Excellent video, thanks very much!! I was actually trying to think my next trip, and you've inspired me to have a look up in Scotland, so thanks very much! Safe travels and all the best.
Joe , just keep doing what your doing, it's cool mate, not forced, it's relaxed and it's enjoyable 😊 You got me excited when you entered Drumbeg, we stayed there at Tor Druim , cracking B&B and surrounded by the most stunning scenery and nature. Safe travels.... M.
Great series. A few of us recently did the NC500 but anti clockwise. Rode up from Preston, first night In Pitlochery then through the Cairngorms to Inverness. Stunning roads and scenery.
Really enjoyed this series. I’m heading off on the NC500 on Monday next week and this really gave me a great idea of what to expect. Thanks Joe and keep up the content - I’ve subscribed.
I think people appreciate grit and honesty in videos more than anything, you feel more immersed. Really enjoying the series and the view in this video are simply stunning. Atb, Dave
Fantastic first effort series, great insight as to the good and bad. Enjoy making the videos as much as your subscribers love watching them, look forward to seeing more and your channel grow 🏍👍
Very well said and your right me as a UA-camr went down the same path of performing for the camera but I also quickly realise that wasn’t me, being yourself is always the best way but you still have to make it interesting and that’s the pressure pleasing the audience! I also found it burnt me out but now i find it much more enjoyable. I have watched all this trip back to back now and I think your a good creator and editor, I’ll keep following but remember we need to keep people engaged as you already know 👍
Great scenery along the top coast the sea looks so blue and you had the good weather. Would love to do what you have done work and wife allowing.And if you can't express yourself on your own channel in the way that you think you should then I don't what you can do.Be yourself film what you want I have loved all your content so far keep up the good work
I was lucky enough to do this a couple of years ago and there isn't a camera that can capture just how special the north west highland really are. Thanks for taking me back there again Joe!
Hey Joe Mate, you’re really watchable just being yourself. Huge props to you for what you said at the start of this one. We all know the channels you’re talking about, and it DOES start to grate after a while.. We’ve only seen your NC500 vids cos we did the same trip last summer, even stayed at The Caledonian! Really enjoying it though. Keep doing you ❤
Joe for the love of all things, JUST BE YOU.... If people don't like it then they don't have to watch. We as in most people can smell BS a mile away. Yes we need to push ourselves but just be you Don't be afraid of putting in the bad as well as the good. Ya doing great fella👍👍
Another quality upload Joe. Fantastic roads and views. Didnt realise you were heading back to the Northwest. Only down the road from me. Looking forward to future videos. All the best.
This is the first vlog of yours on my feed. Let the journey do the talking as there is plenty out there to enjoy 🙂 Quite jealous, always phissing down when I go up there. Still love it.
im turning 46 this year and passed my mod 1 and 2 about 3 weeks ago and found your channel by chance looking for info on the nc500 ive just watched your Greece videos (might have to do that one myself) going to watch your wales ones after this, i just really like how down to earth you are, not plastic like some of the other videos out there, Keep up the good content Joe 🏍👍
Don't worry about what people say mate, don't leave them ruin your day, I get comments that would ruin it for me, but i don't give them attention and just delete them. be yourself, do what you like doing, i realized i was doing content for the sake of youtube and for getting more subs and views, but what for, to waste my time and be away from what i love the most, no no, Like you say, if people want to watch, fine, if don't so be it 🤣 Loving your content bro! Is so funny, that it happen to me exactly the same on my NC500 trip, but from John O'Groats down, started the insta and forgot to take the rubber cover off 🤣, looks like you had the NC500 all to yourself 🤩 PS: around min 16, you edited that part twice, we all learn from mistakes, i'm not judging.
Thanks mate, really the comment and your thoughts 👍🏻 you have to ask yourself why are you making the content so it’s got to be something you enjoy. Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one with the cover haha
Great series. Do you think 5/6 days was a tight squeeze? Agree just be yourself. I did not spot any herds of haggis sweeping majestically across the grasslands.😅
Hey Joe, you're over analysing it mate. Make the content the way you want it to be. Its the only way you can happy with it. So far so good from what I see. Relax and enjoy the ride. You're doing grand.
Enjoying the videos, lots miss it but there is a quite famous cafe chocolate shop called Cocoa Mountain in Durness on a little think ex military barracks type place along with some other shops. A bit pointless now but maybe if you do the journey again something to look out for.
Yer doing fine. I’m Scottish but live in Australia. If you want to learn how to handle a bike off road, I cannot recommend Australia high enough. Shit tonnes of our roads here are unsealed dusty pot holes roads and learning to ride dirt isn’t easy for a roady. Keep loose, let the bike move about under you and stay loose. Ps , love yer pronunciations of places, reminds me of me in Oz when I came here. Made a mess of most of them 😂😂 Great vids. I watch heaps of UA-cam videos. Motology and Adam reimann is one I’d recommend. He scripts his but try and see if you like his, he’s a proper dirt rider. Lots of UA-cam stuff, they turn into actors and that’s fake AF. Complete turn off. Charlie and fogerty recently on the ducatis was painful and I like both of them, big Ducati fan. Just advertising crap. Best of luck 🤙🤙🤙 Do it for you, it for anyone else. 😎
Thanks mate, great to hear from you. Australia is the best place for adventure biking. I lived in Sydney for many years, I’m hoping to return next year 🙌🙌
Jo, if it was easy everyone would do it. Like most things in life you will learn, develop a style and feel comfortable. if you just be you, people who like it will come back for more. if they don't like it they will move on. Fact of life you can't please everyone all the time. Keep going. Have you looked at Adam Reiman - if not have a look. He doesn't give a shit about what people feel but he has a massive following.
Hey dude don’t be so hard on yaself or over analytical, I watch the videos for you ya seem down to earth regular guy doing stuff on his bike not for lavish trips or top gear style shananigans
Hi Joe. The channel is in the title. Joe Bennett Freedom Machines.. If people want a slick commercial channel they can click elsewhere. Just thank the commenters for their input add an extra thankyou for any good advice and carry on. A vlog is a personal diary that you left on the coffee table to allow anyone to just flick through. keep happy my friend and include a blooper reel with trip photos. It will show you are a real person not a scripted presenter .:) oh and its five seasons in one day.. the fifth is. THE BLOODY MIDGE SEASON 🤣🤣😁 💯🙏🤳📽🎬❤🩹
Awesome podcast realy enjoyed our chat . Look forward to more soon . Caaaaaaaaaaannnnnonbawz 💚

