- After a pub breakfast, followed by a coffee and cake, I head off-road, deep into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, before spending the night in the heart of the 1000 year old market town of Richmond, Yorkshire.

Thanks Freddie for visiting our Cafe we really appreciate it!
Nice looking cafe
I'll be in one day I hope! a Kiwi
North Easterner here, think he's convinced me to stop by some time!
Might have to give a go myself when passing through
From the dales, the moors, the wolds and onto the east coastline, Yorkshire has it all.
I know you love your Bonnie, Freddie, but let's face it - you NEED a Transalp in your life! Superb episode in a great series. Keep up the great videos and ride safe.
Yep, maybe you're right @scottydog, but the Transalp still has to pass the MPRT (Monika Pillion Rider Test)!
I agree fully. I just bought one in the states and haven't regretted it at all
nahhhh keep the Bonnie if it gets sorted!
Keep both. Monica needs a transalp in her life too.
I’ve been catching up on the Yorkshire road trip vlogs and am starting to think that Freddie is beginning to fall for the Transalp. With the range of accessories available it’s genuinely a really competent machine at everything. I actually might price one up myself!
What do you mean “Grumpy men’s club”?? That’s cheerful for Yorkshire! 😜
Another fantastic vid. I am really enjoying this series with the Transalp. Thanks
Really glad you’re enjoying it, thanks Matt!
Yeah same here and I've been so intrigued with the new ones since they were announced! I would love to rent one to try this upcoming riding season! Thanks for this excellent series Freddie & Monika!
@@FreddieDobbs This is the comment you reply to? Good, but you do realize the coffee shop owners left you a comment that you didn't reply to!
Thanks Freddie, guys like you give us respectful and friendly bikers a much needed good name!
Much respect :)
Fantastic the way you promote businesses Freddie .Top man
Your choice of music for this episode is impeccable! I swear if you'd just posted a 2 hour non stop video with this quality views and background music, I'd watch it on repeat. Thank you and Monica for the quality product 🙏
What a light on the horizon this young man is, every ride is probably simply the best you could experience. The little places to stay are undoubtedly as splendid as you would ever find for yoür buck and of course, his trade mark in his own words, the next coffee is without a shadow of a doubt going to be the best ever.
Plus the bikes...... why isn't the rest of the world like this.... best of luck, fine young man.
I live right on the Yorkshire Dales doorstep and other than Scotland it’s my favourite place to ride. What makes it even better is you don’t have to pay to visit, no congestion charges, no ULEZ, just fresh air. 😂
Steady, don’t give the Authorities ideas😂
@@mabsbry1318 Yeah I never thought of that. If Mr Sunak watches Freddie Dobbs and reads the comments we’ll soon find out. 😂
Spectacular! The cinematography, the music, the dialogue, the editing....wonderful Freddie!
Absolutely agree!
A route map would be a great addition to the description for this video. Looks like you've found some awesome trails 👌🏻
I've been thirsting for some motorcycle content that inspires me to get out there and ride. And here it is!
Have you ever thought Freddie about the countless miles of dry stone walls? Personally they fascinate me when you think about the history of them, locally quarried stone then transported by horse and cart back in the day and then all built by hand, must have taken years, an everlasting job. Ride safe.
And maintained by volunteers I believe.
Building those must have been a sure employment back then, or what? Curious to know more about them now.
What a lovely bunch at CoffeECO ! Bet the son filmed you riding off. Top quality viewing once again. 👌
Old Freddie, hes got a swagger that suggests enormous confidence but, talks about himself and his skills in an almost disparaging way. Thats a nice bit of honesty for sure.
Lovely videos and doesn’t hesitate to treat people and property with utmost respect. Thanks old man 🖖🏼
Freddie's recommendation to pop into CoffeeEco when in the area, prompted us to stop there today. Wonderful warm and welcoming couple, and they spoke very highly of Freddie. Thanks for a lovely cuppa and homemade cakes!
Yer a very lucky fellow - beautiful lands, someone else's bike, good health & a job. Thank you for sharing a few moments of what we all once had....
What i really love about this channel is its about motorcycles, history, heritage and culture. You rock Freddie.🌟
Loved that shepherd with his collies on the quad .Brill vistas thankyou .
Just went to the U.K. for the first time a few months ago and I'm already planning my return trip. This video encapsulates everything I loved about being there. Well done, Freddy/Mon.
The couple and their son are so wholesome and sweet ❤ made my day thanks ❤
I must say that transalp is a food for thought bike 👍🏻
I would love to come over to your country and just wander around for 5 years or so. What wonderful scenery and lovely little villages.
Have you studied or tried the stand up technique? Makes a huge difference, center of gravity lowered to your foot pegs and front wheel traction is much improved. Lots of other benefits as well.
