Stu , don’t even begin to apologise about pic quality , what a bunch of intolerant folk , your vids are great quality in every sense , just keep doing what you do fella .
Not only are you an expert on motorcycles/motorcycling but also on photography. Thank you for the nice glimpses of your beautiful country. Safe rides to you sir.
Brilliant vid and sod the critics, let them do their own. Also thanks for the suspension updates - appreciated as have just ordered the full set for the forks!
Loved your courtesy towards the horse riders. I love to ride around rural Amish agricultural areas where only horsepower is still utilized to farm. I handle the passing as you demonstrated in this video and almost always get a smile and a wave.
As always, a great video and beautiful ride. I really appreciate your consideration for the horses and their riders, as so many others have little regard for how easily a horse can be startled.
I'm fairly new to your channel Stuart and while interesting, well thought out and informative by far away the stand out aspect of you work for me is the quality of the 4k video. It is exceptional in terms of UA-cam and as good as the best broadcast video. I can only be suspicious of the motivation of any criticism.
Love Yorkshire, what a cracking trip. Only just under 1.5kmls on mine but really content with it plenty of everything to keep a 60odd yo rider happy. Accelerates up to 80+ pretty quickly and corners well too, so not boring for "enthusiastic" riders. Have just watched a UA-cam vid of a 650 being hustled round Cadwell, not my scene really but the bike acquitted itself well, pulled 100+ and didn't sound stressed. These are great bikes and your video shows them in their best habitat, they really feel like a properly sorted modern 60s classic and your tips have been very valuable.
Hoping you had a restful holiday. Not sure what negative comments you have had to deal with about your camera work, but you always offer interesting informative films. Even your rides offer information on where to visit when we are in the area next year. As for your position of the sat nav people will have to deal with it! Thanks Stu and I look forward to seeing your next film.
Morning Stu, really enjoyed watching this today. One of the reasons being that I toured the Yorkshire Dales yesterday with my friends on my 2020 Triumph Bonneville T100. I travelled up from the Midlands and covered circa 380 miles in the day. We stopped for breakfast in Settle and then rode across to the Ribblehead Viaduct. We then rode further in and did the Buttertubs Pass and enjoyed the views up there. We stopped for some tea and coffee in Wensleydale before we rode south across the Moors. Epic scenery and roads, so glad I ticked it off the list and what a pleasant surprise you upload a couple of videos about the Dales :). Bonneville did me proud and plenty of low down torque to get me up those hilly areas, no issues whatsoever. Had a brilliant day and thanks for doing this video. All the best Stu!
After a tough days work it's always a pleasure to listen to your stories in your relaxed monotone way👍Also hoping to do some longer trips on my interceptor but fortunately have the cotswolds nearby so cant complain. BTW...just fitted some reverse cone silencers from classicbikeshop Sound awesome. Just awaiting a booster plug before properly testing. At 500 mile I am still satisfied with the stock suspension. Looking forward to your next clip. You too ride safe mate.
No complaints from me uncle Stu, I had no idea how much is involved, I love watching your work, always fabulous and very entertaintaining, thanks for your efforts
I love the way your narrative style and capturing image spot on. And u inspired me to buy "Interceptor" and many in India. Lots of good love & luck you Stuart!!
Great views, you made me feel like I'm there. I can't wait to one day be able to tour around on a motorcycle in your neck of the woods. I'll have to watch this again later on my TV.
My 650 did 250 miles today and climbed Mt Washington (6288feet). Plenty comfy, handled it all well. Like you said, it’s not a huge iron butt ride, but it was perfect autumn day to tour around New Hampshire. Small tour, but my tour.
great job Stu... there will always be complainers who find fault ... those that usually complain or find fault ..usually don't do anything themselves except that.. keep up the good work to help our motorcycle community with your experience...
I've been immersing myself in the studying of photography and filmography since the beginning of lockdown and have learnt a thing or two.Mainly because it keeps me busy with a interest i find challenging. I have also followed your channel since the early days and can say with confidence your filmography is excellent. I watch a number of the top ranked film specialist You Tube channels and can see the hard work you put into the production. Keep up the great work.
Very good Stuart thank you. What a great bike that RE Enfield interceptor is. Your reminiscing about caravan holidays reminded me of ours in Kent, when I’d go off exploring by foot or by bicycle. One day i did a 40 mile return journey from Whitstable to Margate (to visit Dreamland to spend my half-a-crown ) on a 16” wheel hand me down girls bike. My parents wondered where i was and didn’t believe where I’d been when i got back. All very safe in those days. I always had a love of 2 wheels, partly because our dad had a bicycle shop.
