We got an unexpected snowstorm here. The next day it was clear and I spotted some snow still up on the hills so I went on a drive there to check it out. How to stay warm in the cold!

Riding through the mountains | KTM Adventure 1050

I've had the KTM for 1 year now! So I decided to give it a birthday present a long day riding in the mountains. The rain eased up the longer the day went on but it also got colder. #motorcycle #ktm #newyoutuber #fast #ireland #driving Tried out some alterative settings which is essentially why this video exists. Tried for a more cinematic type, with more motion blur too.

The GSXR 750 came with a Power Commander III, but it wasn't working (when I turned the key it did not power up). The bike was still running.

I reconned them and with some (more) luck, it started right up! I am still to connect it to the Laptop, I am having iss...

I won a Suzuki GSX-R 750 K5 in an online raffle. For just €25 I now have a sports bike 😎 Here is how: 1) I entered an online raffle from www.irishkingcompetitions.com 2) The tickets were €12.50 each and I bought 2 of them 3) 1 week later and the bike was hand delivered to the house in the back of a van!!! I say unbelievable luck, but there were 600 tickets, I bought two so I had a 1/300 chance....

Welcome to Scotland lads, good tae see the sun coming out for you at Tongue. Scenery gets good from there, and the wee roads are worth exploring down the west coast.
Thanks man 😎 agreed the west coast is really something else! Video coming soon on it. Spectacular country 🏴
Another cracking video, one of the better NC500 video collections out there, can't wait to see the rest.
Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍 more coming soon
Cracking videos on the channel, stumbled across them when looking for videos for France and Spain and it brought up your France trip. Looking forward to seeing the rest and what route you take to get back to the ferry.👍
Thanks for the comment 👍😎 We went anti clockwise around Scotland so the route gets better the further we continued 😊
You shoudl change your name to Midgy after that trip!
🤣🤣🤣
Great video lads. Some bikes you got there. Would take a Ducati or a KTM over a GS any day!
Thanks man! You ride much yourself? 😊
Often said by people who have never owned or ridden a GS
@davidholmes3449 a GS rider has entered the chat 😎 can I have a go of yours?
Savage job lads. We went over on the May Bank Holiday. I threw up a fee shite videos on my channel for posterity... have a look at the weather we got after a 5 hour deluge from Tipperary to Belfast. Sunshine for the week almost 👍
Thanks man, Great you had sunshine for the week! We were blessed enough, but did have some spouts of rain. Couldn't see 20m in front when we got to Applecross 🤣
Great video guys 👍. I like the way they are down to earth. The rain reminds me of returning from France/Rosslare when the Applegreen/Motorway stop put wet floor warning cones around our table.😂 Ended up pouring water out of our boots when we got home.🤣 Rod, County Down.
Hahah sounds like you had a good time tho 😊😂👍 Thanks for the comment 👍
Could you please explain how you mounted the controller on the bike ?
Hi, sure no problem. I have a quadlock mount with vibration dampener on the handle bars for my phone. Then I bought the quadlock sticker accessory to stick it to the back of the DJI drone controller - www.quadlockcase.eu/collections/accessories/products/universal-adapter Hope this helps 👍
Nice video. The bikes you are riding must be hell of a price back home in Ireland nowdays. Done Scotland a few times over the years traveling from the Isle of Man. Yes got caught in rain like yourselves. Hope you enjoy the trip.
Thanks very much! Yeah quite the expensive hobby to be honest, but it's worth it 😊👍
This tracking feature is something I haven't tried yet...
What is the highest speed it will follow at? i want to let it follow me when i drive the tractor(45kmh) but im not sure if it will do it
25 mph
Nice but with the bike i think that not following you. Need more experience and exercise.
Great video buddy. Subscribed 👌
Amazing. Congrats. Liked. All the best
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi man! amazing shots in your videos. I'm looking forward to getting a 1050. How good is it? And does that windscreen extension work with the wind?
Thanks 😊! Best of luck with the 1050, I love it. The windscreen extender works a charm, would recommend. You can fine tune the angle too. I just leave the windscreen in the low position, and use the deflector. Rarely have I had to put the windscreen up.
Great video! Enjoyed every second of it thanks to the music choice haha Footage from the drone is stunning 🤩
Thanks so much 😊 ! Yeah those drones are incredible 😲 😊
iv been down that road a fue times my girls call it cowboy country after you come out the tunnel
Yeah I certainly noticed a sudden change when I came pit the far side of the tunnels! 😂
Hardcore campers ✌

1,2,3.. 13 boyos!🤣 Amazing shots with the drone!!! 3:40

Yup hahah! Think I was a bit before u before the road closed 🤣

I might be selling mine! 🤣🥲. What are you on at the moment?

