I’m pleased you liked the video. If nothing else I hope it encourages more bikers to go ride in Scotland. There are so many more places I want to visit. You’ll see more in Part Two! 😊
Thanks so much, I hope it has given you an idea of the stunning scenery and amazing roads waiting for you. You’ll have an amazing time I’m sure. Make sure you check out parts 2 and 3. The full length film has improved sound quality too! 😁👍
This was a great video with your photographic skills being put to very good use. Scotland is stunningly beautiful and never boring because of the part the weather plays. Photographer and motorcyclist is a perfect match! Stay safe.
Thanks for the kind words. I certainly enjoyed the changing weather and was grateful for the stormy skies without the downpour which certainly made for a few interesting photos! 😁
Brilliant, Phil. I’ve ridden in Scotland many times and it was great to be riding those roads with you again. The Pass of the Cattle is certainly one of the easier passes you will find and the scenery as you approach Applecross is stunning. I guess I’ll have to wait for Pt 2 for that. Suggest you look to Norway for a future trip......Scotland on steroids!
Thanks, Neil. I’m pleased you enjoyed going back there again with me! 🤣 I didn’t make it to Applecross unfortunately as you will find out in pt 2 but I still managed to ride in some very remote areas! Thanks for watching! 😊
Just love you're videos man, you have a great relaxed way about you 👍 . Just spent ages going over your how to clean vids they are excellent , thankyou 😊
Thanks so much for your really kind comments, I’m pleased you are enjoying them and I hope there’s a few cleaning tips which might help! All the best 😁👊
From a 7 year old boy from South East London Glen Etive camping rough was best holiday ever catching trout and cooking it on open fire was too Rich for my pallet but my dog loved it 46 years later watching this seems like yesterday great video and still regret not taking my Laverda up there before I sold it to a guy in
Yes I took my kids to the spot that I camped in Etive but they prefer the trips abroad !! Ive been all over Scotland and was in Oban the day Lady Diana married Charles in the evening they lit fires right across Scotland what a sight great footage again all the best
@@kitcartel9390 Sounds like you absolutely love visiting Scotland and still making lots of new memories. The kids might come around to your way of thinking one day! 😁👍
There's something of the Allen Millyard voive about you, which is no bad thing. 👍. Myself and a friend are planning a trip to the Highlands of Scotland this year, but who knows how possible thar will be. 🤷🏻♂️. Great photography.
Thanks for the message. I’m still getting use to being on the other side of the lens, no one likes the sound of their own voice! 🤣 You’ll get to Scotland, things are just a bit crazy right now. I appreciate your kind comments! 😊👍
Thanks, Imran. They are time consuming to produce but I’m enjoying creating them. I’ve got a long list for future videos, lockdown and snow isn’t on my side at the moment though. I’m still cracking on though! Thanks for the kind comments 😊👍
Brilliant video….I did smile …Glen Etive….oh my , back in 1975, on a caravan holiday in Glencoe, I was 13 then, well there is or was a hotel near to the turn off down to Loch Etive…while driving, a man on the side of that small road waived my father and mother down, they stopped, he asked them if they would give him a lift to his home….right down to the loch….some distance…they agreed, but when they got to his house, he asked for them to wait….he popped into his house..then came out again, then asked if my folks could give him a lift back to the hotel, pub up on the main Glen Coe road…..stupidly they did…..he really did smell of Whiskey…..so back up that narrow long road to the hotel…..only to find once we got there the hotel pub side was closed……guess what, he asked for a lift back down to his house…yep my folks were too polite…so off we went again and took him back home….so yep I know that little road very well, hardly changed in nearly 50 years…..hehe…beautiful place….love your journey and great hints on road positions as well…thanks for sharing…
Dear Phil! I saw Scotland by Motorcycle - My solo motorcycle trip to The Scottish Highlands and enjoyed every minute of it, I am sure glad finding it and getting familiar with your channel. You are absolutely a talent man and I believe there is nothing wrong mixing business and pleasure together. I visited Scotland a few years ago and really enjoyed the scenery but unfortunately done it by car. (I am still young maybe one day) I had the Suzuki GSR 750 which was the old generation of the GSXS 750 and truly this bike made me fall in love again in riding. So you are not only a very talent photographer but also clever by choosing the right bike ;-) The only problem I had watching your video was trying to listen to what you are saying, The music you combine is lovely but maybe too loud? I do not know if the fact that I am getting old or that English is not my native language or maybe my hearing is not as it was or probably everything together which made it difficult to hear your voice. Anyhow keep on doing what you love it seem that way from your work. All the best Ami ALMOG
Hi! Thanks for your comments and feedback. You’re too kind with your comments. I had the GSR 750. Did you see my abba stand video? I’m sorry the sound quality isn’t great in the first video, I’ve been working on it so hopefully it is getting better. Let me know after watching my latest video. I do appreciate your honest feedback. All the best! 😁🏍📸
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Wow!!! Thank you for taking the time to reply!! I really appreciate it, for sure I will watch your further movies, other family members also enjoyed watching your movies.
