Hey Ian. I really love those dry stacked stone walls. We have a few in the USA, but nothing like the extent in Britain. Don't be afraid to fly your drone in the wind. So long as it is not blowing a real gale, it will be fine. I have a DJI Mini and it does surprisingly well in the wind. If you fly out with the wind, just be aware that it will take longer than normal to return to you, so don't wait for the battery alarm. I first read James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small when I was 12 or 13 years old, and fell in love with the mental picture he painted of the Dales, the stone walls, the heather, and the moody skies. This is exactly my favorite place to watch someone ride, and Mr Harriot painted such a vivid picture in my mind that I feel a very strong sense of recognition seeing this type of terrain.
Thanks Scotty. I have the DJI Neo self flying drone. It’s very lightweight….I have tried it in a bit of wind (nothing like it was here), and it was all over the place 😂 My uncle has farmed in Wales all his life, I used to help out (or should that be hinder) in the school holidays. Repairing those walls is a real skill, plus the build style varies from place to place. Quite interesting ! Yes the rugged, bleak terrain, is equally beautiful when compared to the mountains of Cumbria. I try to mix it up a bit when I can. Cheers
Good ride out Ian, I can't help laughing at the restraint you keep applying to stop yourself opening it up! 😅 As for the throttle blipping on changing down, I've always done it myself, I've never known anyone that just clunk's down the box , it's bloody horrendous! 😬😅 can't be good for the box ! 🤷♂️ Cheers Mel 🍻
@@ianhughesroyalenfield I'll correct myself there mate, I do remember a mate who had a Honda 550 four in 1975, he says he didn't blip on down changes to get better fuel consumption! 😆, I couldn't see it making that much difference myself but he was a tight bugger! 😅 but it was the clunk that I could hear at the side of him that made me cringe! 😬
Another cracking ride Ian, the naughty boy is itching to get out 😂 I’m the same as you, can’t change down without blipping and rev matching it’s just natural but then we grew up on bikes where you had to if you wanted to ride quick and not end up in a hedge 😂 all the best buddy 👍

Morning Mick. Yes, service being done today, but there are still a few to release, where I am moaning about running in. It is a good job I have a few vids in reserve, as we are tied to Nantwich at the moment, due to my dad passing away on Wednesday, so things to do here. Cheers
Hi Ian, great ride out again, don't apologize for saying it's a great bike, can't wait till I get mine, but till then I'll be watching you on Scorpio and Clementine. I had the map book open following your route, it's great seeing exactly where you are. When I worked on a farm in Northumberland, many years ago, one of the farmers some went to boarding school near Sedbergh. Keep up the videos and getting those miles on Scorpio. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks Malcolm, hopefully you will continue to follow me after you get yours, need to swap thoughts and knowledge 😉 Great to know you follow on the map too, cool.😎 That farmer must have had some money (or worked his fingers to the bone), as need top money to board there. The next will be a ride back from DB, with a nice little overtake 😉😎 All the best
Thanks Ian, yep I definitely intend to keep watching your travels, the roads and scenery you have up there are fantastic. Yep the farmer had plenty money 💰, it was us workers who worked our fingers to the bone, but I was there for 15 years, so it couldn't have been too bad. I'll continue having my ride outs on my Hornet till the Guerrilla arrives. Look forward to the next installment 👍, you'll soon have the magic 311 miles on for that 1st service 😀
Great ride out and video Ian. Thank you, I can feel your excitement growing every mile you ride, Magical number 4000 revs and beyond. Behave yourself and enjoy. Bike looks stunning. Until the next time, Mike , Sunny Wales🏍🏍
Looks a great route. Got an almost identical shot on my most recent clip of pulling right to the edge to make way for an approaching tractor! My ride is 11 August was a circular route following the early model Beeline
@derbyshireruralrider9398 to be honest, for the places I find myself ending up, no. For example ; I had plotted a round trip from Kendal to Kendal via Orton and Shap (vid out in a couple of weeks). Saved to phone, and it worked fine. However, when I was back in Kendal, by the retail park, I just wanted it to take me home (obviously I knew the way, but wanted to see if it would create a fun route). My phone had H+ internet. I could still send photo’s via WhatsApp, but the Beeline App, just wouldn’t work. It came up with an error message, saying “insufficient signal” or something similar……and that’s the issue for me. I often find myself in area’s of little or no internet. So if I just need to return from somewhere I don’t know, out in the sticks, I’m no better off than I am now. If you save routes to the phone, it works without any internet, but as above, no use to me.
