As a motorcyclist it’s all about the journey and not the destination! I have been touring for years and non motorcyclists find it hard to understand spending hours plotting routes, but as a motorcyclist you understand the logic of finding the best roads.
I couldn't agree more, I've been finding myself slowly slipping into a "I know what direction I wanna go in but not really where I wanna be" kinda attitude
So glad that your channel appeared on my feed. Skye is a great place to tour on a bike. I've done it a few times but since I'm in Glasgow it's not such a long haul for me. Really enjoying your videos, thanks so much for taking the time to produce them and I'm looking forward to watching them all. Good luck on your adventures and Ride safely.
Great vlog once again Saffy, most people don't realise how long it can take to cover the miles in rural Scotland, an 8 hr run home is hard-core for everyone so much kudos 👏 I hope you enjoyed Scotland and visit again 😎👍🏍🏍
It's absolutely mental. As the crow flys it looks like such a quick journey but the moment you get into the highlands, you're like god damn, this is a long crazy trip
@@SaffySprocket haha yeah that's our country , maybe a bit wet and windy at times but it is what makes it so amazing to see, the colours the views and the sheer vastness of how small we are in comparison and no one at times for miles 🙏❤️
Who needs sheep friends when you have made donkey friends who will always come to see you. Also the steely composure in the opening drone shot was epic, I expected it to crash into your head :) Throwing the map aside and riding wherever the mood takes you is just one of many reasons your so special Saffy 😘
ahahah I really wanted to do a video similar to the Northumberland 250 but I think I didn't have the energy for this after riding all the way up, I just wanted to have a bit of fun
You did right to follow your own route. Most people visiting the island get sent to the same places so you need advice from someone in the know. I moved to Skye permanently from Lancashire a few years ago - never looked back. Best motorcycling in the UK. I tend to get up VERY early in summer (like 4am) for sunrise and have all the roads to myself. Why they sent you to Lealt Falls I don't know. I always tell our guests not to bother with that or the Fairy Pools. The Trotternish Peninsula is a fantastic loop on a bike and also the road to Elgol as the busses don't go down there... But tbh all the roads are a great adventure! I'd always advise to wild camp (ideally away from the main road), and if you are into a bit of hiking the Skye is the limit... Happy riding!
Another stunning visual delight, thank you amazing, your commentary is funny, you really put Rocket down some really off the beaten track places, keep up the fantastic work, and never change, your dizzy moments make me laugh , those sheep you trying to say hello too,made me chuckle take care xx
Thanks for the great content. I’m travelling up from Portsmouth to Scotland next week, then doing the NC500. Camping every night. Hopping the GS1200 will handle the trip.
Thanks for the all the time and effort making your great adventure videos, I totally admire your courage and charm going off on your trips, looking forward to seeing more, keep up the good work- you go girl 🏍🏍🏍
Fantastic place for biking if you hit the weather right. I just came back yesterday and the weather was a nightmare the two days wind and rain and high winds in places, but still really enjoyed it. The scenery along the landscape from the bridge up to Staffin. On the way home I left Portree at 7am on a Saturday morning and didn't see another thing on the road until got to the bridge.
It was suppose to be manic rain going up and all throughout my trip. I think I got insanely lucky that it only rains on my last day. I heard of people having their tents collapse
Brilliant again beautiful really enjoyed the video,I agree I alway find tourists attractions rubbish and full of people I don’t want to talk too lol 😂,I go on tour Friday can’t wait, thanks for sharing 👍
New to your channel I came across it whilst researching biking , got to say I am in awe of your passion and skills not just your riding adventures but your film making . Your an inspiration keep up the great content ...
The roads are the bikers tourist hot spot, just ride and go where it look good! Just thinking about the comments if you were a chap chasing the sheep!!!! Great video again Saffy. Cracking editing as well..
Not been to Skye now for about seven years, was once a regular visitor. Watching UA-cam videos', can see how the tourist honey spots have changed. Looks like the popularity of these places is distracting from the appeal, to many visitors not respecting these places can damage them, even with the attempt to control numbers with the paid carparks. Good to see you going your own way, next tine take at least a week there. Can't wait to get back, like to go in the autumn much quieter.
Hi Staff your tour video is very good and for an while I felt like as if I have toured because of the beauty of the Nature and scenes and your Nerration. I can say you have enjoyed a lot of places in your country and the Video is like a feast .All the best and Enjoy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏖️⛱️👍
Who was it that sang “dug up all the trees an put’em in a tree museum and charged the folks a dollar-fifty just to see’m”. You’re absolutely right the scenery is free and by far the best thing. I don’t need an interpretation centre!😂
You remind me so much of my Daughter, she looks like you and same mannerisms “ I’m going to send she a link to your page to watch . She doesn’t ride but when she was younger she used to live coming on the back of my bikes camping and trips away .
