interested in PCP rental rubbish . Everyone seems to have a Gs these days and no one gives them a second look on the car park, but the Moto Guzzi is a real head turner. Your thoughts and opinions would be appreciated. Rob
@andybcole
@andybcole 5 лет назад
Absolutely no problem whatsoever with comfort or ability to keep up. The Guzzi has great low down torque which is exactly what is needed on these kinds of roads and it cruises comfortably on the cruise control at motorway speeds. You would have to be a seriously quick rider who should probably be on a sports bike to draw massive differences between the two unless you were on a track.

Very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing. Just shows, with good weather the old UK (ok Scotland) is simply the best for a motorcycle tour. I’m very tempted to buy a V85tt over a nearly new GS. Gotta be the Guzzi, surely......?

Thank you Andy. Always had older Guzzi’s; T3’s, Le Mans etc. Had a solitary BMK100RS - heavy, characterless but effective. Mind now made up after so many positive reports on the V85. Keep posting those vids; very watchable!

Great video Andy, I've had my Guzzi a week now and I love it, It's different to anything else I've had in 45 years of biking and I think different is the key word. there's nothing else like it on the market, It puts a huge smile on my face every time I ride it. How many miles have you done now ?
@andybcole

Up to about 4,000 and not as many as I would like but also have a camper van so split loyalties!
@michaelhayward7572
@michaelhayward7572 5 лет назад
Tell you a story. Back in the 90's, every year, 5-6-7-8 of us close friends would go on a Euro run road trip in August for 9-10 days. Old Brit twins, old Harleys, Guzzi Cali's etc. Get away from the UK, warm dry weather and Euro food and drink and culture. Wonderful. One year we said lets go to Scotland instead of Austria, Italy and the Alps all the time. Yes the roads and the scenery is stunning a la this great video. But the weather! In August! Jesus that year was bad. Never again we said in unison. We go on holiday on bikes we want sunshine. Not waterproofs all day every day. Edit. That was the only run/trip we ever cut short too, we had just had enough of being cold and wet all day. Every day.

@Banditmanuk
@Banditmanuk 5 лет назад
New to the channel, probably the longest intro I've ever sat through but held my nerve. Nicely made vid. Glad to see someone stray away from the middle aged man's staple GS and go down the Guzzi route, is it powerful enough??
@andybcole
@andybcole 5 лет назад
It is for me, it can get a proper lick on when it needs to, be aware if you test ride one with less than 750 miles on it, the power is knobbled until the first service when a new engine map goes on.
@Banditmanuk
@Banditmanuk 5 лет назад
@@andybcole That's interesting because my dealer who sold me my MT10 discouraged me from taking a test ride on the Guzzi when their demo arrived. He had just ridden it to the dealership and said I would think it was underpowered. Let's be honest most bikes will after the MT10 but I do like the looks especially in Ronald McDonald yellow. Trying not to get dragged down the GS route like so many others. Cheers Richard H.

I have used Metzeler Roadtecs and also Continental Road Attack 3 .... both unbeatable for both “feel” and grip, imho, (but; wear very (arguably unacceptably) far too fast (2000 miles approx life! ) I hear, from friends, that the Michelin road 5 last up to 5500 miles on a GS, so that will be my next purchase.
