Some fantastic examples of lunacy towards the end of that video! Another very enjoyable video as always filled with stunning scenery,all the best Nige.
Hi Nige, that Muppet overtaking was a classic. Just after I signed off the road was blocked due to an accident. The van following me ignored the accident sign and cones, drove down the pavement l. Wish the camera had still been on. Ride safe mate, Dave
Thank you for this great video. I love to see the English countryside. I also have the very same Classic 350 as you do here in Thailand. It's the same black and maroon color. The only thing is I haven't named mine yet. I need to consider some good names. Thanks again and happy riding to you......Sal : )
I recognised a lot of the roads in this video from when I used to deliver cases of wine to pubs and hotels in the area. I was in that job from 2018 till lockdown in 2020 and covered places from the borders all the way down to Grimsby and Liverpool though not all in the same day I hasten to add.
Thanks for taking us with you on this journey. Enjoyed the views and scenery. Yep, always a few lunatics and Audi drivers, though not always mutually exclusive, out there to keep us on our toes. Be safe and enjoy your cuppa.
Nice ride out again. Mentioning the combination brought back some happy memories when I bought my A65 with a very large sidecar for going camping. I remember giving my sister a lift, all dressed up she was so she was in the sidecar. Keeping it short, obviously no brakes on the sidecar, now we have weight in the sidecar, oh dear, came to a junction braked, and the sidecar pulled the bike up onto a grass verge. Having struggled to get the bike back onto the road I offered to continue the journey and told her to get back in the sidecar, like hell she said I'll walk. Even more embarrassing, someone from work witnessed it all and I lived with that for months. Happy days, you must have some funny tails to tell on biking, perhaps some revisiting of those hilarious tails. Enjoyed the ride keep it going.
I remember doing an emergency stop when I first got my sidecar.... Bike did a U-turn. Scared the @#£&* out of the driver following me. Ride safe mate, Dave
Beautiful ride, Dave! Last time I saw Chatsworth was on a visit to the UK in 1991... Re the sidecar lifting, a mate of mine used to carry a bag of cement in his chair to minimise the effect.
Lovely ride again with beautiful views , I having my Classic 350 in 2 or 3 weeks and I’m not any good with electrics on the bike I’ve got various things I want to to do , led headlight , small spotlights, safe and warm heated clothing controller , st2 break Module and Flux light.
Lovely to see Chatsworth again after around 15 years, thanks Dave, Won't be long now until you become a man of leisure! Cheers, DINO, PANDA, and Da Boyz.
I would love to see some of the cafes you stop at just the fronts of them so if I am out and about on my Enfield I could have a look . As my hobby is checking out cafe's all over humberside plus Lincolnshire and up to North Yorkshire .
Thanks for the great ride out, as has been said, spoilt by drivers that do not know how to behave around a motorcyclist riding normally!! You need eyes in the back of your helmet!! Great day out, thank you. Must get out on 'Ruby' my classic 350. 👍 - Off to the Stafford Bike Show tomorrow, hope the field carpark isn't too boggy!! 😬
Nice ride out that Dave, shame there's always some idiot drivers and pedestrians trying to bugger the day up eh! . I love the ride through Chatsworth, and all those surrounding roads up there 🙌 Cheers Mel 🍻
Well there's always someone who has always traved around on four wheels, and mummy said to him or her, motorbikes are dangerous. 18:10. Excellent video its always a great joy to watch you on your bike.🏍
Cheers mate, he was a bit of a Muppet. I had been watching him in my mirror from coming off the roundabout. I was wondering when he would go for it. Drivers like that kept me in work when I was on ambulance 🚑😔 Ride safe, Dave
Nice ride Dave👍. Reminds me of the Brecon Beacons just up the road from me. Got to watch out for the sheep and wild horses on the roads with us. Not as bad as some pedestrians and some car drivers though😂
Another super ride Dave, 2 years ago, the good people at Manhatten Motorcycles were kind enough to bring a Meteor for me to test ride up to the the pub on that huge roundabout up from Baslow. I rode it down to Baslow and back up, and bearing in mind I'd not been on a bike for over 20 years, those tight bends up at the top were a little scary! Anyway, decided against the Meteor ( and returning to motorcycling ) 'til that is, they announced the Classic 350, and the rest is History! Two years on those bends are nowhere near as scary! Take care, ride safe...best regards....Pete
Hi Pete, I really enjoyed that ride, seeing the Deer 🦌 was a bonus. The 350 makes you want to get out and just ride. Fingers crossed I can get out tomorrow. Ride safe mate, Dave
Beautiful ride round the countryside great video weather was on your side that day that looks a lovely ride especially through chats worth house and be able to see the dear talking about clobber what make of gloves are they and where did you get them from proper gauntlets ride safe
enjoyed that thanks, i'd be interested in seeing the sidecar. as a suggestion you asked for, why not review the places you stop for refreshment, you might get a free cuppa.
Hello from California! Absolutely love watching your videos… inspired me to pick up my own Classic 350 chrome red. I was wondering if “Betsy” is entirely stock, or have you made some modifications?
Great video, I was out and about in all the Welsh lanes in Pembrokeshire today where I live. Hope you don't mind me asking but what camera and mic are you using, I am impressed with the quality especially the sound. Many Thanks 👍
I hear Madam Satnav talking to you, but I believe she's in your pocket? Ancient Technophobe here who doesn't want a SatNav on the bike's handlebars, so is your method the best option for getting directions without gazing at a Satnav screen?
Hi, I have to confess I've moved over to the dark side and ordered a phone holder for the handlebars. Having it in my pocket works to a point but seeing the directions especially when in towns with roads close together is better. I've resisted upto now so it didn't spoil the look, I think the 21st century is calling me though. Ride safe, Dave
Betsy did it again! Funny how these little bikes will take you places the larger ones pass up. Keep 'em coming! Thank you

Hi Graham, service kit on its way for the sidecar. Then she will be ready to film.

In the past you did some riding tips, can always have more of that😊
Another cracking ride, looking forward to seeing the outfit back on the road again always a giggle 🤭 all the best buddy 👍

While riding views are great, it would be nice to see inside some of those quaint pubs and cafes . 🙂 Cheers
I look forward to your Friday videos, a highlight of my week. Thanks for the pillion ride and keep it up mate.
Glad to have you on pillion. I will keep them coming, just need better weather then I can leave waterproofs at home.
Ride safe, Dave
My types of lanes once again
Terrific ride, Dave.
