Mostly (relatively) gentle motorbike outings around the North York Moors
Helmet cam test ride
I haven't used action 4 on helmet before but it worked out pretty good with mic 2 set on -12.
Frequent showers were unhelpful but this is the plus point the camera is getting good external audio but remains sealed - dream bike vlog set up.

It was very busy in Church Houses as daffodil season is underway. They are a bit sparse this year for some reason - but a week or so early.

I have been doing some camera rejigging with it on bars - and though I can do voice audio I didn't have the kit with me for spur of the moment Sunday ride out. This is the DJI Action 3 bought last September not really as bike cam but works well for this task.

Harland moor with XSR

It has been unusually warm and dry for March the past few days, the XSR has been fitted with TKC80 50-50- off road tyres they are good on road but occasional forays onto tracks is much easier to do despite limited suspension travel.

I didn't know this was on but spotted them zooming about so went over for a quick look. It's a useful location with decent parking close to the challenging steep and rocky area - not sure how wet the field is in poor weather though.

Safe Riding.
Monket House Bank ?
Yes, that was pretty nasty - they had piled a lot of materials on it but it was all very loose and mushy and had been washing down as usual.
Thank you for this video. Very nostalgic for this time that I miss. I lived in cunlhat. The best years of my life,especially at this time.
That's really odd, going backwards and looking at the bike.
I guess this is the old railway line to Rosedale for the Ironstone?
I guess your on the CRF?
Thanks for this.
Great video can you ride all the riggs.
Quite a few have these north-south trackways which are very ancient as going along the ridge was easier than up and down in boggy dale. But some have not been used for through traffic for so long they are essentially dead ends or are downgraded to bridleway or footpath at some point
Cant beat yorkshire.hopefilly it never changes
i was since 1991 in Free Wheels for over 10 Years, it was a great Festival.
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to see, because it almost appeared that 4 holes needed to be drilled into the the the top plastic panel that covers the tank underneath. Yep, I am going to buy this ring, but with the larger 15 liter bag. 👍🏼🤙🏼
it puts out out good picture , do you think they are worth the money compared to a gopro ?
Only if you already have a gopro or similar and are quite happy spending more time editing. Editing what you want to show from the 360 degrees it recorded is quite time consuming but not exactly difficult once you get used to it. The battery life is not brilliant as it is literally recording everything around it like two cameras running but you can set it to do just one side
Thanks for a your reply , sounds like you have do some extra work if you want that video clip that is something different.
Excellent ride that Colin 👌. Would be great if you decide to upload more in the new year. Your motorcycle ride-outs make for superb viewing 👍🏻
Hi there, being Preston Lancashire based, it would grand to find a vey quiet campsite in the North York moors for perhaps two nights or so so I could ride explore and enjoy the lanes of the moors during the summer months. You wouldn’t happen to know of any would you ( a farm based campsite that is, not really bothered about to many facilities). I enjoy the Yorkshire dales which I can pretty much cover in a day, but looking at riding further east next year and especially riding to Goathland and taking a look at the steam railway there. Thanks 👍🏻
(I posted from different account if you got this twice) I'd probably only be looking up things online same as you though generally there's more choice near the coast and indeed Goathland area is popular but rather more pricey a victim of it's own popularity. I rather prefer the area around Sutton Bank and it still isn't far to visit the hotspots like Whitby or Scarborough. These two might be Ok. wethercotefarmcampsite.co.uk/the-campsite www.bungdaleheadcamping.co.uk/index.html Or somewhere around that more SW part they often get better weather than the coast too especially early season. This one further north is a nice spot I spent some time there at an archaeology dig in the summer but did not camp - it is very quiet and cheap. Camping not just their barn thing. Https://kildalebarn.co.uk The problem with being away from a village or pub is not having option of nice evening meal without driving. - might not bother you for a couple of nights anyway. Near the coast there are some smaller sites tucked away in narrow lanes around e.g. ravenscar and robin hoods bay This one literally at Goathland is the farm used in Heartbeat where Greengrass lived it can be quite bleak and windswept we once held a biker rally there in October and it turned into a swamp ;) - very basic not sure what he charges. www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=5312
@@Moorsbiker hi, many many thanks for this, I will search the net for campsites. The reason I mentioned a farm based site is that don’t do crowds or crowded places. My visit would be mid week when the kids are in school and many adults at work, pretty much when it’s quiet. But anyway, many thanks, your input is much appreciated 👍🏻
Excellent 👌. A ride-out I can fully relate to. Rural roads and beautiful scenery, and old and ancient buildings visited. That’s a proper good day out in my opinion on a motorcycle 👍🏻
I quite enjoyed rewatching it, I still have that bike but better cameras and haven't been doing the helmet cam stuff much for a while now. You do get multiple Gbs of material to download and mostly delete - it gets tedious ...
