@@JulianSciarrillo Definitely! I've put the GPX file in the description so you can load it onto maps.

@mikegreen6113 thanks for commenting Mike, sorry to hear about your mishap, hope there wasn't too much damage! Yes my stop on that layby was to let the few vehicles in front disappear so I could have the road to myself. I could have overtook, but there are as you know few places to do that due to the twisties. Like any good bike route, if you can go when the weathers good & not holiday time, it's so much more enjoyable. Yep the Gorge I recommend riding up then down again, awesome!

@ scratches to fairing and right hand pannier but not too bad, broke off the right hand front indicator, repaired by Bridge in Exeter.

@mikegreen6113 these things happen I guess, least no injuries!

@@johndickinson657 certainly was John, we have some nice places to ride here in the UK 👍

@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I was planning on just doing the wynrose and hardknott. Now I've watched your video I am going to do the same. Ride up from leeds camp overnight the hit the road early. Bring on the good weather 😀👍👍👍👍

@johndickinson657 definitely recommend planning on doing it in good weather. If you are flexible to go when the weather is favourable & off peak you'll enjoy it all the more. Let me know how your bigger trip goes & enjoy! 👍. Daz

@alanrainey3778 yeah I'd tend to agree with you Alan if you are use to those steep switch backs. It's such a great area to ride, I'll definitely be going back!

@petterzingmark8795 that's great, it's an awesome ride isn't it. Interesting to hear about the bike limitations according to your time riding. Who did you rent from? Like you say though, you don't necessarily need a big bike for the twisties. I'd love to go there again. Thanks for sharing 👍

@ I honestly did not feel any limitations.. maybe a bit more power could be nice when making quick overtakes on the shorter straight passes but it was never an issue. I rented from Moto & Bike Rent in Playa del Ingles

@peterbuxey4355 I'm very jealous, hope you enjoyed the bucket list ride! Hopefully I'll get to do it in 2025 as it's been put off for 2 years due to bad weather in May & September.

Weather was perfect goldie locks not to hot not to cold not much rain an no mosquitoes fingers crossed I’ll do it again if you do nc500 I would suggest you do it anticlockwise I also if you can find the time to pop over to Isle of Skye kelpies and Falkirk wheel pretty amazing aswell pissed of I didn’t get into Edinburgh

@peterbuxey2151 thanks for the tips there, I'm intending to visit Skye. I'm thinking of going clockwise though, I know the East coast isn't as spectacular so I'll probably slice through the middle of the north cost then down to the Cairgorns 👍

Good choice enjoy Food up there is very good and not to pricey beers not to shabby either

@joebloggs1317 I bolted it onto the Llandovery Loop which is a great ride. So I'd recommend doing The Devils Sraircase as part of that route 👍

@@cengizkurban Nylon tyre?

@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips yes. Check the rear tyre . You'll see the Dunlop Roadsport 2 tyre that comes with the bike. Rear is Nylon. It works well when the tyre is warm. BUT, the grip is no good when on lean. That's my experience.

@cengizkurban arh right, thanks for your tip & experience with this tyre 👍

@windyruss Honestly, some of the roads there are brilliant. You won't regret it if you did. Let me know if you do & how you rate it? Cheers bud, thanks for commenting 👍

@gradimirilic3999 I think it did yes, that bike was ideal for those twisties & sounded beautiful on the odd straight when opening it up! I'd love to go back there again, fond memories up on that mountain. Are you hiring with PicYPok? If so could you mention you found the shop via my video 👍

Yes, I booked with them. I will say that I found them through your video.. thanks

Nice one, you'll have a fantastic time 👍

I bet you have some fond memories Tony, on a nice day it's absolutely stunning whether hiking or on 2 wheels.

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Not just memories but digital photographs as well.