Nice film. I went up there August 2020, when my usual European jaunts were cancelled. The weather was horrendous but some memorable ride. Luckily the road to Applecross was dry.
Thanks! I’m pleased you liked the drone footage, it’s stunning isn’t it! I can’t take credit for it though, I was kindly given permission to use. Full credits are at the end and in the description. They have more where that came from! 😁👍
Great video! I'm in Scotland and share your passion for motorbikes and photography. Although every time I go out on my bike (1200GS) with the intention of taking photos, I get so into the rhythm of the ride, I don't want to stop to take photos! To get around this - I've just bought a Forza 300 for dedicated photo trips on 2 wheels. Fingers crossed the snow and lockdown bugger off soon so we can all get out riding again. All the best!
Thanks Gary. I can see how that happens. You really have to force yourself to stop don’t you. Fingers crossed you can get out on your bike and have fun with your camera soon! 😁🏍📸👍
Hi Phil, I think we met you at the Green Welly, I was on my white Versys. Just stumbled across your channel and subscribed. Great work with the videos and photography, hope the Held gear Held up to the rain we had. Good luck with the channel and more touring to come. Robert.
Hey Robert. I do remember you. Thanks for the message. You was riding to Glen Coe and back I believe. How you doing? Drop me a DM if you’re on Instagram! 😁👍
Cool video. Like many I've had a few trips scuppered due to the C word. Going up there as soon as I can. Almost ran out of footage to edit for my channel. I'm subscribing to you & looking forward to more of your videos. Ill have a look at more tonight. Good work.
Been parked on the Skyfall Glen Etive site right where the Aston was and Bond and M - it hadto be done and luckily I did it before it was known or popular so the moss on the stones were almost exact match. Applecross pass I’ve done many times in the Car on road trips with friends any day is great but it’s a bit special under blue sky along with the coastal road after and even more fun when you have someone in the group that hasn’t done it before. Fort William to Skye not taking the Malaig ferry is stunning also. Pushing on following the West Coast past Ullapool and onto Durness just gets better and better.
Delighted you enjoyed my stomping ground. And your pronunciations were a good effort! The Pass is the “Bee-Allach-na-Vah”. 👌 Stunning footage and photographs. WOW! That sunset shot is epic! Looking forward to part 2, but I’m concerned by what you said. I hope you didn’t have a fall????
I loved your stomping ground. I just can’t get my head around pronunciations, I’ve since discovered a neighbour who’s Scottish and has offered to help in future videos! 🤣 Parts 2 and 3 have now been uploaded, enjoy! 😁👍
OMG the pictures in your video are amazing, that has made up my mind I am going to Scotland on my Suzuki GSR 750 😁 and I an deffo gonna take my Nikon slr. Great work sir, stay sate 🏍🤙
Thanks so much for the kind comments, I'm pleased you like them. You got to take your camera, a travel tripod will help too. Let me know how you get on and click the bell so you don't miss Part Two!
It is indeed! I stayed at Renton for the first couple of nights, Duke’s Pass was a great introduction to what I could expect from the roads in Scotland! 😁 👍
Some beautiful views, went to Scotland September 2019 did most of the NC500 and went up Applecross (Bealach ne Ba ) in the rain unfortunately. Cannot wait to go back fantastic for bikers but hopefully with better weather.