I don't know if I mentioned Colin before, he lives in France, he's had a NEO for a while, now he's got a Guerrilla too! His Channel is Drone On 29, he is from Birmingham originally, take a look, his bike is same colour as yours! Cheers from Back of Beyond.
Well Ian what a fantastic ride most beautiful scenery if only I had some of that down my way as you came over that first cattle grid the view of the mountains in front of you was absolutely amazing I remember 2 holidays we had in Yorkshire it was amazing I would love to live up there although the winters can be hard and obviously depressive I could imagine and the rain we seem to get through the summer months now but still ok if you dress for the weather but great video on a lovely little bike with the popping of the exhaust as you shut the throttle adds to the ride take care Ian ride safe mate
Always a scenic vid, thanks for sharing! My Classic still going gang-busters and not a single speeding ticket(which I would have riding anything bigger.) Great views here
Morning GBD, I know, though I did have Honour for 3 years, so who knows what will happen in another 3 years 😂. I have had Clementine for over 2 years now. I used to change my bikes every 12/18 months (or less) so the RE’s have done well 😎 Cheers.
Hey Ian. Some rides are just plagued with cars getting in the way and spoiling the ride. Some of the better drivers at least have the courtesy to pull over and let us past. Thing is they want to enjoy the beauty of the country side same as we do. Still, my dear late mother used to say "politeness costs nothing". Ride safe fella.
Nice ride. I dont normally blip my throttle as you said on down shift , because iam using the engine for braking as well as the brakes. Each to their own . Iam 63 and have been riding since 8 years old, my father taught me that way . I know alot use it today for rev matching.
hi, nice video, I've just got the exact same bike, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what make is the tail pack as it fits just right on the rear of the seat
Thank you. It was one I bought on 2020 off Amazon by a company called Autokicker. Unfortunately, although they still make tailbags, they aren't the same as this one. Silly really, as it is the perfect size for most daytrippers.
@ianhughesroyalenfield , thanks for the reply, yes seems a bit silly as that's a perfect fit, I have a magnetic tank bag I use on the himi and meteor, but I don't really want to use it on guerrilla 😊
I've never seen one of those FT500 Honda's in the flesh Ian but it looks pretty good and as you say similar ,sorry to say but the guy who went passed on the supermoto looked to me like an accident looking for somewhere to happen if he's riding like that all over the place 😂.Another good run and Scorpio is doing well and it IS a nice bike and I LIKE it 😉 and who doesn't blip I thought everyone did that just goes to show one should never assume much enjoyed always like those end pic's .😊👌👍
Hi Mal, if I can find it, I will post a link here of the Guerrilla review I couldn't watch. It'll be in a while though as we are on the M6 Toll services at the mo 🤣 Cheers
Here is that video. I don’t get it, sometimes he blipped, other times he didn’t. People also mentioned it in the comments…..the young lady in front wasn’t very confident either 🫣 ua-cam.com/video/zxTw7jUQ_LE/v-deo.htmlsi=Um9WCd6Hme0Itvw0
Great roads pity the camera flattens out the undulations because that road has so many ups and downs it's so good to ride. When your out there amongst all those mountains and streams you feel so alive even if you do get behind a Morrisons delivery van.