A very honest and a real life video. both photography and information provided is good. i like it. keep them coming.
I was lucky enough to do this a couple of years ago and there isn't a camera that can capture just how special the north west highland really are. Thanks for taking me back there again Joe!
This is so true, none of the footage does it any justice. Thank you for watching

Exactly right 👍🏻

Keep it honest and keep it you. Great work and now a subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
I did the NC500 clockwise, the first week in April this year. The roads were gloriously quiet. I wouldn’t go anywhere near it during the busy months.
Hey Joe, you're over analysing it mate. Make the content the way you want it to be. Its the only way you can happy with it. So far so good from what I see. Relax and enjoy the ride. You're doing grand.
My favourite video yet! Such lovely comments 💗
I used to drive an 18 tonne truck delivering up and round the NC500
Tight roads 😊 I could think of worse routes for work
Enjoying the videos, lots miss it but there is a quite famous cafe chocolate shop called Cocoa Mountain in Durness on a little think ex military barracks type place along with some other shops. A bit pointless now but maybe if you do the journey again something to look out for.
Just subscribed m8, enjoyed the series, done it a few times, still think anti clockwise is better if u go again
Thanks for the sub! There will definitely be another time 👍🏻
I am fc from Thailand.
I'll be doin it on a gixer 750
Yer doing fine.