Based on these vids my wife and I purchased an Interceptor each with a view to taking on the NC500 which got cancelled twice over via car but lead to the epiphany of ‘do it on a bike instead’. Our greatest concern is the likelihood of puncture, and practicality of fixing it in a remote roadside situation. Not sure if you’d ever consider the prospect of a vid on tyre removal just for the sake of it - but may be of use for many? Thanks for this amazing channel!
Nice ride ! Never mind the suspension , the original seat would have been uncomfortable on a day like that ! I found my rump ached just returning from Scarborough on my new bike ! like you I swapped it out straight away ,and for aesthetics too ...I find the touring seat very comfortable and have ridden nearly a full tank out in one go without problem ! 👍 Still waiting for you to get those indicators fitted though before I take the plunge !
One of the most cinematic videos I have seen in this week. Definitely the channel is for people like me and many others who believe in simplicity, quality and biking culture. Thank you Stuart for this wonderful episode. Looking forward for Castle video ❤️👍😊 Admiration and Respect from 🇮🇳
Enjoying watching from Melbourne Australia where we have been total COVID 19 lockdown with an 8pm Curfew, enforced by the Army patrolling the streets. Only one person from each household is allowed to leave the house for food shopping within a 3 mile radius. While you can find criticism of your video presentations I find at the age of 82 that your personal style has my mind's eye riding pillion. A great joy for me. Phil.
Hey Philip. Your lockdown conditions sound dreadful. I have two hopes. Firstly that things ease for you as soon as possible and secondly that those of us who have the freedom we used to take for granted appreciate what we have. Good luck to you sir.
@Rochmel. Thank you for your kind thoughts. When only one person from each household is allowed to leave the house for food, it makes for a stressful time. So kind thoughts from strangers is certainly appreciated. Phil.
Three things: 1) Anyone who doesn't like your camera work can go and have a nice day. It's obvious you put effort into it and are always looking for ways to do better. 2) Was glad you turned off the motor for the horses. Thought about it on the first ones you passed. Thank you for caring! 3) Stung by a wasp and still riding. I tip my hat to you, sir.
I can't help but feel the special poetic editing mixed with narration you have given here. Something along the lines of -" No matter what the weather , the view is fantastic" , you cut to a shot of the bike during this time line of narration ... Then u talk about the most intact castles and show the interceptor at the same time .. as if you are trying to say the bike is rigid and strong no matter what the conditions . Tell me you intended this or am I just misinterpreting it ? I am new to ur channel so I am not familiar with your style of presentation yet. But I can tell you from the few videos I have gone through, its amazing !
Absolutely epic, thanks for sharing this. Truly, A Grand Day Out. Once again, more smiles per hour than you can shake a stick at, brilliant. Can't wait for the next part.
Great video, entertaining and with beautiful views. However, would you consider moving your on-bike camera just a tad higher? A large chunk of view is blocked by your GPS. Thank you from Oregon! Liked and Subbed!
Wow. one of your best Videos to date, such beautiful countryside. So different to the many "workshop" and "how to" vids I have become to treasure your channel for. It becomes apparent during the course of this Video that it's making was a joy to do. Thanks and greets from Switzerland, Steve.
Really glad to see such a slew of other comments in support of the quality of your videos and the care you take to make them. The last one - about enamel lettering on the engine cases etc. was a case in point: I don’t have an Enfield; neither of my bikes has such ‘name indentations’ on them and I don’t aim to enamel anything at the moment - but was still happy to see the video because I know I’ll get pin sharp clear photography & editing, and useful peripheral information i.e. the metal polish you recommended. Plus it’s always good to see and learn from an experienced artisan doing a job well. Enjoyed this video too, Stuart - I immediately related to the wasp episode.... had the same thing years ago - little basstud got down me shirt and stung me four times before I could stop. Keep up the good work : easy to say ignore the knockers - you can have a hundred good reviews but the ones that stick in the craw are the very few negative ones. Just be reassured that the overwhelming majority of us out here genuinely appreciate your vids and are damn glad they’re there.
Hi Stuart, Thanks for the video! Personally your photography is excellent and I particularly enjoyed the introduction. I'm an older, returning biker who's bike shortlist includes the Interceptor 650. My friends have more modern tourers like the BMW F750 GS and what stops me from getting an Interceptor is that I don't think I could maintain a good cruising speed t. You mentioned what a great "high speed" motorway tourer the bike is. I didn't expect that! I wouldn't have thought much above 65 mph would be comfortable for any reasonable length of time. Does that short RE flyscreen help much and have you made any other changes to help?