I think I’ve come across your posts on Instagram. Scotland is on the top of our list for the first adventures together. It’s lovely to see your daughter with the same passion. Also great to see chocolate as a snack break for you 😉
Hi Andrea. I do get around! 🤣 I’m also Phil Jones Photography on Instagram. You’ll love visiting Scotland, yell if I can help anymore. Drop me a DM if you know my daughter! You can’t ever have enough chocolate! 🤣😁👊
A fantastic video with superb photography of undoubtedly my favourite destination. I live in Essex, and the journey up is well worth it (in fact I enjoy that as well!). All being well, I’ll be island hopping next May, including the outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Paul
Thanks, Paul! I didn’t relax as much as I would have liked on my journey up there as my Sat Nav kept losing power, fortunately it worked perfectly when I arrived. Fingers crossed your trip still goes ahead in May. It sounds awesome! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I have an external GoPro battery pack which I keep in the pouch at the back of my jacket meant for a water bladder. I then just run a cable through and keep it plugged in to the camera. No more battery changing! 👍
Really nice video. I missed you by almost exactly a year, I was there on my own in between lockdowns in 2020, which made the evenings awkward, but the roads and sights remained just as amazing. 👍🏻
Thanks so much! I really the kind comments and I’m pleased to have you onboard! 😁 I’ve created a very long list of new videos and have started putting a couple together. Hopefully I’ll be offering a nice selection of material aimed at old and new bikers and keen photographers too! 😁👍
Next time you're up the A82 at glencoe do the Kinlochleven loop. A wee road road that goes round the loch and brings you back out same place. You won't regret it.
Thanks for your support. I’m pleased you have been able to visit too. I’m working on a new photography series too so hopefully that will help you take a better photo. 👍
im really not a fan of hauling a tripod around and setting it up then breaking it down etc but i think to get the best out of a trip like this it would be a must bit of kit. superb work here, very inspiring. hoping to do the n500 this coming year.
Thanks for commenting. Tripods can be a pain in the backside can’t they, but this Manfrotto BeFree Live Travel Tripod is really handy. It’s light in weight which isn’t always perfect in windy conditions but it’s a compromise. I also have a ball head which I use for my stills photography now and I can throw it in a backpack. Thanks for your encouragement, and good luck with your trip. Please let me know how you get on! 👊⚡️
Thanks for the YT tip, I’ll bear that in mind. I’m pleased you enjoyed the video, Glen Etive is a remarkable place but there’s so much to see you can’t fit it all in on a short trip!
I love it iv been riding for 3 years and i love photography to il be going to Scotland in june i hope my photography busines will be up and running by December i hope i love it🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️📸📸📸📸📷📷📷
It sounds like we’re like minded people. It’s really tough for creatives right now which is why creating these videos has kept me sane. I hope you’re doing ok! There’s a playlist of my creative studio shoots, check them out if you get time. I’m also working on a photography series for this channel! All the best! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones ye im watching the play list now i just cant wait for this covid thing to pass so i can travel the uk tge i hope i will be going to norway next year to do some photography
@@damien5558 Thanks for checking out my other photography videos. Norway sounds awesome, I hope you get too travel soon. I’m looking forward to shooting again too, this has been going on for too long now! All the best! 😁🏍📸

Brilliant Video👍 we've just discovered your channel and subscribed. You're editing style is spot on. Well done 👍looking forward to watching the rest of your content
Thanks! 😊 I’m really pleased you enjoyed the videos and thanks for subscribing. I’ve planned a lot more content but lockdown is restricting my creating some of the videos right now. It shouldn’t be too long before I get some more on the channel! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones we know the feeling, it's hard isn't it. We started our channel back in August and had so much planned but luckily we've got a backlog of videos we're still releasing. If you come to Hampshire and the south coast we'll show you some nice places to ride and video 👍
@@RevZolution it’s not easy is it but it is what it is! I’m glad you have got lots of material to share, I’ll be sure to check it out later. Thanks for the offer of a rideout, sounds like fun! 😁👍
I love the way Southern Britons think they are in some uncharted territory of the Congo when they come up here. Thousands of bikers go up there from Glasgow every other day haha
You’re absolutely right! It’s such a different world to Essex, yes we have countryside but nothing like the views you get in Scotland. Don’t take it for granted! I wish I could ride up there every other day! 😁👍
Thanks James, I’m pleased you enjoyed watching it. Scotland is an amazing place, you’ll love it! I stayed in air BnB accommodations to keep the price down, and they were all great. I hope you have a great trip, let me know how you get on 😁👍
Great images and landscapes, specially for motorcycle and photography enthusiasts like me! How did you manage to load your luggage and photography gear on the motorcycle? (It's seem too much for the Suzuki GSX750S) Did you have a support vehicle?