Turning into one of the best series yet on this channel and there have been some good ones! Top class as always from you Freddie
I had breakfast in my campervan in Richmond Square about 20 years ago. I sat & watched the town wake up.
Superb videos Freddie. I have a 1998 BMW F650 Funduro and I know that feeling…I think you are falling for the Transalp . What a fantastic machine.
Nice video and always good to see people enjoying my neck of the woods. Ive always said im so happy yo live in Yorkshire as a motorcyclist
Just waiting for some warmer weather to explore the Dales again on my RE classic 350, I'm only 25 mins form Richmond: The gateway to the NY Dales 😊
all that countryside...northern England...was thinking ancient history...the battles waged ...Vikings...Danes...all that history...that castle...love it....another excellent video....
Great scenery, great people, great bike, great video!
Best video yet Freddie
Real life riding !
Freddie,brilliant stuff, I binged watched all 3 episodes and loved it all
Thank your for taking us with ya!
Freddie!
What great stuff!!
Loved every minute of this latest segment….safe travels!
Coffeeco looks great 👍
Lovely trip Freddie. 🤙🏻
These beautiful Yorkshire villages like Grassington, Hawes, Reeth etc are completely different in the summer when they can get very busy indeed. It's a completely different place in mid summer still absolutely beautiful of course but can be overun with tourists not to mention police looking for bikers who often think these fabulous roads are their personal race track.
Fabulous tour! Thanks for taking us along. We cannot wait to get up there to see it in person.
Careful riding off-road Freddie, its very addictive ;-)
I live and work in Richmond, it's a great part of the country - I'm spoilt really.
Had one year without going to England/Wales with my Bonnie. Now I know where to go this summer, absolutely stunning, I love those country roads.
Thanks Freddie and Monica for another top notch video:
Always my stop at Grassington. Where they film all creatures great and small. I Live in Leeds so Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire Moors and Lake District and Paek District all in easy reach.
Ahh I didn’t know this📹
Loving the Dales trip. Very informative and fun. Nice one Freddie
A bike of this type suits you, Freddie! Its so versatile and comfy too that I am going down the adventure bike route, hopefully this year!
Freddie I'm not sure if you're aware but you suit that bike perfectly. Are you sure about your Bonnie !
I was stationed in Catterick garrison in 1987. Used stumble around a little drunk in Richmond 🤷♂️🤷♂️ my younger days 😂😂 I dated a girl from the midland bank in Richmond. Had so many great days in Richmond and the local pubs.
What a fantastic landscape, nice off road tracks! If you can only own one bike, which is the case for most married men, an adventure bike is the best choice. I don't know what I could not do with my Africa Twin.
The Transalp is the most suitable bike for you Freddie . Keep the Bonnie anyway. Forget the Enfields altogether .
Spent a few nights in the Castle pub , amongst others, as a young squaddie back in ‘84 based at Catterick Garrison only a couple of miles up the road!…massive Army training area…..it can get get a bit busy at the weekends!!….shame you didn’t get to visit the Altberg boots factory in the town..been making quality leather boots for motorcyclists, walkers and the armed forces/emergency services for decades!…the town hasn’t changed at all really in the last 40 years !…great video and great bike….an “all rounder “ is a massive food for thought for a Motorcycling UA-camr methinks! 😎👍👍
Yorkshire Dales TET is what I am planning on visit this year. Two things Freddie: when ridding on those gravel roads and off road in general its much easier to control the bike when standing on the foot pegs rather than sitting down and bouncing around. If you liked it and planning on doing some more the least you should do is get a pair or motocross boots. Don't ride dirt in road boots, its not worth to risk injury and legs are on the first line.
Love your enthusiasm
You are a great ambassador for the Transalp
Top work Freddie. Of all the videos I watch on UA-cam, yours are the only ones that trigger my telly to use HLG & HDR 👍
I love the look of that bike as well. Broad chest, tall, looks like a Great Dane!!!
I have ridden on these roads, mainly in the early '70s. Great to see my home area. Nick
You have cracked it Freddie, making a living from going on great adventures. Thanks for sharing , really enjoying this series. .
Brave man to push the Transalp to its limits off road for the first time.
Your filming is so professional،،you have an art vision, greetings from middle east.
Stunning Freddie. I'm taking notes for an upcoming UK trip..
Hey Freddie , loving this series of you on an adventure bike, I’ve watched it twice ! Have fun out there 👏🏻👍🏼
We stayed in The Old Brewery Guesthouse next to a green. It's just a little bit quieter down the road away from the centre. Absolutely lovely, great clean rooms and owner. Highly recommend the to anyone.
Remember to pop round the corner to visit that Alt-berg shop for summer new boots! 😉
Wow Freddie love it ❤
Thanks Freddie, another great vid. Weather holding out, makes all the difference! Keep em coming 😂
That’s a lovely Transalp 😍
What an enjoyable watch. Glad to see you stretched into other riding styles but brought your unique take along. Friday morning coffee and snow outside here in New England. Living through you.
