I think you missed Winnats Pass. Even what you thought may have been it doesn't sound like it. it's a narrow steep pass with 300ft cliffs either side goes on a few miles.
@@SamVBikes quite probably, if my old butt could handle it 😂 the last time I had a long weekend in Devon we stayed in Linton overlooking the sea. It was nice to have a leisurely breakfast and head out late morning. In my 20's and 30's I used to rise to the challenge of a long day, not sure how my aging joints would cope now 😂😂
@@SamVBikes very true but I won't get my youth back so 600 to 800 mile days are a thing of the past, unless I can convert my big leather armchair into a bike 😂😂 I have taken delivery and set up the bike bench, with the help of my brother, this weekend, knackered now and can't wait to get on the spanners asap. I got the Clarke one from machine mart and am impressed with the quality, given the price. It's just about the perfect length for my fj1200, so if anyone reads this, a big beemer, busa, zzr1400 or similar, would be okay too 👍
So you did do some great roads, Strines , Snake Pass, Up Tunal out of Glossop to Hayfield, Chapel-en-le-frith, so you must have gone down Winnats Pass to Castleton, bet that was fun going down on the brakes, its beautiful but very very steep. 🏍👍👌
@SamVBikes my back yard Sam lol. Next time you're up, I will do you a brew 👍 Had friends up from London on bank holliday weekend and took them around them and other roads. Take care, stay safe on that beast 🏍👌👍
Was trying to figure out route, if you want from bottom of Snake and ended up passing Yondermann looks like Winnat’s was done uphill which is less impressive view than down (uncles you went a really long way round)
Yes it's great! I did do Winnats but I had the camera off for it! Didn't realise it was that and couldn't find somewhere to pull over to put the camera and mic on!
Looking good sam looking good 👌 5th gear your blessed,mar groms got 4😂 Your gonna need a bigger stator for all your electric wizardry Vovos are magnetised to bikes, especially in Derbyshire 👍 Keep up the stella work mate 💪
@@SamVBikes you know your gonna pop some wheelies n endos.( knee down action,Technically not illegal ,bit of a grey area.) i wouldn't want to try and prove it especially explaining what your riding 😂
Hi Sam , get the miles in , get the Yoshimura RS 3 exhaust on , don’t bother with any other engine mods , I’ve seen 77 mph down hill (ok a steep hill) , their much quicker than people think and yeah dusting cars and bikes on narrow twisty roads is a pleasure , their a riot ,you need to convince a few mate to invest in mini bikes , then you heading for real fun , I ride around the lakes , Scotland and the Yorkshire dales , seven of us went up to butter tubs and tan hill a couple of time recently , on smaller roads like that your probably faster on a small bikes , I’ve done it on a diavel 1260 a couple of time recently and the though creeps into your mind ( I’d have more fun on a mini bike ) 🏍🏍👍👍
Haha! I've been tempted with the RS3 but a few people have said it's too loud, so going to wait until I've heard one in person before I order! I'm having a lot of fun on it so far. Looking forward to a few little mods! Already done the suspension
Not that we want to see any animal suffer unnecessarily, but I have seen you clip that pheasant now on at least two vidoes and laughed at both 😂. I think it's cos in my head I'm imagining the pheasant being some sort of hard case deciding it wanted to start a fight with its head versus you on the money 😂
😂😂😂😂 it's worrying that the monkey has that few hps, that it did no damage to either party 😂 I saw the first part of that sentence on the notification and thought "Here we go... another Nigel moaning about something I've done" 😂
@@SamVBikes I hope to have reset your initial concerns by the end of the post! 😂 That pheasant is now going around the Peak District like the cock of the walk, telling all of its pals that it beat a bloke on a bike in a fight. He fucking served you, mate...I bet that pheasant was responsible for dumping the gravel on that corner too 😉😂😂
You ever heard of nightcrawler666 he's got a cracking UA-cam channel ? he's just started a series of him doing a monkey bike up for helmet head as he's going round Europe. It's a cracking channel and the banter is great.
@@SamVBikes watching hima couple years now got a side kick called wooky. They've been on some cracking trips and it's always a good laugh. Getting mine serviced tomorrow , going to have a chat about this £2000 on top of book price offer against a new bike.
@@SamVBikes yeah maybe , they starting 16.5 k now were 14.5 k when I got mine. Them jeans good Sam thinking about getting a pair. They have offer on plus free gloves. 👍
Yeah was gonna say mine started at 15k when I bought it but worth a look! The Roadskin ones are really good so far! Fit and feel so much better. Got a discount code coming too
Sam two videos and i am hooked . you have such an infectious laugh . i have subscribed .
Haha thank you!!
Seriously, drives my crazy, can’t watch. 🙄
I think you missed Winnats Pass. Even what you thought may have been it doesn't sound like it. it's a narrow steep pass with 300ft cliffs either side goes on a few miles.
Yes I did get to do it but didn't have the cameras rolling! Couldn't find somewhere decent to pull over and wire up the mic etc!
Nice vlog Sam, I must go there, in 40 years of biking I have only been to and around Ashbourne once but it looks well worth a weekend exploring 👍
Thank you! Yeah it's definitely worth it. I reckon you could do the peaks and the lakes in a long day if you were determined!