I do have a major criticism of your channel - I now have considerably less cash in the bank compared with the time before I watched it. I have just purchased a low mileage Bonneville and most of the bits’n’bobs and lotions and potions you have been demonstrating. Not content with that, you are now showing me great places to ride. The North Yorkshire moors are just over an hour south of where we live. I have always enjoyed your videos because of their quality. But I never knew what went on beforehand. So without you explaining frame rates, neutral density filters and suchlike I would never have known how important these things still are. I now realise that you consider them before shooting anything. Being a person who now assumes everything is point and shoot I’m now wiser. Thanks for your videos.
This is my favourite kind of riding these days. The loose scattered gravel re-surfacing that's used around these parts is a real pain though. Great video again, the drone shots are fantastic, thanks👍
A wasp down the jacket? Yikes! I'm allergic to those type of stings. It's just for that reason I cover my throat with a bandana, and keep my jacket closed.
Ouch. Hope I am able to keep it under control when I have my own wasp/bee mishap ( (bee)n lucky thus far!). Really lovely footage btw (people are so picky these days...) I appreciate it even more for being so different from the places I usually ride... Thanks for sharing it. Cheers.
Beautiful scenery, although it’s nice to go abroad, it’s so easy to forget that we have such beautiful places in the uk. I’ve travelled a lot but regrettably not at home something I need to put right.
Really nice video Stuart. Isn’t Yorkshire wonderful! Great to see you setting a very thoughtful example of how to respond to horse riders. As for the position of your satnav, that’s entirely up to you mate! Wasp in your jacket? Ouch!😆
Great video fantastic scenery I was round the North Yorkshire moors around farndale and Rosedale the other week stunning scenery there. Ps think video quality is fantastic
Hi Stuart, been watching your videos. Truely top notch! I would like to ask for your suggestion if ever i want to change the handle bars for a wider and more natural shoulder stance for cruising/touring.
Great video! It really makes me want to get out on my Int650! *Baker Express ;) Your part of the world is truly special and I can't wait to see the Castle! For video quality, I've always enjoyed them on HD and never had an issue there. I think the happy medium setting is perfect.
Great video uncle Stu. I have to say that you are right, the Interceptor does great in terms of touring and climbing. Also, those are some beautiful landscapes and landmarks. I ride constantly to the mountains near to my hometown in Ecuador; which have steeper roads and you can be able to reach more than a thousand meters above the sea. I am glad that the Interceptor has performed just perfect. My only complaint would be that you have to know in which gear you are on while climbing on the roads. I hope to find a gear indicator soon. I have also had my share of long trips and the bike has not given me any problems, but I do think that the suspension could be improved. I bought it a year ago and still in love with it, which I plan to keep for many years to come. ¡Good job Royal Enfield!
@Carlos Cucalon Fadul. As an eighty plus veteran, who started traveling long distances, on a 500cc Single Jampot Matchless, in Australia in the 1950s, I politely suggest that you don't need a gear indicator, what you possibly need to do, is to ride your bike more frequently. Riding a motorcycle is the same as riding a horse. You have to take a Zen approach and become as one with the bike. With more road miles under your belt, you will always know by the feel of the engine, what gear you are in, and more relevant, when you should change a gear. You are not the problem. We've all been there. Just relax and enjoy the ride, but don't be afraid to rev it hard, when you need more performance. It won't break. Phil.
@@phillipmoodie9071 Thank you for your kind advice, Phil. I'm proud to say I have put quite a few miles on my bike, but sometimes find myself wondering whether I'm on fifth or sixth gear. Going through the mountains gets a bit harder. I do think that riding more frequently, will allow me to know the bike deeply and just enjoy the journey.
I moved to San Francisco a couple of years ago and your videos are making me miss the English countryside, a great video to watch with my morning coffee, thanks Stu!
Really enjoyed the entire video, but the beginning with the sights, the bird sounds, then the sheep baaing, the sound of the wind blowing, just great. Buck
Love your vids Stuart. I'm up for a new/second bike next year and it'll either be an Interceptor (then mods) or a nearly new T100. I've learnt a lot from your honest commentary. Ta.
American werewolf in London! Scared the crap outa me as a kid! I've had that wasp experience more than once I usually emergency break and run around screaming while pulling my clothes off. Much to the amusement of onlookers. Great video sir
I was a news videographer for thirty years and I agree completely with your eschewing of auto exposure. I also agree that ND 32 would've been a better call, but "it is what it is." Thank you, too, for shutting down the moto when you encountered the horses. You give motorcyclists a good name in so doing. Very considerate of you. The intro video on this one was well done! Great audio editing and beautiful pictures! As always, thanks. I learned a lot about my motorcycle... again.