A long way from Essex, I seen a lady camp with a dog up on the Pass near the Roman Fort. I can see the enjoyment of that perspective too. I'm hoping to go back next year & spend more time riding the Lakeland Pass. Hopefully, I will have a crack at the Pyranese Mountains next year too 👍😀

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips I first encountered the Lake District on my first of two crossings of the Coast to Coast hike, having previously served 3 yrs in the UK Infantry and to train for Joining Up I did the Pennine Way twice. After my second crossing on your route I was back in Scotland Hiking South to Lands End, 3 months to finish that Hike then a years break before heading back to Lands End for a Hike upto John OGroats, then a 5 year break from Long Distance Hikes before once again heading to John O Groats for a Clockwise Circumnavigation of the UK Coast Line (20 Yrs before it will become the King Charles Way) after that I restricted myself to just day hikes with my camera to photograph UK Wildlife and Orchids. Now retired and never having married I spend my day on UA-cam watching and commenting on videos that appeal to me. Tony in Essex

The book I used was 'Great Motorcycle Tours of Europe' by Colette Coleman. The route started from Wurzburg to Berchtesgaden. I guess you could start from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to enjoy more of the roads after that. Rothenburg is a stunning walled city.

The route was taken from the great book 'Great Motorcycle Tours of Europe' by Colette Coleman. Her version encompasses 'The Romantic Road' & the 'Alpine Road'. Some great rides in the book, I fully recommend a look!

@oddjob4877 Great feedback oddjob, thank you for that👍. That's great to know especially after all the bikes you have ridden. I really like it too.

@dave-ef2fd thanks Davd. Yes, you're right I meant position 1,2 & 3. The Bikesafe workshop is a worthwhile thing to do & very good value. I've found using that land method has vastly improved my riding along with all the other tips. You are so right too in terms of camouflage & not being seen. I've also attended a 'Biker Down ' course which is run by the Fire service. I'll do a little video on that too soon as it covers clothing colours whilst riding a bike. Thanks for your comments 👍

@jasoncorah2761 thanks Jason, I appreciate your comment. Lovely areas for biking there 👍

@@DavidTurnbull-m2y exactly 👍

@@fuglbird yeah, totally agree, I cant think of anything favourable getting stuck behind one of those or one approaching! When you think it was built by the Romans as a military road & horses & carts. Not a great big friggin motor home! 🤔

@@Thabang_G Definitely 👍. Have u had the chance to ride one or are you an owner?

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTripsThis is my next bike, I’m a new rider and taking delivery of my G310R next week, but in two years I’m hoping to get on a 900R! I think it’s stunning and very well balanced for me.

@@Thabang_G that'll be a great transition eventually from the GS310 to the F900R. You have some exciting times ahead. Let me know how it all works out. I posted a vid on the GS310 too, it'd be great to get your feedback/comments on here how you get on with both bikes as an owner 👍👊

@@theodavies8754 awesome thanks for that info theo. Cheddar is short but beautiful, I'm wanting to experience bigger places like this like the Pyrenees so I'll definitely check this out for the future, cheers👍

For sure!

Thanks Richard, I only went Sunday, 1st time, enjoyed it, it had a different kind of vibe compared to other shows. As you can see I wanted to do a piece on the Bond bikes. I actually registered for a paddle (the number to vote with) Who was I kidding! Take care both, probably see you on on one of the next shows! 👍

The look of a bike is subjective I guess 🤔

@@22OLI22 Why do you ask specifically?

@@charlesbarnett2724 For sure, years of riding & competing to have those skills 👏💯

@@archiemillington306 my friend lives in South Wales, he's either out on his GSA on or off road or his dirt bike off roadie, he loves it but I guess I can understand what you saying a bit like too much of a good thing?

@@garethholmes9497 😁 I think I need to invest in one of those 'bee line' navigational aids 🤣. Yeah our adventures something always seems to not go as planned, from road closures to mishaps 😂. But thats what makes them adventures & as in my latest trip, I even got an award for it!! 🤣

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips yes, it does make our trips entertaining of which I thoroughly enjoy. Keep up the great work DMT, and I’m always at the end of the phone for a natter or trip out! 🤘🏻😎

@@garethholmes9497 Cheers Gazza, definitely up for a ride out when the weathers good & you're free 👍👊

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips the heated grips are on and my cold wether gear has had a water proofing treatment so I’m good to go 💪🏻👊🏻

@@garethholmes9497 Good to here 👊. My liners are now in my RST clothing & I'm in the process of applying ACF50 to the bikes. I'll be up for a ride out if nothings on. My next interest is to see what 2 particular motorbikes with special providence sell for at a upcoming auction? 🤔

Awesome thanks & glad I posted for those that couldn't stop to see the talented finalists 👏👍

@@michaelnoakes5803 Hi Michael, nice to meet you today, thanks for letting me get some footage 👍👏. Not sure how I'll use it yet? How can I send it once I've downloaded it?