Thanks for the kind comments. It was just me, my GSX S750, an Oxford T30R Tailpack and a small rucksack. Remember the drone footage was supplied. There wasn’t any spare room in my bags but it was comfortable. Keep an eye out for my photography series coming soon. 😁👍
Sorry for the late reply. I left around 9 am, stopped for petrol and a toilet break every couple of hours, had a lunch break and I was near Loch Lomond by 5pm I believe. It’s well worth the journey, I can’t wait to get back one day! 😁👍
Anyone doing the Trossachs route from the Callender side and hasn't done it before be careful of the corner that doubles back on itself as you ride down into Aberfoyle it's brutal
Hi David. Thanks for saying you enjoyed the video, did you see what happened to my camera in Part Two? I’m looking forward to starting on a new video soon all about photography. This will be an ongoing series so I really hope it will be of interest and help you too. Watch this space as they say! 😁👍
Great video makes me proud to be A Scot, the only thing you need to work on is your pronunciation of the place names try doing it while clearing your throat lol😎
Thanks, I’m pleased the videos made you feel proud. I’m sorry about the pronunciations, I tried my best but knew they weren’t 💯. I did actually contact an Instagram follower who lives in Glasgow, but he declined his help as wasn’t confident he would get them right. Hopefully next time I’ll do better?! I appreciate the feedback though! 😁👍
I'm sorry Phil, You are a great personality but the quality of the video is poor! blurry... for a professional photographer like you, other than that it's a great clip.
Thanks for your comment. The sound isn’t the best which is why I’ve remixed it in the full length film version, but the footage is blurry you say. I haven’t heard that one before but hey. Thanks for sharing. I’m not a professional filmmaker by the way, just photographer. I’ve lots to learn when creating videos! 👍
It's a real shame had to stop watching half way through as the music was too loud and couldn't hear what you were saying, I know I sound like an old man but I'm just being honest 👍
Thanks for your feedback and honesty. It’s a learning curve but I’ve learnt a lot since producing the first video and hopefully the sound quality has improved. There are captions if you’re interested. 😁
Your wish is my command. I’ve just remixed and uploaded the full-length video of my Adventures in Scotland. I hope you can enjoy it now with the improved sound quality. Please let me know what you think! All the best! 😁👍
Since the art of photography lies in composition, you wouldn't take a photo facing directly into the sun, the result would be a washout. So why on earth in the video, would you drown out your voice with overbearing music?
Thanks for your feedback. I hope to be creating a video soon about photography and breaking the rules which includes shooting into the sun, so watch this space. Point taken about the sound mix, it’s a learning curve for me and hopefully the mix was much better on parts two and three. I’m sorry it ruined your viewing.
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Thank you for your respectful reply, the music was toned down slightly in parts 2+3, though still drowning you out in parts. I realised after I said it that certain shots require to be taken into the sun, but I think you know what I meant. I did enjoy your images, even the iPhone took some pretty good shots. The GoPro on your chest also offered some great footage, I may try that, as I'm toying with shooting similar scenes. I've had to mount mine on the side of my helmet due to air vents on the front, the side of my helmet appears in shot and head movement ( life savers) are rather jerky. Was it you who previously did videos on a Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport? I watched them before buying one myself, now plan to replace it with a ZZ-R 1400. Sadly I suspect lockdown has restricted your ambitions, I do hope you get another opportunity soon. I much preferred to hear the raw sound of the bike. All the best for future trips, hopefully we'll get the freedom to explore when the better weather comes.
@@michaellilley6725 Hi again. As I say it’s still a learning curve for me especially with sound and video, I’m okay with a DLSR! 🤣 This is my first biking channel and I also want to make it about other things as the channel trailer explains. Good luck with the GoPro, restrictions certainly haven’t helped my life that’s for sure but creating these videos have helped! 👍
Brilliant photography, great bike and I can't wait for part two.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. It was a great bike, and perfect on this trip!
