If I wanted to hear this rot, I would have purchased a novel

Hi Dave, I live in Pennsylvania, USA, so I didn't experience the UK spring, but I'm guessing that "hottest" is not the correct word for the weather. If it rained frequently, then there must have been plenty of cloud cover, which raises the average temperature vs. a spring when there is little cloud cover and the temperature drops sharply overnight. And perhaps the slightly warmer than average temperatures contributed to the continuing clouds and precipitation. I can easily imagine the Powers That Be exploiting the average temperature to advance an agenda, but it may well have been true that it was the warmest (not hottest) spring on record. I only advocate critical thinking rather than a political stance (such stances seem to be ruining the globe), and I offer this as a possible explanation of why the empirical data may be correct, even if it was presented in a political way. Also, you gotta put that Guzzi away; just a couple more videos and I'm going to have to buy one. Do it for me, and my bank account, and my marriage, Dave! Thank you for the video!

Nice one Dave just goes to show how you don't need words less is more sometimes 🇬🇧

Nice video

Its a nice route that one! Done it myself a few times in last couple of years. Incidentally, when you said "further edification" you reminded me of the late Brian Glover in his role in Alien 3, uncanny voice match 👍. Looking forward to the next video.

Ever think of doing moto camping Dave?

Big sky country

Beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing. Might I suggest a separate audio recorder in a place near the exhaust, where it doesn't pick up wind noise? Personally I've fitted some kind of muffler to the gopro, but it's not perfect. Greetings from the Gäuboden!

Good job team

Poe is in my tree according to my great great grandmother, i enjoyed your ramblings.)

I'm going up to the mountains to ride some Guzzis in July, can't wait!

Thanks for the reply. 👍

Dave's hunt for them missing neutrals continues through the glorious north yorkshire countryside. 😉

I have been riding since 1990 and have never owned a car. After 2 really difficult years, with a marriage breakdown and then family illness and bereavement I am now finding my way back. I haven't ridden for the joy of riding, for some time. I sold my Shadow 1100 and bought a Scram 411 to commute on. Now I am just waiting for the sale of a house to go through and then I will have funds for a second bike. I haven't been to Yorkshire or Cumbria, both places that I love, for so many years. I feel that a trip on the new bike will be comfort for my soul. Great upload!

Must be real nice riding up there

More wonderful scenery and roads to take you through it. The road from Hawes to Buckden is one of my favourites, dropping down from the open landscape at Fleet Moss into the confines of Langstrothdale and following the River Wharfe to Buckden is a very special riding experience. Thanks Dave.

Following my heart attack in May and a stent procedure I've not had my GoldStar out yet this year but watching your videos of roads and places I've been to, so often, really cheers me up. It's the drugs they put you on that make you feel different and until I get used to them my GoldStar stays in the garage I'm afraid.

Somewhere in your aerodynamic configuration is something that whistles at 43 mph and above. Surprised you didn’t spot it in the edit.

Pure heaven Dave . Now that’s what it’s all about . Thanks Dean

Morning Dave, beautiful ride,.. out of interest, do you get many vibes through the handlebars on the V7? Regards Dave

When the wife and I visited the uk may 2023 we hired the smallest car we could find a fiat 500 on those county side high hedges you have be careful.stumble across a county pub pint and packet of walkers crisp lovely. We had our biker gear but hiring two bikes was a bit costly the exchange rate to Australia dollar not good.we did manage 5 days on bikes in grand canaria in the mountains which was fun. Need to try a Moto Guzzi

Hi Dave, good morning from Norfolk. What a wonderful ride, breathtaking. I had to re-wind to make out where we lost your sidekick on the Triumph, i think it was just after Appersett (video 5.13) is that correct? Towards the end of the ride you were, it appeared, to be hitting some rough roads! How is the Guzzi on roads like that from a comfort standpoint. Always great to watch your videos, thank you for posting. Be safe. Regards, Roy.

Great videos. I am about to look at a Honda NT700V in order to get back into it. My last bike was a Honda Blackbird but I am 67 years old now. . Having not had a bike for a couple of years I will be Taking it Easy to begin with for sure. Thanks for uploading.

