  • After having the best time up the West Coast, I head north along the top of Scotland heading towards John O' Groats, which was just as stunning. Having not really visited much of Scotland before, I was amazed how vast it is, and with endless views and twisty road is every bikers paradise!!

    Thanks Shaun. Enjoying the series. The new pastime of wind surfing and Seal clubbing had me in stitches. 😂 Scotland is epic isn’t it.

    Just found your channel and really enjoyed it, especially the Scottish trip, I live near Fort William so venture along many of those roads quite regularly. Tiny point, at passing places on single track roads you don’t cross the road into the passing bay, you stop opposite it. You only go into the passing bay if it on your side of the road ie on the left.

    • @thelikeablerider8800
      @thelikeablerider8800  6 місяців тому +1

      I'm aware that's how the passing point should work, just felt more logical to do it that way, and as it wasn't busy thought sod it!

    Hi Shaun, new to the channel, but not Scotland / NC500, done it a few times with variations to keep it interesting. Loving the humour! And looks like you've had brilliant weather so far! Always interested in where people stay - A good hotel is always a great recommendation. Mike.

    The only thing with going clockwise is what you mentioned. The feeling of its over before it is. Going the otherway it builds and builds.

    • @thelikeablerider8800
      @thelikeablerider8800  10 місяців тому +1

      I think you're probably right, but having spent a few days at my folks (who live on the west coast) it made more sense for me to do it that way. I'm not sure I'd do the east coast again, didn't find that as enjoyable!

    Hello mate… recently subbed to your channel and just working my way through. I noticed you had the KTM1290 after you had your 1st gen XR and you’ve now gone back to another XR gen2. The question is why another XR??
    I ask the above as I’m just about to pull the trigger on a used XR gen2 (my 1st BMW). Thanks and really enjoying the channel 👍

    • @thelikeablerider8800
      @thelikeablerider8800  9 місяців тому +1

      I had a bit of a mare with my KTM's service wise, and the second gen XR had just come out, thought bugger it, let's have another! That being said my current XR is now going!🤦‍♂️🤣 find it to uncomfortable on longer runs, which is a shame as I love the thing otherwise. More to come on that issue in further content!

    With the moaning about the jacket vents, I was gonna say that's the true Brit coming out of you. We do like to moan about 1st world issues you know 😂
    Anyway, back to a serious note, how are you finding living with an inline 4 after the 2 v-twins? I know for a fact the v-twins will be more fun but that doesn't make them better to live with. I'm coming up ready for a change and I'm not sure I'm ready to change from a v-twin to an inline 4, but after having bought a couple of 90's super bikes, I'm thinking maybe I am.... 🤔

    He and we would have benefitted more from the views of Scotland had he slowed, maybe a little. Not only was he on narrow single track roads but a lot of the time he was riding with one hand on the handlebars and god knows what he was doing with the other one. At one time he was opening a breather zip on his jacket and quite honestly complaining about how difficult it was. Perhaps with a bit of thought he could have stopped and taken one second to do it instead at about 25 mph. At time his speed was in the 40s and if something else was coming the other way at that same speed his collision would have been at some 80 mph. Not nice on a single road with a long wait for an ambulance. Never mind it looked good and maybe that all that counts..... or is it?

      @@thelikeablerider8800 They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and so unfortunately we see videos of others riding down a road and doing things that they should not be doing. Those simple things that if they become acceptable would make our roads a much more dangerous place.
      So that is why I make comment, whilst the vast majority of viewers seem to want to praise someone. There are those that are inexperienced riders who would be led into bad practises etc. and that would lead them and other road users into trouble.
