Freddie love your stuff - my wife loves you!! Not sure when you were in Scotland but I did the NC 500 for 10 days starting 4th June to
And from the Cotswolds wait for it…..on a 35 year old YB100cc that has done 32000 miles on the original engine. Oh and I’m a 23 stone 70 year old!! I’m currently editing videos the first one comes out tomorrow. Weather for me was fantastic!
I’ll pin this comment, Rob- what an adventure!!😳😀
@@FreddieDobbs It was !!
I love your channel cause it’s not all about the machines, it’s about a lifestyle, it’s about the people we meet and the places those machines, take us on this journey we call life.
Living vicariously through Freddie's adventures.
Ha! life all of us 😉
I now eagerly wait for new Freddie videos. Simple,poetic way of presenting ,kudos ...
Same!
Thank you sir, I’m so happy you enjoy the videos🙂
@@FreddieDobbs
Dobbsy
Agree!!!
Freddie is so cool. Just relaxing watching his videos and adventures 😊
Hi Freddie good evening. This is Sunil from New Delhi India. Love watching your videos. Wanted to buy Boneyville T100 in 2017 but due to unforeseen financial losses suffered in business, had to shelve the plans. Have booked RE Super Mateor in Feb and awaiting it's delivery. Happy Riding Himalayan
I’m so happy you’re back up and running and able to buy your dream bike, Sunil! Here’s to many happy miles🙂🤘🏼🇮🇳
Fish & Chips for tea .. and a Freddie video to watch. Awesome.
Thanks Patrick, have a great evening🙂
These videos are basically therapy to me at this point. Excellent work freddie, very very very much appreciated!
Thank you Edward, I so happy you enjoy them🙂
Axe throwing, beer and whiskey drinking... what could POSSIBLY go wrong 😂
Lovely video, thank you
Exactly my thoughts😆
@@FreddieDobbs😂
I suspect he's drinking whisky, not whiskey
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420
Who knew...
whisky is from Scotland and whiskey is from Ireland.
I didn't know that
A damn good time of course
Great video. I was sitting on my arse watching, I hit the pause button, grabbed the triumphs keys and went for my own ride. So dare I say inspirational too! I’m now back to hit the play button. Thanks Mr Dobbs.
After my brother 'gave' me his almost new KZ900, he bought this.
Back then, it seemed soooo smooth to ride. And, sooo futuristic.
Yeah, I would believe, if asked back then, if it'd do 100k miles, absolutely.
Thank you Freddie!
Oh, my brother let me take this out one late night (as an older brother would, he threatened my life if anything happened while I was riding this! Lol, well, something did but I didn't tell him until years later, 😮).
Like I said, late evening, wee small hours of the morning, I was the only one on a very wide and long and dark freeway, when I decided to test this thing, see what it felt like to go over 100 miles an hour on a bike.
I was watching the Speedo climb over 100 and something, when I noticed I wasn't the only one on the freeway. What caught my attention, was red and blue flashing lights all around me, or so it seemed, I looked over my shoulder, about knocked me off the bike from the scare, was a motorcycle Highway Patrol. He was right on my shoulder!
Man, I haven't thought about that for I don't know how long, sorry for all the comments Freddie.
I love this- what a story! It’s funny how a bike can transport you right back to a specific moment in time🙂
Thank you both!
That’s incredibly kind of you Ron, thank you so much! Both Monika and I are sending you all our very best over in the US🙂🇺🇸
I can feel it, thank you both sooo much!
Wait until you meet Mr Midge and his many , many family friends !
😆
Came for the bike content, stayed for the vibe! Great stuff Freddie 👍
I haven’t rode a motorcycle since I were a teenager and watching Freddie’s videos makes me feel like going out and buying another one and I’m 61 now
Thanks!
That’s incredibly kind of you, thank you so much, Marco!🙂
@@FreddieDobbs my pleasure! Your videos are absolutely inspiring and entertaining, bringing a lot of joy to me indeed. Thanks!
What a beauty 🤩 at 6:45 . Name pls? Thanks for the great, lovely video
Really enjoying this series. Good enough to be on TV. Well done.
Great video Freddie. Welcome to Scotland - one of the best biking countries on the planet.
I would love to ride through the town of Chillingbourne on the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. ❤
Gotta love Scotland on a bike! Nice video as ever.....
I thought I recognised Craig. (Scrambler AMS) My wife and I spent a week riding with him on Gran Canaria back in 2016. He's a really nice guy and a really good rider.