At 99 quid it looks more in the price range of a Lycra-clad cyclist than a real biker, but I like the ball inflater it should slip down your Japs-eye snugly :-)

Guzzi love 🥰

👏😌 Excellent Dave. Regards, Mo 😊👍

Impressive kit. I couldn’t justify the expense and will continue to use the small bicycle pumps which cost about £15. I have unfortunately/fortunately, depending on your view, had to use this three times. Yes, it takes a while to pump up a rear 130 tyre, but… Wouldn’t mind the Cycplus if it were a Christmas present 😊

Bloomin' lovely 😁

Rolling hills and Green fields, Dry stone walls and sheep peacefully grazing. Two motorcycles, cruising the idilic English countryside. For we older bikers it doesn't get much better than that does it Dave. The Guzzi has a lovely relaxed sonorous engine beat doesn't it. The thing l miss riding here in Spain is the lack of places to stop and stare....lay-bys/view points are thin on the ground. ..at least in the Valencia/Murcia region where l do most of my ''Go for a Ride'' ...On the plus side our roads are far superior making for a less 'jarring' ride. A couple of weeks back l said that the neck camera mount was a great alternative to a helmet chin mount. But it appears less easy to maintain a level horizon. Its not until you view the footage when it becomes apparent.. However, that point aside l enjoy my early morning rides across the Yorkshire Moors... Your fortunate to have such a beautiful area to ''Go for a Ride'' on your doorstep...

I find the instrument cluster on that bike quite fascinating, it's the little indicator wings... it's such a simple thing, but just adds a certain... Non so cosa. I was going to say, je ne sais quoi... but it's an Italian bike. 🕊

Top quality video well done.

Sorry mate, that's made up my mind. I'm coming to Yorkshire. It's actually closer to me than the Scottish Highlands and is every bit as, and perhaps more beautiful.

I currently have analysis paralysis between buying a Moto Guzzi V7 Special and a Triumph Speed Twin 900

Pleased to hear your V7 has the same rattles, whines, clunks and ticking as mine! If it was a Honda I'd be worried 😅 As always, love the rideouts! Thanks PS we were in Canadian Rockies last week 😊. Will be in Yorkshire in September visiting mum.... but no bike 😢

Such a beautiful bike,the only thing i wish it had the double gauges like the classic model, I think your pooch is hanging out for walkies😊

Hi Dave. Sorry if this is the wrong video. Can you let me know the sizes of the MC24 tryres you had fitted to the Norman the Classic 350. I'm trying to source some for fitting. Great update video.

Great scenery and a bit of nostalgia, thanks Dave. I remember walking a five mile round trip to make phone calls, a long time ago. Single track roads are usually devoid of road furniture, nature is just inches away and the modern world is left behind, riding along them almost feels like flying as I used to in dreams when I was young. Of course there's sometimes a fool in a hurry to shatter the illusion.

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Your guardian angel has certainly been busy for many years! Thanks for putting this together and posting it for us.

Hello Dave, congratulations on the 10,000 subs, a great achievement & well earned… I got my MC licence in 1970 whist working as a postman back then for the PMG Department in western NSW in Oz, been riding ever since & now retired enjoying my 3 motorcycles (RE 500 cast iron Bullet Classic, RE 650 Interceptor & Yamaha XJ900s Diversion).. love your content ..cheers Phil from Oz 🇦🇺

Your dead right, I think global warming. Its a total load of crap. Makes you think, why would anybody want to come to England 😂😂😂

Doesn't look like it has a replaceable battery. If you get one use it all the time to get your money out of it, once it's dead, it's dead. Might not be too hard to replace if you are familiar with spot-welding lithium-ion batteries but that's a minority of users. That said; if you need a pump often, this looks like nice.

Yes, there's some glorious countryside in that neck of the woods, Dave. Pre-decimal currency; I'm old enough to remember the farthing... Back in the early '60's petrol cost around 5 shillings (five bob = 25 p, or around 5.5p/litre) a gallon; that sounds very cheap today, but in 1962 my RAF in-the-hand pay was just one pound a week.

Hi Dave, What is the price difference between the Husky and the CF Moto with the same engine (detuned, I understand)? Thank you for the video!

Very nice. Don't need an overdrive gear for that sort of riding. Perfect for the Austin-Healey Sprite I once owned too.

My MG Stone Special Edition now has 1700 miles on it since it (finally) arrived, mid April. Yes, it's engagingly unrefined below 65mph, but it goes silky smooth at motorway speeds and above (allegedly!). I fitted a Dart flyscreen to reduce the wind blast which definitely helped and it adds to the looks of the bike.

It’s definitely a 👍👍👍

I've had mine 13 months and 5,000 miles, almost none over 55mph. Highly enjoyable

The Moto Guzzi V 7 is the only new motorcycle that I would consider buying today. The only thing I don't like is the EFI. Motorcycles make almost no pollution.l hate paying for pollution controls.

Hi Dave, I wonder if your mates T100 suffers from “Tramlining” on those rutted and uneven roads as mine does ?

Watched this with the All Crearures Great and Small theme tune playing in my head. Beautiful