Haha! Very true! Takes a bit of time to build up that bike fitness again!

Ahh amazing! I'd love to get myself a bench like that! Need one for working on the monkey 😂 even cleaning it gives me back ache haha

Very observant of you! Yes! A lot of fun on this bike! Don't build up enough speed to have to ride the brakes though haha

Haha! Yes I'll definitely take you up on that! Love that neck of the woods

Loving your mini adventure 😂😂
Haha thank you!
Hi mate. Can you tell me what phone mount are you using in the middle please?
It's a Mous intralock case with the velcro mount. I use it to move my phone to different bikes but it's solid
Great video, monkey bike look’s hilarious fun. Sadly it looks like you missed Winnats pass.
Yes it's great! I did do Winnats but I had the camera off for it! Didn't realise it was that and couldn't find somewhere to pull over to put the camera and mic on!
@@SamVBikes oh no! Got an excuse to come back though I guess 😉
What a shame right 😂😂
Looks a giggle mate, nice to see not vlogging a dead dog! 😂
Looking good sam looking good 👌
5th gear your blessed,mar groms got 4😂
Your gonna need a bigger stator for all your electric wizardry
Vovos are magnetised to bikes, especially in Derbyshire 👍
Keep up the stella work mate 💪
Haha thanks! I'd love to see if the 4 or 5 speed is quicker!
Appreciate the comment mate 💪🏼
@@SamVBikes Drag race 🤣 obviously in Mexico 😉
Does it need to be in Mexico if we can't break the speed limit haha
@@SamVBikes you know your gonna pop some wheelies n endos.( knee down action,Technically not illegal ,bit of a grey area.) i wouldn't want to try and prove it especially explaining what your riding 😂
I'm yet to wheelie this Monkey actually.. havent really tried. Guess I know what I'm planning at the weekend
Looks so much fun, are you going to try and get round the UK in 24 hours on the monkey.
I've got some challenges in mind - maybe a 4 points of the UK. Around the UK coast is over 7000 Miles haha! That would take me weeks!

This guys got the most devious laugh
Haha! Not sure where it comes from!
Who needs 160hp, right.? 😂👍🏻
😂😂 also me! But great to have a laugh on a small bike
Hello, are you happy with your monkey? THANKS
I LOVE it more every time I ride it!
@@SamVBikes merci 🇧🇪😉happy new Year 🤩
Happy new year to you too mate!
That was hilarious
Haha thank you!

Heard of the channels and I've watched some of HelmetHeads videos too. Will have to have a watch