Hi. Inspired by you vlogs. Really useful information. I like how you put in when it doesn't quite go to plan...makes it real. I just need to get my self in order and use the bike for what I told my wife I was getting it for😁 keep the vlogs coming👍
Hi Saffy, nice video, nice to see you smiling again even when things get tough, how you finding sleeping in the tent? For my trips away and set-up I have a groundsheet under the tent, gives a little more comfort for warmth, and use a vango ultralite self inflating mat, and a vango stuff pillow, 3 season sleeping bag with a silk liner, pop in some ear plugs and have a great nights kip. (remembering to sleep in as little as possible) it is easier to warm up in the morning when you layer up,Try taking a couple of paracetamol and a ibuprofen before bed, you'll wake up good as new ready for your adventure.
Ah ibuprofen is a god send! I've been using the gel versions and also heat patches to try and help ease the pain 😅 I love my tent, but I think I stoll need to get use to camping, the first night is always a struggle,.just because you keep waking up every hour with different noises but I'm slowly getting use to it!
@@SaffySprocket ear plugs are a godsend when camping 🏕 and a good mat to sleep on. Have a 12 day trip planned around the UK in July all in the tent. Never in the same place. You'll get it down to a T soon. Then it'll be awesome 👌
Cracking video again thank you. Was out today myself. Went to the ponderosa on horseshoe pass. The speed limit amd cameras were annoying. But 150 mile ride for me was just what I needed.
@@SaffySprocket probably go back again but the cameras really detracted from the ride and scenery as both me and my mate were constantly watching the speedo just in case. After all it is Wales and the police hate English bikers.
i love your videos, but i was wondering Saffy, what jacket have you got? My female friends is just starting to get into motorbikes and I'm looking to get her some gear when she passes her Direct Access. Have you got any recommendations?
I always go for LS2, cheap, good quality and affordable. I have the Nevada womens suit, it's an all year round suit with multiple layers you can remove in summer. It wasn't a cheap suit but I've already used it 6 months over winter abd the thing still looks brand new. I use a Gerbling heated jacket under my nevada suit :^)
Hey, beautiful scenery and camera work Saffy 😍 👌 I can't believe the Isle of Skye has a Jewson, I thought it was just an island of Puffins and Werewolves 😂 also, why were you whispering? Mad head 😂🤣
@@SaffySprocketHahaha, fair enough, I certainly wouldn't of been awake at 6am 😜 i might take my van to the Island for a couple weeks, it's so beautiful
I always try to stay away from the tourist spots often using roads that dont seem to get used a lot, you can end up in some amazing places with no one about just yourself and beautiful scenery.
I agree that some tourist traps are meh.... but not all! Love the roads too, when you come round a corner and a whole new vista opens up..... sometimes those are the sights that really stick with you. You have to go back and explore more now though 😉
always thoroughly enjoy your commentaries, your dizziness is a great change from those who are serious all the while vlogging, how have got the GoPro on the top box wired in?
I put a GoPro mount on my Top box, I used a Lighter to melt the sticky mount to put it on. I have a 2m cable which you can occasionally see wrapped around my handlebars. When the battery starts to run out on my GoPro, the cable stretches far enough to charge it back up from the USB charger mounted on my handlebar. I also have a leg bag which I often put an external battery in and wire it up to, but I only do this is everything is starting to run out of charge, that way I can charge my phone, 2 GoPro's and my headset all at once whilst on the road. When I don't need to charge my cameras, I throw my battery packs in my top box with the drone on charge :D It sounds more complicated than it is, but I've gotten into quite a good rhythm with keeping everything charged now
Another adventure Saffy . I think you should have stayed in your sleeping bag . I heard you say that you where heading home to the Midlands , That's the county I came from many years ago . It was a little village called Long LaWford near Rugby . Keep the adventures coming and ride safe . Mal in Australia
Hallo, i ride a Suzuki sv 650 too, since 8 months, can you tell me, which sit pad do you use? Because I make long trips in Germany, and the original sit is very hard, thank you very much, regards, Rafael :)
I have 4 different cameras, 2 GoPros, an SLR and my phone. If I'm ever recording with my mobile phone, usually I'm using the front camera which mirror images the footage :-)
I know what you mean about tourist hot spots, they are usually rubbish, and pretty much have the most expensive coffee and food. I love just taking a random road, I can't get lost because I have no idea where I am going. lol.