Fabulous. What an Amazing and Beautiful Place. 🖤
I’m pleased you liked the video. If nothing else I hope it encourages more bikers to go ride in Scotland. There are so many more places I want to visit. You’ll see more in Part Two! 😊

OMG the pictures in your video are amazing, that has made up my mind I am going to Scotland on my Suzuki GSR 750 😁 and I an deffo gonna take my Nikon slr. Great work sir, stay sate 🏍🤙
Thanks so much for the kind comments, I'm pleased you like them. You got to take your camera, a travel tripod will help too. Let me know how you get on and click the bell so you don't miss Part Two!
Dukes pass is a great road, 10 mins from my house 👌🏻
It is indeed! I stayed at Renton for the first couple of nights, Duke’s Pass was a great introduction to what I could expect from the roads in Scotland! 😁 👍
Stunning footage 👍
Thanks! 😊👍
Some beautiful views, went to Scotland September 2019 did most of the NC500 and went up Applecross (Bealach ne Ba ) in the rain unfortunately. Cannot wait to go back fantastic for bikers but hopefully with better weather.
Hi. You never know what weather you’re going to get, but I’m pleased it didn’t put you off returning one day. Sounds like you had a great trip! 😁👍
I think I’ve come across your posts on Instagram.
Scotland is on the top of our list for the first adventures together.
It’s lovely to see your daughter with the same passion.
Also great to see chocolate as a snack break for you 😉
Hi Andrea. I do get around! 🤣 I’m also Phil Jones Photography on Instagram. You’ll love visiting Scotland, yell if I can help anymore. Drop me a DM if you know my daughter! You can’t ever have enough chocolate! 🤣😁👊
brilliant video
Thanks! I’m pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment. I hope you enjoy parts 2&3! 😊
A fantastic video with superb photography of undoubtedly my favourite destination. I live in Essex, and the journey up is well worth it (in fact I enjoy that as well!). All being well, I’ll be island hopping next May, including the outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Paul
Thanks, Paul! I didn’t relax as much as I would have liked on my journey up there as my Sat Nav kept losing power, fortunately it worked perfectly when I arrived. Fingers crossed your trip still goes ahead in May. It sounds awesome! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I have an external GoPro battery pack which I keep in the pouch at the back of my jacket meant for a water bladder. I then just run a cable through and keep it plugged in to the camera. No more battery changing! 👍
@@1962jpg sounds like a good idea! I literally only got the GoPro just before my trip, great tip though! 👍
Phil, you should rename yourself "The man in black" lol I love your photographic style, I even bought some ACF50 after watching your film.
Johnny Cash beat me to it! 🤣 Thanks for your kind comments, I really appreciate it. The ACF50 is great stuff! 👍
Really nice video. I missed you by almost exactly a year, I was there on my own in between lockdowns in 2020, which made the evenings awkward, but the roads and sights remained just as amazing. 👍🏻
Thanks so much. It sounds like a great time to go, I hope you had good weather and more especially, a great time 😁👍
Really enjoyed your vid, some excellent photographs in there. Your channel definitely deserves more subs than it has. I'm in 👍
Thanks so much! I really the kind comments and I’m pleased to have you onboard! 😁 I’ve created a very long list of new videos and have started putting a couple together. Hopefully I’ll be offering a nice selection of material aimed at old and new bikers and keen photographers too! 😁👍
Next time you're up the A82 at glencoe do the Kinlochleven loop. A wee road road that goes round the loch and brings you back out same place. You won't regret it.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll be sure to check that out next time! 😁👍
great photos
Thanks, I appreciate that. I’m looking forward to creating new videos soon about motorcycle photography!
Great filming and the photos were stunning. I were there two years ago and the locations are amazing. Thanks for sharing. Hit the sub. 👍🏻🍻
Thanks for your support. I’m pleased you have been able to visit too. I’m working on a new photography series too so hopefully that will help you take a better photo. 👍
im really not a fan of hauling a tripod around and setting it up then breaking it down etc but i think to get the best out of a trip like this it would be a must bit of kit. superb work here, very inspiring. hoping to do the n500 this coming year.