Looks great accommodation and an interesting trip. 👍
The quality of video u are turning out is awesome Freddie, I appreciate the work u put into editing these vids for ur audience 👍👌
Freddie, you should be with a major TV company! Your way of mixing riding and scenery in your editing is quite simply superb. I added a sub and am now working my way through your entire back catalogue of videos, they're all fantastic. Your ease of presentation is brilliant, AND you speak as a fellow biker, with very interesting tips and ideas. Thank you so much for all your content, keep up the great work. Ride safe mate
Oh man it looks absolutely amazing! I might have to check out that bikerbnb situation ;)
Man. That seems like a cool place to hang out and look at bikes!
I didn’t expect it to be such a cool motorcycle shop- the selection was incredible!
This is why the rest of biker Europe come to the uk.
It's fabulous.
Safe, happy travels 👍
Did my CBT there last year start of August, great place with great staff, and JT's cafe does superb food.
WoW! awesome vid freddie... blown away by the quality of your vids... can't wait for the next one!
Another awesome video by Dobbs!
Your channel is blowing up! I always knew this would eventually happen as soon as I stumbled upon one of your videos nearly 3 months ago. Congrats on 100k (almost)
How fortunate you are to take life by the horns and choose your path. Looks absolutely relaxing.
Freddie again!
Yes sir!🙂
Glad you perservered through your challenges to make this trip & managed to secure your Himalayan,look forward to your next vlog,safe riding 👊😉
Great video Freddie 🎉
Thanks Martin!
The modified interceptor looks incredible. I’m new to Royal Enfield and recently moved away from sportsbikes to a ‘22 Continental GT 650, partly down to your review of the dux deluxe model 😊 loving it so far 👍🏼
Boosting the algorithm to get Freddie to 100k! 🎉
Been waiting for this one to go along with my meal.
I hope you enjoy it🥘📹🙂
@@FreddieDobbs I did. Cheers!
What a beautiful way of presenting a video love it freddie
And i think the last sun set shot should be a wallpaper for me
It was breathtakingly stunning, Tanmay🌅🏴
@@FreddieDobbs can't wait for the next one.. buddy
Absolutely Love That Highlander Interceptor 650 Stunning 😎😎
That reminded me my journey around Asturias a year ago, I was riding a Himalayan also, I really liked that experience
Brilliant Video Freddie, welcome to Scotland.
Wait, what, another amazing series from Freddie, straight after the Morocco one, hurry, wheres that beer?! Ride safe!! 👍👍
Great one again Freddie. You made my day, sunshine, coffee by the backyard and on top your beautiful images with amazing sound track. Cheers from France
Lovely cafe to start the day.
Congratulations F @ M nearly a 100 k followers . Life changing stats. Congratulations again . Im sure my sentiments are not my own.. the editing is a dream …filmimg a joy so professional
Thank you so much for watching the videos, Richard. Monika and I both hugely appreciate it🙂
Brilliant Freddie.
Lovely colours and framing at the end there Freddie.... thanks for sharing.
That bike shop is awesome.
What a fantastic overnight stop (helped by the beautiful weather of course 😎) and I’m very much looking forward to the rest of this trip and seeing how you feel about the Himalayan. I keep getting tempted to add one to my stable as a lightweight fun green lanes bike 👍
I’ll try and not give too much away on my thoughts re the Himalayan, but it was genuinely thrashed for five days solid!
Been to scotland 3 times on a bike and weather was beautiful - guess lucky. Truly beautiful biking roads. Am so envious matey
thanks for sharing Freddie , till the next time .
Wow that Himalayan is beautiful! Enjoy the ride.
Up your kilt laddie in joy glad u got a bike in Scotland
Haha thank you, Eddie!🏴
lovely scenery
Freddie I’m not really into motorbikes but…
Every adventure you go on interesting great commentary price of hotels bit of history few facts & good follow up…
Top job keep em coming 👍👍👍👍thank you 🙏
I enjoy your videos Freddie!!😊😊
Saltire Motorcycles looks like an awesome shop. I'd just like to point out the spectacular Chevy step side truck they had there in the showroom. We don't see too many of those anymore.
Great stuff, Freddie. Cheers
Another interesting ride Mr Dobbs. That kawasaki was immaculate. Looked like it was off the showroom floor!
I'm going to head up to Scotland on my Harley Breakout someday. I love Scotland, especially the Highlands.
This is just superb, Freddie you can enjoy it all on our behalf!
@6:14 Damn what bike is that, she's a beauty. Love your work by the way, its quality!!
