Short first gear ....definitely NOT a DBD 34....

I enjoy motorcycles and history. You are providing a valuable service sir!

Nice one. Off the beaten track lol. Also had to google it too such a nice place and yes be nice in the summer time.

Deffo the mic mini for me, 2 reasons, cost and the form factor inside the helmet.

Good to see someone out on their bike , I must venture there 🤟

Interesting route

Mystery solved Allan, I never even considered Cowdale/King Sterndale! Much easier on the Himalayan than it was on my old 955i Tiger. (piece of cake on the outfit!😊) Needless to say the terrace of cottages were built to house quarrymen and their families. Staden quarry being just behind the village - favourite climbing venue of mine 'back in the day '. Nice one again Allan, cheers.

Thank you for a really interesting ride, the views from that hill were amazing, the elevation must certainly have been great & to be doing it on two wheels in winter is definitely not a small challenge. Well done. Happy New Year to you, looking forward to more exciting two wheeled adventures in 2025. Take care out there. ❤️xx

Nice to see you still venturing out. I've spent a fair amount of time this year camping and travelling around the Peak District. I've found some challenging roads. I was also glad to be on two wheels, anyway, Safe Travel and Happy New Year. Best wishes, John

It was a nice ride,.....looking forward to next years vids.... 'Ull' east yorkshire. Happy new year.

Ey up Not a track I’ve ridden along, but always worth knowing a cut through when your out on the bike and the need arises. I think I’d rather be riding up it than down it Here’s a tip I use to block out the low winter sun, run 3 or 4 strips of electrical insulating tape across the top of your visor. It doesn’t cost anything and can be easily removed Cheers

I love finding places that still look like they've never changed..usually welll off the beaten track.👍

Happy Christmas Allan! Very interested in this one as I've just invested in a mic mini, and still learning regarding set-up. Speaking objectively, I think there's a tiny bit of echo with the mic 2, but almost imperceptible. Now then, this here secret road across here near Buxton??....most intriguing, I'm watching this space,!!

I've ridden and driven past the place a few times now, and always thought it looks a cut above to be honest. I'd better lower my standards and give it a go Allan! 😅 Have a great Christmas anyway, and I'll probably see you in the new year. Possibly even at The Duke on NYD. 🤞

All the best , Merry Christmas 🤟

Went to Cupola a couple of times by car with my wife but it was only when I popped in on a passing ride I realised how deep the gravel is, they even provide blocks for side stand. I decided against taking a group ride

Have a nice Christmas, keep riding, stay safe and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 'Ull' east yorkshire.

Another great video & one part of the Derbyshire area we have not yet visited., lovely to see. Thank you. ❤xx

Was out myself that day - lunch not far away at Flash Bar. Roads very quiet but confess I had the heated grips on! Showing your age with the opening nod to Noggin the Nog... 😊

Several were posting about bad flooding on 13 Bends at the weekend

Great video. Very high quality, good camera angles, good editing. Interesting listening to you as I always learn something, thankfully no music. Full marks

Enjoyed that very much, loving the FJR same colour is mine, cheers Alan 👍

I do like going to Eyam, though I've not been for a few years. Many thanks for the trip into the Churchyard to see the cross 👍

OMG, idiotic chap letting his dogs out like that. He'll be the sort that says his dogs don't need leads. I imagine that your heart was pounding like mad after that 2nd near miss.

Interesting so keep riding and making videos 👍🏍️

A really interesting video, thank you. We visited Eyam church about 2 years ago when on our usual holiday in Derbyshire and looked at the cross, I found it fascinating, but thank you so much for your local knowledge and input into its history! Take care out there. ❤️xx

I enjoyed this and will definitely have a ride out to have a look. Thanks for the video 😊

Very interesting I’ll have a ride up there and have a look at the Saxon Cross sometime soon 👍

Very nice drive.

We always have to ride like someone’s out to get us. Good to meet you on Wednesday

Omg..that could of been horrendous..

I had a moron white van man tailgate me up through Old Brampton all the way down through to the roundabout at Baslow , glad he headed right as i headed towards towards 13 bends. People aren't bothered about others anymore

Ride Safe 🤟

The brainless idiot with the dogs should not be allowed to keep them. What if that was a van coming down? Bloomin halfwit.

Which motorcycle was you on with your near misses...... 'Ull' east yorkshire.

I remember short leads. It was quite a while ago though. Nowadays it seems to be a case of let your dogs run free or on such a long lead so that the dog can be on one side of the road whilst the owner browses social media on their phone on the other. I nearly got caught by that one the other day in my car.

Wow that was close. Yes I had a day where every tom dick and Harry want to get me lol. Glad safe.

V nice, thanks😊

The only thing that is BSA about this bike is the "name", the rest is a cheap pile of cachu produced somewhere on the Indian Sub-Continent and being sold very cheaply, across the world, often ending up being bought by cheapskate sad wanabees trying to hop onto the nostalgia of a once great British marque. On top of all the jiggly hype they have even got the cheek to link it to a model that in it's day was one of the very best 350 & 500cc road bikes of the early sixties. The bike sounds more like a clapped out Singer sewing machine, nothing like the original "thumper" and unlike it's predecessor will loose it's value faster that it's top speed. As for its looks, beyond a joke, even the tank badge looks likes it was made in China and sold on AliExpress for a few rupee's........

As I always say, "I'm not lost. I'm geographically misplaced."

Nice ride. I do enjoy an exploratory trip down a random lane.

Lovely video! It’s great to go down some of these little roadways off the beaten track, very often get some nice surprises., plus it’s usually quieter too! Thanks for sharing. ❤️xx

I used to do that sometimes when out driving (sadly can't drive these days due to health), especially in an unfamiliar area. It's like being on a mystery tour, and it's amazing what you find.

Went round some of the Wingerworth area back lanes (2/10/24) on my way to classic bike meet where I bumped into KZbinr Martin Trafford. Wondered if it was you I passed with white bike on Walton Back Lane (17 Oct) on my way to film some back lanes which were new to me in Hathersage & Hope areas

This is what I do from time to time. I just take a left or a right and see where I end up. Get some lovely surprises.

I don’t really know where but I guess somewhere in the Ashover Triangle as I call it due to seeing a sign for Press Manor and at some point seeing the Spire ?? Great video and you’ve more nerve then myself I shudder the thought of going through a slippy Ford 🤟

Great video & weather. Lovely to see Derbyshire at this time of year. ❤️xx

I know those roads well. We come back to South Manchester that way from the Carding Shed, just outside of Holmfirth.

A bad copy of BSA

Does not sound like a real bsa. Don't like it must be air cooled