Thanks for commenting. Tripods can be a pain in the backside can’t they, but this Manfrotto BeFree Live Travel Tripod is really handy. It’s light in weight which isn’t always perfect in windy conditions but it’s a compromise. I also have a ball head which I use for my stills photography now and I can throw it in a backpack. Thanks for your encouragement, and good luck with your trip. Please let me know how you get on! 👊⚡️
Very nice video buddy. I'm sad that we didn't have enough time for the Glen Etive detour
Thanks for the YT tip, I’ll bear that in mind. I’m pleased you enjoyed the video, Glen Etive is a remarkable place but there’s so much to see you can’t fit it all in on a short trip!
I love it iv been riding for 3 years and i love photography to il be going to Scotland in june i hope my photography busines will be up and running by December i hope i love it🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️📸📸📸📸📷📷📷
It sounds like we’re like minded people. It’s really tough for creatives right now which is why creating these videos has kept me sane. I hope you’re doing ok! There’s a playlist of my creative studio shoots, check them out if you get time. I’m also working on a photography series for this channel! All the best! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones ye im watching the play list now i just cant wait for this covid thing to pass so i can travel the uk tge i hope i will be going to norway next year to do some photography
@@damien5558 Thanks for checking out my other photography videos. Norway sounds awesome, I hope you get too travel soon. I’m looking forward to shooting again too, this has been going on for too long now! All the best! 😁🏍📸
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones if uget the chance you should travel to Madrid its on the outscerts of Spain its so beautiful sorry abou my spelling i struggle wit my reading writing and spelling lol
@@damien5558 Thanks for the tip. I haven’t toured through Europe yet but I would like to one day. My dream is to ride to Italy! 😁
Nice👌👍👍👍
Thanks, Paul.
Brilliant Video👍 we've just discovered your channel and subscribed. You're editing style is spot on. Well done 👍looking forward to watching the rest of your content
Thanks! 😊 I’m really pleased you enjoyed the videos and thanks for subscribing. I’ve planned a lot more content but lockdown is restricting my creating some of the videos right now. It shouldn’t be too long before I get some more on the channel! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones we know the feeling, it's hard isn't it. We started our channel back in August and had so much planned but luckily we've got a backlog of videos we're still releasing. If you come to Hampshire and the south coast we'll show you some nice places to ride and video 👍
@@RevZolution it’s not easy is it but it is what it is! I’m glad you have got lots of material to share, I’ll be sure to check it out later. Thanks for the offer of a rideout, sounds like fun! 😁👍
inspiring.
Thanks!
I love the way Southern Britons think they are in some uncharted territory of the Congo when they come up here. Thousands of bikers go up there from Glasgow every other day haha
You’re absolutely right! It’s such a different world to Essex, yes we have countryside but nothing like the views you get in Scotland. Don’t take it for granted! I wish I could ride up there every other day! 😁👍
Glen Etive, where they filmed scenes from Skyfall, it is absolutely stunning.
It certainly is, one of my favourite locations for sure, Bealach na Ba in Part Two is incredible too! Thanks for watching 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones You're welcome and you have a new subscriber, your videos are amazing.
@@Hondadctrider Thanks very much. I’m trying and learning at the same time! 😁👍
7:18 to 7:39 -- is this with Fuji Velvia ??? LOL :)
They were all taken on a Canon 5D Mark IV and processed in Adobe Lightroom. I do like the rich colours tones as you’ve noticed! 😁👍
Hi I really enjoyed your video very much so I’m gonna do the same ride. May I ask what sort of accommodation did you stay in
Thanks James, I’m pleased you enjoyed watching it. Scotland is an amazing place, you’ll love it! I stayed in air BnB accommodations to keep the price down, and they were all great. I hope you have a great trip, let me know how you get on 😁👍
Great images and landscapes, specially for motorcycle and photography enthusiasts like me!
How did you manage to load your luggage and photography gear on the motorcycle? (It's seem too much for the Suzuki GSX750S) Did you have a support vehicle?
Thanks for the kind comments. It was just me, my GSX S750, an Oxford T30R Tailpack and a small rucksack. Remember the drone footage was supplied. There wasn’t any spare room in my bags but it was comfortable. Keep an eye out for my photography series coming soon. 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I'll keep waiting for the photography series!
I hope Suzuki UK actually refund you for the bike, the beauty shots are just so special.
Sadly not but feel free to suggest it to them! 🤣 Thanks for the kind comments! 😊👍
Great vid, really enjoyed it, I’m in Chelmsford so was interested to hear you rode from Essex, how long did it take?