That looks like absolute heaven and that white transalp just pops in front of that old coffee house. Freddie, I know you’re a cafe/scrambler guy but that transalp fits you so well. That’s the bike you should get and make your future content with.
Another great video Freddie. You've inspired me to take off next weekend and do a similar trip. Love how you've promoted independent traders all along the way, and your genuine enthusiasm and gratitude for the places you've stopped by at is contagious. Top man.
CoffeeEco is a regular stop for me when riding the Dales. Glad to see you making the most of it. Do come back in summer though, it's even more breathtaking.
The bewildered grandma outside the cafe had me laughin
I'm not a Yorkshireman, but you can't argue that the scenery is stunning.
Monica would have burnt her camera out.
Hi Freddie, enjoyed this episode immensely! Last year we landed in Harwich from the Hook of Holland and after having a “full English” in Colchester, we rode over the Cat and Fiddle in the Peak District and then onto Reeth in the Yorkshire Dales. The intention was to spend a night and then move on to Cairnryan to catch the ferry to Ireland. The Yorkshire Dales captured our hearts and it was four days later we left via Tan Hill. Sitting here typing this in 35 C heat in QLD planning our return to the Dales for two weeks this year. We spent a rainy day in Richmond so are looking forward to your next video!
Beautiful views! I learned on dirt but after 50+ years of mostly paved roads I have to remind myself of the one HUGE difference. When cornering on dirt, get the bike down and your body straight upright. For example in a left turn get the left arm straight down and the right elbow up! It’s amazing what a difference it makes. It goes against everything you have learned on the street but it is what the bike wants.
Loved this. Yorkshire is my favorite place in the world. I also highly recommend CoffeEco. I ate there almost every day on my last month-long trip to Grassington.
I visit this part of the country on my motorcycle a couple of times a year. It's biking heaven in good weather....not so great in winter.
I can 100% see how it’d be biking heaven in the summer- it really is incredible!
used to be on our weekend rides when we lived in Yorkshire...Grassington is lovely,Appletreewick too.great road.
Very nice, I like to find local coffee shops when I’m out for a ride. Yorkshire definitely worth a visit.
Just watched all three videos so far in the Dales. I am fortunate enough to have emigrated to the Dales from down south a few years ago, and I live with the sight of Ingleborough from the back of my house. I get to ride through the hills anytime I like. There is nowt like it. You travelled some great roads there, son 👍👍
Superb. Absolutely superb.
Yes Freddie! Subscription of the year (2023 that is!) ❤
Mega video Freddie, keep up the good work buddy. 👌📹
Brilliant vid and fantastic scenery captured with some great photography. Really enjoyable thank you👍
I love these videos.
wow, landscapes are super beautiful. Bravo and thanks
Did the Dales Cycleway on my Brompton last summer (while I living in the UK) and truly enjoyed it, although it was quite tough on a small bike with camping gear. It was on that trip that I actually decided to get my first motorbike after being passed by so many. Now got a Duke 125 and moved back to Portugal, next week going on a 1000km trip, looking forward to it. Small bike, but coming from a Brompton it will be plenty enough. Thanks for the video!
Once again an excellent video. Many thanks for posting. Stay safe, regards
I love Yorkshire, I've got to get there on my bike some day.
Looks lovely
Bravo from Ireland! I know where im going for this years spring mini motorcycle tour... Thanks.
Really enjoying this series
Excellent bit of off road action Freddie, the roads and the views in the area look spectacular as does the accommodation and little coffee shops. I love the old fashioned villages obviously a bit part of our British heritage. Can't wait for the next one, stay safe and enjoy the ride out.
E by Gum! Fab day, looked a tad chilly!
Nice road trip buddy enjoyed watching 💙💙
Yorkshire.It's no wonder it's classed as God's own county and that's coming from a Lancashire lad!
Great video revealing the beauty of the Dales,Thanks Freddie😊
Great video. Looks gorgeous up there. Try standing up a bit more off road for better control 😊👍
Another fantastic video 😊
What a cool little cafe! Upbeat friendly owner/operators, cosy interior and what appeared to be a good shot of wake up brew😜! Good spot Freddie. "The Grumpy Mens Club" 🤣, that is gold 👍
Another great adventure and the Transalp is coping with ease, seems like a great all rounder that's for sure.
I love that your videos are about the experience of motorcycle travel rather than droning on about brake horse power, electronic suspension and levels of grip! Im convinced for most riders its all about the environment, the surroundings and the sights. You show this in a brilliant way. Great series so far. I sent you the bike of the week you featured a few weeks ago - Aprilia Caponord. I rode that on those very roads last September. Best region in the country by a mile!!