@@Moorsbiker I did myself get the xsr700 this year and it’s an awesome machine for those narrow rural back lane rides 👌I did start a UA-cam channel a few years back and it never panned out really, I found it hard work editing and uploading and no much interest in what I was uploading, and add to that my deep Lancashire accent no one could tell what I was saying 😂. But anyways, I’m still and always will be subscribed to your channel because I can fully relate to it, and if you ever do upload anything else, I sure will be watching 👍🏻
@@Amos1965 I don't mind the editing and have probably got better at doing it efficiently as I have 2 or 3 other channels on here plus upload stock video clips of various subjects at full 4K since we finally have decent broadband. The 'traditional' vlog is past its sell by date but there is always some interest in video from more scenic places or popular events (e.g. Whitby goth weekend) with a bit of local insight thrown in. ua-cam.com/video/5yQhO0wSnfg/v-deo.html is one of mine
Hi again. In the last week I joined XSR 700 enthusiasts on Facebook, and this morning in my feed there was a post & picture, and I thought 🤔, that’s the XSR 700 rider I subscribed to a few weeks ago, so hello Colin 👍🏻. It’s always good to know the riders name. Anyways I’m now a proud new owner of the xsr700, it finally arrived last Friday the 22nd, so many happy riding days to come 👍🏻
I'd been down to the Whitby Steampunk weekend and on the way back I spotted a fire on the moors so did sort of have good reason to head off over tracks. It was parked on west cliff close to whalebones and not out of keeping with theme of the event. It is due MOT on Wednesday, will sail through but I will have to replace my 'showplate' . For a few hours anyway.
Hi, Hoping to order a new xsr700 next week, please has the bike for you been a good one, no issues ?. Been looking for a naked middleweight bike for a good few months now, and I’ve decided the xsr700 will be the one. Not buying one to do large journeys on or touring as I have a VFR 1200x for that, just a nice naked bike for rolling out of the garage and having a couple of hours fun on. Just found your channel and subscribing. I too love riding the roads of the Yorkshire Dales, awesome roads and the scenery 👌
You will enjoy it for that kind of riding, I don't go far but still really love the character of it for bombing about locally. The handling and braking are more than adequate for style of bike, it is a compact and pretty little thing that draws attention when parked up. Engine is same as in MT07 and T700 but in different tune with ample low down torque. There's a massive industry of bolt on extras for mild customisation as that was Yamaha's intention from the start. Bad points - seat not that comfortable after 2 or 3 hours, clutch can seem a bit snatchy in 1st and 2nd especially when cold - you get used to it but I notice it seems quite odd if I have been more on the 250L for a while e.g. Winter. Not good for pillion unless they are petite. Not an easy bike to use simple throw over panniers but luggage systems are available. I manage with tank bag and back pack as with previous bikes but even a weekend away would not be easy without at least finding a rack for it. It gets about 70mpg Nothing whatsoever has gone wrong (so far...)
@@Moorsbiker , many many thanks for your prompt reply. I’ll be going to see the dealer on Monday and hopefully get one, all the best to you, and thanks again 👍🏻
I always found it a spiritual experience visiting these moorland crosses, more especially the Mauley cross on Wheeldale moor. Safe riding chaps
Wow! Thank you so much for posting this!
Énorme....
I was here !
Great! It seems like an age ago now doesn't it.
Something I remember when leaving the site the local people lined the roads to wave, it was very friendly.
@@Moorsbiker yeah I remember that
@@Moorsbiker the first F-W in this country was in 1990 (it seems to me...)
@@Moorsbiker 1989 and I was here too 😎
Is there an old quarry /railway near to the pub that you can ride ?
You can't legally go on the old railway, though mountain bikes use it a lot it definitely isn't green lane. Not sure about which quarry, there are a lot of them scattered about I don't know any round there regularly used for off road practice.
@@Moorsbiker thanks for the info I’m coming up in the spring hopefully to ride the rig again and try and find the railway and quarry
Hey man, did you ever sort out your audio with the Sony x3000?
No but some people using it with helmet mic say they don't have a problem, if you could find one with less gain it would be OK. I tend to use that camera as a car dash cam now. I did get a relatively expensive Sony ECMCS3 lavalier and though it's a good mic it was much the same.
What a glorious day for a ride out - even if it was a bit nippy.
Enjoyed the vlog great photo, thanks for sharing
Bah heck good job you moo'ved
What a numpty he was!
Stay safe and keep extra alert. Lots of idiot cagers are speeding and paying little attention to the rules of the road.
Beautiful video thanks
Great vlog another destination I need to add to my list thanks for sharing
You know your way around well, another great vlog
Throughly enjoyed that vlog thanks for sharing. recently bought myself a ktm so I can enjoy the moors more and get off the beaten track more than I can on my gsx14. I always have to stop at that cross so the kids can drop some change in it. Fantastic photo to finish
Cheers, the little CRF250 has been the most fun bike I ever had, with the ability to tackle most of the moorland tracks - and in many ways it's also more suitable for the single track bumpy roads, especially in winter. Very inexpensive to run too.