I've just discovered your channel and I'm a big fan, especially of your maintenance videos! I've had my Interceptor 650 (in Orange Crush, exact same as yours) and I adore it. Of course it has its own quirks, but what bike doesn't. 2 years ago I did a 6,000km tour through the Canadian Rockies and throught the Pacific Northwest with my buddy and my bike never once skipped a beat. It has been an absolute treat
I used to love riding motorcycles up to Hawes then through the lakes all be it a 500 mile journey. I still go to Hawes with my touring caravan and spend the days fly fishing on the river ure. Great video Stuart keep up the great work.
Yes them donkeys out of Middleham are everywhere, but the cyclists (AMIL's) are the worst. I only went over that road last week for the first time due to the Middleham to Kettlewell was shut, excellent. One off my bucket list, as I am trying to riding all the Dales roads. Living the dream. Looking forward to the next vid at Bolton castle, very near there along East Lane there is small bridge which crosses a Apedale Beck with a fine example of the force of nature where the heavy rain earlier on in the year has sent bolders down and felled trees. Keep up the good work. Glen of York
I took delivery of my RE Interceptor 650 4 months ago, following me passing my full bike licence. It's my first bike, and I adore it. I store it in a motorcycle tent in my garden, plenty of locks and security. The longest ride to date was from my home in Chester to Sheffield to visit my brother and his boyfriend. I went over snakes pass, and it was a joy. Can't rate this bike highly enough !
Another brilliant video Stuart, keep them coming. I watched all your how to videos before I bought my continental 650. Love your commentary, it compliments the videos and is quite informative. Can't see anything wrong with your camera work buddy, it's always on point in my opinion. Keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing the UA-cam notifications telling me my next fix is available.
Stu , don’t even begin to apologise about pic quality , what a bunch of intolerant folk , your vids are great quality in every sense , just keep doing what you do fella .
Loved it when you stopped and even switched off your engine to let the scared horses pass.👍
Not only are you an expert on motorcycles/motorcycling but also on photography.
Thank you for the nice glimpses of your beautiful country. Safe rides to you sir.
What a beautiful landscapes. I love all your's videos. Greeting from Patagonia ARgentina
Great video and ride! You helped me decide to get an Interceptor and I love it. Thanks!
Really enjoy your vlogs and musings Stuart. Your vlogs are a very high standard so just keep doing what you do 👏👏👏
WoW! This is an inspirational Video Uncle Stu, Thank you so much for sharing!
thanks a lot Stuart for sharing this. as usual your comments depict exactly what you experience.
You are simply Great! Thank’s from Italy...
Brilliant vid and sod the critics, let them do their own. Also thanks for the suspension updates - appreciated as have just ordered the full set for the forks!
Wow.... such breath taking views, and a wonderful machine! Enjoyed it, thank you.
Loved your courtesy towards the horse riders. I love to ride around rural Amish agricultural areas where only horsepower is still utilized to farm. I handle the passing as you demonstrated in this video and almost always get a smile and a wave.
Excellent viewing and commentary as ever Stu - Many thanks 👍🏼
Thank you, really enjoyed this video
I have been admiring your camera work for a while 😀
Top notch pro work all the way mate 👍

Great video uncle Stu. I have to say that you are right, the Interceptor does great in terms of touring and climbing. Also, those are some beautiful landscapes and landmarks.
I ride constantly to the mountains near to my hometown in Ecuador; which have steeper roads and you can be able to reach more than a thousand meters above the sea. I am glad that the Interceptor has performed just perfect. My only complaint would be that you have to know in which gear you are on while climbing on the roads. I hope to find a gear indicator soon.
I have also had my share of long trips and the bike has not given me any problems, but I do think that the suspension could be improved. I bought it a year ago and still in love with it, which I plan to keep for many years to come. ¡Good job Royal Enfield!
@Carlos Cucalon Fadul. As an eighty plus veteran, who started traveling long distances, on a 500cc Single Jampot Matchless, in Australia in the 1950s, I politely suggest that you don't need a gear indicator, what you possibly need to do, is to ride your bike more frequently.
Riding a motorcycle is the same as riding a horse. You have to take a Zen approach and become as one with the bike. With more road miles under your belt, you will always know by the feel of the engine, what gear you are in, and more relevant, when you should change a gear. You are not the problem. We've all been there. Just relax and enjoy the ride, but don't be afraid to rev it hard, when you need more performance. It won't break. Phil.