@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips please find my mobile on my buissness page on Google Elite Greenscape Gardens did you get some photo aswell?

@@1555rs Yeah I know what you mean bud. Bit like the Cat & Fiddle Road & many others, Nanny State!

Awesome Paul, thanks for this message & it was great to hook up with you three on the Brecon Beacons Loop & Walters, now I know what it's all about I think I'd get on a lot better next time & put some better tyres on! I'll gratefully give you a shout if I come over to North Wales again, thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep in touch via the 'Team Upright' Whattsapp group 👍

I did put it in the description but here it is again. Dates are up for 2025 & still only £250. Here you go...www.offroadskills.com/inventory/gs-trophy-uk-qualifier go...

@@glinleyt I think if I had nobblys I'd have progressed a lot lot better. It probably made me look really bad but the 2nd loop showed me for example on that hill I just went straight up. The silt was really slippy with the tyres I had. But it was great weekend to up my confidence off road. I dont need a lighter bike yet, on the road im perfectly fine touring, I love the GS for that. Sorry it was painful to watch but it was truthful.

@@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips Yeah, sometimes surfaces can be really deceiving, even WITH knobblys, as I have discovered on many occasions! Just work on your confidence, it will come quickly...

@@glinleyt cheers bud 👍

@@markg1291 cheers Mark, I enjoyed it, met a few people & enjoyed the Black Mountain & Brecon Beacons loops. Definitely the Walters challenges have made me want to do it again & improve. I may look at the courses bmw run up there.

@@taz473 nice to hear you celebrated mastering the Hard Knott afterwards 👍. Im eager to go back again when I can. I'll watch it back to see the part you mention but I think I'll know which bit it'll be 👊

@@taz473 thanks taz, I appreciate your comments. The few places that allow this are worth the trip to gain experience, I did see other makes of bike there but mainly GS's.

@@RRRRefuelRideRace occasionally & only very occasionally I see another on a bike night with slight differences but yes its a beauty!

@@patriciafoster-lutz7448 for sure 💯 👍

@@patriciafoster-lutz7448 despite it raining all weekend it was worth it, only £249 My 2nd ride around Walters arena showed me I'd improved as well as that rut challenge. I'd recommend it for other GS owners to get better road/off-road skills 👍

Nice one Martin! Good on ya, you'll have to do it in the opposite direction next to say you have mastered it lol 😄

Thanks Leeve, it's great to get feedback from other people on this awesome route. I'd like to go do it again as it's in my own country so not a massive trip to get there & enjoy. As you say tremendous views which has attracted famous artists to over the years. Thanks for commenting, cheers, Daz.

Thanks for the spot, I've amended the thumbnail.

I think that's a sensible decision if you are long distance touring going for the GX from the other bikes you mention. The GX still has all the power with that engine but it's adaption from the GT to a more rider comfort with its up right riding position, pegs, bars & seat I think you should find it better especially with a comfort seat. Take it for a test ride, let me know how you get on bud, cheers, Daz.

You're welcome 👍

@@matthewkaill8513 Yeah it was a good weekend for sure, nice to ride our GS's around Wales & do a little off roading. A great site to do it, I think Triumph do something similar. Some people had to leave before finals so I'm glad I captured it for them 👍

Hi Levitt, thank you, it was my first time there as a beginner, it was great & a pleasure to watch you performing in the arena, congratulations!

@@phillipbeck6983 thats great to hear Phillip you'll have plenty of fun on it. UA-cam's useful too in providing owner reviews too like you say so I'm happy if I played a small part in your choice of bike. There are some Gixer 1400 Facebook sites too to keep tabs on any issues & for general chat on the bike. Thats really low mileage on your new purchase plus they are reliable anyway. Enjoy!! 👍

I like these bikes too but haven't ridden one yet. Are the forks sturdy, or could they do with newer upgrade? That's my biggest concern on any bike really, handling. I imagine these machines to be utter torque monsters, so fancy it on those grounds.

The staff not only in the finals part shown in the video were really great on the arena circuit, where like me being less experienced, the staff gave great advice & cheered us on, so credit to them all.
