I mean it happens. But for those watching, the lessons are: good look-out ahead (you may see traffic a long way off and anticipate where they will be when you cross paths); use a gear where the bike isn't going to struggle if the gradient quickly increases (the main cause of failures on this bend); remember your back brake if you conflict with oncoming traffic on a hill - it frees a hand up to retain control! And try to keep moving; once the gyro effect vanishes, things go south very quickly unless you're ready for them. I'm not a perfect rider who doesn't make mistakes, just one who deals with such roads on a frequent basis.

YOU HAD RIGHT OF WAY...sod the car

Glad to hear you eventually received verification on your ride! Well done sir.

Get it back together..I'll sing for you 😅

Hay young man I know how much you've had to give up but not you phone!! Let me know how your getting on in your new job etc!

Hi mate hope all is ok, I still have the vn 900 I got off you. 😊

Sure you will be back on 2 wheels soon and we can go riding once me bike is also fixed pal

Sorry to hear that ! Hope you're back on 2 wheels soon ! 👍🏻

Really nice to have filmed your Iron Butt ride. Have you kept a list of your stops that you can send to Iron Butt Crew ? On my first or second ride, I lost my camera about 2/3 of the ride and had no proof, but with my list of stops and time, and a google map layout, I could show them the ride I did and my receipts had the date and the hour on them. I am in Canada and did a 1600 km, and 2 X 2000km in 2022. This year, I'm going to do another 1600km(1000miles) to see and then, maybe a 2500 km (1500 miles) under 24 hours or close. We do these rides because we can them and it feels good when we can talk about them.

Bummer you didn’t get it, trying mine tomorrow ❤

Brilliant! I knew you would would do it because it was for a good cause even if the singing wont get you on BGT! looking forward to your next run when you get a bike thats as comfertable as a setee!

Well done

Great video. Great cause. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed

bloody well done lad - glad you smashed this, as you know they came to my aid after my bad crash a few weeks ago!

Sterling effort fella, well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 Your notifications are turned off from your side and won't let me activate them buddy. Thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟

Well done Craig ❤

I have just done all the Passes in Cumbria , well there was one closed due to road resurface, I rode them on a Himalayan 411, No problem use front brake accordingly with throttle, Yes it only takes 1 finger on blade, For those wanting to do these passes , use a light weight bike .

yes he did seem to be a nice bloke. Pity though that Simon King is now making money out of him flogging the book. Him and Dave's wife haven't had the decency to wait a respectable amount of time before jumping on the bandwagon. It's for charity.....ha...... A pig has just flown past. Dave carried him for years he was a proper chef

i wonder ist the extra roof would fly away in a storm ?

Gopro.. For when it doesn't go and isn't pro 😜

Nice video, had to laugh at you going outside,,, "dickie dark" 😂

Really like your channel, didn’t know seaways had the pods , we will definitely be booking one 👍 good walk round of the place.. brilliant!!

Great to see the variety of bikes that paid tribute to a man that had two wonderfull sides of him that even the weather cried at his loss!

This is so amazing to see ❤ Dave would have been smiling down upon you all ❤🙏 Rest peacefully sweet soul.

Total Respect Mr Myers.

A great tribute to a very nice person glad so many went and thanks all the organisers.

What a lovely tribute by all the bikers , for a cracking fella ....... Rest easy Dave !

Class tribute to a class person. Mark of the man when thousands who have never met Dave turned out

Bye Bye dave will catch you on the BIG HIGHWAY R I P dave you will never be forgotten pal.

It was a cracking ride out. Absolute bedlam at Scarborough. Unfortunately my camera fell off my helmet on the way to the ride.

Couldn't go due to work , Dave seemed a lovely genuine guy and more than deserving of this memorial ride unlike most of TV lands vacuous wastes of space ! RIP Dave 👍🏻

It was a fun day and lots of eggs gathered. Good to say hello 🙂

I came over and said hello with Mrs C today at the Egg Run today and you said about this video. It does look like a brilliant bit of road to pootle down, though very technical. Shame about the drop. I see what you mean about the car now! It's the bit at 18:20 that fills me with dread 😀

Its more than likely the only public toilet left!

A stealth camp where there was a brutal rape & murder in 2015......you don't half pick 'em👍🏻

Hi mate what phone mount is that your using on the gs thanks Fred

This was really useful to watch and learn from, so thank you. I've been umming over doing this for a while, and have decided to attempt the IBRSS1000 on the 29th Feb for the Leap year. I'll be on the FJR1300A, and whilst 300+ miles is doable, I found your video very interesting to see how the monotony of motorways will probably ruin me.

riding a bike doesnt make you more interesting

Thanks, although not on a mototbike we did both passes in a large motor home and my eyes were just glued to the road on them twists and turns praying we'd meet nothing coming the other way! Now thanks to you 20 years later I could at last see the spectacular scenery! I thought you were lucky not to have any on coming cars then whoops look what happened! still it wouldnt be you if "Everything went right would it!"

crackin ride out .i need to sort some rides out for myself good inspiration cheers from skegvegas

My seat sucks. I think my butt will divorce me soon. I have ordered a memory foam seat thing and a sheep skin cover. Happy travels Sir! Thanks for the video.

Anybody who says they had put anything back a bag as quick as it was unpacked believw me is lying! A "MUST" have if you go campimg is still the good old tin opener ,but hay!it was fun to watch somebody else have problems!

It’s sad that it wasn’t recognised but well done anyway

Congratulations on yer 1k ride very well done. Yes we all seen you do it and never worry about the certificate, it's only a piece of paper 😊 I would appeal that decision on the grounds of having proof with the fuel receipt ⛽️ and petrol station names. Did you mention the name of your helmet ⛑️ l didn't hear it. Mines a Shoei with pin lock, great helmet. Enjoyed watching your trip, very well done.

Nice vid

P R O M O S M

Happy new year ! Hope you get many miles clocked up on the plastic dolphin ! 😂 If a loud Interceptor passes you by that'll be me ! All the best 👍🏻

Well done 🎉