@@phillipmoodie9071 Thank you for your kind advice, Phil. I'm proud to say I have put quite a few miles on my bike, but sometimes find myself wondering whether I'm on fifth or sixth gear. Going through the mountains gets a bit harder. I do think that riding more frequently, will allow me to know the bike deeply and just enjoy the journey.
No complaints on your camera work. In fact that intro was fantastic.
Informative as ever... let down by the camera work...
Joking.
I moved to San Francisco a couple of years ago and your videos are making me miss the English countryside, a great video to watch with my morning coffee, thanks Stu!
Ignore the critics Stuart, I doubt they could do any better. And if they think they can perhaps they should post a video to prove it.
Thank you very much, the story and subject matter kept me riveted to my chair. Deep gratitude, class. Thank you. Regards Gareth Wiltshire. Quality.
Nice vid stu xden
Great vid Stu, would love to do the same route on my Inty. Can you tell me the nearest village/town, Cheers
Yorkshire....... nuff said. Great vid Stuart.
Nice video and Drone work.
My goodness. You're up early for a semi retired gent! Will watch with bated breath later. Off to work now👍😎
Up early! i slept in this morning!
Really enjoyed the entire video, but the beginning with the sights, the bird sounds, then the sheep baaing, the sound of the wind blowing, just great. Buck
You helped me a lot to pick my Interceptor.
I got the same one as you.
Love from India...
Hello Stuart, fantastic video. From which manufacturer is the lovely bag on your seat, or where can i buy it???
For the viewer, UA-cam is basically free. "Don't look a free gift in the mouth ", as the old saying goes. (horse reference).
Great and interesting video Stuart, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next one, I bet that castle is worth a visit.
Love your vids Stuart. I'm up for a new/second bike next year and it'll either be an Interceptor (then mods) or a nearly new T100. I've learnt a lot from your honest commentary. Ta.
Best thing about your videos:
1. The way you explain things
2. Lovely views
Thanks and keep doing great work.
Thank you, Stuart.
One of your best. 😊
The place reminds of the moor from the hound of the baskerville, sherlock holmes jeremy brett. Beautiful !
Another lovely video and trip. Thank you for explaining some of the decisions that were required to make good videos. Aren’t drones amazing?
American werewolf in London! Scared the crap outa me as a kid! I've had that wasp experience more than once I usually emergency break and run around screaming while pulling my clothes off. Much to the amusement of onlookers. Great video sir
I was a news videographer for thirty years and I agree completely with your eschewing of auto exposure. I also agree that ND 32 would've been a better call, but "it is what it is." Thank you, too, for shutting down the moto when you encountered the horses. You give motorcyclists a good name in so doing. Very considerate of you. The intro video on this one was well done! Great audio editing and beautiful pictures! As always, thanks. I learned a lot about my motorcycle... again.
As always , a fine ride , and adventure , thank you for sharing , cannot wait to see that awesome castle .
I've just discovered your channel and I'm a big fan, especially of your maintenance videos!
I've had my Interceptor 650 (in Orange Crush, exact same as yours) and I adore it. Of course it has its own quirks, but what bike doesn't.
2 years ago I did a 6,000km tour through the Canadian Rockies and throught the Pacific Northwest with my buddy and my bike never once skipped a beat. It has been an absolute treat
I used to love riding motorcycles up to Hawes then through the lakes all be it a 500 mile journey. I still go to Hawes with my touring caravan and spend the days fly fishing on the river ure. Great video Stuart keep up the great work.
Yes them donkeys out of Middleham are everywhere, but the cyclists (AMIL's) are the worst. I only went over that road last week for the first time due to the Middleham to Kettlewell was shut, excellent.
One off my bucket list, as I am trying to riding all the Dales roads. Living the dream.
Looking forward to the next vid at Bolton castle, very near there along East Lane there is small bridge which crosses a Apedale Beck with a fine example of the force of nature where the heavy rain earlier on in the year has sent bolders down and felled trees.
Keep up the good work.

Thats the great thing about the dales. pick any road and you will be glad you did!
I took delivery of my RE Interceptor 650 4 months ago, following me passing my full bike licence. It's my first bike, and I adore it. I store it in a motorcycle tent in my garden, plenty of locks and security. The longest ride to date was from my home in Chester to Sheffield to visit my brother and his boyfriend. I went over snakes pass, and it was a joy. Can't rate this bike highly enough !
Lovely intro stu I love the country side up where you live and a good appraisal on your bike thanks tony
Another brilliant video Stuart, keep them coming. I watched all your how to videos before I bought my continental 650. Love your commentary, it compliments the videos and is quite informative. Can't see anything wrong with your camera work buddy, it's always on point in my opinion. Keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing the UA-cam notifications telling me my next fix is available.