Afternoon Ian, another great video of that handsome beast ........ the bike, I mean, not you 😁I've literally just done another 60/70 miles on mine ...... flippin chilly out there today but riding the Guerrilla gets the fire going inside ☀if you know what I mean? I'm just about all run in now, about 1240 miles on the clock. To celebrate, I'm going to start riding it in 'Performance' mode, it'll be interesting to feel the difference. Have you reached your first service yet? Phil (Somerset)
Thanks Phil. Is there a different mode than performance 🤔🤣, Scorpio is a handsome beast, you are right. I am just 40 miles off the first service, which is due on Friday. We are back down in Nantwich, as my dad has been taken ill, and now in hospital again. I am in the carpark as I type this. Take care when out, it'll rip your arms off if you have been riding in eco 🤣🤣🤣
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Hey Ian, really sorry to hear that your dad is poorly, I hope he improves soon. You'll have to show him one of your videos with Scorpio to cheer him up. I'm glad though you've reached that first milestone ....... about time 😊Although it's nice to break through the 4k rev mark, I rarely find the need to take it all the way to 6k, I find it pulls really well between 4k and 5.5k ....... even in 'Eco' mode. Anyway, best wishes for your dad and I look forward to some more videos when Scorpio is unleashed. Cheers for now, Phil
@PAGallagher thanks Phil. There are plenty of vids coming up where I keep complaining about running in, I have so many in reserve. They need to be released before the new ones after the service 😂
I had a Honda VT 500 Ascot back in the 90s. It was the v twin sibling to the FT. It also had shaft drive which was the fad of the time. Unfortunately the vibration buzz from the engine was quite unpleasant. Sometime if you want, can you do a comparison ride with the B Line and the Tripper? I would be interested in seeing how they perform against each other. Have a good day. 😎
Hi Kristopher, I remember the VT500, quite a nice looking bike. Unfortunately, I have a Google Pixel 7a phone, which is reported to not work with the inbuilt Google based TFT (yes go figure that one out). Tbh, I haven’t even tried connecting, but will try to one day. Mind you, the Beeline might have been sold by then 😂 Cheers
That Beeline nav loox too basic for me. If you were using large motorway junxions I think it would be confusing but I could be wrong. However it not doing a looped route is as if they haven't programmed it properly just so that you have to pay the subscription. Regarding the bike tho, the back end of the Guerrilla loox much the same as the Himalayan in pictures. Therefore do you know or think the panniers and rax for them fit both models?
Hi Simon. Agree about the Beeline. It will be on eBay very soon. Not sure whether the panniers etc would fit, seeing them side by side would be the only way to tell. The Facebook group is growing, so no doubt there will be answers coming along soon. Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Don't blame you on the Beeline. Most of the roads you travel on that you don't know you aren't lost you're just somewhere else equally nice!
The main reason is, when we head for the hills, there is often little to no mobile internet. Now, if I have already pre planned a route, and saved to the phone, it will work…..but, if you are in a place with low internet (like H+), it won’t let you plan a route, or give any form of directions out. So I will sell it, and eventually buy a Garmin Zumo XT. 👌
It’s a way to prevent locking up the rear wheel on rapid downshifts, if the motorcycle isn’t fitted with a slipper clutch (the Guerrilla has it, though I don’t fully understand how they work) I just found this quite good explanation. ua-cam.com/video/o5dhvVShlDY/v-deo.htmlsi=4HXMIyH_09OCxiGc
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Amazing, thx! I'm prepping for a cbt (I'm old enough to know better) I was considering the super meteor 650,but these vids are making me consider the hooligan... sorry, the guerilla 😂 Is the meteor much less suitable for lake district days out?
Not at all. Have you seen my other reviews (will have to scroll through a fair few). Though the SM is not my cup of tea, not keen on forward foot controls, it is a fine motorcycle. Personally, I think the Shotgun is a better bike, providing you are ok with blacked out exhaust and engine. Obviously there is also the Interceptor 650, I had my 2020 one for 3 years. Then there is the upcoming “Bear 650”, a Scrambler version of the Interceptor. They are all fabulous bikes, and I would highly recommend taking all the ones you fancy, out for a test ride. Do you live in the vicinity of The Lakes ?
@@ianhughesroyalenfield About 30 mins drive away, it's one of the reasons I'm looking to get into it, I have the lakes so close by and I never go there!
@EyeDeal_666 as you have probably seen, the Lakes and Dales are my chosen playground, obviously avoiding the peak tourist times. I am about 30 minutes from Windermere myself.