Sorry for the late reply. I left around 9 am, stopped for petrol and a toilet break every couple of hours, had a lunch break and I was near Loch Lomond by 5pm I believe. It’s well worth the journey, I can’t wait to get back one day! 😁👍
Can you please make a review of the bike's performance.
Hi. I haven’t got the GSX S750 anymore, but I will be reviewing a few bikes soon and keep this in mind! Thanks for watching! 😁👍
Anyone doing the Trossachs route from the Callender side and hasn't done it before be careful of the corner that doubles back on itself as you ride down into Aberfoyle it's brutal
Thanks for the warning! 👍
I share the same hobbies but my shots are pure amateur compared to yours. Really enjoyed the vid...
Hi David. Thanks for saying you enjoyed the video, did you see what happened to my camera in Part Two? I’m looking forward to starting on a new video soon all about photography. This will be an ongoing series so I really hope it will be of interest and help you too. Watch this space as they say! 😁👍
Great video makes me proud to be A Scot, the only thing you need to work on is your pronunciation of the place names try doing it while clearing your throat lol😎
Thanks, I’m pleased the videos made you feel proud. I’m sorry about the pronunciations, I tried my best but knew they weren’t 💯. I did actually contact an Instagram follower who lives in Glasgow, but he declined his help as wasn’t confident he would get them right. Hopefully next time I’ll do better?! I appreciate the feedback though! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones good stuff next time you are up give us a shout and we will help.
@@satchitysatch Sounds like a great idea, thanks for the offer! 😁
I'm sorry Phil, You are a great personality but the quality of the video is poor! blurry... for a professional photographer like you, other than that it's a great clip.
Thanks for your comment. The sound isn’t the best which is why I’ve remixed it in the full length film version, but the footage is blurry you say. I haven’t heard that one before but hey. Thanks for sharing. I’m not a professional filmmaker by the way, just photographer. I’ve lots to learn when creating videos! 👍
It's a real shame had to stop watching half way through as the music was too loud and couldn't hear what you were saying, I know I sound like an old man but I'm just being honest 👍
Thanks for your feedback and honesty. It’s a learning curve but I’ve learnt a lot since producing the first video and hopefully the sound quality has improved. There are captions if you’re interested. 😁
Thinking about it, I might re mix the sound and upload another version! 😁👍
Your wish is my command. I’ve just remixed and uploaded the full-length video of my Adventures in Scotland. I hope you can enjoy it now with the improved sound quality. Please let me know what you think! All the best! 😁👍
Since the art of photography lies in composition, you wouldn't take a photo facing directly into the sun, the result would be a washout. So why on earth in the video, would you drown out your voice with overbearing music?
Thanks for your feedback. I hope to be creating a video soon about photography and breaking the rules which includes shooting into the sun, so watch this space. Point taken about the sound mix, it’s a learning curve for me and hopefully the mix was much better on parts two and three. I’m sorry it ruined your viewing.
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Thank you for your respectful reply, the music was toned down slightly in parts 2+3, though still drowning you out in parts. I realised after I said it that certain shots require to be taken into the sun, but I think you know what I meant. I did enjoy your images, even the iPhone took some pretty good shots. The GoPro on your chest also offered some great footage, I may try that, as I'm toying with shooting similar scenes. I've had to mount mine on the side of my helmet due to air vents on the front, the side of my helmet appears in shot and head movement ( life savers) are rather jerky. Was it you who previously did videos on a Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport? I watched them before buying one myself, now plan to replace it with a ZZ-R 1400. Sadly I suspect lockdown has restricted your ambitions, I do hope you get another opportunity soon. I much preferred to hear the raw sound of the bike. All the best for future trips, hopefully we'll get the freedom to explore when the better weather comes.
@@michaellilley6725 Hi again. As I say it’s still a learning curve for me especially with sound and video, I’m okay with a DLSR! 🤣 This is my first biking channel and I also want to make it about other things as the channel trailer explains. Good luck with the GoPro, restrictions certainly haven’t helped my life that’s for sure but creating these videos have helped! 👍
Hi Michael. I recently remixed the sound and created a full length video, I thought you would be interested to know. All the best! 😊👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Cheers I'll give it a look 👍
Great video, I hate the music though, everything now on tv and youtube is accompanied by stupid music.