Good fun! The wind drowned out your voice in places tho - could you get a mic with a windscreen like a Shure MVL plus a 3.5mm jack adapter to fit what ever devices you use ? Oh and can you report that faulty burner to Trading Standards to save someone else from being burnt ?
Great video as per usual ... I'm off to the Highlands this June and Skye is on the agenda. If possible could you let me know where that place where you walked out and looked down from a sort of sky bridge onto the waterfalls. 👍💕
As usual you have an eye for amazingly beautiful shots with that drone ❤ keep up the good work you beautiful minx and dont forget make it your adventure go where the road takes you to keep that thrill you seek sometimes you dont have to plan it just happens that's the fun part I find tends to happen to me 😁 didn't plan much in Cyprus at all it was an experience for sure couldn't even ride I missed my bikes definitely
I've just come across your vlog... Its ace! you've made me smile the whole way through 😊.. I want to do the same thing but i was going to get a cbr650r for around Scotland for camping/salmon fishing... I'm thinking I need to change choice of bike looking at those roads 😂
Ah yeh, some of the roads are crazy! My naked seemed to do just fine! And I have all purpose tires 🤣🤣🤣 a couple of rear end slips here and there but nothing too scary 🤣🤣🤣
@@SaffySprocket ah ok maybe I'm over thinking it to much. I'm in early stages on my biking journey but the thought of doing this will is what made me want to get started.
Sheep 1: Christ my arse is itchy, bloody dingleberries. I'll use my tail to scratch them. Saffy: awe, look at his tail 🥹 Sheep 1: canny get some privacy 'round 'ere?
My Nan used to tell me a story about the time she was chased by a sheep, she was in her late teens and liked lamb with mint sauce, so when the sheep came after her she shouted “mint sauce, MINT SAUCE” as she ran away thinking it would stop chasing her in case she ate it 😂
I love the Isle of Skye. Have you considered getting a duel fuel stove? I've got a Coleman 533, it's excellent. It'll cost more than a gas stove but, you'll save a fortune on fuel. I bought mine from Amazon USA for £121. You'll never need another one.
I haven't! I recently replaced my fastboil under warranty so I'll probably just stick with it for another year. I have a shopping list for traveling and I'm kinda focusing on things I don't have yet but may need, so things I already own but aren't the best, tend to fall to the bottom of the purchase pile. I'll probably be buying a first aid kit and a jump start pack before I look at upgrading my cooking equipment
@@SaffySprocket With the miles you do I'd definitely invest in a jump start pack. I'd also invest in a puncture repair kit! The mushroom ones are the best ☺️ As a fellow lady biker, I think you're awesome. Your enthusiasm for our hobby is infectious. I recently came back to biking after a 9 year break from it. I always knew I would and I kept my gear for that day... About three weeks ago, I took delivery of my dream bike: Kawasaki ZZR1400. I hope to visit the Highlands and Peaks this year. I just need to buy a decent tent. 😊
Properly epic Saffy. Great production, edit, biking, tunes and presentation. Also, you're a spit for Senua from Senua's Sacrifice. How's the bike coping?
www.travel-monkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/SKYEMAP2015.jpg Here is a copy of the map, there are a few other places I visited as well that aren't on camera like Fairy Pools, I basically went anti-clockwise around the entire island - I stopped a lot on the attractions on the right-hand side, however by the time I got North-West I started to do my own thing until the Fairy pools
Great video Saffy. Loved the cinematography at the beginning. I, like you, often wonder if tourist hot spots are just ways to fleece us of our money while we “oo” and “ah” at someone else’s definition of beauty. I much prefer to head off the beaten track, explore and find my own things to marvel at. You should consider switching your Red Bull for white Monster. It’s far superior IMO 😜

I've just come across your vlog... Its ace! you've made me smile the whole way through 😊.. I want to do the same thing but i was going to get a cbr650r for around Scotland for camping/salmon fishing... I'm thinking I need to change choice of bike looking at those roads 😂
Ah yeh, some of the roads are crazy! My naked seemed to do just fine! And I have all purpose tires 🤣🤣🤣 a couple of rear end slips here and there but nothing too scary 🤣🤣🤣
@@SaffySprocket ah ok maybe I'm over thinking it to much. I'm in early stages on my biking journey but the thought of doing this will is what made me want to get started.
Sheep 1: Christ my arse is itchy, bloody dingleberries. I'll use my tail to scratch them.
Saffy: awe, look at his tail 🥹
Sheep 1: canny get some privacy 'round 'ere?