What’s he doing with a Nazi steel helmet on ? Should ban all Nazi enactors.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Wow, beautiful ride.
Is that working on the xsr 900 as well?
You can use the system but the mount is more like a ring around the fuel filler.
Was planning to take a trip to Whitby .. but totally agree it looks a bit rough! Shame ... need to preserve our English seaside towns !
I was probably a bit harsh, the main problem is sheer numbers of visitors at busy times and a lot of them seem too lazy to use bins. There's good and bad bits, the good outweighs the bad and there are nice roads over the moors to get there. It's better outside peak times like school holidays, and definitely avoid Bank Holiday weekends if possible. It's sad how bit by bit the character is slipping away with old buildings demolished and replaced by fake versions in that miserable style you see widely where twee details are supposed to hide the modern box they built. The key central old town is largely untouched especially the East Side under the Abbey ruin.
Moorsbiker thanks for the update! Really appreciate you took the time for that . It is a shame , lots of places going like it unfortunately. Ride safe . PS.. I have same bike as you 👍
Rode this last Sunday 50 mph all the way it’s a great lane
What's post code or main road thank you
@@skyedingle7255 You'd find it by searching Rudland Rigg it runs from near Gillamoor to Ingleby but the full length must be at least 15 miles. There is an option to leave or join half way if conditions are bad or time short.
Oh been told by a friend ingelby bank has been repaired , just thought you'd like to know.
Amazing motorcycles
Nice scenery, and the smoothness of the video looks great. I hope this camera works well for you. I'm still tinkering with mine.
Why are you not showing 4k video if this is Drift Ghost 4k? Is the 4k video quality so bad on this camera?
Good question, the 4K recording setting uses the battery much faster, and produces much larger files which take up space quickly and take more time to render. For a special sequence that would be OK but for routine recording kind of pointless. The Drift 4K has an in-between option recording at 2.7K which looks good downscaled to 1080p - I use this mostly. The great majority of youtube views are only at 1080p anyway, on mobile devices (about half the views) 1080p or lower often looks less scratchy than higher resolutions I have started exporting at 1440p with some video which is more manageable to upload and edit. There is some evidence that UA-cam save and show a higher bitrate from videos uploaded at 1440p rather than 1080p.
very good footage xsr is a good bike
Really enjoy your videos, because I don't live so far away, and recognise some of the roads from when i use to regularly ride the roads on the moors. Indeed your inspiring me to buy a CRF250L and the get back out there, because a motorcycle exploration like in your videos is very enjoyable.
I mentioned in another comment the CRF is possibly more fun than any other bike I owned despite being slow and on paper 'unexciting'. The only snag is main road riding more than a few miles as it's not happy above about 60! The riding position being not far from standing means you get a good look round and see things you never would from a car.
Thanks for your thoughts on the CRF250L, I do like the look of CRF250 Rallye, but not many used examples around yet, and those that do come up don’t tend to be in the North. I’ve ridden a Honda XL125R and love the high riding position, that was a good bike for country lanes. How do you find the fuel capacity and range it offers?
To be honest I cheat a bit and usually fill it from a can at home, because fuel is hard to come by locally - in fact none for almost 15 miles at least at the weekend. So it's hard to keep track of mpg but clearly it's pretty good around 70 I guess. The other costs like insurance and road tax are relatively trivial. Same goes for tyres and other bits you need generally don't shock you bought online anyway.
Intrigued as to what helmet camera your using. Also what the bike is? Your making me very itchy to get my bike on the road. Great videos of a area i often visit on a bike.
It's a Drift 4K in this one, it is pretty good but I 've just got a Sony FDR-X3000 looks like better quality but not sure I'll switch over permanently. Will try it next time I'm out. The Drift has good battery life and is designed from the start as a helmet camera. The problem is if stabilisation is turned on it's rather too aggressive for my liking and also the field of view is a bit narrow. The Sony is much wider field of view and also has more subtle stabilising option I have a Yamaha XSR700 (this video) and an older Honda CRF250L
Nice video. Quite fancy a CRF250L for such rides in the Moors and Dales.
How do you compare it to Triumph Street Twin / Thks
Regardless of the roads still looked a lovely ride out
Love the laid back approach to videos thoroughly enjoyed the ride through Whitby
2018 was the first year this bike was available in the states. I want one really bad, but I want a Triumph Street Triple R even more.
They are very similar to ride, the one ongoing snag with the XSR is how difficult it is to carry much unless it's on your back.
@@Moorsbiker, thanks. I like the retro looks of the Triumph modern classic series as well (especially the Thruxton R) but the Yamaha XSRs looks to beat them on value for the money. The Street Triple R or RS on the other hand seem to be golden goose. Impeccable build quality, nimble handling, fast and priced right.
Nice video thanks 🙏