Good start weatherwise. Great panniers on your RE. 95,000 miles on that Kawasaki. He obviouslyt cleans it. Only six hours of daylight sounds grim. 1990
Saltire Motorcycles are great guys, my go to dealer in Edinburgh. Then it was like watching my sunday ride 😅you stopped at Powmill Milk Bar (a great biker stop) and back roads up to Perthshire.
Glad you got the weather, great content Freddie, loving it 👌
I didn’t expect Saltire to be so big! The biking scene in Scotland is much bigger than I thought it’d be.
Riding heaven❤🏴
As they say in Scotland, Funtastic
After seeing this, I think you should ride the tunnels between the Faroe Islands! Or a Scottish island tour. It would be amazing to watch and I think you’d enjoy it!
Another superb vlog! Scotland and RE Himmie - the perfect match when the sun shines! Fabulous filming and editing- thank you Freddie & Monica.
Thank you Ian🙂
Saltire is where I picked up my classic 350 a year ago, great place and a great bunch of guys. Always seem interested to show you around and the cafe is great for a biker lunch (or a good cup of tea).
Thanks Freddie great video with nice bikes and amazing scenery
The ZRX looks phenomenal, especially in that green. Great video! Have fun.
Great video of a great trip.
I cant wait to see Scotland again, I love it up there.
I'm off for my first ride with thd Widows sons on Sunday.
Can't wait!
Pure class Freddie - pure class 👌
Those custom Royal Enfield Interceptor scramblers are amazing! I've been planning to get an interceptor to customize similar to that, looks like great fun
Looks like a fun trip to do .
Love your videos.
Thank you🙂🙌🏻🙌🏻
Top Notch! You and your Lady friend are doing great things. Top 5 Motorcycle UA-cam channels for me. Thanks to both of you. Love the music selection.
Fantastic !
Great Freddie best of luck for your ride Himalayan is good
Fabulous Freddie! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. So good to see you got a RE Himalayan to ride. Cheers!
Beautiful summer weather--and you thought it would surely be raining by now.
Looks great Freddie nice one
I'll be visiting the UK in 2025 and Scotland is high on the agenda along with IOM TT .. I always enjoy your videos Freddie, you have great skills with the camera and a good attitude to life. Enjoy your weekend!
One of my favorite trips so far, Freddie. And the music choices are spot on for the mood of this adventure! Well done!
Personally I'd rather hear the bikes than the music, particularly when it's piped at a somewhat higher level than the speech - makes me jump out of my seat when it starts 😎
🪓🏍looks great Freddy.
What a coincidence, I live in Leith and I found your video just now
Whilst it all looks to be wonderful I personaly like riding on my own or with very very few friends "probably because I only have a few friends" but as always a great up load well done young sir !!
Great vlog Freddie. God's country. I miss Scotland. Enjoy every minute
Great video Freddie! That has to be the best bike dealer I have ever seen. I really like Edinburg and I had the same impression regarding the Scottish architecture when I was over there. Enjoy the adventure 👍🏻👍🏻
Great vlog Freddie, looks stunning, beers, whisky and axe throwing...what more can you ask for?..lol look forward to this adventure.
Nice Triumph Herald!👍
Beautiful scenery and a stunning sunset. Sound slike your loving the Himalayan in the absence of the Bonny, it's definitely right for the job up there in Scotland. Looking forward to see how much you fall in love with it and forget the Bonny, poor old thing 😀
It’s true Dale- I did slightly start to forget about my Bonneville (which is still awaiting parts from Triumph as I write this!😳)
@@FreddieDobbs I do find it disconcerting that you are still waiting for parts. Is this a British bike or shipped in and unpacked here? Something for a Tuesday discussion maybe 😄
What beautiful country in the sunshine. So glad you got the bike sorted out. The Himalaya is much more accommodating than your Pops bicycle😁. Looking at those hard panniers it is set up perfectly for this type of adventure.
Ohh Freddie, the start a of another epic adventure 👌 Hope you like the midgies😉 Enjoy beautiful Scotland!🙌 Stay cool⭐️
Great video Freddie, for info the Saltire is the name of the blue and white Scottish flag
It’s pathetic that I didn’t know this🤯 Thank you for sharing this
Brilliant video Freddie. I did my DAS with Saltire this year and I can highly recommend them 👍
Nice one Freddie.....
Liked it will see it later much love Freddie ❤😊
Wouldn't have ever bought bikes without your Recommendations buddy.
I own 3 now, Z650RS, SUPERMETEOR 650 AND a YEZDI ROADSTER.
Next is a Triumph Street Twin 900.
Beautiful, just like you always say 😊
Another stunning video Freddie. I’m really looking forward to this trip.