😭😭😭 I would have given him half my cheese sandwich had he sat with me
Hi saffy what is the cushion seat you have I want one for my bike. Great video by the way.
Great video, thanks
Thank you so much 💓 🥰
My Nan used to tell me a story about the time she was chased by a sheep, she was in her late teens and liked lamb with mint sauce, so when the sheep came after her she shouted “mint sauce, MINT SAUCE” as she ran away thinking it would stop chasing her in case she ate it 😂
Cool saffy x might try Scotland myself this year x and hey who needs sheep anyway 😊😂😂
🐑🐏🐑 he would have been the most spoilt sheep in the world
Great video as always, can you let me know what Drone you are using, you get some great footage from it
Dji mavic mini ! Under 149g so you don't need a drone license
Just subbed, great content and editing. I feel I have a lot to learn yet.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my travel vlogs and thank you so much 😍🥰💗
New to the channel here loving your vids ❤️👍👌take care
Welcome to the mad House and thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@SaffySprocket haha I've a house just like yours then 😆
Hi saffy, love the channel. Can I ask what type of drone you use,
DJI Mavic Mini, under 149g so it just bypasses the drone regulations about registration and licence
Great video. The sheep didn't have a clue what you were saying. They only speak Gaelic. Keep up the good work.
I'll have to take a Gaelic course so I can ask the sheep for directions next time 🤣
Very enjoyable.
What kind of GoPro mount do you use on your helmet?
amzn.to/3smc3M6 this is what I have:) it's lasted me 16 months now with no issues 🥰
I love the Isle of Skye. Have you considered getting a duel fuel stove? I've got a Coleman 533, it's excellent. It'll cost more than a gas stove but, you'll save a fortune on fuel. I bought mine from Amazon USA for £121. You'll never need another one.
I haven't! I recently replaced my fastboil under warranty so I'll probably just stick with it for another year. I have a shopping list for traveling and I'm kinda focusing on things I don't have yet but may need, so things I already own but aren't the best, tend to fall to the bottom of the purchase pile. I'll probably be buying a first aid kit and a jump start pack before I look at upgrading my cooking equipment
@@SaffySprocket With the miles you do I'd definitely invest in a jump start pack. I'd also invest in a puncture repair kit! The mushroom ones are the best ☺️
As a fellow lady biker, I think you're awesome. Your enthusiasm for our hobby is infectious. I recently came back to biking after a 9 year break from it. I always knew I would and I kept my gear for that day... About three weeks ago, I took delivery of my dream bike: Kawasaki ZZR1400. I hope to visit the Highlands and Peaks this year. I just need to buy a decent tent. 😊
Properly epic Saffy. Great production, edit, biking, tunes and presentation. Also, you're a spit for Senua from Senua's Sacrifice. How's the bike coping?
Good effort.
Thank you so much 💓
Good enough attempt at gaelic.
An ley allt would be nearer the mark so quite a good guess.
It's so nuts because between Scotland England and Wales, you never know how to pronounce the letters 🤣
nice ride
Regarding your previous video, you could say your camping crip was *_temporarily STOPPED_* by *_BRAKE PROBLEMS._*
😊😊😊
do you have a place where all the locations youve been on this route?
www.travel-monkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/SKYEMAP2015.jpg Here is a copy of the map, there are a few other places I visited as well that aren't on camera like Fairy Pools, I basically went anti-clockwise around the entire island - I stopped a lot on the attractions on the right-hand side, however by the time I got North-West I started to do my own thing until the Fairy pools
Great video Saffy. Loved the cinematography at the beginning. I, like you, often wonder if tourist hot spots are just ways to fleece us of our money while we “oo” and “ah” at someone else’s definition of beauty.
I much prefer to head off the beaten track, explore and find my own things to marvel at.
You should consider switching your Red Bull for white Monster. It’s far superior IMO 😜
I use to drink white monster, I loved that stuff, but after RedBull released their new black zero 🤤🤤🤤 nothing compares
@@SaffySprocket I might have to give it a go as I normally think Red Bull is 🤢
I don't like normal red bulls either, but RedBull Zero is so tasty 🤣

What phone. Case was that with the door that pops up in the beginning? At 1:15
A great vlog saffy stay safe and ride safe lovely greetings from st Helens Merseyside
Thank you so much :_ Glad you enjoyed it!
Certainly the best plan , avoiding main tourist destination /attractions . Always disappointed by them . Skye looks awesome x
100% - some of them were proper naff ahahahaha
Thanks!
Thank you so much :D
You are very welcome. I ride a Vstrom in America and Canada.