@@tomcullen4753 lovely bike! Not a bad arra tk be riding in too 😊
The Wicklow lighthouse is a great spot to fly, it's a pity the landowner no longer allows the walk to proceed past the gates. I've flown there many times....and yeah, the birds are pretty aggressive around there.
Yeah I was able to walk uo there a few years ago. Great spot to fly for sure, must find some more spots now 😊
@@nidgy There are literally loads of beautiful spots around the country, just keep an eye out for No fly Zones
How did you leave France? The video does not show that you passed the passport control in the French section Is it in the cut part of the video at minute 9:30? Thank you very much
Yeah there's border control before the boat. 😊
Nidgy you've got a new sub. Only watched 7 mins of this and I'm off to watch from the start.. : )
Hope you enjoy, thanks for the sub 🤗😊
You lucked out with the weather😅 Kudo for staying positive and glad you enjoyed the trip. I have stayed at that campsite a couple of times, it's a gem and really handy, and you found the bakery. I was last there in 2022 and there was a wifey staying in the caravan opposite you with goats. She would take them for a walk round the site, it was effin hilarious.
Ahh, the goats! I did get a little glimpse of them when I was leaving 😅 I'd say they are out in force with warmer weather! Yeah lovely little campsite, any plans to return? Thanks for the comment :)
🤣😂🤣😂I’ve got condoms bigger than that tent🤣😂🤣😂love the vid 👍
They do a lovely lasagna in the West Wicklow House 😊
The best 😋😋 the lamb burger looks great too 😉
with regards the tolls line up together
Good idea, do you mean go through at same time? 🤔
@@nidgy yes thats what we do
@@michaelperkins5746 grand, will keep it in mind!
great vid lads
Thanks! 👍
Id say the crew did not put a cushion on the seat before ratchet strapping down. Next time watch them do it ,if they dont put a cushion on or none available,use a towel or spare top or a fleece ece jacket doubled up.......just for info....
Ah good point! I'd say that's what happened. Luckily it was fine in the end but would certainly look out like u mentioned. Thanks for letting me know 😊!
Amazing views of God's country 😍
❤🇮🇪 Meanma Saor
Your footage is great! I actually won a Mini 3 in a contest but the weather in NY State is awful so I have not tried it many times. Good luck!
That's so cool 😎 hopefully the weather improves soon. Much like the weather here I haven't been able to fly it since
When you wanna catch with your hand switch the controller to Sport mode. It turns off the anti collision
Great idea! I tried to land into my hand because the ground was very uneven haha
Youre doing just fine all you have to do is to hold down the stick to make it force to land.. there is a delay like 8 secs to force land
Thanks, will try this! 😋
Great video. Well edited bud. You need to grab the drone quick and flip it over to stop the props or hold the joystick to pull it down. That will bypass the sensor. Can’t wait for more. ❤
Ahhh! Sneaky! Haha i'll have to give it a try (once this wind dies down 😂) thanks for the tip! 😊
btw quick question how did you get into flying drones and why? LOVE YOURE CHANNEL MATE KEEP IT UP!!!
Started building drones back in 2018 actually 😊! But this is my first consumer level type of drone, hopefully I can use it as a tool to get nice footage for these videos is the reasoning 😊 Thanks for the comment 👍
Thanks~niec view~👐
Thank you, I like this lighthouse too 😊!
Drone Shots @ 1:48 😋
I was trying to decide between a big bike or a scooter for a few days exploring gran canaria, scooter it is!
Would recommend the scooter! Open face helmet, shorts and t shirt then! Great craic haha 👍
Came across the first video in this series because I was investigating the boat for this spring. Watched the whole series last night and this morning, absolutely class! Everyone is different, but for me the content and edit is perfect. Honest, bit of craic and good onboard action. Hopefully you continue to make these types of videos, I wish I had the patience to.
Thank you very much for watching and for the comment! 😄yeah you are not wrong..! it does take some amount of patience lol. I do plan on continuing making so watch this space Glad you enjoyed! 😀
Happy days. Hopefully you’ll have better luck with the weather on the next trip😂
My wife and I traveled to Ireland in the spring of 2023. We had shipped our motorcycle to Heathrow from Calgary in Canada. We had a wonderful visit. My ancestors came from Ireland and we have been fortunate enough to reconnect with our family in Ireland. We had a warm ride in wonderful spring weather. We really enjoyed our ride through Europe. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Wow!! What a great trip that must have been 😊 what motorcycle do you have? In glad you enjoyed it here, and how nice it must have been to reconnect with family here! In the future some time I'd love to take my bike over Canada, and the USA Thanks for watching and for the comment 👍
Bring her inside will ya 😂😂😂
One day... 😢😅 ! Until then the pyjamas will have to do 😩😅
Is the 1050 a good bike thinking of getting one
Yeah it's great! I love it to be honest. I came from a Fazer 600 to it so was a big difference, especially the leg room was much appreciated!
Cold!
Absolutely, and it only got more and more cold 🥶 as the journey went on haha
A bikes battery voltage is different to a cars - jumping it could damage your bikes electricals and battery
Thanks for the tip!! 😄 To be honest I just seen 12v on both batteries and went for it. Do you know if those small portable ones would be okay for use? (I am contemplating using one for travels and powerbank etc.)
not really.
Gonna have to make room in the house and move her inside!!!!! Great video.
God I wish I could hahah! Thanks man
Very enjoyable. Any idea where you got the phone holder for the KTM???
Thank you 😀 I got mine on Amazon to which it is not available anymore (to Ireland that is). I did find it on Aliexpress too. I put the link in the bio as it wouldn't paste here! Mine broke recently, partially my fault. The phone wasn't completely secure causing lot's of vibrations. But the part is relatively cheap!
Ducati MultiStory....... We have to do a bike swap hahahaha
It certainly felt like a Multistory after getting used to the GSXR for a while! Now that is an idea worth exploring hahah!! 🤔😅
